Elizabeth knew she was asleep, but, paradoxically, knew that if she knew she was asleep then she couldn't be asleep, right?
Her heart was racing. That certainly wasn't something that had happened when someone was sleeping. She was ridiculously excited, so much so that she knew there was a wet spot already forming on her tight pink thong.
She had suspected he would come tonight, had even shaved in preparation, but she wouldn't admit that to him. Not like she could.
She opened her eyes, feeling his presence in the room. Frozen in sleep paralysis, Lizzy watched helplessly as the shadows in the corner next to her dresser condensed on the ceiling, dripping down like tar.
She saw an obsidian-black, shadowy arm creep out of the void in the corner, followed by a mouthless face dotted with two blazing red eyes.
She gulped in fear and anticipation, or at least tried to.
He pulled himself out onto the ceiling, creeping toward her as if gravity were reversed. When he was directly over her, his neck started to elongate and his head swiveled as it lowered towards her. The sight was so terrifying that she might have pissed herself if she hadn't hit the restroom before going to bed. His red eyes grew larger as he approached. She blinked-- and he was gone.
Something weighed down the front of the bed. She felt her silk sheets being slowly pulled away until they fell in a heap somewhere out of her view. Seconds passed.
Her heart thumped in her chest and she heard a raspy breath next to her, its warmth caressing her ear. When her eyes darted to look, nothing was there.
She heard an ethereal whisper waft up from the foot of her bed, "Lizzy..."
The lock to her bedroom door clicked, not that it mattered; she lived alone.
She blinked again and suddenly he was on top of her, his shadowy face centimeters from her own. She gulped, pulse racing. He fed off her terror, but little did he know about the twisted thrill she felt from his absolute domination.
A black slit opened in his face, revealing a shark's mouth of sharp, red teeth. Two prominent fangs stood out at the front like he was some sort of vampire.
He breathed out against her frozen cheek, shuddering in ecstacy at the fear in her eyes.
His long black tongue snaked out of his inhuman face, licking her from the collar of her thin cotton shirt to her eyelid. It felt slimy and left a sticky residue on her flesh.
"No, go away. You're not real," she said inside her own head, projecting it mentally.
The creature's head stretched out, dipping into the darkness of her bed and surfacing on her other side, its soulless eyes staring into hers as it dragged a clawed hand across her shirt, leaving light scratches on her skin even through the fabric.
One of its clawed hands grabbed her inner thigh, naked up to where her skinny thong was. She tried to scream, but her voice wouldn't work. The creature nearly went crazy at her attempt, black saliva spilling out either side of its mouth to splatter onto her face.
She was so wet she feared the aroma of her sex would give away her true feelings, but the creature didn't seem to notice as it pulled her shirt up and over her face, exposing her bare stomach and small tits.
Blinded by the shirt, all Lizzy could feel was a claw placed between her breasts, slowly dragging down to her pelvis. It snagged on the lip to her thong, sending a thrill through her body.
Lizzy tried screaming again, putting all she had into making the sound, but only the slightest of whimpers escaped.
The bed around her dissolved into a pool of shadows, leaving her floating in the horrifying black pond. Her shirt was pulled the rest of the way over her head, bending her arms up and over her so they laid on the shadow above her.
The creature was gone, but she felt its sticky tongue along the side of her waistband, then slid up into her open armpit.
The sensation was torturous in its white hot intensity, almost painful.
Gasping in short, panicked breaths, Lizzy felt her juices dripping down into her crack.
"Tasty tasty toy..."
The creature's arms wrapped around her exposed, heaving chest from behind, emerging from the pool of shadow.
It's head emerged behind her right shoulder, fangs bared.
"NO, PLEASE," she screamed out inside her mind, egging the creature on. Its fangs penetrated her flesh, at the same time freezing cold and burning hot inside her.
It sucked as it bit into her, not consuming blood, but the stench of fear coating her body.
