Halloween has always been a festive time for the residents of Blair Bluff Estates. It was one of the few times that the entire addition participated in the events. Kids could go door to door trick or treating, and the adults gathered at someone's house for a large block party. A few years back, the high school and college students started having a party of their own. Usually it involved some form of cloak and dagger type adventures to add to the fun. This year, Brenda, a senior in college, set the theme: Vampires vs. Vampire Hunters. This meant that either you went costumed as a vampire, or you wore your own costume and were a hunter. The residents thought it was a great theme, rules were set, and sides were divided.
Sonya had decided on a costume way back over the summer, so in keeping with the theme, had chosen to be a hunter. She was a junior at the same college as Brenda, but kept her distance. Brenda was a cheerleader, and a sorority member. She demanded attention and usually got it. Brenda was large and athletic, standing five foot eight and weighing around 140 pounds, with dark brown hair and eyes to match. She was an attractive woman with a dominating personality. Sonya was almost her opposite, standing at only five foot, four inches and lucky to weigh 110 pounds. But what made Sonya steer clear of Brenda was her other features. Sonya had light blonde hair and ocean blue eyes, a trait that most of the men on campus craved. She was also well proportioned, drawing glances from most guys, no matter what she wore. Brenda, though well built, was lacking in the sensuality that practically oozed from Sonya.
Up to the Halloween weekend, Brenda had bumped into Sonya a couple times and made a few snide comments, which were ignored. Sonya was not involved in real sports, she worked out infrequently, and had nothing to do with sororities. Unknown to Sonya was her popularity on campus, based entirely on her looks. Brenda despised it and tried to spread rumors that Sonya was gay. This backfired when the lesbian population warmed up to Sonya and many men set about trying to convert her to the straight and narrow, or at least get her back into "bi" status.
Sonya had decided before coming home for Halloween that she was going to drop a jealousy bomb on Brenda by way of her costume. She had found it accidentally on clearance at a novelty store. It was a superhero costume made of vinyl that fit her like a second skin, zipping up the back from tailbone to neck. It was lavender and white, and came complete with a lavender cape and spandex gloves. The costume also had a tacky mask, so she replaced it with a silver headband. Sonya purchased a pair of white knee high heeled boots to complete the outfit. If anyone asked, she would have mental powers as her superhero abilities. Sonya figured that no matter what Brenda would wear as a vampire, the comments concerning costumes were going to have Sonya's name in it to make her mad. She figured it would be worth the trouble of squeezing into the costume.

It was now around 9:30 and the hunt has gone pretty well. Sonya, and a few high school friends had managed to slay a dozen vampires using super-soakers loaded with "holy water." The people removed from the fight went over to Max's house to partake in the "deadman's" party. Max always has his parent's house set up for the major party following the events of the evening.
Sonya and company were making their way over to the Danner estate, which they learned was the hideout for the vampires. The Danner place was huge, with a patio large enough to be a dance floor and a pool in back. The pool even had a pool house that was used as a changing room, or a guest room for summer time visitors. The last victims they "tortured" before sending them into the next world confessed that there were still around a hundred or so vampires partying at the Danner estate. Sonya looked back at her team. She had a cop, a gypsy dancer, and a cyborg warrior as her backup. Tony, the cop suggested that they split up and try to take down some of the vampires that might be distanced from the rest of the group. He referred to it as midnight sniping. Jenna, the dancer wasn't following his idea very well, so Sonya suggested that Jenna and herself would sneak around back and possibly make a distraction. Tony agreed and the two teams split up.
Making their way to the back gate wasn't hard and the girls hadn't encountered any of the bad guys yet. Both girls looked the area over. They could see a few of the vampires out dancing to a loud techno song, but most of the view was obstructed by the pool house.
"Let's go in up to the edge of the pool house, spray the dancers and run out to where Tony and Jim were going to hide." Sonya suggested.
"I really don't want to go in there." Jenna said. "Every girl they have captured was sent to Max's with a hickey on her neck."
"I know, a supposed vampire bite." Sonya wasn't thrilled about that either. "How about you go in and spray them down and I'll guard the gate door?" asked Jenna.
"Yeah, that will do," Sonya agreed after a moment's thought.
Sonya pulled open the gate door and slipped in. She snuck up to the corner of the pool house and peered around the corner. There were around twenty or so vampires out dancing, and a few sitting at one of the patio tables. Sonya stepped back, primed the super-soaker, and then stepped around the corner and began to spray everyone she could. After a few seconds she started to hear various, "What the�" and "Where is that coming from?" It was soon followed with motion from the dry people along with shouts of, "There she is!" and "Get her!"
Sonya turned and ran for the back gate as about ten vampires took up pursuit. As she closed ground on the door, Sonya yelled for Jenna to open the door. It didn't happen as she reached the door, so Sonya figured on shoving it open. When she tried, the door would not move. She tried again and still it wouldn't move. At that time she heard a feminine muffled cry of protest followed by stifled laughter from more than a couple people. Sonya tried one last time and the door budged an inch. She heard a male voice whisper some profanity and brace the door. Sonya tried again, but was stopped short when a number of hands grabbed her all over and drug her away from the gate door and to the ground. She was pinned to the ground on her stomach with both hands forced behind her back. She tried looking around, but she could only see legs all around her. A few seconds later she felt the metal of handcuffs closing over both wrists. She knew that this could not be a good thing.
The vampires stood Sonya up and half guided and half dragged her over to the back doors of the house. As they came up to the doors, Brenda and a few of her friends stepped out to greet them. Brenda was dressed in leather pants and a silky white blouse. She was wearing black heels and a lot of make-up to make her look like a vampire. She looked at Sonya and just smiled. Brenda turned her attention from Sonya long enough to tell the men holding her to take Sonya to the pool house and tie her up, she would be out in a few minutes to check up on her. With the instructions given out, Brenda dismissed them and went back into the house.
The two men picked Sonya up by her arms and legs and carried the heroine to the pool house. Inside they pulled a wooden straight back chair out from the table and sat her down in it, pulling her arms over the backrest so they would be behind her back and the backrest. Another vampire joined them. It was a female dressed similar to Brenda, which Sonya recognized as one of Brenda's sorority sisters. She held a bag in her hands which she turned upside down, allowing the coils of rope to fall out. Each man grabbed a coil of rope and positioned themselves beside her.
"Be sure she can't escape," the vampire chick said. "And the Mistress wants the girl's legs tied to the back legs of the chairs."
Each guy grabbed the ankle on his side and started looping rope around them. Once the rope was knotted off the legs were forced back to the sides of the chair and tied to the rear legs on each side, causing Sonya to sit up straighter to alleviate some of the stress building in her thighs. Once they were secured to the chair legs the men started about tying her to the chair. Sonya's knees were tied to the front legs by the seat. Her upper torso was secured to the back rest, with rope going above her breasts, and below her breasts. They looped rope around her waist and tied it to the back rest. A rope was tied to the single connection chain link on her cuffs and ran down to the crossbar between the rear legs of the chair. The finishing touch was looping rope around each arm above the elbow and connecting them together with about six inches of separation, and then fastening the ropes to each side of the backrest. Their job complete, the men and the woman stepped back to admire their handiwork.
Up to this time Sonya had remained quiet and was just about to say something when Brenda walked in and dismissed them. She was carrying a small plastic bag with something concealed inside it, which she set on the table behind Sonya. She then wandered up to the drapes and pulled them across the patio doors. They were now alone.
