“Aren’t you just… sweet?” Alaric chuckled softly, his slender fingers gripping your chin. He was one of the new students at your school; he became popular quickly, thanks to his handsome looks and hypnotic personality. You, however, were alarmed. There was something off about him… even if you couldn’t put your finger on it. You did everything to avoid him. Saw him down the hallway? Take a short cut. See him playing basketball? Take a long walk around the court. Now… now you knew what exactly was wrong with him. Alaric was a vampire. You could see it, his fangs bulging out of his gums; long, sharp teeth ready to sink into your neck. His breath was hot against your neck, his eyes fixating on the soft flesh of your neck. You could feel his desire for blood, his longing for yours. You knew you were his target. He liked the chase you gave him. The fact that you knew that he wasn’t human only added to the thrill of dominating you.
