Vampire

|
|
I had always been afraid of the dark. I had been nearsighted, and the
|
|
dark hid those things that were far away... I jumped at every twitch of a
|
|
shadow. My friends made fun of me, and one night, as a high school prank, they
|
|
took me to a cemetery and left me there. I had been dared to play a game of
|
|
hideandseek with my friends, but after having hidden for several minutes,
|
|
I heard no sound. My knees were already bruised from having knocked together
|
|
so much, and I had bitten my tongue as my teeth chattered nervously. I
|
|
cautiously moved out from my hiding place I had not been all that well
|
|
hidden to begin with and called out after my friends. No answer came. We
|
|
had each taken a flashlight from the car, and I took mine from my pocket and
|
|
flicked the switch. My breath caught in my throat when no light came. I shook
|
|
the object and the sound told me the batteries had been removed. I began to
|
|
curse my friends, cursing the day I had met them, cursing the fact that they
|
|
thought so little of me to leave me here with my fears. And when I was done
|
|
cursing, I sank to the ground, exhausted and terrified, huddled up against the
|
|
cold stone of a gravestone.
|
|
My fears grew, and I imagined I saw figures creeping from stone to
|
|
stone, glittering eyes peering out at me, glittering teeth with saliva waiting
|
|
to taste me. A scream caught and died in my throat, only a harsh croak
|
|
emerging. I struggled to my feet and began to run blindly, tripping over
|
|
stones, heedless of the bruises and scratches I received. Only a fall over an
|
|
embankment to land face down in the soft ground of a bed of flowers stopped me.
|
|
My heart pounding, I slowly raised my eyes from the ground and looked for light
|
|
any source of light to travel towards.
|
|
I heard the soft crack of a broken branch and rolled over onto my back.
|
|
Footsteps moved slowly in my direction, and I scuttled backwards crablike until
|
|
my back was against the stone door of a tomb and there was no further for me to
|
|
go. A voice called out, Who's there? and the cold quality of it sent shivers
|
|
down my spine. There was a click, and a beam of light swept the area, lighting
|
|
on my face.
|
|
I looked towards the source of the light welcome light and saw a
|
|
man standing there, not much older than myself. I didn't recognize him, so I
|
|
felt that perhaps he was one of the students from the local college or perhaps a
|
|
private school nearby. He stood perhaps 6 feet tall, with sharp features and a
|
|
bright shock of unruly blond hair. His expression was concerned, and I
|
|
realized what a fright I must look. I ran my hands selfconsciously through my
|
|
dark hair, brushing tangled locks back from my face.
|
|
I heard voices and a car, he explained, moving closer to me, reaching
|
|
out a hand to help me stand. The shock of his cold touch made me grasp his
|
|
hand longer than I had intended, and I slowly released it to rub my hands
|
|
together for warmth. He continued, And then I heard the voices leave, saying
|
|
something about having left someone in here as a trick. I thought I should
|
|
come look. He gestured at a house nearby. I live right over there. Your
|
|
friends parked in front of my house.
|
|
Friends? I laughed, somewhat hysterically. You must be joking.
|
|
He shrugged, the motion fluid and strangely erotic. I found myself
|
|
watching him move, entranced by his eyes. He looked back at me, and again moved
|
|
closer, placing an arm about my shoulders. This time I didn't try to draw back
|
|
for his arm felt right where it was, and I didn't wish to discourage him.
|
|
Perhaps you would like to clean up? he asked softly. I could lend
|
|
you some clothes while yours wash... His voice trailed off and his eyes,
|
|
silvery blue, stared into mine. I felt as if I were captured and sinking
|
|
slowly into the depths of his soul.
|
|
I nodded, and he began to lead me out of the hellish darkness to the
|
|
street, which although not welllit seemed like the brightest of heavens to me.
|
|
I relaxed visibly as we reached the first street light, and he allowed me to
|
|
rest a moment and catch my breath before moving on to his home.
|
|
As we stepped inside the house, I was surprised to see how empty it
|
|
seemed. He glanced at me, and saw my puzzled expression. I rent the house,
|
|
he explained. And I am not yet fortunate enough to have found a room mate. He
|
|
reached up to turn on the light, and a chandelier overhead lit the foyer.
|
|
I should explain. The houses along the streets by this cemetery were
|
|
the oldest houses in the town, and many were decorated in keeping with the time
|
|
in which they were built. Some were almost museums, and were even open to the
|
|
public part time. Apparently, however, the owner of this one had decided to
|
|
rent out the house. I decided that the stranger must be a student at the
|
|
college. No one my age should be able to afford the rent of a place such as
|
|
this.
|
|
He motioned for me to follow him and led me down into the cellar, where
|
|
the washroom was. He then left me with the washer while he went to get a
|
|
change of clothes for me to borrow. When he had returned with the clothes, I
|
|
quickly motioned for him to leave the room and then stripped, throwing the
|
|
clothes caked with mud from my mad dash through the graveyard into the
|
|
washer and hastily donned the large tshirt and sweatpants. I then used the
|
|
sink in the corner to clean my face as best as possible, and raked my fingers
|
|
through my hair to try to remove some of the tangles. A glance in the mirror
|
|
showed that I had achieved a look of windswept appeal. I no longer looked
|
|
like a grub, and felt even somewhat attractive. At least, I hoped I looked so,
|
|
for I had felt a magnetism drawing me to him, and hoped he might feel the same.
|
|
And as I had so long to pass in his company, I thought to make as much of the
|
|
time as possible.
|
|
I climbed the stairs from the cellar to the kitchen, and looked around
|
|
to see where he had gone. As the door swung shut behind me, he called out, I
|
|
am in the living room, follow my voice.
|
|
I followed his voice, for he continued to talk as I moved through the
|
|
house, and found him in a large living room, kneeling before a freshly lit fire
|
|
which crackled in the fireplace. He motioned for me to have a seat on the rug
|
|
beside him.
|
|
He smiled up at me, his eyes glinting in the firelight. The flickering
|
|
flames lent his hair red highlights as he spoke. I suppose I should introduce
|
|
myself. He grinned a slightly lopsided grin, and I found myself again staring
|
|
into his unusual eyes. My name is Jacob Beck, but most people I know call me
|
|
Jake.
|
|
I nodded, not taking my eyes from his face. I'm Katherine, I said
|
|
slowly. His eyes grew serious and I felt as if I were slipping into a dream.
|
|
He reached a hand up to touch my cheek, turning my face so that I looked at him
|
|
direct, not from the side as I had been before. As I sat, spellbound, he
|
|
slowly moved toward me, his eyes looming large before me, until his lips
|
|
touched mine with the impact of an electric shock.
|
|
I jumped in surprise at the shock that coursed through me. I felt as if
|
|
liquid fire spread through my veins, sapping my strength yet vitalizing me at
|
|
the same time. My mouth moved, silently saying Jake's name. He smiled at my
|
|
reaction, then frowned, as if displeased with himself. He stood and walked to
|
|
the other side of the room.
|
|
I... am sorry Katherine. He stood with his back to me, arms folded,
|
|
back rigid. I should not take advantage of you while you are here.
|
|
Call me Kat, I said softly, as I stood and walked over to stand
|
|
behind him. I reached a hand out and lightly touched him between the shoulder
|
|
blades. His back rippled at the touch, and I felt his muscles grow taut
|
|
beneath my touch. I slowly slid both arms around him until they rested on his
|
|
chest and my breast were pressed against his back, my nipples hard against the
|
|
taut muscles.
|
|
My breath caught in my throat. I spoke in a low voice, I wouldn't say
|
|
you are taking advantage of me...
|
|
He turned, catching me in his arms, holding me pressed up against him.
|
|
I could feel his manhood throbbing hot against my thigh. He bent his head to
|
|
kiss my neck, the gentle touch sending licks of fire through my body,
|
|
coalescing in a warmth and wetness between my legs. I moaned, and my knees
|
|
grew weak and buckled beneath me. He caught me and scooped me into his arms,
|
|
carrying me easily to set me again on the rug before the fire.
|
|
He set me down and reach for the hem of the shirt I wore. He raised
|
|
his eyes to mine those silvery blue eyes and asked, Are you sure?
|
|
I nodded. Yes.
|
|
He gently drew the tshirt over my head, and my nipples hardened again
|
|
as his gaze swept over me. I wore no underclothes beneath the clothes he had
|
|
lent me, for all my own clothes were in the washer downstairs. He bent his
|
|
head to kiss first one nipple, then the other, then gently lick swirls around
|
|
one breast, coming teasingly close to the nipple, until he finally took it in
|
|
his mouth as I moaned loudly in pleasure. I wound my fingers in his hair,
|
|
pressing him closer to my breast. He sucked deeply on the nipple, then his
|
|
tongue began its teasing journey to the other breast, first sliding up my
|
|
collar bone, then the side of my neck, over my lips... pausing to dart quickly
|
|
in and out of my mouth... then down the other side of my neck, the collar bone,
|
|
and then again in slow teasing circles around my breast. He drew it out this
|
|
time, his tongue tracing around the nipple, coming closer than drawing away,
|
|
until I cried out for him to take it in his mouth. He obliged, sucking hard
|
|
at the tender nub.
|
|
He raised his head to catch my eye with his own unusual sight, and I
|
|
smiled contentedly. He raised himself up on one elbow and began tugging at the
|
|
string holding my sweat pants on with his free hand. When I stopped him, he
|
|
looked at me quizzically.
|
|
I motioned for him to stand, and then stood before him. I reached up
|
|
and unbuttoned each button on the shirt he wore, drawing out the time it took
|
|
to strip him by running my fingers and tongue over each inch of flesh as I
|
|
exposed it. Finally all the buttons were undone, and I slipped the shirt over
|
|
his arms and dropped it on the floor. Then I wrapped my arms around him,
|
|
drawing his hips close by wrapping a leg behind one knee. By standing as tall
|
|
as possible, I could just reach his lips with my own and kissed him. He kissed
|
|
me back, hard, but allowed me to take the initiative when I tried. I slid my
|
|
tongue inside his mouth, exploring, and then took his tongue into my own mouth.
|
|
We fenced in this way for quite a while, until I felt my knees again grow weak
|
|
with desire. I tore my lips from his and returned to my task of undressing
|
|
him.
|
|
I leaned my head against his chest and heard his heart pounding inside.
|
|
As I slid one hand over his hip then across the front of his leg to caress the
|
|
bulging hardness in my hand, the heartbeat sped up, and I could hear his
|
|
breathing grow ragged. I looked up at him to find him staring at me, his eyes
|
|
nearly glowing in the firelight. Holding his gaze in my own, my hands found
|
|
the snaps of his pants and unfastened them, then sliding the zipper down. I
|
|
pulled the pants and underwear over his hips, kneeling to reach to his feet,
|
|
and his rigid manhood sprang free. He stepped out of the pants and kicked them
|
|
aside, his eyes still fastened on me.
|
|
Still kneeling before him, I took his rod in one hand, cupping his
|
|
balls with the other. My eyes twinkled at him as I bent my lips to touch the
|
|
tip of his manhood. His gasp of pleasure spurred me on, and I took the whole
|
|
thing in my mouth, running my tongue over the sensitive tip, running my hand up
|
|
and down the length of it. As my tongue caressed the tip, tasting the salty
|
|
drops that glistened when I drew back to look at it, his breathing grew rougher.
|
|
Finally he gasped, Enough! His fingers had tangled in my hair and he roughly
|
|
pulled my head back and knelt down before me, kissing me searingly. A bright,
|
|
hot flame shot through me as he pushed me backwards onto the rug, his hand
|
|
roughly caressing my breast, teasing the nipple to a hard point once again.
|
|
I had roused him to the edge of passion, and he was no longer teasing
|
|
me. Instead, his caresses grew rougher, and as my passion mounted I welcomed
|
|
him. He quickly untied the sweat pants and drew them, soaked already with my
|
|
juices, off of me and threw them to the other side of the room. He lay over
|
|
me, his mouth on my breast, one hand caressing my hips, his hardness between my
|
|
legs, seeking entrance. He raised himself over me, positioning himself, and
|
|
then drove into me so hard that I gasped in surprise. My legs wrapped around
|
|
him, pulling him closer as he drove into me. My breath came in harsh gasps as
|
|
his tongue licked a path of fire from my breast up to the side of my neck,
|
|
trailing warmth from the cleft between my collar bones to the hollow behind my
|
|
ear. I had never known my neck to be so sensitive, but as he nuzzled and
|
|
licked it, I felt the heat within me growing.
|
|
My moans grew louder, as did his, until we were both frantically
|
|
straining together. I felt the tension build within me and then, like a dam,
|
|
it burst and I arched against him, shouting in my ecstasy. As I yelled, I felt
|
|
him tense inside me, and then a sharp pain in my neck as his tender kisses
|
|
turned into a deep bite. Then all was darkness.
|
|
I awoke to feel his weight still upon me, and opened my eyes to see him
|
|
staring down at me, his silvery blue eyes focused on mine. As I watched, he
|
|
bent to kiss my neck again, and I felt the strangest sensation as he did so,
|
|
surprisingly erotic for so soon after orgasm. When he raised his eyes again to
|
|
mine, his lips dripped red. I thought to scream, but no sound came out.
|
|
He bent to kiss me, my lifeblood still on his lips, and I thought to
|
|
resist. But when I tasted it, it was as if something came alive within me, and
|
|
I eagerly licked all trace of it from his lips. I felt frightened of this
|
|
strange taste, but curiously calm as well. He simply smiled at me and raised a
|
|
finger to his mouth. When he held his hand out to me, I saw the drop of blood
|
|
welling from where he had bitten the tip of his finger. I eagerly took his
|
|
finger in my mouth and sucked it with the same care I had given his manhood
|
|
only minute before. Doing this sent much the same sensations through me, and I
|
|
felt myself grow aroused again. When I looked into his eyes, I could see he
|
|
felt the same.
|
|
I reached between us to feel him grow hard in my hands, and guided him
|
|
inside me again. My body was eager for his, and still wet from before, and the
|
|
joining was easy. His lips caressed my neck, and I gave in freely to the
|
|
sensation that rocked through me, sending shocks of heat straight to where I
|
|
held him inside me. I moaned loudly, rocking with him, and as if of their own
|
|
volition, my lips found the tender flesh of the side of his neck. My tongue
|
|
teased, drawing sharp gasps from him, as I seduced him with my tongue and my
|
|
body. When my teeth grown strangely sharp plunged into his neck so that
|
|
the lifeblood spilled into my mouth and dribbled down the sides of my lips onto
|
|
his neck, I felt his teeth likewise enter my own body, and both our bodies
|
|
tensed and released in a glorious orgasm.
|
|
It was less time before I returned to reality this time, and again he
|
|
was staring at me, this time a smile on his face. I believe you clothes may
|
|
be clean, he said solemnly, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
|
|
I couldn't believe he was talking about clothes. I reached up to touch
|
|
the blood still dripping down the side of his neck. I brought my finger back
|
|
to my lips to lick the drop off, and he kissed me to taste of the small drop.
|
|
Then he smiled. I said it would be taking advantage of you...
|
|
I raised a hand to his cheek. I wanted it. I touched his lips, and
|
|
he opened his mouth so I could see the sharp canines I hadn't noticed before.
|
|
I felt my own teeth to find them just as sharp. I looked at him, still not
|
|
entirely sure of all that had happened.
|
|
He shrugged and rolled over, taking me with him so that I now straddled
|
|
him, with him still inside me. He looked up at me and spoke seriously. Kat,
|
|
now that you have tasted blood, you will forever desire to taste it.
|
|
Am I a... vampire? I struggled over the word, not willing to believe
|
|
it.
|
|
He nodded. I have been such since long before you were born. He
|
|
looked away and then looked back, catching my gaze with his strange eyes. You
|
|
will not be welcome in your town.
|
|
Will anyone I bite become a vampire? I asked.
|
|
He shook his head. Nor will you desire everyone whose blood you
|
|
desire. I blushed for I had already thought of the probably outcome of having
|
|
to sleep with someone in order to drink their blood. However... he
|
|
continued.
|
|
Yes? I looked at him expectantly.
|
|
There is no need for variety in blood to satisfy your taste, he told
|
|
me, his eyes serious. You could, say, drink only mine and be quite happy.
|
|
I grinned as I realized what he meant, and leaned over so my nipples
|
|
brushed his lips. His tongue darted out, tasting the nipple on its way by, and
|
|
my body surprised me by responding so strongly. My eyes were caught by the
|
|
stain of blood on his neck and I lowered my lips to taste it as his hands
|
|
caressed my buttocks, wreaking havoc with my senses, quickly exciting me again
|
|
as I kissed his neck. I thought about my friends who had left me in the
|
|
graveyard. I thought about my life in this town. Then I thought about Jake,
|
|
and the taste of his lifeblood, and the wonderful things his hands were doing
|
|
to my body as I moaned in ecstasy. And I knew I would stay.
