 Jessica enjoyed her afternoon at the pool, relaxing, taking a swim or two,
and soaking up the sun.  Around four, she headed back to the condo, took a
quick shower, dressed in shorts and a t-shirt, and made herself a big salad
for dinner.  Her only message was on her cell, and it was a reminder of the
meeting tonight from Pandora.

   Around ten, as Jessica was beginning to doze on the sofa, Pandora
arrived.  She gently massaged Jessica's shoulders and tenderly awakened her
from her nap.  Jessica smiled up at Pandora.  Pandora slit her left wrist
and gave Jessica two swallows of vampire blood to strengthen her, then told
her to go and strip.  Arthur would be by soon.  Jessica sighed and headed
off to the bedroom.

   "You've done exceptionally well, Pet," said Pandora as Jessica was in
the bedroom.  "I hope you enjoyed your bonus feeding.  There is just one
more task you must perform for me.  Then I will send you on a little
holiday.  Perhaps to Aruba for a week or so.  How does that sound?"

   Jessica entered the living room wearing a red and white-striped low-rise
thong and a smile.  Pandora approved.

   "Aruba would be fine, Pandora," replied Jessica.  "I do think that I
deserve it."

   "Yes, you do, dear," said Pandora, smiling.

   Jessica watched as three other male members of the vampire community
entered the living room.  One was Arthur, who had been her lover the past
few weeks.  Byron, the ghoul with which she had worked, was also present.
And the third male was a vampire Jessica had never met.  She blushed. 
Pandora had tasted her menstrual juices and Arthur had loved her.  Byron
she had worked with, but he had never seen her naked.  And she was
completely unfamiliar with the other vampire.  She folded her arms across
her breasts, and Pandora reached over and pulled them down.  Jessica
smiled, embarrassed, and looked at the floor.

   "Jessica," said Pandora, "this other vampire is Kenneth.  And, Pet, you
should never be embarrassed about showing your beauty in front of the
vampire community.  You need to be a little more like Cindy."

   "Yes, Pandora," said Jessica meekly, while slyly looking at Ken.  He was
tall and rangy, with the ruggedness of the outdoors on his face.  He was
lean, with broad shoulders, and appeared muscular.  His hair was brown,
with some grey around the temples.  He was quite handsome.

   "Now, to business," said Arthur.  "You should know by now, Jessica, that
Nosferatu enjoy sex with human females.  Quite simply, you were the bait to
lure the renegade vampire.  We would have preferred Cindy, but we were
afraid she would be recognized, as she has serviced both myself as well as
other Nosferatu in this area."

   "Perhaps we should start at the beginning," suggested Ken, his voice a
mellow and calming baritone.  He never took his eyes off of the thong-clad
girl.

   "Quite right," said Pandora, and she began.  "Jessica, my pet, vampires
suffer from one disease, and one disease only.  Do you know what it is?"

   Jessica shook her head from side to side.

   "Insanity is the disease," said Pandora, her voice low and serious.  "It
usually happens when a vampire loses touch with their human activity.  For
me, it is a love of music.  For Nosferatu, it is built-in.  It is their
love of human women.  Other vampires also like human woman.  When a vampire
loses touch with their human activity, they go insane and become feral. 
What you experienced last night was an insane Nosferatu that had become
feral.  They must be destroyed when they reach that point."

   "Sometimes," added Arthur, "the vampire will go to sleep.  It will sleep
for, oh, fifty, sixty, even one hundred years and wake up just fine.  Other
times it will go to sleep and never awaken.  Sometimes the vampire decides
to watch a sunrise.  Or they build a bonfire and walk into it.  It can
vary. But when they go completely feral, as that one was last night, they
are dangerous.  And they are dangerous not only to humans, but to the
vampire community as well."

   "So, you see," added Kenneth, his mellow baritone soothing Jessica, but
his eyes never leaving her body, "at that point, the vampire must be `put
down,' so to speak.  Rather like a mad dog.  You were the bait to lure him.
Arthur, Pandora, and myself watched you every night.  You were never in any
real danger.  But we had to have him carry you off to the woods.  We could
not destroy him in the condo.  It would have caught on fire."

   "You performed admirably," said Pandora, smiling.  "You will be
rewarded."

   Jessica understood.  She knew what her role was as a ghoul.  She asked
permission to make some tea, and the small party made small talk for the
remainder of the evening.  It was small talk, however, with a twist.

   Arthur smacked her bottom a few times.  Since she was only wearing the
low-rise thong, this was not difficult at all.  He made her blush when her
gave her nipples some painful pinches.  Pandora simply watched and smiled.
The more the Nosferatu sexed her girls, the more favors they owed her.

   What really embarrassed Jessica was the fact that while Arthur was
playing, he was also discussing her sexual merits with Kenneth.  Kenneth
grinned and gave her nipples a very rough twist.  Jessica gasped and stood
on one foot.  At that point, Kenneth stuck a hand inside of her thong to
find out how wet she was.  He smiled: he was pleased.

   The party slowly ended, with Pandora being the last to leave.  She
looked at Jessica and smiled.  She tenderly felt Jessica's nipples, and she
understood why Arthur would love to torture them.  Then she spoke.

   "Jessica, you will allow Kenneth to make love with you.  Do you
understand?"

   "Yes, Pandora," said Jessica.  "I know my place."

   "Good.  You will get an email tomorrow as to the time and place and what
you are to wear.  It will link his clan to me, much as the Nosferatu were
linked by Cindy.  He has some....ahhhhhhhh....  unusual tastes to which you
will cater.  Understood, Pet?"

   "Yes, Pandora."

   "You need to be a bit more like Cindy," said Pandora, smiling.  "Not as
slutty as she is, but you need to let go and really learn to enjoy the
sexual pleasure vampires can give you.  Of course, both Arthur and Heinz
have assured me you enjoy their attentions."

   Jessica looked down and blushed.

   Pandora smiled and left.  Jessica was in for a special treat, although
she had no idea what it was or how it would happen.
