I'm Being Stalked By A Ghost & Hunted By A Vampire

Part Fifty-Nine

You quietly sit at the dinner table, finding yourself glaring unimaginably hard at Etelm. You have been protesting Etelms threat on Rumors life by not eating.

You watch as Etelm takes a bite from his meal, slowly savoring the taste of his steak. You lower your eyes to your plate, noticing how they seem to have made all of your favorite foods.

A delicious looking steak, basmati rice that has been boiled with coconut oil and a pinch of salt and barely steamed broccoli, so it still has its crunch.

You glance at the company, noticing that the man with the large black eyes is back, wearing the same choice of clothes as he was the first night you seen him.

The girl with the blonde hair is also back, she is wearing her usual black and white Lolita styled dress, but this time her hair is down and tightly curled at the tips.

She has been watching you, not making any effort to be discrete.

You turn your attention back to Etelm, pushing your plate away from you and sitting back, arms crossed.

Etelm who was sipping his wine, pauses, observing your challenge. He sets the glass down, leaning in to the table, smiling, annoyed.

"Why not take a bite doll?" you shake your head, feeling a sharp sensation of vertigo.

"You'll be useless to me if you are not well girl." His voice drips with bitterness, clearly not a fan of your idea. You keep quiet, having not spoken in weeks.

You are losing track of time, you can't remember the last time you've eaten. You know it has been a while, your mind can't seem to process time properly, which is what happens when you're starving.

Etelm has made sure to keep your water levels up, and maintain proper hydration but he has yet to attempt any sort of nutrients. You close your eyes, knowing that you can push past this.

By the time you reopen your eyes, you have found that everyone has left. They must've finished eating, while you passed out. You stay seated, finding that you have no strength to get up.

You notice your plate is still in front of you but everyone else's have been taken away. You sit up carefully using the table for support. Your vision blurs as you attempt to see through the haze brought on by your hunger.

"Care for a hand?" the voice was a whisper, which you almost mistook for a hallucination, but once you turn your head to the right, you notice someone is sitting in the seat.

You squint your eyes in an attempt to focus better, and find the man with the large black eyes and trench coat staring blankly at you. You give yourself one last attempt to get up and go wherever it is you are going, but give up. You sit back down, the urge to burst out crying building up inside.

The man takes your inability to stand as a yes and sits up, grabs your arm, and lifts you up out of your seat. The first thing you notice is the heat coming off his body.

You find that strange since vampires are very cold beings, so what is he? You let him direct you through the halls, knowing where he is taking you. You're going back to Etelms room.

You pass by a large mirror, taking in your appearance, your cheeks have hollowed, and the bags under your eyes are dark circles that are prominent as ever. Your dress now hangs loosely off your body, any definition you had, gone.

As you suspected, you arrived at Etelms room.

You enter the bedroom noticing how dark it is, which is a good sign. That means that Etelm won't be back for some time.
