" She waited for me to speak, but I maintained my silence." She waited for me to speak, but I maintained my silence. I wanted to get away from her, but she was so much stronger than I was and continued to hold me tightly. "As I have said before, I can not change what we are. I can only offer my guidance, myself, and my love in exchange." She waited again, but I was still quiet, trying to appear disinterested. Victoria knew that I was listening. She whispered, "Please... Do not reject me. I would not survive." She lowered her mouth to my neck and bit me. Her bite was gentle, but deep. She buried her fangs completely in my neck. At first, I did nothing, but as my blood flowed into her, I responded with reluctance. Soon I was caught in the torrent of emotions that filled her blood, and my return bite became more eager. I tasted Victoria's desperate need for me. Surrounded by her longing, I realized how lonely we both were. She was rescuing me from my guilt. I was her savior from an eternity of solitude. We fell asleep, clinging to each other for dear life. The next day, shortly after sundown, I concentrated on bringing Jennifer to me. The necessary preparations were in place. After a couple of hours, the world's newest vampire arrived at our front door. "Master, I have come to your call. What is your wish?" "Please come in, Jennifer," Victoria spoke. "She can not enter our home without invitation," my fiancee explained as Jennifer came in the house. Victoria sponged dirt and crud off Jennifer's face. I blinked at Jennifer. She was even more beautiful than she had been in life. Her transformation had enhanced her natural beauty. There was something... Victoria brought the first of our preparations out. Jennifer saw the young man. Her eyes turned red immediately. "Come to me." Her voice was commanding, yet seductive. The man walked to her, his eyes searching hers' for something only he could see. She wrapped her arms around him and bit him. It seemed such a natural action for her, as if she had been doing it all of her life. I watched in fascination. "Stop her, David! We do not need more vampires!" Victoria yelled, interrupting my fascination. |
