Chapter 12: The Bite

“What do you want?” she glowered at him.

Both her voice and body trembled, as she was straining every part of her nerves to move, uselessly.

His smile stopped, and for a while, there was no answer.

“You are so ignorant, and willful,” he remarked quietly.

“What is that supposed to mean?! You’re just another bloodthirsty parasite, aren’t you?” she rambled on, trying to hide the fear inside. “That’s why you’re here. You want my blood. You bloodsuc—,”

Suddenly he stood right in front of her, having crossed the distance between them in a blink of an eye. She tried to attack him, forgetting she couldn’t move.

“So impudent. I don’t like mouthy females,” he spat out. “Or males, for that matter.”

‘What the hell? He insulted her first.’

His height towered over her, standing too close. She couldn’t and didn’t need to look up to know if he was angry. He was. And that made her even angrier than him. Who was he to invade her home and treat her this way? She didn’t care why he was here anymore.
