I stood there, damn near in shock. My scream was lodged in my throat. I felt like such a pussy, but this was no average five-foot-something, one-hundred-something pound chick I was dealing with here. She was dangerous. Subconsciously, I considered my options: If I screamed, she would fucking kill me. If I kept quiet, she would fucking kill me. If I ran, she would catch me and fucking kill me. If I stayed put, she would fucking kill me. "Shit! I'm gonna fucking die!" I thought as I finally accepted the inevitable.

It was very unusual for me to feel anything but the aching pang of hunger when I was preparing to feed, but this time, I felt almost sympathetic toward this man that I was about to drain dry. He stood there, pulse going wild, contemplating whether or not to make a run for it. I have murdered a vast amount of humans over the last eighty-nine years and felt nothing but pure satisfaction. Why did I even care? Sure, in the beginning, it was hard to end someone's life, but when it comes down to it, it is either the death of them, or the death of me, making those 'soft' feelings short-lived.
Subconsciously, my body grew rigid, preparing to attack. He then gave a hopeless, pathetic sigh and slumped his shoulders. The peculiar gesture confused me, causing me lose my attack stance. Embarrassing. I stood up tall and looked into his beautiful grey eyes.
"Are you not going to run, Keegan?" I asked, taking a few steps toward him.. He, in turn, taking a few backwards. He shook his head, "What's the point? Either way, I'm gonna die. Why run?"
"Are you not afraid?" I asked, impressed by his rationale. He shrugged, "I'm scared shitless, but what options do I have? What's the point?"
I walked over to him slowly, leering into his eyes. He was absolutely beautiful, even in the midst of his apparent demise. He smelled sweet. He smelled of life. I wrapped my hands around the back of his neck and brought him down to my level. He was so warm, yet he barely had any reaction to the frigidity of my skin.
I couldn't do it. As I neared his jugular, I felt his whole body tense up in anticipation of pain. I retracted my fangs and planted my lips on his neck for a kiss.
His looping thought of: "Shit.Shit.Shit" soon turned into "What the fuck"?
I continued to cover his neck with kisses, covering the tops of the exposed tattoos: it was the next best thing. I felt the blood rushing through his vein directly under my lips. I was starving and began to feel physical pain as the result. Shortly after the pain, I felt vibrations coming from his neck. He was moaning! Humans! An extremely hungry vampire is sucking on his neck and he moans?
I did not understand why I was being so masochistic at the moment but I could not get enough. The excruciating pangs shook me to the core, involuntarily, my fangs extended. It was time to make a decision.
"Go!" I yelled, releasing my grip on his neck. I wanted to get him as far away as possible to avoid murdering him. "Leave now if you want to live!"
He then grabbed my face with both hands and brought me in for a kiss. With the wound on his lip still fresh, I sucked, trying to get the blood to flow freely again without biting. I succeeded. He continued to try to kiss me as I drank his blood. His fingers ran through my hair, pushing me deeper into his kiss.
The pain subsided. I felt great. "Thank you," I said, truly grateful for his generosity.
"No. Thank you for not killing me," he said with a small, sexy smile. He grabbed my waist and kissed me again. "Now, where were we?"
I looked at him, confused. "You still want me? Even knowing what I am?" He nodded, "Monster or not, you're fucking hot," he chuckled at his own rhyme. I would never understand humans, it was hard to believe I was one once.
"Well, in that case, you were going to take me home with you," I said with a smirk. He offered me his arm and I took it. We continued our trek to his house as though we were normal, a man and his female companion instead of a Vampire and her would-be lunch. I wondered who this man was and what would be in store for me at his home...
