February 2nd

Laura walks out of the plane and takes the time to stretch after the 11 hour flight. She's not really a fan of long flights but this one is definitely worth it. For as long as Laura can remember she wanted to go to New Zealand. Two years after she started working at Silas Travel Magazine (STM) she finally got her chance. Here she is at Auckland Airport ready for a road trip through the country of the Mauri, Kiwi's and the planets most beautiful nature.

Stop dreaming and get your bag Hollis! You finally get to see the country that made you choose to go into travel journalism. She takes a deep breath and looks at the signposts to see where she has to go. She gets her bags and flows through customs in a heartbeat. Mostly thanks to her thorough research on what to bring, and more importantly what not to bring into New Zealand. Once Laura is through customs she instantly spot the sign Laura Hollis, STM. The Driver takes her luggage and drives her to the B&B she is staying for the next two nights. Laura can't sit still during the drive. I cannot believe I'm finally in New Zealand I finally get to witness the most beautiful place on planet earth myself, and I get paid to do so. Who would have thought that.

After checking in at the B&B she goes up to her double bed room and unloads her bag. Although she won't be staying long Laura likes to unpack every time she stays in a hotel, it makes her feel at home. Since she arrived around lunch in Auckland she has quite some time left before dinner. Deciding she can do with some fresh air she goes to the Auckland domain . A shower can only do so much in removing the stench of a long flight out of one's nose.

Laura is amazed by the oases that Auckland Domain is in the middle of the city. It's a shame that cars are allowed on the streets in and around the Domain. It takes her a little while to tune out what little traffic and city noise penetrates the park. After a while it's time for dinner. "I need to take photography lessons, or get the STM to pay for a photographer to travel with me. My pictures don't do justice to this place!" Laura sighs while putting away her camera.

She grabs a cab to one of the most in restaurants at the moment according to her research. And it just happens to be in the same neighborhood as her B&B. Taking a table at the window Laura enjoys watching all the people walking by, though the servers are tempting as well. Apparently this restaurant has rounded up all the gorgius gay man in the area. "A girl would almost turn straight here." Laura chuckles while eating dessert. When she is finished with a nice Italian meal she decides to loaf in the neighborhood, making sure not to miss any cute stores for her article. She is close to the B&B when she's almost run over by a wanderer that runs away with a huge suitcase. He came out of an alley and immediately Laura's curiosity gets the best of her. Careful she walks toward the alley pulling the straps on her backpack tighter in case she has to come in action fast.

When she looks around the corner the sight in front her slams the breath out of her lungs. She sees the most beautiful dark haired woman she has ever seen fight for breath while a guy twice her size is holding her up a several inches above the ground with one hand. In the meantime the other hand is working on the button of her leather pants.


Carmilla walks towards the conveyor belt to wait for her luggage. Hopefully she doesn't have to wait too long. Will becomes restless if it takes her too long to get to him. He doesn't like waiting. She spots her suitcase and pushes some people aside to get to it. Even though her flight arrived a little early she isn't taking her time until she's met Will. There is a little hold up at customs because they want to see what is on her memory cards. Apparently they are afraid she's smuggling porn or something. 'Why the frilly hell do I need to bring porn when I can get every girl I want?' She sighs and try not to look irritated, knowing that will only slow things down more.

Thank god for the early arrival of the plain. I can't imagine Will's mood if he had to wait for me to get through customs. She looks around and doesn't see Will. She checks her watch, the clock in the arrivals hall and asks three people. All this informs her that she is in fact 2 minutes early. Will can't have left yet so she decides to wait for him. After waiting for half an hour Carmilla calls him, but he doesn't answer his phone. Another half an hour later she starts to slowly panic. How am I going to get to the B&B? Will isn't here, the ATM isn't working and I probably don't have enough money on me for a taxi. She asks around and learns that a bus leaves for downtown Auckland in ten minutes. After another call to Will that goes to voicemail she decides to take the bus. Carmilla sits down next to a friendly looking huge gentleman. Although she doesn't like socializing much she asks him if he knows what stop her B&B is at.

"Ow I know that B&B, it's right around the corner of my house. You can get off at the same stop as me, al give you directions when we get off"

"Thank you, sir"

The guy who introduces himself as Walker starts a conversation with her. She turns him out but does occasionally nod and hum in order to not look rude. She really is not a fan of people or small talk and to be honest she stopped trying years ago.

Walker nudges her, this is their stop. She gets up and when she bends down to grab her suitcase Walker stops Carmilla. "That looks heavy and you are a small girl, let me help you with that."

"It isn't really heavy, I can carry it myself."

"I will not let you carry the suitcase, I'm a strong man and don't take no for an answer."

"Okay."

They get off the bus and Walker insists on walking her to the B&B. He walks towards an alley and had Carmilla not been preoccupied by Will's reaction to her tardiness she would have refused to go into the alley with the darkness setting in. So Carmilla just follows Walker. Halfway in the alley Walker makes a sudden move and throws her on the ground. Trying to catch her fall with her hand she can hear a bone snap. Walker throws her suitcase to a wanderer and tells him to leave quickly if he wants to live another day. In the meantime Carmilla try to get up cursing herself for being preoccupied which got her into this situation. Walker grabs her by her arm, pulls her up and throws her at the wall. Before Carmilla can fully register what is happening Walker's hand closes around her throat and he starts to choke her. While his other hand squeezes her breast he whispers in her ear. "It's time for you to pay me for my kindness. Don't fight me, that way it hurts less"

She tries to fight but Walker's grip on her throat gets tighter when he moves to hold her up in the air. The hand that was on her breast a few moments ago is making its way down to the button of her leather pants. Carmilla tries to fight him of, but she can't breath and is losing her strength. She looks to the end of the alley for help and right before she passes out she sees a beautiful angel.
