My First Encounter With A Vampire

I still remember how it all happened. It was one ofthe moments I will always remember for the rest of my life, nothing could take this memory away. I still remember every single detail as if it was still fresh in my mind.

I was a local writer for a paper in a small city town in southern Washington. Nothing big ever really happened, so there was never really anything to write about. So needless to say my boss sent me to some small southern town all the way out in Georgia. Yes, you heard me right, Georgia. There were a string of murders that had happened and strange things I guess had been going on. My boss figured if I got a really good story that maybe we could start selling our papers to bigger cities.

I had just arrived in Mystic Falls, a small town in Georgia. The kind of town where everybody knows everyone. There was a nice cool breeze and you could hear the leaves scraping against the pavement as the wind brushed them against the ground. The leaves had already started changing colors. It seemed like this town was built back in the 1800’s. You could still see all the old buildings still standing. It really was a beautiful town. But there was just something about this town, I just couldn’t figure out what yet.

I went to go check in to the local hotel. I was walking down the street looking at all of the tiny shops, I could smell pie as I was walking and taking in all of the scenery, I didn’t see what was in front of me.

“Oh, my gosh I am so sorry!” I accidentally ran right into a young man. He looked about twenty-five. He had dark black hair that was somewhat shaggy that laid lazily on his head. His dark eyes could pierce through anything. He was in a black leather jacket with a matching black top underneath. Dark blue jeans with a pair of sleek black shoes.

“Oh it’s quite all right. I wasn’t paying attention either, do forgive me.” His voice was almost hypnotizing. Dark and low, it made me want to know him. I couldn’t stop staring into his eyes. “You aren’t from around here,” he said with a quizzical look on his face.

“Oh I uhm, I.. I oh I am from Washington. I am here to write an article.” I could barely talk, I was so taken by him. What was it about him that made him seem so powerful?

“An article? On our town? What is so intriguing about our town that they would send you all this way?” His face was smooth as he talked.

“Oh just, well the recent murders. My boss wants me to cover that story, he seems to think we can expand our customers with this story.”

His face changed as I said this. “Oh yes, quite tragic. Did you hear what actually happened to them though? What the cause of death was?”

My chest was beating fast, I could hardly think. “Well tomorrow I am supposed to go and talk to the coroner.”

He simply looked at me and nodded. He opened his mouth to speak again. “Well do forgive me but I must be on my way. Perhaps I will see you again sometime soon.”

I looked away because I could feel my face was all flustered. “Yes perhaps..”

As I turned around I realized that he was gone. I sighed and kept walking towards my destination. I checked into my hotel and retired for the day. Tomorrow was going to be quite a long day for me and I needed my rest.

* * *

Today was the day. I was going to head to the coroner’s office and then go talk to the police. I needed to get this article finished. I had a dream about that guy last night. I wish I could have gotten his name. I couldn’t stop thinking about him. In my dream, I was walking along a beach and he just kept following me from behind. All I could see was his eyes though.

I shook the thoughts out of my head and continued along my way. I needed to concentrate. I saw the office out of the corner of my eye.. I walked into the building and looked around. It was a dim lit and looked very sulky. A plump little man popped out from around the corner. “Yes may I help you?”

He looked really tired and sounded like it too. “Yes, I am Jessica. I was sent down here from Washington.”

“Oh yes, you are here to do the article, all right follow me.” He turned the corner and I hurried to keep up with him. “I hope you have a strong stomach.”

He opened the doors into the morgue and I followed. There were bodies all lined up on the tables. My stomach started to knot up. “Okay well biggest details are that there are wounds in the neck and the body is drained of blood.”

I gave him a weird look. “What do you mean drained of blood?”

“Well there is no more blood in the body and the only open wounds on the body are the two holes in the neck.” I looked at the bodies and I could see the holes he was talking about.

It seemed like hours before I finally got out of there. I decided that I would talk to the police tomorrow. I was tired and worn out. I just, I can’t believe what I had heard about those bodies. Drained? Of all their blood? What had happened to all the blood? Who could do such a thing? My mind was racing. I needed to calm down and relax. I decided to hit up the town bar.

I debated whether or not I should go back to the hotel and change, but then I decided what I was wearing was just fine. I was in tight blue jeans with a brown top and a light white coat. I walked into the bar a little tiny place called the Mystic Grill. I could use a drink. I sat on a stool right up front.

“Can I get you something?” The bartender asked me.

“Rum on the rocks please.” I took a look around the bar while waiting for my drink.

“It’s good to see you again.”

I turned around. It was him. The mystery man I dreamt about. He was wearing the same striking outfit that he pulled off yesterday, but a different colored shirt. It was white and matched his dark colored pants.

“Hey, I was hoping to run into you again!” I said it before I could think and I could feel my face turn red. I didn’t want him to know that I had been thinking about him.

He let out a tiny laugh, “Oh don’t worry I was hoping to run into you too.” He sat down next to me and ordered a drink. “How about a toast?” He said looking right into my eyes.

“Sure, a toast to what?” I said, my chest started pounding again.

“Hmm, how about a toast to, you.” He took a sip of his drink.

I followed and took a gulp of mine. I let out a tiny giggle. “Why a toast to me?”

He smiled, “Well we don’t get many visitors in our town, especially beautiful ones like you.” I could feel my face blushing even more. “How about we get out of here and go for a walk?”

I smiled and replied, “I would love to.”

He held out his hand and I reached out to meet my hand with his. “By the way, my name is Damon.”

Damon, what a name. “I’m..”

“Jessica right?” Before I could even finish he answered for me.

“Yes, how did you know that though?” I was curious how he knew my name.

“Well when you live in such a small town news travels fast.” He let out a laugh and continued laughing. I held onto his hand and followed him out into the dark night.

“So how is your article coming along?” He turned to look at me as we walked against the pavement along the lit up streets hand in hand.

“Well I have started gathering information but I haven’t really started writing anything yet. Kind of creepy though about what happened. I have no idea how this article is going to come out.”

He turned to look away. “Well, they are drained of blood and have puncture wounds in their neck, what do you think happened?” He asked me with a curious tone in his voice.

“I really have no idea.” He all of a sudden darted into another direction. “Follow me, I want to show you something.” Up ahead I could see a forest, a path leading into the dark woods.

“We aren’t going in there are we?” I asked nervously. “No worries, I will keep you safe.” He held onto me tighter and we entered into the forest. We followed the path to a clearing. The field was lit up by the stars above. It was completely beautiful and romantic.

“It’s so beautiful,” I said as I looked up at the stars.

“Yes, I love coming here. It helps me take my mind off of things.”

I turned to look at him, “So, what do you think happened to those bodies?”

He gave me a weird look. “That is quite the change of subject. I don’t think you want to know what I am thinking.” He poured out a small smile from his lips.

“Well of course I do!” I looked at him waiting for his answer.

His lips opened. “Vampires.”

I laughed and put on a smile. “No, I am serious.” I kept laughing. He turned his head towards me and his eyes glowed dark. I felt a sense of fear start to possess me. His lips pursed open and I could see fangs glistening in the moonlight. Dark veins etched against his soft white face. I let out a scream and made a run for it. I didn’t know where I was going I just knew that I had to get out of there.

“Where are you going?” His voice was teasing. He appeared right in front of me. I turned and ran the other way, running as fast as I could, trying to keep my feet moving. “You aren’t going to be able to get away.”

He jumped right in front of me and grabbed me by my arms. I struggled to get away. I could feel his power glowing from him. He was like no other man I had ever seen before. He was a beautiful mystical creature possessing me in the night. His eyes were so dark, I felt myself being lost in his gaze.

I let my body loose and fell into his opening arms. He held me close and looked into my eyes. Speaking to me. I don’t know what he was saying. It was as if he was speaking in a completely different language. I could see his fangs just behind his lips. I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up, shivers running down my spine. He put his hand on the back of my neck as if to calm me.

He looked into my eyes, he leaned in for a kiss. I let my head lean in and I laid my lips upon his. I felt a fire roar within my chest. I was floating, I couldn’t feel my feet on the ground. I was completely taken by his kiss. I could feel his tongue teasing my lips. I stood there both of my hands down by my hips. His body was against mine as he kissed me. He placed one of his hands against my face as his tongue slid in and out of my mouth. His other hand moved from the back of my neck to the side of my neck.

His fingers traced the vein in the side of my neck. I could feel my body pulsing with each one of his touches. His fangs would catch my bottom lip as he kissed me. I could feel my pussy start to throb a little. He stopped kissing me and just looked into my eyes. “This is going to hurt just a little bit.”

He gave a devilish smile and sank his fangs into the side of my neck. I could feel my body weakening. My knees gave way and I collapsed to the ground, but I was caught in the arms of Damon. His arms were muscular; I could feel them under his clothes. I lay there in his arms as he continued to drink from my neck. I felt every part of me draining. It was getting colder, I was losing sight. I had no idea what was going on. It almost felt as if I was about to black out. My body was getting weaker and I wasn’t going to be able to hold on much longer. I felt my eyes roll into the back of my head. Everything... started…to... go… black.

I felt something wet against my lips. What was it? What is going on? Where am I? I tried opening my eyes, everything was very blurry. But someone else was there with me. “Damon.” A small whisper left my mouth.

I remembered what was going on. I had encountered a vampire and he was draining blood from my neck. Everything started to make sense. He was the one killing all those people and now he is going to kill me.

“I am not going to kill you so you can stop worrying.” I gave him a look of confusion. “I’m a vampire; I can read your thoughts.”

I felt a sense of power entering my body; I realized why my lips felt wet. Damon had cut open his wrist and held it up to my mouth. I couldn’t stop drinking, I felt so... powerful. “Don’t worry. You aren’t a vampire. You just feel a rush because you have vampire blood in you.”

I could feel blood trickling down my chin. It seemed so sinister and yet at the same time I couldn’t help but look at Damon and feel a sense of appreciation being where I was right at that moment. I want to be with him, I didn’t care if he killed me. I just wanted him. It was as if he was reading my thoughts again. He took his wrist away from my mouth and leaned in once again to kiss me.
