Hi guys, here's the next update. I hope you like it, and please review :-)
She didn't even try to brake away from him. His grip was like steel and she could feel how bruises were starting to form on her arm. There was no point.
"You smell fantastic," his voice was like velvet and with his one free hand he slowly moved her hair away from her face. He looked at her for a long moment, then shrugged.
"Hmm, I took you for a fighter, but well, you can't be right every time." He leaned in so close that she could feel his cold breath against her skin.
"Any last words?" he whispered ironic.
"I need a job!" she didn't even understand her own words before they had left her mouth.
He pulled back, only a few inches, but enough to look at her face.
"So?"
Quickly she collected herself."I could work for you. You know, washing clothes, cleaning, cooking... No scratch that last part, there's obviously no need for that." The words came stumbling out of her, not really making sense in her own ears.
"Well, I can do whatever you needed to get done. I'm not picky."
"And what would the price of all this delightful service be?" His voice sent shivers down her spine. He was toying with her and she knew it. Breathing in deeply she answered:
"Just room and board."
He watched her for a long moment, the suddenly he took a step back releasing her arm.
"Well then. Right now I can't make up my mind. Since you," he let his fingers trail down her chin, "are off the menu for a moment, I need you to point me in the right direction. Who should I eat next?"
Kiryas mind was finally starting to get back to it's normal cool state. She quickly looked around the room. Her conversation with the vampire had apparently not taken as long as she'd thought. People were still rushing around to get out. And there, in the middle of the mess, she saw him... He was trying to crawl over his desk to get to the door. That old disgusting pig.
"That guy," she points across the room. "In the blue shirt, with ugly glasses."
The vampire cast a short glance in the direction she pointed.
Then he jumped. He sailed through the air, way too far to be human, and landed right in front of the guy. He tried to flee back across the desk, but the vampire was faster, gripping him by the neck, lifting him into the air. Then, with no pause, he jammed his free hand straight into his chest. There was a splash of blood as he retreated his hand and let go of the dead body, which slumped limbly to the floor. He turned around and caught Kiryas gaze, in his right hand he held a lump of meat; a heart. He took a lick, and mouthed "delicious", as he turned around to find his next victim.
Kirya didn't know how much time had passed. At some point her knees had given in, and now she sat with her back up against the wall. The room was silent. She just sat and waited for him to remember her. Somehow she knew that if she had tried to run, he would have been there faster than lightning, so she'd just stayed and watched. She figured that she was probably dead anyway, so what did it really matter? Even if she had gotten away, she had nowhere to go and nothing to eat.
She didn't hear him, but suddenly he was there standing right before her. She got to her feet. If this was it, she surely wasn't gonna sit and wait for it.
"You wanted work you said," he looked at her intently.
"Yes."
"Do you know how to handle a gun?"
"Yes."
"Can you obey orders immediately?"
"Yes."
"Well then," he offered her the gun he'd taken from the guard earlier. "Shoot yourself."
Her mind was racing. This was the weirdest job interview she'd ever been in. Did he want her to kill herself? What kind of shit was this?
And then she understood.
"Room and board?" she asked.
"Why not."
She took the gun from his hand, flicked off the safety and in a single movement pressed it to her left palm.
This is gonna hurt.
Then she pulled the trigger.
