Lost

My haste of getting back into the house had made me make one vital mistake, I hadn't bolted the door and now there they stood, two of them with a look in their eyes is not one that I had ever seen before.
It was not a look of taunting or even hatred these things were glacial anxious even. My mere presence coward into the corner meant nothing to them, they were here for a purpose.

"It's upstairs, and it still smells fresh." Even through covered ears, I could hear their uncivilized tones. One had short black hair his eyes were dark as his face lifted into the air as if he were searching for something. The other smirked as he nodded his head up and down.

"We will be feeding like kings tonight. I can smell how young she is. They always taste divine when they are young."

I swallowed the bile that burnt the back of my throat as my hands fell to my mouth grasping it for silence. I could feel my stomach churning at the words of these repulsive creatures.

"But then maybe it's this one that I can taste already on my tongue." A hissing sound came from his lips as he turned to face me, his callous smile spreading across his face the closer he became to me.

"Alec the Master will not be pleased if we harm her. We need to just do what we came here for."

"Maybe the master doesn't even need to know." His dark hair fell to his face as my breathing deepened. I was too scared to hide it, him being this close made my head feel as if a haziness were cloaking my vision, the closer he became, the more I feared him.

"He knows everything that goes on in this town. So let's get what we come for and leave."

"She's almost ready to join us, I can smell the blood in her, it's strong. When are you eighteen girl?"His tongue repeatedly licked his lips as he now crouched down before me. My voice did not allow me to speak as I trembled in the corner staring into the black eyes of a monster that may have been moments from taking my life. "What's the matter having you lost your voice child." His top lip curled as I gasped at the touch of his finger that now ran down my cheek. "You are beautiful. I bet you taste divine. I can smell you it's like a delicate fine wine." My body came to a standing stance as his finger now ran all the way to my chest bone. I could feel every tiny hair standing up on my skin as my back stayed firmly pressed against the cold wall. He made me feel inadequate as his intimidation washed through me. "Do I have to make you talk, I can do that if you like!" His hand gripped effortlessly around my throat as I let out a tiny groan of help, his face now inches from mine as he persisted his focus on me. His nose hovering over my throat as if he were taking in my very aroma.

"Alec we have outstayed our welcome. I have had enough of waiting around. I am going to do what we came here for. You play your foolish games, but I want no part of it." He continued upstairs as my heart hurt thinking of him touching Jessica.

"Oh him being up there is upsetting you. I can hear your heartbeat rapidly pumping that glorious blood around your body. Not all blood smells this exquisite. You have a hint of the desert rose. When you pass those golden gates, you will be very popular." He began sniggering to himself as my palms pressed firmly against the wall, not wanting to touch any part of him as his filthy hands remained firmly on me. "I wonder who you got it from your mother or father, you see the girl up there she smells good too but just of the regular citrus notes. Once you've tasted one of them it's all the same, but you, you are different. Something about you excites me." I closed my eyes and squirmed, pressing the back of my head as deep into the wall as possible as the tip of his tongue began to make tiny circles on the side of my throat. The sickening noises he was making as his groaning grew louder, his body now pressing into mine as his excitement became apparent.

"Stop, get off from me." I tried to push him away, but the strength of this creature was beyond anything I had encountered before, I could not remove him as his hands now wandered eagerly underneath my dress and up to the top of my thigh.
