A Vampire’s Charm

Important Veins

Edited somewhat

Claire's POV

Im awake.

Those two words alone spread relief within me. I had a groggy taste in my mouth as My eyes looked around and saw that it was pitch black.

Now, I felt kind of confused with the darkness. But I startled myself by fluttering my eyelids open. Obviously it was dark, seeing as my eyes were closed. Let's pretend that I didn't just forget that my eyes were closed. I cursed my groggyness, why couldn't I wake up like those girls in the books and have my breath minty fresh in the mornings? That sounded to good to be true, but if it could be true, I wouldn't have such good luck praised upon me. I felt sluggish, and just weak.

I usually wake up fast early in the morning and brush my teeth before my mother scolds me but, my eyes were oily. My face was oily. This always happens when I sleep for a while.

I observed my surroundings, looking around the dark room.

My surroundings weren't very better than when I had my eyes closed. It was still dark, except I could make out the outlines around me. That wasn't much of a relief because it made me even more creeped out. They all looked like outlines of creatures which made me shiver in fear. I wasn't very fond of the dark, everyone who spent enough time to even pay attention to me knew that much. My mother occasionally would even scold me when she found my light on in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep with the light off, creatures would lurk in ever corner and crack in my room.

Except, this wasn't my room. I l took a closer look at my surroundings. My memories usually take a few seconds to process in my mind when I awake from slumber. It took me a moment for flashes of last nights events to come rushing to me. 'Creepy disturbing r**e guy. Red eyed guy who saved me and didn't kill me. Red eyed guy smiling an evil smile to the old man and telling him that he would enjoy it. Guy with red eyes and fangs ripping out one of creepy old r****t's organs and me passing out.'

Okay, that much settles it, fangs guy kept me and is going to kill me. Or worse.

Thoughts started going through my head, awful images of me getting killed by this wanna be vampire guy, even worse, tortured. No, I couldn't let that happen. I had a life to live! I started to get up but was quickly restricted by chains that were around my neck, arms, legs, and even waist.

This was insane to the max, I got to get out of this place. I started hyperventilating as I heard footsteps aproach the wooden door. I spotted a window to my right, moonlight wasn't flooding in because of the curtains. The dark blue curtains blended in with the walls, which made me think at first that it was the wall. I started to struggle to get to the window, chains still pulling me down, my breaths coming down to rasps. The chains made a rattling sound, making me stop my movements.

Oh my god, I feel like I'm swallowing my tongue. I know this feeling, I get it all the time. I couldn't have a panic attack at a time like this. Sweat beads started forming on my forehead, effects of a panic attack. My breath was coming out short and my chest was heaving up and down in panic. The footsteps were getting closer as tears were escaping my eyes. No, I'm not going to cry. That's weak and I don't want to be labeled as weak.

The footsteps stopped at my door and suddenly I felt sick to my stomache. I held the bile down and shut my eyes tightly, in attempt to look asleep to the wanna be vampire. Obviously that wasn't going to work, seeing as my tears would be a give away. My mind tried thinking of multiple ways to make it seem as if I were asleep.

I had to look more relaxed and breathe evenly. I held my eyes shut but loosened my hold on them and started to atleast try to calm down my breathing. I was thankful that this guy couldn't see me in the dark, that would be the death of me. I heard the wooden door creak open and I held my breath. I heard a masculine chuckle as I heardfootsteps approach the bed I was chained to. I felt something ice cold stroke my cheek, fingers. I resisted the urge to shiver and kept my eyes closed.

"I know your awake." His deep voice stated, in a taunting tone. I kept my eyes shut even tighter, he wouldn't know that I was awake for sure, he couldn't. I heard him sigh as he started trailing his fingers and palm against my face, carressing it. He then proceeded to trail his hand down to my neck and rubbed his thumb over a certain spot on my neck. He leaned in and for a second, I thought he was gonna kiss me, that was until he moved his head towards my neck. He neared the spot that he was rubbing with his thumb and licked it. I stiffened at the touch, the assault.

He hesitated to leave that spot and gave it up to his thumb, to keep rubbing it. He leaned towards my ear and whispered.

"I don't want to play this game, the sooner you open your eyes, the sooner I unchain you." His low deep voice traveled like music to my ears and I somehow did the most idiotic thing that I could.

I opened my eyes, looking straight into his deep brown eyed sincere gaze. Where did his red eyes go? He smiled at my decision to reveal that I was awake while I just mentally face palmed. I had revealed that I was awake and he could use that to his advantage. I should've kept pretending to be asleep. Something about his guy, he felt like home. Comforting? Impossible, he's a kidnapper and a murderer. But nonetheless, my body responded well to his touch.

As soon as I relaxed under his touch, I immediatley stiffened in realization, making him frown.

His thumb was rubbing something of importance to me. He licked something of importance to me. He had just assaulted, and still is assaulting, one of my important veins on my neck.

The wannabe vampire is rubbing my important vein, attracted to my pulse. Was that normal? Of course not. So then, obviously my reaction to all of this is normal.

I turned my head and bit his finger.
