Self Taught
                Adam opened the front door of Dani’s apartment having convinced her to give him the extra key. He paused at the door being able to sense that she was there but he didn’t see her anywhere.
                “Don’t you knock.” He heard her say.
                “Where are you?” Dani’s hand appeared from behind the far couch. “And what are you doing down there?” A moment passed before her hand appeared again holding a container of Nutter Butters, tossing it over the couch. Adam shook his head, “Couldn’t just take my word for it. You had to try and eat Zombie food.”
                “Spoken like someone who has never had a Nutter Butter.” She responded.
                Adam walked around the couch to see her stretched out on her back, her hands over her stomach. “And was it worth it?”
                Dani closed her eyes, “It really wasn’t.”
                “Good. Maybe next time you’ll listen to me.” Reaching down he picked her up from the floor moving her to the couch. “You’re still new to this. Your body isn’t going to tolerate such nonsense.”
                “So, I never get to eat solid food ever again?” Dani hardly happy with that prospect.
                “Meat. You can have red meat sometimes.” He disappeared into the kitchen coming back with a shot glass of blood. “When I say red, I mean raw. Beef to be specific.” He sat down next to her, “Drink.”
                “Ugh, really? I don’t really want to eat. My insides feel like I ate broken glass with a razor blade and salt water chaser.” She said starring at his hand.
                “Now.” He said sternly. Dani sighed closing her eyes and took it knocking it back. She paused before swallowing it. After a moment she opened her eyes surprised to find that she felt much better. Adam held up the empty glass, “Blood has healing properties. Not only is it what we need to survive but keeps us healthy as well. If you get injured and don’t heal immediately, it’s because you haven’t been eating properly, or the damage is extensive and needs a boost. Like we gave you when I found you.”
                “Death by Nutter Butter. That sucks.” Dani looked over seeing the time and her eyes went wide, “Oh my God, I’m going to be late.” She got up from the couch and ran into her room.
                “Late for what? You don’t work tonight.” He said in a loud voice so she could hear him.
                “I’ve got a date!” She shouted back.
                Adam could hardly believe what she just said, “Excuse me?” He stood and followed after her. “What do you mean a ‘date’?”
                “You’re kidding right? You know what a date is, you have to.” Dani said changing her outfit.
                “Are you completely out of your mind? You can’t ‘date’ a zombie. You’re surrounded by them and the temptation they cause every day.” He protested, “You need to start limiting your exposure to them instead of seeking out more.”
                “Hey, you were the one who said I needed contact. And trust me, it’s been a long time since I’ve . . . contacted with anyone.” Dani twisted her hair up into a clip off her neck.
                “You think he’s not going to notice your extremely blow average body temperature? How about when you sink your teeth into his neck?” Adam demanded, “Probably catch his attention then.”
                “Adam.” Dani groaned, “Give me a break. Who knows, by morning I could have reached my ‘touching’ quota for the week.”
                “This isn’t a joke, Dani.” He said seriously walking up behind her. “It’s because you’re feeling it aren’t you? The craving for affection. That’s why you’re doing this incredibly dangerous and foolish act. Your instincts will win out in the end. You don’t have enough experience to control it, and whoever this boy is will be nothing more than a snack and missing person.” Adam’s voice was starting to rise the more he spoke but he was trying to remain calm. “If you kill a zombie, that brings the police into it, and then we’ll both have to move, and that precious job you’ve fought so hard to keep will be the first thing you’ll lose.”
                Dani sighed and turned around looking at him, “What am I supposed to do Adam? Seriously? You yourself told me that I need contact. How else am I meant to get it?”
                He stepped closer to her looking down into her eyes, “By coming to me. I thought we had established this already.”
                She crossed her arms, “I don’t think you know what I meant by ‘contact’, what I meant was . . .”
                “I know what you meant.” He said bluntly.
                Dani was properly surprised and started at him wide eyed. “Okay . . . and with that comment from a married man, I’m running late for my date.” She turned and walked to her mirror intending to put on her earrings. She sighed having forgot once again she had no reflection. So she closed her eyes to feel where to put them in.
                “When are you going to accept that you aren’t one of them anymore? Our morality is different because we live far longer than zombies do. Centuries and millennia go by but we remain.” He seemed to appear out of thin air standing behind her so close they were almost touching. He had no reflection in the mirror either. Reaching around her he caught her wrists pulling her hands away from her face and moving her arms down to her sides.
                Dani froze in place feeling extremely uncomfortable. Adam leaned closer to her and nuzzled her bare neck taking in her scent. He released her wrists and drew his fingers slowly back up her arms coming to rest on her shoulders. He continued to nuzzle to the back of her neck and around to the other side. Dani closed her eyes moving her head to give him more access. His touches were heavenly and it was so easy to get lost in them. Adam drew her body back against his, as his hands moved from her shoulders, down over her chest, then her breasts.
                Instantly her eyes popped open and she pushed his hands away from her. A little shaken she grabbed her jacket and quickly ran from the apartment. Adam clinched his jaw shaking his head.
Date Nights
                Dani came walking out of the movie theater with William pulling her jacket around her.“You know, they keep calling these things horror movies. I’m starting to think that horror is short for horrible.” Dani said with a smile.
                “I’m really glad you decided to come out with me tonight. I haven’t seen you very much since you transferred to night shifts.” He looked at her a moment, “Maybe you should give swing shift a shot. Get a little sun. You look really pale.” Dani looked away having been warned about his noticing earlier in the night. But regained her smile looking at him again.
                “I like working nights, sort of a night owl. That whole 9 to 5 grind gets old after a while.” She cleared her throat, “Thank you for inviting me William. Been a while since I’ve gone out. Nice to know there’s still a world turning out here.”
                William smiled, “My pleasure. You know, it’s still kind of early. Do you want to grab something to eat?” Dani’s smile faded again as her eyes turned down. “Hey? What’s wrong?” Reaching out he touched her face, “Good lord, you’re frozen solid. Here.” He took off his jacket wrapping it around her.
                “Umm. Maybe we should call it a night William.” She said softly.
                “Really?” He frowned, “But we’ve been having such a great time. I thought we could have some dinner, maybe go back to my place . . .” He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer, “Then maybe . . . some breakfast?”
                “And I would like that, very much. It’s just . . . it’s all very bad timing.” William sighed looking quite obviously annoyed. He’d been chasing Dani for months and now having finally gotten her to go out with him, disappointment would be putting it lightly.
                “What is going on with you lately Dani? First you disappear, then you come back and make all these changes to your schedule. You moved to a different apartment, you even changed the way you dress.” He took her hands holding them up, “And what’s this about? You wear them all the time except when you’re at work wearing latex ones.”
                “They get cold, okay?” She said pulling her hands back away from him noting how rough he was being.
                “And what about your eyes? What is the point of wearing contacts if you’re just going to wear sunglasses over them so no one can see them? It’s pointless!” William reached out and grabbed a hold of her almost shaking her.
                “William, STOP!” She said shoving him away a bit harder then she meant to not quite used to her own strength yet. “Please don’t grab me like that.” Dani rubbed her arms a bit. “I’m sorry.” She took off his jacket and handed it back, “Thank you. I had fun.”
                “Dani . . . I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that . . . I. . . I was just . . .” He stuttered.
                “You’re frustrated. I know. So am I.”
Long Distance
                “Adam, where are you? That isn’t your house.” Eve asked.
                “It’s Dani’s apartment.” He said through half grit teeth.
                “Ah. Still haven’t convinced her to move back in yet then?” He didn’t reply answering her question. “Where is she? Is she there with you?”
                “No. She’s out on a . . . ‘date’. Despite the fact I warned her against it. By morning there may be clean up to be done. Then she’ll have no choice but to move back in.” Adam grumbled.
                “She’s young, Adam. She has a lot to learn and sometimes she’ll have to learn by experience. You can tell her what you know and offer her all the knowledge in the world, but what it comes down to is what she decides to act or not act on.” Eve explained. “What of her nutrition? Is she continuing to drink well?”
                “Yes. She’s drinking quite a bit. Definitely a change from how this all began.” He sighed rubbing his eyes slightly, “The other half of her health is a struggle.”
                “Affection? She’s going to start craving it sooner or later.” Eve replied.
                “Hence the ill advised ‘date’ night.” Eve was smiling slightly as she looked at him on the screen. “Are you finding this amusing?”
                “No darling, not at all.” She hadn’t seen him so energetic and passionate in years. Granted it was frustration and anger, but it was pulling him out of his depression putting attention elsewhere. Exactly what she hoped would happen. “Have you offered her any affection yourself? If you’re concerned about her dating zombies, you can give her what she needs.”
                “I’ve tried but she just pulls away. Or runs away like she did tonight.”
                “Really? Why would she do that?” Eve asked surprised to hear it.
                “She made a remark about my being a ‘married man’ before she fled the apartment like it was on fire.” Adam grumbled.
                “Ah. I see. Would it help if I spoke with her?”
                “Be my guest because I don’t seem to be able to get it through her thick skull. She’s so incredibly stubborn and continues to resist everything.” Just then the front door flung open. Dani threw her stuff down on the table next to the door, storming into her room and slammed the door closed behind her.
                “What’s all that about?” Eve asked.
                “I don’t know, but I’m sensing drama.” Adam said with a sigh.
                “I’ll let you go so you can speak with her. Just remember, she needs help even if she doesn’t realize it yet. But she will. I’ll call her tomorrow night, see if I can’t convince her that I’m not the jealous type. There’s nothing wrong with physical affection. It won’t intrude on what you and I share if that’s what concerns her so.”
                “I love you Eve. I miss you more than mere words can express.” Eve smiled and kissed the screen before hanging up.
Mentors
                Adam found that Dani left the door to her room unlocked and went inside. She’d flopped face down on the bed not even bothering to take off her shoes or jacket. He walked over putting a glass of blood down on her nightstand. “If you’re back already, I take it things didn’t go as you planned?”
                “He wanted to go out to dinner.” Her voice muffled by her face being pressed into the mattress.
                “Ah. And I suppose one attempt to choke down zombie food was enough for one day.”
                “I thought you were going home.” She said still not moving.
                Adam crawled onto the bed beside her leaning up on one elbow. “You know I try to come see you on one of your two nights off. Since you refuse to come to my house unless it’s a 15 minute blood delivery or less.” Reaching out he rested his hand on her back, “Even then you do your best to avoid me.”
                “Would you please stop touching me all the time. It’s creepy.” She said loudly.
                “Uh huh.” Adam studied her for a moment. Then making a decision, he pulled her to sit up and took her jacket off. “Come on. Shoes too.” Dani groaned but moved to the edge of the bed taking off her shoes and socks throwing them at the wall. “Good girl. Now drink.” He instructed handing her the glass. She started to protest not really in the mood to eat anything and feeling like they had already done this dance once tonight. “Drink.” He demanded.
                “The vampire cure-all huh?” She said looking at the glass.
                “Dani . . .” Adam wasn’t fond of having to repeat himself and she made him to it far too often which tried his patience.
                She rolled her eyes and took the glass and started to drink but stopped. “Oh, God Adam. This is far too hot. It’s blood, not tea. Unless this person had a 109 degree fever when the blood was drawn.” She said starting to push it away.
                “No, drink it all. Now. Just as it is.” Adam said pushing the glass back to her lips.
                “I swear you exist solely to make my life a living hell.” She closed her eyes and hesitated a moment before shooting the rest of the hot blood back. He took the glass from her and set it back on the nightstand. Dani closed her eyes and flopped back down on the bed suddenly feeling extremely relaxed.
                “Are you feeling it yet?” He asked looking down at her.
                Dani furrowed her brow definitely feeling something as it ran through her body. It made her warm and tingly all over. “What did you do?” She said opening her eyes and looking up at him.
                “Blood heated to Zombie body temperature is one thing. It’s wonderful, life sustaining, pure liquid ecstasy.” He moved closer to her looking down into her eyes, “But hot blood makes our cold bodies live again. At least for a little while.” Reaching over he rested his hand over her chest just below her throat, feeling the warmth that spread through her body. “Better then a zombie’s body wrapped around you I imagine.”
                Dani sighed, “I wouldn’t know.”
                “Didn’t get that far on your date then.” Adam said.
                She opened her eyes and glared at him, “Go ahead. Say it.”
                “Say what?”
                “ Say ‘I told you so’. That has to be why you stayed instead of going home.” Dani huffed, “So you can gloat?”
                “No, that isn’t why I stayed. I wanted to make certain you made it home before dawn and I didn’t have to pick you up in a dust bin.” He said plainly.
                “Really? Vampire’s really turn into dust if they die?” She said.
                “Only in the sunlight, because we burn up so quickly all that is left is ash. But if you’re talking about a wooden bullet, a stake in the heart, blood poisoning, or anything along those lines, then no. We don’t magically poof into dust.” He explained. “And no. I don’t take pleasure in knowing your evening didn’t go as you had hoped it would.”
                She closed her eyes and shook her head rubbing her face, “No big loss. He had a hidden violent streak in him I really don’t need complicating my life at this point.”
                Adam looked at her, “What violent streak? What do you mean?” He felt a flash of anger at the thought, “Did he hurt you?”
                “No. And I didn’t wait around to see if he would either. I’m not a complete moron.” He could see and hear the disappointment that came off of her in waves.
                Reaching over he moved her further up onto the bed beside him. She jumped not having expected to be moved like that and started to sit up but he laid her back down. Reaching up he closed her eyes with his hand. Talking didn’t seem to be doing a whole lot of good between them. It was time to try something else. He unbuttoned her blouse one button at a time before opening her shirt revealing her alabaster white skin in stark contrast to the black satin and lace bra she wore.
                He rested the flat of his hand over her belly a moment letting her become accustomed to his touch. Her body trembled slightly when he slowly moved his hand over her warm curves. The warmth wouldn’t last for too long, their bodies were too cold to sustain it. His hand continued to move up between her breasts to her neck. His other hand joined as he slid his fingers into her hair which was fresh, soft, and clean. She still bathed daily, she had to since she worked in the medical profession.
                His hands moved back down her body to her jeans and unbuttoned them before pulling them off in one swift movement. She really was hoping for the date to go differently seeing her underwear matched. Adam’s hands returned to her body as they moved slowly down her hips, thighs, and legs leaving nothing untouched. He began to move back up her body, his strong hands caressing her form.
                When she felt his hands start to pull at her undergarments, her eyes opened and she instantly sat up grabbing his wrists stopping him looking into his eyes. It was quite clear that this wasn’t an appropriate time to let her mouth run as it had a tendency to do. But just going this far without running out of the room screaming was hard enough without going any further. Adam met her gaze for a moment before giving a nod deciding that removing her outer clothing was enough for now. He reached up slipping her blouse off over her shoulders tossing it aside with her other things. Then he turned her over to lay on her stomach. He took off his own shirt throwing it to the floor before straddling her thighs. Then his hands returned to their endeavor to caress and explore every inch of her form. Starting at her shoulders then down over her back and thighs, then back up and around her neck.
                He could feel her body relaxing beneath his touch. Finally she was getting used to him instead of pushing him away again. After a few moments his hands moved to her arms moving them to lie on either side of her head. Then his fingertips traced the length of her arms to her shoulders and then back to her wrists, wrapping his hands around them as he lay down against her. Bare skinned, his breast to her back. He leaned his cheek to hers just resting like this for a moment. Letting the calming feeling they both felt washing over them both.
                “You’re keeping your trousers on, right?” She said softly after a few minutes her eyes remaining closed.
                “Grow up Dani.” He replied his eyes still closed as well. “But, I will if you truly wish it.”
                “Yes. Please.” She said feeling nervous about this as it was.
                “Weren’t you planning on going home with a man on your first date earlier this evening? How is going with him better than with me?” He asked.
                “Because I could lose his number afterwards if I needed to. It’s not like I see him every day anymore.” She admitted, “You, on the other hand . . .”
                A smile swept his face hearing her say that finding it incredibly amusing for some reason. She didn’t seem the type to play the field. Perhaps she wasn’t that way before she was turned, but being what she was now it may have been the wisest course of action if she insisted on continuing to see Zombies. “The sun will be up in a few hours.” He said nuzzling her neck like he had before, enjoying her savory scent.
                “I have to leave as soon as the sun sets tonight. Early shift.” She said with a soft contented sigh.
                “Keep your phone with you, Eve is going to call you as well.” Adam said.
                Suddenly Dani’s eyes snapped opened. “Oh my god. Eve!” She was horrified she actually forgot about her for a moment. She sat up beneath him nearly throwing him off the bed but he caught himself before hitting the floor. “Jeez. JEEZ!!” Dani exclaimed quickly moving to jump off the bed and get her clothes. However Adam caught her arm and pulled her back to him. “Adam, let me go. Seriously!”
                “No. You need to be quiet and actually listen to me for once.” He held her a bit tighter so she couldn’t slip away. “You aren’t doing anything wrong. Eve is fully aware of what’s going on and she has no issue with it whatsoever. In fact she encourages it.”
                Dani starred at him with a blank look, “What.”
                “I told you, affection is essential to our well being.” He reminded her.
                She covered her eyes with her hand a bit horrified, “Oh GOD. This just keeps getting weirder by the day.”
                “I can’t remember the last time I had to deal with such drama. Centuries of living and you who are going to manage to be the death of me girl.” He took a breath still holding her tight against him. “Listen. In order to heal you, you had to feed from us. Both Eve and myself. Making us practically family.”
                “You’re making it worse.” Dani said her eyes wide.
                “Hush, I’m not done yet.” He said holding his finger to her lips. “I will say it yet again hoping that it penetrates into that hard head of yours this time. There is nothing wrong with any of this. Neither of us is betraying anyone, lying to anyone, or any of that nonsense that goes with zombie moral ambiguity. This is a different world entirely, and the rules aren’t the same.”
                Dani was quiet a moment thinking things over. Adam watched her waiting for a response as to what she had decided. “Alright.” She said softly, “I get it. Just . . . can we draw a line here? As in, no getting completely naked? Please?”
                Adam rolled his eyes, “Fine.”
                Dani gave a sigh of relief as he released her. It was a small compromise but one she could live with. Adam lay down and motioned for her to join him. She moved closer and lay down next to him and he wrapped his arm around her and he rested her head against his shoulder.
                “Good girl.” He said resting his cheek to her head.
Problems
                Adam looked at the clock starting to anxiously pace. It was only 15 minutes until sunrise and Dani hadn’t come home yet. He left the door unlocked and open in case she came sliding in at the last minute. At which point she was going to receive an ear full about cutting things so close. But the time gap was quickly closing and it was starting to get light outside. Finally he couldn’t wait any longer and closed the door locking it tight.
                “Fuck.” He hissed now trapped in her apartment for the day. She’d finished refitting everything so that no light could get in so he was quite safe with plenty of room to roam about. But not knowing where Dani was, or what had happened to her was upsetting. She could have been caught out in the open and suffered an incredibly painful death. The burning goes much slower when the sun wasn’t shining directly on its victim.
                Suddenly the landline rang and he immediately picked it up, “Where the fuck are you?”
                “How did you know it was me?” Dani asked knowing she didn’t have caller ID.
                “Probably the same way you knew to call me at your damn apartment. WHERE are you?” He demanded.
                “I’m hiding in the morgue in the hospital basement.” She said her voice very soft.
                “What? Why?”
                “There was a bomb threat and they’re sweeping the building. Unfortunately that means herding all nonessential personnel outside in the parking lot. I tried to slip out to get home, but they aren’t letting cars leave without a search.” Dani explained. “I would have still been in line to be searched when the sun came up.”
                “Can you stay hidden there until nightfall?” This was exactly the reason she couldn’t hold onto her life as tightly as she was trying to.
                “Once they finish their sweep of the hospital, I should be in the clear.” She reassured him. “I think I just . . . . oh! Gotta go!” The phone went dead and Adam looked at it before slamming it down.
                This was a severe problem. Even though there was a blood supply at the hospital she would never feed there. There was too much risk of being caught. However with this turn of events she would be trapped there until sunset. She wouldn’t get her morning meal and she was going to get hungry. There was a vast array of temptations in the hospital. Wounded zombies would only provoke her hunger, and if she was in the morgue there would be newly deceased bodies that would have blood in them. They hadn’t gone over the dangers of eating from the dead, and the danger of contaminated blood. Both of which could result in deadly blood poisoning. She had a good head on her shoulders and was smart, but the worse the hunger got the less she’d be able to think rationally.
                “FUCK!” He wasn’t going to be able to sleep for the entire day now.
Aftermath
                After sunset, Adam waited for a few hours but he still didn’t hear from Dani and she didn’t come home. Rather than wait, he put on his scrubs that he hadn’t had to use for a few years and went down to the hospital to find out what was keeping her. When he arrived he found that Dani’s car was still in the parking lot. He had tried to call her countless times during the day but it always went to voice mail. It wasn’t looking good in any capacity.
                Once inside he made his way down to the morgue, the last place he had heard she was. The lights were off and he walked inside looking around not seeing anyone. He started to leave when he heard a tapping sound and stopped. He looked around when the tapping came again. It was coming from the wall of freezer drawers meant for corpse storage. The tapping came a third time and he found the locker the noise was coming from, unlocking it and opening the door.
                “Oh good, it is you.” Dani said with a sigh of relief. Adam arched a brow taking her arm pulling her out of the drawer. “How cool is that? I’m not even sure I heard someone out here, but I knew you were here. How does that work?”
                “Great.” Adam gave her a look wanting an explanation as to why she was locked in a freezer drawer.
                “Oh. They started to sweep the basement and I couldn’t get out, and couldn’t be passed them. So I got into one of the empty ones. I found out a little late that they aren’t made for getting out from the inside. I ended up stuck.” She admitted.
                Adam rolled his eyes taking her by the arm and marching out of the room to leave the hospital. Had he not come for her, she’d be stuck still until someone opened the door. Then she would have to explain why she was there in the first place. He went with her to her locker waiting for her to gather her things still not saying anything. Dani paused a moment leaning her head against the lockers. She was much paler than usual and her eyes had grown somewhat dim. Shaking it off, she closed her locker and they left.
                Back at her apartment, Dani had a mind to lie down feeling completely exhausted. However Adam stopped her and rerouted her to the kitchen. “I’ll eat in a little while, Adam. I just need a nap.”
                “No, you need to eat now. You aren’t tired you’re starving. Learn to tell the difference.” Dani groaned and reluctantly got blood bags out of the fridge. Adam watched her closely as she prepared them. She seemed to be doing fine until she started to pour the bags into the glasses. Then, seeing what he had suspected beginning, Adam quickly moved behind her. Dani’s eyes dilated and began to glow brighter. Her fangs became so sharp and elongated you could see the tips showing through her lips. Dani’s hands started to shake as she could smell the scent of the blood.
                Putting his arms around her, Adam caught her hands just as she brought the bag to her mouth attacking it. She struggled trying to get back at it snapping and gnashing her teeth, a deep growl coming from inside her chest. Adam kept clamped down on her hands and body tighter trying to keep her still. She was much stronger than usual; the hunger was making her feral. They continued to struggle until he took her down onto the kitchen floor. He managed to twist her arms down behind her and held them there. Reaching over he got the bag of blood that had been dropped.
                Adam held the bag up to her lips and instantly she chomped into the bag gulping at the warm crimson blood. He kept it just out of her reach to keep her from drinking it too fast. The first bag empty, he quickly reached over grabbing the second bag holding it to her mouth watching as she bit into that one as well. When the bag was empty as she’d sucked it dry, her body started to relax and her eyes closed. Seeing that the attack had passed, Adam lay her down on the floor tossing the empty bag away. Looking at her face, he opened her mouth seeing her fangs had begun to recede. Checking her eyes he saw they had nearly returned to normal.
                Her having been locked up all day kept her away from the temptations in the hospital and away from the dangers and zombies that inhabited it. Perhaps it also kept her from realizing how hungry she was. Eve and Adam had become strong enough to resist their more basic carnal instincts; otherwise they would attack the zombies at the drop of a hat if they had gone a two or three days without feeding. Dani however, was still very new. She couldn’t control the beast within her waiting just below the surface. If he had let her gorge herself, she could have gone through her entire blood supply. Rather than getting better, it would have made things much worse.
                He sat down next to her, “You’re going to need to learn how to control that too.” Adam said with a sigh.
