Aphrodite's blog: "My vampire story"

“Well boss lady I’m a lonely girl I need a mate,” I joke “Really Des I need someone to spend eternity with me.”

“Well dear the only advise I can give you is it’s your life don’t screw it up, I just want you to introduce whomever it is you choose before you turn them.” She says.

“Of course boss lady,” I chuckle

“Why on earth do you call me boss lady?” she asked then stood

“Because it annoys you so,” I reply.

She smile kisses my forehead and walked to her headwaiter and says something to him and walks off. After she walks off the headwaiter comes rushing over.

“I was ordered to get you anything you need,” he says not even looking at me.

“The boss lady is out doing herself isn’t she, I don’t need anything now,” I tell him but he doesn’t move “Are you going to stand there the whole time?”

“Orders,” he said

“Well don’t stand in the middle of the table I can’t see a damn thing move moron,” I quietly shout. He moves.

I sit there and watch everyone. I don’t know what I’m looking for. Do I want someone who looks innocent or hard?  It’s so complicated.

Then she walks in the door and it feels like a bolt of lightning hits me. She’s a little bit shorter than me, her hair is deep red and shoulder length and last but not least her smile is beautiful.

“Hey dingus did you see that girl walk in?” I said, “I want her name.”

“Right away mistress,” and with that he was gone.

It took a few minutes for him to return.

“She said to call her Butterfly mistress, a nineteen year old waitress,” he listed. “You want me to have her sit with you.”

“Of course dingus!” I yelled. A couple of people turned their heads to see who was shouting.. “Ask what she would like to drink escort her to my table and then you disappear.”

“Yes Mistress,” he was gone.

Before the girl could get to my table a goofy looking boy comes up to my table and sits.

“Go away,” I tell him as mean as I can.

“Oh my god you’re a vampire, so tell me,” I cut his rambling off.

“You need to go or I will kill you,” I whispered. He started to ramble again. So bit him bled him dry. I snapped my fingers and he was taken away. The bus boys cleaned the seat. As they finished Butterfly approached the table.

“Umm some dopey looking waiter asked what I wanted to drink and said you wanted to see me,” she murmured “Are you V.I.P or something?”

“You could say that I know the boss lady and you don’t have to sit if you don’t want to it was an offer,” I explained, “You drinks and everything are free.”

“Well I was going to sit simply because you are cute but how can I turn down a free drink,” she chuckled as she sat down.

“Your drink Madame,” the waiter said as he sat her drink down, “Anything else mistress?”

“I’m good dingus,” I said. I could tell he was getting irritated with me calling him dingus but it was fun.

“His name is dingus?” she asked trying not to laugh.

“No I just like to test peoples patience it’s entertaining,” I explained. “Why is a pretty little thing like you in a vampire bar?”

“Well I have always had a fantasy that I would one day meet a vampire and now that people know you exist I don’t have to be a ‘social outcast’ anymore and my friend told me about Desdemona’s,” she explained “Now I’m sitting here with you. It’s a little weird I feel like a piece of meat here.”

“You are, that’s how most vampires view pretty little girls like you,” I said with a wink. “Why did you want to meet a vampire, there has to be something specific that you wanted to me my kind?”

“I think it was their beauty more than anything, the color of their skin and most of all their eyes. I know sounds dumb huh,” she explains

“No not at all that’s why I am what I am today. Do you want to have that beauty?” I asked.

There was an awkward silence between us.  I didn’t know what else to say. I asked now all I needed was an answer. I was nervous.

“I don’t know, where would I live? Who would I learn from? There are so many questions,” she panics.

“Here come with me I know who you could talk to,” I said as I pull her up. “Desdemona!”

I walk her to Desdemona. Her office was in the back through the kitchen. Her cute little secretary tried to stop me from going in, but I pushed her away and walked in. I should have waited she was busy. She was feeding on an older man. It startled Butterfly. I covered her eyes to save her from anymore trauma.

“Sorry boss lady didn’t mean to barge in but your incompetent help failed to tell me you were feeding,” I lied. “This is Butterfly she has questions for you that I can not answer.”

“Come in dear ask me anything,” she tells Butterfly and then looks at me and says, “I know I will take care of her,”

“Thanks boss,” I say as I went out the door.

“Don’t call me tha…” I shut the door before she could finish and went back to my table and waited.

As I sat there I noticed something peculiar about a young man in the corner of the bar. He wasn’t eating or drinking and he was alone. I got up and pointed him out to Lilith. She was already watching him. In order to figure out more I had to get close.. I walked over to the jukebox and pretended to be amused. His coat was open and I got a glance of the things he had. A silver stakes and an ax. I quickly kicked the machine as if it took my money and walked away.

“Lilith he’s going to kill a vampire, he has silver stakes and an ax, I’m not in the mood to fight can you handle him?” I say quietly.

“I’m on it, watch the door,” she said.

She walked over to the gut and with her massive hand hit him in the head and knocked him out. He fell on the floor with a loud thud. Everyone cheered. Lilith grabbed his by his foot and dragged him outside. She took his weapons and threw them on the roof. After everything settles down Desdemona finds me. Lilith and I fill her in on what just happened.  She reprimands Lilith for letting him in. Then she buys a round of drinks for everyone. Butterfly comes out of the office shortly after Desdemona buys the drinks.

“Are you ok?” Butterfly asked.

“I’m ok, you want to sit down?” I said as I escorted her back to our table. She’s quiet for a while as if she is in shock.

“Are you ok? How did the talk go with the boss lady?” I asked.

“It went well, she is very knowledgeable, she explained so much to me, so with that I think I will wait for another date with you before I make my choice. Lets say here tomorrow night,” she says as she gets up and walks out the door. I have no idea what to say so I let her go.

I stay at the table for a long time wondering what all Desdemona said to Butterfly. Was she telling her to go through with it or not too. I’m worried.

“Hey dingus I’m hungry. That girl sitting there by the door, bring her to me.” I demand

“Right away Madame,” he says.

The girl is sat down at my table. She isn’t very tall at all. She has black hair and very dark eyes very beautiful. She does not look happy at all.

“What the hell am I here for? Why am I being put here? Do I know you?” she yells.

“Calm down damn, do you want a drink?” I say.

“What do you want?” she asked

“Well let’s start with your name.” I whispered.

“My name is Alisha. I still want to know what you want. Your stupid ass server pulled me by my arm and forced me over here,” she says with a pout.

“I apologize for dingus here he’s an idiot,” I say. “What can I do to make you feel better?”

“I want a drink,” Alisha demands.

“I know the perfect place lets go,” I say

I lead her to a back office where Desdemona lets me feed on people I want to play with. I sit her down in the chair and pour her a drink. I keep pouring her drinks until she is completely wasted. Then I watch her. She gets up and falls forward. I catch her so she doesn’t hit the floor. She kisses me and pulls up where she is standing. I lift her of the floor and lay her on the couch. I kiss her cheek, her neck and she takes a deep breath. I bite so quick she shivers. Her blood is sweet. She’s breathless; I pull her arms from around my neck and leave the office.

“Hey dingus, there’s a mess in there clean it up,” I demand. “Hey boss lady I’m going to go big night tomorrow.”

“Alright tough girl see you tomorrow,” Desdemona says as I walk out the door.

I get home and notice a smell. I walk in the back and it gets worse. I realize the smell is coming from the grotto. Tank my gangster meal is still floating in the water. I pull him out wrap him in a tarp and take him to the swamp. Now I have to drain the water and call the pool guy. I turn in for the day with all this stress on my mind.

I awake restless but excited because of the evening ahead. I put on a pinstripe halter and tight black jeans and head out.

I arrive at Desdemona’s and there at the door was Lilith again.

“Hey wolfie,” I laugh as I walk in. I can hear her laughing.

I take a seat in the usual spot and wait.

I start to get hungry as I’m waiting. I look around the room for a tasty treat. Across the room I see a girl with really pale skin, but she isn’t a vampire. Then I see Desdemona head towards me and sit down.

“Her blood is sour, a she’s an albino her body is to frail to produce many antibodies to make the blood sweet,” she explained.

“But I am hungry and want something different,” I whine

“I know,” she says and jumps up and heads to the kitchen.  When she comes back she has a big wine glass full of blood.

“This is the rarest of blood I keep is frozen it is refreshing, I warmed it, I will tell you what it is when you drink it,” she explains. So I drink.
