She left the bar quickly and tried not to look back. This guy was kind of weird. Being chatted up by some man was definitely not part of her plan for the evening. The sun had already set and she hoped that Marcel's vampires had other plans that night than to roam the streets. Otherwise she would have to be careful and she just wanted to enjoy the night.

She was about to step into an alleyway where a noise could be heard behind her. It took a few seconds, but then she was able to arrange it with the super speed of the vampires. She swallowed easily, but then just went on and tried not to let anything show.

Her heart started beating faster anyway and she accelerated her pace slightly. Marcel's entourage wouldn't be able to hurt her - after all she was under Marcel's protection - but she still wasn't out to hit one of them.

When she had almost left the alleyway behind and saw the next main street, she suddenly felt a cold breeze behind her and the soft sound was heard again. She didn't have to turn around to know that it had to be one of them who had positioned himself behind her.

But before she could run, a cold hand lay on her shoulder, preventing her from escaping. Her heart beat firmly against her chest and she hoped the vampire would not hear.

The hand on her shoulder was ice-cold and chased a cold shiver down her spine.

"You seemed to be in a real hurry right now," a voice rang out behind her that she could immediately assign. She swallowed heavily and lowered her gaze hoping to gain enough concentration to use her powers.

"Don't you want to look at me", she knew how deceptive the friendly tone of the man must be, but still turned around. Perhaps then he would spare her. So she slowly turned around and looked into his eyes, which had taken on a wild expression.

"What do you want? asked the witch and tried not to avoid his gaze, not to show any weakness. His grip did not loosen and she already felt bruises forming.

"What probably every vampire wants," a smug grin appeared on his lips. Before she could answer, he pushed her hair aside to catch a glimpse of her carotid artery. Then he put one hand on her back and bent over her neck.

Slowly he knocked his teeth into her flesh. It only took a few seconds. The girl's blood began to come out within seconds. He couldn't help but taste the sweet, warm liquid and enlarge the wound. Enjoying he closed his eyes and enjoyed drinking from her.

She froze from her rigidity before he even started drinking and tried to tear herself away from him. But the vampire was too strong. She clenched her hands to fists and she couldn't suppress a painful scream as he hit his teeth into her flesh. Her fingernails were piercing firmly into her palms and she pinched her eyes together.

After a while, she felt her dizziness turn black in front of her eyes for a few seconds. The powers left her slowly and she stopped defending herself. Her hope that he would still let go of her became smaller and smaller with every second that passed. She felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier and didn't last when her eyes closed by themselves.

A suffocating darkness spread around her and her consciousness faded as her heart rate slowed down.
