Charlotte
came awake
with a start. She
wasn’t sure what woke
her and she tried to think about it as she listened to the ceiling fan
make
it’s unstable rotations.
As she listened
in the darkness she began to realize that she was not alone in the
room. Becoming frightened she
tentatively reached
for the lamp beside her bed. With
the
light on she found herself blinking against the soft glow trying to get
her
eyes to work. As
her night vision faded
she saw a man standing beside her bed looking down at her.
Clutching
her blanket to her Charlotte
inhaled to scream but found she
couldn’t breath.The
man beside her bed
reached out for her face and as she backed away. She soon found herself
pressed
against the headboard.With
nowhere to

cheek whispering “shhhhh…” to
her.

calmed although she couldn’t figure out why she should.
Breathing came to her
again.Her mind
raced with fear, but it was like she
couldn’t hold on to it long enough to act upon it.After a few
moments of him
stroking her cheek
she looked past the arm to see a young man, in his mid-twenties,
looking back
at her...

Vampires... Yummy.
This story has a couple of chapters completed so far (5 last time I
counted) . It's general synopsis is about a human servant who
falls in love with a mortal woman and then she catches the attention of
the master vamp.
In this story I am working on some new ideas (at least I think they're
new) about relationship between vampire and human servant.
Digging in a little into their relationship and the rituals
that bind them together.
I have hopes that this story will be long enough to stand alone.
I guess I'll have to see about that once I get it done.
