Crimson Kiss

Ivan Valeria

*1615*

It was late afternoon on a summer day. I was o  ny way home from the market when i heard a cry for help by a lady in an ally way... Some man was trying to take advantage of her. It was clear that he had way too much to drink and that the lady wanted him to leave. I rushed to her aid. I made short work of the man before he cowered in fea and ran away.
"Are you hurt my lady?" I asked her politely. She seemed flustered by me. Fair enough i was quite a ladies man. She batted her eyelashes before replying.
" No sir, bu you are." She was referring tothe gash on my forehead. He at least got in one lucky shot.
" its nothin my lady. Anything to protect a fair maiden like yourself! Is there anything else I could do for you ma'am?"
" Oh nonesense. Le me take you back to my place we will cleanthat cut. We dont want it getting infected now do we?" she announced. Now, i never turn down an offer to goto a ladies home, because that is one thing about sixteenth century woman, a few kind words and they fall apart at your feet and practically throw themselves at you...naturally when we got to the fair maidens house she fixed more than just my cut but she also fulfilled my sexual desires towards her... I think she was a harlet, oh well. At least it was for free.

It was eigjt pm by now and i was waljing to the pub to drink a pint of bear... Thats when I met her. A creature so beautiful she outshon the sun, the moon and all the stars put together. Her eyes looked luke big blue sapphires and her hair was as yellow as a silk cuccoon spun by a silk worm. Her skin was pale white and her lips rose pink. She was truly a sight to behold. I have never been known for someone that is too afraid to talk to a woman esoecialky when she was looking at me the way this fair creature was staring at me right now. I walked over to her and asked her her name.
"My name is Katarina." She was a beautiful foreigner. Sounded... Ukranian, that made her exotic and beautiful.
"Would you care to take a walk around the harbour my lady?" I askex her with a slught bow. She seemed inticed so she agreed and we walked out in the moonlit night, down tothe harbour.

Usually the harbour is quitw busy at night but this night it was strangely quite and an omnious wind was blowing all of a sudden.
"Do you believe in eternal life?" Katarina asked him.

What a strange question to ask...
"I cant say I do my lady. Do you believe in eternal life?" She was quiet for a moment before she replied.
"I give it." She suddenly came to an abrupt stop.
" what do you mean you give it?" I asked her, but she did not reply. She just came headin towards me there by the docks her eyes were now luminescent and seemed to have changed to red. Fangs protruded from her mouth as she asked.
"Do you want to experience eternal life, Ivan Valeria?" She knew my name... I did not even tell het my name... I had started to feel a little frightened so i turned to head back to the pub, but she was behind me in a second. I felt like a dear trapped by a pack of wolves. Only she was one person, with some scary looking eyes and teeth.
" whats going on here mi- ahhhhhhh!" She had sunken her teeth in my neck. The pain was excruciating and i could feel the life being pulled from my body. Just when i thoughts I was about to die she oulled away, slit her wrist and ooured the blood in my mouth i had no strength to move my nody so it just dripped down into my body. After feedig me her blood she looked at me and smiled before snapping my neck....

I woke up three hours later alone and starving... Craving blood. I the distance I could hear a harlet trying to find herself a victim to snare and a do pleasurable things to.
An easy target... I walked up to here, i could practically hear her heart neat racig as she looked at me as if it were my own heart I was hearing.
"Hey baby... Lookin for a girl to keep the other side of the bed warm tonight?" She asked. I had totally other motives i looked at her and smiled before ripping at her jugular and drinking her dry... That was my first harle I had killed then...it certainly wasnt my last....

Three centuries later I found myself in central avenue in america... Stalking my next prey... Thats when i saw here. A young asian girl with hair as black as night and emerald green eyes. The fullest set of lips and skin that just loved the colour of the sun on it. I had to get to know her.... So I followed her home... Infront of her door i froze.

What if ahe is frightened by me....

I could  not afford to think like that. I sucked in my fear and knocked on the door...
