My lethargic feet
carried me down the corridor towards my bedroom at the end. Releasing the
weight of my book bag off my shoulder, I swung it around me, preparing to toss
it onto the bed.
Except that I
couldn't do my usual routine and let my book bag fly onto my pile of pillows.
"Why are you
here?" I questioned tersely. My voice grew deeper and deeper as I quickly
let my bloodlust take control of me. Fur began sprouting on my skin, my skull
started changing shape and my fangs were starting to grow.
Right in front of me,
violating the sanctity of my bed was the vampire. Not just any vampire, but the
pretty boy vampire, the victim of my first hunt. The sight of him brought back
wonderful memories that quickly flooded my mind.
And now there he was,
sitting right there, as if inviting me to hunt him again. I licked my fangs,
wondering how awesome a second time with this vampire would be.
"Wait!" the
pretty boy called out, raising his hands in defense.
"I'm not here to
harm you," he continued, cowering under his arms.
Regaining my rational
mind, the fur receded back into my skin as I became more and more human by the
second.
"What do you
want?" I asked, finally a human again.
"You dropped
this when we last met," the vampire replied, throwing something at me.
I caught it
instinctively without even realizing what it was. There, laying the palm of my
hand was an amulet, my brother, Gabriel's amulet. I only remember seeing it a
few times in my life, and the last time I saw it was many years ago, the night
everything changed.
"Where'd you get
this?" I asked curiously, "I didn't drop such a thing when we last
met."
"But you must
have! I only realized it was on me when I escaped!" the vampire protested.
I had half a mind to
transform now and tear him apart. But a little voice in my head told me that
there might be a grain of truth to his words. After all, there was no reason to
lie about this.
If Gabriel's amulet
was indeed there on the night of my first hunt, Perhaps, someone in my pack
knew of his whereabouts!
The vampire in front
of me wasn't a creature to be abhorred and hated. He was a companion and a
valuable aide! Maybe I still have not forgiven their kind for the wrong they
wrought upon me. But I can't have only one specific vampire bear the burden of
my hatred, especially for such a manly and handsome vampire.
"Well, I suppose
you have helped me after all. So, um, thanks," I concluded weakly.
How could I not have
noticed until now that he was wearing such a seductive looking black leather
outfit! Given half a chance I would tear it off and show him the ways of
werewolf love in a heartbeat. I felt a stirring in my loins as wild fantasies
clouded my mind in his presence.
Professor Wolfenstein mentioned during one of our little supernatural
research sessions that vampires were extremely sensitive to their surroundings,
some purporting that they were even able to read minds. I wasn't so sure about
how conclusive such theories might have been. But the look in the vampire's
eyes clearly told me that he wanted the same thing.
"Since you've
helped me..." I wondered, letting my voice trail off.
"You're thinking
of how to repay me, aren't you?" the vampire finished my sentence, his
eyes fixated on the raging bulge in my jeans.
