Vampires: An Essay Collection by Sketching_perfection

In recent years, the vampire has become synonymous with eroticism and seduction; he has become, "Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles." (Rice). The vampiric myth, however, dates at least as far back as Mesopotamia, with our modern interpretation of the vampire emerging in the Balkans during the 18th century. With each new iteration of the vampire mythos, the tale has become a mirror of the era in which it was written; each version of the vampire tells us something about ourselves previously unknown. And each iteration adds more complexity to a myth that has sunk its teeth into at least as many countries as people. Like the vampire, we are both devoted to and repelled by faith. We seek to understand the nature of morality and the complexities of sin; we see ourselves in the dark plight of the vampire- in his loneliness. Mankind, like the vampire, is full of outcasts; creatures longing for understanding in a mysterious world. The vampire and mankind are two sides of the same coin. Who is to say which is more real? After all, "the world seems full of good men, even if there are monsters in it." (Stoker).

Her Seduction | ✔ by EXOtic_Devil

• N O T A F A N F I C T I O N • The things I do are not for pleasure or entertainment. I do them for the sake of revenge. I seduce Vampires, drink their blood, take their money and leave them in an uncomfortable situation. Of course I can drink their blood, as long as they are not an original, a Pureblood. Purebloods are very dangerous, very strong and very beautiful. They are the ones first born and cannot be killed. They can kill anything, even normal Vampires, with just one finger of theirs. Their blood is extremely dangerous to normal Vampires, it can kill us starting from the inside and finishing on the outside. That's what I was taught. So one night, when a beautiful, supposed-to-be Vampire caught my eyes, I decided to make him my prey. But catching his attention was the biggest mistake I've ever done. Bad move. He was a Pureblood. ~ ✧ ~ ✧ ~ ✧ ~ ✧ ~ WARNING: I WROTE THIS STORY WHEN I WAS 14/15! THIS WAS MY FIRST STORY ON WATTPAD SO IT WILL BE VERY CRINGE!

The Dark Rose 🌹 {18+} by chelseaxxm123

[COMPLETED] ೋღ🌹ღೋ He stands roughly a few feet away from me, his body towering over my crouched one. I bring my legs up to my chest, pushing myself further into the wall as he kneels down towards me. He brings his nose to the crook of my neck, my face grimacing as I await for the pain. He breathes in, "hmmm, you smell so delicious." He coos, his breath fanning my neck, causing me to shiver In disgust. If only my brothers were here... "Wheres a delicacy like you been hiding this whole time?" His use of words has me on edge. His implementations imply that he's some sort of cannibal and judging from what he did to that other man I fear I may be right. I refuse to answer him, spitting in his face. My face bounces of the wall, the sting of his slap left behind on my cheek. I shake the pain away, placing a facade up to hide the fear within. You fucking bastard! I narrow my eyes at him, taking note of his features in case I miraculously survive this encounter. His hair is a dark auburn and his eyes that watch me with amusement are a dark blue. His attire was a black suit which seemed out of place considering he was standing in an alleyway. If I manage to escape I want to be confident that'd I'd be able to have this bastard put behind bars. Again if... His eyes shift, my eyes widening as his eyes turn from a dark blue to a pool of black, red veins trailing along from his pupil to the edge of his eyes. His voice is dark as he commands, "Show me that pretty little neck of yours." ೋღ🌹ღೋ ⚠️ Warning!!! This book is extremely dark and has depictions of Mature language, violence, sexual activity, sexual and physical abuse, including rape. Rape is a serious crime often overlooked where the victim is made to believe it is their fault. I do not condone rape however, it's a reality. Please only read if your 18+ and with caution. This book will be updated weekly. Possibly sometime more or less depending on how busy I am.
