Fangs

They try to protect you, but sometimes they fail. You know what happens after that?You die together. PROLOGUE -Thirst- It’s raining, which means that Victor had been out too late. Not exactly uncommon for him, but it’s harder to find food. Victor was so thirsty that he didn’t mind getting soaking wet, though, So when he arrived at the stop and shop he went straight to the frozen section. He figured it would be easier to find his prey inside than out on the street at the moment. His hair hung wet clinging to his face and his clothes were drenched. If he was still alive he thought he would have been freezing right now. He took a deep breath, his nose was filled with a sweet scent of vanilla and cinnamon, making him feel more calm. The store was almost empty; he could easily take someone without anyone noticing. As he got closer to the entrance he saw a woman behind the counter. She wore a bright yellow dress. Her dark skin was drenched with rain, he watched her enter the small grocery store and shake out an umbrella, which obviously did not work.’ She will do’ he thought, thirst burning through his body making his fangs ache. Victor walked around keeping an eye on the woman while pretending to shop. He was shoving random items in his hand-basket that he picked up from the entrance. When the woman started to head towards the front counter to check out. He did the same standing directly behind her taking in her scent. Her blood smelled so sweet. The victor’s mouth began to water.He didn't think he'd be able to resist. “I need to buy this.” Said the woman putting a bottle of water and a few other things on the counter. “Sure thing.” Said the cashier, pushing buttons on the older register while swiped her card. He took out a plastic bag’ the words thank you covered the front followed by a big yellow smiley face. Victor waited patiently as he placed the groceries in her bag, then at last handed her an unreasonably long receipt. Finally she walked out the front doors and the victor turned towards the man behind the counter “Hi and how are you this evening sir? How can I help you?” asked the cashier cheerfully, turning to face him he looked directly into his eyes “ I was never here you never saw me or the woman before me, understand?” I told him using my mind to bend his will. He nodded his head in a kind of trance-like state, then I dropped my basket full of items right at the front of the counter to pursue my prey. She stood slightly to the right of the doors next to an ice cooler fighting with her umbrella. “ Excuse me, love? Do you need some help?” asked victor, honey thick in his tone. Trying to appear nice and caring while still being in control of his hunger. The woman jumped at the sound of his voice, but recovered quickly and turned to face him with a smile. “ No thank you, I’m fine. I’ve almost got it” “ Are you sure?” said Victor, his voice lower than normal because of his desire. “ Yes,” she answered. “Well I’ll leave you alone then. See you later love” said victor turning to go when suddenly the woman called out to him “ wait!!!” she yelled to me when I turned to leave “okay maybe I do need help” she chuckled , clearly amused. Victor stopped, and smiled at her, “ Of course darling. I’d be more than happy to help” he replied smoothly and gracefully. He held out his hand and gestured for her to give him her umbrella. She handed it over to him and he pushed it open without much effort .“Thank you” she said, sighing like she had been holding her breath. He raised an eyebrow at her and gave her a wink. “ I should be thanking you darling,” he whispered to her. She blushed and he stepped in front of her blocking her path. Victor gave her a warm smile so as to not seem like a threat “ Well miss it’s quite late. Would you like some company as you walk?” Victor asked with a smirk giving her his 100 watt smile. She seemed as if she would just melt. She looked him up and down licking her lips provocatively “ the name’s Annika handsome and I would love the company” . She was trying to be seductive. He found it to be quite funny and he stepped off into the night with her.

Victor pov As soon as we passed the edge of the building I grabbed Annika from behind covering her mouth and nose dragging her into the side alley. She fought and struggled in my hold to get out, I held onto her tighter and pulled her farther into the darkness of the alley. She kicked her feet at me but it was futile as he possessed super human strength. I could smell her fear and the blood pumping through her veins, while she begged for her life. I smirked evilly and ran my tongue across her neck “Shhhhh hush love this will take only a moment” Victor hissed in her ear. Annika was screaming and clawing to get from my hold on her. I put my nose in the crook of her neck inhaling the sweet scent of her blood. Her pulse dances as my fangs slip out painfully from my gums, this was my favorite part. Biting deeply into her large neck vein, the erotic feeling of her life blood flowing into me made me feel drunk. Annika had stopped fighting an
