The Vampire

Missing image
He enjoyed the crowded clubs that drew young healthy women like ants to a picnic. He eyed them with appetite and desire. He had thousands of young woman over the centuries. He had chosen a young lady earlier and he had watched her go home, but was waiting for she and her family to retire for the night, avoiding unnecessary complication. He wanted one or so more women. His thirst for life's young fluid was great. He had been a while without sustenance.1

He had noticed the young woman on the college campus earlier that day as he shopped for fresh blood and attractive bodies. Although the sun's glare did bother his eyes, he could get by with polarized sunglasses or dematerialize. He preferred night, but sometimes, as today, he hunted during the day. It depended on his mood and his appetite. He was very hungry today.2

She was attractive with brown hair. Slim, she was average in height. She wore tight jeans and a tight t-shirt which showed clearly her figure. Very pretty when she smiled and she had the look of innocence and youth. The very things that attracted him most. Unseen, he had followed her. Even as she walked home, she had no idea that death was stalking her.3

So he had left her at home to have dinner with her parents and planned to return later for her. In the meantime he was looking for more fresh blood at the club.4

She ate, did her homework, and took a shower. Delicately drying her beautiful body, she admired herself in the mirror. She liked the way her body was developing. She put on a satin nightgown and began to blow dry her long brown hair. It took only a few minutes. She turned off the the lights and went to bed. 5

She slept peacefully in her home and in her own bed. In the morning her parents would find her dead. She shivered as she lay asleep. She dreamed of love she hoped would come, but deathly indifference was near. Her face glowed with the inner peace of youth and innocence. That innocence had only an instant before it would dissolve into nightmare.6

He passed through the closed window like air through the cracks. He watched her as she slept and as she breathed. Her chest barely rose beneath her nightgown. Her hands rested at her sides. He admired her beautiful form. She was relaxed and peaceful in sleep. Only just eighteen, her youthful body was deeply enticing, luscious. The marvelous scent of her youth and her freshness filled the room. He could hardly hold back his hunger and lust. Knowing that control gave more pleasure, he paced himself. He knew his experience with her would be delicious. He shouldn't rush. He had chosen her precisely for her youth and purity. He was eager for her delicate taste.7

He placed his hand firmly on her soft pliant abdomen to wake her, glaring into her eyes. In his trance she was paralyzed and he enjoyed the intense fear in her pretty blue eyes as she woke. She stared helplessly at his face. He pressed harder watching her struggle for breath. The softness and warmth of her belly were wonderful. She shivered under his touch.8

In his eyes she saw black emptiness, no remorse, no pity. His icy cold hand on her tummy caused goose bumps of fear all over her body. She lay limp feeling his hand through her silky nightgown, solely for his pleasure, not hers. Still, it felt some comforting to her.9

Her soft warm skin was sensual to his touch. He rejoiced in her warmth because of the pleasure of the contact of her warm flesh. Also he anticipated his satisfaction at the sensation of feeling such warmth fade with the lives of his victims. She shuddered with unwanted excitement as she felt the pressure of his hands. He kissed her and under his trance she had not choice but to respond. She was chilled by his touch while the heat she tried to restrain built inside her.10

Hypnotically she lay still unable to move. Her brown hair was disheveled. Her eyes pleaded with him. She could not speak or scream, but had complete awareness. She could not resist him for all her will and the screaming inside.11

He kissed her again. Though she hated to, she responded; her body under his control. She knew he had no animosity toward her. She was like a mouse to a cat. She knew he would play with her until he was ready for the kill. She knew death was near. 12

He curiously thrilled and frightened her. His touch was cold. Her milky pale skin glowed with the essence of the freshness and youth of her body. She wanted to run, but could only respond to him. He enjoyed the sensation of her soft warm skin against his.13

She knew what he was and knew that he would take her life. Her time was almost up. 14

He kissed her long and then he bit deeply into her artery. Her feet and hands tingled at first and then began to hurt. Pain pulsed in her heart, arms, and legs with each heartbeat. Then there was a general numbing in her body, especially in her arms and legs. She felt dizziness and nausea. The pain in her heart was subsiding. Her heart and breathing stopped. She was surprised as she slipped into eternal sleep. It hadn't hurt as much as she expected.15

He had felt her last breath and the last beat of her heart. Satisfied as he swallowed the last of her blood; he remained on her feeling her body cool. Then he left her as she had laid before. Appearing almost as peaceful as she had been in sleep, she now seemed in death.16

A creature is prisoner of its nature.17

      Thanks for reading, commenting, and all the applause. I appreciate it. I'm very pleased you like this story.

      I have this and another story with the same vampire. I also have this vampire in the original series of about fifty-five stories, but those contain explicit erotica. If you'd like the links, I'll be happy to provide them.

    It was a pretty good story, considering I don't care much for vampires or romance. It was really nice, but sadly it wasn't about a ghost. It was about a vampire. I apologize, but it can't run in the contest. I will, however, give you some applauses for your hard work. Thank you anyway and good luck in other contests!

    Pretty good work you got here. The only thing I really noticed is I think you have a small typo on paragraph nine.

    You wrote:

    Still, it felt some comforting to her

    it threw me off for a moment. Outside of that I didn't see anything that needed to be changed. Good stuff.

    • Hi Duke!

      I'm very glad that you like this story. I really enjoy writing vampires, though now I'm spending more time in the company of cannibals.

  • Wow.
    I can see why this won so many trophies.
    It was such a shame for the porr girl. Dreams and hopes smashed and never fulfilled. It's a sad thing. Kinda awared me of the horrors of taking lives, I guess you could say.

    You did a wonderful job. Good luck.

    • Hi CMWUR!

      I'm very pleased you like this story.

      Another major reason that this story has many trophies is that it's been at Storywrite since Storywrite began. Makes me an old timer.

      I haven't read or seen Twilight, so I can assure that I didn't copy it. I'd heard they sparkle. I do follow some of the vampire conventions. I've heard about some of the Twilight characters, mostly name only.

      I do know that I wrote and posted my vampire well before I'd heard of Twilight.

      I'm glad you like the story.

    • Hi! Snoble!

      Thanks for hosting this contest and for reading, commenting, and all the applause. I appreciate it.

      I first wrote this story as vampire erotica. I stripped most of the erotica out of it so anybody at the site could read it.

      I continued with the erotic series of stories and gave the vampire a name and a human assistant. There are more than forty stories in the series. I hope to adapt them into a novel at some point.

      I'm very glad you like this story.

      May you have many good entries and much fun.

    Awesome

    You know...if this hadn't won so many awards already, and you had put this in my contest, it probably would have at least placed second. This was much better than your other story. I really enjoyed reading this. The attention to detail when you were describing how the vampire fed from the girl was marvelous. I was in awe while reading this. You really did a fantastic job with this one.

    • Hi Caradoc!

      This story is a revision of a story that included graphic erotica. I began writing stories at Allpoetry before Storywrite was separated from it. The story from which this story is derived, was my first story there. I took the erotica out so that younger readers could view it. Same with 'Coed Dorm'. The vampire in both these stories is continued in the other series and there are more than forty stories in that series. I gave my vampire a name, Victor.

      I've since developed other vampires, but again, there's graphic erotica. If I remember, you didn't want that in your contest.

      I write in a lot of genres, but most of my writing has been crime or horror erotica.

      I'm currently co-writing a novel, which is nearing completion, that is a mystery/thriller. I think you'd enjoy it, but in a couple of chapters there is some erotica.

      I'm very glad that you like this story and happy that you looked it up.

    • Hi!

      Thanks again for the honorable mention and for reading, commenting, and all the applause. I appreciate it.

      I've written a whole lot of vampire stories. I have a series of more than forty stories about a vampire named Victor that I hope to adapt into a novel. I also have a bunch of other vampires in other stories and poems, but unfortunately in your case, they are in adult categories. I've got a few that aren't. If you'd like, I can find them and send you the links.

      Andy

  • Haha this was good. Ummm I thought lacking a bit of substance, but it was very good. I did ask for romance, and he had no deep feelings for her. Also, it irks me just a bit when one has already one at least three trophies on something and they continue to enter contests. Just because it isn't altogether fair to other contestants. But I really enjoyed your writing and found it incredibly easy to read. You held my attention and had really good description, although I daresay you could have gone into it more deeply. I liked your flow and the way that you wrapped your sentences around eachother a bit, if that makes sense. I also liked the lazy type of voice that you gave the character. The characterization was very good. Good luck and thanks for entering my contest!

    • Hi!

      Guilty! I'm a trophy whore. If a contest is open to prewrites and I feel I have a qualifying story, I'll pop it in. Unless there is a restriction in the contest regarding the number of trophies a story may have, I'm not really concerned. I'm sure that sometimes having trophies attached to a story reduces its chances of winning.

      I'm glad that you like my character, writing style, and enjoy this story. This character was introduced initiatlly for a contest, I've since used him in more than 40 stories. Later he gets involved with a human female, white witch. Except in his relationship to her, he's not very romantic.

      Thanks for hosting this contest and for reading and commenting. I appreciate it. May you have many good entries and much fun.

  • Nice, it was good, descriptions were good. Even though I am a more romace fall in love keep her alive, you did a nice job!

    • Hi Angel!

      Thanks for hosting this contest and for reading and commenting. I appreciate it.

      Yep, the vampire's interest was more his blood lust than romance. I've written a series of stories with this vampire in which he falls in love with a human white witch, but it has erotica and is therefore rated adult.

      I hope you have many good entries and much fun.

        To put it simply, I LOVE vampires! So in answer to your question... yes!

        I think vapire stories are fun to read becasue they are fictional, and everybody has their own ideas on vampires so every sotry is a little different. Like the Twilight series, who every thought a vampire would sparkle, or be so intoxiating, or be their own kind of vegitarian! I could go on but I wont...

        They're just as fun to write for the reasons above too! My vapire story "Vampire Night" was heaps fun because it was filled with whatever I wanted!

        But seriously though, the more vampires out there, the more fun!

    THis was very well written though somewhat predictable. Your grammar and flow are brilliant and i think that you would be able to expand this into something larger...like a second...? Just a thought. Very well done!...but then again...your stuff usually is

      Thanks Durian

      Yes, with vampire stories the victims usually are usually enslaved, turned or killed. My vampires usually kill their victims. In my vampire stories, the ultimate end is usually very predictable. I've got a couple of vampire stories where the ending is different for the victim apparent. However, really for the most part, my vampire stories are somewhat repetitive. I had a fan base at Allpoetry which was following my vampire series.

      I'm glad you like this story. It is actually the edited version of a larger story. However, having read this, there would be no surprises in that story. It is more sexually explicit.

    Hmm, this was very interesting. Although there were a lot of short sentences, it still flowed really well, and drew me in from the very first sentence. It would've helped if you had more descriptions and emotions though- that would've brought your piece to life. Your storyline was interesting, but not very gripping, and more of a twist to the ending would've made it stand out more. As for vampires and horror- I didn't find this scary or chilling, but this was very vampirish. The way you wrote it gave it an almost dreamlike feel, and if that was what you were going for then well done. I liked the detail in this, it really brought out your characters, but more of a background to the vampire would've been nice. There weren't one or two paragraphs which stood out when I read, because all of your paragraphs flowed freely into one another, which helped keep flow and pace. Overall, this was a very enjoyable piece. Well done.

    There are too many short sentences that make the story seem immature and lacking excitement. It seems like your character is going to come to her demise but there is no suspenceful buildup.

    The story seemed a little one dimentional and I didn't feel any emotion from it. I wasn't hooked in and the style was more telling instead of showing so I didn't feel the fear of the victim or the hunger of the vampire.

    I did like the concept, however, as I enjoy vampire stories and I loved your photo to represent the story.

    Thanks for entering and good luck.

    I realized you had used the phrases of youth and freshness in different ways repeatedly. That seemed to pop out at me more than most of your errors. However, many of your descriptions were very well-written and the last sentence was just what I love, something to keep the reader awed even after reading it all. Good job, I wish you luck in the contest and thank you for entering.
