Life's definatly taken a turn.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Lips grazed my neck as she pushed me into my apartment. Her touch was like liquid fire coursing through my veins. She was well worth the extra flirting I had to put in to get her to notice me. Wrapping an arm around her waist I swung her around, regaining control of the passionate battle. It was my turn to crush my lips against hers. She moaned. At that point in time I couldn’t think of the last time anyone had excited me this much. I guess I had been working too much at Polnocna Krew.

My thoughts were cut short when the sound of my shirt ripping flowed through my ears. Damn, she worked fast. A quick nip to my collar bone broke me from my thoughts yet again. It was followed by another, this time closer to my neck. I shuddered, and my hands flew to her shirt, trying to undo it. If things kept up like this, this night would not be a long one.

It was my turn to push her to the opposite wall of my hallway. She gasped and grabbed my ebony hair bringing me into another tongue battle. I could faintly hear myself groaning. I wasn’t into weak women. I like when someone knows what they want and take charge. She looked like she wasn’t going to disappoint me. Her breath tickled my ear and she whispered words of lust and desire to me. Grabbing her legs to wrap them around my waist, I pinned her against the wall, tighter.

Her voice was like fuel to a fire. She writhed and bucked in my embrace. Then she leaned in and nuzzled my neck again. I guess she had a neck fetish because she inhaled so deeply. A growl from deep within her throat caught my attention. It sounded a bit…inhuman? I shrugged it off. People have their own kinks when it came to certain activities. If only I knew how wrong I had been. Suddenly a sharp pain shot through my neck and I gasped, pulling away, or at least tried to. She was stronger now and held me firm against her while she feasted on my neck. She bit me! I wasn’t against rough play but this was intense. It felt like she was sucking the life from me. My head was spinning. I could hear her slurping. And was that purring? I managed to open my eyes enough to see that something was seriously wrong. She wasn’t human! Her ears had pointed and I caught a glimpse of her fangs as she pulled away briefly to lick her blood-stained lips. I tried to scream out in protest but I was too weak. My knees began to buckle. The next thing I knew I was falling to the floor, clawing frantically at her arms around my head. Finally, complete darkness.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

“Szymon? Szymon? Yo, are you okay?” My response was to groan. His voice was like nails on a black board. My head was splitting, or at least it felt like it was. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and winced as the morning light from my bedroom window blurred my vision. Was it always this bright in the morning? “Hey you’re alive.” The man chuckled.

“What time is it?” I tried to sit up but that attempt was in vain. Lying back down, I opened my eyes, again turning to the voice that had so graciously woken me up. I saw him glance at his watch then back at me.

“It’s almost noon, dude.”

“You’re kidding me?” this time I actually managed to get up. I was sore all over. The one part that really hurt was my neck. Shit, that’s right. How could I have forgotten? “What day is it?” this seemed to throw him off because he stared at me oddly before answering.

“The Fifteenth. Why?”

“Nothing. It just seems that I’ve been sleeping forever. I’m sore all over.” I stretched and heard the cracking of my back and arms. Ahh. That was better.

“The boss was looking for you. He said he called you last night. Apparently you didn’t show up for the job?”

“Shit. Yeah…sorry. Was he really pissed?”

“Not really. It was a minor inconvenience to him. He called up Rafal.” That news made me sneer. It was bad enough I missed the gig, but the fact that the boss gave it to Rafal made me furious. Actually, it made me a lot more agitated than I should’ve been. Taking a deep breath and counting to ten in my head, I was ready to continue with the conversation.

“Fantastic.” I couldn’t hide the spite in my voice. He seemed to notice and it made him smile.

“Hey, you flaked out. You can’t be mad. What were you doing by the way?”

“Ugh…there was this chick at Polnocna Krew…”

“A chick huh? Real nice. I hope that’s not the story you’re going to give to the boss. So was she any good.”

“I really wish you wouldn’t interrupt me.” I snorted. “I don’t really remember all the details. I mean I remember she was flirting with me the whole night at work. And she wasn’t bad looking so I flirted back. Gave her a few drinks on the house if you know what I mean. Then when my shift was over around midnight I asked her back to my place and-“

“You dog you. Ditching work to get laid; shame on you.”

“Shut up and let me finish. Anyway, when we were back at my place things got a little heated and then she bit me!” The severity of the situation seemed to be lost on him because he continued to stare at me like I was an idiot. Him and his stupid grin; Oh how I wanted to smack it off of his face right now, but I didn’t. I guess it did seem like my worries were preposterous. I mean it was while we were doing the deed, so to speak.

“So what? Some girls like to get rough. I mean just the other night I was with this girl and…” It was my turn to cut him off.

“I’m not talking about a little love bite! I mean, she straight out bit me!” To emphasize my point I turned my head; wincing at the pain it inflicted, and showed him the mark. It was a deep purple and it looked nasty. There were two very visible puncture marks within the bruise. I heard him ‘hmm’ as he leaned in closer to examine it. As he did so I had the sudden urge to lean in and sniff him but I held back. The idea puzzled me. “You believe me now? I may have had a few drinks and what not but what I saw was real. I can guarantee you.”

“What did you see?” He asked. I had finally gotten his interest.

“She wasn’t human, that’s for sure. She almost looked like a lichen.”

“Hah! Now I know for sure you were wasted. There are no such things as lichens. She and you obviously had too much to drink and decided to play rough.” He looked at the mark on my neck again. “…Real rough.” He chuckled. The bastard actually laughed at me! Granted, it seemed surreal, but I wasn’t lying, though I wished I was.

“Don’t laugh at me! Im serious!” my voice raised an octave. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with his immaturity.

“Sorry. Go ahead and continue.”

“Well that’s the thing. I blacked out.”

“Oh?” I could tell that he didn’t really take me seriously, but he was at least humoring me. That would be good enough for now.

“Yeah. By the way, Marcin, how the hell did you get in here?”

“Oh yeah…I came to check in on you because the boss told me to, when I found the door open.”

“Oh? Right….”
