MANN
The opulent, bright and gaudy lights that spread over the entire room and its occupants hurt my pupils. My head buzzed slightly but with the amount of alcohol I had consumed, it was normal. I grabbed another Scotch from the bar and scanned the room.
Nothing pleased to my taste buds.
Then another brunette came sauntering towards my direction. It took her just a tug at my chest and a few murmurs to have her clinging to me.
The rhythm at which she moved at against my body was enough for me consider her for tonight. Of course, she wasn't my choice, but she would do. I took a long, even breath against her neck and she was against my mouth.
It tasted like alcohol, her smell was of sticky sweat and different colognes mixed together.
Nothing original... But nowadays I rarely came across an original taste. I bit the inside of my cheek to conceal my sudden hunger.
Her mouth was still hard against mine... Moving in a very predictable routine. She untangled her mouth from mine and whispered against my ear. To others her sound would have died against the loud music. But not to me.
She then bit my ear... And smile seductively.
I still wasn't enticed, nevertheless, she would do. I was hungry!
In a few moments, we were out that musk. I held her hand as she cling onto me, kissing me and sliding her hands under my shirt.
Soon enough, I found my bike and within a few seconds we were whizzing down the road.
----
After getting to my apartment, I asked her whether she wanted to wash up... She happily obliged.
My apartment was very low key... A black leather sofa, a flat screen, with a brown wicker table in the living room... Same color for my bed and bed sheets... It was a man cave. It was all done by a friend... I would have opted for a hotel but the clean up and covering up was extremely difficult.
Then, I heard the tap close, and the click of the lock and in a second I was in my bedroom.
And within a few seconds, she was completely in my arms... As I tangled my hands in her hair, she voiced her pleasure. Her mouth was against mine as I played with her body... And she did not hesitate to voice it.
When the last bit of clothes were shed, I completely took charge of the situation... Being careful not to hurt her.
As we neared the end, my desires clouded my vision... And as she climaxed... My desire glistened in the moon light filtering through the window. I could no longer hide them as they elongated against my lips.
I licked her neck and finally claimed her... Sucking it slowly. It became unbearable and I finally snapped... Overcome by the drug-like effect of her dark, maroon blood... and I drank until I could no longer hear my voice of reasoning or her screaming.
When she was drained of her energy and blood... I lifted my head and licked her bruise. She was whimpering slightly... in an unconscious coma.
I stepped out of the bed, wore my jeans and went towards the living room. Cured of my hunger, I grabbed the whiskey bottle, flicked the lid with my thumb and took a straight gulp.
My neck crooned towards the sound of footsteps my ears picked up and the door flew open. I wore the same smirk as he came and sat next to me.
"Oh, come on! Don't tell me you got another one."
The smirk still plastered across my face, I whizzed towards the fridge, grabbed the packet with red liquid and handed it to him.
"Drink up!"
"Seriously, this is getting everyday's nuisance! Why did I ever make this bet with you?" he said as he carefully opened the packet, and downed the liquid; I sat on the lone sofa chair. The tv was on and I, uninterested, looked at the images as they painted and washed away from the screen.
He threw the packet on the floor disgustedly, I looked up at him.
"Don't forget to gift wrap her." I reminded him nonchalantly and pointed towards the room and then raised the bottle towards my lips.
In a matter of a second, he had her loaded on his shoulders.
I got up and grazed her face with my finger, and roughly pushed it. Then in vile, I said, "goodbye sweetheart."
He whizzed towards the door, and stopped.
"Don't worry Mann, I will get you to gift wrap my presents too."
"This is Adi's promise to you."
"Or else, I may have to move out!" he mumbled under his breath and fixed his glasses.
I rolled my eyes and down the liquid, again.
----
I don't remember when it started or how long it had been... Just that as long my memories could take me, I remembered myself as this primitive being.
It is said that once we are changed, we do not remember our past life. And often times I have wanted to know about my old, normal... human self. But when I try to probe... I am stopped by the truth about my reality.
I am a tornado, destroying everything in my course, leaving no traces behind... Whoever I meet ceases to exist. Even if I do have a family, they may not survive meeting me. This is enough to stop me.
I stepped into the shower, washing away the traces of my crime. The water felt soft against my hard, solid tanned skin. Life tends to become somewhat monotonous when you are this monster. Nevertheless, I have witnessed and experienced many things in life... For others life continues in, they experience all the stages of life... From childhood to teenage to adulthood and finally oldage.
But for me, everything around me continues on while I stand frozen in time.
I shut the water and wrap the towel against my torso... My ears perked up again as I heard the foot steps approaching the apartment again.
Within a few seconds, I was n my black pajamas... And another drink adorned my hand.
"So, did you have fun hiding my present." I mocked Adi as he continued to sulk.
"Dude, you have got to stop this... I know I made bet with you to see who can get more sexy food... But this is too much... You have just lost yourself."
He got up and in a whiz had a drink in his hands too.
"Come on, stop sulking now Adi! The month isn't over yet."
Then Adi started again, "F***, seriously... The entire town may get suspicious and before you know it... We have to leave this place!"
"Besides, if Siong found out... He will throw back in the dungeon. Havent you had enough being there for a decade! You do how much he and the covenant care about solecism."
Although, I could care less about Siong... And even though I detested him, I did not want to go back on a vegetarian diet and neither was I looking forward to being stuck in 4 walls, and complete darkness.
Much to others' beliefs, us primitive beings need sunlight to function... It provides us with energy, the sunlight is the source of our energy along with the red liquid. Being in a dark room makes us paler, and less energetic and it makes us more hungry. The desires get harder to conceal with our lips because they elongate.
"Adi, are you backing out?"
After he nodded, my laughter reverberated in the room, and I threw my head back and closed my eyes.
Adi was a rather new edition to being this primitive monster, so he was being careful, treading on safe ground. I guess, I could let this one slide. We had centuries of fun and games ahead of us.
The alcohol was having its effect on me... Alcohol makes us numb, and sometimes even helps us doze off for a couple of hours.
I sensed Adi still wishing to talk but I slowly fell into a dreamless abyss. The empty bottle of whiskey fell, and rolled across the hardwood floor.
-----
I felt a sudden burst of energy jutting through my chest towards my throat, my legs and arms felt warm... I instantly knew that I was in my room and that it was morning.
The sunlight was washing over me through the large bay window in my room. I opened my eyes, and in a second, I was leaning on the glass window. The sun was just above the horizon, but us primitive beings are affected by even the tinniest fraction of its light.
Still clad in my pajamas, I left the room bare chested. I needed the energy, and the more skin exposed, the more easier access to the energy.
"Good morning, Mann." I was greeted by the smell of fresh breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee.
Another misconception that us primitive beings don't eat... We do eat all kinds of food and it pleases our taste buds, however it does not provide us with any energy, and it gets broken up in seconds by our bodies.
"I'm glad you have decided to forget this bet altogether." He forcibly smiled at me, maybe wishing for me to consider it. However, another thought crossed my mind.
"I have not decided on anything of that sort."
His face lost all its color. "But... B but... You did not disagree with me either. Mann, you are backing out now. I'm trying save you!"
"More like you are trying to save your bloody a** from the covenant because you know that once they find out... They will end up taking you with them and keeping you for at least a century... I.suppose."
I finished up eating the breakfast, threw my napkin on the table, and said, "I'll be home late... I'm thinking of hitting republic tonight."
I smirked and left towards my room.
----
My day was spent on the beach, and I soaked the energy, and relaxed.
My tanned body absorbed every ounce of the energy. Although, I had considered to forget the bet, nevertheless, I was still going to have one last romp.
I stretched my body, dusted the sand off with my t-shirt, and wore my khaki shorts over my boxers. I ignored the appreciative stares from females, and left.
I could not wait to go out of here with a bang!
GEET.
The dress was something completely out of a fairytale. The lace that hugged my arms all the way to my wrists, the backless deep cut, the soft, white A- line that accentuated my waist, and the trail of lace that followed me... Yes this was a fairy tale.
After getting tired of looking at myself in the mirror, I finally called Sasha.
"Sasha, come and help me out of this... I need to iron it for tomorrow."
I fiddled around with the zipper but I could not reach it. "Hurry up... Sasha!!!"
"Okay, I am here... But if you tell for for the fourth time that you need five more minutes, I will never come back... And you my dear, Geet, will have to sleep in this dress and wear it like this at tomorrow evening's ceremony!"
She leaned against the door and huffed at me.
"Alright! I won't... Now please get me out of this!" My arms got tired of trying to reach the zipper.
"Geez woman, thank god I won't be the one getting you out of this dress tomorrow." Sasha said it in a very irritating tone, but somehow I blushed at that thought.
"Come on, lift your arms up." I did as told and soon I was in my PJ's.
"So get ready... Tonight is your last night as a bachelorette... So lets go and get drunk... Have fun.. Find someone for you to complete any last time desires!!"
I smiled at her, and nodded at her.
She then slipped out of my room, and I quickly changed into my black halter dress, I put on my red pumps, painted my lips red, volumized my curls, and finished my makeup.
We met at the door, and Sasha brought forward two shots of clear, clean Vodka.
I downed the lethal liquid and it left behind a burning trail. I grinned at Sasha. If I was going out, I was going out with a bang!
