His eyes twinkled. "This bus goes to the station and then you can go anywhere from there. I could show you around."
"Mmmm. I'd like that. What would you like to show me?"
The smell from his heart picking up speed again danced around me. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to wait for a chase. This was why I was never able to let them build up real terror for the best taste possible. I was too impatient.
"Anything you'd like."
"What about the woods behind us?" I asked.
He stopped. "The woods?"
"They're always so mysterious and dangerous, don't you think?"
"I was thinking more along the lines of a park or a restaurant."
"Eating sounds nice," I said, feeling my fangs extending and my mouth watering. "Maybe we can find a bite in there." I looked towards the forest.
"What? Like blackberries?" he asked, the scent of fear escaping. He could tell that something was up.
Taking in a deep breath, I said, "Something like that."
He swallowed. "You know, I think I actually should head home instead. I just thought of something that I have to do."
"I'm sure it can wait," I said and then opened my mouth, showing him my fangs.
His eyes widened and his pupils dilated. "What the…?"
I lunged for him and he ran into the woods. I had decided to have a hunt after all. The smell of fear followed him like a beacon. I waited for him to get ahead a little and then I walked after him, actually able to see the trail of fear glowing as a trail between the trees.
Humans had no idea how easy it was for predators to chase them. Their fear was a tantalizing scent, visible to sensitive eyes. Their heartbeat was loud, like a love song calling out. My mouth watered and my legs ached to go faster.
"I know where you are," I called out. I heard him pick up speed and I raced after him.
"Leave me alone! I'll do anything you want," he begged after looking back to see me right behind him.
"The only thing I want is your fear-drenched blood," I whispered, closing in on him.
Beads of sweat formed around his hair line. "Please…don't!"
"Sorry. I don't let anyone get away." I jumped on him, knocking him to the ground. We rolled around, leaves sticking to our clothes and hair. "I can at least make it less painful for you." I nipped him, allowing the venom to run through his system.
The venom had two purposes, the first being that it acted like a drug, giving victims an intense euphoric feeling; it helped them to resist less. Second, it was one of the two ways to turn a human into a vampire, the other being with vampire blood.
