The Vampire Flick

“The Vampire Flick” is an online story, which will hopefully be written by many authors.

The idea is that you write your contribution based on reading only the preceding part, and at the end we will have an interesting (and strange!) story.

If you are interested in taking up the challenge and want to write the next part, then read Part 6 ONLY below and post the next part on your blog/website with a link to my part (#6). Also, post a comment at the the source (or @necol66 on Twitter, since he seems to know what's going on) if you are taking up the challenge to contribute to this story.

Here is Part 6 (it’s short, but a good set up, I think):

“No, thank you,” Scarlett said. She stood, her legs shaking. A rush of nausea swept through her and the world spun.

“Are you okay?” Sasha asked, steadied Scarlett with a hand gripping her sister’s elbow.

Scarlett nodded, jerked her arm free. “I’m fine. Why don’t you go ahead and get the humiliation over with, okay?”

A laugh tore from Sasha and she threw back her head. She calmed, level her stare at her sister, a smile tracing across her thin lips. “You’re not getting off that easy. I’ve got you right where I want you.”

Scarlett watched as her sister walked off, a hum trailing behind, a song from their younger days, when the animosity wasn’t so strong, the anger wasn’t so damning. Clenching her teeth, Scarlett went the other way, hands balled into fists.

“I need to kill,” she said and sniffed the air. Food stirred in the not so far away distance.
