Description
Vampires. Every time I hear that word my world trembles. They had destroyed my lover and my daughter and I had been helpless to stop the senseless slaughter. The beasts hadn’t survived once my change had overtaken me but the damage had been done. With their powerful black blades, that constantly dripped blood, they carved bloody roses into my chest and arm. The scars lingered as a reminder of my failure as a mother and a lover.Remembering such events causes my lungs to cease taking in precious oxygen and the world begins to shake beneath me. Even thoughts of my beautiful daughter with her silver hair, lilac eyes and beautiful baby face, make my soul cry out in such agony. As my soul duty and punishment upon myself, I fight and survive in a world gone so wrong. I swear to kill these bastards that took my life and they will see me dancing upon the graves of their brethren as they rot inside their coffins… Death and blood will be mine.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The darkened dance club happened to be the perfect place to find blood sucking vampires. What male wouldn’t go to a club in the middle of St. Paul, Minnesota? The beasts couldn’t just go on the street and pick up any random prey. They had done it too many times and were caught, most of the time by me. Clubs and bars were all they had left.
Inside the club, people danced; men and women, women and women, men and men. What worried me though, as my eyes scanned the crowd was the number of teens within the club. Some were doing drugs in the corner, some having sex right on the floor. Unprotected sex, I might add. Underage teenagers. Did clubs just let anyone in now? Soon it would be children! Outrageous. My blood boiled at the thoughts. The smell of Pot, Coke, LSD and other drugs that police didn’t know about yet, lingered on the air and caressed my nose. I swayed slightly. Having a sensitive nose didn’t always have its perks. I rubbed my eyes and looked around again. My gods. Who ran this place? The bartender continued to serve shots, beer, and oddly colored, frothy drinks to these young innocent dancers.
My black eyes lit upon my prey. To all the unsuspecting humans, this male looked like a handsome human male with dark hair and dark eyes. Just beyond those smiling lips concealed deadly fangs as poisonous as the black blades of blood he carried beneath his coat. His illusion didn’t fool my trained eyes. For a thousand years I had hunted. They cannot trick me.
The vamp caught me staring and our eyes met for what seemed like hours but could be a few seconds. I saw fear widen his horrid gray and red eyes. Good, prey should always be scared of a half goddess on their tail.
His eyes told me that he needed to hunt. In the dim light of the club, no one would know but me. Who did he hunt? The drugged teens that wobbled as they danced? The lone teenage girl in the corner hoping no one would notice her awkwardness?
Unfortunately I wasn’t the only one to see her. The vamp had seen her and despite my being here, he still wanted to feed. I saw him blur into her direction and I ran after him. I couldn’t blur but I still ran fast, jumping onto tables to get to them faster. No one noticed though, my jumps feather light, not even the drinks rippled. I heard the vamp’s words before I could see them.
“Hey sweetheart, lets say you and me go into the back room…” His husky voice could only be heard by the girl and me.
“S-sure,” the dark haired girl said.
I heard his dark chuckle and then I burst through the crowd with profanities following me. An empty corner met my eyes.
“Shit,” I whispered softly and with feeling. I blinked and my eyes turned green. Tracking eyes. I saw the two heat trails and followed, picking up speed as I jumped on the tables and shoved people out of my way.
Their trail led to a door that I knew led to a private chamber where couples could go in and get cozy. I slammed my shoulder into the steel door. The locks broke and I rolled inside, the door crashing to the other wall.
Something cut my neck. Ignoring the sting of blood I turned to the only piece of furniture in the room: the bed. The girl lay chained to the bed, already naked, with a rose carved just above her left breast. Quick. The bastard had to be quick. The vamp stood by the side of the bed, bloody knife in one hand, still clothed. They both stared at me with horrified eyes.
A growl rose in my throat and he echoed it as he went on the defensive. My nails elongated into deadly green claws and my own poisonous fangs emerged. Our eyes began to glow as we sized each other up. Then we circled. He paused for a second to grab the knife embedded in the wall after it had sliced past my neck. He licked the blood off the blade, grinning.
“You’re going to die, Aniu,” he hissed through dripping fangs. One of my eyebrows arched. He knew my name already? Smart puppy.
“Whatever, you sick, demented bastard,” I hissed back. I hated when they used my name.
“Look who’s talking, Shape-Shifter.”
“That’s Ms. Goddess to you, blood whore.”
He lunged for me, knives cutting through the air. I leaped back and swiped at his chest. He howled and back away. Bloody ribbons raced down the front of his shirt. He snarled at me and swung a blade at me before I could see it. The deadly blade hit my shoulder and threw me back. The knife pinned me to the wall and I gasped in pain.
The vamp chuckled. “Got you now, bitch.” He rushed me and shoved the other knife into my unharmed shoulder. I cried out against the pain. His face came so close I had trouble seeing him clearly.
“I’m going to carve your flesh into ribbons and lick the blood from the wounds as you scream, then I’m going to rape you until you beg for release. Then I will drain you until your body becomes a dried husk. Long, slow and painful.” He licked my lips and cheek as he ground his erection against me. “Never fucked a goddess half-breed. Should be fun.”
I remained quite, unmoved. His lips moved back toward mine and his eyes closed. I kneed him in the groin and he crumbled to his knees, wheezing and cursing. My hands wrapped around the blades embedded in my shoulders and pulled them out. While the vampire tried to recover, I put the blades against his neck.
“You’ll pay fro this Aniu. The Great One is coming and you will perish.”
My eyes met with his, both glowing ominously. I didn’t know who this ‘Great One’ was but I still said, “Good.”
His head went rolling to the floor…

Aniu... wondered when she was going to be coming back. I love reading about her and this looks to be a very interesting story. I loved the descriptive nature of your works. Though I'm not really fond of 1st person, you did a really wonderful job on keeping me intrigued as it progressed. Keep up the good work!
