Feeder.

We laid Kia on the bar top && cleaned up, putting away our glasses && quickly scrubbing the blood from the floor. Nate’s cloths were blood soaked so we stripped him to his undies && left him posed nosferatu style behind the bar.Jake && CC arrived within a few minutes && after I sent Ashley to clean his face in the bathroom, he hoisted her up into his arms. I draped her jacket over her, && she looked like a girl passed out drunk being carried home, as she apparently had been many times. CC && Jake didn’t say anything, just quietly examined the scene. CC’s jaw clenched tight as he saw the girl in Ashley’s arm.

“Get on the fucking bus!” He barked at Ashley, who silently carried Kia across the street && into our impossibly massive tour bus. CC was my right hand man, he helped me call the shots && make decisions for us. Not necessarily because I liked him most, I actually liked Ashley most, but because he sold his soul right after mine. He’s been a vampire the longest after me, so he has earned some shot calling rights. Jake && Jinxx scurried around the pub making sure that aside from the body behind the bar, the place was immaculate. We made sure there was no sign anyone was here, no proof we never left.I watched them silently, rocking back on my heels as CC walked to me.

“ You should’ve killed her. You’ve just fucked us” He spoke through gritted teeth. “We don’t need the attention of a missing girl being seen with us.”

“ No one but her family will know she’s gone. As far as we know, she could be an orphan. We’ll just wait it out. Besides with us leaving town, no one in Hollywood will recognize her. We just have to keep her out of the press” I said rubbing my chin. I nodded to Jake && Jinxx && we all left the pub.

Ashley had laid Kia in his cot, he was cleaning her wounds when I went to him.“ You really did it this time, Ash. “ I half sighed, half chuckled as he shrugged.

“I promise I didn’t mean to.” He said his fingers dragging an alcohol pad across her neck “She smelt so good && I was so hungry. Everything went black, and then when I opened my eyes it was already done.” He looked from her to me with a grin “ She’s stunning though, huh Andy?” He asked.

I nodded, she was striking, with a perfect figure && a face to cry over. Her make-up was smeared all over her face && little blood drops were splattered over her chin, but she was still a beautiful mess. I sat in my bunk across from her && while Ashley continued to clean her I began to look thru her bag which I had taken when I grabbed her jacket.It was a huge leather duffel bag, with studs && fringe. Inside she had a make- up bag, a book, a pack of gum, as well as a few other things && a pair of ballet shoes, the kind with the wooden blocks in the tips, she also had a leopard leotard && black tights.

“She’s a dancer” I said, moving the shoe around it my hand, they were worn, with fabric pealing in a few places, the inside sole totally void of color. Tucked into one shoe was a flyer for The New York State Ballet, it was promoting a recital to happen in a week, Kia’s name was mentioned several times as a dancer && teacher for a kindergarten class.“A good one it looks like” I spoke again as I found a picture on the back. She was in a perfect ballerina pose, in the cloths I was holding; her now-wild red hair pulled into a perfect top bun as she smiled hugely for the camera.

I set the dance items aside && dug for her wallet, inside was a picture of her, with her dad && mom as well as her older brother && younger sister; all pilled in front a Christmas tree. Her ID told me she was a 17 year old organ donor, named Kia LeAnn Pearson.She lived in Coney Island, a few boroughs away from where we picked her up. She wore contacts && weighed 101 pounds. I tucked her stuff back into the bag && approached her, feeling at her sides for a phone, there wasn’t one in her pockets, so I reached into her brato find it was tucked into her cleavage. I threw it onto the floor, smashed it && kicked the pieces under the bunk. Ashley was done cleaning her, I motioned for him to move aside && went to my suitcase where I pulled out two of my leather belts, With one I bound her hands to her side, pulling the belt tight enough to make the skin around the leather turn white.

“ You don’t have to do that, She isn’t som- “ Ashley started to protest.

“ She is, Ash. She is our feeder. Our slave. She has to be taught her place && in a few hours she’s going to wake up scared && confused. I need her immobilized when that happens.” As I spoke I bound her ankles together, tucking the loose end around itself so it was snug around her feet. Ashley just watched as I pushed her legs up, pulling the blanket free && tucked her in. “ Stay with her. When She wakes up keep her quiet.” Ashley rolled his eyes as he nodded. “I mean it Ashley, If she gets out of control or makes trouble for us, I will kill her.” I said, walking away from the bunks && into the living room where the others waited for me.

Jinxx sat with Jake, they were looking through a magazine we were featured in. CC was spinning in the recliner, his head dropped back against the cushion. “Ash is going to watch her till she wakes up, then Ill bring her in here && tell her what’s up.” Jake && Jinxx didn’t acknowledge me at all, but CC lifted his head to me, an amused smirk on his face.

“&& how do you think that’ll go?” He mused “You think she’ll listen quietly && just accept her unfortunate fate?You think she’ll nod politely && walk around the room letting us all feed?” His voice was mokingingly calm, his eyes twinkling with anger && amusement. I sat with my head in my hands, this situation && the thirst in my throat making me angry.

“I don’t know what her reaction will be” I said my teeth gritted.” We’ll see what happens && handle it accordingly.” I fumed. “Fuck! I didn’t plan to do this today, alright? But it happened && she’s here && there’s no going back now” I looked at my band members, the always go with the flow Jinxx && Jake, didn’t say a word, didn’t even seem to care that we had a serious situation on our hands. CC was angry, but he knew his place && his limits, he knew not to challenge me too much. Minutes started to pass & eventually we had been driving for 6 hours, Kia still passed out in the back.

I chain smoked, trying to think this through, how we would share her, how we would conceal her from the press.I imagined her fighting me, struggling as I tried to feed. CC && Jake held her arms down as I pressed my weight onto her && bit hard into her neck. I tried to think positive && thought of her in my bed lovingly seated on my lap, wearing one of my t-shirts as I fed from her wrist. Both images made me shiver. Both images filled me with lust.

I got up to take a cold shower, I needed to be composed when she finally did wake up. I was rinsing me hair when I heard the first shriek. I hurried as the screaming continued. I could hear Ashley trying to calm her, He told her to be quiet, that I’ll hear her && she’ll regret being loud. Her muffled screams told me he was holding her mouth closed. I got out of the shower && wrapped a towel around my waist && headed up towards her. As I approached, Ashley stepped away taking his hand off her mouth, she screamed with all her might, tears running down her face as she strained to free her bound limbs. I stood over her && she looked up at me.

“ Please let me go! I wont tell anyone, Nate wont tell”She sobbed “ I just want to go home, please” She was absolutely hysterical as I reached down && picked her up by one arm, moving her like a rag doll into my arms. I carried her into the living room as she sobbed && kicked her bound together feet. I dropped her on the flood with a thud, she fell onto her side, hunched into an almost fetal position as she continued begging to be let go. “ I’ve gotta go home, please, I want to go home! Just let me go! Please! Please!” She rambled. I kneeled down in front of her, she huffed && sobbed as she looked into my ice colored eyes.

“ I need you to be quit. Now.” I spoke, she turned her head to the floor && sobbed into the carpet, her whole body shaking. “ Nate is dead. You’re 7 hours from home && you’re not going anywhere.” She sobbed harder, Looking up at me as she struggled to breath thru her hysterics.

“ Stop crying” I ordered. She didn’t. “Stop crying” I spoke again, My teeth gritted. She didn’t. I lifted her torso off the ground && slapped her across her left cheek, she immediately shut u, biting her lip as silent tears streamed down her face. “Good girl.” I dropped her again “Now listen, do you believe in vampires?” I asked, a grin on my face.
