Please Save me From the Monsters

A scream died in the hero’s throat as she was slammed against the brick alley wall. The vampire pressed flush against her, pinning her in place.

She opened her mouth to speak, beg, anything, but a small choked sound was all that came out.

“Shh,” he soothed, tracing a thumb over her bottom lip, stroking down her jaw to cup an icy hand around her throat. His gaze skated over her lazily, but something about it grew pointed and yearning when her pulse thrashed beneath his fingers.

Hero stared, wide-eyed and frozen in place. Every instinct screamed, alight with panic. The air felt too thick and her vision began to fog.

The vampire smiled, flashing much-too-sharp teeth. “Now what might your business be here? Aspiring vampire-hunter perhaps? So ambitious. I admire that. Humans don’t come here unless they have a death wish, love.”

The hero swallowed, shaking her head vigorously, and the vampire’s eyes followed the movement. “No, I-I don’t-- I just-- I--”

Her breathing hitched as the vampire leaned in, fangs grazing her throat without breaking the skin. He laughed softly.

“In the time it takes to blink, I could suck you dry.” The threat in his voice, low and smooth, sent a shudder through her. “Or tear your throat out. Snap your bones one by one until you understand the mistake you’ve made. It really is a shame that humans are so... fragile.”

His grip left her throat to take both of her hands, lifting them gently.

The hero’s eyes widened, fingers twitching in his grasp. “Please.” It came out softer than a whisper, and if he didn’t have exceptional hearing, he wouldn’t have understood it.

His eyes, blood red and catching the moonlight like broken glass, didn’t waver from hers as he quirked a brow. “Please what, love?”

His palms beneath hers were unbearably cold, like clutching fistfuls of snow. She swallowed a second time, the vampire’s gaze dipping down over her throat again at the motion.

“I...I came here, to...to ask for your help,” Hero managed, voice timid.

He looked taken aback at that, but recovered quickly, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. “My help?” He leaned in close and the human sucked in a startled breath. “My, you must be desperate to want to make a deal with the devil.”

Up close he smelled like spices and copper and the night. He was breathtaking, all sharp edges and moon-pale skin contrasted by deceptively lovely, red lips

“Yes.”

His smile carved wider, sharp teeth gleaming. “Alright, love, I’m listening.”

His purr of a voice puddled warmth in her stomach, honeyed and velvet. Beautiful in the way that the most poisonous things in nature are.

A howl cut through the night and the hero paled, gripping the vampire’s hands in terror. She tugged a bag up over her head and shoved it into his hands. It jangled with the clash of coins.

“Please,” she said, breathless, as the vampire peeked at the small fortune inside the bag. “Protect me from the werewolves. Please save me from the monsters.”
