Blood Thirst : Part 1

  Maria glanced over at the edge of the parking lot,

  there must have been two and a half thousand people. Big concerts always seemed to bring in a large crowd especially in small towns. The majority of the people attending had to be somewhere between fourteen and seventeen. It was a humid night leaving them a valid excuse to wear the least amount of clothes they could pull off without being in trouble for public indecency. She could smell the teenage hormones. She could taste the need of lust, and the saltiness of nervous perspiration thick in the air. She smiled internally, “Tonight should be an easy hunt.” she thought to herself. The crowd was a good cover, and the young age of it would leave her in complete control of an unexpecting prey. Younger crowds always seemed to let lust overtake them easier than older individuals. Leaving them with a weakness for her to prey on mercilessly. They seemed to be highly drawn to her. Coming to her like a moth to a zap trap. With them end up being encased in mindless ecstasy not seeing her as dangerous until they realize it's too late and darkness takes over leaving them drained.

  Maria spots a teenage boy about sixteen on the edge of the parking lot. He was smoking a cigarette, and nobody else was around him. Maria looked him over. He stood at 5'10 with some freckles covering his cheeks. His hair was short and dyed black with red on the tips of the spikes he used too much hair gel on. He had green eyes, and a small line of black eyeliner outlining it. He didn't have much muscle tone, leaving him looking lanky and uncoordinated. He wore all black, and the only way you really would see him was the light faintly coming from the cigarette.

  She walked over to the loner on the side of the parking

  lot.”There's a reason why humans stay in groups subconsciously, but you must be too much of a rebel to care.” she spoke to him through her thoughts. The boy didn't sense the danger approaching him, if he had and moved to a safer area he might not be in the path of the most dangerous predator in probably thousands of miles. She caught his scent though the slight breeze as she approached closer,”Mm, virgin.” she could smell the purity coming from him, not yet tainted by sexual activity. Her mouth began to water, and she took the last few steps and bumped into him lightly. He jumped a little, and she smiled,” Oh I'm sorry, didn't mean to scare you. Just noticed how alone you were over here in the dark.” she teased biting her lip.

  The teenager boy looked Maria up and down. She looked to be in her mid-20s. She had thick wavy brunette hair that reached just above her breasts. She had on a tight top, to maximize her already 38DD breast size and tight midsection. She was a perfect hourglass. Her jeans hugged her hips tightly, not leaving much to the imagination. She had a sunglow tan, and a scent that you could never put your finger on, but it left your head spinning and dizzy for more of her. She came off as innocent, but there was something about the gleam in her eye or the twitch of her smile that left you feeling like she was up to no good.

  He found himself laugh nervously and wiped the sweat

  off his hand before he went to introduce himself properly. He reached out his hand, to introduce himself,” I'm Aaron. Thanks for the concern, but I think I could fight off the boogie man if he attacked me.” he joked to Maria. She laughed at the irony of his statement, not realizing he was about to be her latest victim, and she thought of herself as a lot scarier than the boogyman.

  Maria leaned in closer to Aaron tilting her head a little as she smiled wide.

  “What I don't understand is why you're over here so alone when you're so cute. I saw you from across the parking lot, and I couldn't help myself in coming over here and talking to you. You have something about you that I can't help but resist.” she had cast her charm over Aaron and he wouldn't be able to resist her advances anymore. It was too late for him.

  She leaned in more and started kissing his neck.

  Aaron leaned back entrapped with her spell of ecstasy and allowed her to continue without any struggle.

  She knew at this point he was in complete ecstasy. His brain was spreading the endorphins from the lust he was receiving from her. She was built for this, another way of hunting. A more chemical involved one, that didn't require her to run after deer sprinting in the woods. This way of hunting made her more dangerous than any predator most could think of. She glanced at his face, his eyes were glazed over entrapped by the high. She was so close to finishing him off, but she liked to play with her food too much, and this particular time it cost her.

  A young blonde female in a tight black dress came up behind Maria and grabbed two handfuls of her hair pulling her back off of Aaron.

  Maria turned around disoriented and angry and

  slapped the girl hard. She hated being prevented from feeding, and this girl might as well been punching an alligator. People are always underestimating other people's abilities, and that is dangerous. Especially in underestimating what she could do. It didn't help that she had an issue with anger she couldn't seem to get a handle on.

  'What do you think you're doing?” she screamed at the girl.

  “No bitch, what the fuck do you think you're doing? That's my boyfriend!” she screamed back with anguish. Aaron didn't appear to be in a daze anymore and backed up a little in shock at the commotion in front of him.

  'Sierra this isn't what it looked like.. I was just..” he stuttered trying to come up with a valid excuse for his infidelity. 'Shut up Aaron!After this bitch, I'll beat the shit out of you!” She screamed in rage.

  Maria looked around surprised there wasn't a crowd around them, it appeared that the concert must have started and everyone was inside enjoying the night. She turned back to Aaron's girlfriend who you could tell

  was trying to decide what action to do next. Maria stepped up to her and grabbed her neck, picking her up off the ground.

  The girl looked terrified and was struggling to take in a proper breathing. Maria knew she could easily bend her in half like a toothpick, but she had her own way she enjoyed hunting. The erotic way, where she could entrap her victim. She was so close to feeding and on a virgin! She was furious and decided to just kill them, now that her hunting game had been messed up. She loved the hunt, and normally wouldn't take such dramatic measures. But she had been so close to feeding, and this blonde girl had to come and so rudely interrupted.

  Maria tightened her grip on the girl's throat until she went limp. Throwing her to the side, she took a step towards Aaron who was shaking furiously and seemed to be in watching in complete shock and horror. She smiled again at him seeing him in this weak

  state,”Too bad for you I'm not the boogie man, huh? ” She laughed medically and his eyes widened with fear. She reached over to his neck with two hands and

  quickly snapped it.

  Maria glanced around to double check there wasn't any

  witnesses and found nobody occupying the area. She put her teeth into Aaron's throat while his blood was still warm, and feed on him. She felt full, but not satisfied. It never tasted the same when their blood was tainted with fear, but his girlfriend had to interfere and ruin her evening.

  Maria threw the now drained corpse on the ground and walked back to where she had parked her car in the parking lot staying in the shadow's to not get questioning glares from people who may walk past her.

  She shivered as she felt her body rejuvenate as the new blood was being introduced to her system. It would give her the appearance of youth, and give her strength to easily hunt in the future. She liked to stay where her body wasn't craving it, but she didn't like to overindulge on it.

  Maria reaches her car and pulls out her keys.

  She feels someone behind her and has a good idea who it is. She keeps playing his game, pretending like she can't feel him come up behind her. She grabs her knife out from where she keeps in in h
er jacket, preparing herself.

  Turning around to face her pursuer, and she finds herself face to face with her ex-boyfriend Victor. She presses the knife against his gut.

  Victor smiles at her,”Maria, I see your combat skills are still as sharp as your wit, and beauty. It's nice to see you too.” he jokes not appearing concerned at the knife pressing against his gut.

  Maria glanced Victor over.He appeared unchanged since the years ago when she last saw him. Standing at 6'2 with a muscular build, it looked like he was always at the gym in his free time. He was tan, like her and any beach advertisement would want to stick him right on the cover. He had brown eyes, that always seemed to be taunting you even when everything should be serious. He was the one who Maria had fallen in love with and became who she was today because of. He was her first love, and she hated him. Every inch of him.

  He continued his taunt “Though it does appear, you ate dinner without me. What a shame. You were never one for manners though, but what matters is we are here together now.” he was toying with her. He knew she hated him, and always toyed with Maria like she was a harmless mouse, instead of the dangerous predator she really was.

  Maria snorted harshly, she pressed the knife further into his gut. Making blood start to gush.

  Victor appeared amused at her and pressed himself more onto the knife. “This would be threatening, and all. Except for the part that we both are immortal, and don't die..” he reminded her mockingly enraging her further.

  She put the knife all the way through his torso and pulled the blade quickly to the right until it came out of his side. Blood was flooding out of his torso, and they both stood there watching as the wound reclosed itself and the blood slowed down until it stopped completely. Victor signed,” I was hoping you would let this experience be a little more, I don't know, pleasurable for us both?” he teased sexually as he leaned in to try and kiss her. She pushed him away, completely rejecting his advanced. “ I think we both know that's not why you're here Victor.” she hissed angrily at him. Victor straightened himself up and appeared to be remembering something. Pain filled his eyes, and a seriousness came over his face. He took a deep breath and faced Maria so she had to look at him while they spoke.

  “We are being hunted, Maria. There is a group that has developed whose goals are to kill every last one of us. It wasn't taken seriously , but there has been reports of mass killings of cults. I know you roam alone, but you are still in danger. I wanted to warn you, because I would not wish the kind of death they give on even my greatest of enemies...and , I am here to ask for you to rejoin the cult with me. You would have more protection.” he explained slowly so she could fully understood what he was saying. What he was asking. Maria looked at Victor to check how serious he was. His demeanor seemed to be no longer of jokes, and his eyes lacked the taunting laughter that normally filled them.

  She shook her head,” I would rather die brutally a thousand deaths than to stand anywhere near you again.” she spat at Victor. She was full of rage, and it had not been a good night so far.

  She turned around and unlocked her car door, and got inside the driver seat. Victor tapped on the window, and she rolled it down.

  Victor leaned down to her level from the outside of the car, he looked sad. Maria didn't think she had ever seen him so vulnerable, and it scared her even if she didn't want to admit it. He took another deep breathe and lowered his voice“The leader of this group,Maria...The group who is trying to end what me and you are...it's William...”
