Vampire's Babe

by Karensa Minett

  “Fantastic so you are cursed.”he laughed,the small boy in front of Ruth took calculative steps,trying to take in the fugitive who was holding her.

  “Yes.”she wailed.

  “Such a cute barger he is.”he added while the small boy kept moving in his direction. “You know what that thing is,he ruined my entire family.”she cried.

  “You were not suppose to have a family,you were not suppose to be born again as a witch,you betrayed someone who loved you and so he has sent a gift,impressive.”

  “He will kill me.”

  “No he won’t.”

  The small boy was already in the air,ready to attack Ruth when one word just froze him, “Freezeymoya.” “What did you do to him.”she asked astonished and relieved. “You want me to destroy this thing?.”

  “Can you?.”

  “You want me to.”

  “Yes please.”

  “Ignara..”blue butterflies flew from his palm and they stuck over the skin of the small boy who was in the middle of the space,they turned into blue flames burning him slowly, “Do you want to hear him scream?.”

  “No.”

  “Why not,he had his fun troubling you didn’t he?.”

  “I cannot stoop to such low levels.That’s not me.”

  Both of them watched him die,it was his eyes,the last of his body part to die,they still watched Ruth,not hungry or angry but at peace. “Where are you going?.”demanded the boy who was wearing the mask.

  “Home.”answered Ruth gingerly.

  “When I help people,they pay me,you need to pay.”

  “I don’t have money..”

  “I don’t want money from a beautiful chick like you.”he smiled lifting his mask a little up so that his pure red lips were visible,there was a dark edge to his grin,something which I could feel just like Ruth, “one kiss and we are even.”

  “I...”she tried to avoid his penetrating eyes, “its all right,I know you haven’t kissed anyone.”

  “I can give you money...”

  “I don’t want money,I want a kiss.”he demanded firmly,crossing his hands over his chest.Ruth was taking long and I knew what she was thinking,to run of course, “Don’t even think about it,well you can have him back then,its easy for me to bring him back to life..”

  “No don’t I beg you...please...please don’t..”

  “A kiss.”he repeated.

  “Just one and then I am free to go?.”she asked,her eyes still wild and imploring.

  “Yes,just one kiss for now and you are free to leave from here.”

  She was perplexed, “come on, you are starving me..”impatience clearly reflected in his tone,she moved a little quickly towards him,dragging the last four steps, “What’s your name?.”

  “Ruth.”

  “Here Ruth wipe your tears.”she took the handkerchief in her hand and dabbed her wet cheeks.

  “Come close.”he instructed and she took a step closer, “more close”,she followed without looking at him, “loosen yourself,its your first kiss,you should be happy.” “Just do it.”she snapped.He pulled her close to his body,pressing her delicate curves for long,I could see the way she trembled,her legs did move,she was getting twisted,the core of her stomach was screaming,it was such an unusual feeling,her first kiss being delivered to a stranger,same stranger who solved her age old problem,she avoided his eyes,while he brushed his lips over hers,her eyes were tight shut,waiting for this to get over,“if you don’t open your eyes,I swear it, he will follow you again.”

  “No.”she shrieked,her eyes flew wide open, “good girl.”he laughed,pressing his chest over her,his hands were still glued to her curves,rubbing and pressing now and then,his hypnotic eyes were not allowing her any room,she had to look in them,her hands were calm and so was her body,her heartbeat was racing at wild pace,the tiny voice inside her head was repeating now and then, “who is this stranger and why me?.”

  His hands slipped all the way to her spine to the back of her neck,pulling a little lower to build the tension,her legs were ready to pop and break,I could easily see how hard she tried to stand straight with him pulling her more close to his torso.His lips were all over her and she just allowed them,it was a very long kiss,her legs were not wobbly anymore,in fact she moved with him.When he pulled himself she was bleeding around the edge of her lower lip, “Go now.”he said pushing her away.

  I could still see the wildness in his eyes, Ruth stood at a distance,looking at the strange boy. “Wondering if we will meet again?.”he chuckled.

  “No,I don’t want to meet you again.”

  “But I want to.”he said seriously, removing his mask,we all hated it except the boys,Roy and Rocky were happy,like seeing a live movie star.

  “My name is Ronaldo Sweeptuck,it was nice tasting you Ruth.”

  She avoided his stretched hand,running home and turning now and then to look at the boy who she had just kissed.

  “Why is the ground shaking?.”I asked horrified. “Why are those words big and why are they coming at us.”

  “Its the word tunnel taking us to the new chapter of Ruth’s Diary.”

  Ruth’s Diary Chapter Two.

  “Can you just stop following me.”I could see Ruth and Ronaldo,they were inside the library.We stood there hearing most of their commotion,naturally they did not notice as we were not present at that time,we could just see the entire memory,like a live picture. “come on Ruth,why do you hate me so much,look,I won’t hurt you this time,I’ll be very careful,what is it that you keep running away from?.”he demanded holding her by her waist in the far abandoned dark corner of the school library. “I said thank you for your help and now let me go,please.”

  “Girls of your age want a guy like me,rich and powerful,top it up handsome too.”his eyes were fixed on her face,she avoided him,trying hard to push him away without creating a scene. “Please Ronaldo,I have responsibilities,I have a small sister to take care of,just let me go,I am no match...”

  “You are such a naive girl,but I just can’t help it,I’m so addicted to you,come on Ruth,give me just one chance and I promise you will never ever regret it.”his breath flew gently over her scared face,it was impossible to avoid him now,the dark intensity in his eyes were far demanding than she had expected,she knew he would never take a no for an answer,he could easily sense her trauma,well that is what I thought,caught between responsibilities and the guy who she secretly admired. “Let me go Ronaldo,I have a class to attend.”she tried hard to push him but he did not budge,the wicked grin which she feared the most was back ,making her breathing hard and brains extra alert.He turned her over pressing her mercilessly in the opposite wall, “let me go....”her voice was not audible to anyone around,it is then I understood they were standing under a vacuum, “Ruth Simon Digzon,do you agree to take me as your beloved fiancee?.”he whispered in her ears,I could hear her heart willing to tear her chest cavity and fall out. “I want that yes.”he hissed, “come on Ruth,I’m starving.”

  There was no way she was able to push him,no matter how hard she tried,she was pushed back to the wall. “Give me some time.....”she begged,trying hard to control her deceiving emotions,he stopped,turning her over and lifting her chin with his hand, “sure sweetheart,I give you time,tomorrow you will wear the ring,its a beautiful diamond one,I know you love diamonds.”

  “Ronaldo....”

  “Shhh...its alright,I know you are scared to death,you don’t know me,but its alright,very soon you will know me and yourself,its a promise,so be ready tomorrow,sharp at ten, I will be there to pick you up and see that your beloved sister is sleeping,I hate to hear her voice.”

  Ruth was completely terrified and she slipped down on the floor,trying hard to stop her tears,Ronaldo walked away briskly,he was just coming our way,I wanted to run but Sipper held me tight,he passed right in between us, “he cannot see us..”she reminded me hiding her mischievous grin.

  “Right.”barked Jill looking at top,I did the same, “Shit.”it was another word tunnel,sucking us
in and throwing us down, in my home this time.I saw Ruth coming out of my room,she was terrified,her steps were so slow,like she aged over this one day,she sat heavily on the sofa,holding her head in her hands,willing to cry again.

  “Ah,you miss me so much.”he laughed,she was shocked,the door was not open and neither was any window, “Oh how did I get in?.”he smiled

  she was baffled,slipping away from him on the sofa. “through the mirror honey,here a dress,beautiful roses and some white chocolates,your favorite.Get ready,we have a long night.”

  “Ronaldo...”

  “Get ready.”he hissed.

  She took all the stuffs that he just gifted her and walked slowly up the stairs, “I should have got some instant health boosters too,you are so lethargic,pick up the speed Ruth,I don’t like my time being wasted.”

  She rushed inside her room,banging the door hard.He laughed,there was no stopping,he laughed till he fell down the sofa.

  “Is he mad?.”I asked, “No he is a maniac.”answered Jill, crossing her hand over her chest.Ronaldo was still holding his chest,lying on the rug below the sofa,his eyes were wide open,Ruth did descend,everything about her was appealing,her long lustrous hair that still bounced around her waist,those fine curves which would drive any male bonkers and lastly but not the least,the charming picture of her cleavage,any guy would want her,she was so beautiful,till date she was but something within her did change,he sat straight,admiring her fresh beauty and innocent eyes.

  “You look beautiful.”he smiled,for the first time I saw him so calm and serene,was it really true what the guys spoke about her and Troy pointed too,did she really drive him insane?,was she the real culprit?.

  “Don’t stand there Ruth come and sit.”he said patting the sofa where he was exactly perched below it, “Ronaldo, I want you, I do, I don’t know why but I’m also scared of you,please don’t play with me,I’m an ordinary girl with no parents or family,I have just one sister,please...”

  “Ruth,I want you,I do,I definitely know why but I’m also tired of waiting for you,please don’t play with me,I’m no ordinary boy,never had any parents or family,I have just one you,please...”he hissed pulling her down on the sofa,his lips were just few inches away from her,she was scared to death,it was so obvious,she loved him and feared him too,he was ferocious and so unpredictable,it was like falling in love with a lion and being imprisoned by the question of will he eat me or not? for your entire life.

  I couldn’t help it but notice,his first kiss was always on her forehead and the second one would come down her throat to the beautiful hollow,where he enjoyed sucking the stagnant tear droplet,the third kiss was the most wanted and yet delayed,he would take his time,brushing his lips slowly over hers,making her soft and vulnerable,twisting the core of her stomach,allowing that space where she would willing beg for it,she was in fact but not in a way that he wanted to,she just wanted it to get over,as fast as possible,he played long,sensing her fear and anxiety,her breathing did hardened,she tried to act as a unmovable doll but he did not allow her,he managed fairly well to arouse those dead feelings in her,it was so clean and visible,the way his hands touched her stomach,making her skip a beat now and then,finally when he saw,she could no longer hold it,his lips pressed against her,for a very long time,Troy did kiss me but it was nothing compared to this,I wasn’t getting bugged,could easily see Ruth enjoying it a bit and being scared of it too,but she was slowly slipping into his charming approach,who never wants a charming and an untamed lover,he was good,I had to agree with the boys,he was definitely the mad lover!.

  He slipped the ring in her finger and she waited to calm her breathing,it did accelerate again when she saw the diamond sticking out of her ring finger. Before she could speak Ronaldo was again over her,making her breathe hard,he did not know how to stop,Ruth could barely keep up with his energy.

  “Stop..”she begged and he did, “you are so delicate and frail.”she did not understand it,was it a compliment or a subjective comment.

  He sat there talking to her,trying now and then to look into her eyes,he was talking about his life as a lunati,but he never mentioned Miyana or that he was a king,it was three in the morning and we were completely exhausted,Sipper and Rocky were snoring hard,Jill yawned but Roy,his ears were wide open,he never blinked,he reminded me of a small child who was glued to his television set and his favorite cartoon show was coming.

  “Could you excuse me for a minute.”

  “Of course.”he said releasing her from his grip,she was so stiff that she was about to fall when he caught her in time, “next time I will give you frequent breaks.”he laughed allowing her to go finally.

  It was long,he waited,I could see how impatient he was becoming minute by minute,what was in her that he was so crazy about, “Hurry up Miyana you are taking long.”he barked.She did not answer,more five minutes gone,finally he stood up annoyed,banging the door of her rest room,Roy hit Jill hard,and I knew why,there were voices coming out of the bathroom door,filmsy smoke too escaped from it,he broke the door,seeing Ruth standing in front of him,her eyes purple in color,she had a blade in her hand,one,two,three,she cut her right wrist and fell straight in his arms.

  “Why the hell did she do it?.”I panicked and Jill held me back,I could see his red face,Ronaldo was tearing down,his screech split the sensitive curtains of our ears.

  “What the hell is going on?.” I tried,to balance myself but it was too late,I saw those big letters under my feet,lifting me up again,it was so obvious, we had reached the end of Ruth’s Diary Chapter Two.

  Ruth’s Diary- Miyana.

  “Where the hell am I and why am I bleeding?.”she whispered trying to sit straight,her eyes were wide awake,there was blood around her left breast,it did sting, “sleep Miyana,I am not done yet.”said Ronaldo walking close to her,he did not touch her and she was lying again,it looked like somebody just pushed her back on the bed,forcefully.

  “Ronaldo what are you...”Ruth was speechless and so were we,her soft eyes were fixed on the pointed fangs that were growing slowly in front of her eyes.The only candle in the dark room was on the ground,giving us glimpses of them,she did scream number of times and I could see why,Ronaldo was biting her!.

  Her screaming did stop,it looked as though an age had just passed in front of our eyes,Ronaldo walked around the room,lighting the candles one by one,the moonlit night was helping my vision,I saw her,she was clutching the pillow tightly to her chest,there were blood stains around her,the once beautiful dress was torn in half,he kissed slowly her open back,following again her beautiful spine.

  “Did you enjoy Ruth?.”he asked and laughed, “oh I am not a vampire but his father,he is born from me,vampire’s are born from lunati’s,from their dead bodies I must say.”he laughed,brushing her right curve,his hands stopped,he kissed the deep lining of her luscious flesh, “you smell so good.I just can’t believe it,I turned you into a lunati without killing you,I love myself and I’ll make sure you love me.”he hissed,pulling her inside,so that she could face him.She was scared and terrified to her core,his hands however tried to hold her legs,calming them down, “easy there Ruth,I won’t touch you without your consent.I’ll never do that,trust me.”

  “Bullshit.”I hated that tunnel,it just came on its own, “what did he do to her?.”I asked Jill,getting back on my feet, “turned her into a lunati.”she answered.

  “I know that.”I thundered.

  Roy interfered “Ruth’s diary is not in one piece,its burnt and scratched,there are words which are written in other language,I mean pseudo something,that’s what the witch at Bankashira told us,it can only be interpreted by her,mostly those are haunted memories,like she was immensely tortured by him,...”

  I had to cut in “what do you mean by tortured her?,didn’t he love her?.”

  “He loves her alright but not like the movie stars that you see,he has...he has many ill ways to get around her, when I mean ill it does not mean completely ill,its like,its like,loving a dead who wants you dead so they c
an have an eternal bonding..are you getting what I am trying to say...”he was baffled,my expressions I guess did trigger confusion in him.

  Jill spoke boldly, “Aagi,he is no human,he suffered immense amount of pain because of her in the earlier life,it did blow his senses,all that he did was to make her one thing clear that she only belonged to him now and forever.Most of his methods were not healthy,he killed few to make her realize that, like..”she did hesitate, “like your parents,aunt and the only friend Ruth had.”Jill pointed to a boy who was standing only few blocks away,he had a red rose in his hand,Ruth was walking from school,it was not hard to guess,she was wearing her school uniform and black jacket,it was snowing,I could see the cold breath that blew out of her chest,the way she tried to wrap her hands around herself ,trying hard to keep warm.

  “Hey Ruth...”he called and she turned back,a faint smile masked her lips, “hey there Sam,where are you going with that flower?.”

  “I need serious shit of advice,you saw her,didn’t you?.”he asked super excited.

  “Who?.”

  “Melanie,jeez,in historia class,she winked at me and look she even text me a rose,glittering one,look at the words below it,oh forget it,I’ll read, My lips are waiting for you.”

  “Great.She is so fast,so you want me to drop you at Melanie’s home?.”

  “No idiot,we are going to meet in the park.”

  “What you want me to do Sam?.”she rolled her eyes,walking again on the pavement.

  “I want you to suggest me ways in which I can propose her,be still,how about I go on knees and give....”

  “Sam what’s wrong?.”Ruth was terrified,his eyes were bleeding all of a sudden,the rose in his hands burned,she was about to scream when a hand closed her mouth,Sam was on the ground,his body started degrading,turning slowly into bones,Ruth could not see it,she fainted.
