Chapter One

The room was dark and cold. She didn't know how long she had been there. Her mouth was numb from the gag. Her wrists ached from being bound together for so long. Tears she had cried long ago had dried and made her cheeks feel stiff. Sleep was impossible.

Sherl would do anything to change things. She had only made a wrong turn down the winding corridors and had gotten lost. If she only hadn't seen what she did, she would be safe now in her bed at home. Her eyes scrunched up as she felt hot tears come again. Now all she could do was wait.

************************************************************************************** Sherl and Kristy made their way through the huge party. They had been invited from a friend of a friend. It was being held in a three-story house in one of the most exclusive country clubs in the city. Sherl, dressed in a short, elegant dress, scanned the guests. Some she knew some she didn't. But one guest in particular caught her eye. He was tall, deep green eyes, and long dark hair. Pulling herself up, she walked by him. She gave him a small smile as he caught her eye.

"I don't think I know you," he said.

"I don't think so either," Sherl said.

"What would you're name be?" he asked.

"Sherl," she said.

"Sherl, I'm Kevin, it's been a pleasure to meet you," he said as he took her hand and kissed her fingers.

"Kevin, I need you downstairs," another guest with fire engine red hair said, coming up to Kevin.

"AJ, can't you see I'm busy?" Kevin asked.

"This can't wait. I think you'll like it," AJ said. Sherl didn't know if she was imagining it, but she thought she heard something almost sinister in AJ's voice.

She let out a disappointed sigh as Kevin said good-bye and left to follow AJ.
**************************************************************************************
It had been an hour and Kevin hadn't returned tot he party. Sherl hadn't found any other guest that was as intriguing as him. Maybe I'll go find him, she thought, hoping he had not left.

"Kristy, I'm going to the ladies' room," Sherl said.

"Well, if I don't see you again tonight, meet me out at the car, OK?" Kristy said.

Sherl went in the same direction Kevin had left in earlier. She came upon a door that said, "Do Not Enter." Things like that had never stopped her. Sherl was known for her ability to get in anywhere she wanted. She could pick her way into the professor's locked file cabinet containing the final exams or sweet talk her way into the VIP room of the posh club.

The door was not locked which made her job ten times easier. She opened the door and followed a dark staircase into the basement. What am I doing, her voice screamed inside her head? She knew she was crazy for following someone she didn't know into a dimly lit basement.

A door down the hall was cracked about ten feet ahead of her. She crept up to it quietly as she heard whispering coming from within. If they were the residents of the house, she didn't want to get caught now.

"Do it quick," a male voice said.

"Shut up. I don't like to be rushed," another voice said.

"It's your turn to get rid of the bodies," the first voice said in annoyance. Sherl felt a knot form in the pit of her stomach. Cautiously, she tried to peer into the partially opened doorway. She saw two male figures. One was bent over cradling something or someone in his arms. The other was leaning against the wall, blowing out smoke from a cigarette he was holding.

Sherl froze. Though she couldn't see his face, she recognized that long hair from earlier that night. It was Kevin. She squinted looking at the other. The fire engine red hair gave him away. The other was AJ.

Sherl first thought was to get the hell out of there. Whatever they were talking about, she knew it wasn't good. She started to back away from the door. She cursed out loud as she bumped into something in the hallway.

"What was that?" she heard one say.

"I don't know. I'll check it out," the other said. AJ came out of the room and stared at Sherl.

"What are you doing here?" he demanded.

"Nothing. I swear to God," Sherl cried. She looked for an escape but Kevin and AJ blocked both ways out of the corridor.

"Bullshit you didn't see anything," Kevin said grabbing her. Sherl let out a small scream when she saw two long pointed fangs curling over Kevin's bottom lip.

"Just kill her and get it over with," AJ said. "Three bodies are as easy to get rid of as two."

"I'm supposed to meet my friend back upstairs. She'll know if I'm missing," Sherl whimpered.

"Fine, we'll take care of your friend too," AJ said. "Hey, Kevin. Nick hasn't fed yet, has he?"

"No, I don't think he has. Let's go," Kevin said, dragging Sherl down the corridor with him. She struggled against his grip but he was too strong for her. They got to the doorway Sherl sneaked into.

"Now, you get your friend to come upstairs with us," AJ growled.

"And what if I don't. What if I scream bloody murder in the middle of the party?"
Sherl spat.

"We might not kill you now, but we will sooner or later. Get your friend to come upstairs with us and we might spare the both of you," Kevin said.

Sherl had no choice. She tried to act as if nothing was wrong as she walked back out into the party. A smile spread across Kristy's face when she saw Sherl's companions.

"Hey Kristy. Look what I bumped into," Sherl said, trying to mask the fear in her voice.

"Your friend here told us that you like to party. How about joining us upstairs?" AJ said with a charismatic smile.

"Sure!" Kristy exclaimed. Sherl remained silent. She had to find someway top warn Kristy. She knew better than to trust than to trust what Kevin had said. If they didn't get out of that party soon, neither Sherl nor Kristy where going to live to see another sunrise.

**************************************************************************************
Chapter Two

Sherl tried to erase the image of Kristy, lying motionless on the floor, her neck broken. Why hadn't she screamed, shouted, done anything when she had gotten to the lobby. The death of her friend was Sherl's fault.

She didn't have the courage to save her.

**************************************************************************************

She was wailing uncontrollably. Kevin let Kristy's lifeless body fall to the floor.

"Shut her up!" Kevin yelled.

A strong arm wrapped around her waist and a hand covered her mouth. She kicked and punched at whoever was holding her but it was all in vain.

"Kevin, stop playing with her. Just kill her and let's get out of here," Howie said. Howie was another handsome stranger who joined Kevin and AJ upstairs. He was obviously bored with the whole situation.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Kevin said, moving closer to Sherl. She winced as his cold finger caressed her cheek. "You know. I've never had a puppy. Something for me to play with," he said, getting a wicked grin on his face.

"What! Are you crazy? We can't keep her," the person said who was holding her. She had heard the others call him "Nick."

"Then why don't you kill her?" Kevin hissed, looking straight at Nick.

"Because I don't want to. I don't kill for pleasure like you do," Nick said back.

"I forgot. You're too much of a pussy for that," Kevin said in disgust. He turned his attention back to Sherl. "But that's exactly what I'm going to keep her for. Pleasure," Kevin said and laughed as he walked away from her.

"Tie her up. I don't want her trying to escape while I'm out," Kevin said.

"How are we going to keep this a secret?" Nick protested.

"You know, I am so sick of you complaining. God! I wish I had never made you!" Kevin said, turning back on Nick, his eyes flashing. Nick said nothing.

"Remember, I created you. I can destroy you," Kevin said through clenched teeth. "Now tie her up!"

Nick obeyed Kevin's command. He silently cursed Kevin under his breath. Kevin was always throwing his power around. Nick couldn't wait until he was strong enough to escape Kevin's hold on him.

**************************************************************************************

Sherl was blinded as light poured in from the open doorway. It quickly disappeared as someone shut the door. She heard a click and a soft light illuminated the room. She looked up to see it was Nick.

He approached her and she turned her head away from him. Nick untied the gag from her mouth. She didn't bother to scream. It's not like anyone would hear her and she would probably be dead before anyone found her anyway.

"Now, can I trust you enough to untie your hands?" Nick asked. Sherl nodded. After he untied her hands, he handed her a bottle of water from the small refrigerator.

After taking a few sips, Sherl spoke up, "Why do you let him order you around?"

"What?" Nick asked in an annoyed tone.

"Why do you let him push him around? You're obviously the same thing he is, stand up to hi," Sherl said.

"For your information, I don't let him push me around," Nick said.

"Why don't you let me go? Or are you too afraid of him? Maybe you are a pussy, just like he said," Sherl said.

"You bitch!" Nick said and his hand flew out, connecting with the side of Sherl's face. She let out a yelp and held her hand to her throbbing cheek.

"Hitting girls. Yeah, that proves you're a man," Sherl said.

"I was going to come here to warn you. But forget it now. I can't wait to see what Kevin has in store for you tonight," Nick said bitterly.

"I can take whatever he tries," Sherl said brushing the hair out of her face. She didn't have the reputation of being a bad girl in college for nothing.

"I don't think you can. Kevin is a master of torture. And he loves every minute of it," Nick said with a sneer.

**************************************************************************************

Nick had tied her back up after he had left. She hadn't seen Kevin since he decided not to kill her. The hours seemed like an eternity. She wondered how long she would be able to hold up.

After what seemed like forever, Nick returned following Kevin into the room. Kevin held a velvet box in one hand. He moved behind Sherl and bent down until she could feel his breath on the back of her neck. It was cold and made her shiver. He reached around and opened the box, showing her the contents.

"These are for you, dear," he said. Sherl looked into the box. It was a mess of delicate gold chains and sparkling crystal beads. It didn't look like your everyday type of jewelry. Sherl shivered hoping it wasn't what she thought it was.

"What are they?" she whispered.

"Nick will put them on for you. He will help you get ready for me," Kevin said. He untied her hands and ran the tip of his tongue along her ear. "Now go get pretty, love." Sherl stood up and turned to glare at him. Kevin raised his fist as if he was going to swat her. She flinched and coward away from him.

"That's right. I won't tolerate any insolence from you! I'll be back in a half hour," Kevin said. "Get her ready!" he said pointing at Nick and left the room.

"Go take a bath. Don't take too long," Nick said.

"What is that in the box?" Sherl asked.

"Kevin likes to dress up his toys. You'll see," Nick said. Sherl went into the bathroom and drew a hot bath. It was the only thing that felt good to her since her imprisonment. Nick came into the bathroom. He handed her a razor,"Don't forget to shave." Sherl took the razor with a shaking hand, "What? My legs?"

"No, everything," Nick said.

"Everything?" she asked.

Nick grabbed her roughly by the wrist, "Fine, I'll do it. Stupid girl."

"No!" Sherl said trying to break free from his grip.

"Don't fight me, Damnit!" Nick growled. His eyes lightened so much they were almost yellow. Sherl saw the sharp flash of his fangs. She settled down. Nick proceeded to shave away her hair as if he had done it a million times before. Sherl could feel her face burn with embarrassment.

He noticed, "Get used to this. This won't be the last time I see you naked."

As she dried herself off, she couldn't help but notice the new sensation the rough towel made on her now bare skin. She looked at herself in the mirror. Nick came back into the bathroom behind her. He stood behind her and looked at her himself.

"This is one thing I agree with Kevin on," Nick said and ran his hand over her belly to between her legs. Sherl's body stiffened at his cold touch.

"You're so much more sensitive now," he said. "Kevin wants you to feel everything he does to you."

"Now what?" Sherl whispered.

"Now I must dress you," Nick said. He led her back out into the bedroom and removed one of the chains from the velvet box. He wrapped it around her hips and clasped it. The chain hung low and beads dangled down in front trying to hide her soft folds. Nick took out earrings, bracelets, and anklets; all made of the fine gold and adorned with the same crystal beading, and put them on her.

"Why do you do this for him?" she said quietly.

"Because maybe I'll get lucky and I'll get to fuck too," Nick said.

"You don't mean that," Sherl said.

"Kevin is my sire. He created me. I must do what he wills," he answered.

"Won't you ever be able to escape him?" Sherl asked. Nick looked up from the anklet he was fastening. His face softened for a moment, "someday, I won't need his blood anymore."

"Will I ever be free of him?" she said.

"I don't know. Kevin does things on whims. He could kill you tonight, keep you for months, or make you one of us. No one knows his decisions," nick said.

"And what are you?" Sherl asked.

"I think you know the answer to that, Sherl. Vampires, nosferatu, creatures of the night, whatever you like," Nick said. He pulled another long chain out of the box. He stared at her bare breasts.

"This won't do," he said. He took one of her nipples between his fingertips and started to pinch it. Sherl tried to ignore the sensation. "No," she whimpered.

"You have no idea what he's going to do t you?" Nick said. Sherl shook her head. He continued to tease her nipples and despite herself, she felt them stiffen.

"Perfect," he said. He took one end of the chain and encircled one nipple with an open clasp. It closed around the hard flesh and slightly pinched her. He did the same to the other. Now her breasts were connected in a web of gold and crystal.

"One last thing," Nick said. He swept her hair up and secured it with gold pins. He brought he to look at herself in the mirror. He ran his hands down her slim body adorned with the gold.

"You look like a goddess," he said and started to suck softly on the back of her neck. She closed her eyes and tried to pretend she wasn't here.

"Enough!" she heard Kevin shout as he entered the room.

Nick stepped away from Sherl. He stiffened and almost looked like he was standing at attention. Kevin moved to stand in front of her. A wicked grin crossed his face. He traced his finger along the underside of her breast. She cringed at his touch.

He stared deep into her eyes. Sherl almost felt like she was in a trance. Without unlocking his gaze from hers, Kevin spoke, "Nick, get undressed."

For the first time, Sherl noticed Kevin had on only a robe and a pair of silk pajama pants. He removed the robe exposing his hard muscles. Sherl remained silent. Nick went into the dressing area and disrobed. He came back, completely naked, and stood against the wall with his arms folded behind his back. His eyes gave away nothing as he stared at the opposite wall.

Kevin walked over to the wet bar and fixed a drink. The only sound in the room was the clinking of the ice in the glass. He returned to Sherl. He slid the glass over her nipple, teasing her. She swallowed thickly; hoping this would be over soon.

"I'm sure Nick ahs already told you he's my creation. He's a beautiful creature, isn't he?" Kevin said, running a hand down Nick's chest. Nick's face betrayed no emotion. Sherl felt like he had been through this before. He didn't even flinch as Kevin's hand followed the muscles of Nick's abdomen down to his cock. Sherl was slightly revolted as Kevin started to lightly stroke it. Nick closed his eyes for a moment and Sherl could see him try to swallow a lump in his throat as his Adam's apple moved. It was then that she realized that Kevin's pleasure wasn't just to torture her. It was to torture Nick, also.

"When I first saw him, I thought he looked like an angel. The soft skin, the light eyes. He was begging for me to take him. Begging for me to take him and make him my dark angel," Kevin whispered. He reached out a hand towards Sherl.

"Come here," Kevin said. "Touch him. He doesn't mind, do you, Nick?" Nick just lowered his eyes towards the floor. Sherl stood frozen in her spot.

"I said, come here!" Kevin growled. Sherl moved to stand by Kevin's side. He grabbed her hand. "Now. You need to get Nick ready. He made sure to prepare you for me. It's only polite to return the favor."

Sherl closed her eyes and tentatively reached her hand out. She let her fingers barely brush him. She looked up and met Nick's gaze. His lips didn't move and he uttered no sound but Sherl thought she could hear him distinctly say, "It's OK. Do it before he does."

She gently wrapped her fingers around his length. The skin was silken, one of the softest things she had ever touched. She felt him harden under her touch. "That's right," Kevin said softly. "He's quite impressive when he's fully erect." Within minutes, Nick's member was standing full and throbbing away from his body. Sherl could see a fine sheen of sweat covering his body. Kevin moved away and pulled a high chair away from the bar.

"Nick, take a seat," Kevin said. Nick silently moved to sit in the chair. Kevin walked over to Sherl and ran his hands down her arms. He pressed his body against her and drew in a sharp breath. She could feel Kevin was as erect as Nick was.

"Now I want you to hold her," Kevin said.

"Sherl, come here," Nick said. His strong hands guided her to his lap. She sat down, shivering against his cold skin.

"Nick, you know better than that. I want you to hold her," Kevin said putting the emphasis on the word "hold." 

"Kevin," Nick said.

"Do it!" Kevin shouted. Nick let out a deep breath. Without warning, his strong hands grabbed Sherl around her waist and lifted her up. She let out a cry as he impaled he onto his cock. Pain shot through her body as Nick's thick shaft filled her. He moved her legs and told her to hook her feet behind the chair. He grabbed her arms and pinned them behind her back. The position made Sherl's breasts thrust forward towards Kevin. Her muscles were stretched to the point of breaking. Again, she heard Nick's voice in her head, "Just breath. It will be over soon."
