Drifter #6

Suddenly the woman was standing over Nigel. A beautiful angel of death; clad in black silk and crinoline.

He opened his mouth but, as lightning quick as a snake strike, she placed a single, ice-cold, finger over his lips.

"Shhh" She whispered.

Fear gripped Nigel's body, paralysing him in her red eyed stare. Her dress gathered around his prone body as she bent over him. "Shh" she whispered again, consoling him.

"No?" Whimpered Nigel, as she opened her mouth as if to kiss. Her icy palm clamped down over his mouth, and he felt her lips against his neck.

    I'm glad it's still light right now! This is a scary one, Jeff!

    Thanks Neville. Sometimes it's very hard to get horror right. Or, in this case, abject terror as far as Nigel is concerned (And maybe Drew ;) )

    Well Drew, she is a Vampire. They're supposed to be terrifying! You won't find me doing any of that Rock-Star, sparkly in the daylight rubbish. I'm firmly of the Brian Lumley school of vampirism (other schools of vampirism are available) They are to be feared gosh-darn-it! :)

    And thanks. Much appreciated :D
