The Lure of a Vampire

Without thought Chastity laid on her stomach and shimmied under the bed just as the light flicked on, "No one's here," the female said disappointedly.

"Oh no, I know she's in here," the first male voice assured.

"I don't think this is a good idea, Alex," the second male droned. "She has to belong to someone."

"Then she shouldn't be wandering about unattended. I only mean to check on our little guest."

Chastity could see the feet of the three people and she watched as the male actively searching for her wandered over to the closet and yanked the door open, shuffling around the clothes inside before closing the door once again.

"Come out, darling. I'm not going to hurt you," Alex crooned as he began wandering towards his friends.

Chastity jumped and let out a high pitched scream when he suddenly bent down and his brown eyes met hers, "There you are!"

Immediately hands began grabbing at her feet and Chastity struggled, screaming as they began dragging her from her hiding place, "Let me go!" She wailed as her swung her arms wildly, nails bared as she scratched at the hands holding her.

"Jesus, she's a wild one. She definitely doesn't belong to anyone," the more timid male said.

"Then how'd she get in the coven house?" The female asked as she grabbed at Chastity's hands, holding them down.

"Maybe she broke in?"

"Does it matter how she got in?" Alex asked in a frustrated tone as he approached Chastity. "Do you belong to anyone, darling?"

"What the fuck? No! Let me go! I want to leave!" Chastity screamed even as one of the offending hands holding her moved tilting her head to the side.

The female spoke then, "She hasn't been bitten guys."

"Jesus, Char, you think someone couldn't have bitten her somewhere else?" The quiet male asked. "Let's just let her go. Obviously she doesn't belong here."

"Grow a pair, Clint," Alex snapped. "Obviously she is supposed to be here since she's hiding." Alex approached her slowly then until he stood toe to toe with her. "Who brought you here?"

Chastity stared at him in terror, for the first time taking in his appearance. He was only an inch or two taller than herself, his features plain; brown eyes and sandy blond hair that was cropped short. Yet the presence that radiated off him terrified her, sending off every alarm of self preservation she had. Her innermost thoughts telling her if she didn't flee he would hurt her. "I'm waiting, girl."

Swallowing against the lump that formed in her throat she breathed the only name she could, "Max..."

Releasing her as if they were burned, the two sets of hands that were on here suddenly vanished. Char-- which Chastity assumed was short for Charlotte-- and Clint backed off of her quickly as Alex looked disbelieving at her, "No way."

"Jesus H. Christ!" Clint cursed loudly, "I told you to leave her alone. Do you have any idea what Maximus will do to us if he finds out we touched her?"

"No. I don't believe her," Alex said suddenly, his eyes still locked on her like a heat seeking missile. "Maximus physically brought you here himself?"

Chastity was suddenly relieved to see she held some power of the three who were actively holding her captive. That whoever her father had sold her to was someone at least two of them feared. "I don't know if his name is Maximus or not but he called himself Max de Laurentiis."

"Fuck me," Alex groaned, bending over and grabbing his hair in frustration. It was a full minute before he stood again and asked, "Why did he bring you here?"

"I... don't know. I think he plans to sell me..." Chastity whispered, looking around the room, trying to map out a new escape. "Please just let me go. I... I won't tell the police he kidnapped me." She stepped to the side, trying to get a clear line to the door.

Alex stepped forward again, grabbing her arm in his tight grip, "Don't move," he hissed at her and Chastity looked to him fearfully.

"Jesus..." Charlotte groaned from behind her, "What do we do?"

"I would let her go if you know what is wise," Max chided from the open doorway.
