Laura cooed in Simian's ear, "You know that I love you, care for you, want you." She paused. "But I also want blood. I need it! I must have it to survive."

"No! No! Please, I beg of you, spare me!" Simian shouted as he began to cry.


"I cannot......I really cannot........" Laura whispered into his ear, her breath a chilly gust sweeping across and into it. "But if you love me, you will let me drain you, so that we will be together for all eternity."


"No! Please.......I beg of you......" Simian stammered as he tried to avert her red eyes.


Her eyes, red and fierce, held him, bound him to her. He couldn't move, he couln't leave. He was hers.


"Simain......Simian....Simian......" Laura clicked her tongue as her mouth moved to create the sad words. She shook her head, and smiled, her gleaming white, pointed teeth curling out over her lower lip.


Simian gulped, and tried to turn his head away. He feebly belted out, "I can't be one of you! One of the damned! Forsaken by all!"


Laura slapped him hard across the cheek, leaving nails marks on his paling skin. "Fool!" She hissed. "What do you know of the so called damned? We hold power, we are strong-" She gripped him by the chin, bringing his face closer to hers. "I can give you everything you want...money, power, women......but only if you give me something in return."

Simian twitched and twittered, then replied, "Please....Laura...."

Laura shook her head. "I must do this Simian......if I don't, I shall perish......but in a most horrible way." She stopped, sighed, then continued her sad tale. "If I do not feed, I will slumber, forever, feeling pain, exploding pain, controlling me, taking me over."

"But...Laura.......I could help you, save you, try and get you help. But please, do not kill me." He pleaded with her.

"No!" She suddenly shouted, furious. "No! I will feed on you, and you will join me!" Her dry tear ducts yearned for fluids, yearned to let her cry. "Simian....it must be this way..." She gently finished.

"Please.....Laura.....please....." He begged and pleaded.

Laura shook her head. "It's too late. I have to feed. Now." She lowered her head, and tilted his chin upward.

"No....." Simian moaned as he broke away from her, for a split second, and jabbed the stake upward, and into her chest.

Laura's red eyes widened, and she let out a gasp, before she spoke her last words, "Why?......" Her eyes closed as a trickle of blood ran down her chin.

Simian chuckled quietly as he let Laura's limp body slip of over his. "She never saw it coming." He mused as he headed back to the church, to collect his pay.

He was Simian, the vampire hunter. He was Simian, the great, the brave. He was Simian, who had killed the last vampire. Tho he was victorious, he felt a twinge of pain, a hurt in his heart. A mourning grief over his lost live, the damned, cursed, forsaken, the beautiful Laura.
