7 - Culprit has been found

Agnes stood outside the building, preparing to enter. She let out a deep sigh, perhaps she was again entering that mysterious lion's den! The huge building was impressively decorated with glass work. She reminded herself that she was there for a murder, to hunt her prey and knock him down for what he'd done to her. Agnes settled her loose green dress, which came down to her knees, covering her thighs and hiding her beautiful figure in that looseness. She tied her hair into a ponytail, looking professional yet graceful.

Agnes took the steps towards the entrance with confidence and delicacy, with the files of her qualifications and other basic information tucked to her chest by her bare hand. She strode through the hall painted in white, reaching the reception. A pretty girl was on call managing the entries of people and providing them with the needed information. As the call ended, she wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked up as Agnes spoke.

"Excuse me. I'm here for an interview with the boss for the role of his secretary."

The girl looked into her eyes and stood still for some moments staring at Agnes. Then suddenly she held her hands and said, "Thank God you're here. The boss was going to fire me after 5 minutes on the next call if you were more late."

"What? But I'm on time."

Agnes looked at her watch.

"Just 2 minutes above! And he was going to fire you!"

Agnes looked surprised.

"Ah yeah. He's a bit strict about time."

The girl waved her hand in a manner like "it was a daily scolding".

"Oh, I see. I'll be careful."

Agnes let out a weak smile, but she did like that girl.

"So Miss. Agnes, right. You have to go through the elevator up to the 5th floor where the boss is waiting for you."

"Okay. Thanks"

And Agnes headed towards the elevator, pressing the button to the 5th floor.

But wait!

Something was wrong!

Her vampiric senses suddenly got heightened. That scent, that sweet scent, was attracting her towards the source. She inhaled that sweet human scent deep within her. She felt like it circulated in her blood, and she found herself getting addicted to it. Who's scent was that?

Vampires are best at controlling themselves and their thirst for blood, but now, at that moment, Agnes wanted that person all to herself. She was craving for their blood. She never wanted a human, never ever. But now that scent was overcoming her senses, and all she wanted was that person.

Inhaling the delicious scent, she tried to control herself. Luckily, she was wearing lenses to hide her eyes as they change color every minute. Otherwise, anyone in that elevator could've seen her red eyes, vampire eyes. But she was alone, as the elevator stopped and she stepped out.

Walking through the silent corridor, she could still sense that scent, and with every step, it was getting stronger and more delicious! She didn't want to hurt any innocent or kill them just to fulfill her craving. It was forbidden, and moreover, she was a princess. It wasn't her to do such a terrible deed.

Clenching her fists tightly and digging her nails into them, she knocked at the door when someone's heavy but tired voice struck her ears, and she stepped inside the cabin.
