- basking in his presence.
‘Goodnight Sarah,’ he said, looking into her eyes. She felt him projecting his influence, and became very sleepy.
‘Goodnight Daniel,’ she whispered, as she closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms.

Sebastian walked across the hall and snapped the woman’s neck. He supported her weight; before she could fall to the floor and alert the rest of the household. Instinct took over and he sank his teeth into her neck. He was no-longer a vampire, he was something else altogether - a dark spirit in possession of a fresh body. He no longer had fangs, so it took extra pressure to pierce through her skin and draw blood.
It was exquisite. A completely different sensation from when he had been a vampire. It was all about the power, not the taste. He felt it rush into the human body, making the bond between himself and the man that much stronger. It increased his feeling of control exponentially, making him far stronger than any human could be.
When he had extracted all her blood he gently laid her on the ground and penetrated deeper into the house. He was looking for his next victim.
He saw a middle aged man, sitting in the dark, alone. The television was on and flickering colors were lighting his face. Sebastian approached him.
The man was not instantly alerted to danger, as Sebastian was in the body of his son, yet when he glanced up and saw the blood on his face, the dark flash in his eyes. Sebastian saw his relaxed manner switch to terror.
He smiled at the man, mocking him. Sebastian raised his finger to his lips and sucked off some of the women’s blood. The man moved quickly and pushed him back.
At the same time he shouted: ‘Angela - RUN.’ He started to run himself.
Sebastian laughed - he took pleasure in the chase.
He ran after him. He wasn’t as fast as he had been when he was a vampire, but was still faster than the overweight man before him. Sebastian grabbed him from behind, before he had even left the room. He held his hand firmly over the man’s mouth to muffle his screams.
Sebastian bit hard, feeling the blood and power rush into him afresh. The man squirmed in his arms, trying to break free. His heart stopped as his blood left his body. Sebastian let him fall.
He heard someone running - Angela he presumed - down the stairs, towards the back door.
Sebastian wiped the blood from his face and raced towards her, adamant that she would not escape.
He saw a girl running ahead and sped up, grabbing her by the shoulders. She was the last in the house so now he was in no hurry. He didn’t have to worry about neighbors overhearing as they lived alone on the edge of town.
She looked around, and seeing her brother’s face - covered in blood - she tried to scream, but no sound came out. He turned her body around to face him. She was young, a teenager, and beautiful. Straight brown hair fell to her shoulders, and blue eyes looked petrified as he studied her. Leering at her.
She was wearing pink flannel pajamas, which didn’t hide her slender form and small breasts.
With one hand he held her shoulder firmly, so she couldn’t escape, and with his other hand he stroked her silky hair. He pulled it back and exposed her neck. Sebastian let his teeth nip at it, but then his mouth travelled to her face and he kissed her hard.
She struggled against him, trying to keep her mouth shut at all costs.
This aroused him and he pushed her back. She hit her head against a table and yelped in pain and fear.
Sebastian sprang, landing on top of her and ripping off her pajama bottoms.
She was fighting inconsequentially. Pushing at him, tears staining her face. He watched her fear increase as he slowly undid his belt, button and zip.
He pushed his erection into her, taking out his anger on this young girl. As he pounded against her he bit hard at her neck. Blood rushed out of her, swelling his body with power. Her heart stopped as he climaxed into her.
He withdrew and pushed her used body aside.
Sebastian straightened up, feeling dark power coursing through him. He kicked the girl out of his way, and headed up the stairs.
He would clean himself up and think. He needed to come up with a plan before he could tackle the problem of Daniel.
