The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Hidden fear crept up her spine as Ashley Carter crept soundlessly into her kitchen trusty mini mag lite in hand , her foot brushed against the leg of a chair and she nearly jumped out of her skin laying the light on the spot that had dared touch her flesh . A heavy sigh of relief slipped out right before she was forced to let out a blood curdling scream , the flooding of light filled her eyes so bright she couldn’t see the figure standing in the door frame of the kitchen but she could feel his hand clasping over her mouth to quiet her screams of terror. “For god sakes Ash this is getting bloody ridiculous “ She blinked tilting her head back and looking up as the hand went slack on her and slowly slid down to her shoulder. “Keith?” She said the name like a question, like she was unsure of what her vision was actually showing her… His reply to her came out less then pleasant and dripping with the tone of a cynic. “No the boogie man… “He paused for effect frowning down at her as he let his hand slip to his side. “Yes Keith your fucking room mate of six months, get a grip” She rubbed her eyes setting her flashlight down breathing in deep to calm her heart and simply walked to the fridge with out a word and pulled out the orange juice twisting the lid off and started drinking it straight from the jug.

For a petite thing this was quite strange to watch, when Keith had first heard from his friend that the room he was giving up to him was for a tiny foxy as she was described room mate he was ecstatic that was at least until he had met her. Alright to be honest even then he was happy, he had been introduced to a five nothing chestnut brunette with copper colored eyes and what had been described as the face of an angel and the body of well … If lust was a woman that’s how he would describe her that thought always amused him. In truth she was more like a man then her appearance let on , sure her chestnut locks had auburn highlights , and she wore skirts with heels , she was defiantly not flat by any means her breast were defiantly there with out looking extravagantly large , her hair was in no way short and cut like a boys , in fact if fell about two inches above her rounded ass, but alas her mannerisms and attitudes were like no girl he had met. So he watched on in half horror but no surprise as she drank the orange juice and let some of it slide down her chin wiping it off with one of her long flannel shirt sleeves of her button up pj top, thinking back on the day they had first met when he had been invited over to the apartment at the time his friend Tom and Her place. She had come flying out of her room to meet him in a pair of hip hugging low slung jeans the curved tightly over her thighs and belled out at the knees standing a foot under him at his six feet with out her shoes on little feet barely peeking out of jeans that seemed just a touch to long for her small body, a black peasant top with a matching black corset had been thrown over top it and left her breast to be pushed up and happy to greet anyone. He was lost on why Tom didn’t stare, had living with a woman for this long left him jaded? Honestly one that looked this good it made absolutely no sense to him. They shook hands and she bowed telling Tom she approved like a dad telling his daughter she could go out with a guy and Tom simply laughed as if Keith had no clue what he was getting into. Sure though even then she had been at least a bit more normal he thought, so Tom hadn’t screwed him completely with but she did have a lot of boyish qualities. Hell on a good day she could drink his male friends under the table and it was left to the two of them awake stuck in a drunken stupor until he passed out, he always passed out first. “Ash its two am , you live with a six foot tall male and we have three deadbolts and one main lock for the doors as well as an alarm , Give it a rest already will ya” She blinked as if finally acknowledging his presence as she placed the now half empty container of orange juice back in the fridge. “ I can’t help it I just had a feeling someone was here who shouldn’t have been…” Cryptic as always he thought bitterly. ********************************************

“Mwhat ?” Her mouth was half full a cookie peaking out from redden lips , they looked cracked and bloody under the cookie. She realized he had been staring at her for quite a while , she knew she had been driving him nuts lately jumping at every little noise in the apartment but she hadn’t realized how bad she was getting until tonight been she had let out such a loud scream.. She watched as he shook his head rich brown strands of hair falling into his sea green colored eyes. Nope Keith was just going to have to live with it for now she wasn’t going to go woozy over his eyes like every other girl and believe the world would be a better place just because he said it was so. Girls loved hearing that shit but wouldn’t you know their problems were never as unfixable as hers so at least they could trust in it. It didn’t hurt especially when it was coming from someone who could be referred to as tall dark and handsome the stereotypical shinning white knight of modern times. Biting down on the rest of her cookie and brushed past him turning to make a show of a hat tip to him even though her hands and top of her head were empty , a slight wink and she slipped back towards her room nabbing the flash light off the counter at the last minute. Before her door slid shut she could hear his footsteps walking towards his side of the apartment and vague mutterings of honesty’s and what the hells slipping out of him. She slid her lock into place waiting for the near silent click as it found its way home. Their just weren’t enough locks in the house to keep the dreams away though , and they were quickly becoming more and more vivid and realistic to the extent that she wasn’t sure if she was asleep at night when they happened anymore.
