Chapter 3

Tina

Going out in the night hunting down vampires? Stupid idea. Doing it looking like I should’ve been having dollars shoved in my g-string? Worse idea. I stood in the middle of the park feeling the cold prickly danger feeling and didn’t move since my stupid human brain was hoping it was the rogue female vampire that bites her victims and takes off. Nope. I stood there listening and that was when I heard a voice, but it wasn’t hers. It was male.

“Hey baby, you looking to party tonight?” One.

“You’re looking good in them jeans sweetheart.” Two

“Isn’t it a little bit late for a fine ass girl like you to be by herself?” Three. Oh Shit.

“Come on baby come say hi to us!” Four. From the sound of where their voices were coming, they had me totally surrounded and were not that far away from me. There was no-where for me to go.

“Look, I’m not looking for anything okay? I’m just going to go home. This was a mistake.” I tried to make my voice sound strong but it came out meek and pathetic. I started backing up towards my condo.

“Too bad, we are looking for something. Mistake or not.” The one guy sounded almost angry now.

“Do you really think we’re just gonna let a fine piece of ass like you walk away?” Different guy. They all started laughing. Last chance Tina, book it! I turned and tried to run and ended up running right into one of the guys. He was unshaven and reeked of alcohol and marijuana.

“Where do you think you’re goin’ hotstuff?” He laughed as he held me tighter. All I could think of was how incredibly stupid I had been to attempt this. I hadn’t even brought my cell with me. I tried to wrestle my way out of his grip but I wasn’t strong enough. He shoved me forward into one of the other men’s arms. I could feel his stubble against my cheek as he leaned in to smell me. This was so not how I intended this night to go. I could feel tears welling up behind my eyes but held them back. I refused to show weakness to these men.
