Chapter 1 Part 2 My usual day at the office

Mysterious shadows in the forest

I started the engine and drove onwards. I should have driven back from where I came but I was not thinking straight. I kept going and I got deeper into the forest.

Suddenly I see some light coming from a nearby house so I decided to park as close as possible to it and rushed to the door to knock.

"Who is it?" Someone shouted politely after a few seconds. I heard some light footsteps approaching the door.

"Hi, please can you let me in?" I asked. Hoping they would sense my urgency.

I hear a lot of clicks from the dozen locks and then I see a young breathtakingly beautiful lady that appeared before me.

Her high cheekbones were blushed, and had very long brown hair, down to her butt. She was just wearing blue shorts and a bra that exposed her large breasts.

"I am so sorry if I am intruding but I need your help, please. Could you let me in? There is something in the woods, I don't know what it is but I spotted something that made me feel uneasy."

The lady let me in and excused herself to go wear something more decent. She came out with a long shirt that covered also her waist. We stared at each other for a moment. Her blue eyes gazed at my whole body.

"What happened? How did you end up here?" She asked still twitching her eyes up and down my body.

"I am a journalist and a photographer and I was sent here to make up a good story out of this photo but it was getting dark and I thought I should try finding a place to stay for the night. Unfortunately, there is no motel around so I see the first house and knocked to check if anyone could help me find a motel or something but as I was getting back to my car I see a large figure rushing between the trees and something told me to run so I got into my car and drove as fast as I could and I ended up here."

She remained quiet for a moment and then looked at the picture I had passed out to her to see.

"There are things out here you better not see or worse, get close to."

She handed me the picture back and scoffed as she sat down on the sofa.

"What do you mean? Someone else told me not to come here."

I cleared my throat feeling like something was blocking my airways. Her beauty is beyond compare and something in my chest was pulling hard, almost wanting to release itself.

She looked at her nails and clicked her tongue.

"You can rest here and leave in the morning if you like. Do not go out when it is dark because it is more dangerous at night."

She stared quietly, waiting for me to say something.

I looked straight into her eyes for a while trying to see if I manage to get a glimpse of emotion from the picture she has just seen.

"So the picture... anything you want to explain? I know that you know what that is."

She shook her head and looked down at her shirt and pretended to straighten the few curves the shirt had on her belly.

"Why though? No one wants to tell me. Tomorrow I will go and check it out then. I need to know as it is my job to do so."

She shrugs her shoulders and wished me luck. Then she stood up from the sofa and showed me the empty bedroom.

"Good night Mr....."

I smiled as she offered me her hand which I shook lightly. As soon as my fingers brushed over hers I felt tingling all over my body again which awkwardly made me let go off her hand in a fast manner. She also had a surprised expression, but I could tell she tried not to show it too much.

"Luka," I said, as I continued smiling at her.

My body was still recovering from that unusual feeling.

"Mei," she added.

"Pleased to meet you," we said together.

We both giggled and then she left the room.

As I laid down on the bed I gazed at the ceiling thinking hard of tomorrow. I thought I shouldn't be alone, yet I have no one to go with. I am here on my own. Maybe I should invent a story and still make my boss content.

The moon was very bright outside and its light was shining through the large window that was opposite my bed.

Suddenly the light was replaced by a large figure. I looked straight out of the window as I stood up fast from the bed in surprise and in front of me, I see something I never thought existed.

At first, I thought it was outside but no, it was in my room staring straight at me with shining blue eyes. My curious self was about to walk towards it but my movement triggered the shadow to expose its teeth.

Feeling like I was in trouble, I observed the whole room, trying to find a way to lock the thing inside as I escape from his dangerous teeth and claws. My heart was still stable as I was plotting my plan. Slowly, I moved my body close to the bed and I hear a ferocious bark coming from the shadow which stopped me from moving.

I noticed a switch close by and I immediately thought I should switch it on thinking my brain was playing tricks on me. My hand rushed to press it and the lights turned on and the shadow was gone.

I wondered how it could rush off this fast so I checked for it everyehere but it was to no avail. I tried to gather myself and considered sleeping again but I am not willing to switch off the lights. I closed the door and the curtains and went back to bed.

"Never be afraid. Yeah I should never be afraid," I mumbled, thinking about a conversation I had with my father back when I was a kid.

It was around midnight when I hear and feel someone breathing very close to my ear. I opened my eyes and I stayed still hoping that I was dreaming once again but no, the feeling of someone next to me remained in the room.

Noticing that the lights in the room were off once again, I had a feeling that I was going to get killed as it started to expose its teeth and claws again, trying to attack. I thought I should be fast and get under the bed to avoid getting my skin ripped and so I flung myself to the floor and rolled under almost getting clawed by the shadow that was haunting me.

I noticed that the door was still closed and the curtains were too. Where did this thing come from?! I felt confused, yet curious at the same time. I didn't know what else to do apart from avoiding its claws. Of course, I was still with my white shirt and black trousers I had from work since I came to this place unprepared.

It suddenly knelt to the floor and gazed at me like it was curiously observing me. Three a.m and I was still under the bed trying to figure out how I should go out from this house. There was no way. I had to wait until the sun comes up.

Whilst I was contemplating what I should do, the lights turned on and I see two feet next to the open door.

"What the heck are you doing down there Luka?" Mei asked with a surprised tone. "Is everything alright?" She continued.

I rolled out from under the bed, stood up and as I was cleaning myself up from the floor the lights turned off again.

"Oh no," I said aloud. This time it was us two in the room but the shadow did not reappear.

"The shaddow I spotted in the woods, I saw it in here," I said calmly, "I was trying not to get killed by it so I found a place where it couldn't reach me.

Mei stared at me with a surprised look then grabbed my arms roughly and we ran to the kitchen.

She let go of my hand and brought out a gun from a large box. Click. She placed the magazine in and pointed at nothing as she walked slowly in every room. I followed behind but there was nothing.

"You must have been dreaming. I locked the door tightly as you can see and nothing can get through."

I looked at the door to see about five locks to it.

"I swear it. I saw it twice. I let the lights on and it turned off on its own just like what happened when you came into the bedroom," I tried explaining.

"No I haven't switched on the lights," she said. "I just heard some commotion from outside my bedroom and thought you were up so I came to your room and it was on."

We stared at each other for a while, then she aimed the gun at me, changing her expression like something was controlling her.

"Open your shirt," she ordered, "open it now," she said harshly looking straight into my eyes.

I stared at her for a few seconds trying to figure out why she is acting like this, then I opened my shirt slowly.

"Now what?" I asked forming a smile.

She stared at my chest for a second, almost like she was searching for something.

"We're fine, I thought it got attatched to you, but you are fine," she suddenly said, bringing back the gun down and rested it back in its case.

"What did?" I asked, almost chuckling feeling confused.

But something in me made me want to grab her and feel every inch of her. I tried hard to let go of that thought, not wanting to look like I was some whore.

I noticed that we were both fixated on each other's gaze, admiring each other in deep thought.

Without warning, she rushed onto me and started kissing my lips roughly, like a hungry she-wolf. That was an unexpected reaction.

At first, I was shocked but then I decided to take the opportunity and grabbed her by the hips and pressed her body closer to me. At the touch of her lips, my body fell numb. No woman ever made me feel that way before.

What was I doing? A second ago I was thinking that I was going to die. Now I am being kissed by a stranger, not that I'm bothered by it as she was as sexy as hell. She removed my shirt completely, then went to open the button and zip of my trousers and exposed my thighs.

I started to breathe heavily and felt overwhelmed but she was unbearably hot and I couldn't control myself. I removed the rest of my trousers and took off her shirt and exposed now her large bare breasts. She was not wearing any bra from under the long shirt. She pushed me to the wall behind me and started kissing my lips again harshly, then my neck and my chest and kept going down till she reached my man part.

She looked at me with a sexy look and that is when I grabbed her and took her to her room and put her on the bed. I took off her underwear and worked my way in.

She gasped at the feeling and I could hear her mumble as she curved her back sexily.

Suddenly she grabbed my shoulders, pushed me down on the bed roughly and my man part into her and started moving her hips up and down as she moaned.

All of a sudden she placed her head down onto my shoulders and exposed two large fangs and bit through my skin.

I was so shocked at the sight and the feeling of the fangs gashing through my skin that I didn't dare move. I felt the warm blood seeping down my shoulders and the bed.

She gasped and put her hands around her mouth and looked like she woke up from a dream. She jumped off me and rushed outside the room and came back in with some gauze panicking as she mended my wound.

"What have I done! What have I done! I couldn't control myself. It must be the haze. What am I going to do?!" She kept mumbling.

I couldn't speak or move except for my eyes and I could feel my body shaking hard. I closed my eyes pressing them together thinking that I was in deep shit. These things only happen in movies I thought. As I felt my body loosing its heat I fell into unconciousness.
