The demon smiled as he sunk his pearly whites into the soft flesh of her creamy neck. This one had been so easy, almost as though she’d invited him. Things had not been the same lately. There had been rumblings, people were becoming cautious, vigilant and he’d had to lie low for a while, not take unnecessary risks. Meat from the cold storage and pigs blood were no substitute. He had gone hungry for many days and this had been a sheer stroke of luck. He had entered the night club in his usual unobtrusive manner, sat at a table in the corner, looked around and spotted her almost immediately. How could he not, she was dazzling. And her eyes! Her eyes met his and after that didn’t to leave his face for a moment. She had a steady level gaze. He walked upto her – ‘Do you believe in destiny ?’
She laughed – ‘Whose are we talking about now, yours or mine ?’
‘Ours because the stars above say they are entwined.’ He replied
‘Hmmm...The stars above have no idea what’s in store for you.’
What a woman! It was almost a pity ……. and she was definitely interested in him. Though that was not really surprising. He hid his fangs and age (all of 485 years) well behind a handsome, unlined face and very blue eyes. As these thoughts went through his head he bit deeper into her neck and his heart raced with pure joy. And then something happened … Images flashed before his mind – images of Salvatore Ferragamo bags, Jimmy Choo shoes…. Why was he thinking about these things now? The latest sales at Macy’s, oh and Bad Hair Days!! No, no, no. But he couldn’t stop himself. Something was very wrong… He didn’t feel like devouring her any more. What he did feel like was a cup of hot soup and a foot massage or even better a wonderful luxurious back rub
WHATWAS HAPPENING TO HIM???! He lifted his head and caught the look of amusement and was it disdain(?) in her face and her eyes.
She smiled, ‘Enjoy being a woman.’ His last thought as he let go - She truly was dazzling.
