Dark obsession, with her

“Sarah, your transfer is ready.”

A huge folder full of papers fell on Sarah's desk, taking her out of her thoughts, the idea of ​​leaving her comfort zone made her shudder, even though she had no one in that huge city where she worked, the idea of ​​going to work it gave Darkville the creeps.

"And if I say I don't want to accept it, what will happen?" Sarah reproaches her boss immediately.

"At the moment you signed your contract, you said you were willing to travel, also, you have two options, lose your job, or go there, there is a possibility for a person with your profile, not here."

Her boss's voice was sharp and cold, the company where she worked as an assistant was going through an imminent bankruptcy, the managers were trying to relocate the employees, she was lucky, because she was one of the few that still had a position.

But to her misfortune, she had had to go to the coldest and darkest place in the country, but it didn't matter.

Sarah, I pack her few belongings, and the next day I take a train there.

Darkville is a small town located in the mountains, surrounded by a thick forest and a cold and foggy climate. The city has a rich and dark history, filled with legends of vampires and supernatural creatures.

That was what terrified Sarah the most; that perhaps those legends were true, she did not imagine being devoured by a legion of vampires, and that her poor body lay cold and dry, in some unknown place, that death was not something she wanted for her.

Sarah is a twenty-five-year-old girl with a fair complexion and dark brown hair. She has large, expressive hazel eyes and a shy smile that is rarely shown. She is an intelligent and hard-working woman, with a reserved but curious personality.

What was left of his salary had been used to pay for the inn where he would spend his days while he was in Darkville, a large old house with several rooms available for rent to outsiders.

Maria was the landlady, she had left him a beautiful room on the recommendation of Sarah's boss, one with views of the dark mountain.

"Look girl, here you have the key to your room, you have the right to the kitchen, and to the communal bathroom, your shower time should not last more than ten minutes because you would run out of hot water for others, you must keep your food and all your things in your room, here I don't answer you for anything.”

“Thank you, I'll try to eat fast food, could you tell me where the big factory is? I must report to work tomorrow in this place.”

“In the big factory? What will you do in that place girl? Maria asked her somewhat confused; her eyes were full of terror.

“Well, I'll be an administrative assistant, Maria,” Sarah replied resignedly, “why are you asking me with that panicked face? Is there something wrong that I should know about?"

"No, just a recommendation, whatever you see, just keep quiet, some paranormal things are rumored in this city, which to tell the truth I don't know if they are true, but just be careful" When Sarah heard her landlady's words, she felt A deep chill ran through his body, but he preferred to think that everything that was rumored and said was nothing more than fantasy.

At nightfall, his room gave a view of the huge mountain, a beautiful mansion, dimly lit was seen at the top of it, it looked more like an old castle that had been modernly modified.

Her eyes stared at that dark place, she felt a magical feeling settle on her, she closed her eyes and through her mind the image of a beautiful man passed through her mind, but pale and with icy skin, his eyes were red, and his Machiavellian white smile.

She opened her eyes suddenly and, terrified, she drew the curtain of her window.

"This must be a joke" he repeated to himself several times, and although his first night was not the best, he got up early to do his duty, he had to work to eat and pay for his mother's nursing home, a woman who had gone crazy when Sarah she was just a child, leaving her alone to fend for herself and with one more burden.

It was very early, the cold of DarkVille penetrated his bones, and although it was already eight in the morning, the city was almost dark, now he understood why they called it that, and why its inhabitants were so pale, if the light was de sole was something he would not see again for a long time.

When he is in front of the large factory, he realizes that it is a very luxurious place, much more than his old workplace, a huge ash-colored building, which matched perfectly with the city, large, tinted windows and metal doors, when he crossed the first one, he automatically felt a terrible cold, it was something he had to get used to living with.

"Good morning, miss, how can I help you" A young woman at the reception received her, she was no different from the others, her face was pale and white, her dark suit was simply adorned with a red scarf around her neck.

“Hello, I am the new administrative assistant my name is Sarah Sterlings”

"Ah yes, we were waiting for you, please follow me, your functions will be the same as in your old job, you must catch up with things at the factory, but we are completely modernized, in your job you already have all the information you need” the receptionist explains to Sarah what she has to do while she takes her to her office, a beautiful workstation, a desk, a latest model laptop and enough to not lose her sanity in such a frivolous place.

Sarah had already been working in the big factory for a week, she had only met another girl who worked with her, Gloríe, who was becoming something like a friend.

“Sarah, are we going to eat?  I feel starving."

"Thank you Gloríe, if we go, please, this cold makes my stomach want to devour a whole elephant.”

"But what do you say woman! Come on, the elevator is about to arrive" They both wait for the elevator to stop on their floor, it came from the top of that skyscraper, it was rumored that no one went up to the last floors, because there was the great office of the superior chief, and for a strange reason reason, he never allowed anyone near him.

When the elevator stopped, the doors opened in front of her eyes, although Glorie had already experienced that scene, for Sarah it was completely new, a tall, blond man, with gray eyes, and red lips, with an appearance of about thirty years. , dressed in a fine dark suit and with an exquisite fragrance that filled the place, was in front of them.

Sarah was completely incredulous, she froze at the entrance of the elevator when she saw him, it was the same man who had appeared in her visions a few days ago, only dressed differently.

"Good morning, ladies." Alexander's thick voice greeted them.

"Good morning, sir Von Strudel "Gloríe responds to the greeting, while surprised she was watching how Sarah seemed spellbound.

"Sarah, are you okay? We must go, Sarah!" a scream from Gloríe took her out of her thoughts, she got on the elevator next to her friend; As soon as she passed Alexander's side, a feeling of panic invaded her being, she didn't understand why she felt that strange pressure.

They got to the first floor, and he just left, he seemed to have disappeared, while they continue with their plans to go to lunch.

"Who is that man?" Sarah asked Glorie.

“Like whom is that man? He is the great CEO of the factory, you were very impolite with him, fortunately, he rarely says words, I have been working here for a few years, and he has been just as perfect since I can remember him, many things are rumored about him, but you know how it is, small town, it's a big hell."

"What is rumored? Tell me Glory” Sarah was terrified at that moment, the thing she would least like to hear was that her boss was a vampire.

“They say that Alexander Von Strudel is a member of a very old and powerful vampire family that has settled in Darkville for centuries. and it is rumored that he has had many passionate encounters with humans over the centuries. His presence in the city has been instrumental in maintaining the balance between vampires and humans in Darkville. Although at this time, I've been living here for ten years, and I've never seen a single vampire” Gloríe shrugged her shoulders and made a resigned gesture.

"That is not true? “

"I don't think so, they must be just rumors dear, come let's eat, I'm starving."

Sarah was completely confused, she couldn't even eat calmly, Alexander's gaze had completely permeated her, he was a man wrapped in an almost extraterrestrial divinity, one could say hellish, that scared her in a way she couldn't explain, He was far from imagining who was this mysterious man who had appeared before his eyes before.
