A Fragile Looking Human

The thunder crashed and roared angrily in the clouds. Leah was roaming aimlessly in the woods, muttering to herself. She didn't know when she came out this far, she had been so angry and didn't even realize when she walked this far into the woods. She was completely lost under that heavy rain, in the woods.

She got to a particular tree that looked familiar, and realized that she had walked past that tree four times already. The rain wasn't even helping matters, it was making it harder for her to see clearly with the already darkened clouds.

After some time, Leah decided to stand under a tree since her legs were hurting from walking for hours in the rain. She had been weak to cold weather since she was young, and her entire body was shaking badly.

Her lips had even gotten numb from the cold. As Leah shivered under the tree, which did nothing to prevent the rain from falling on her, she hugged herself tightly. Perhaps if she hadn't let her anger get the better of her and had thought more rationally, she wouldn't be in this mess, Leah thought to herself.

'Achoo!' She sneezed, which caused her to feel slightly dizzy. She shook her head to clear the dizziness and resumed walking.

Suddenly, she heard a heavy thud behind her. She spun around to see two men standing a few steps away, and upon closer inspection, she noticed that they were Vampires, evident from their bared fangs. Her eyes widened as they started striding towards her. She stumbled backward and ended up tripping into a puddle.

....

Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Lucius was boiling in anger and completely drenched from his search for Leah. He had searched the entire mansion and even gone into the woods but couldn't find her.

Everyone was gathered downstairs, including the council members.

Alexander was busy trying to calm Lucius down, who was shaking Lolly vigorously, as she wept for an answer about Leah's whereabouts.

"I gave you one simple task. To stay with her. So what the hell were you doing when she went missing?" Lucius roared at her.

"I'm... I'm sorry, master," Lolly cried even harder.

"Come on, Luc," Alexander tapped his shoulder. "Just let the poor girl go. She doesn't know where Leah is. People are already looking for her; they'll find her soon." Alexander tried to reason with him.

Lucius left Lolly, and the girl stumbled away from him. He turned to face Alexander, with an even deadlier aura.

"There are wolves out there. Do you really think those wolves won't find her before we do?" Lucius snapped at Alexander.

Grace, who stood with the others, was also boiling with anger, but for different reasons. She had been expecting to spend the entire afternoon with Lucius since it was raining and cold, but the insignificant human had ruined her plans. She noticed that Lucius had been distant towards her lately, ever since he brought that human to the mansion.

Grace narrowed her eyes at her own thoughts. She wouldn't let another woman take her place. She was Lucius' woman, and that was final.

"You don't need to worry about the wolves attacking her," Samara reassured.

Andrea nodded, agreeing with Samara.

"She's right. They wouldn't come out to hunt in this heavy downpour," Robert added.

"Even if the wolves do kill her, we can still arrange a proper place to bury her remains," Grace said nonchalantly, as she examined her nails.

The other women's eyes went as wide as saucers. "Grace!" Anastasia glared at her.

Lucius's head snapped towards Grace's direction, "What did you say?" he asked, his eyes looking deadlier than death itself.

"Um... No...Nothing," Grace stuttered fearfully, already regretting her words.

Lucius was about to move towards her, but Alexander grabbed his arm, stopping him from taking any step forward.

"Let it be," Alexander whispered to him in a hushed tone. "Robert and Francisco are watching, so get yourself together."

Lucius pulled his arm away from Alexander's grip, his eyes going in the direction of the three council members who were obviously waiting for him to make a single mistake. He couldn't risk getting an extra month of restriction from the council for bad behavior, so he calmed down a bit.

A massive man with a throat slightly bruised barged into the room through the main entrance, almost immediately.

"We found her," the man announced, catching everyone's attention.

Lucius spun around to face the man, his desperation evident in his voice. "Where is she?" he asked.

"She's in the other building, sir," the man replied.

Lucius passed Grace a cold glare, making her shiver with fear. "We will talk later," he said before leaving with the man, accompanied by Alexander. Alexander did not forget to take an umbrella since he had no plans of getting drenched. The sound of the rain hitting the pavement filled the air as they made their way towards the other building.

....

In the other building, Leah stood in the midst of vampires, glaring at each of them, who were giving her dirty looks that made her cold skin crawl. Her top and skirt were sticking to her body, revealing most of her skin since the top she was wearing was very light, and her skirt was equally short. The rain had soaked her clothes, making them cling to her curves, accentuating her slim figure.

"She's quite a pretty little cat, isn't she?" a male vampire with a shaved head asked the vampiress standing next to him, as his eyes feasted on Leah's pale, exposed thighs. She shuddered and wrapped her arms around herself, feeling vulnerable and exposed in front of these lecherous vampires.

The woman smirked dirtily. "She sure is," she replied as she remembered how Leah had given them such a hard time in the woods. She had gone berserk and attacked them mercilessly, even injuring some of them in the process. The vampires had been caught off guard by her strength and agility, they had never expected a fragile looking human to be that strong.

"It wouldn't be such a bad idea if we took a few sips from her, would it?" she commented, her smirk widening to a smile.

Some other vampires chuckled, obviously liking her idea. Their eyes gleamed with hunger as they looked at Leah's exposed skin.

Another brown-haired vampire glared at the others, his eyes flashing with disapproval.

"Have you all lost your minds. She belongs to Mr Valdez." He reminded them.

"There are three Mr. Valdez," the woman said with a hint of amusement in her voice.

"And if my memory serves me correctly, Lucius already has a woman. We all know that he doesn't keep more than one woman in the mansion, and Alexander wouldn't bring a brunette here. He doesn't spend more than one night with them." She licked her lips suggestively.

"So that means she belongs to William, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind if we took just a few sips." She added in a hushed tone.

"Don't be silly." The brown haired man warned but she chuckled instead, unbothered by his warning, and started advancing towards Leah.

Leah, still trembling from the cold, narrowed her eyes when she noticed three of the vampires who had been intensely staring at her now coming towards her.

"Hey, sweet little cat," the vampiress said when she got to where Leah stood, the smirk on her face sending a chill through Leah's body. "You wouldn't mind if we take a drink from you, would ya?"

Leah's eyes went wide with fear, but before she could even react, one of the male vampires grabbed her, holding her tightly while the another one held out her wrist for the woman.

"Let me go!" Leah yelled at them, but they totally ignored her.

"No. I don't want to drink from here..." She ran her fingers along Leah's wrists, up till her neck, while Leah trashed to get away from them. "I want it here." She tapped the side of Leah's neck as her eyes turned red and her fangs elongated.

Her idea seemed to excite the other three male and even some other few vampires who weren't even participating as their eyes turned red too and a few of them fangs elongated.

The brown haired man who had spoken before eyes widened. "Have you gone mad. You can't bite her there."

"Well watch me," the woman replied and sank her fangs into Leah's neck while Leah let out a sharp scream.
