Cattle. Iris thought.

Breathing, eating, flirting cattle. No more important a source of food and without them I’d die. What a cherishing thought.

The Dark Doors Club was booming tonight because it was Halloween and all around Iris were skimpy dressing, dirty looking, horny dancing cattle. There was her kind too, enjoying the scenery of not having to hide, but Iris didn’t bother showing her true colours that night. She just stood by the bar scanning the crowd looking for a different kind of entertainment.

Dressed in black Stiletto heels, black tight jeans and a low cut black shirt, Iris knew if looks could kill hers would. Her movements were predatory, like a cat scouting out mice. With her long dark hair flowing around her beautiful pale face her violet eyes were the only signs of colour.

As Iris’s luscious lips touched the drink her slender fingers were holding she heard someone say, “Hey there gorgeous. Here alone?” To Iris’s right, a man dressed as Count Dracula was leaning close enough that she could tell he wasn’t looking at her face. Perfect.

“Why do you ask?” Iris’s husky voice came out as she turned around to face him. Once he realized she was listening he stumbled when he noticed her eyes.

“Wow, ah, just because you’re standing here by yourself,” the Count managed to get out.

“Well it’s your lucky day,” as she leaned in closer to him she wrapped her arm around his and said, “Because tonight I’m with you.” Iris dragged the half drunk half mesmerized Dracula to the dance floor and started to sway to the music.

Right then Bonecracker was booming out of the speakers and the crowd around her was moving to more of her own beat. Iris and the Count were getting friendlier and he was beginning to explore her body. She knew he would feel firm muscles with a strange cool feeling to them. Her hips moved in time with his and he began to lower his lips towards hers. As he was staring for an invitation Iris opened her mouth and let the tip of her tongue touch his upper lip.

She could feel his body quiver and as he closed his eyes and leaned in for the move Iris gave him a little more of a surprise. No one around her would have noticed her teeth extend and retract as fast as hers and in one swift movement she cut his lip. He pulled away for a brief moment to touch what she had done, but Iris pulled him down to her face and then they were kissing.

Iris’s mind began to swim with the intoxicating taste of blood filling her mouth. It gave her an electric shock that woke her up from a long sleep and she wanted more. As Iris felt her body respond to the life force flowing down her throat and her grip got harder on the Counts hips she didn’t notice the girl screaming at her. Then finally whatever was screaming now pulled Iris away from the now high looking Dracula.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” A girl dressed in a nurse’s outfit that would deftly throw her out of the hospital was shouting at Iris. When Iris was able to properly focus she noticed that she had an audience. Those who were of her kind looked at her intently showing that they defend her if need be. But with a quick glance that said hold you’re ground, Iris turned her eyes on the slutty nurse.

“Dancing. What does it look like?” Iris spoke to the girl in such a way that it made her flush.

“You call that dancing? It would seem more like you were fucking my boyfriend than dancing.” The girl held her ground, Iris could admire that, but she was growing bored.

“Boyfriend? Really? He didn’t mention he was taken,” Iris said.

“Well he is so back off,” the girl snapped back. Iris shrugged and started to turn away when she felt a weak hold grab her upper arm.

“Hey skank. I’m not done talking to you,” The girl gripped harder trying to make Iris turn around. But Iris didn’t budge and instead said, “I only give one warning. Let go of me or I’ll toss you across the room.” The girl only gripped harder, this time digging her fake nails into Iris’s skin. And at that moment Iris turned in a round-house kick and the nurse was knocked out on the other side of the dance floor.

“I did warn her,” Iris said this to no one in particular as everyone swarmed around the unconscious girl.

And through out this the guy dressed up as Dracula just stood there swaying. “Thanks for the dance,” Iris said and kissed his bottom lip. The cut from her teeth had already healed. He won’t remember what happened tonight when he wakes up the next day. As far as he’s concerned he just danced with a mysterious looking girl and pissed off his girlfriend. But to Iris she calmed the blood lust for another night.

No one tried to stop her as she walked away from the dramatic scene. The bouncers were like her and knew she was well protected by the Elders and didn’t bother to escort her out of the club. But merely nodded their heads and murmured, “Ms.Knight.”
