Chapter 49 Thirst

• CHAPTER FORTY NINE
• Morpheus Hunter took Karen to his lair and as he made fire, he watched the lady on his bed. Her chest was rising steadily and he knew she was sleeping and there was a high chance that she would soon wake up. He tucked her with his blanket and sat behind the fire and watched through the flames. When she wakes up, he knows she will be cold and…thirsty! That thirst that would gnaw at her neck and she would not be able to resist. Something had happened to her when he was biting her, he had not just drank her blood, he had turned her into a vampire.
• "No! No! Bugs away! No!" said Karen as she fisted the sheets of the bed and moved her head from side to side. Hunter was by her side the next instant and he knew she was having a nightmare. He picked her up and cradled her on his lap as he tried to jerk her awake. He finally succeeded and immediately her eyes flew open, he was expecting her to shove him away from her but she pulled him close to herself and placed her face in the crook of her neck.
