can you hear me say your name forever?

Cora and Mabel were just two seniors among many who had decided it was a good idea to sneak out of their hotel in the middle of the night and run all over NYC without supervision. The senior class was one from Birmingham, UK, a good thirty-three hundred miles from where they were right now. And yet, none of them were terrified to get lost in a city they didn't know. The group of about thirty students all broke off into smaller groups of 2-4 once they were far enough away from the hotel.

The two friends had decided to stick together, going off in a direction all their own, that led down a smaller street, littered with bars and tattoo shops that had blaring red and purple blinking open signs. The smell of alcohol and weed flowed freely through the air, and about five blocks away from the hotel, the girls stumbled upon a nightclub called The Vault that had a line outside that spanned around the whole building.

"Looks like a pretty popular place." Mabel said. She wanted to try and find a way inside, but she didn't know if they'd be able to manage it. She bet the two could pass for twenty-one, but she didn't look like she really fit the dress code. She expected to just be trying to sneak into a grungy bar, so she had practically rolled out of the hotel in her sleep clothes. "Cmon-" She ushered to Mabel and started to walk around the building, watching the bouncer at the door, but he seemed far to overwhelmed with the long line to notice.

Around the corner of the building was just a tiny alleyway, that led to the backdoor of the club and along the side of the wall were tinted black windows. Cora tried to peek into one of them, but it was hopeless. "This place looks posh." Mabel stepped back and crossed her arms over her chest.

Brian walked around the corner, from the back side of the building upon hearing the girl's voice. "Yeah, it's pretty posh." He teased the blonde. He crossed his arms over his chest after dropping his cigarette to the ground. "Can you ladies not read?" He asked, "Or did you not notice the 'Employees only' sign blocking off this alley?"

He took a few steps towards the girls, breathing in the sweet scent of them. They were intoxicating. He looked between the two, thinking about how he could keep the green eyed blonde and he would bet that Matt would love the one in pink. Or they'd make lovely additions to their underground business. "How about we go inside? If you're finished trying to find a way to sneak inside, that is." He smirked, wrapping his arms around the girls waists, "That's what you want so badly, right?" He began walking them to the backdoor.

The Vault was a vampire only night club. The line outside was so long, because ninety-percent of humans get turned away. Only a handful of beautiful girls and handsome men are allowed in, and they usually never walk back out.

Brian looked down at Cora and licked one of his fangs as he opened the backdoor of the club and forced the two inside.

Cora watched as they made their way down the smaller street. As they got closer to the club, she noticed the line, “Wow.” She was suddenly happy that she had made the change from her sleep clothes to something more suitable. As she lead Mabel down the alley to see if they could peak inside, Cora tried to peak in the windows.

Hearing a mans voice, Cora jumped and quickly moved by Mabel. She hadn’t noticed a sign, but now she was wishing she had. This whole thing seemed to be a bad idea now. Before she had a chance to realize what happened, the man had his arms wrapped around them and they were being ushered into the club.

---

Matt has made his way back into the club after checking the line outside. It was no surprise that the line was practically wrapped around the building. They had made it their top priority for the club to be Vampire only and there were few humans they would let in.

He raised an eyebrow as Brian walked in the back door with two blondes and he was drawn to the one in pink. A small smirk crossed his lips as they moved closer. “What do we have here?” He questioned, looking between the girls and then to Brian.

“These two were desperate to find their way into the club, I figured I’d give them a little help,” Brian laughed. Matt could tell that the girls were uncomfortable which only amused him more. “So, what exactly where you ladies expecting to see in here?” Matt questioned.

Mabel knew the instant she felt that man's arm snake around her waist that they were both in trouble. She wanted nothing more than to try and refuse, to force herself away from his side, but her body wouldn't listen. Her steps followed in sync with his, and she wasn't sure if she was just paralyzed by fear or what. The man led the girls through the back entrance, entering an absolutely gorgeous nightclub. Red was everywhere, as far as Mabel could see, as the trio walked down a metal curved staircase down into the lounge. Brian led them through the packed crowd, past the bar and multiple cages where half naked ladies were dancing, towards a more secluded section of the business, where only a few people were sitting.

Brian led them over to a long black leather couch where just one man sat. He was a bit muscly, and wore all black from head to toe, even his backwards baseball cap and bandanna were void.

Mabel couldn't help but choke up, "We just...saw the long line and were curious, b-but we really shouldn't be here, were only like nineteen so we should probably go-" She looked towards Cora and tried to move closer to her and away from the man who had basically forced them to this point.

Brian chuckled, he figured they were pretty young. He stepped around the pair to block off the exit out of the VIP area. "Hey now, not so quick to leave. You just got here. Why don't I order you two girls a drink to take the edge off?" He smirked and crossed his arms over his chest.

He wasn't afraid of his club being suspect of allowing in underage drinkers, they'd never make it out to tell about it anyways. And even if he did want to let them go, he didn't, because their smell was intoxicating. "I don't think these girls know who we are." Brian chuckled, looking over to Matt. Everyone in this city new their gang owned all of these nightclubs, and 80% of the drugs being pumped into the city. They were to rich to be messed with, no one would be crazy enough to try and take them down.

Cora glanced over at Mabel, knowing they both were regretting their decision to go out and explore their surroundings. It was becoming more and more obvious that these men knew exactly what they were doing. It just so happened that Cora and Mabel turned out to be the perfect targets for whatever plans Matt and Brian had.

Hearing Brian speak to Matt, a chill ran down her spine. Who exactly are these men and what did Mabel and Cora walk into. She watched as Matt waved one of the girls over with a couple drinks.

---

Matt took the drinks off the tray, handing both of the girls a drink, "Take a drink, sit back and relax." Although he did enjoy watching how uncomfortable the girls were, he wanted them to let their guards down. "So, where are you ladies from?" In his mind, the further they were from home, the better it would be for Brian and himself.

Realizing it might help, Matt looked at the girls, "I'm Matt and that's Brian, we run most of the club's in the city." He was trying his best to ignore the fact that he could practically smell Mabel's blood flowing through her veins.

@ dezzy

Brian took a drink from the tray, shooing the girl away with it afterwards. He brought it up to his nose, hoping the harsh scent of the alcohol would distract him from the sweet, sweet scent of Cora.

It wasn’t helping much, but he drank from it anyway. He knew the girls didn’t live anywhere near this city, they screamed tourist from a mile away. But he hoped where ever they were from it was far enough a way that it would take a miracle for them to be found.

---

Mabel took the drink that was handed her and looked down into it, wondering if she could trust it. She also didn’t know if she should tell these men they were from out of the country. Would it matter? She was sure they’d do whatever they wanted to either way.

“England.” She chewed on her lip, swirling her drink around in her glass.

@ foREVerYours.

Cora swirled her drink in her glass, seeing the look on Matt’s face made her increasingly worried. Unfortunately, she realized there was no way for them to get out.

To be honest, she was terrified to take a drink. There was no way for her to know if they had slipped something in their drinks. Listening to Matt speak, just made her even more scared.

---

Hearing Mabel mention that they were from England, Matt had to stop himself from smirking. It was just perfect to know that these girls were so far from home that it would practically be a miracle for anyone to find them.

“Relax, we’re all here just to enjoy ourselves and relax, right?” He questioned, seeing both of the girls eyeing their drinks suspiciously. Matt leaned back, drinking his beer.
