Once Bitten
Mindy's up late reading when she hears a tapping at her window. She knows that it can't possibly be Josh because she told him that climbing up to her window would never work again; plus, jealous as he may be sometimes, he's been dating other girls. She gets up and pushes the curtain aside, eyes hardening when she sees Drake waiting outside her window, bracing himself on the trellis next to it. She opens her window. "What do you want?"
"Can I come in?"
She lifts an eyebrow, offering no warmth, "Why would I let you in?"
"Because I asked nicely. Come on."
"What are you doing here?"
"Just let me in!" He's hungry and he's growing impatient. There are times when he can barely stand to look at Mindy but, right now, he can hardly contain his desire to feed from her; it's almost like he's craving her. He tries a different tactic. "I need to talk to you about Josh."
There's a flash of something in her eyes—hope, maybe? "What about Josh?"
"This is getting really uncomfortable, Mindy; I can't have a conversation with you if you're just going to leave me hanging outside like this."
She rolls her eyes, "Fine. You can come in. But don't get any ideas. And stay off of my bed. You know what—just say whatever it is you have to say and get out."
Drake's hoisting himself through the window, "Don't flatter yourself, Creature, I would never have any ideas about you in my worst nightmares." He's deflecting because he wants nothing more than to take her completely by surprise.
He can hear her heart beating and he can smell her innocence. She smells delectable. He's salivating in anticipation of how good her blood will taste and he can feel his canines sharpening as they elongate. He's not going to rip her throat out, he's not even sure that he's going to drain her; he's definitely not going to turn her, but he may just keep her around to have something to snack on, to play with. Suddenly the thought of playing with his food has never been more appealing, so appetizing.
"Well?" she asks, her tone demanding.
He's really going to enjoy sucking that bitchy 'I'm better than you' attitude out of her. "Well what?"
Mindy rolls her eyes and folds her arms across her chest. "What did you want to tell me about Josh?"
"Oh, nothing, I just said that for the invite," he says casually, turning his back to her and grinning. He turns back around, "I couldn't have come in otherwise."
She glares at him, her nostrils flaring, and points to the window, "Well, now you can get out. Right now."
"Actually, I was planning on grabbing a quick bite to eat before I leave. You don't mind, do you?" He shrugs, "Not that it matters if you do."
He's leering at her and never before has Mindy felt frightened in the sanctuary that was her bedroom. She lowers her arms and tries to hide just how scared she is. "Stop it, Drake, you're creeping me out and I really don't appreciate you coming over here and doing whatever it is you're doing just for kicks. I don't think that you want to wake my parents because they will call the police and have you arrested. So, if you would please leave."
He takes a long stride so that he's standing directly in front of her, staring down at her, clearly enjoying her discomfort. Oh, playing with his food has never been so much fun. "Like I said, after I eat," he says with a low hiss, baring his fangs.
Drake gives Mindy just enough time to gasp, eyes widening, as she focuses on his fangs before he grabs her arms in his hands, keeping her from escaping, as he lurches forward and sinks his fangs into the tender flesh of her neck with a growl.
She inhales sharply, and her scream dies silently in the back her throat and she's too stunned to struggle. The initial sting of his fangs piercing through her skin and the muscle beneath passes as quickly as it began. After several seconds, Mindy feels herself relaxing, a strange euphoric sensation flowing through her entire body; her eyelids flutter shut. It's a pleasured sigh that escapes her lips when Drake retracts his fangs, not really sucking, simply letting her blood rush into his mouth. It doesn't take long for him to become sated for the time being and his tongue laps at the blood until it stops flowing from the bite wound.
Mindy slowly opens her eyes; she's suddenly incredibly drowsy and weak. Drake licks her blood off of his lips as he supports her weight and gently lowers her onto her bed.
He wipes a few drops of her blood from his chin with his thumb and sticks it in his mouth, sucking the blood off. He grins at her, his teeth now back to normal. "I'll see you for breakfast."
