"Thrall"
The glint of golden eyes was alluring, tempting. Closer and closer she was dragged, step after step as those gleaming orbs stripped away all pretenses of free will, until all that was left of her was a burning urge to move closer.
//Come to me//, the voice in her mind breathed. And who was she to disobey?
Something huge and organic was lowered to the ground, and under the influence of her puppetmaster, she crawled weakly onto it. The pulse in her mind became weaker as she broke contact with the gleaming yellow eyes. A feeling of weightlessness passed over her for a moment, then she felt the cool night air again as the vampire's hand lowered her gently onto the porch.
"Good god, Nibblet, you can't be *that* scared of spiders!"
