The sheets were tangled around her naked body. Her heart raced and then suddenly stopped thudding in her chest. Her fingers grazed the two tiny puncture marks in her neck. Beneath her touch, the wound was already - inexplicably - healing.
Though the house was dark, she could see everything clearly, though she hardly knew what she was searching for. Amado? Where did he go?
The thirst burned at the back of her throat. She ran to the kitchen, legs carrying her faster than she thought possible. A half empty glass of water lay on the counter. She lifted it to her lips, ready to greedily consume its contents. But when her fist closed around the cup, it shattered into pieces in her hand.
What is happening to me? she thought in a panic.
She smelled the blood before she saw it dripping from her hand. The odor made her knees weak. She tentatively touched the tip of her tongue to the wound. The taste of the blood, so fresh and warm, was better than finest meal she'd ever sampled - so good it brought an animalistic moan.
Like a wild animal, she sniffed at the air, catching the scent of something she didn't fully understand. Footsteps fell softly on the stairs. Instinct took over and carried her to the noise.
Though she didn't understand the urges taking her over, sensing the impending danger, she hoped that no one she knew would be on the other side of the door.

Wow! I went back and read from chapter 1 onwards. Great tale!
Some of the best writing yet, especially when she is tasting the blood! Who is behind the door? I hope it is not Jehovas witnesses! haha!
oh this one is hot. brought back memories of the vampire chronicles...the discovery of her knewlife as she stumbles around in her newness...too rich.
It is weeks since the last episode but the story has the capacity to stay in the mind. I guess that is what is meant by riveting
Me want more, me want more! This was just too short. Still it is great and please can we have just a little more next time. But at the same time I know you are very busy, so it really is okay if you keep it short. Seriously, I think that now I should not whine at all and I will be grateful for whatever you give us. And congrats on winning your case.
God bless.
good stuff! It's not easy being a vampire.
It does not take much to "wig" me out...just the anticipation of someone on the OTHER side of the door makes my heart race...
well written. it's freaking me out. I never want to be a vampire victim (I guess that's a vampire?)
Nice! You had a good theme to use to incorporate this week.
Great continuation!
Short but intense! And reading your new story, as well....
Great writing. Happy TT!~
Great to have you back with the Vampire stories. I sort of missed the love scene tho! Suspenseful as always. Hope things are settling down for you at work. . .the weekend's nearly here!
Great write Jamie! Why do I feel a sudden need to string garlic around my neck? Unfortunately all I have is that diced stuff in the jar. It makes for a messy necklace. :)
wooohooo! new followers!
I read this out of order but dang...I could just feel her need to have that blood.
