Kaithe DameFrom the moment she woke up, Penny had a bad feeling. It made her so sick, she almost stayed in bed all day, though she had a feeling that no matter what she did, the bad thing she dreamt about and made her ill, -which she couldn't remember anymore- would've happened regardless. So when she was whisked off her front porch after she got home from the library, she was almost expecting it.
"Lookie, the bookworm awakes!"
Penny felt like her eyes were glued shut and it took all her willpower to just open them. A light above her shone brightly and she shut her eyes tight again, waiting for them to adjust. What happened? What she drugged? After taking stock of what hurt and what didn't, she realized she was hit over the head and had a splitting headache.
"Hey, don't go back to sleep, sweetheart. We're waiting for the party to start!"
"Shut up, idiot. It's because you have that light up all the way! Turn it down!"
Penny didn't recognize the two voices in front of her, but she was slightly relieved when the light on the opposite side of her eyelids dimmed. She peeked her eyes open and jerked back into her chair. A man's face was a few inches away from hers and if she studied it hard enough, she could see fangs in his mouth. She was slightly relieved she wasn't crazy and would've been more so if she wasn't so clearly kidnapped. She told her therapist that she could've sworn vampires lived next to her, but that caused her therapist to prescribe her stronger meds. For the past few months, she'd been dreaming about a hoard of them kidnapping her and sucking her dry until death.
"W-what do you w-want?" She hated how her voice stuttered, but the fear that penetrated her heart made her voice shake. Truth be told, those dreams she had scared her to death. She didn't want to die. She was too young. Vampires weren't even supposed to be real!
"Oh, we don't want anything from you... but our boss? She said theres something special about you. Something in your blood that she just couldn't ignore." The vampire that spoke to her was tall and lanky. His hair was a mess of dreadlocks and despite his dark skin, he still looked... pale.
"M-My blood? T-There's nothing wrong with i-it."
He snickered and shook his head. "You poor humans. This is why we kill you off for sport and drink. You're all so... small minded. It's a wonder any of your kind had survived as long as they have."
"W-what?" Penny was beyond confused and scared. She twisted her bound wrist and winced at the pain from the rope that scraped against them. She wasn't getting out. She wasn't strong enough, nor did she have any weapons.
"Is she ready?!" A woman called from down the hall. The voice itself seemed to invoke fear and paralysis in Penny and she felt tears run down her cheeks as sobs threatened to break free from her chest.
"She's all yours boss!" The two men left and were replaced by a short, athletic woman. She had red eyes and long brown hair. "Penny. So good to see you." She walked up and wiped the tears off her cheeks. "It's been a while, huh?"
Penny sobbed and shut her eyes. She knew this woman. She was a frequent reader at the library. She always showed up during Penny's shift and tended to strike up a conversation with her every time. Penny thought she was nice, amicable. They had a lot in common, though it seemed as if it was all a lie.
"P-please. Whatever I did, I'm sorry. I won't tell anyone, just let me go Beckah."
"Sorry hun, 'fraid I can't do that. Any last words you'd like me to pass on?"
Penny didn't think she could cry any harder than she was. She lowered her head to her chest and tried to stop the trembling in her body. This wasn't supposed to happen. It wasn't supposed to end like this.
"Such a pity. Goodbye Penny. For what it's worth, I did enjoy getting to know you."
Penny felt pain erupt from her neck and she died.
