New Beginnings

Part 1 (Section 3)

What is happening? She was here, now she isn't. GET THE HECK OUT OF MY HEAD! Laughter fills my head before the room shifts into a forest filled with close grown trees. Perfect, I am God only knows where with a Master vampire playing with my mind. I have to wake up before he kills me in my sleep. Impossible....he is a master and I am not even close to being strong enough to stop this.

Resigning and knowing it is not real I sit down in the soft grass and close my eyes. I refuse to give into his gimmicks. I can feel a cool breeze move my hair and tickle my face. It's been so long since I've felt common sensations like this, that I begin to gain pleasure from it. The breeze, the sun coming through the trees to hit my back, and the hunger no longer present, a smile threatens to take a permanent residence upon my face and just like that it all ended.

All sensation disappeared and I was back in the concrete room with not so much as a glimmer of hope. Stop this...please....this is torture. A giggle fills the room again and I can almost feel his presence rake through my mind. His voice smooth and sultry booms within the small room, "If you insist. I will relish bleeding you dry."

I can feel him remove himself from my mind and only then could I open my eyes. The room is dimly lit and I clench my fingers, finding only a soft comforter beneath me. The softness of the bed is unbelievable and I relax into it. Knowing that my death will come, and soon, makes everything seem unreal. I'm so tired, I've already accepted my fate, I just wish it would come soon.

Heavy footsteps enter the room and curious I sit up against the intricate wooden headboard of the bed. Master, you look good. His bright blue eyes turn on me and his smile sends chills through my body. Not going to talk to me, fine, finish me off already. I look him straight in the eyes with a newfound confidence and pull back my lips, showing him my canines as they slowly elongate. You did this to me, you evil creature. His smile widens and looking closely I can tell he isn't breathing and that, more than anything sets me on edge. Dressed in a black tux with a red shirt, he looks like a millionaire, but I'll never again be deceived by his fluid movements and beautiful features. Older than the dirt he walks on, his eyes hold the wisdom of a thousand men.

I continue to stare him down as he walks to the edge of the bed before sitting at my feet. I know better than to fight you, Master. Don't look for me to make any more stupid mistakes. He sets his soft hand on my shin and tingles spread from that spot outward making me close my eyes for a moment. Please don't do this to me. He slides his hand gently up my leg before resting it on my thigh. I take a sharp intake of breath as he enters my mind and pumps my body full of pleasure. Stop it. My thoughts are weak as my mind becomes blank with need. My jaw aches and claws grow from my hands. Hungry... The need for blood races through my veins and before I can stop I sit up and lay my hands on Master's shoulders.

I can't hold back any longer and as my mind goes blank Master slightly cocks his head to the side, and I lean into him. I lean into his warmth and graze my teeth across his neck with powerful need. A whisper slides from his full lips, "My child, you must know better than this. Have I not taught you well enough?" Faster than light his head cracks into mine causing my head to spin.

In that moment the claws sticking from my skin sink back into my hand and I close my eyes in disorientation. When I open them I find that I can not move. Master has pinned my legs with his own and his powerful grip is pressing my wrists into the soft comforter above my head. A shiver of fear shakes my body as I stare directly into his cold, calculating eyes. I'm so sorry Master. What have I done. I didn't mean...I'm just so hungry.

His voice like a heavy weight sinks deep into my soul, "Young one, if you had stayed I'd have taught you how to hold back the hunger, how to survive. You alone chose to cross me, and run like the coward you are. I will allow you one last meal before I end your pathetic existence, for real this time. Oh, how I'd hoped that you'd have been one of the good ones, after all you're so pretty."

Releasing me from his grip I lay still as I feel his hand softly caress my cheek, in what may have been a gesture of love. His blue eyes have me staring once more as I feel my heart, beat a little faster, for his beauty is unlike any on this earth. I know I shouldn't, but I love you. I watch his eyes widen slightly in surprise before he leaves the room faster than my eyes can follow.
