It was late and Brenda found herself in a small wooded area. She was wearing a blue dress and her hair was done up perfectly. There was a full moon out so the light made everything easier to see. She started walking in one direction where the path had been cleared.

How did I end up in these woods? She wondered.

She continued on for a while. She thought she heard a laugh but dismissed it as a tree branch or something. After about ten minutes wandering around the forest Brenda started to feel she was getting lost. Suddenly she heard another laugh and then another. The sound was close. She looked to her right where a large tree stood. A tall figure stepped out of the shadows. As he came closer, Brenda noticed that he had wavy brown hair. He had a handsome clean shaven face. He wore a black shirt and slacks. His brown eyes lit up with laughter as he came to stand in front of her.

"Who are you and why are you laughing?" she asked him.

"Pardon me miss, my name is Robert and I was laughing at your facial expression. You look so lost," he answered.

"Well I am lost," Brenda told him. As she looked closer she noticed Robert was actually quite handsome.

"And what is your name?" he asked her.

"Brenda."

"What a lovely name for such a beautiful lady," he said kissing her hand.

Brenda smiled at the gesture.

"If it would please you Brenda I would like to escort you out of these woods," Robert said.

Brenda didn't normally go with strangers but there was something about him that caused her to think he was different. "I would like that."

"Well then shall we?" he asked offering her his arm.

Brenda took his arm as they started walking.

"How do you know these woods?" she asked.

"I grew up nearby," he answered.

"In Baltimore?" she then asked.

"Yes."

"Then why haven't I seen you at school? You look like a year or two older than me," Brenda said.

"My mom taught me," he replied.

Brenda nodded. They continued to walk until they exited the woods and came upon an elegant building.

"I have to go to a party here; would you care to join me?" Robert asked.

He had been so nice so Brenda smiled at him. "I would love to."

He led her inside. Once they past through the doors Brenda found that her blue dress grew longer so that it was a fancy evening dress.

"How did that happen?" she inquired about the dress.

"Magic," Robert replied grinning.

Brenda smiled at his charming demeanor. Robert then led her to the ballroom. As the doors opened Brenda saw a huge room filled with nicely dressed men and women wearing gorgeous gowns. The men all seemed to wear black. Their faces all seemed rather pale to her. She looked up at Robert and noticed that his face was pale as well. Some of the guests were drinking thick red liquid that resembled wine. Some of the women wore vials around their necks. Robert took Brenda out to the dance floor as "Superstition" started playing. He took her right hand in his left as his other hand snaked round her waist. Brenda put her left hand on his shoulder as they started swaying back and forth with the music. Brenda felt as if she was swept off of her feet. While they were still dancing a blonde haired guy who was a little shorter than Robert came up to them. Brenda was nervous because he kept staring at her neck. Robert noticed her and the other guy. He stopped dancing followed by Brenda.

"Paul back away," he told him.

But Paul stayed put eying Brenda's neck.

"Paul!" Robert shouted.

"But I'm hungry," Paul said.

Paul opened his mouth and Brenda saw fangs. She screamed as she held onto Robert.

"Not her!" Robert exclaimed. He then hissed at Paul.

Brenda saw that Robert had fangs as well. She screamed again before running out of the ballroom.

"Wait! Brenda!" Robert yelled as he caught up to her with amazing speed.

"What are you!?" Brenda bellowed.

"I am a vampire," Robert replied plainly.

"And the rest of your friends, are they vampires?" she asked.

"Yes."

Brenda ran out of the building and somehow found her way back to her house. She sat in her bed with her knees under her chin. The next night she found herself looking at the moon pondering the previous night. She heard twigs snap and looked down at her backyard. Robert was standing there gazing up at her window. He wore the same black shirt and slacks. As Brenda found his eyes she felt a strange power come over her, like he was willing her to him. She tried to look away but couldn't. She felt her body take over as she put her bathrobe on and quietly walked downstairs and outside. Brenda's pulse began to quicken as she stepped closer to Robert. She tried to turn around but found that she couldn't.

"Good evening Brenda," Robert said smiling.

"What just happened to me? It was like I lost control of my own body," Brenda asked.

"Maybe your body was just acting on your inner desire," Robert answered as he kissed her hand.

"Or maybe you're using some vampire voodoo on me," Brenda said.

"I'm not using any voodoo on you," he replied looking into her eyes.

His stare made her knees buckle and she believed him.

"Are you going to bite me?" Brenda asked her voice wavering as she gained some self control.

"No," he answered.

Brenda sighed with relief but she was still nervous to be around a vampire.

"So how long have you been a vampire?" she asked trying to rid herself of her nervousness.

"About ninety years. I was nineteen when I was turned," he answered.

"My mom was a school teacher and she taught me and my sister," he added.

"Do you miss them?" she then asked.

"Yes, especially around the fall. It was their favorite time of year," he replied.

As the nights went by Brenda had more late night rendezvous' with Robert. She learned that he had to be invited into a person's home and that a stake could kill him. One night when her parents were out she invited him in. Robert leaned in and kissed her as the door closed.

"I'll be right back, I need to fix my makeup," Brenda told him.

He nodded as she walked upstairs to her room. She sat at her vanity and started reapplying her lipstick. Robert appeared in the mirror startling her a bit.

"I thought you were downstairs. I also thought that you couldn't see a vampire's reflection," she said.

"That's a common misconception, and I missed you" he told her.

He kissed her cheek then her neck. Brenda closed her eyes as she savored the tickling sensation his lips produced. When she opened them she saw that Robert had his fangs out and she tried to scream.

Brenda sat up and looked around finding herself in her bed. Sweat glistened on her cheeks and forehead as she breathed heavily with fright. Soon her breathing slowed to its usual rhythm. The moonlight filtered through her window and she felt a soft breeze. Brenda turned on her bedside lamp as she stood up and walked over to her window. It was slightly ajar so she closed it, making sure it was properly locked. She then walked to her vanity table and inspected her neck in the mirror. She didn't see any puncture marks.

It must have been a dream she thought.

She went to the bathroom and splashed some cold water on her face. She looked again in the bathroom mirror for any marks but she found none. She then walked back to her room and sat on her bed. Her teddy bear was lying next to her. She picked him up and hugged him.

"Wow that was a really strange dream Teddy," she said to her bear. He just stared back at her.

As Brenda went to turn off her light she noticed a book lying open on her bedside table. She picked it up and looked at the cover. She then closed it and placed it back on her table.

"That's the last time I read Bram Stoker's Dracula before bed," she said to her bear and the empty room.
