them. Nigel and the other vampires of his bloodline, have a distorted way of seeing the world." His hand moved to her chin. He cupped it in his hand, his thumb tracing her lower lip. "They see humans as equals. We're not equals, Lacey, not by a long shot."
"But why kill the other vampire?"
"I had nothing against that particular vampire. He just so happened to walk in on me draining the final of the three humans. He was about to run for security, but he didn't get very far."
Lacey looked anxiously towards the balcony. Did sunlight affect vampires or was that a myth? She was on the third floor. If she were to make it to the window and jump out...
No, she didn't care for that idea one little bit.
Joseph followed her eyes to the balcony and smiled, revealing his fangs once again.
They were much more imposing when they were just inches from her exposed neck. "I assume that since you were unaware of the fact Nigel is a vampire that he has not drunk from you...as of yet anyway?"
Lacey paused, then shook her head. No sense trying to lie to him. For some odd reason, she couldn't seem to lie to him if she tried. It was as if it wasn't possible to lie to him. So very strange.
The vampire chuckled, "I've been told that having a vampire drink from you while fucking can be a very euphoric experience. Never happened to me personally, I can't even remember my human years anymore, so it's just hearsay." Joseph tugged at the top button of her blouse, sending it flying across the room. "How about we try and you can let me know if it's true?"
Terror shot through Lacey, giving her the adrenalin-boost to break the hold he seemed to have on her. She leapt from the sofa and made a run for the front door. She only made it to the living room entry way before she felt strong arms grasp her waist from behind, lifting her up and tossing her back down on the sofa. The force by which he threw her down left her momentarily winded. Gasping for breath she attempted to squirm her way off the sofa and back onto her feet, but his body came crashing down onto hers before she could get even an inch from the spot where she d landed. His weight on her felt more like five hundred pounds than the two hundred she would have guessed he weighed Grasping a fist full of her hair, Joseph pulled her head back exposing her creamy, ivory flesh and sank his fangs deep into her neck.
Lacey screamed out as pain seared through her neck, vibrating all the way down her body to her toes. As suddenly as his fangs plunged into her neck they left, his body suddenly removed from hers. She flipped over onto her back to see what had happened.
It was Nigel!
He stood between her and Joseph. She glanced over at Joseph who had her blood dripping down the sides of his mouth and falling from his chin. He seemed to have completely forgotten about her. All of his attention was focused on Nigel.
"I told you she was mine!" Nigel snarled.
Lacey scrambled from the sofa, to hide behind the arm. It offered her no real security, but she felt safer ducking behind it anyway. She peered around the arm to watch the two combatants.
Joseph smirked back at Nigel and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, "She may have been yours, but I was the one that had a taste. And Nigel, she...tastes...divine."
Nigel lunged for the other vampire.
Scared of how it would turn out, Lacey ducked back behind the sofa and closed her eyes. She heard a mixture of snarling and cursing combined with the sound of her furniture breaking. Some more crashing, glass breaking, more snarls.
She had no idea how long the fighting lasted; the terror of the situation held her in its grip. When the apartment became silent she opened her eyes, fearful of what she might see, but knowing she had to look. She opened them just in time to see Nigel plunge a silver butter knife through Joseph's heart.
"Oh my God," she gasped, getting up the nerve to stand and cautiously walk over to Nigel. Instead she stood frozen in the spot,
