Chapter 4 : Fate, Faye and the Flying Cannibals – Part One.
Licking her lips clean of her wards' sweet iron essence Vivienne watched as the young woman left in the BMW. One issue resolved, The French born woman gathered up her disguise that turned her into the Raven, and headed to her blood red Lamborghini so she could settle the affairs that had started the prior evening. The engine on the sports car fired up and made a lovely purr, not a single sound out of place for the machine. Her cold blue eyes looked at the clock on the HUD , and noted that the time was still very early, leaving Vivienne with at least another ten hours before sunrise. She backed the car from her garage and headed down the small road towards the main Virginia Beach boardwalk.
Knowing the Raven could have been seen in the cameras, the hotel was the most immediate problem on her mind. If the actions of the night before had been recorded the video would likely have been in all digital format, Vivienne reasoned. Thinking about the drummer reminded the vampire of the jewelry that she’d gathered after the small battle, and she reached into her pocket to reassure herself that the trinkets were still there. Shaking off the thought, she pressed harder on the accelerator in order to get to the hotel a bit faster. Roaring to life, the little red machine increased to an almost breakneck speed, Vivienne’s eyesight and reactions adjusting perfectly to control the beastly vehicle.
When the vampire saw the red and blue lights flip on and pursue her, she glanced down at the speedometer where it had registered just over one hundred miles per hour. Knowing her car had a unique style and a personalized plate, Vivienne slowed down and pulled to the side of the road and waited for the police officer to approach the window. Vivienne thought of two words of truth that she’d gained over time -Sex sells. – Preparing herself, the beautiful doctor left her hair in a mess and made sure that her long black locks fell gracefully over the curvature of her breasts. Forcing blood to her lips she made them deep red and plump enough to want to be kissed. Adding a glossy look she licked her lips, and knew the hint of feminine prowess would help control this outcome long before the officer arrived.
With her image in place for the officer, Vivienne quickly adjusted the mirrors slightly. It wouldn’t be immediately obvious but they were angled slightly away from her non-existent reflection. The last thing she did was flip on the stereo and found a station playing a simple song from the past by a band named Cheap Trick, its title, “I want you to want me.” The music was barely above a whisper, yet enough to plant the idea further in the human mind of a possible sexual encounter. Right on cue, having set the stage the best she could in the circumstances, Vivienne looked directly into the officer’s face with her steadfast blue eyes that seemed to sparkle with the moonlight above.
Clearing his throat, the officer attempted to sound intimidating, just to end up stumbling over his words. “Ca-I-um, Hello Ma’am. Your, your license please?” Vivienne handed the officer her information along with a card denoting that she was in fact Dr. Moreau and offered her hand to shake. “Very pleased to meet you, Officer..” Her French accent, silky and smooth in the attempt to further entice the officer now at her window.
“O-Officer Glen Martin.” He offered one of his hands in return, the other one pointing to his shiny nameplate.
Clasping his hand gently but firmly enough so he couldn’t break free, Vivienne turned the handshake into a quick feeding. She bit down into the visible veins on Glen’s hand and fed long enough to see the glazed look in the officer’s eyes then retracted her needle like fangs. She then blew on his hand to close the wound and remove the last few seconds from his memory. The quick thinking vampiress then let the officer's hand slip, and he stumbled backwards just enough to end up in on-coming traffic. Seeing the drowsy and pleasant look still in Glen’s eyes, Vivienne jumped from her seat and pulled the officer from the middle of the road before leaning him against her car. “There, there officer. We cannot have you walking in the street, shall we?” She purred.
After blinking a few times and shaking his head Glen managed to speak, “I suddenly got dizzy there. Thank you very much for the a-assistance ma’am.” Glen rubbed his eyes with one hand and gathered his wits about him the best he could given the irresistible vampire close to him. “I am in your debt, Dr. Moreau.. If I can still think. I-um, let me make sure you aren’t wanted for anything, please step to the back of your vehicle and wait.”
“You are so kind to guide me safely, Officer Martin.” She cooed. Smiling, Vivienne guided the officer to his patrol car, then walked to her own. Watching and listening to him speak to his dispatcher, Vivienne took a few extra seconds to fluff her hair to look a little more natural, and still accent her breasts through the tight top she was wearing.
She entwined her fingers to her hands as the officer re-approached, “I initially had you on radar doing over one-hundred twenty miles per hour on this road, doctor. However, given that you just basically saved my life, I am going to let this go with a warning and a handshake for not letting me get run over when I had that dizzy spell.”
“One-hundred twenty?” Vivienne covered her mouth in feigned shock. “Me.. oh.. my officer. I must have been reading the needle wrong again. I assure you I will be more careful next time.” The black haired doctor sold the lie with an alluring smile, adding in a few nervous finger snaps for effect.
“Yes, well. Please slow down, Doctor. I wouldn’t like it if you got hurt.” He spoke softly, “I have your card here; is there a chance you can take the time and see what caused that dizzy spell a few seconds ago?” Making the question an obvious attempt at a date.
“I am a cardiologist, my new friend. I work at night really. You can call the hospital with the number on the card and tell them that I sent you. They will point you in the right direction with the dizziness. If it comes to the point where it becomes an issue with your heart, I will certainly take you on as a patient.”
