It was around 11:30, midnight was approaching fast. I was on my fourth date with Grayson and we had quite a bit to drink. I was buzzing but he didn't seem at all inebriated. He looked handsome as ever. Was definitely a man who cared about his appearance. But not in a pretentious manner. I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
He suggested we walk out in the woods that was just behind the apartment I lived. We took a trail across a small bridge, into the lovely nature. The moon just peaking through the creamy clouds.
Although it was cold, my body felt warm from the sake I had. Grayson seemed a bit preoccupied but the farther we walked the more he started to relax and open up. Sometimes it seemed like he was waiting for something.
I joked and wrapped my arm around his, "Seems like a good place to hide a body."
He stopped dead in his tracks and turned to me with a sharp stare that cut into me.
"Exactly. You guess it right, doll"
He grabbed above my elbow and pressed it over my head against a tree. He's never been aggressive before but I felt a tingle travel all the way down. It must be the alcohol. I wanted all of it. We have kissed before but nothing more than touching faces. The moon revealed itself and his determined face. I swear I saw a hint of crimson in his eyes. Maybe I just convinced myself it was a car in the distance.
His long black hair with waves like painted brush strokes slipping it's way forward as he pressed his slightly cooled lips against mine and explored my mouth. Normally I wouldn't be so promiscuous with someone I didn't truly know, hell, I didn't even know his address but he had me under this spell. My body was like a magnet to his, wanting nothing but to be in his control. He continuously touched my neck, almost obsessed over it. He lifted my chin and nuzzled underneath. I felt his breath which was strangely cold as well.
And then he bit me.
Not just a tug of skin or a suction that leads to a hickey. This was a bite that went deep.
There is no way I was this drunk. I knew I felt fangs dig into my flesh. I was paralyzed.
In all of my young adult life I have never felt this. It was an emotional and physical rush all at once, like the best orgasm of my life. I didn't want him to stop but at the same time I could feel myself blacking out which was a bit scary considering no one knows where I am. I gasped and he pulled his head away quickly and I collapsed in his arms.
"How do you feel?" He holds me with no effort as my head is buried in his chest.
"That was.. different. What did you do?"
He cups my chin to force eye contact with him.
"I made you mine."
His eyes were blazing. Like a small fire growing in size. I try to catch my breath and hear a noise rustling in some nearby bushes. Not a rustling from a rabbit or fox but something BIG.
I felt a chill come over me. Then in an instant I felt a presence behind me. I see Grayson covered in shadow and I turn my head with little energy I have. In replacement of the tree is A WEREWOLF!
That is the only description for this creature. It was straight out of a storybook. Over 7 feet tall, slick steel gray fur with hints of silver, hands that were not quite human, claws exposed. Onyx eyes with a cloudy film and a full set of fangs, all the while salivating onto the dirt, ready to devour whatever crossed it's path.
So it was. I was just bit by a vampire and about to be eaten by a werewolf.
My fear was so strong but after the bite I just felt more intoxicated. This would be a hell of a story for my journal if I did get out alive.
Grayson, if that even was him name, strokes my hair and pushes it away from the wound. He looks up at the beast and smirks.
"Alright my pet, just as I promised, you can have my leftovers"
HIS LEFTOVERS!? My heart started pounding but the adrenaline alone wasn't enough to make my legs work. I was just stuck.
