Sweet Taste Of Blood:
Chapter 1

 

He raised my head to face his, those dark brown eyes met mine slowly. He stared deeply into mine not saying a word. I kept my mouth shut. I had already made one mistake and tried to escape. I wiped the blood from my mouth. His eyes were coated in thick beautiful eyelashes, and covered with a light pair of shades. His thin lips curved lightly. My eyes traveled around his face, hoping to keep my mind off… well off of what could happen within seconds. His messy brown hair waved around his head so perfectly. I couldn’t find a physical flaw in him. He was skinny, but it matched him perfectly. Behind me stood another male, a shorter male then the one in front. In front of me stood a man a rough 5' 10” and behind stood a 5’ 6” male… only 6” taller then I. His dark round brown eyes fit in his round face. His curly brown hair was about shoulder length and held tight to his head. They were both very beautiful people.

“Come on sweetie, don’t resist us,” the voice behind me said slowly, brushing his hand through my hair.

Their bodies were so close to mine, I could feel them as they took each breath. It was almost impossible for me to breath, or better yet… move. I shuddered at his touch. The man in front continued to stare at me. I shifted my eyes away; I couldn’t move my head away… he still had it in his grasp.

“Don’t look away, you know you don’t want to,” the man in front whispered quietly.

I stood motionless. I couldn’t even figure out how I got here… with these strangers.

“I smell the fear on her AJ,” the male behind me said, I felt his face draw near to mine.

“So can I, I also smell another smell Howie,” AJ said.

Atleast now I knew their names, but smell… this was getting even freakier. I pulled my head quickly from his grasp, but within seconds I felt Howie’s hands holding both my arms. Tight enough for me not to be able to move, but loose enough not to hurt me.

“You’re NOT going anywhere,” Howie insisted whispering into my ear.

I could smell their cologne. So calming and so sweet, but I couldn’t even begin to think calm thoughts.

“Well I TOLD you that I AM going somewhere!” I insisted, trying to free myself of his grasp.

“Feisty,” AJ said walking in a circle around me. I suddenly felt naked, remembering what I was wearing. It wasn’t that big a deal, but now it was. I wore my dark blue jeans, knee high boots, and a really short and tight top that tied in the back. Smart. Just smart. My burgundy hair was let loose, shoulder length, and fell into my eyes. I blew it away, trying to concentrate on something. Anything.

I felt Howie’s arms release me. I quickly spun around facing him. He backed up quickly, but not too far back.

“Now THIS is going to be fun,” AJ said rubbing the palm of his hands together.

“No fun. Fun BAD. I LEAVE!” I said backing slowly away. I’d hope that if I backed far enough, they wouldn’t expect me to run and leave… or atleast there’s to wishful thinking. Then again, thanks to these boots, running is what got me caught in the first place, and a bloody lip. I moved my hand over my mouth. It wasn’t bleeding as much or as bad, but it still was bleeding. I looked up to notice AJ licking his lips. I hope that’s because he has dry lips, I thought.

“Come on Danielle, DON’T resist us,” Howie said.

“I’m going to--- wait HOW did you know my name?!?!” I said frantically.

He held up a piece of paper… a letter from one of my friends that I had in my pocket. My hands quickly moved to my pockets. I traced the outline of them, it felt like everything else was there. I suddenly got sick in my stomach.

I took a breath, “WHEN did you get that?!” I tried to sound as confident as possible.

They laughed.

“Don’t worry, we wouldn’t do anything like that--- while your unconscious. We got it not too long ago… you were only unconscious for about 10 minutes… then you woke up and you know the rest,” AJ said.

I wrapped my arms around myself.

“Don’t worry he said,” Howie said.

“How do I know you’re not lying?!” I asked.

“Look at yourself. Think hard. C’mon, you’d know,” AJ said.

I thought, “Yea but—“ I started.

“We didn’t…. not yet atleast,” Howie said.

I was doing a lot of backing up, and getting sick of it. I quickly ran towards the doors… which stood right behind them. I ran dodging between where the two stood. I was almost at the door, and in a flash and blink of an eye AJ stood in front of me, knocking me to the ground with a thud.

“Ahhhhhh, ouch!!” I yelled.

AJ sighed, “You’re NOT going anywhere sweetie.”

He crouched down and was eye to eye with me. He leaned forward, and took his finger along my bloody lip, wiping it away. He then stuck his finger in his mouth.

“OMY, that’s GROSS!” I said disgusted at his actions.

He licked his lips, “No it’s not. It’s my way of life,” he said raising one of his eyebrows above his shades.

My jaw dropped, what were they--- cannibals???

While I thought about it, I didn’t even notice he had removed his long black coat until I looked up to face him again. He was still crouched down, but now he had a tight black tank top on, revealing many tattoos that covered his arms. His shirt hung slightly over his blue baggy pants. He had also taken off his shades, revealing those beautiful eyes. WHAT was I THINKING? This MAN has me KIDNAPPED, and I’m talking about how BEAUTIFUL he is!!

I was on my butt with my hands sprawled out behind me holding me up. He leaned in and traced his fingers over my face. My eyes started to shut, but were quickly awakened when I realized where I was. I started to scoot back as quickly as I could. I was stopped when I felt someone behind me. I turned my head around and saw Howie standing there.

“You know, I think I’ll leave you to your little game, for now. I have to see how the guys are holding up,” Howie said. He bent down to my level.

“Don’t worry, be calm… struggle if you must, it’ll just hurt you more that way… or might be more entertaining,” he said. He was directly in front of me… not leaving much room between us. He leaned in toward me and kissed my lips gently. He stood up and then walked gracefully out of the large room I was in. I stood at the door for what felt like hours but were only seconds. My face was cupped; I turned and saw AJ holding my face, again.

“LEAVE me alone,” I said jerking my head away.

“C’mon, you know you don’t want me to,” He said leaning closer. He was on his knees now, he had his hands reaching out again. I raised my hand to slap his face, but it was blocked and caught with his left hand. I sat up and reached the other hand out to slap him, but he also blocked and caught THAT hand with his right hand. My legs sprawled in front of me, I twisted.

“Uh-uh, mustn’t play naughty,” AJ said quietly.

He crawled over me and had his face in my face, “Not unless you want to that is,” he whispered.

I jolted my knee into his family jewels. He pulled back and bent over in pain, “AHhhhhhhh…” he started, but couldn’t say anything between his growls and hiss. I started pulling myself back. I turned, and started to crawl quickly away. I tried to stand but something had my ankle. I turned and saw AJ lying there holding my ankle. I went to kick with my foot, but he grabbed it with his other hand. He quickly turned me over.

“Ouaaaaahhh,” I said thudding against the cold and hard tiled floor. He moved his knees over to hold my legs down and moved his hands over and held my hands over my head. I twisted, but couldn’t move.

“I KNEED you in your—“ I started.

“Yes, and I’m not at ALL thankful for that,” he said. Within seconds that beautiful face revealed two sharp pointed fangs and his eyes looked like cat eyes of a bright yellow.

“Omy—WHAT are you!?!” I yelled.

He leaned in and pressed his face next to my ear and whispered, “You know what I am… I’m what you thought never existed, I’m what you read about in all your books… I’m what you always wished were real. I’m a vampire my dear… a vampire.”

I gasped, “How did you—“ I started.

He looked back at me, “I have my ways. I’ve had someone follow you. Learn about you. I didn’t know it was YOU, but now I know who you are. The one I’ve heard about.”

I couldn’t believe was I was hearing. He rubbed his face against mine, and breathed in slowly.

“Still that fear,” he purred, “Don’t be afraid. Nothing I do will hurt… hurt you for long atleast. And not intentionally.”

I winced at his touch. I’ve been violated. By someone I knew. By this stranger. How did I get myself INTO this position???

I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping to make it all go away. Silence. No sound, no movement. Maybe it worked? I looked up and saw AJ staring at me. Not saying a word, not making a move. Those eyes… those beautiful eyes of his. I closed my eyes again, mustn’t look. IF he is a vampire, I know too much to fall for something THAT easy… I heard an evil laugh above me, I looked and saw AJ laughing.

“I wasn’t going to hypnotize you if that’s what you’re thinking. I know you know most of those tricks, and I know you’re not stupid. Besides I want you to be fully conscious during all of this,” he said still holding me down.

“You sick—“ I started.

“Uh-uh, no name calling either,” he said snickering.

I looked around the room as far as I could. There was a huge black canopy bed, with green vines hanging around it and black sheets. There was a huge mantelpiece with a mirror, an antique probably. The door was arched, and the walls were of dark wood. There were candles everywhere, the only thing keeping the room lit. There wasn’t much else in there. Great a bedroom. And I don’t even WANT to know how I got here. There was little to no way I’d make to the door. It was about 15 feet away… and with his speed… and I had no idea what was on the other side of that door.

“So you like it?” AJ said looking around.

“What?” I asked.

“Do you like it? You’ll be here for a while,” he finished.

I couldn’t take it anymore, “GET OFF ME YOU CREEP!” I said turning and trying to fight him off me. I couldn’t move my arms or legs.

“What did I say about name calling?” he said. His grin crept upwards, it was so evil, yet… so enticing at the same time.

He quickly stood up and in the same quickness he lifted me up. I was in his arms before I could even notice what he was doing. I felt the air beneath me when he threw me, but I landed on the softest sheets I’ve ever felt.

“Oh no, uh-uh!” I said turning to crawl, but again he was too fast for me. He had me pinned.

“I’m NOT liking this game!!” I said frustrated.

“Oh, but you will soon enough,” he said just before his lips met mine. He kissed me quickly, and gently. And then just stared at me.

“Tell me, tell me you did not like that… just that preview?” he said seductively.

I didn’t say a word. I’m sure he knew if I lied, and I couldn’t say yes to him. His touch… no matter where I was… I enjoy his touch. But that’s impossible. I should still be scared out of my mind. But I’m not THAT scared anymore.

“You don’t have to answer, I don’t smell that strong fear anymore,” he said and paused.

My eyes got wide, “What?”

“BUT I do still smell fear… it’s so tasty,” he said.
