He was running so fast, I felt like I was going to throw up. It didn't help that I was deathly afraid around vampires in the first place. I actually felt like I might die just from the fear. It hurt to try but I finally managed to get words to come out of my mouth, "Where are you taking me?!" I cried out.
"Shut up!" I heard him say. "You will love it, whether or not you choose to admit it to yourself."
Then before I could say anything more, I felt a sudden pressure against my head followed by a sharp pain and everything went dark.
When I woke up I was alone. My head was throbbing and I felt dizzy. I tried to think. Tried to remember. What happened? Where was I? Slowly the images came into view and I was able to see what was around me. When I finally did see my surroundings, I shot up to a sitting position, looking around at the large room filled with furnishings like a large wardrobe, a big couch, a large make-up mirror with make-up all over it, and a bed. A large queen sized bed with big fluffy pillows and and soft warm blankets. I got out of the bed and started looking around for some clue as to where I was. I walked into the bathroom and found the only window there seemed to be. There were no windows in the other room. This one wasn't much help though, it was high and had steel bars on it. I turned around to go back to the other room and almost tripped over someone standing there. That was strange, I hadn't even heard anyone come in. After another look I froze when I saw the chalky white skin and red eyes. With that, all the memories came flooding back. The girl, the alley, the attack. I had been taken by a strigoi.
"So happy to see you are awake." he said with an eerie voice. "You really aren't as fun when you're asleep."
I took a step back as he stepped closer. "F...fun? What are you talking about..?" My voice was shaking. I was so scared.
"You are so beautiful," I let out a gasp of fear as he reached out and brushed his fingers against my cheek. "I'm so glad to have you to myself."
In a flash, he had me pressed against the wall as he put his lips to mine and kissed me with a strong and hungry passion. I tried to pull away but he was too strong and held me too tightly. He started to move away from my lips and pressed his lips against my neck. Tears formed in my eyes as I thought of how wrong this was. He kept kissing my neck and surprisingly never let his fangs touch my throat. He pulled away and took my hand leading me to the room. I went with him because really, what else could I do? I'm not strong enough to fight him off and he could kill me in a second. He sat me down in the bed and ran a finger over my throat. I winced in pain before noticing that there were marks on my throat. He'd bitten me while I was asleep. I started to cry and reached out and he wiped away my tears with his cold finger.
"What's the matter?" he asked with a haunting voice.
"Why am I here? What do you want from me?" I cried.
"Don't you realize how beautiful you are? Being a strigoi can get pretty lonely. I need someone to love, someone to share eternal life with."
My eyes widened as I realized what he was saying. I tried to run for the door but of course that was useless. He grabbed me before I could even get a couple steps away. He pulled me to him and looked into my eyes. "Please, don't try to run. I want you to give me a chance. I won't awaken you yet, I will give you time to get used to the idea first. I want you to be happy with me. Now tell me, what is your name?"
I tried to resist the compulsion, this was way wrong. I did not want to become like them and I did not want to tell them anything but strigoi compulsion was just to strong, much stronger than moroi compulsion. I gave in, "My name is Sydney Sage."
He smiled, "Sydney, what a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl." He then leaned in again kissing me on my neck. I shivered in fear making him laugh. Then all of a sudden he bit into my throat. I let out a cry of pain which quickly softened to a moan as the endorphins took effect. As much as I hated vampires, strigoi bites were just to strong and I couldn't help but enjoy the high it gave me. After about a minute he pulled away licking his lips and the horrible thoughts and disgust crashed down upon me. "Well I admit you are an acquired taste but I feel you are worth it. I believe we will be very happy together." Then he leaned in and bit me again and I fell back into the bliss of the bite, losing awareness of everything around me.
Please Review :) Let me know what you think.
