the other body was discarded behind him, planes of porcelain skin covered sparingly with sequins and feathers that laid limp and unmoving as the blood began to curdle around the fatal opening. roman was too far focused on the immense feeling of satiation in his stomach, white noise lessening in the shell of his ears as somehow, he began to feel normal while mania dissipated in the swell of the night air. but there was another cowering at the throat of the alley, a frame much smaller than the one he had just finished off. one could say he was saving her for last, but in reality, order didn’t matter. the chant inside his head hadn’t stopped since he had stepped into the club. he was ridding the earth of people no one would miss; the homeless, the addicts, the sluts selling their bodies in exchange for cash. the blonde fit into the latter category, almost tearing apart the sleeve of his blazer as she started to beg for it. the plump pout that was covered in a sheen of liquid sex had curled into a beckoning kiss, although roman was quick enough to catch the hesitance in her eyes. tough luck, he had told himself, her demise would not be a pretty little accident.
his jacketed form cornered the woman, long arms caging her in, flattened nose dragging against the pulse point heightened in the presence of fear. the warmth of a tongue sought the sweetness of skin as it was not long before roman began to suck, wanting this final meal to be savoured on his palate. he waited until he could feel the manic pull bringing him forth into his method of darkness, impulses taking the reigns as a canine sunk lower, prodding at the tender flesh until enamel popped through the long plane of skin. a sanguine bead engorged at the small opening and was swiped up by a flick of warm muscle while the upir set to appease his appetite, but her words cut through the deafened sequence before he could allow himself to snap. his rubied pout, tainted with a taste of her livelihood, was unable to perceive the pain he was going to inflict on the cowering girl trapped between his arms. the wound was his only source of interest while it remained open and pulsating with the nectar he so craved; the hunger swept forth like a wildfire ablaze in every pocket and vein.
“keep going ——– i want to hear you beg.”
she’d missed her opportunity to escape the unforgiving wrath of the monster lurking in the shadows of the night. an attempt to make a run for it while he was distracted with the man, a victim of circumstance, would have been the wise decision but yet charlie was stuck frozen in place; the fear within reaching from the top of her head down to the tips of her toes. no one wanted to sell themselves for a quick fuck. a victim of unfortunate circumstances herself, desperate times called for desperate measures. selling her body when the idea of sex turned her stomach to the point of it entering a third dimension wasn’t best of ideas but it was the only one she had. unable to make the straightforward getaway while the chance remained, her green hues became blurred as the memories of her previous tormentor came flooding back into the forefront of her mind. she couldn’t distinguish which one was worse— the feeling of helplessness as his stained red lips came crashing against her neck, or the fact that he reminded her of HIM. from the moment she’d left him in the dust she’d been walking around like an aimless zombie, wondering when the next medical bill was going to be the final blow of weight to crush her for good. she not only lived in fear of her own health causing the fatal blow, but if it was going to be at the hands of him coming back into her life. was life worth living if fear prevented you from truly living?
as her hands lifted to press against his chest in a feeble attempt to stop his actions, charlie got the answer she’d been asking herself for months: she wanted to live. “please, i– i’m not–” her words cut off as his sharpened teeth sank lower into the nape of her neck, the lingering pain of the wound proving to her that this was not what she wanted no matter how much she’d wished for the sweet release of her mental torture day-in-day-out. one hand remained against his chest as the other snaked its way around his arms at each side of her frame in an attempt to pull his hair, scratch him, anything to make him stop. a break from the pain as he spoke, wanting more than anything to not appease him with his desires of begging. she knew he wasn’t interested in her life story, that it was all part of his sick and twisted game of cat and mouse, but she once again found herself in a situation where she had no choice but to oblige with his request. and so she mustered enough up courage to speak, or rather, fight for her LIFE.
“please, i never.... you w-were— you were the first and— listen, i–i was just trying to SURVIVE and pay hospital bills because i’m... i’m sick and—” her eyes shut, voice solemn as she spoke the words she never thought possible. “i don’t want to die.”
