vampire woman such thing in like medieval or older European times, maybe light stalking
I know exactly who sent thisâŚMiss Pauling vampire be upon ye!!!!!
It was late, far too late to be out wandering alone on these streets. There have been a long string of murders around your hometown, all horrific and resulting in the death of the victims, missing their blood. You had underestimated the workload today, spent too long in the shop to prepare for tomorrow. Now you were out in the oppressive dark, steps echoing on the empty streets.
A noise from the dingy alley pulled your attention from the cobblestone in front of you, leading you stray from the road and stand before it. Another noise, softer, a careful step coming from the end of the alley. You pull away just as a figure emerged from the shadows, a woman, spectacles sitting crooked on her nose. She was dressed in purple, a rare color due to its expense. The woman didnât seem dangerous, in fact the nervous look on her face made her seem timid and docile.
âAre you heading home late too?â, you manage to ask after getting over your mild surprise at seeing her. The woman pulled at her short but elegant skirt, dusting off grime that was not there before responding, âYes! Yes, I had to work late and am only just now leaving.â She seemed hurried to answer you, checking over her appearance too. It was a tad suspicious, but give her nervous nature you could brush it off as jitters. âWell, if we are heading the same direction we should walk together, you never know what danger is around, especially now.â You lead her back to the main road, her shoes tapping almost obnoxiously loud on the stone as she rushed to keep up with you. She seemed to work for a high status company, or at least had family in power, you were sure she wasnât nobility herself though, her demeanor was not of someone of high society. She lacked the confidence, seemed to be more of a common worker, like you. âWhat can I call you, if I may ask?â The woman seemed caught off guard by your question, offering a tight lipped smile, âJust call me Miss. Pauling.â You repeated the name to yourself to test it out, sweet and gentle, it fit the woman nicely. You gave her your name in return, giving a relaxed tilt of the lips. Having someone else walking with you was nice, it felt much safer than being alone with all the murders happening.
She took the lead while you were deep in thought, leading you right back to your small home and for a second you couldâve sworn you never gave the woman any indicator of where you lived. A glance she gave from over her shoulder took any doubt you had, her eyes seemed much more sure now. You werenât about to be impolite, the night was still early and dangers lurked for women alone. âWould you like to stay for the night? Itâs dangerous to go out walking again alone.â
Miss Pauling nodded, spectacles shifting forward on her nose and strands of black hair falling from the bun on the back of her head as she does so. âYouâre kind, if you really donât mind. I donât want to go out again, I live further than you.â She steps closer as you open the door, letting her in first. You quickly move to get the furnace on, the fire warming the small house within just a few minutes. âI donât have a spare room, Iâm sorry, but you can sleep in the main room for tonight. Iâd never let a guest sleep on the floor.â Miss Pauling turns to look back at you, a frown settled on her soft features. âOh please, I cannot take your bed, youâre my host! Maybe we canâŚreach a compromise? I am fine sharing the bed as long as you are and your bed is large enough.â Her words, while unexpected, werenât unwanted, even if you were unsure of how she knew the size of your mattress. Your floor was cold and you hadnât swept in far too long, to sleep in your own bed, even with someone else, would be nice.
âAlright then, do you need a nightgown? I should have an extra somewhere in my dresser.â You led her to the small bedroom, leaning over to dig through the dresser pressed against the far wall. Miss Pauling sits down on the bed, watching you rummage for a good minute before you finally pulled out a soft white nightgown. You hand her the gown with a smile, in a way it was nice, you didnât have anyone in your home often. She returned your smile, without teeth however, before wandering to the hall in order to undress in privacy. With the woman out of the room you take the chance to do the same, slipping out of your work clothes. You brought your underskirt up to your nose, it would need a wash soon as the shop you worked at could get rather messy at times. You slipped your own nightgown over your body just as Miss Pauling returned. She looked beautiful, how someone supposedly straight from work could look so good youâre not sure, but you werenât complaining. The only light in the house was the oil lamp on your bedside table, as the woman moved to lay down in your bed you extinguished the flame and slid down to get comfortable.
It took longer than usual due to the presence of another person but eventually your exhaustion won and pulled you into unconsciousness. You were left vulnerable, exposed. Eventually, once Miss Pauling was sure you wouldnât awaken soon, she leaned over you. She took one wrist in her hand, gently moving her head down to slowly sink her sharp teeth into your flesh. The pain was dull, but still present, enough to make you shift slightly but not rouse. The dark haired woman continued to feed steadily, a single drop managing to escape her lips and stain the collar of the borrowed nightgown.
For a moment she considered moving up to the junction of your neck, butâŚShe didnât want to kill yet. Sheâd been watching you since that morning, originally to suck dry just like other victims, but something changed when you noticed her that night. Miss Pauling couldnât bring herself to do it. Your soft groan pulled her from her thoughts, sheâd taken more than she planned. She retreats, rolling back to her side of the bed with one last lick of her sharp teeth and a dull throbbing between her legs. She wouldâve thought it was her heart racing had she a heart
