Fantasy - The Anthology

Vampires Thrall

My Best friend, Cassie begged me to go to the club with her for her birthday. It was a new club called the Bloody Mary that everyone seemed to gravitate towards. I had my reservations about going due to it being in the rough part of town, but her begging wore me down and before I knew it we were in the club, drinking and dancing and enjoying ourselves, until she ditched me for some random guy.

I was beyond annoyed with her. I was fuming when I grabbed my bag and coat, leaving to walk the dangerous streets of down town all by myself. At least I thought I was alone until I heard footsteps approaching me from behind.

I spun around ready to face my attacker head on to find nobody there. The street was empty. I shake my head, having thought I must of imagined it for the footsteps to suddenly start up again. This time when I spin around there was a beautiful stranger standing too close to me, looking down at me as if I was something he wanted to eat.

'H...Hello?' I stuttered.

'Awfully late to be walking the streets alone, my dear.'

'I...'

'would you like some company?' He asked.

I wanted to say no. I wanted to tell him to go away, but for some reason those thoughts drifted away as I looked into his piercing blue eyes, feeling any sense of danger melt away.

'I'm Michael.' He told me.

'Olivia.' I offered him my name.

'Let me walk you home, Olivia.'

'O... Okay.'

I turn back around and we walk in silence for a moment before Michael starts to ask me questions about myself.

'Do you have a boyfriend, Olivia.'

'No.' I reply, feeling my cheeks heating up.

'Good.' Is all he says.

I thought he was just showing an interest in me. I thought he was being nice, but in hindsight I now know why he was asking me. He was trying to work out if anyone would be waiting for me. If someone would be back at my home.

When we get back to my apartment he asks if he can call a taxi as he lived all the way across town. I didn't think there was anything weird about it. It seemed like a normal request, so I agreed to let him into my home.

As soon as the door shut behind us a darkness flashes across his eyes. Before I could ask him to leave he rushes across the room towards me with such unnatural speed that I stumbled back into the wall.

'Give yourself to me, Olivia.' He spoke, locking eyes with me.

My body refused to move away from him after that. I stayed within his grasp, pressed against the wall as he gripped my chin in his hand.

'You are a beautiful young women, Olivia. You should never let a stranger into your home.' He tells me as he moves my chin to the side, opening my neck to him.

He leans into me, breathing across my throat before his tongue juts out his mouth, running along my skin. A shiver runs down my spine, unable to move or push him away. But that wasn't the worst of it. His teeth then replace his tongue, gently gliding across where he'd just licked when suddenly a red hot, searing pain shot through me as he bite into me, releasing a trickle of red liquid that poured down my front.

'You taste so good.' He tells me through hooded eyes as his hand lands on my waist, pulling me towards him as his mouth moves back to my neck, licking at the blood that poured from my open wound.

As he does that his hands move to the straps on my dress, pulling them down my arms, allowing the material covering my body to drop to the floor. My eyes skim down my body, noticing my lack of underwear as I cower under him naked.
