vampires

You know waking up somewhere I don't know in a bed I had no idea how I got there isn't as fun as people make it out to be, I remember thinking 'I must have drunk a lot to make me not remember even how I got here' I also assumed that the events of the night before where only dreams, which they definitely were not. "ugggh … my head" obviously feeling groggy, I mean I fainted for god's sake, the pink walls and well everything lead me to believe I was in a girls room, I am sorry for my stereotyping but it really was a girls room so its ok right?. Rustles in the fabric made my head turn around swiftly to see the sight of red dress lady from last night "wait … but it was a dream wasn't it" red dress lady was clearly injured with claw marks running up her sides and chest, I blushed immediately and tried to turn my head away before she awoke but alas I was too late "so finally awake after leaving me to fight the big bad wolf alone and the first thing you do is stare at my tits" red dress lady's voice was like velvet to my ears while her raised eyebrow and pout showed she was only half serious. "I am sorry … forgive me red dress lady" I spoke quickly the words almost failing to leave my mouth.

"really, red dress lady that's the best you could come up with" she stuck out a hand "Veronica"

I stuck out mine; I was obviously startled by her forwardness and everything before that, we shook "Elliott"

"well Elliot what say I cook up something to eat"

"sounds good"

"all right then we can talk about last night … which strangely you aren't traumatised by, humans are usually a lot weaker mentally than that, I may be impressed" she said this with a smirk on her stunning face. Her really sharp teeth suddenly visible, I flinch not noticing it before, but it was as if her entire mouth was filled with the sharp teeth. taken aback I look closer at her physical features a bit more, raven black hair pointy ears common on what you would think an elf looks like, skin as white as snow and a deep blood red eyes that seem to stare into my soul, the blood red eyes I didn't notice before but where so prominent in what happened last night. They were hypnotic but at the same time they made my body scream at me in fear to run away "uhhh … miss Veronica"

"yes Elliott" she said this while getting up her voice visibly straining from the pain, yet it still managed to be absolutely wonderful

"what are you?" she laughed despite the pain and it seemed as if she didn't care yet it was clear that she was still suffering

"well my dear, I am a vampire" I wanted to run to escape and never look back, to just get away, to run and run until I couldn't anymore, or I was safe. my body was frozen. I couldn't move. I was crippled by fear. Thinking it was the end I prepared myself for death. Tears threatening to come to my eyes as I try not to look at her. Then with no warning a thought 'she saved me didn't she? why would she kill me now' that impossible thought calmed me down enough to move again, I had to know so I asked "are you going to eat me miss Veronica" I was so afraid still but I managed to hold myself together to ask that very question fear evident in my voice. All of a sudden her mouth formed a smile that was both insanely beautiful and bone chillingly terrifying "no Elliott, I may take a sip from you if you will allow me though" I relaxed some more knowing that she won't eat me, still a bit weary knowing that she was a killer, that she was built to hunt and devour humans, if the stories are to be believed then she will outclass me in everything. Now I know what I should have been like from an outsider point of view, but the sheer physical evidence proved what she said to be true. "would it hurt?"

"maybe … maybe not, but I would be so grateful to you if you were to let me take a sip" speaking sultrily she bent towards me my breath quickening I was about to tell her she could do what she wished my brain locked onto other things, then she almost immediately got back up again "so what do you want for breakfast I checked and you have eggs and bacon"

"umm … I'll have both if that's ok" then something occurred to me

"Of course"

"wait miss veronica you don't eat human food because you are a vampire correct?"

"correct assumption Elliott"

"so why is there food in your house?"

"because Elliott, this isn't my house" visibly confused looking around the bedroom a bit more I discovered this looked more familiar than I originally thought thinking a bit more, it then hit me how could I be so stupid that I didn't recognise it right away, this was my sisters room. This is my house, I am actually glad that no one is home right now because if they were …. Wait how did we get to my house "how are we in my house?"

"I have my ways"

"couldn't you have at least brang me to my room"

"so this isn't your room" her smile faltered for a second "I just thought you really liked pink" she then chuckled

"pink is my least favourite colour" breathing in and just deciding to go for it YOLO and everything, im such an idiot "my favourite colour is red though, which is why I love your eyes so much" not untrue but her eyes still held that bit of mystery that freaked me out. She chuckled at what I said "you are a real charmer Elliott" she walked downstairs presumably to make me something to eat. I ran to my room to change my shirt, I opted for a plain black T-shirt; I wanted to impress her but not make her think I was trying to impress you know? Anyway, I slowly made my way downstairs. "you know you could have cleaned yourself Elliott"

"sorry" she can smell me can't she. Shit I failed already damn, but she didn't listen to me, she just continued to set the table humming a song that I have never heard before "miss veronica?"

"yes Elliott?" she was carefree and sounded genuinely happy. I don't want to mess this up but here goes

"why are you still here … I mean you saved me sure but why are you here and all"

"I have grown quite fond of you Elliott … I would like for you and me to stay together for a bit … I get a place to stay, company and conversation and in return I could teach you a few things. I don't know why, though maybe I'm just wanting to get a taste" a smile crept on her face again, I'm not sure if I like where she was going with this, but I had to ask, I mean I was curious, who wouldn't be?

"like what?"

"Magic"

"what? … I get vampires but magic? I just don't think that is possible" I'm being an idiot again aren't I

"oh, it is and so much more … I want to help you Elliott ... let me help you" her eyes glow red as I melt like hot butter to her voice, enthralled by it, I think literally "of course miss vero-" SMASH a window broke in the lounge. I heard a growl. it was loud, so loud. I was petrified, thinking about what I could be then I remembered the wolf "shit, the wolf what do I do" I look at veronica waiting for her to tell me to hide. All I want to do I hide "we my dearest Elliott … will fight" I immediately was more afraid than even when I thought she was going to eat me, I can't do this I couldn't bring myself to "common Elliott stop fucking around and grab a knife" she actually seemed annoyed then she bared har fangs. for some reason that actually calmed me down "y-yes" I ran to the draw and took out a knife holding it ready. I admit I was probably holding it wrong. finally, the monstrous wolf came upon us, it was about to charge at veronica, but then I just had to catch its gaze. Shit it was going to gut me. It turned its head took a deep sniff, walked right up to me, veronica did nothing probably waiting for it to attack. As I thought it was going to maul me it sat down panting and wagging its tail like a puppy "What the actual fuck did you do Elliot" she said really exited she started to move around it as if inspecting it, the wolf's eyes never leaving me "Elliott what are you waiting for, go to it. I think I know what happened but god, having one of them would be great … I knew I made the right choice to partner with you" she smiled and looked into my eyes again I started to melt again

"what could go wrong"
