Offered to a Vampire

Episode 1

In the heart of a dense forest filled with towering, ancient trees, there stands a slightly gloomy and imposing mansion. It is a place the residents of the nearby town avoid at all costs, perhaps because it seems abandoned and haunted, or simply because they know the mansion is frightening, as is its inhabitant and owner. Alucard, who appears to be a young man, extremely attractive but distinct from others, values his solitude and peace above all. At this moment, he's not feeling particularly hospitable.

"Damnation!!!" Alucard mutters under his breath upon hearing an odd noise emanating from the vicinity of his stately home. Stroking his hair in annoyance, he exits the bath, irritated that his serenity has been disturbed. "Who dares interrupt my awakening?"

Occasionally, he grows weary of humans and opts for a few years of rest without any contact. Now, just hours after coming out of a decade of absolute silence, his tranquility is disrupted, arousing his curiosity. In his three hundred years of life, no one had dared to venture into his domain, and yet the roaring sound of a speeding car now disrupts the entire place.

Nicole is driving her vehicle at high speed between trees, her face showing amusement as her passenger friend, Susana, becomes increasingly uncomfortable. They have just left a big party, and Susana does not handle her alcohol well, much to Nicole's delight.

Susana is a simple girl, somewhat naïve, accustomed to believing in people's kindness and attempting to live her life peacefully and joyfully like thousands of youngsters around the world. Still living with her parents, she has a job, an enviable boyfriend, and of course, friends... as one would expect.

Nicole, one of Susana's regular acquaintances, is quite different; she's narcissistic, prideful, and often does not hesitate to do what it takes to get what she wants.

"Nicole... I think I can't take it..." Susana's head is spinning, her stomach churning. Without a doubt, if the bumpy road continues, its contents would soon spill out unannounced. "Why didn't we take the usual road?"

"This shortcut will get us home faster." Nicole grins mischievously, plunging deeper into the dark and foreboding forest. "I think you drank too much."

"Why did you... always insist... on me drinking!" Susana articulates slowly, feeling another spasm in her belly. "Maybe it'd be best to stop the car just for a few seconds."

"You're right!!!" Nicole abruptly stops, and with a wry smile, she steps out of the car towards Susana. "Getting some fresh air is best." She pulls her out of the vehicle, pushing her forcefully into the depth of the forest. "You really do look unwell..." Watching her party partner, she simply states with a sinister smile, "Stay here!!! I'll go get help."

"What?" Susana immediately loses her balance but feels relief from the stomach spasms. Embracing the calm of her body and the cool breeze, she finally allows herself to relax, oblivious to Nicole's words. She simply closes her eyes, enjoying the easing of her stomach and body. "I... really... shouldn't have drunk so much..." She lies there, her body and mind at ease.

Unaware, Susana has been left behind by Nicole in a cold and dark place.

Alucard notices a car driving away at high speed, leaping from among the trees, he closely observes the abandoned figure. The girl is young with a lovely face and long golden hair. Kneeling beside her, he admires her slim body, her long and graceful legs. Drawing a deep breath, he senses she's alive with a delightful scent. Immediately, his fangs tingle, and a robust thirst awakens. Perhaps the humans had left him a welcoming gift, an offering of thanks. After all, he had been benevolent to them, taking no human lives during his feedings in the years leading up to his rest. Caressing her soft face, he notices the moan of pleasure that escapes from her luscious lips and, at that moment, he captivates them with a kiss that begins tenderly and turns possessive. She is sweet, soft, responding timidly to each caress of his tongue, and he desires more from her. Placing something comfortable on the cold earthen ground, he sets her down carefully, slowly removing her clothes, admiring every inch of her shivering skin for a few moments. Her eyes, glazed, willingly submit to his every caress and innocent passion, moaning with pleasure. And he, without hesitation, provides what she needs, indulging in her body and blood. After all, she is now in his territory and therefore belongs to him.

Hours pass, and the moon gives way to the majestic sun. Susana groans at the pleasant warmth on her skin and quickly opens her eyes, stretching languidly.

"Good heavens!!! It's as if I've been hit by a truck..." Groaning, Susana rubs her forehead; her head aches, as do certain parts of her body. Glancing around, she tries to understand why her room is so bright that morning. Gasping, she nearly runs out of breath upon realizing she's not at home but amidst trees and bushes. "My God!!! How did I end up here?" As she searches for any sign of her whereabouts, she spots her dress in the bushes. Checking her body, her breath catches in her throat. She's naked with a bloodstain on a carefully laid wolf pelt, as if it protected her from the cold, dirty forest floor. "But what happened here?" Blushing, she grabs her crumpled dress, trying to remember the night's events, but there's no memory. "Where's Nicole?"

Searching the area for her purse or cell phone and finding nothing, she becomes a bit scared, getting to her feet, vigilant of every bush and tree as she dresses. As she straightens her wrinkled clothes, she notices the dried blood on her skin and the furry animal-shaped blanket spread on the ground in that secluded spot.

Biting her lip, she runs toward the dirt road that leads out of the forest, sensing that her life will never be the same again, both in body and mind.
