Love for the vampire??

Leopold

For 300 years I have walked this god forsaken earth. I have witnessed wars. Death, diseases that nearly wiped out the entire human race. The depression, the plague. I saw men walk on the moon. All of it. But nothing will ever compare to the day I held my dying wife in my arms.

The memory of that fateful day is still fresh in my memory. The screams as my beautiful wife and unborn daughter. Were murdered in cold blood right in front of me. Still ring in my ears.

That was the day a part of me died as well. Which is ironic seeing as I'm a vampire. I made it my life's mission. To hunt down every family member of the man who took everything from me that day.

So far, I have slaughtered everyone connected to him. It's taken me 300 years. I have finally fulfilled my promise to my dying wife. My scouts that I sent out have reported back to me. There is no one left from that bloodline.

Now I can finally rest. I have nothing left to live for. I will entomb myself for eternity. I will finally be with my beloved.

I shift into my bat and fly off to where my family mausoleum is. Finally, after all these lonely years. I can rest in peace.

I circle the dark empty cemetery looking for the stone structure that holds the bodies of my family. When I finally spot it, I fly down. Shifting as soon as I touch the ground.

I'm thankful for the cover of night. As I make my way to my final resting place. I'm not sure how it would end up. If a human saw a naked man walking around.

I stand in front of the heavy stone entrance. Using my vamp strength. I pry open the doors. When I step in my eyes go directly to the coffin my wife is in.

Walking over to the gold and ivory casket. I lay my head on top of it. My hand strokes the wood aimlessly. Being here feels like we are still connected to each other.

"I did it my love. I have avenged your death. Just like I promised you I would. Now it's time for me to rest. Oh, how I wish we were doing this together. My love for you hasn't ebbed at all over the centuries. There will never be another in my heart."

Placing a kiss on the photo of her. I pad slowly to where my large black coffin sits. I open the locket around my neck. Taking out the little vial in it. I pop the lid and drink the contents.

Many years ago. A witch made a potion for me to take when I decided to retire. It contains the essence of the highly poisonous deathly night shade. If a human ingests it. They will become violently ill. It is fatal for vampires.

I open up the lid of my box and climb in. I lay down on the velvet cushions closing my eyes. My arms begin to feel heavy. My skin feels like it's on fire.

A slight smile appears on my face. Just a few minutes more and I will no longer exist. Tomorrow the name Leopold Monetti will be naught but a distant memory.

Krysta 2023

I'm standing here in my boss's office for the third time this week. His fat face is red and blotchy from shouting at me.

Apparently there has been another complaint from one of the guests. In the hotel I work at. According to them I was caught stealing from their room.

I didn't touch anything I wasn't meant to. I was just doing my job when the male occupant walked in while I was changing the sheets.

He must have seen something he liked. For the next thing I knew. He had me bent over the bed. His hard bulge rubbing against my backside.

I started screaming for him to stop. That's when his fucking bitch of a wife walked in. Instead of helping me. She started yelling at me. Called me a dirty slut over and over.

Her husband never jumped to my defence. Instead, he blamed me. Saying I came onto him. His wife of course believed him. I can guarantee this isn't the first time she's walked in on him with his dick out.

So that's how I've ended up here. My boss is livid. He's raving on and on about how we as employees. Have a duty to uphold a certain quality of decorum.

I'm bracing myself for the words I know are coming any second now.

"Do you realize what this incident could do to our reputation miss Harris? This hotel is one of the finest in the city. I cannot have thief's working here. You are terminated from your employment effective immediately. Please hand in your uniform and access card. Your paycheck will be waiting for you. I wish you all the best. Now please leave my office."

I stand up to leave. Before I open the door. I turn to my former boss. " Before I go sir, I'd like to thank you for giving me this opportunity. It's just a shame that you have so little faith in your employees."

With that, I raise my head with all the pride I can muster. And walk out on the third job I've been fired from in 6 months. I'm really starting to think I'm cursed.

For the past 2 weeks. I've been applying for every fucking job on the planet. From waitressing, dog walking, babysitting. Anything to bring in an income. I've had no call backs or emails. Letting me know my job application was successful.

I'm sitting on my bed looking at the job section in the paper. Nothing is suitable for me. I'm either not qualified, too old or not thin enough. Yes, I even applied to be an exotic dancer. I was told to lose 20 kilograms and reapply.

I throw the paper down in frustration. If I don't find something soon, I'm done for. I'm already 4 weeks behind in my rent. I've been hiding from my landlord. Not answering the phone or door when he tries to reach me. It's only a matter of time. Before he finds me.

At that thought a loud knock sounds on my door. I hold my breath as the banging gets louder. I know who exactly it is. This is the third time this week he's been here.

"Miss Harris open the door. I know you're in there. You can't avoid me forever" I can try I mumble. The knocking stops. I'm just about to breath a relieved sigh. When the jingle of keys gets my heart thumping. Surely, he wouldn't.

My question is answered when he swings the door open and steps in. His filthy eyes roam over my body with lust. He licks his lips, smacking them together.

"Well, I was coming here to kick you out. I think I've got a better idea. " I back away as he starts advancing on me. I can smell the body odour on him from where I am. His fat gut is jiggling when he moves.

I panic when my back hits the wall. Fuck I'm trapped. The pig is practically salivating at the mouth. It's disgusting. His chubby fingers grab my face roughly. He leans in and tries to kiss me.

I bring my knee up and hit him right in the balls. He let's go of me and starts hollering. "You fucking cunt. You'll pay for this " he lunges at me, but I manage to swerve. His large body comes at me again. This time he manages to grab my wrist.

I start screaming when he drags me to the floor. I know what's going to happen. There's nothing I can do to stop it either. He's going to rape me on the floor of my apartment.

All I can do is close my eyes and hope it's over quick. My life after this is never going to be the same again.
