Desperate Choices

I stared at him and reminded myself that I'd known him a long time. He'd never made any move he thought would harm me. This was Stefan, not some nameless hunter...

...I sat down beside him, all too conscious of the cool temperature of his body, cooler, I thought than usual. I was glad to know that this would help him, too. I was really, really tired of causing all my friends nothing but grief.

He brushed my hair away from my neck, and I caught his hand.

"What about the wrist?" The last time he'd bitten my wrist.

He shook his head. "It's more pianful. Too many nerves near the surface." He looked at me. "Do you trust me?"

"I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't."

...I wrapped my arms around myself and leaned against him.

"Okay, do it."

His arm came slowly around my shoulder and over my right arm. When I stayed put, he put his hand over my arms in such a way that I couldn't free myself.

"All right?" He asked calmly, as if need hadn't turned his eyes jewel-bright, like Christmas lights in the dark van.

"All right," I said.

His teeth must have been razor-sharp because I didn't feel them slice through skin, only the cool dampness of his mouth. Only when he began to draw blood did it start to hurt...

Another Mercy Thompson Fan Art. Characters Mercy Thompson (female on left) and Stefan (male on right)

It's a scene from BoneCrossed (I was a bit lazy so no actual background, in my defense the scene is suppose to be dark ) The girl was bitten before by another vampire. This was the only solution the two could figure out to fix the problem of having the other vampire following her and feeding from her again.

Again, references used. Line art made, then pastel work, then scanned and cleaned up in photoshop like the last piece I did. Took roughly 5 hours I think from start to finish.
