Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 21 : How She's Here
The next night, it was all about operation: Find Lucy. Though Alexander had distracted my thoughts all day, my mission was turning extremely serious.I stared at myself in the mirror, tracing the circles under my eyes and giving a smile. From my search in the library, I knew what to expect from The Vicious. I just wanted to find out where she was, then I'd begin working on crossing the 'what can I do' bridge later.The book said nothing about a cure, so perhaps there was some other piece of knowledge I'd need to search for.Either way, I grabbed my salve, realizing it was one of the last doses. I only had two more following this, so hopefully, I could take care of multiple things in this trip. Searching the library for another book on these things may be helpful.I thought that over while splashing water on my face, exhaling slowly. This was it. I hadn't gotten much sleep, as usual, given the circumstances. The little sleep I did get treated me to nightmares. I couldn't stop se
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 22 : Look, a Lustful Distraction!
The hallways stretched in front of me, holding many doors that I tried and succeeded to enter. There were empty rooms full of covered furniture, not in use by the mansion residents. I found one room full of mirrors and just had to shudder, wondering if they were haunted or something.Upon close inspection, none of them were cracked or broken either. I only saw my tired but determined expression within them, but also the distinct glint of hopelessness accompanied by a deep frown.I hadn't given up yet, so why did I feel so lost? I was really close to finding my sister, right? Move to the next room with no luck, either. Some of these doors were locked for no reason, surely.There was nothing suspicious about a bunch of random chairs and blank papers scattered about, though something told me this random room full of nonsense was just blocked off so people could be lazy and not clean it up. Ironically enough, that helped the vampires become more 'human' to me.Helpful, for sure,
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 23 : Harder and Faster
Fangs sank into my thigh, causing me to groan as Nicholas drank. I could hear the sound of my blood being gulped down by the vampire, his claws sinking into my skin as he indulged. His tongue ran over my skin as he bit, directing the blood into his mouth. Hungered growls emitted from him every so often, but his bite only lasted for a short moment before he retracted his fangs and ran his tongue over the area. My body shook with pain, panic, and lust at this point. A release was building yet again, especially after that wonderful bite of his. The more his tongue ran over it, the more I squirmed and gasped because the flesh there was quite sensitive.This caused the vampire to chuckle, his muscles rippling as he moved to pin me to the bed once more. His eyes gleamed as he returned to staring me down in thought, so close that some strands of his hair tickled my cheek. "I'm going to make you scream, my prey," he promised, suddenly angling to penetrate me.I gasped as he did so, m
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 24 : Tension That Could be Cut with Fangs
My eyes fixed on Nicholas as I crossed my arms tightly against my chest. My eyes were partially closed due to exhaustion, but I tried my hardest to remain focused.Finally, my voice came out in a low, angry tone, because at this point, I couldn't help it. Stress was boiling over, big time, and he was about to face reality. I could be facing a cultist who would kill me for what I was about to say next.Logic had left the room, though, which was a shame. "What have you done to my sister, you bastard? Are you going to turn me into that thing too? Or are you going to off me? I know it's her behind the door. It's why I've been sneaking around. Her name is Lucy. She was here for your program before, a-and," I burst out, then collapsed, placing my face into my hands and letting out a sob. "She had so much ahead of her, she wouldn't have run off. I was right. Now, I'm fucking dead." I expected a world of pain after I said that, but nothing happened, at least at first. Though I felt i
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 25 : Checking In
I groaned, coming to consciousness with a jolt. Everything that happened came rushing back, and I was caught thinking about that moment Nicholas was approaching the bed, right before I begged him to let Lucy go.He'd been baring his fangs, completely aggressive toward me. He was probably planning on ripping me to shreds, though stopped when I mentioned the cultist. Come to think of it, why hadn't he moved faster? Vampires proved their speed all the time here, even with small things like bringing me back to my room after sex. It almost seemed as though he'd been attempting some sort of scare tactic right then.I wouldn't bet my arm on the open mouth of a gator, though, so either way, it would have worked. What would have happened if Alexander hadn't intervened? I shuddered at the thought.Oddly, time and again, the mysterious amber-eyed vampire came through. He had the aura of someone who really didn't like me much, but I was starting to suspect it wasn't me at all. His walls s
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 26 : Taken by Alexander
"I'm curious about something," I said slowly, keeping my stare fixed on Alexander.Was I brave enough to actually ask what I wanted to? The tension in the air rose, though this time it wasn't negative. No, it was a strong pull. I wanted to tug on it, to bring the vampire closer. All thoughts of my exhaustion drained from me, for a moment, as I imagined him driving himself into me with as much intensity as Nicholas had last night. Alexander raised his brows, crossing his legs to try and hide the bump in his pants, most likely. He was probably trying not to be rude. Little did he know, I considered that sign of lust the opposite.I really wanted him right now.All of the stress had been crashing into me like a wave, and the thought of him giving into lust was dizzying. Honestly, a much-needed distraction after what happened last night. "We haven't been indulging in one another. Will that cause questions?" I finally asked, breaking eye contact and letting out a breath. My hear
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 27 : Feeding Frenzy
The sensation wasn't like any vampire bites I'd felt before. Chemicals rushed through my body, combining with adrenaline and lust. I hadn't practiced drug use in the past, but I suspected this is what it felt like.Sheer euphoria bombarded me, causing me to let out even more moans of pleasure. All of this, of course, while he continued to move me up and down, penetrating me over and over again. I let out a cry as he continued, letting go of the bite only to sink his fangs in again and hold me there a second time. I ran out of energy quickly, and he was gorging, taking in quite a bit of blood in this feast.A bit of alarm rushed through me at the idea of losing too much blood, but right now I was too captured by pleasure to pay much attention to it. No, instead I gave into yet another powerful orgasm, a keeling moan escaping from my lips. The vampire soon shuddered with his own release, pulling me off and laying me there for a moment. Power emanated from him, and I had a stron
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 28 : Sweet Nightmares
"Why is it forbidden?" I asked after a long pause.Alexander remained silent, avoiding my gaze. He had a faraway look in his eyes as he stared at the door of the room, biting his lip for a moment before letting out a sigh. He shook his head, slowly letting go of me and moving a few inches away toward the other side of the bed.I kept my stare on him, noticing the glow of his amber eyes only growing more intense as we spoke. "... I will have food delivered to your room," Alexander said, avoiding the answer entirely.He broke his stare and turned, quickly darting to the door and opening it. Before I could respond, he slipped through and closed it behind him. I was left lying there rather baffled, but at this point chalked it up to him resisting temptation again. He'd gone overboard and knew it, though I personally didn't mind. He listened when I asked him to stop. It probably snapped him out of his frenzy, too. Sadly, I couldn't dwell on much of what happened other than fl

Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 50 : Dhampir
I left Nicholas and Lucy alone for some time to themselves, wandering down the halls and heading back to where I knew Alexander was. A few hours had passed since I'd been in that room, given I'd fallen asleep in that chair. After all of the help I gave everyone and all of the movement involved, time had been chewed through significantly. When I passed by a window and opened the curtain, I noticed the sun was setting. A few minutes later, I arrived at Alexander's room and knocked on the door. "Come in," the vampire said.I listened, entered the room, and looked around, smiling at all of the shark decorations Alexander loved so much. Then, I looked toward him. Thankfully, his skin was no longer an angry red as it had healed up considerably since I'd been with Nick and Lucy. "How are you feeling?" I asked, prompting him to shrug. Even if he was healed well, he was exhausted and somewhat out of it like the rest of the coven. His eyes swept over me curiously, and eventually, he rais
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 49 : The Reunion
Everything was a blur as I helped with healing procedures, using my training for once. I hadn't needed to at any point before, but after a gigantic vampire battle, unfortunately, it would be needed now. Many vampires had been mauled by The Vicious on the loose. I didn't ask questions yet, that would be for later. People were sent to their beds with instructions to rest and feed. Vampires could heal if they had energy, which was low right now. Sort of.I offered my blood, which most declined, but some drank out of sheer desperation. Those vampires began to heal, and while I grew dizzy once again, I knew it was the right thing to do. I really needed more blood in my system, though. Would I restore that by feeding? I'd eaten Remus entirely, which helped a lot. It allowed me to give the blood that I did to help the other vampires heal. Finally, I detected the scent of someone that made my heart flutter. 'Alexander,' I thought to myself, turning to walk down the hallway and giving a
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 48 : Latrodectus
A familiar and very bad scent washed over me right then, causing me to frown very deeply. I was grasping all of these new sensations still so much that I really couldn't pinpoint them. All I knew was that I felt my throat closing in anxiety as I glanced sharply to my side. Without warning, I stood up, and let out a low growl from the pit of my chest. Where the fuck had that come from?!I stopped, contemplating this as I saw something bolting toward me from the woods. It clicked seconds later that Remus had survived Lucy's attack and was making a beeline for me. Alexander had listened to my demands and was in the shade right now. There was no chance, therefore, for interception. We were both caught off guard. I shrieked as I was tackled to the ground, fangs sinking into my neck as Remus began to maul me mercilessly, quite as Lucy had with him. I jerked and squirmed, unable to do much as he did so. However, during this, arms wrapped around him and pulled him back. I hadn't taken
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 47 : Am I Vicious?
I was floating in a beautiful garden, of sorts. As my back touched the ground, I sat up and rubbed my head. I recognized this as a place from my childhood. I wasn't in control of my limbs, but I was seeing through my own eyes, coming to realize this was some sort of memory. I felt myself smile and turn toward a little girl frolicking in the garden. A giggle keeled out of me as the sun tickled my cheeks. This dream was lovely. I myself was just a little girl, the vague screams of memories from the present day only a pinprick in the back of my mind.My sister was here with me, approaching a rose garden and admiring them. The scent of spring billowed all around us as blooming flowers and maple trees. Gorgeous vivids and gold painted the areas coming from the plants as Lucy and I played in the garden behind our house.She gave a soft giggle as I hopped over to her, looking up toward me with wide eyes. I was about ten years of age right then; when times were much better. Before every
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 46 : I Love Lucy
I choked on a cry as the vampire got closer, his voice haunting and causing my heart to pound in my ears. The promises he wove through the night were terrible, evil, and my entire body was wracked with a combination of pain and fear.My hair fell wildly into my face, making it hard to see, but I quickly tried shoving the strands aside and focusing. Right now, I could outpace him, but he probably had more endurance, which may be my downfall. "You want to know what it's like to truly be a pet?" Remus snarled out, weaving a cackle in with his words. "Humans are lesser. I will put you in your place. You may not like it, but you're not meant to. After all the trouble you caused, you need to be punished."If this language was coming from Alexander at the right time, aside from the 'lesser' and not liking it part, I may have been turned on. From Remus, and him meaning me genuine, non-consensual harm, though? Not a chance.I took several deep breaths, focusing despite my world swirlin
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 45 : The Released Vicious
The Vicious's voice was Lucy's. After having listened closely to the sounds she made, and how her voice melded with her screams every so often, I could tell it was her. She buried her fangs into my assailant's neck, dragging him off and proceeding to tear him apart.I shuddered at this grisly scene, wanting to sink down to my knees. However, I knew that I needed to keep a clear mind and couldn't break now. This was my chance. Something happened during Lucy's attack, and Alexander was gone. I needed to go after him but suddenly got an idea. I turned to go rush off into the woods to find him when I froze. The squelching noise of the bat monster tearing flesh was all I could hear now as Lucy did her work.I turned and stared at the dark figures, those red eyes the only things gleaming. "Lucy," I whispered. "It's me, Lorelei."Her ears perked, and I wondered if she knew it was me. Had she intentionally saved me?I watched as she slowly began to crawl toward a pool of moonlight,
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 44 : Escape and Fight
My entire world was once again just pain as I burned through the rope. The chanting around me waxed and waned as the crackle of flames taunted me, reminding me of what I was doing here and now. I needed to burn at least part of the rope so I could get my wrists free. Thankfully, Remus didn't tie the rope so that it was holding my forearms together, but rather just my wrists, crisscrossed on top of one another. Tears streamed down my cheeks, and I sincerely hoped no one was watching me do this. I was in full view, after all, but I think Lucy distracted them. As a matter of fact, the clanging of chains got louder, as did the erratic nature of the monster's screeching.Chanting turned to shouting as I realized they may be losing control of her, which was just great. If she broke free and wreaked havoc, someone could decide to pull the trigger on her, or something. Either way, my captors were distracted enough from the ordeal to allow this painful decision on my part, and there was
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 43 : Whiplash
I wasn't in my bed. Honestly, I had no idea where I was, but it wasn't good. There was a pit in my stomach as the scent of smoke filled my nostrils. My senses were bombarded with 'not safe.' A trickle of warm blood crawled down my face as I slowly opened my eyes to take everything in.The first thing my gaze locked on was a dancing flame. It illuminated what I registered as a forest ground before me. Letting out a soft groan, I tried to move only to realize my hands were tied behind my back. Unfortunately, my legs suffered the same fate, as I realized I couldn't move them, either. I was forced here into a kneeling position, a cloth shoved into my mouth so that I couldn't scream. The world around me swirled and rocked. It was impossible for me to get an idea of what happened or why. My senses just kept going haywire despite my trying to center on where I was or what was happening. There was too much pine, too much smoke, too much ringing in my ears, and too many tears in my e
Curse of the Spotlight Chapter 42 : Beg Me, Pet
I tossed and turned during the nap I tried getting in. Remus left shortly after hovering just a bit longer to annoy the hell out of Alex. The protective vampire remained there after Remus walked away. Alexander held me close during my unproductive attempt to sleep. When I squirmed and moved a bit, he pulled me closer. It limited my restlessness, but not entirely. I got maybe an hour of sleep in before opening my eyes and letting out a groan. "Can't sleep?" Alexander muttered. Then, he paused and chuckled. "Nevermind, that was a rather stupid question." This gave me a laugh, allowing me to relax a little bit.The vampire asked, "Would you like another massage? Could calm your nerves." I pondered this, rotating so that I was facing him, and slowly nodded. "Sure. If you want to initiate anything, you don't need to hold back this time," I said in a light tone. My voice wasn't exactly sultry right now, because stress still dripped in my words.Still, if he wanted to have some fun,
