I've always been different. I could never just blend in with everyone else. So I decided to accept myself the way I am and embrace my strange unusual ways. I guess that's how I got caught up in all of this. I worked at a darks arts boutique, blending herbs, assisting with seances, and cleaning the shelves. You know ordinary stuff. The last night I was finishing up my cleaning for the day and a very tall man in a black trench coat walked in. He brushed off some snow that was on his shoulder to the floor. What an asshole. I just cleaned the floor. "Good evening sir, let me know if there's anything I can help you find." I put on my best fake smile to hide my distain. The man doesn't reply. Instead he turns around and locks the door! My eyes are wide with confusion. What does he think he's doing?!?!? "Sir! You can't lock the door! I'm going to have- " The man takes long fast strides towards me. I back away stumbling into a chair, knocking it over and tripping over my own feet. I land on the ground, hard, taking my breath away. Gasping for air I try to dodge the hands that are reaching out towards me. "I've been watching you for some time now." He grasps my shoulders and positions his body over mine. Pinning me to the floor. "Truly, I want you for myself but I believe master wouldn't be too pleased with me if he found out. Being that I'm supposed to save the best for him." Master? And he's been watching me? This is so disgusting. "One bite wouldn't hurt. Well, it will hurt for you." I'm in shock. I try to speak but nothing will come out. He's leaning into my chest, making my breast press into him. He's rubbing up against me. Something hard is sliding on my stomach. A devilish smile creeps onto his face. Oh no, he's going to rape me. Suddenly the man's expression changes "Next time you won't be so lucky. I will have my fill of you. Just wait." he whispered in my ear before he got off of me. He proceeded to dust himself off like nothing happened. The lock on the door clicks over and the door opens. Yet another man walks in. "Ah, Vladimir! Have you pitched the idea to the young lady? Hello Ms! Oh heavens, why are you on the ground? Did Vlad give you a fright?" The other man seemed to have a more polite manner about him. He looked at Vlad with a skeptical glance. You could see the wheels turning in his head as he pieced together what had just happened. "The master is not going to be happy when he finds out about the mess you made. Look at the poor girl! Shaking and won't even look me in the eye. What do you have to say for yourself?!?!" Vlad rolled his eyes "Come on Simon, just look at her! You know I can't hold back on something that looks like that. Every nerve in my body craved her the minute I could smell her! Give me a break." Vlad sneaked a peek at me while Simon had his backed turned and rubbed his chin. Figuring out how to proceed. "Wha- what do you want from me? He said you've been watching me for some time now. I-I don't understand... " I just need for them to leave. Please. Please just leave. Simon couldn't hide his sullen frown. He looked at me in a way that made me feel as if I wouldn't ever be free again. "I am so sorry my dear. I didn't wish for things to happen this way. As you probably already know, we are vampires. We work for Alexander. Our job is to seek out suitable blood servants for our master. You just so happen to be his type. Given the environment you surround yourself in we believed you would come willingly." He can't be serious. I don't want to go anywhere near vampires!!! I've had nightmares about them ever since I was little. I've done extensive research on how to ward them off (which obviously doesn't work because theirs two of them standing in front of me!!!). "What do you mean come willingly? Where would we be going to?" Vlad decides to pitch in "We can't tell you where. Our home is hidden and no mortal is allowed to know of it's where about. Now hurry. We must be on our way." He walks out into the snow. "My dear, Vlad is correct. We are behind of schedule. We must be taking our leave now. You will have everything you need at the castle. The master is waiting for you, Ms...?" "I'm Veronica..." "What a beautiful name. Well Ms. Veronica, after you." Simon holds the door open for me. I get hit with a gust of wind, chilling me down to the bone. Simon catches my scent on the wind. "Oh my, you do smell wonderful. If the master doesn't take a liking to you maybe I could...." His gaze darkens with lust filled eyes. A shiver goes down my spine and I gasp. He breaks his wondering eyes away from me. "Right. Let's get you to your new home." There's a black SUV sitting in front of the shop. Vlad is sitting in the driver seat and pops the trunk. "I'm so sorry about all of this." Simon picks me up and in the back of the car lays a open coffin with chains and a pad lock. "No!!! No!!! Please!!! I-I-I-..." I try to slow down my breathing so I can convey what I'm trying to say. "I-I can't breathe in small spaces. Simon-" I grab onto his jacket and try to seduce my way out of this terrible situation. "Please, Simon... Can't I sit in the back with you? I'll be good. I promise. I'll keep my eyes covered the whole time-" I hear Vlad jump out of the car "Enough of this!" he yanks me out of Simon's arms and tosses me into the coffin. Closing the lid with a loud bang. The chains are rattling and the lock clicks in place. Vlad takes one more jab at me before he walks away "See you in five hours."
