Chapter 2 Larten's House
I followed Larten cautiously across the high street and down a lane until we came to a small block of flats. Larten opened the door to his flat and we both went inside. A fire was blazing so I sat in the arm chair next to it to get my hands warm.
"I do not have much in the way of food or ladies clothing but I do have a fold out camping bed which you can sleep on" Larten called to me from the kitchen.
"It is better than a paving slab or an alley way so I am grateful to you" I replied.
"Would you like a drink Anna? I have some vintage port or champagne if you prefer it" Larten asked me.
"Champagne please, port is a bit strong for me as I do not really drink much alcohol" I said.
"Here you go, I think this is Dom Perignon, rather expensive I believe but it was a gift." Larten said as he handed me a champagne flute that was filled to the top. I took a sip of the honey coloured drink and it was like a taste explosion in my mouth, it was that good.
"That is good champagne it is sweet and not too dry on the palette." I said then I continued to say;
"It is kind of you to let me stay here rent free but you must have a price because it is not fair if I am a sponge, you should not have to support me"
"You are correct, I do have a price but it is not money that I am after" Larten said as he smiled suggestively.
"Well what do you want then? Drugs, sex or even cigarettes" I asked nervously.
"Drugs are not my thing, cigarettes have no purpose to me as a non smoker but sex is an interesting one" Larten said as he looked me up and down.
"So you want me to sleep with you so that I can stay here do you? That is just so typical. Men always think with their bottoms and not with their brains" I replied sounding offended.
"Sorry I offended you. I do not want sex if you will not consent to it. I am not like that. I would like you to become my assistant and travel the world with me" Larten said.
"Ok that sounds a bit better. I would enjoy that. What do I have to do?" I asked.
"Well firstly you must know something about me and if you decide to leave after I tell you then so be it. I am a vampire Anna. I am fully blooded male vampire" Larten told me.
"Cool. That is awesome Larten. I want to be a vampire; I have always wished to be one" I said excitedly.
"So you would not mind if I blooded you right here right now?" Larten asked.
"Not in the slightest. I know how it is done because I read about it in a gothic magazine. There was an article about vampires in there" I said as I held up my now warm hands to reveal my tiny fingertips.
"Are you sure about this? If I begin there can be no going back. Do you understand?" Larten asked me sternly.
"Yes I understand, now test my blood already" I replied.
Larten pricked one of my fingers with his nail and he sucked it.
"Your blood is fine and pure, this will work" Larten said as he opened up his own fingers before he did the same to mine.
We joined our fingertips and I could feel Larten's blood flowing into me. I held still until it was complete. Sure enough I now had ten tiny scars on my fingertips that matched Larten's. I felt instantly different.
"How do you feel Anna?" Larten asked me.
"I feel strange, different somehow and looking at you now I feel a connection" I said.
"Come here and join me my assistant" Larten said to me. I got off of the chair and I sat next to Larten. I looked into his deep blue eyes and I felt strange. I wanted him to touch me and to put his arm around me.
"I finished my champagne and we sat there. We were silent for a while until I said in a strange, alluring voice;
"Do you want to sleep with me now Larten?"
"If that is what you wish me to do as it will bring us closer together and the bond between a vampire and his assistant is vital" Larten said.
"Very well, where do you want me?" I asked seductively as I stripped off.
"I want you here. This will be fun trust me. At the end you will be begging me for more I swear it" Larten boasted.
"Ok then Larten let's see what you can do to make me scream out loud" I said.
Larten did not reply. He leapt up and he pounced on me like an animal. I was knocked to the floor with him on top of me naked as the day we were born.
