The night had been ravishing. Tell-tale escapades of bachelorette women. Leah and Aphrodite had devoured an entire club and were enjoying the reaction of the media from the comfort of their king bed.
They squirmed and giggled at the astounded expressions of crime scene investigators, officers and reporters on their flat-screen. "Worst slaughter this town has seen in centuries."
Chortling, Leah and Aphrodite caressed their captive, a blonde runner who simply wasn't fast enough.
"What's a college girl like you doing at a club on a school night?" Aphrodite teased.
The girl didn't move. She lay still, pretending to be dead from the bite marks on her neck.
"We know you're not dead. We can smell your life." Leah said, her voice weighted with boredom.
Whimpers escaped the girl's mouth as she futilely resisted bawling, burrowing her face further into the white comforter to muffle her cries.
"She asked for your name." Aphrodite said, pushing the girl.
"Elise!" She cried. Her fear chilled the room, but Aphrodite remained indifferent, even as Leah wriggled uneasily.
"Can we eat her now?" Leah asked.
"No! Don't you want to play?" Aphrodite scowled. Her incontestable grimace whipped wickedly.
Leah twitched and shuddered in response to the physical and emotional pain of irritating her master. She couldn't stand it anymore. Leaping to Elise, her teeth scraped the girl's skin.
Elise howled and writhed before them.
"Play nicely!" Aphrodite shouted. "I want to keep this one.... I can't believe you turned all those men."
"Excuse me?" Leah bolted upright, catching Aphrodite's gaze.
A moan erupted from Elise, backlash of vampire venom.
"Shut up! I'm having an argument here!" Aphrodite slapped Elise's ass, evoking a small terrified squeak from the poor girl.
"You hoard all these men in our castle." Aphrodite said, her voice laden with woman's passionate sentiment for feeling unappreciated.
"I don't sleep with men! Not even when I turn them. I thought you'd want them." Leah's mouth dropped in awe at what was happening. Is this dispute for the sake of having intellectual stimulation?
"What do you mean I'd want them?" Aphrodite bit.
