The last time I was awake I was just a young boy and my people were under attack. The Vampire hunters who were complacent until now suddenly launched a coup and killed my father.
My 'dear' queen mother, enraged launched a full-blown attack on the humans causing the Vampire hunters to back down. We were more powerful, we were more ruthless. The moment we took innocent humans as hostages, the Vampire hunters backed down.
An alliance was formed. The Vampires were tired of this world and wanted to retreat. Completely vanish from the human world, back to the realm of monsters from whence they came.
There was once a time when we coexisted. We protected the humans and helped cure diseases by sucking out the tainted blood, and they provided us with blood and entertainment. What an innovative beings humans used to be, always creating interesting trinkets. A delight to witness.
But then the power struggle began which soon became a war of the species.
My mother negotiated with the hunters. Vampires decided to leave the human world completely, and only a few stayed. I was one among them. My heart was given to the leader of the hunters as a truce. As a promise, we would never attack them again.
Only a few days later I witnessed the extent a human would go to ensure their supremacy.
My heart was cut up cruelly and consumed by the leader of the humans. Humans and their endless delusions, consuming a vampire's heart does not make you strong, does not cure illnesses, it only reveals you as the vile creature you truly are.
Instead of dying, I fell into a deep slumber. The Goddess saw how unfair my fate was and decided to keep me alive.
Two hundred years later I woke up. Servants surrounded me and Henry, the trusty butler brought me up to speed. The leader of the Vampire hunters was cursed by God. Every man born in that family will live a short life. And until a girl is born in that family the curse shall prevail.
After 200 years, the family finally produced a female child. This girl was my heart. If anything happened to her I would die along with her. We were bound by fate, we were mates.
I thought I would awaken when the girl was just a baby. I could have confined her, maybe manipulated her, and kept her under my thumb easily. But seems like fate had different plans. She was a fully grown lady by the time I was woken.
I loathed her but I could not help but be drawn to her. Her very being could give me solace. I needed to be in close proximity to my heart for my anxiousness to go away.
Every day without her being by my side was excruciating. I could not find her, I had no lead to follow and when I least expected it, I found her.
Her shoulder-length brown hair perfectly framed her round face, her cheeks were red and brimming with life, and her eye colour matched her hair. She looked like a warm person, I was someone who hadn't experienced the Sun in years yet right here before her, I felt like I experienced true sunlight, so warm and so full of life.
I've seen numerous ladies back in the day. Adorned with jewels, precious metals, and the finest silks but none seemed to compare to her in her most simplest form.
The scent, the gaze, the voice everything took over me. I yearned for her presence, I was addicted. It hurt me so much that I felt disgusted at myself for wanting a woman this much.
One thing a Vampire can't have is too much wealth. We are sinful creatures, lust, pride, greed... We embody these.
I was able to buy information about her, her likes, her dislikes, everything about her. I am a demon, I admit it, when I found out she had no family I was overjoyed. I can be the only one she could depend on.
If I ruin it with my impulsiveness perhaps she could never trust me.
Looking at my long hair I got an idea. To blend into modern society I had to shorten my hair anyway, and what better way to introduce myself than making her groom my hair?
My eyes followed her figure the moment she entered my manor, she looked like an innocent doe I liked to hunt back in the day. First impressions are long-lasting and I decided to make a powerful one.
She took a few steps, and I could finally look at her clearly. It was a delight to watch her when I knew she couldn't see me because of the lack of light. The way her eyebrows scrunched, or the way she pursed her lip. It made me want to kiss her right then and there.
Her scent was incredibly attractive, she had no idea about the dangerous situation she was in. If I had lost control I do not know what would've been left of her. I had to practice restraint and control my strength. Again, I am a demon, but she is so delicate I had to change my ways.
Since I am practicing such restraint I can reward myself when the opportunity presents itself. And it did. She stumbled while trying to get away from and I took full advantage of the opportunity.
I was able to hold her soft body against mine, were women's bodies always this soft? I could feel her hot breath on my neck. My restraint was hanging by a thread. The lights turned on in time stopping my impulses from taking over.
I did not want to stay in the shadows, I wanted to pursue her and attain her, and to do that she must be aware of who I am first. She is a smart girl, I'm sure she can figure out that secrets should be kept.
After she left I found myself going to the room she was in, her scent lingered in the air and I couldn't help myself. I could feel the desires burning in me. How long could I last? I do not know. It's best to get under me willingly before I lose all control.
I gave her the night to calm down. I could not sleep, my dreams and thoughts were filled by her, and I wished I was occupying her mind that night as well.
It was midnight when I found myself driving my car at the highest speed possible with her house as my destination. It was late, she was probably still sleeping. I decided to sneak in.
Just as I expected she was sound asleep. I observed the surroundings and saw dozens of ramen packets. Was she surviving off of these? That won't do. Seems like I need to bring about some changes.
Her small house was otherwise tidy. It's been hundreds of years since I last tasted blood, the urge to bite her was growing. Her scent was just so alluring.
Without much thought, I got into bed and scooped her up in my arms. Her neck was right in front of me... Just one bite- NO.
Her scent was enough to calm me down. It had the ability to stir the desires of my body and calm down the mind. I couldn't believe she hadn't woken up yet. I am thankful she didn't. I had time to enjoy this moment for much longer.
"AH!" Her loud yelp awakened me. She tried to push me away and get out of my embrace but I held her firmly.
"YOU!"
She was looking right up at me, her hair still messy, her face flushed with anger. I pressed my forehead against hers. "What about me?"
I could feel her temperature rise, was it because of anger? Or was she blushing?
"What are you doing here? I already told that old man I won't reveal your secret!" What a pity, she turned her face away, we were no longer forehead to forehead. Taking this chance I buried my head in her neck. I could feel her struggle to get away from me, but soon enough she accepted her fate and gave up. Her scent was so addictive I could stay in this position for an eternity.
"Tell me Lyra, when we first met did you feel anything?"
I could feel her breath quickening. She was a girl who had never been in love or touched before, and she was reacting quite honestly. It was a delight to know I was the first one to see her like this, to feel her like this, and to experience her like this.
"I- I did not feel anything. Get off of me right now!"
"Lyra~ you are lying. You are such a little liar. At least your body is honest." My hands ran up and down her body, her little gasps as I touched her sensitive spots were drowning me in pleasure. I could not wait to completely eat her up, but there was still time for it.
