After wandering in the dark for who knows how long I came across a sign. As I moved closer to it I could barely make out the writing. My pale blue eyes narrowing, I fought to read it.
"Niflheim. Where the hell is that?" I muttered, looking around the area. The full moon hovering above me gave no answer and I sighed, deciding to search for someone to ask. I hadn't gotten far when I saw a graveyard a short distance away, maybe a few feet. But as I approached it I thought I heard the sound of boots and I paused, scanning the area. Seeing nothing unusual I shrugged and continued on until I reached the graveyard only to jump back as someone stepped out from the mist.
"Can I help you?" A voice asked and I quickly nodded, staring as a young man appeared before me.
"Yes I'm kind of lost. Can you tell me where I am?" I asked and he smiled, making me take a single step back. It was a cold, almost caluclating smile as he stepped forward.
"You're a long way from home, aren't you?" He asked, his voice barely a whisper and I frowned. "A very long way." He added and in the blink of an eye he vanished into the mist, leaving me alone. Or so I thought until something grabbed my shoulder and I spun around only to feel a cold breath in my ear. "I will take you home." It whispered, a pair of purple eyes glowing.
All at once my body felt like it was freezing and as I collapsed I felt a pair of ice cold hands catching me. I passed out to the sound of someone laughing.
"So sleeping beauty decides to wake at last." Someone chuckled as I stirred awake, opening my eyes to see the same man from earlier kneeling over me. In a heartbeat I tried to push him away only to see his purple eyes peering into mine, one of his eyebrows raised. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Now lie still." He growled this time and I found myself lying on my back before I could stop myself. "Very obediant." He grinned and that's right when I saw a set of unnaturally sharp canines extend.
"What are you?" I whispered, struggling to move and he smiled. His teeth seemed to extend as he leaned down and I managed a weak gasp just before he leant in close. To my surprise his teeth grazed my neck and when I whimpered he just laughed.
"Still able to fight? Interesting...this might actually be fun." He joked only to blink and lean back, one hand resting next to my left leg. "It's been so long since my prey fought back I'd forgotten what it feels like." He added and that's when I kicked him in the leg. Or at least I tried to only to have his hand grip my leg, pinning me with a strength that shocked me. My eyes went wide in fear as he chuckled.
"Are you a...?" I never managed to finish when he leant over me, his body covering my own just before he cupped my chin and turned my head to one side. "N...no." I gasped but he just ignored me and I cried out as his teeth pierced my neck. A small trickle of warm blood flowed down my neck and I whimpered, cries ignored as he licked my neck.
"The ruler of Nifheilm, the realm of the dead." He answered, sitting up and as I watched he licked a drop of my blood from his fingernails. "I am Rezzard."
"Y..you bit me." I gasped and he smiled, teeth red before he leant in close again. This time I managed to shove my knee against his chest and he blinked, momentarily taken by surprise. Then his cold smile returned and I growled as he leant in again. "Why did you do that?"
"I'm a vampire of course. Why else?" Rezzard whispered as he slipped the shoulder of my shirt down. Without even looking at me he leant in and I cried out, pain spiking as he bit into my shoulder this time.
"It hurts." I whimpered and he raised his head, locking eyes with me. His eyes glowed a deep purple and I found myself unable to move or even care when he started to drink my blood again. Pretty soon my eyes drifted closed and I slumped onto the bed, his cold laughter the last thing I heard as I passed out.
