Chapter 12

I never really gave much thought as to how I would die. I guess I assumed it would be of old age, like how most people died. With my children and grandchildren around my bed, saying their final goodbye. Maybe even Nik would have been there. I’ll never know.

But fate had a cruel twist in store for me, ripping me away from my idyllic fantasies and thrusting me into a nightmarish reality. The tranquillity of my musings shattered as the monster’s fangs tore into my vulnerable flesh, sending shockwaves of excruciating pain through my body.

The monster's fangs pulled out of my neck after a few seconds, leaving behind a trail of searing pain. But the respite was short-lived as his fangs pierced another spot. Then another. Then another. With each piercing came another shockwave down my body, paralysing me. I gasped as the final strike found its mark, the sharp fangs piercing my vein with an excruciating precision, causing blood to drip down my neck.

Panic surged within me as I felt my life force being drained, my very essence flowing into the monster’s unholy mouth. It was as if my very soul was being devoured, the tendrils of darkness wrapping around me, suffocating and drowning me in this nightmare. Desperation gripped my heart as it futilely attempted to pump blood, trying to replenish what was stolen with little success. The monster feasted voraciously, as if it had been starved for an eternity and I was its first course.

Silence echoed throughout the street, only the whines from the other two vampires breaking it every so often. They also wanted a taste. The monster wasn’t willing to give up his meal yet. I was his catch, and he was going to be sure to get the best of it.

I felt my body give way, the last of my strength pouring into the monster’s mouth. I didn’t fall to the ground though. The monster had me pinned up to the wall, ensuring I would remain in the perfect spot for his feed.

“Where would you go to, if it was just us?” Nik said, twirling my hair between his fingers. He always liked to ask random questions after sex. Sometimes I thought it was just to keep me there longer, to remain in the moment.

I put my head onto his chest contemplating his question. Where would I go? Some remote island, with a beach and constant sun? That would get boring very quickly. Maybe America? The city that never sleeps. I could get a job working in one of those skyscrapers, with a view to die for. I would live in a luxurious apartment no doubt, with Nik’s money. No. That’s not where I would go either.

“Nowhere. I like it here. It’s perfect.” I felt Nik laugh. He moved my head from his bare chest and shuffled back slightly, his breath creating a light veil over my face.

“That’s boring, Freya. Surely you must want to run off somewhere exciting. Use your imagination!” He didn’t get it sometimes.
