Chapter 13A Subtle Seduction

I woke up from the best sleep I had ever had. Echoes of my dreams fluttered through my mind before they doused in the realizations of early morning. I felt the thirst again, but I recognized it now. My thoughts lingered on feeding, wondering how it would be done.

Someone knocked on my door.

"Amy, will you get up and change into your new clothes." It was Khuna. Why was I not surprised?

I wanted to reply but I heard she was gone already. Probably up to the living-room or something. I got up, walked to my closet and got my new clothes. As I reached for my pants I suddenly thought of something and took the clothes with me upstairs without changing. Khuna giggled as she saw me.

"Didn't I tell you to change?" She smiled.

"I'd like a shower first if that's possible."

"Oh, of course. Sorry I didn't show you yet. We don't sweat as such and leave very little smell. So you won't have to shower unless you're really dirty. But I guess you've had these clothes a little longer." She shrugged. "It's not much of a solution but there is a kitchen in the back there." She pointed to the door next to Kai's computer corner.

It didn't surprise me much that the kitchen was very bare. Just a sink, an electric cooking plate and space for a dishwasher or something. At least the water worked and became hot, after a while.

I undressed after a fair bit of hesitation but gathered that Khuna would not let anyone in. I washed myself carefully, surprised at how little I odor I had. At least I felt clean, waiting patiently until I dried. At least I had something to do, biting off the pricing labels of my new clothing could become a fun new hobby.

After drying I slowly dressed in my new clothes. They felt quite new and fresh to me, which was nice. To my slight annoyance there was no mirror in the kitchen but I thought I did well enough. My new skirt and t-shirt still felt very nice. I grabbed my old clothes and stepped back into the living-room.

"Oh you look great!" Khuna said with an honest smile. Valerie, who apparently had come in while I was in the kitchen smiled as well. "Very nice I agree."

"She forgot something though." Valerie giggled teasingly.

"Oh, you're right!" Khuna said she got up and grabbed me by the wrist "Lipstick!" She giggled.

We returned to my room, the old clothes thrown in the closet. Khuna got the lipstick from the shopping bag and applied it gingerly.

"There. You look like a little angel." She smiled and gave me a quick peck on the cheek.

I blushed and followed Khuna back upstairs again. Valerie nodded behind her stifled giggle as she saw both my blush and my properly done lips. I looked around and realized I hadn't seen or heard Kai yet.

"Where is Kai?" I asked.

Valerie just shrugged. "Probably outside already, he usually gets up first and comes back as soon as he can so he has most of the night behind those computers of his."

I smiled, it did make some sense. I turned to Khuna. "Where are we going?"

Khuna smiled. "I think I know just the place." She took me by the hand and went outside. Coming at the wall she jumped first and I jumped after her. Feeling the air rush along my legs wearing a skirt like this was a bit... unusual. As must have been the sight from below. Fortunately I didn't realize the last thing for quite some time.

We walked the streets into town center. I felt all giddy. Each reflecting window I enjoyed how I looked. In a way I had never felt so happy with myself. All thirst completely forgotten.

If only it would last.

We arrived at a simple disco, not exactly the top class club in town. But it had quite a few kids standing outside smoking, talking and even flirting with each other. They must have been my age, or close at least.

Standing outside Khuna gave me the last bits of advice. "Find a quiet corner to drink, most boys won't mind coming with you hoping they'll get some. Also, stop on your peak and scratch your tongue on your teeth when you're done. A drop of your blood will be enough to heal a simple wound like that."

I nodded, still a bit worried I wouldn't be able to do it.

"Don't worry, you will be fine. A lot of things come naturally. Even flirting." She winked

We went inside... Well, she dragged me, but still, we ended up inside. The loud music thumped through my body and despite it's loudness I still heard Khuna's voice clearly.

"Just speak to any guy you find cute. You're really good looking so you shouldn't have any problem talking to them." She gave me another peck on the cheek. "I'll be watching but not close."

Her honesty surprised me and made me blush. I saw some guys smiling to us and blushed even more. I moved through the crowds. In a way I wanted to be out of here as quickly as I could, but I also felt I had to feed. And... I wanted Khuna to be proud of me.

Why was I thinking that? I got a grip on myself and started looking around.

I did see someone who looked interesting. Perhaps a year older or something. Nicely dressed. He looked cute and alone. I walked towards him and smiled. He smiled back.

It felt nice.

"Hi, you look cute. What's your name?" It was a stupid thing to say I guess. Hindsight, a lovely thing.

"Eh, thanks. I'm Micheal."

I talked to him and he bought me a beer. We moved towards a darker corner. He drank another two beers, asking if I wanted any more but I didn't even touch my first beer. The corner we sat in was quite nice and secluded. I guess the club owners made corners like these almost for these purposes.

I relaxed a little bit.

I still didn't like touching him, but I guess I was going to have to. I let his hand rest on my leg and he moved in for a kiss not long afterward. After that one I moved to kiss on his neck. It happened almost automatically. He let me.

After another kiss I bit in him. I expected a reaction of fright, surprise. But not a soft sigh, almost a moan. I almost released him in my surprise.

The blood flowed. It filled me like it did before. An explosion around my body of the sweetest senses. My whole body held on to it like a hunter to it's prey. It flowed and ran all through me and with it some of his memories, his experiences. Like a movie cut into pieces and replayed. But it was the blood, I still craved it as I felt a peak come.

"Enough."

Khuna's soft voice brought me to this world again. I knew she wasn't going to pull me off him, I guess I had to do it myself. I stopped the flow somehow and scratched my tongue on my corner tooth as Khuna said. I felt the wound healing beneath my lips and as I released it there was only the faintest of marks still fading away.

The boy just smiled happily, as if this was the best experience of his life. He looked very drowsy. He didn't seem to notice me as I let him go and got up and his eyes were closed as I looked around when I walked away. Fallen asleep already.

"Well done" Came Khuna's whisper. It was weird, in a way I knew I shouldn't be able to hear it over the thumping loud music.

I saw her standing near the bar, looking at me. I smiled and she asked me to wait and watch her.

She went over to a guy and whispered something to him. It made him grin and smile. Then she said something... I could almost hear it. 'I need it so much.' and the guy walked with her. She sat close to where I was before, making sure she was in plain sight for me. She kissed him, surprised him and let him touch her. She moved to his neck almost like I did and bit him normally before she pierced his skin.

I just stood there, wide-eyed, as she seduced him like it was nothing. She fed on him before my eyes and it seemed so strange no one noticed. I almost wanted to scream out, 'She's drinking his blood!' or something. Now I kind of understood why it was strange to talk about it. It was our most animal side.

Did I look like this?
