Stalked by the Vampire

Stephan

She senses me, and that intrigues me. No prey has ever sensed me until I made myself known. But Elena is more than prey to me. I'm enchanted by her. From the moment I look into her innocent eyes, she consumes my every thought, so much so that I spend every moment following her, watching her, obsessing over her.

I'm a creature who takes what he wants, but when it comes to Elena, it's complicated. I want more than just to drink her blood. I want to possess her--every part of her. But I'm a vampire, and she's a mortal.

Our story is doomed before it ever even begins.

That still doesn't stop me from stalking her--nor does it stop me from manipulating circumstances to get her closer to me.

Elena

I think I'm going crazy. I'm paranoid and jumpy. I feel like I'm being watched, but there's never anyone there. Maybe I'm just overworked and sleep-deprived. Maybe I should slow down, but how can I when I have to make ends meet on top of trying to save up for a better life?

I'll do what I have to do. Growing up parentless, I've always scraped by. I'm strong, and I know I'm the only person I can depend on.

But then I lose my job, and my world comes crashing down around me.

That is, until I'm mysteriously offered a dream job at the most successful company in the city.

It's going to be life-changing--in ways I never could have imagined.
