Haunted
A Criminal Minds Fanfiction
Prologue
The jazz club was winding down for the night. It had been a good haul especially for the club's headliner, Leah.
"She sang like an angel tonight," he thought as he watched her and her co workers lock up the club as he sat in his car. "Of course, she sings like angel every night."
He loved the way she sang, how she swayed to the music and closed her eyes soulfully. He often wondered if she just did all of that for show and more tips in the small glass jar that was placed on the piano or if she really appreciated the pieces of art she sung Monday through Wednesday from 7 pm until around midnight and then again on Saturday from 8 pm until well into the early morning hours.
"Of course, she appreciates them. Why else would she look so radiant and sensual when she sang them?" he thought.
He loved to watch the amber stage lights dance in her hair and they way the color made her naturally red hair shine like copper.
"Just the kind of girl that will one day become my vampire bride."
A slow grin spread across his face as he began to imagine the things he would do to get her to her full immortal glory; but it quickly disappeared as he heard a sharp voice from the back of his SUV.
"Not yet!" the voice hissed. "Only when I say you are ready!"
"Yes, master," he stuttered and looked down at his hands. As a lowly servant, he was at the mercy of his creator, Cain. Cain who made him what he was today: Powerful, In control, Dominant. No longer was he the submissive young man he once was. Cain had changed him and molded him into this perfect being, one who cannot die and capable of giving that gift to others. Once he was ready of course.
"You still need more practice!" chastised Cain. "You mustn't fail this time."
James kept his eyes downcast and nodded.
"Look, there is suitable practice doll," Cain snickered. James looked up as a petite brunette crossed in front of his SUV. Not his usual type but she would suit the purpose for now.
After all, she was only practice.
