Decision

The heart she never thought she had wrenched painfully with every scream he emitted. She couldn't console him, the pain wasn't ever going to ebb away. Her mind raced but no answer came to her... save for one. No, she promised herself she would never allow him to be turned, to preserve his humanity... and yet she could see no other way. Her selfish soul desired his existence, she couldn't let go. She wouldn't. Without regards for the aftermath upon herself, what the poison would do to her, Dusk leaned into Skilar's neck and drank the tainted blood.
His body began to twitch and spasm, the screams were more murderous than ever before, and it was all Dusk could do to keep from letting go. Slowly, the effects of the poisoned blood began to build up until it started attacking her body full force. Her instincts willed her to break away; she fought to keep going until he was completely devoid of the poison. Tears streamed down her face, not only in response to the pain, but to think that this would be the last of Skilar's humanity she would ever have to remember by...

She was able to extract all the tainted blood and at last released Skilar from her grasp, watching as the agonizing transformation from human to vampire took hold before her eyes. Pain, everywhere in her body, forced her unto the ground as she curled into a ball as though it would help relieve the torturous agony. She closed her eyes as the pain intensified and her vision turn hazy, content with the promise of death...
