Kiss My Sassy Vamp

Rue

Did I forget? I can't swim. Oops. Water flooded into my lungs. I choked. Desperately trying to rid myself of the irritating salty water. It seeped into me and made me weak. The creature was looming over me.

It held my head under the crushing waves.

If you choose to fight back: punch on over to page 103...

The warmth of the touch was something I didn't want to lose.

'Help me,' I garbled.

'Why?' He lifted my head out of the water and sneered. 'Why on earth would I want to help you?'

'So we're still on earth?' I swallowed back my fear.

'Just an expression my dear,' he spat in my face.

'I'm already in trouble.'

'What for?'

'For being me.'

'Ah,' his eyes shone; I could see him clearly now, he was just a man. 'The worst crime indeed.'

'I'm an outsider,' I crinkled up my nose. 'I think about things that no one else does, I don't do what everyone else does. I'm a weirdo. A professional loser by trade.'

He brushed his lips against mine and whispered, 'Where were you ten seconds ago?'

'I was sitting here,' my lips went numb as ants crawled around in my belly. 'Thinking the same things and getting nowhere, when I was filled with so much malice it felt like my insides were being torn apart.'

'Well,' the vampire caressed my arm with his claws.

Oops why did I think he was human? He wasn't. Things were going from bad to worse. I needed to get out of there.

'On a blood moon anything can happen.'

'How did you...' I looked around the area but I was alone. It felt like I was dreaming. Half my face was asleep. I subtly poked my cheek.

I jolted awake in bed. It was a nightmare but not all of it. My roof was missing. A constant stream of water was hitting my face but hey I'm a deep sleeper.

'Great,' I jumped out of bed and sprinted towards my kin. There was a big mess to clean up. But I was alive. For now, that was enough.

The End :-)
