Chapter 1
Charmed to Death

Taking a look back Audrey sent her master a sensual smile. Holding his hand, she lead him towards the forest, faraway from his mansion, a mansion every Vampire Lord lived in. As they inched closer, and closer towards the forest, a smile started to form on her lips. With every inch gained toward the forest her heart began to beat faster, and faster. Soon, all her hard work would pay off, and she could finally be free of the vampire. The thought alone made her want to jump with joy.

This current master like all the others was a fool. She laughed inside, thinking of how each and everyone of them had believed they'd had total control over her. If only they knew. Well, actually in the end they always found out. This one, called Marleen, was about to find out the truth, that beneath Audrey's charming appearance, and perfect obedience, there was something dark, and dangerous. Audrey giggled, knowing how much it pleased her current master.

" Your heart beats fast slave. " he spoke with arrogance believing he was the cause.

" Oh, yes master." Audrey said, " Being with you makes me very excited." she easy lied as she'd done so many times before. Rolling her eyes, she continued towards the forest.

Suddenly her master, slowed his pace, and stopped ten feet away from the forest. Audrey turned around, to see he had that look on his face. The one that told her he was... thirsty. Shit, not now! Not when I was so close.

" I'm thirsty, slave. I think I'll have you here." he approached her, wrapped his hand around her upper arm, and pulled her towards him.

Audrey giggled, " Master, here?" she whined. His hands began to roam over her body, and she could feel his breath on her neck as he began to kiss, and tease her. Being the wonderful actress she was she blushed, and let out small moan of pleasure.

" Yes, here." he demanded.

Audrey almost let the word " no", slip out of her mouth, but caught herself just in time. The last thing she need was to make him upset, and for him to think she had just disobeyed him. Of course she was not about to do as he commanded either. Like she'd done so many times before she began to take control of the situation without him even noticing.

" But, master." she whispered in his ear, caressing his thigh with her hand slowly inching her way up towards his manhood. " I fantasy about you taking me on the forest floor, and against a tree, and so much more." she told him, a wicked smile on her face. Her light brown eyes, shining with desire. Inside she was dieing of laughter. I fantasy about you.. I cracked myself up.

She felt him stiffen, and knew she had him wrapped around her finger. It was almost disappointing to her that it was that easy. A challenge would have been interesting.

The vampire kissed her once on her mouth, before quickly pulling her towards the forests, " Come." he commanded. Audrey followed him now, as he rushed her towards the forest. Her eyes, roamed around the trees, and the shadows searching for him. He was always somewhere in the forest quietly hiding, waiting like the true predator he was.

Donovan, the one who had always been there for her, and had taken care of her; he would be hiding in the forest waiting. Audrey took a quick glance behind her, and made sure no one was following them. Finding no one was, she bit her bottom lip, a habit of hers whenever she was anxious. However, being the professional she was, and knowing what was about to happen, she calmed herself. Four feet away now, three, two, one.

Immediately, once in the confides of the forest, Audrey was thrown to the ground. On top of was her master. Looking up into the eyes of the vampire, her master, her entire body shook as it always did whenever she was in this position. Not out of uncontrollable desire, but out of hatred, and disgust. Long ago, during the first days, when she was new to this she also shook with fear, but now she hardly ever felt fear. She was strong, and most importantly cunning. She had nothing to worry about. Whatever the situation she could take care of herself.

The vampire's head fell down on to her neck, and bit down, tearing Audrey's skin, and sending shocks of pain down her body. Hurry up, god hurry up! Many times she had repeated this statement. Specifically during the occasions when she was forced to feed her current master. She'd bit her bottom lip to hold in the scream that always threatened to escape. Her toes would curl up, and her hands would dig into the sheets of the bed she usually found herself laying on each time her current master feed from her. However, during this moment she was referring to Donovan. She was praying he'd hurry up, and save her from the vampire.

Then without warning, there came a sound from above her. It was the leaves, the breeze had caused them to flutter, but Audrey, wickedly smiling, knew it was not just the wind. The vampire too intoxicated at the moment was oblivious to the noise, and before he could even withdraw his fangs from Audrey's flesh, a foot on his back caused him to yelp in surprise. Audrey, lay motionless underneath the vampire. She watched Donovan, who was standing above the vampire, as he swung the machete in his hand like someone would swing a golf club, and next thing she knew the vampire's head went flying twenty feet away. It was a perfect clean cut straight through. Killing the vampire instantly.

Audrey managed to close her eyes just in time so that the blood would not land in her eyes. Unfortunately, the blood splattered on most of her face, and then a lot of the blood dripped onto her chest as the headless corpse rested on top of her.

" Get it off Donovan," Audrey yelled. " Get it the fuck off of me!"

Donovan chuckled, as he kicked the corpse off of Audrey. Audrey wiped off the blood around her eyes with her hands, before turning onto her side and throwing up. Donovan walk behind her, kneeled, and held her hair for her. Finally, after a couple of minutes Audrey finished vomiting, and was left with the foul taste in her mouth. " That was gross." Donovan said to her, releasing her hair, and standing. Audrey wasn't sure whether he meant her throwing up, or him chopping off the vampire's head, but coming from Donovan he probably meant her throwing up.

Standing up with help from Donovan, Audrey ripped off part of her shirt, and wiped all the blood she could manage with the piece of cloth off her face. She dared a glance towards the headless corpse, and instantly started to gag. Donovan gently hit her upside the head. " Don't look at it stupid." Audrey sent him a dirty look.

" Sorry, automatic reaction." Donovan stated holding his hands up in surrender and looking frightened. Now smiling, he made his way towards Audrey, and wrapped his arms around her waist. " You did good, love. He never had a chance, not with you." he whispered in her ear before aggressively kissing her on the lips.

Audrey kneed him in the groin, and pushed him away. Not in the mood to be kissed, since she was covered in blood, and had just had a headless corpse laying on top of her. Donovan stumbled back, but held on to his balance. Cringing in pain from Audrey's attack, he barely heard her as she said. " Sorry, automatic reaction."

" You bitch." Donovan hissed. Audrey hardly felt the word was offensive. She knew she was a bitch, many times she had called herself a bitch. So the word had absolutely no affect on her. However, for her personal amusement she acted as if it had affected her to see Donovan's reaction. Her eyes became watery, and her bottom lip began to quiver. In less than a minute she appeared distressed. Her shoulders hung low, as if the weight of the world was on her shoulders.

" Oh, Donovan I'm sorry. It's just I've never been able to..." she turned to glance at the corpse behind her, " adjust to this." She allowed a tear to slip down her cheek before turning away from Donovan, giving him her back, and smiling. In her head she counted, one, two, three, then stopped as she heard him start to walk towards her. She immediately dropped her smile, and continued her act. So easy.

" Audrey." Donovan spoke, now behind her. Caressing her soft brown her he placed his chin on her shoulder. " Don't fuck with me. I know you, and I know those precious tears of yours are fake. Plus murder comes natural to you. "

Audrey instantly walked away from Donovan's touch with a huff. Jerk. " Look can we just get the hell out of here. The guards will be searching soon." she reminded Donovan, now back to her true self.

Donovan sighed as he walked towards the corpse, he grabbed a jar from his jacket, and twisted the lid off. Kneeling down next to the corpse, he placed the neck of the body directly over the jar, and patiently waited as the blood dripping from the corpse filled the jar. Once it was filled he pushed the body aside, placed the lid on the jar, and put the jar back in his jacket.

Looking at Donovan as he made his way towards her again, Audrey held her hand out towards him. Once close enough Donovan wrapped his hand over hers. Audrey took in a deep breath, and closed her eyes prepared to trace away from the crime scene. The first time Donovan had trace with her she had vomited, and not just on the floor, on Donovan too. He almost faint from anger.

Upon opening her eyes Audrey found herself in a dingy hotel room. The walls were all covered with a horrible wallpaper design of flowers. The carpet was brown, but originally it had been white. There was a buzzing sound, which assured Audrey there was a fly somewhere in the room. Lastly, there was only one bed, and that alone made Audrey want to throw a fit.

Audrey was tired of telling Donovan to get a hotel room with two beds. She hated sleeping with Donovan because first, he took up the whole bed, and second she always woke up sore when they had to share beds, and not because Donovan took up the whole bed.

Donovan collapsed on the bed, and stretched out his arms. " Audrey dear, come to me. I've missed you."

Audrey ignored his comment, and started to strip off her clothes. Starting with her shoes, and working her way up. Donovan sat up on his elbows.

" Want to get right into it I see. " He spoke with a grin on his face, " Fine with me." Sitting up he tugged off his shirt, and threw it to the ground.

Audrey also in the process of taking off her shirt, threw it towards Donovan as soon as she had it off. " I'm going to take a shower you moron. If you haven't noticed I'm drenched in blood."

" Well, let me lick you clean." he said grabbing on to her hand, and pulling her on top of him. " I won't miss a spot."

Audrey sighed, Donovan had two sides to him, the playful pervert side, and the serious sadistic side. She'd take the playful pervert side of him any day, but today she just wanted to shower. Too clean away the last three weeks. Three weeks spent acting like an obedient slave to a vampire named Marleen, who compared to her previous masters was good to her, but like she always said a good vampire is a dead one.

" I want to take a shower. " Audrey repeated. " In the meantime you should chug down that jar of blood."

Donovan pushed Audrey off him, " Fine go take your shower. I'll play with you later."

Rolling her eyes Audrey got off the bed, and went to the bathroom. Taking off her last items of clothing, which were her bra and panties she hopped into the shower, and turned on the water. The blood that stained her skin soon started to wash off, and down the drain. She grabbed the complementary soap, and began to scrub her entire body.

Thirty minutes into the shower she sat down in the middle of the tub, and placed her head on her knees. For the first time in three weeks she was relaxed. She didn't have to act anymore, nor did she have to allow the vampire, Marleen to caress her with his grimy hands. She didn't have to endure his kisses, or the pain of having his fangs dig into her as he feed off her blood.

God how she hated that, how she hated vampires. The only vampire she'd ever loved was Donovan, and she didn't even completely love him. Part of her hated him. But she needed him, no one else would take care of her. Both her parents had long ago died in the hands of vampires, and she'd only ever had Donovan to take care of her, to teach her how to lie, and cheat her way through life. Because of that she loved him.

The part that hated him, hated him because of his dark side. The sadistic side he couldn't control. Maybe if it weren't for that things could have been different between them. Maybe...

" Finish up love, you'll waste all the warm water." Donovan yelled from the room.

Audrey fluttered her eyes, startled from her relaxed state. Can't I have a moments rest. Standing up she turned off the water, and wrapped a towel around herself. She walked out of the bathroom to find Donovan as he'd been before, on the bed laying down. He turned his head to look over at her, smiling. He had that shine in his eyes that said he was up to no good.

Audrey could sense that he'd followed her instructions, and had drank Marleen's blood, because he was stronger now, his new energy vibrated in the air.

" Your getting stronger." Audrey stated. " How many until you'll finally be strong enough to set our plan in action?"

Donovan walked over towards Audrey slowly, his eyes becoming dark. " Oh, I don't know. A couple more, I already have our next victim planned out. " he said merrily.

Audrey rose her eyebrow, usually he didn't pick the next vampire until a couple of days had passed by. Tommorrow they'd be gone from here like always on the run. They'd settle down somewhere for a few days until the news about a murdered vampire was forgotten. Then they'd move on to the next region, and seek out the strongest vampire there to kill.

" For now though, we'll have some long needed fun." Donovan said, picking up Audrey and dropping her on the bed. Audrey landed on the bed and bounced twice before Donovan was on top of her. Her towel already tossed on the ground. His hand caressed up and down her thigh making its way near her sex. Audrey frowned, as she started to tremble with anticipation. Another important reason she hated Donovan was because he could make her want him. She'd never wanted anyone else, desired anyone else, but he was different.

He stared down into her eyes. " You do want to have some fun don't you." he spoke more as a statement than question.

Audrey bit her bottom lip. She couldn't focus, couldn't utter words. His fingers were slowly dipping into her core, and her hips surprisingly were rocking forth to greet them. Finally she yanked his head down with her hands and kissed him.

Flipping on top of Donovan she spoke, " Fine, but this doesn't mean anything."

So, should I keep writing?
And if yes, should Donovan be spelled Donovon, Donoven or the way I have it?
