The Vampire & the Rebel (Completed)

Vienne is one of the oldest and most powerful vampires left in the world after the human suppression wars. She bears a carefully crafted image and is widely respected by her peers. There is only one enemy left that could possibly defeat her:

Sheer, overwhelming boredom.

With an indefinite vampiric future stretching out before her and novelties becoming increasingly rare as the centuries stretch by, defeating the encroaching tedium is the silent purpose that seeps into every facet of her well ordered life.

Luckily, she acquires a handsome new feeder with just enough of a hate-filled rebellious spark to pique her interest and hold her attention. While she attempts to train him to bend perfectly to her will, he makes plans to succeed in his ultimate bid for freedom and revenge.

There are only three likely outcomes. The human male will succumb, he will overcome, or the two will destroy each other in an endless battle of wills.
