“This is what we do. Some of our kind they like to kill randomly, they don’t like to know who they are killing. Some kill the innocent on the idea that they taste better. Me I like to know who I am killing. I will follow them for weeks learning their patterns, their ways, their manners…..personally I have tried it all, man, woman, good and bad, lazy, fat, stupid, genius, it matters not. The kill is always the same. That dull look when they know everything they have ever read about us is true. Nothing satisfies like an evil doer. Nothing….knowing you killed someone who is beyond saving, someone who fancies themselves a good old fashioned badass…right Adam?”

Adam the man who squirmed in her arms, the man with the pale blue eyes and muscular build he tried to fight her off, tried to beat her with his fists, it only made her laugh. The woman in my arms looked confused about what was going on. Her sweet scent of lotion and rubbing alcohol mixed with her blood….I was going out of my head.

“And you Vivian, you let him beat your children, let him violate you, you are pathetic…..they go to bed every night crying…wondering why you both don’t leave…..”

“Carmen……”

“You are right Shane….it’s time…..”

She sinks her teeth into this throat. She was right he couldn’t believe it was happening. His thoughts where “Some goddamned…Lesbo vampire is killing me….fucking hell did I do to deserve this?”

He dropped on the floor seconds later. Carmen looked alive radiant. She glowed with the blood of her victim. She walked without sound over to where I stood with the woman. Carmen stoked my face and she felt hot, like a fire, or a hot day at the beach. She kissed my cheek. I wanted to kiss her to see what he tasted like. She knew it’s what I wanted and kissed me. Shocking how good it was….

“And you my sweet hapless, Vivian…..what should we do with you…..?”

Muffled cries of protest. I could hear it from her mind Don’tkillmedontkillmedontkillme….I waited for Carmen to say it was ok to kill her. She had to say it soon because I was no longer in control….the hunger wanted to drain her life……it was too much….
