It was a cold winter night. She finished her chores cleaning the kitchen for her patron. The duties of an indentured servant are never done, but it was time to retire for the evening. Layer after layer she removed her wears. She was lucky to serve a Captain of a trade ship. She was accommodated with a room in the main house. It was quiet this evening. She stoked the fire and added some wood for the stove then closed the oven doors to increase the heat then continued to her room. She could hear the breakers from the near by shore. The wind rustled at the trees out side. She proceeded up the narrow stairs. It was colder up here. The roof gables made the room taper at one side then opened up to a single window. She placed her garments on top of her bed to help warm her in the night. There was a basin of water where she splashed her face and sat down to brush her hair. Thoughts of the day clouded her mind. The Captain returned recently with his trade but when he reached port he had lost over half his crew to madness. She wasn't exactly sure what had happened but she had over heard her master remark that some of the crew disappeared while others were found bloody with animal bites on their necks. Some even worse.
She turned the keys to tighten the hemp ropes that held her mattress and crawled in to bed. The night grew still. She couldn't sleep. Then she felt something. It felt like someone was sitting next to her as she laid there. The faint sensation of weight yet no one was there. This feeling continued as if someone was caressing her thigh and reaching for her breast. There was no mistake. Someone or something was sitting above her and held each arm down. She felt a breath of air blow in her ear that whispered, "Are you ready?"
Then her chin was slowly turned to one side and the warmth of a bite pierced her passionately. It was like nothing she had ever felt before. Her breath quickened and her heart raced. She spread her legs in approval and turned her cheek to reveal the other side of her neck. With her last breath she whispered, "Yes."
