Wet slippery leaves lay scattered over the slick forest floor, squishing softly beneath his sneaker-clad feet. Thick heavy fog hovered just above the rain soaked ground, making it difficult for the young man to see. With a feeling of growing apprehension and dread, Trevor glanced upward at the dark ominous storm clouds covering the night sky.

A low menacing growl echoed through the rain-drenched forest, causing Trevor’s heart to pound hard inside his chest. Spinning around at the frightening sound, he immediately sensed an evil presence lurking nearby. The terrified young man quickly increased his speed, crashing through the dense forest at a fast and frantic pace. Low hanging tree limbs slashed across his unprotected face, leaving bleeding wounds on his once smooth and flawless skin. After fleeing in terror for several minutes, Trevor was forced to stop and catch his breath.

An unseen presence stood in the dark shadows of the fog-enshrouded forest, silently watching the young man from a short distance away. As she crept slowly up behind her unsuspecting prey, her nostrils flared at the scent of his fresh young blood. A fierce and raging hunger gripped her immortal body as she slowly lowered her mouth to within inches of the human’s enticing neck.

Trevor felt icy tendril of fear seize his exhausted body as an unnaturally cold breath lightly tickled the back of his sensitive neck. Then his body suddenly stiffened in shock when sharp deadly fangs sank deep into the tender flesh at the side of his throat. A low muffled groan escaped from between his slightly parted lips as mingled pain and pleasure washed over him in waves. Dropping to his knees onto the cold wet ground, he felt himself slowly drifting in and out of consciousness. Then a warm and soothing sensation claimed his weakening body, causing the nighttime surroundings to turn darker and gradually fade away.

A smug, triumphant grin spread across the demon’s blood-stained mouth as she gazed down at her victim’s pale and lifeless body. Placing one long, sharp fingernail against her right wrist, she cut a small gash across her unblemished flesh. She then lifted the unconscious man into a sitting position and pressed his mouth to the bleeding wound on her wrist. Trevor stirred slightly in the demon’s strong embrace while he greedily drank the vampire’s life giving blood.
