Vampire World (VAMPIRE WORLD #1)

Part 28 TriFang

Chapter 27: TriFang

            “Well, it's no big a surprise,” Rob said. “I knew you liked me all along. I guess I just have a way with beautiful vampires like yourself.”

            I found it difficult to lie to such a total ass. But I had to. “It’s been a rough few days,” I told him. “Brett and I broke up recently. And you know, I just need someone to talk to.”

            He laughed like a devil. “I knew that pussy wasn’t good for you. You need a strong vampire; one who won’t dry up like a douche.”

            “Actually, it’s funny,” I said, inwardly fuming at the bloodsucker’s insults. “I’ve been thinking about you a lot, even before I broke up with Brett.”

            There was a short pause. He was thinking; something I didn’t realize he knew how to do.

            “Well, I know I’m hot,” he eventually said. “Anyway, since you want to see me so badly, there’s something special I'd like to take you to tonight.”

            At first I showed hesitation, and it drove him crazy. I had to play a little hard to get.

            “Gee, I don’t know…”

            “Oh come on, Janice! You know you want me. You know I’m irresistible.”

            Now I was speechless.

            “You've already turned me down once,” he pressed on. “Don’t do it again! Come on. Let me pick you up in thirty degrees. I want to take you to the coolest party you’ve ever experienced. Dress sexy and hot. Wear tight clothes. Show off your gifts.”

            I gave in to his fantasy. I had to. He was taking me to a TriFang party. I was going right into the bull’s eye.

            Remembering to protect myself, I put on the belt of stakes and concealed them well under my jeans. Each stake however, dug uncomfortably against my skin.

            I put on my tight crimson shirt that showed off my figure to its best advantage. Hopefully this would help to entice Rob into giving me the information I needed about the special blood they drank. Of course, there was a risk that it could also draw him to me in a very dangerous way. That’s why I had the stakes. I wouldn’t hesitate to stab several in his heart if he dared to mess with me again.

            I glanced in the mirror while combing my hair of tubes. Seeing my reflection brought to mind how I'd not been able to see myself in the small mirror my stranger had given to me. But there was no time to worry about that now. I snuck quietly outside, careful not to wake a snoozing Mr. FreeCut. Rob’s hot sports car with flames bleeding over the glossy paint was parked in front of the house.

            “Get in,” he said, not bothering to step out of the car. For a second I considered calling things off and running back into the house. But it was too late. I got in and the automatic door shut.

            “Good to see you, baby,” he said.

            His fiery red hair and TriFang tattoo on his forehead caught my eye. So too did his demonic leather jacket carrying disturbing designs of rotting vampire heads. I tried to hide the fact that I was freaked.

            “What’s the matter?” he asked. “You should be glad to see me.”

            “I am,” I said, lying through my fangs.
