Blink of an eye

Daydreaming

Damien

Catherine had been on my mind since I left the hospital yesterday. Catherine, Catherine, Catherine… Such a beautiful name for such a beautiful creature! I got to know her name during my last visit to see her and I longed to see her again which surprised me a bit. I had had plenty of women during my lifetime but none of them had such an impact on me. Women were always willing to give themselves to me, their body and soul. It had been several years since I had anyone in my bed and even longer since I had tasted human blood last time. I wasn't very proud of all of my actions in the past but I surely was glad that our kind had started to civilize at some point. Human blood was the sweetest nectar for us, the very essence of our existence. Sadly it often meant killing innocent people so most of us had agreed not to drink on humans. Slowly it became more like a law than a guideline and we started to punish those who didn't obey it. Stefano was one of those who declined to follow our rules and was causing problems for our kind. Vampires didn't have many laws to follow, basically just three. First, we couldn't feed on humans and we couldn't kill them. Secondly, we had to stay under the radar and keep our existence as a secret. The third concerned about creating more vampires - that was the most forbidden thing in our world. We don't multiply as humans, it's simply impossible for us. There aren't that many of us, few hundreds around the globe. That amount is enough considering how well-known secret our existence is. I don't think that there are many people left who didn't know about us… Of course we are a myth, an ancient legend which refuses to die. Nowadays we are considered to be part of the popular culture which is fine for us. Any incidence can be explained through the movies or the wild imagination of humans. We live among the people and most of us are known as business owners, writers or something as common as that. Only a few of us like to live an isolated life outside of the society. Others stay long in one spot, then move away for a few decades and return at some point. Considering how long we live, forever that is, a few decades are meaningless in the long run. However, some of us felt that our kind should rule humans and make them slaves for us. Unfortunately Stefano was one of them. We had been friends for long until he fell in love with a human and turned her into a vampire. His loved one had been killed but he managed to get away. He never recovered and swore that he'd get his revenge on us. For some reason he's been acting more open lately and that's how I met Catherine. Oh, Catherine… Stefano knew that I couldn't leave any human harmed without help, so he got away again. I'm not sure what he's up to now, but I'm sure that we'll get to know it sooner or later.

I had left Catherine in the hospital and returned to look if there were any traces of Stefano. Later I met Vladimir and Dimitri to discuss the Stefano situation and I couldn't go back to the hospital during the night. Even with our paranormal charm and ways to persuade humans the situation would have caused the unwanted attention and I stayed away. For once the night seemed to be a particularly long one. The images of Catherine wandered back and front in my mind. How much I wanted to touch that woman! I imagined how it would feel to kiss her soft lips and how her breasts would feel in my hands. I wanted to explore every part of her body, feel the blood running in her veins and taste the sweetness of her femininity. Dear Lord, I was turned on just by thinking of her! I can't remember the last time I had wanted a woman that badly. Even though I was an immortal I was still a man with desires and needs. I had loved once, when I was still a human, and it was enough for me. I didn't look for love, I just wanted to enjoy the eternity. Falling in love with a human was pointless, it would be too horrible to love and break your heart when you'd have to bury your loved one. Time was brutal that way. Call me ruthless but it wasn't that bad to enjoy having s*x. Pure pleasure without any complications. Catherine would be an exquisite treat in my timeline... and I planned to enjoy that treat very soon.
