The shadows under the stars.

Chapter 3. Victoria

  Tw. Mentions of blood and being stabbed

  I sit there in the bushes wondering what the hell just happened did the girl really just push me into a bush. I grunt. "ill give you one two three head start." I say in hope she hasn't run off yet. When I move my head to look she has already run off. Clearly she hasn't learned that I can still catch her. I get up from the bushes and notice my shirt is torn. The fucking bitch spun me into a rose bush. The part where my shirt is torn is now bleeding due to the thorns of the bush. I'm confused whether or not to kill her now or kiss her. I run towards the direction her smell is coming from. She smells so scared I love it. "Four five six your fears intoxicating." I say. I see her in the distance running.  "You can try to run it makes it all the more fun when I finally catch up to you." I shout at her. She stops running and I catch up to her. She turns around "May I have this dance with you?" She asks.

   "Why the change in heart am I that irresistible?" I say. " No its just..." she starts but then stops. I see her bend down. I look at her with fear in my eyes. She holding something silver and before I can move she stabs me in the leg. I fall to the ground as my balance has been thrown off. "May I have this dance with you?" she asks again. I look at her with hurt in my eyes and say "Maybe in hell you filthy bitch." She bends down touches and touches my cheek. "I do have to admit you are hot, but maybe in another world we could be together." she stops talking and looks down at my lips. "I'm sorry its my job to kill vampires." She takes her hand away from my cheek and tosses me  some gauze. "Patch yourself up I would hate for you to be injured tomorrow. Count this as human one and Vampire... zero." She says with a smile taking her eyes off my lips she goes to stand up. I grab her by the hand. "I'm not going to be defeated that easily." I say getting up off the ground.

   "Give up already. Your being hunted by the hunter. How do you feel now your the pray?" she says in annoyance. I laugh at her words. "Don't be so cocky, just get on your knees and pray." she says swiping her foot underneath mine making me fall to the ground. She looks me in the eyes. "I'll give you one two three" she looks hurt. "head start." I respond. She smiles I feel like goo. 'four five six" she utters. "your fears intoxicating" I respond. She grabs me by the hand and stands me up. " I don't know if this is a fair game." she whispers, pulling me closer. I feel millions of little butterflies in my stomach. We are almost touching when I whisper "but you smell so good, so its you to blame." She kisses me quick but steamy.  Pulling away she looks at me then says "you can try to run it makes it all the more fun when I finally catch up to you, so little rabbit do you dance?" "Say little rabbit do you dance do you?" I shout. She gazes at me. "what is your name?" she asks. "Victoria. What's yours?" I ask her. she bites her lip. "Its Camille." she says. I look at her. she closes her eyes. She turns to walk away and this time I let her, knowing I will see her again. I smile and run through the trees of the forest. 

   Although I didn't catch Camille or any human I decided to feast on a rabbit that was passing my cottage just before the sun rise. I feel happy and excited to see Camille again hoping there would be another time. I close my eyes and drink the blood from the rabbit. I quickly close all the curtains to the cottage and go into my windowless bedroom. I lay awake for awhile thinking about Camile and hoping she got home safely and no other Vampire got her.
