Jessica sneaks out

Jessica is distraught. She wants fresh blood more than anything. She loathes herself for constant cravings. Part of her wishes that she had drained Olivia dry, while the other part is repulsed by her violent urges.

I need to get out of here. I need some fresh air. I need to think.

Jessica quietly slips out of her room. Down the hall, she hears Olivia and Mary loudly discussing some sort of financial arrangement. She pads down the hallway, thankful for her cat like silence. Jessica goes to the elevator, descends, and is in the garage. This is the first time I've left the apartment in weeks she thinks.

Jessica hits the streets, barefoot and still in her pajamas. It isn't that late and the streets are still relatively full of pedestrians. Jessica inhales deeply, smelling the humans. I'm so hungry she thinks. She walks around, fantasizing about drinking from those she passes.

I am only out here to get some fresh air, not to hunt, she tells herself. With every human she passes, she smells, it is becoming harder and harder to refrain. A small bite can't hurt she thinks to herself. Mary will never know.

Jessica passes a young woman with long auburn hair, and beautiful brown eyes. She is youthful and slender. Jessica wants her. Jessica turns to follow her. The redhead looks back, concerned. Jessica follows more rapidly. Jessica can hear the girl's heartbeat quickening, her breathing becoming more shallow. The girl picks up her pace, fishing for her cellphone in her bag. Jessica, silently, closes the gap.

"Don't scream, follow me" she commands the girl, taking her hand. Jessica leads her into a dark alley in between buildings. Jessica wraps her fingers around the girl's hair, yanking her head back to expose her throat. Jessica's other hand grips the girl's shoulder, hooked under her armpit. Jessica is panting, she can't hold back any longer. She strikes, sinking her fangs into the girl's throat.

Warm, fresh, blood pulses over into her mouth. She almost orgasms when the blood hits her tongue. The girl struggles slightly in Jessica's arms, but is enthralled not to scream. Why did I deny myself? Jessica thinks as she rapidly gulps the girl's blood, this feels so right.

The girl is weakening in Jessica's arms. She has gone slack and her blood pressure is dropping. "Stop!" a voice screams in Jessica's mind, but she doesn't. She can't. She keeps drinking, powerless to fight the urges. The girl falls to her knees, passed out, and Jessica falls with her, continuing to feed.

Jessica senses a presence behind her. She stops feeding and looks back.
