Yea!!!! My papers are almost done and I finished my birthday celebrations (I'm finally 21!!!) So I decided to take a break from studying (and drinking) to write the next installment. I should have the next by about Thursday next week.
Enjoy!
The Bait
The rogue vamp moved across the room unnoticed. Adriana moved with inhuman speed to intercept him, If I could just get in front of him…
The vamp was nearing Beth. His eyes had gone transparently blue and his extended fangs were visible through his open mouth, Almost like he was panting, Adriana thought to herself. If fact the vamps entire body language suggested he was hunting prey… the wide eyes, the hunched back, the quick fluid motion of his stride…
Still no one had noticed.
Adriana dodged faster through the crowd. She reached the vamp as he paused behind Beth. Adriana grabbed the vamps arm and turned him toward her. He struggled against her grip and tried to grab Beth. He caught hold of Beth's shoulder trying to turn her neck toward him.
Beth stumbled, awakened from her trance; Mick's concentration was broken as well. They both looked toward the vamp, stupefied by their arousal. The vamp was leaning in for the bite as Adriana flipped her hair off her shoulder and offered her neck to the vamp.
Mick finally realized what the vamp was doing and moved forward, but he was stopped by another— a different— wave passion.
This one rolled off Adriana. Mick was caught by its full allure, even Josef pulled away from his meal to see the source. All the vamps in the club turned to look at Adriana.
Humans can't do that... Mick thought, as he stood there, paralyzed by the emotions running through him.
The rouge vamp took the bait. He discarded Beth and sank his open jaw into Adriana's neck. He started to feed… forcefully. Beth's eye widened in terror as she realized Adriana had sacrificed herself for Beth. Beth looked to Mick for help, but he was still frozen in place.
The club watched in silence as the vamp drained Adriana; no one moved to save her…no one even moved. The vamps in the club could feel all the emotions, the life draining, the joy of feeding, the fear of death…
Beth grabbed Mick and shook him from his stupor, "Help her," she commanded. Mick looked blankly at Beth… he was fully vamped out. Beth was startled, but she shook him again, this time making eye contact with him, which broke his concentration from her neckline. He snapped out of it and turned quickly toward Adriana and the vamp.
He moved to pull the vamp off Adriana, but as he approached the vamps body crumpled to the floor. Adriana stood there— blood trickling down her neck— waves of power radiating off of her.
Mick looked to the vamp on the floor… he was dead.
Who is this girl?
