~Chapter One~
~Ashley~
"Andy, this is creepy! What the hell are we gonna do if we get stuck here", I said, looking out the window to see rain pounding down, lightning streaking across the sky.
"It's your house, Ash! I'm the one who has to worry about getting home tonight, which doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon. This storm is brutal." He sighed and picked up his phone, rolling his eyes when he saw he had no bars. "Of course."
"Just shut up, Andrew, I'm seriously creeped out."
"Why? It's just a thunderstorm." I shook my head. It felt like much more than a thunderstorm.
"I just have a really bad feeling." I sighed, stretching out my legs and trying to read the book sitting in my lap. I couldn't concentrate because I felt like I was being watched. Andy decided it'd be a good idea to play with his phone and possibly get electrocuted. "Dude, really?"
"What? I'm still bored, storm or not!"
I still felt like I was being watched, but I tried to shake it off and relax. Sleep seemed like a good idea, but I had no way of knowing it wasn't. I wish I had have stayed awake.

I couldn't help but smile as I scooped the sleeping mortal into my arms. He would make me stronger than I've ever been, and he didn't even know it! It was easy to get him away from his home and into mine. Now the only challenge was to get him to give up his blood willingly. That was the only way I could reach my full strength.
I laid him in my bed and left, down the long hallway and to my study. I'd have to explain the whole situation to him when he woke up, but that was the easy part. I needed to get him to trust me enough to give me his blood or the curse would kill him and I couldn't become to most powerful Incubus this century.
