Subject: Vasilla: A transformation like no other 103 views

[Theo]

Vasilla had lured the zombies away before she destroyed them. Of course they were her competition for food. However they were lower on the food chain than her. She was the top predator in this city. She even had destroyed other of her kind to help preserve her food. As she came back around her eyes picked out the faint red glow from the tail lights from the ambulance at least a mile ahead in the distance. The rain poured down around her. Lightening flashes in the sky. She would have to be quick to be able to follow their trail, the rain would wash it away quickly. She sprinted through the streets making haste to the last place she knew to find fresh blood. She made her way into an apartment complex and worked her way to the third floor. It was night time, so he was probably sleeping. She moved down the hall stalking silently in the darkness. For her it was not dark, she could see detail that even Humans could not make out. She could smell him. His body odor was mixed with the smell of warm processed meat. Stew, he must have found the cans she had left. She moved to his door and opened it. The man sat on the floor. He had a bowl of stew sitting on the floor in front of him. He looked up to her and reached for his knife. She held her hand up to him. "I have a proposition for you." She said coming in and shutting the door behind her. She could feel his heartbeat, it was a beacon to her, she was using every bit of her strength to not rip him apart. She moved across the front entry way into the living room where he sat on the floor in the dinning room. The rooms were connected with no wall I between them. She sat down on his leather love seat and kicked her feet up on the coffee table. He say there watching her. Unsure, he gathered his thoughts for a moment, a proposition huh? "Well sure, come on in and have a seat." He snarked at her. "You the one that's been leaving me food?" He asked, he was avoiding her question, he wanted some answers first. A smile creeped across her face. She was amused, she didn't have time for this. But she would play along. 
"Yes, it has been me leaving the cans of food for you." She said smoothly
"Aren't you one of those things?" He was quick to ask another question.
"Well, yes and no. I'm not like those mindless idiots that wander around in the streets, even you know that. They don't talk or think really. They devour flesh, I drink human blood." She explained as simply and quickly as she could. Before he had time to ask her another question, she began with her proposition, "I have a proposition for you, that you would be wise to take, you really have no other option, but this is what is best for both of us." She looked at him to make sure he was still following what she was saying. "If you come with me, I will keep you fed and safe, and in return you will feed me." She let her words fall into the silence. She waited for his slow human thoughts to process what she said. He looked at her confused but he had more questions. "If you drink blood, how would I feed you with out turning? Wouldn't I turn like the others?" She already knew what he would ask before he asked it, she was prepared to answer. "There are ways to feed were I won't infect you. I don't have to rip your throat out to do so. We must leave now. It is not safe here and I need to feed. So I will take you with me, and keep you safe. Do you think you can do that? Or
do I have to drag you kicking and screaming?" He stood up picking his bowl of soup up with him. "Let me just finish this soup, I'll pack some stuff quickly and we can go." She was surprised by his answer expecting him to resist. She nodded and moved towards him. " I will retrieve a vehicle, grab your things and meet me out front at the lobby in ten minutes. If you try to run, I will cut your Achilles so you can never walk again, if you try to fight me, you will lose." She was inches from his face as she spoke the last words. He nodded "Believe me, I won't do that, and I can't wait to get out of here. I know where some other people are. They tried to kill me and take my stuff about a week ago. I can lead you to where they are, so you can feed." Vasilla nodded "Ten minutes..." And she vanished. Good, she thought. I would probably kill him if I tried. She was going to hunt Aldrid down. She needed Theo in her life. She needed to know that he was safe, even if it meant killing this entire cities population of
zombies to do it, she would. She made her way to find a vehicle, and then to find some gas...
