Lose the Drive, Watch Dreams Dive

"Maria, that was amazing but I seriously need some rest now." Steve gasped as he slumped back on Connor's crappy bunk.

"Sure, I'm ok too... for now," Maria grinned and joined Steve on the bed. They embraced each other, and soon, exhaustion took over, lulling them into a deep sleep.

Maria was running through the forest, running away from something with great speed, almost sprinting. Yet she heard the sounds coming closer and closer, but it was weird since the sounds were in front of her. Why am I running towards the sounds, Maria tried to figure it out. No, she wasn't running away, she was running after something. Or someone. I have to find out who this is and why they are running away from me, she determined. She felt no fatigue as she kept running at an impossible speed. Soon, she caught up with the runner - it was Connor. She called out but he continued to flee.

**** for answers, Maria lunged forward, tackling Connor to the ground. Connor faced her with panic in his eyes. Maria wanted to explain to him he has nothing to fear and for some odd reason she chose that hugging him was the most efficient way to show it. She hugged him tightly, enjoying his scent. She wanted to test if the taste of his skin also matched his inviting scent so she licked his neck. He was trembling in her embrace and somehow that didn't bother her that much, he was probably confused or something.

His taste was intoxicating and she wanted more of it. I will show him there is no need to fear me, I'll kiss neck, maybe give him a hickey, and he will see that I have no bad intentions, she tried to get a grasp on this weird situation. She kissed his neck and sucked on his skin until something wonderful filled her mouth. Was it his sweat? Maria didn't know what it was but she loved it. She continued doing it until Connor stopped resisting and gave in. Finally, he calmed down. Even his breath slowed down so much she couldn't hear him breathing anymore. She moved away from his neck and she saw horror in front of her. It wasn't Connor anymore but Steve. His neck was covered with blood and he wasn't moving - he was dead.

"Good job, my love," a familiar voice behind her congratulated. Nikolai.

Maria opened her eyes and stared in the pitch black room, trying to figure out where she was. Steve was lying beside her in deep sleep and she remembered the cabin, the vampire hunter, everything. She was horny and engulfed in dark desires more than ever before. She assumed her weird dreams might be the reason for her arousal but then there was nothing sexual about her dreams.

"Steve, wake up, I think it's time again," she whispered, nudging him gently. But Steve remained lost in slumber, undisturbed by her words.

"Steve, wake up. Please." Maria shook his shoulder.

"What...what is it?" Steve grumbled as he turned away from her, covering himself with the blanket.

"I think we should do it again, Steve. I think he can sense me," she proposed, voice laced with worry.

"I can't Maria, not now. I'm tired as fuck, please just let me sleep for an hour or so." Steve responded, exhaustion from the day taking its toll on him.

Maria didn't know if she should press on and insist on another round of sex but soon his snoring made her realize he obviously couldn't perform very well even if she woke him up forcefully. In the end she concluded he would need energy the next day so she let him sleep.

She snuck back in bed and rolled away from Steve and her thoughts slowly carried her away to sleep.

Strange sounds from outside the cabin startled Steve awake. He turned around and found he was alone in bed. He called for Maria but she wasn't in the cabin. Instantly, panic surged through his veins, and he quickly darted outside, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

The crackling fire illuminated a harrowing scene. Connor's lifeless body lay near the flames, his position unnaturally still. Steve approached cautiously, his fingers trembling as they brushed against Connor's cold skin, confirming the worst. Connor was dead, his neck broken,

Steve looked around, trying to see anything that could give him a clue what was happening and where Maria was. He saw nothing and could hear only his thumping heartbeat and rapid breathing. Right then he heard a faint sound that did not fit the sounds of the forest. He couldn't discern what it was exactly but they sounded distinctly human.

"Shit, that could be Maria. Fuck!" Steve trembled and sneaked through the woods in direction of the creepy sounds.
