Jessica Chooses Self Preservation

Jessica watches the pulsing arteries in Sally's neck. She is ravenous.

"Sally, I'm so sorry..." Jessica trails off, as crawls towards the innocent girl.

Sally says nothing. Her eyes are screwed shut, tight. Jessica places a hand on Sally's neck, feeling her pulse. The hunger becomes unbearable. She bends down, piercing the soft skin of Sally's neck as gently as she can. Sally let's out a gasp, but doesn't move. The exquisite blood pools in Jessica's mouth. She savors the thick, sweet taste over her tongue, before swallowing. She gulps the blood down eagerly, hoping to make this as quick as possible for the unfortunate girl.

Jessica feels Sally's heart stop. "I'm so sorry" Jessica whispers into the ear of the cooling body. She holds the body, softly crying to herself. She despises the monster she has become. But she can't deny it herself, the kill is exhilarating, the blood splendid. I will never take a human life again Jessica swears silently to herself. She considers an oath about consuming human blood, but knows she could never keep it. The blood is too delectable.

After an unknown amount of time, Jessica can hear heels clicking down the hallway. Is this Elizabeth, come to finally end this? Jessica wonders.

She looks up to see a pale vampiress she has never seen before. The vampiress is about 5'5", and wears a tight leather bodysuit. Her hair is raven black, and she is fairly curvy.

The vampiress opens the cell and enters. "I'm so happy to see that you've fed, Jessica" the vampiress says slowly as if she were addressing a child. "Your skin is positively radiant!"

Jessica says nothing, looking at the open bars. Can I run for it? Jessica wonders...

"Don't be silly, Jessica, where would you go? We can teach you how to control yourself. You'd be a butcher on your own" the vampiress laughs.

Jessica frowns, but has to admit to herself that the vampiress is likely right.

"How rude! I haven't introduced myself! My name is Jade" the vampiress says, extending a hand to Jessica. Jessica reluctantly takes the hand. "I've been Elizabeth's daughter for forty years now. Come on now, Jessica, Elizabeth would like to see you in her private bath."

Jade

Jessica, curious, follows Jade through the maze-like house. They arrive at a heavy, dark wooden door. Jade knocks, and pushes the heavy door open. She gives Jessica a curt shove in the small of her back, pushing her into the room. Jade exits, closing the door behind her.

Despite everything Jessica has now experienced, she is wholly unprepared for the sight that greets her...
