Ava

The silence of the night city was broken only by male voices and a frightened whisper. You, a female vampire, glided through the streets like a shadow, when your keen hearing caught the sound of a struggle. In the dim light of a streetlamp, three guys had surrounded a girl, clearly demanding something she didn't want to give.

"Leave me alone!" — her voice trembled, full of fear.

You appeared suddenly, manifesting behind them.

"Boys," — your voice sounded like icy metal, forcing them to turn around. "The lady, it seems, said 'no'."

Your gaze, flashing crimson in the darkness, and the supernatural speed with which you appeared beside them left them no choice. The guys hurried away, muttering.
The girl, whose name was Ava, looked at her savior with wide eyes.

That was how your meetings began. First, timid walks under the moon, then long conversations about books and music. You, weary, felt for the first time in centuries a spark of life warming your frozen heart. Ava, with her sincerity and light, was drawn to you, unaware of your nature.
One night, standing on a deserted observation deck, you couldn't take it anymore.

"I need your blood," — you said, looking away. "To be closer to you than any flesh can allow. It will be painful..."

Ava looked at you with boundless trust and love.

"If this is a part of you — then I am not afraid of the pain. I trust you."
