Chapter 1: Pursuit

My senses heightened as I followed her through the dark alley. I could feel the misty fog settling against my skin like needle pins. I could taste the chill in the autumn air while maple leaves lingered on their branches. I could see her pull her thin jacket tighter as she picked up her pace. I could hear everything but my ears zeroed in on her beating heart.

One sense dominated over everything else making my pursuit hard to abandon. The smell of her hot, rich, rushing blood pulsing underneath her skin. It beckoned me like a siren's call. 'La tua cantante'.

I've been following her for days hoping the scent of her blood would elude me if I smelled it enough. It only made it worse because I could not be satiated by the smell of her alone. I wanted to taste her, to sink my teeth into her creamy flesh, and to turn her so that I may finally rid myself of this empty feeling inside.

I could feel my conscious pulling against me. She was innocent, almost angelic, not the kind of humans I chased after for my evening meals. I was going against my morals and what I knew was right, but my desire for her simply could not be ignored.

Surely, she would understand because she had no one either. She lived alone without family, without friends, without anyone but herself. An orphan. She would know what it's like to be alone.

I watched her round the corner to her apartment complex and took a flight of stairs up. Rushing, she jabbed her key into the lock and twisted eager to be home safe.

'Not tonight, Princess. I'm sorry.'

As soon as she pushed the door opened, I moved in behind her and clamped my hand down on her mouth before locking the door behind me. She fought helplessly against my steel grasp stirring the air with too much of her scent. My nostrils flared bringing in the scorching flames to my throat. The scent burned through my lungs nearly bringing me to my knees.

I felt her body shaking against me from fear, but she never gave up her fight. I liked her spirit already.

With a swift movement, I pushed her flowing hair away revealing a soft and creamy neck. I licked my lips in anticipation and thankful that she wasn't facing me. I couldn't stand it if I saw her terrified eyes, and I didn't want her to remember me this way if she could remember this at all.

Something wet landed on my hand. The one that was covering her mouth. It took me a second to register what it was. She was crying muffled sobs. I thought about letting her go, but I have already grown too attached. I could never let her go now.

'It'll be over soon. I promise.'

Holding her protectively and securely in my arms, I buried my teeth deep into her neck not missing the muffled cry of pain coming from her throat. Then, her blood began to seep into my mouth so much sweeter than it smelled. Could anything be more divine? She tasted like chocolate and wine combined in a lethal concoction that intoxicated me.

With a rough groan, I sucked at her neck more fiercely than before. I could feel her protests fading away as I consumed more and more of her blood. Soon, she fell limp in my arms and I drank my fill of her.

I disengaged moments later when I was sure enough venom made it's way into her body. I licked my lips to collect the crimson liquid that was still there. In control, I tuned into the beating of her heart. It was too slow and faint for a moment before the venom seeped through and sent it soaring. Then, the screams began…

To be continued…
