Description
Buffy Benson was an ordinary student at State
University, better looking and more promiscuous than the majority of the women
there, but mostly ordinary. That ended one evening when her boyfriend bit her
neck and turned her into a vampire like himself. Her new life had some ups and
downs, but was generally an enjoyable one, partly because her heightened
vampire senses make sex so much better and partly because she could take
revenge on her enemy.
Excerpt
That reminded Buffy of the conclusion to the
previous night's making out in his car. "Not so fast. I'm still pissed off at
you for what you did to me. I didn't ask to be made into a vampire, although it
doesn't feel too bad so far. I don't know that I want to go anywhere with you."
"Look, like I said, I'm sorry about that. If
I'd have known how you felt, I would never have turned you, but I really like
you, and I thought you liked me too. Anyhow, what's done is done, and we might
as well make the most of it."
"Maybe that's how you think, but I don't want
to get it on with somebody I'm pissed off at. Besides, how would I know you
wouldn't bite me again?"
"That's one thing you'll never have to worry
about again. Vampires don't have any blood in their veins, so I wouldn't have
any reason to bite you. Your blood was really delicious, by the way, some of
the best I've ever tasted. How did you like this guy's blood, by the way?" he
asked, pointing at the mugger who was still standing near them, a vacant look
on his face.
"If you must know, his blood was very tasty.
Is it always like that?"
"Some is better than others, but it's all
good. Look, you don't have to come with me, but I'm sure you know you have a
lot to learn if you're going to survive. I'll tell you what. I really am
concerned with your welfare, so come to my place and you won't have to do
anything you don't want to."
Buffy thought about that. She still wasn't
sure she wasn't having some weird dream or wasn't hallucinating from some drug
Conrad might have slipped her, but she thought it was probably a good idea to
follow him. If he was telling the truth, she had to trust him to survive.
"Okay, but promise you won't try to pull
anything."
"I promise. Are you ready to go now?"
"How do we get there? Did you bring your
car?"
"Don't need a car. I can fly almost anywhere
I want to go, and so can you. I'll show you."
"Fly? Me?"
"Yes. Just hold your arms out at your sides
like this and start flapping them."
As Buffy watched and imitated him, Conrad
reached his arms out and started waving them up and down. She felt silly until,
without any warning, the ground disappeared from under her. The newly
transformed bat looked down and saw the dirt and grass she had been standing
on, but she didn't see her feet. She started flapping her arms, which had
become wings, and rose rapidly, almost bumping into a tree branch overhead.
Buffy continued turning her body and flapping her wings until she started
getting the hang of flying while her more experienced companion, who had also
turned into a bat, flew in place nearby and watched her efforts. He landed on
the ground; she followed him, and they both reverted to their human forms.
"Flying isn't as easy as you might think, but
you'll be alright with a little more practice. Now, just follow me." Once
again, he started waving his arms up and down.
Buffy imitated him again and, seconds later,
she was following him as he flew high into the air headed south. They were
above the trees, and she had no difficulty following him, until they flew to a
tall building and he landed on the sill of an open window in the highest floor
and jumped inside. Unsure of her ability to land as Conrad had, Buffy hovered
outside, until he stuck his head, in human form again, out the window to talk
her in.
"Stretch your legs out until your feet land
on the window sill, and then jump inside. Don't worry if you don't make it the
first try, because you'll still be a bat, and you can come back and try again."
Buffy was glad to hear that, and she did as
he instructed her. On her first try, she stuck her feet too far out in front of
herself, and fell backward when she tried to jump through the open window. Flapping
her wings furiously, she rose above the window and returned to try again. This
time, she landed properly on the sill, and a quick push with her feet propelled
her through the window and she landed on the carpeted floor. She was in what
was apparently Conrad's bedroom and, seconds later, she was a 19 year old woman
again, sprawled out on the floor and exhilarated by her first experience of
flying with her new wings. After seeing she had landed safely, Conrad pulled
his head back in and stood looking at her and smiling.
