"Darkness Absolute"
By: Von Stupor
Chapter 1
Long ago, there lived a mythical race of creatures that dwelled of the night. No one knows of their origin, only of their bloodthirsty nature. Feared and regarded as beasts of the devil himself, they were ruthlessly hunted and slaughtered by the mass. Traces of survivors are scarce and vague, and to this day, they are only thought to exist in fairy tales…
A young man leans back in his chair. He stares intently intently at the beautiful young girl in front of him, sitting at the table's opposite end. The man is in his early twenties, and looks even younger. His piercing light blue eyes stared straight into the girl's, capturing her very soul.
The girl simply stared back, in a stupor. She found herself incapable of movement whatsoever. She had become so entranced in his eyes that she heard nothing and thought nothing. All she could feel within her very being was passion, lust.
"Well, I believe we're about done here, are we?" said the man coolly.
"Yes, we can leave if you're ready," she replied, staring back at him.
The man set his wine glass on the table and called the waiter as he came by, asking for the check. The girl took one last sip of her tea and wiped her face clean with her handkerchief.
"Don't worry about the food," suggested the man to his date. "I'll take care of everything."
"Yes… thank you," the girl said in reply, without hesitation.
As the two left the restaurant, they noticed the streets were rather empty.
"We stayed a bit late, didn't me?" asked the man, the girl nodding. "Well, I suppose I should walk you home, considering the time. Would you mind?"
"Oh, no, not at all…"
The two enjoyed a peaceful walk home. The man, about six feet tall, was a bit muscular for his size. He had rather fair skin, a bit pale, and short, flowing silver hair that hung partway down the sides of his face, just outside his eyes. He had brilliant, light blue eyes, rather thin, and a very smooth smile.
The girl with him had a slightly round face, just enough to keep it interesting. She had large blue eyes and a dainty nose, with brown, shoulder-length hair, tiny bangs decorating her hairline.
As they approached her house, they stopped on her doorstep.
"I really enjoyed our time tonight, Dolimus…" said the girl, flustered.
"I know you did," he said, pulling her chin up so that she could look directly into his eyes. "You looked very lovely tonight, I hope you know that."
"Uh… ah…" she uttered, becoming lost in his eyes once more.
"You don't have to say a word… I know you'll remember this night for the rest of your life…"
He then bent down and gave her a soft peck on the lips. She placed her hands on his hips as he embraced her. They kissed for a few moments until Dolimus began to work his way down her cheek and began pecking lightly at her neck. She stood, eyes closed, warmth glowing inside her body when suddenly, he bit her neck.
