Total Eclipse Of The Heart | Matt Murdock
Pairing: Matt Murdock x fem!vampire Reader
Series summary: The suspicion of a new drug epidemic follows a series of suspicious murders and bloodbaths on the streets of Hell’s Kitchen, and the police can’t seem to find the answers. On the search for the truth, the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen makes a shocking discovery – vampires are real, there are entire covens of them hiding in plain sight, and they’re not all heartless monsters; they actually have feelings.

a/n: Here it is! What turned out as a silly little thought is now an ongoing fic. It probably won’t be as long as Foreigner’s God since it doesn’t follow the storyline of the show at all, but it’s still something. The title is inspired by the Bonnie Tyler song, not because of the song itself but because we have a musical in Germany called “Dance Of The Vampires” and they reimagined that song in the musical. It’s my favorite musical of all time (and I’ve seen many) and this work is heavily inspired by the songs. Additional warnings will be added before every chapter!
PART ONE — Matt meets a strange woman at a work gala. From the start, he can tell that she means trouble.
Tumblr media
“There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers. There are those who are clean in their own eyes but are not washed of their filth. There are those—how lofty are their eyes, how high their eyelids lift! There are those whose teeth are swords, whose fangs are knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, the needy from among mankind. The leech has two daughters: Give and Give. Three things are never satisfied; four never say: “Enough”.” - Proverbs 30:11-18
Growing up in a catholic orphanage, Matt Murdock learned how to wear his religion on his sleeve. He believed in God; he was taught this undying version of faith that was supposed to sustain his body, and he was told to live by it even long after he was old enough to make his own decisions.
He never questioned it. He went to school, read the Bible up and down and when he was finished, he would start anew. He prayed until his knees were bloody and even then he only got up momentarily to relight the candle, and then he went back to dig his knees into the hard wood of the benches in Clinton Church, and he would pray again. He wasn’t sure what he prayed for if it was guidance or forgiveness, but the nuns at the orphanage told him that praying always served a purpose and that he was to do it as often as he possibly could. 
He spent every breathing hour of his life devoted to God, not expecting anything in return. As a boy, he craved answers, he craved the comfort of someone, anyone, even if it was just a faceless deity in the sky, though as he got older, he realized that some voices just won’t be heard. God can only do so much. There are limits even to his power. To some, he comes, to others, he doesn’t. Some prayers meet deaf ears and no matter how much you pray, it’s never enough. 
Still, he returned to the church he grew up in and he gave his heart to the cause. He prayed, he confessed and every time the world beat him down, he would light a candle at the altar to offer God his sacrifice. 
Matt didn’t fear much. He jumped head-first into danger and returned with his fists bloody. He had seen the bottom of humanity, stared down the endless pit of despair, yet he always came back. There wasn’t much he feared, at least not the things a normal human being should cower from. 
He wasn’t sure what exactly irked him about her though.
About the woman standing at the bar with a glass of Scotch in her hand - the expensive kind, he could smell the stench from miles away. The liquor rested on her lips, overshadowing even her sweet perfume and the scent of the dry cleaner’s sandalwood and rain laundry detergent left in the fibers of her equally as expensive dress. 
What color was it? He wanted to ask. Not that he cared, but the curiosity drew him closer to the stranger. It was a curiosity that came with a heavy feeling in his stomach as if mountains of stones kept him from moving. He was paralyzed. The tiny hairs on his neck stood up, his hand clenched around his cane and he couldn’t help but lick his lips one too many times. 
Cold sweat pooled in his palms. His senses reeled; as they always did at huge gatherings, too overwhelmed with all the new sensations and unable to focus on anything in particular which made him feel even more out of control than he usually did, but the second he caught onto the woman at the bar just standing there in all her confident glory, radiating so many red flags, he lost count, his blood pressure spiked and he went pale.
He had never met her before, but he instantly knew that there was something inherently wrong about her presence. She didn’t fit in.
The invisible hammer hit him suddenly. She was looking at him, he could tell. Her head tilted ever so slightly, eyes narrowing at his sight. If she could tell he was analyzing her or if she merely found him attractive, he couldn’t tell. 
Judging by the way her body language shifted from the elegant, confident woman to an almost dangerously cocky predator, he suspected it was the former. How could she have possibly caught onto that? Were his stiff posture, the position of his head, and his right grip around his cane that obvious? He usually made a habit of hiding his abilities, and he considered himself good at it. She seemed to look right through him though, and it felt humiliating to have her eyes bore right through his soul as if he were an open textbook. 
A hand found its way onto his shoulder. “Matt?” he heard his friend call out for him, but the cotton in his usually so sensitive ears kept the voice distant. 
He was hypnotized by the stranger on the other end of the room. It didn’t seem healthy to be so caught up on someone he had never met and couldn’t even see. Who knew who she was? She smelled of danger and despair, but at the same time, his body jolted with excitement at the prospect of her coming over after realizing he was trying to subtly check her out in his own special way. The rational part of him told him to run while the other urged him forward. He needed to get to know her, he needed to satisfy his curiosity and heal his suspicions. 
Matt wouldn’t give in, no. Dangerous people had their tricks to get people like him to fall for their charms, and she reeked of danger. Even without knowing her, he could tell that she was nowhere near the well-put-together woman she pretended to be around the men yearning for her, trying to buy her drinks and gain her attention by talking smart. She used them, she didn’t care. She thrived off of the attention, which was exactly why she turned to him when she felt his metaphorical eyes on her. 
“Matt!” Foggy’s voice grew louder. He tore the cotton from his ears, redirecting his attention. 
She slipped from his grasp as he turned to his friend, cheeks red and shocked at his inability to control his thoughts for only just a moment. 
His tongue darted out to wet his quivering bottom lip. “Yeah,” he said. “Sorry, I got distracted. What were you saying?”
Distracted was an understatement.
“Henry’s here,” he told him.
“Henry?”
“From college. Henry Verlice.”
He raised his eyebrows behind the red glasses that adorned his face. The light of the chandelier fell on him just right, tinting his pale skin a soft yellow and underlining the dark color of his glasses. He adjusted them on his nose and said, “Henry ‘the Hunk’ Verlice?” 
Foggy clapped. “Exactly!”
“Wow,” he pretended to sound as if he hadn’t heard their old classmate enter the gala about twenty-five minutes ago. “Didn’t he drop out of college in the fourth semester because he knocked up Sarah McKinley, our civil rights professor’s wife?” 
“So they say.” He sipped his drink, a mixture of vodka and cranberry juice, with just a little more of the latter to make up for the bitter alcohol. 
Foggy was an avid beer drinker. He didn’t like Scotch, he preferred Whiskey, but the choices they offered at this particular gala made even Matt’s stomach churn, and he drank cheap German beer for a living. 
He ordered a Macallan, neat. He always did. 
Matt toyed with the ice cubes in his drink. “Why do we care about Henry all of a sudden?” he asked.
“Haven’t you heard? He joined this huge law firm,” said Foggy. “Even bigger than Landman & Zach. They make a shit-ton of money. Now, remember what he said to us? That we were never going to make it?”
“Ah,” he chuckled knowingly, “you’re afraid he might remember us and when he finds out our law firm doesn’t make any money…”
“Imagine the talk, Matt! We just proved everyone who didn’t believe in us back then, right.” 
Matt pointed at his glass. “How much of that have you had?”
“Too much.”
“Okay,” he huffed. “We should be proud of what we do, Foggy. These people…” he motioned to the crowd of lawyers and judges around them, “they are only in it for the money. People like Henry do this job solely because they want to profit from the misery of their clients, possibly make them even more miserable. We don’t do that. We’re better than them. We take care of the little guy, no matter the cost. Why should we feel guilty for making this dream – our dream a reality?” 
Foggy looked at him as if he had just told him he didn’t know what cows were. “Because we’re broke, Matt!” he said. “We don’t have any money to flaunt around as they do.” He hit his drink back. “We don’t belong here.”
“I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying, but may I remind you that this was your idea?” he challenged.
“I didn’t expect us to run into so many of our old acquaintances.”
“What did you expect, a room full of strangers?”
“Would have been nice for a change,” he said. 
“Look, Foggy,” he grabbed his sleeve, “maybe you’re right. Maybe we should just leave.”
Much to his dismay, he shook his head. “We can’t pull out now, Matt. That would be even worse. For our reputation and my ego. Besides,” he said, and his giddy grin returned steadily with each passing second, “Where else would we get an open bar?”
In the distance, Matt heard the doors open again. Heels clacked against the floor. 
“Oh, finally! Marci’s here.” Foggy straightened his bow tie. “How do I look?”
“I don’t know, I can’t see,” he deadpanned back at him.
“Right, my bad,” he said. 
“I’m sure you look great.”
“Thanks, buddy! Appreciate the effort. If you need anything, just call, okay?”
Matt sighed deeply into his Macallan. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” he said. “Go and have sex with your very obnoxious girlfriend in some random bathroom like two randy teenagers.”
“You sure?” 
“Yeah, ‘cause that’s what I’d do. We’ve all been there. Now go, before Marci changes her mind and leaves you who earns the amount you have in college debt in just a month.”
Foggy pulled the loose strands of his unruly blond hair behind his ear. “I’m sure you’ll find an eligible partner here somewhere,” he said right before he left. “You always do, blind act and all. Stay strong, buddy. Marry a rich woman. You can do it.”
It was as good of a pep talk that he could come up with in his crush-induced haze. 
It wasn’t often his friend who stepped out early with a girl. Usually, Matt was the one with a woman or a man on his arm and back on the way to his apartment where he would indulge in several hours of great sex — he knew how to pick them and how to please them. Sex became his favorite coping mechanism, his senses finally being able to shut down and allowing him to breathe as he gave himself fully to someone else. His endeavors were entirely physical and they didn’t end in breakfast. 
What Foggy always told him he wanted, he hated most about himself. He enjoyed the meaningless encounters and the benefits that came from them, but it didn’t help with curing the deep loneliness in his chest, as if something or someone was missing.
Once his friend was gone, he became painfully aware of the same Scotch-scented lips he had lingered on only moments before. He couldn’t hear her heartbeat, he only made out the faint scent of her perfume. 
“So you didn’t come here alone,” her voice sounded like what he imagined the sirens of the sea in the several lore books he had read growing up to sound like whenever they sang. His toes curled, a chill ran up and down his spine, and somehow the sweet tone shot straight to his very touch-deprived cock. 
He flinched, turning around on the heel of his shiny dress shoes. 
“I’m sorry, did I startle you?” she asked. “That wasn’t my intention.” The curl of her tongue at the top of her mouth told him that she was lying. 
He started to doubt his hearing abilities. Her heartbeat was so faint, he almost missed it. It was slow, almost like the dying flame on a candle. She breathed in intervals, something he couldn’t possibly consider healthy. The closer she got, the colder her skin felt, and he wasn’t even touching her. His heart rate picked up, his brain secreted cortisol into his bloodstream. Any second now, his fight or flight instinct would kick in. He had a choice, but he couldn’t move. She had him under some kind of spell.
He clenched harder around his cane. “I- I’m sorry,” he breathed. 
She tilted her head. “Sorry for what, exactly? Stalking me or not coming up to talk to me when I caught you?”
Matt chuckled. Not even his mouth was under his control anymore. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You don’t?” she said, eyelashes batting innocently. 
Her finger touched the sleeve of his tux, purposely avoiding his skin. He could feel the low temperature radiating off of her, but somehow he was hotter than ever in the gigantic room. His bow tie seemed to suffocate him, and the buttons of his shirt wound too tightly around his torso. 
“And here I was, thinking you’d be interested in me.”
He swallowed.
“Am I wrong?” The woman stepped closer to him. Nothing else mattered but her scent and the intoxicating feel of her hands touching the fabric of his clothes. He lost control of himself, feeling his grip on reality loosen and slip into the abyss. 
He sucked in a sharp breath when her hand wandered to his neckline. She popped the button on the top. Matt sucked in the welcomed air instantly. He could taste her on his tongue now, sweet and salty and full of liquor. 
“You don’t even know my name,” he said. 
She shrugged, her red-painted lip curled into a smirk. “You don’t know mine either,” she said.
His eyes fluttered shut as her breath fanned over his face. “I believe that could be considered unethical, not knowing someone’s name before making advances.”
She chuckled, one of the softest tunes he had ever heard before. 
“I mean, that’s what you’re doing, isn’t it? You came here to see if you could get me into bed?”
She eyed him up close and personal, her head twitching to the side to take in the sight of his bare neck. His Adam's apple popped as he swallowed the lump threatening to choke him once more. His aorta bulged out of his skin. She watched as his pulse hammered against it even faster at her proximity. 
She licked over her lips. “More or less,” she rasped. 
He leaned back into her. The magnetic pull threatened to snap his neck and send him straight to hell. 
“Why, is that something that you’d want?”
“Is it something that you want?” he retorted. 
The glint in her eyes grew. She shoved the empty glass of Macallan aside, placing hers in his hand. “Have you ever tried Scotch that’s a century old?” 
His eyebrows shot up. The different aspects of her very unique scent were starting to cause a headache. He couldn’t differentiate between who he wanted her to be and who she truly was. 
Realizing he wasn’t quite present, she guided his hand to his mouth. His lips wrapped around the brim of her glass, tasting the slight cherry tint of her lipstick and her saliva mixed with the third portion of the same liquid. 
The Scotch burned down his throat. It was strong, sharp, and tasted musky. He wondered how expensive a bottle of this was, let alone a glass. Her eyes stayed on him the entire time, stronger when he licked his lips and subconsciously inched closer to her. As cold as she was, her body screamed for him to take her. He must have blacked out. This had to be a dream bordering on a nightmare. The mask he put on every time he went out as Matt Murdock was starting to slip into the one he put on at night. The darkness in his mind wasn’t his, it was the devil’s, and the snake that she was, she was compelling him to bite into the apple and give in. 
“Taste good?” she asked. 
Matt swallowed again. “It’s Scotch,” he answered. 
“Aren’t century-old things just beautiful? And they taste and smell absolutely…” she sniffed at the brown liquor, “ah, divine.”
“You have experience with that sort of thing?”
“I have experience with a lot of things.”
She placed the glass back down on the tabletop. Her heel nudged at his calf. He couldn’t move, not sure if it was her or himself this time that had him trapped close to her. He wasn’t lucid, couldn’t be, though at the same time he had never felt more aware of someone.
The world didn’t matter, his senses focused entirely on her, and even then they were lulled by everything that she had and had not. Trying to understand her had his mind in a painful twist, but his nerves didn’t respond to the stimuli. He felt nothing but a strange pull in her direction that made the blood run from his cheeks between his legs, the last place he wanted it to be. 
He buried his teeth in his bottom lip, glad that his glasses hid the inability to keep his eyes open or rolled forward in her presence. He didn’t want to give the stranger the power she wanted. He smelled the danger before, and it became even clearer now, only this time, the fear was replaced with an inappropriate, down-right filthy, and animalistic feeling. 
It had to be her fault he was feeling this way. She was cold, yet his body was on fire. Her heartbeat was faint, almost silent, yet it screamed in his ears. With anyone else, he would have already run, put on his Daredevil suit, and solved this the right way. But no, Matt Murdock couldn’t move a muscle that he wanted, only those he couldn’t control. 
“How much harder do you plan to try to get me to fuck you?” he heard himself breathe out.
He swallowed the grunt in the back of his throat. Her leg was completely between his now. The fabric of her dress shifted, sliding further up her thigh. 
She laughed quietly at his choice of words. “I think you got it all wrong, darling,” she said. “I don’t need anyone to fuck me.”
He huffed, “What do you take me for?”
She shrugged. Her finger switched from his arm to his chest, using her whole hand to feel the abs that were undoubtedly hiding underneath the tight dress shirt. His muscles hardened under her touch, the low temperature even clearer through the thin fabric. The hairs on his body stood up. He shivered, the heat in his veins multiplying with her wandering hands. One grabbed at his bicep, the other continued to explore his torso. 
Her lips tickled at his ear when she whispered to him, “Tell me if you want me to stop.”
The worst part was, he didn’t want her to. The gala was crowded, but he couldn’t have cared less. If people wanted to pry, they should. 
She ghosted over his belt. The fog that surrounded him thinned a little, the prospect shooting the first thrill of fear through him ever since she stepped into his personal space. 
Matt almost broke the glass in his hand, a groan passing his lips, as two of her fingers shamelessly stroked over his hardening cock. His hips bucked into her touch before he flinched away, realizing how wrong this was. She was a stranger in the middle of an overcrowded room; she had no business touching him like that. 
He set his mind on telling her to stop, though instead, what came out was, “I’d like to get a name first,” he said. 
That still left the prospect of them going further open, if only he knew who she was. 
Her hand came back up, nail extended to scratch over the scruff on his jawline, following the poorly shaved hairs down to the distracting vein that kept pumping the blood through his body. Not once did her skin touch his, only her nail dug into his throat. He stopped breathing. 
“A lady doesn’t kiss and tell. Besides,” she purred, “when I am done with you, you won’t even be able to scream my name. So why bother with theatrics when sounds are already such powerful communicators?”
She looked down between them, his hot crotch close to hers. The blood on her fingertip trickles down into her palm. She considered wiping it on his pants, but that would have been quite a waste. 
“If the next time we see each other I get the same reaction, we are going to have so much fun together.” 
Matt slowly returned to his body. He tasted the copper in the air, his hand reaching up to trace the scratch right over his aorta. He felt the pulsating of his cock, the missing attention leaving him with nothing but blue balls. His heart punched against the inside of his ribcage. The sharp pain in his neck burned through his skin. He hissed, playing with the blood in between his fingers. It was hot and sticky, and the consistency was thin enough to let it travel down with gravity down his heated skin.
He was more focused on the clarity that came back to him than on the sound of the stranger’s heels distancing herself from the table. When he realized she had gone, it was already too late for him to act. Back in control of himself, the shame was greater than the arousal had been. 
The voice in his head chided him for being so foolish, for letting that happen to him. He was no smarter than before. The darkness she brought with her infected him and he had realized too late what it was doing to him and the other side of him, too, that had been sleeping soundly while waiting to be unleashed when it was time. 
He pushed down on the cut again, partly because he felt as if he deserved the torture, but also because that woman left her mark in more ways than one and that was something his mind still couldn’t wrap itself around. 
She sucked her index finger into her mouth, tongue swirling over the small drop of blood she had drawn. Her eyes rolled back into her head. 
Soon enough, she was no longer alone. “Everything okay, boss?” the man to her left asked.
She halted, pointing her finger at the distraught figure at the opposite end of the ballroom. “I want to know who he is,” she said. 
“Know as in-“ he didn’t voice his thoughts, though he made a grabbing motion at his neck. 
“No,” she shook her head, “I just want his name and… well, what else I want from him is none of your business.”
Her bright eyes turned a shade darker. 
“Nevertheless, I’m starving. I think we should abandon this establishment to go somewhere that best fits our needs, don’t you think so, Talon?”
He smirked knowingly. “The others have been asking the same thing,” he said.
“Then you better get them together. We only have a small window of time before what we’re doing arouses the suspicion of certain law enforcement agencies. Or, Lucifer forbid, the Avengers.” She scoffed, “Now that would just be embarrassing.”
Talon held the door open for her. However, she couldn’t possibly leave without throwing another longing glance in the direction of the object of her attraction. 
She licked over the sharp teeth that poked out of her mouth, tasting the remains of his blood all over them. The sensation was stronger, and much more detailed. It wasn’t just copper, it was sweet and heavy, almost like the whipped cream, sauce, and sprinkles on an ice cream sundae. It was the cherry on top, a dream to taste, an orgasm to her tastebuds, and fuel for her never-ending hunger. 
Watching his more-than-human form, she willed the fangs to shrink back to their usual size. There was no time for that, at least not yet, maybe not ever. She wasn’t sure what to do with him just yet. Until she knew how to proceed, he was nothing more than a handsome stranger she met at the bar. 
Matt had folded his cane and bent over the table slightly, trying to catch his breath and figure out what happened. The tissue he held against his throat displayed a small drop of blood that had seeped into it.
She stared at the crimson remains on her fingertip, her smirk only deepening and the darkness in her eyes taking over.
Talon crossed his arms. “Everything okay?” he questioned.
She was tired of being asked the same question over and over again.
“I’m splendid,” she said. “I just realized that I’m not quite ready to leave New York just yet, nor am I satisfied.”
She could have sworn he turned back to her when the big, golden doors started to close around her. He tilted his head, she joined him. 
“Not until I get what I want, at least.”
And what she wanted would no longer be there in a century or two – he would be gone and she would return to a changed city with nothing to go back on. 
That was her curse, after all. The people she cared about slipped through her fingers the same way that the sand slipped through her lifetime's hourglass. But in her case, there was no top or bottom, the clock just kept on ticking and the sand kept on falling. 
Even when everyone else was long gone, she would remain as a stranger on a reformed planet and be forced to look upon the ashes of the life she once led. 
The lives she had lived were somewhere in the hundreds, but only a handful of those had been filled with people she adored, and every time it happened, she had to watch them pass as the sand of passing time swallowed them whole.
Humanity’s hourglass was limited to a minimum and maximum lifespan. She was stranded in a never-ending quicksand. Humans knew that once their clock ran out, their time was over and they could finally rest.
She wished she could do that too. She wished she could stare into the hourglass and watch her time run out, to know she could rest after an eternity of running from everything and everyone. Instead, though, she had to watch as life took everyone she ever cared about, and with every new decade or century or millennia, the cycle would repeat itself the same way it had from the beginning. 
She must have been an awful person in her past life because if God were as merciful as every believer on the planet claimed he was, he wouldn’t have sent her down the spiral in the first place. 
There was a reason people worshipped the devil; he would have thought of many ways to torture a sinner, but cursing them with eternal life he wouldn’t have as he had been condemned too, a long time ago, to be someone he never wanted to be. 
She became something she never wanted to be and never asked to become, and there was no one to blame but the almighty, all-merciful God in heaven and his hopelessly false righteousness, that steals more lives than it saves.

Our #1 Guilty Catholic Matt Murdock as a vampire please 🙏🏽
This ended up more angsty than anything. Sorry if that's not what you wanted! But I hope you still enjoy!
Tumblr media
To you, Matt Murdock was an enigma. A lawyer, vigilante, devout Catholic, and a vampire all rolled into one man. It didn't make sense and yet, he existed. Something you knew he struggled with often.
For every person he saved, he still had to feed. He lived in the city, after all. There weren't exactly many animals for him to feed on. He always made sure to take as little as he could to sustain himself and hypnotized all his victims so that they wouldn't remember a thing.
And then he met you. You weren't the first to learn of his secrets, but you were the first to fully accept him as he was. Both Daredevil and vampire. It meant more to him than he could ever voice. You also allowed him to feed from you so that he could cut down on feeding on random people.
And it worked. Most of the time. Until he got too into his head and felt like he was taking advantage of you. Then he would stubbornly refuse to feed not just from you but from anyone. It made him sluggish, irritable, and just all around miserable to be near.
He was currently in one of those slumps. It had been far too long since he'd fed and even though you had tried to coax him into feeding from you, he refused. He felt like a monster, always feeling as if he was taking from you in one way or another. It didn't matter how often you reassured him that he wasn't, that you loved him for all his flaws. He still felt you were better off without him.
It was your job to convince him otherwise. Which brought you to your current situation.
Matt was sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning his elbows on his knees with his head in his hands. You were standing across the room from him. The room was tense and silent after he'd uttered the words you hated hearing.
"A break? Come on, Matt. Don't do this. Not now. You're tired, you're hungry, and you're not thinking straight."
"Doesn't change anything. I think we need to take a break. I need to get my shit together."
"I won't deny that but you can do that without pushing me away." You crossed slowly to him, treating him like a wounded animal. You neared him and reached out, giving him plenty of time to pull away. He didn't so you carefully cupped his cheeks and tilted his head up. Red eyes flashed back at you as Matt's gaze settled around your mouth. He frowned as you gently rubbed your thumb back and forth across his cheek.
"You deserve so much better than this, sweetheart."
"Maybe," you whispered. "Or maybe I deserve the chance to choose."
Matt's eyes closed and he sighed, finally leaning into your touch.
"You choose me?" Matt's voice was tiny and full of barely contained hope.
"I choose you. Every time."
Matt surged upward and kissed you fully on the mouth, his tongue slipping in easily. You could feel his barely contained hunger and you let him take complete control.
"Sweetheart, I need-"
"I know, Matt. Take what you need."
And as his fangs sunk into your neck, you promised him an eternity of your love.

MidnightsWithDearKatyTSPB's Recommendation List: March
Welcome to March’s recommendation. Down below is the link to February’s part 2 featuring Peaky Blinders, Bucky Barnes, and more. March is a very busy month for me, I’m traveling all over to see specialists, so there may be more stories than usual, or there could be fewer. If you are interested in having your writing challenges featured here, or your stories, or even just your blog, please feel free to tag me in your works, message me, or use the hashtag MidnightWithDearKatyTSPB. I hope you are enjoying the new theme on the blog for March, as St. Patrick’s day holds a special day in my heart. My folks got married on that day in an intimate ceremony and again in July in a bigger ceremony many years ago, before many of your parents got together.

Masterlist
Tumblr media
It started with a blind date. 
Which, given the fact that your date was indeed blind, should have been weird but when he smiled at you, you found yourself charmed by him. 
His name was Matthew Murdock, he was a lawyer with his own firm and your friend Kimberly who was friends with the girlfriend of his partner had set you up. 
“Honestly he seems like a lottery win to me. I don’t know why he’s still single,” she had said and after spending two hours over dinner with him you were asking yourself the same question. 
He not only was intelligent and compassionate, no he was also one of the most handsome men you had ever laid your eyes on. The dark suit he was wearing seemed to be sewn onto him with how it was fitting him perfectly. The first three buttons of his dark grey shirt unbuttoned giving you a peek of his chest hair. He wasn’t freshly shaven, at least a week's worth of stubble on his cheeks, making you wonder how it would feel rubbing over your skin. 
His eyes were hidden behind round dark red glasses, making you wonder what colour they had. You had a feeling they were brown, matching his dark hair that was unkempt in a way too sexy way. 
He seemed perfect. 
Almost too perfect and you couldn’t put your finger on what was throwing you off about him. 
“Are you still with me?” you heard him ask and you smiled, nodding your head. 
“Yeah sorry. Just… thinking.”
“About what?” he asked with a small smile. 
“About what it is that you’re hiding,” you said and his smile got wider. 
“What makes you think I’m hiding something?”
“The fact that you’re sitting with me here on a date we were both set up on. How are you still single? You seem like quite the catch.”
He grinned, his hand reaching for the glass of wine on the table and you noticed that he grabbed it without any issue. Not like you would expect a blind person to act. As if he saw it. 
“I’m no catch. I’m a workaholic who gets paid for his services in chickens and, I have to admit, a very delicious Lemon tart this week. But it’s worth it in the end.”
“But you fight for what you want. What you think is right.”
“In more ways than you’d think,” he said and you tilted your head to the side. His jaw flexed once and you frowned, taking a deep breath. 
You had a suspicion. 
A suspicion about what he was that you couldn’t test in a room full of people. 
His head snapped to his right, as if he had heard something. 
“Excuse me. I have to use the restroom,” he said, getting up from his chair. You watched him, taking his cane as he slowly made his way towards the restrooms. 
You waited for fifteen minutes before you called for the bill, rolling your eyes.
You paid, glancing at your wrist watch, deciding it was still early enough to take a walk around the neighbourhood. You checked if you had anything in your purse, finding your gun, filled with eight silver bullets securely waiting for you. 
You felt your phone vibrate with a new message, another address of a hospital. 
You sighed, shaking your head, before you got up and exited the restaurant. 
Unsuspecting of Matthew watching you from the roof of the neighbour building. 
Tumblr media
“This is what? The sixth one this month?” you asked the officer. 
“That’s why we called you. There are no fingerprints. Nothing on camera. And it’s always…” you interrupted him. 
“Have there been any new Vampire’s registered lately around here? I mean it’s all in and around hell’s kitchen. There must be…” you sucked your bottom lip in, looking around. 
“Nothing. There haven’t been any new vamps being registered in half a year or so.”
“That’s a bit suspicious, don’t you think?”
The officer shrugged, clearly waiting for you to dismiss him.
“Okay. Thank you Officer. I’ll take it from here,” you said, looking away from him. 
“Call the station if you need anyone to come by.”
“I won’t. I can take care of myself.”
Tumblr media
The hairs on your neck stood up, and instinctively you reached for the dagger strapped to your thigh. Turning around in one fluent motion you saw someone standing in the far back corner. 
“You’re new,” he said and you narrowed your eyes. 
“And you shouldn’t be here.”
Slowly he walked towards you while you still held the dagger up, ready to defend yourself. 
“They really called a vampire hunter?” he asked and finally stepped into the light. His suit fit him like a second skin. Red leather hugging his body. His eyes were covered behind a mask, the little horns on his head you had made fun of suddenly looking more intimidating than you thought. 
The devil of hell's kitchen was here. 
“They suspect a vampire has been stealing the blood supplies. So I guess calling me makes sense. Why are you here?” you still held the dagger up. 
“To keep my city safe,” he replied and you fought the urge to roll your eyes. 
His lips twitched into the whisper of a smirk and you huffed before you released a breath.
“Only A negative is missing,” you turned away from him, pulling the Dagger back. You heard his footsteps behind you.
“It was the same at the last five hospitals. I have been trying to follow whoever did this for some time now but they mask themselves. I always lose them.”
“Protection spell?” you asked.
“Maybe.”
“Or maybe you’re just not as good as you think,” you hummed. 
“Oh, I am. Don’t you worry your pretty head sweetheart,” he said but you were ignoring him, picking up a business card from the ground. 
“Look at that. Maybe that’s a clue?” you said, turning around. 
But he was gone.
“Men,” you huffed, rolling your eyes.
You looked at the business card, already dreading what you had to do to follow the lead. But it was good money.
“Oh fuck this,” you groaned to yourself before you turned around and left the room. 
Tumblr media
B-Juice was a popular, let’s call it restaurant chain across the country. 
Vampire’s weren’t cast out creatures like in the past decades. Some of the most famous people were vampires. And B-Juice was where they would get their blood. There was something for everyone. All human blood types. Some animal blood types. Artificial blood.
But you found yourself before the B-Juice lounge deluxe in Hell’s kitchen. 
Lounge because they had human donors the vampire’s could drink from directly. 
Lounge deluxe because same humans could also be paid to have sex with. 
You were wearing your most revealing dress, your hunter’s mark hidden behind at least three layers of concealer. You knew the owner and he had told you that he wanted to help.
The robberies were bad for his business after all. 
You made your way to the backdoor, waving at the bouncer who knew about you. You did not know if or what you would find here. 
But finding the card of this lounge at the crime scene seemed suspicious to you. 
You felt the bass hum in your chest as you made your way inside the lounge. Vampires and humans were sitting around. Some engaged in conversation, some were feeding. 
Vampires had always been fascinating to you. 
It’s why you chose to become a hunter. 
The stigma Vampire’s still had, was not something the majority of them deserved. But much like humans there were always some assholes.
You let your eyes wander through the room, before your eyes found his. Well… his glasses. He was looking straight at you and if you wouldn’t know that he was blind, you would think he was looking directly at you. 
You sighed and the left corner of his mouth twitched. 
“Fancy seeing you here, Murdock,” you said as you walked towards him. 
“Likewise. Hey I didn’t mean to just walk away but…”
“You had a date at a blood bank?” you asked and he flinched. 
“I deserve that. I was an ass. But No. Something else came up.”
“Okay. Be mysterious. Anyway, have fun,” you waved at him, shaking your head to yourself because he was fucking blind and couldn’t see it. But before you could leave, his hand shot out and wrapped around your wrist. You looked down at this hand around your wrist. 
“Don’t go into the deluxe lounge,” he said and it sounded like a warning.
“Why?” you asked. 
His head tilted. You took the time he took to answer to look at him. Really look at him. He was wearing different clothes than when you were at dinner. He looked on edge for some reason and these lips… 
“Because if you would let me, I’d like to drink from you.”
Tumblr media
These words shouldn’t sound so damn filthy coming from his lips. 
“I… Matt…”
“I know you want to. Your heartbeat… It's faster. Your body temperature went up there for a moment and you…” he took a deep breath.
“I can smell you, sweetheart,” he hummed and you gulped. 
You shook your head, closing your eyes to get you back to damn focus. 
“Fuck you and your weird vampire senses. I’m here for work.”
He pulled you closer, so his mouth was close to your ear. 
“The man you are searching for is sitting across from us, feeding. She’s an A negative. If I take care of him, will you let me take you home?” he asked. You blinked once, twice, before you pulled back and he released your wrist. Slowly you turned around, finding a young man almost inhaling from the woman sitting next to him, her wrist against his mouth. 
Turning back towards Matt you tilted your head in suspicion before you sat down next to him. 
“You’re the devil,” you said and he nodded. 
“And you just… told me? How do you know it’s him?”
“His scent was all over the hospital. I smelled him before. I think the woman he’s been feeding from is the witch who helps him.”
“Then we need to take both of them,” you said. 
Witchcraft wasn’t against the law either. Just using it for crime. 
“You are one hundred procent sure?” you asked him. He leaned in, his lips close to yours. 
“Absolutely,” he whispered and fuck you wanted to kiss him.
You took another deep breath.
“I need to make a call.”
“Of course,” he nodded and grinned. He took your hand, pressing a kiss to the back of it and you shuddered. His grin got wider.
“Will you let me take you home? After?”
You smirked, leaning down, your lips against his ear.
“I will let you take me wherever you want, Murdock. You got some making up to do.”
Tumblr media
Your back was pressed against the wall, Matt's arm holding you up as he kissed you. 
It had taken over two hours to get the suspect to the station. You had to make a statement, lying through your bones at the reason you suspected him.
Not that you needed it. When they searched his house they found douzen of empty blood bags and he confessed to dealing with them.
Matt had waited for you in front of the station. 
Said station you were currently pressed against with your way to revealing dress while Matt was slowly fucking into you.
Superhuman strength really came in handy.
“Fuck…” you whimpered, throwing your head back against the wall and Matt kissed down your neck. His teeth scratching over your skin, making you clench as he slowly pumped into you. 
“Shit… Sweetheart…”
“Faster. Fuck me faster. Wanna cum… Wanna…”
“You wanna cum?” he asked, moving faster. 
“I wanna cum before I get arrested for public…. Fucking….”
He huffed a laugh.
“Good thing you have a lawyer inside of you, huh?” he teased and you bit your lip as he hit something perfect inside of you.
“There it is…” he grinned. He sucked at your collarbone, his thrusts getting faster and harder.
“Bite me,” you whimpered. “Fucking bite me,” you whispered.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
“Don’t make me ask a third time. I know some really mean things for V… ahhh,” his hand came up to cover your mouth as his teeth bit into your neck.
Your eyes rolled back into the back of your head and you moaned loudly under his hand as the combination of him fucking you hard and drinking from you pulled you over the edge, thankful for him holding you up because no way in hell were you able to stay upright. 
He hummed against your skin before he parted from you, his lips bloodstained. He licked his lips.
“Like honey,” he groaned, his hand leaving your mouth to kiss you.
“Cum inside me,” you whined against his lips and only a mumbled fuck against your lips was the warning before you felt him twitch and release his cold seed inside of you. 
“Fuck me…” you said lowly, catching your breath.
He chuckled.
“I just did,” he said and you shook your head with a laugh.
“How about that offer of you taking me home, Murdock? Or does your alter ego have somewhere to be?” you asked and he grinned.
His arms around you tightened before he jumped and you squealed, holding on to him. 
“I am fucking naked Murdock. Not everyone is blind!” you jelled against his neck and he laughed. 
“No one is gonna see you,” he said when you were on a rooftop over the station.
“But they might hear you,” he hummed before he sank to his knees in front of you, grinning wickedly before he dove in.

Nothing — Matt Murdock
m! surgeon! reader — vamp! matt — 865 words — angst kinda — its not really where i wanted to go with the idea i had so i cut it short ! ill probably end up reposting a better version in the future
Tumblr media
A lot can happen in two minutes. The loss of a life. A tragedy. Fate sealed in such little time. It was something I've had to observe more times than I'd care to admit. The human body, although a pressurized machine, unpredictable. That's why they die. Blissfully unaware, unfeeling under my blade. Going in with hope. Leaving cold and lifeless. There was something beautiful about the way they surrendered control. The way they trusted me. Something so tragic about that trust not being enough.
To be human was to be flawed. To have a body that would give in so easily. Almost shameful. And yet we seemed to take pride in our fragility. We use it to feel appreciative. I suppose time becomes much more precious when it can be taken from you at any moment. The time that people cherished. The more of it they begged me for. None of that mattered to a heart set on stopping. A brain set on dying. Despite my precision. My patience. My stillness. It was hard to accept that. To be okay with the fact that nothing I did would ever be good enough to a dead person. That they were gone and the tools to save them were no longer enough. A story told a million times. A million stories ended in the same way.
I've stood over countless open bodies. My fingers have grazed against even the weakest of beating hearts, yet something about this one was different. I knew the heart. I knew very intricately the ways in which it functioned. Which is why I knew something was wrong with this one. There wasn't really a word to describe the way in which it beat against my hand. Manufactured, maybe. The rhythm erratic. There was an anxiety to it. Beating fast and slowing occasionally; like an anxious person trying to soothe themselves with deep breaths. It was this that made me stop what I was doing. "Dr. L/n?" I was too deep in thought to distinct who it was that called out to me.
"Something's wrong." I whispered. My eye seemed to latch onto the blue paper covering the man's body. As if my body caught something my mind didn't. "Everyone back away from the table." A panic was staring to set in. I couldn't explain the primal fear that started to seep into my veins, but something inside of me knew that this man open on the table was awake. He was awake and just sitting through his own mutilation. There was an array of arguments coming from everyone in the OR, but a stern 'now' shut them up. I walked towards him, removing anything and everything that blocked the access I had to his face and body. Gasps filled the room as everyone saw his open eyes. "Everybody out." I knew exactly what was going to unfold if they stayed in here for another moment.
I could feel their hesitance. The weight of my request. Everyone in the room knew how stupid I had to be to ask this of them. They all knew this wasn't a surgery for one single person. They all knew just as well as I did that the man on the table looked human but wasn't.
"I need you to trust me. And I need you all to get out." My desperation seemed to move everyone from the OR and into the gallery. I didn't care that they watched. I just needed them to be safe from what I thought this man might be. The air seemed to get heavier the moment I was alone. Each step towards him I felt closer to my death. I looked in his eyes, but they seemed to just barely miss me. There was no time to waste. His heart was collapsing on itself. I needed to save him, but he didn't seem to have the same idea. Everything seemed to blur together the moment it happened. In almost an instant I was being pinned to a wall, the sound of my tools clattering against the cold tile. His chest still split open, the sight of a beating heart. He was going to kill me. I knew that much.
"Only for a moment," He whispered, voice hoarse from the tube ripped from it just seconds ago. I could feel his breath ragged against my neck, and no amount of my strength was enough to escape him, despite his vulnerable state. There was nothing I could do. So I gave in. A hand guided my chin and all I felt was a searing pain boiling from the puncture in my neck. It deepened, spread like the feeling of alcohol to a wound. Reaching bone deep and infecting every inch of my body until pain consumed me. I could feel a scream rip from my throat and empty the air from my chest, but I couldn't hear it over the ringing that pierced my ears. I lost my spatial awareness. I couldn't sense anything but the torture my body was going through. As if my brain had been sent into a black vat of nothingness. Eventually that's all it turned into. Nothing.

Playlists
Should I make Playlists for some of the fic series I have made? I just listened to a song that reminded me of “Loki and His Follower” So I was wondering if that would be something anyone would be interested in. This may also get me out of a writers block for some of these! Feel free to send in music you think I might like as well!
Here are some Series that I have ideas for: Rebel (Father Matt Murdock x Reader x Father Figure Frank Castle)
Loki and His Follower (Loki Laufeyson x Reader)
My Missing Piece (Peter Parker x Autistic Reader) A Helping Hand (Joel Miller x Pregnant Reader)
The Undead Kind of Love (Vampire Bucky x Reader)

(It’s Charlie as a vampire, a girl can’t just ignore that!)

Total Eclipse Of The Heart | Matt Murdock
Matt Murdock x Vampire!reader (f!reader)
Part 1 // Part 2 (currently here) // Part 3 (coming soon)
PART TWO - Humans are dying at the hands of her species and she has to do something about it, but how can she when the object of her attraction just so happens to stumble into her path over and over again, as if he's just as addicted to her as she is to him?
Warnings: 18+ MINORS DNI! Very explicit sexual language, dubious consent (inappropriate touching, dirty talk), blood, vampires, death, bad humor, plot, religious imagery (?), submissive Matt Murdock, Dom!Reader, DARK FANTASY (dead dove do not eat), really, this is absolutely filthy dark, AND not proof-read
A/n: This is so dark, holy shit… Here’s the second part! I hope you’re not mad at me that I left you waiting. 2023 already feels so weird I don’t know why, but I’ve finally finished this chapter and I’m getting to work on the third one as we speak. The smut is coming soon, I promise. Until then, I’m just going to get you all worked up :)
DARK CONTENT UNDER HERE, 18+ ONLY!
Tumblr media
Ever since the beginning of time, humans have felt threatened by their fellow species. The goal is self-preservation rather than preserving the world around them. At the same time though, there has never been another species so hell-bent on destroying their habitat than the human race. 
She watched the seasons come and go. Where one life ended, another started. Humans were fast to reproduce, she realized, but they were also just as fast to die. Sickness and injury are the biggest threats to the human body.  You could be okay one second, then on your deathbed the next. While the female body could withstand the terrible strain of childbirth, it stands no chance against cancer. You could bleed out in seconds if the right vein is nicked, and if you fall the wrong way, a broken neck will either kill you instantly or leave you dependent on machines for the rest of your life. 
While humans are considered the most sophisticated species since the beginning of time, they are all collectively fragile. 
The last time she was actively human, she didn’t even have a quarter of the knowledge at hand that she gained later in life. Times have changed since then. The world grew into something new, something modern, and the human race evolved with it. 
They’ve never had many nice words to say about her kind, so it came naturally to be terrified of a species that was more than willing to eradicate her own.
Sure, killing and blood-sucking isn’t something that goes over well with a crowd, but she often emphasized that they weren’t all cold-blooded murderers. Not all vampires were the same, and the lore often got it wrong.
Cold, they were, but only temperature-wise. Her half of the litter, anyway. And they were murderers too, else they wouldn’t have survived this long. Drinking blood to survive was a curse she wished upon no one. It naturally made her species reborn killers; they had to take a life to sustain their own, and since death and starvation weren’t in the cards without a stake through the heart, they had to follow their most primal instincts.
She tried to refrain from murder like a good citizen, and it worked, most of the time. There are other ways to get blood that doesn’t involve murdering an innocent. In Hell’s Kitchen, she could easily roll open a map and point to a random place, and she surely would have found criminals deserving of punishment.
But there were also humans who didn’t fear her species, those who were willing to give to the cause voluntarily. They liked to call themselves blood-submissive as if it were a sexual practice on its own – the sex was a nice byproduct, and some of those people were born to be whores, but making it a new trend was something she wished would never happen.
Though she was well aware of the subculture around humans fetishizing vampires, who were all more than ready to give their blood. Humans are so susceptible to overstimulation, especially through strange forces, even the smallest taste of a vampire’s blood could get them high enough up the precipice to push them into an orgasm.
That was the one thing that enticed her the most; the human anatomy, and how responsive they were to stimuli. She knew all about it, and yet she found herself surprised again and again whenever she lay with someone new. 
That evening though, she woke up with a heavy feeling in her stomach. One that wouldn’t go away. 
She entered the kitchen of her shared home to find a stranger sitting on one of the stools at the kitchen counter. Two very obvious holes adorned the young man’s neck. He didn’t look terrified when he saw her, only overly tired and perhaps a little drained. 
She sighed heavily, moving to get herself a drink from the fridge. Not that she had one already sitting there, but he wasn’t hers to take. He had already been labeled with two very sharp fangs that could only belong to one person.
“Eli, you left your dinner in the kitchen!” her voice bounced off the high walls, doing black flips until it finally made the human twitch. “No offense,” she said. “I’m just not a fan of waking up to blood banks sitting at my kitchen counter.”
He opened his mouth, but no words would come out.
She grinned. With her mug in hand, she returned to ask the boy, “Coffee?”
He declined.
“Well, you can’t say I haven’t tried to be hospitable with you.”
Just in time, Eli came around the corner wearing nothing but a pair of boxer briefs. She rolled her eyes. It was one of those guests. 
She met Eli somewhere around 1800 when she spent some time in the deserts of Egypt. He was only a couple of days old then, bitten by a passing vampire with no regard for human life. Eli was lucky to have survived, but with no one to teach him, he went rogue and slaughtered his entire village in a hungry haze. When he came to, the life he once knew had been destroyed beyond repair.
She saved him. Initially, she planned to just pass through, but the word about a vampire on the loose traveled fast, even back then, and so she found herself in Eli’s village soon after, convincing him to join her. She saved his life and therefore, he felt as if he owed her. They never left each other's side again.
Though sometimes, Eli was particularly hard to live with. He was almost like an unruly child, and he left his food lying out most of the time – he tended to forget that wasn’t the only hungry one in the household. 
“Would you stop calling every human I bring home a blood bank?” he said. 
“If you stop letting them stay for breakfast,” she retorted.  
He met her bitter smile with a sour one of his own. “Not everyone feels the need to submit to you as Talon does.”
“Maybe I should make that a rule then. I mean, I am the head of this coven, after all. The least you can do is give me some respect.” She eyed the young man still sitting at the counter, completely hypnotized by the shirtless man prancing around the kitchen. “And your blood whores, too, before you start giving them a sexually transmitted human disease. Or turn them into one of us.”
He scoffed. She patted his shoulder as she passed by him, taking the chance to whisper into his ear, “Would be a shame if I had to drive a stake through one of them when all they signed up for was just a little fun.”
She couldn’t help herself. On her way out, she passed by the helpless human, pulling his head back by the hair to reveal his deliciously long neck, and she dipped her nose to take him in. The blood running through his veins smelled beyond divine. Sweet temptation. She wanted to bury her teeth in his soft skin and suck until he was empty. “Ah, delicious,” she said. “Youngblood, untainted, pure. Excellent pick. I wonder if he tastes as good as he smells.” 
The tips of her sharp fangs scratched at his neck, and she had to force herself to pull away before she could make the mistake of taking Eli’s food off his plate. 
“Get him out of here,” she told him. “Before I make you bathe in holy water for the rest of the week.” 
He rolled his eyes. “Yes, ma’am.”
The respect issue was a problem she had to deal with. She wasn’t someone to play around, with except for the bedroom. She was nothing if not playful there, with someone writhing underneath her and begging for the mercy of pleasure, and they would always get what they wanted and deserved. She was considerate like that. But her lovers also never struggled to pay her respect. That seemed to be a family problem only. 
Perhaps she had to assert more dominance over them too, even if it was just for kicks. They would learn soon enough. It wasn’t exactly easy to be a leader, after all. That was common knowledge even amongst the undead.
The vibrations of the phone in her pocket caused her to look up. She checked the text – a piece of technology she was quite fond of, the cell phone – and if she hadn’t been pale enough already, she surely would have turned white as a sheet right about now. 
“What happened?” she asked as she entered the main room. 
Talon nodded his head. “I just got word from my source at the police station,” he told her.
“And?”
“There’s been several suspicious murders in Hell’s Kitchen in the past week.”
“If I wanted a broken record player, I would have gone into the attic. Spit your words out now, Talon, or I will cut out your tongue.”
He flinched, remaining in his position with his head bowed downward. He couldn’t look into her almost blacked-out eyes and be met with disappointment. 
“The victims have been drained of most of their blood, but the injection sites are sloppy, so a lot of the blood got wasted and spilled around the corpses,” he said.
“That’s… graphic.” She rolled her eyes. Chaos only compelled distraction. “But not at all the details I need,” she said.
“Yes, I was just getting to the important part. There’s security footage that shows a foreign party escaping from the site of the murder, and the same person is shown a couple of days later attacking the third victim in a blood-thirsty rage.”
The scenery sounded all too familiar. She tilted her head, intrigued by his report, and moved forward. “What exactly are they saying?”
“The police are blaming it on a new drug epidemic that has the users acting out to the point they would cause a blood bath. The drug supposedly triggers hallucinations that make them unaware of their surroundings and crave violence.”
“You mean blood. The drug is making them crave blood.”
“That’s what they’re thinking, but it’s not in the official report.”
“Yeah because that drug is called vampirism and that’s not exactly an epidemic that should be happening,” she said.
Talon nodded. “Police are issuing a warning,” he told her, “without knowing what they’re warning from. It’s just a couple of kids overdosing and bleeding out in the most ghastly of ways. They’re saying it’s drugs because they don’t understand.”
She grew more and more agitated with every word that slipped past his lips. The pedestal that kept her above the man made her seem much taller than she actually was. She paced the floor. It gave her a sense of superiority that she fought very hard to receive. Her status surpassed those of the people around her. She was older and wiser and perhaps slightly more sophisticated. Her moves were calculated yet often brutal because she learned that you get nothing in life if you’re not willing to spill a little blood, literally and figuratively. To have something or someone threaten her precious freedom like that was an obvious call for action
She halted her movements when he went quiet. “Do they have proof?” she questioned as if she expected him to tell her himself. 
“No,” Talon said. 
“Good. Call a meeting. I need to know who did this. And make sure no one knows beforehand. The last thing I need right now is a fucking vampire uproar.”
“What, you suspect it was one of us?” He had a doubting frown resting on his pale face. 
“While I have faith that you can keep your fangs in your jaw, I need to make sure I’m not misplacing that faith,” she stated. “If I’m wrong in my suspicions, that is good for you. If I’m right and one of you idiots is behind this, I will drive you to hell myself.”
“If you want to have my opinion…”
She smirked, “I really don’t.”
“But if I may?”
“You may not.” Stepping down from the pedestal, she eyed him. “Call the meeting,” she ordered. “In the meantime, I’m going to get myself a bottle of Scotch to drown my sorrows, and then I’m going to steal from the police.” 
Talon yelled after her, “Do you need any help, boss?”
“Yes. You can help yourself to stop crawling up my ass! That would help me a lot, actually. Don’t get me wrong,” she said, “I like my men submissive, but your behavior is just getting pathetic now. I’m your boss, not your mother. She’s dead. Deal with it.”
It wasn’t the first time she broke into the police station in Hell’s Kitchen. Crime rates exploded at night, which meant a higher police presence in the building, but at the same time, the cells overflowed with the many criminals they caught. They were always drowning in paperwork, and the crime never seemed to take an end. 
She waited until the commotion in the bullpen caused the officer at the front desk to jump from his seat and escalate the situation. She sped toward the file cabinet, retrieved what she needed, and disappeared just as fast as she had come. 
The officer looked up to find nothing but a strong breeze knocking the documents off his desk. He frowned, choosing to ignore it as the man underneath him writhed against the handcuffs.
Talon said a lot yet nothing at all. She eyed the pictures in the moonlight, the dead eyes staring straight into the security cameras, the man’s body covered in blood as he left a trail of bodies along the Hudson’s riverbed. He downplayed it. This was bad, a monster out of control, someone who shouldn’t even have existed in the first place and yet somehow came to life. There were clear rules. Those rules had been broken in more than one place, shattered on the ground, and then walked over with utmost disrespect. 
And he wasn’t the only one. Every murder was accompanied by one of the herds escaping, later appearing on the scene of another crime. To the untrained eye, it appeared as if these kids were high and just playing around. The blood around the bodies was significant, so the ordinary human might sort it as an overdose after all. An accident. Though none of the things she saw were accidental. 
They killed without a care, without remorse, and at the rate they were going, she was sure they wouldn’t stop anytime soon. 
It wasn’t the first time she had to run against the clock, but it had been a while since she was tossed into such a situation where she had to choose between peace and her most primal nature. She had to appeal to her common sense. She knew better than to let them continue this.
Humans aren’t stupid but often underestimated. At this rate, if they kept going, war seemed inevitable. 
These strangers were hunting on her turf and they turned everything upside down. She wasn’t having it. She had to do something. 
The wind came from the far east and blew through the streets. Many different smells lay in the air that night, but the most prominent hit her nose at the front step of the precinct. 
She tilted her head. She could sense him clearly now. He still smelled the same, his blood a bittersweet taste on her tongue, and she craved more. His heartbeat filled her ears, an elevated sound. She searched for him in the night until the sound of his scruffy, careful voice caught in her ears. 
He stood on the fire escape of the precinct’s second floor. The metal creaked. A door fell shut. He wasn’t alone. 
“Look, man, I’d be happy to help you, especially because we are way in over our heads with this case, but I told you,” the second voice said, “The file is gone.” 
She stared down at the brown folder in her hands. 
“What do you mean gone?” he asked, finally, and her eyes rolled back at the mere sound of him. 
He was everywhere, so goddamn overwhelming, all she wanted was to pull him off that fire escape, into the alley, and turn him into a helpless mess until he was begging her for mercy with tears in his eyes – she could only imagine the soft color behind the red glasses. Were they brown, green, or perhaps even blue? They surely would turn black with lust and then gloss over with exhaustion from the sheer overstimulation when she was done with him. Though she would only stop when the color of his eyes would disappear behind his eyelids as he slipped into a state of unconsciousness, the pleasure causing his mortal body to shut down and submit even more to the power she wielded. 
“Apparently, someone took it.”
“Since when do people steal files from a police station, Sergeant?” 
The man shrugged. “It’s not the first time,” he said. “Happens more often than you might think.”
“What now?” her nameless stranger asked. 
She could only imagine his mouth moving in sync with his gravelly voice, the movement of his Adam’s Apple in his throat as he swallowed, and the way his hands balled to fists at his sides, the beautiful veins protruding and his knuckles turning white. She wondered how those hands would feel somewhere other than a cane or a metal rod. How they would look tracing not the brim of glass but rather a different opening. Playing with wetness until his hands were coated in it the same way he played with the condensation on the glass of his drink. 
“Sergeant, if you want me to help you, I need more than a whim to go on. Do you have anything you could give me?”
“Look, I can’t help you,” the Sergeant said, “but if I did know something, I would suggest scouting out the docks. Ground zero seems to be close to the docks, but I’ve also got word that the rest of Manhattan might be involved too, so I’d be careful if I were you.” 
“Thank you.”
“Yeah, whatever. We have heightened police presence there since the first suspected overdose, consider that before you make any wrong moves.”
That stopped him. “Suspected?” he questioned.
He was a smart one. Her lip curled into a distant smirk.
“I’m not saying it’s not an overdose, I’m just saying they’re too suspicious to be instantly ruled as such. It’s my opinion, not the official statement, and everyone else here at the station and even the DA’s office agree with the drug epidemic explanation. But I’m not sure it’s right to assume that, not yet, not without evidence,” he said. “We judge people way too quickly these days.”
The stranger chuckled again, his voice darker than when she met him, but the darkness he displayed was something she thoroughly enjoyed. It was enticing, eliciting an excitement she hadn’t felt in quite a while.
“Are you talking about me?” he asked sheepishly, and she imagined him smirking. He seemed more confident in that alley, fully in his element, not at all as submissive as he had been around her. 
She wondered if there were two sides to that man whose name she still hadn’t figured out. 
The Sargeant scoffed, opening the door back into the precinct. Hot air met the cold one outside, causing the air to condensate. She could feel it even from a distance, the changes in temperature, the warmth that felt more wrong than it felt right. 
“Just be careful,” he told him. 
The fire escape squeaked and the sound of his boots disappearing into the distance had her frowning. Blind men don’t jump rooftops and they don’t do parkour. There was more to him than she first suspected. He wasn’t the innocent man he made himself out to be. He had dark secrets that went way below the surface. Her curiosity was spiked. She needed to see him again and she needed to have him now. 
She held the file in the air, watching as the edges started to crinkle and the fire spread from her fingertips, infecting the paper. The folder lit up, filling the night with yellow flames and the ashes of the several documents gone with the wind. 
When the paper fully dissolved, she closed her fist and the last remaining flame vanished. 
As the mysterious stranger made his way over the rooftops of the city, she turned in the opposite direction. Her first instinct was to follow, but there was no fun in chasing him just yet. She wanted to play some before she did that and wanted him to know more about her before she completely destroyed and corrupted him. His beautiful soul would only remain a faint memory. 
The doors into the old, abandoned church swung open. The benches were occupied with exactly five people, two of them Eli and Talon, and the rest of what she liked to call her family, but historians would have called them a coven. An assembled group of vampires qualified as such, as did more than one witch sharing the same ideologies and sharing the same living space. That’s what the two species have in common - they are both widely hated by all kinds of religions except for Satanity. 
Six vampires living in a church sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but the place had been abandoned years ago and there was no official owner, so it was run-down and, most importantly, they didn’t require an invitation to enter. So they made their home there, choosing Hell’s Kitchen as their turf and claiming it as their territory. That had been years ago and the small chapel grew significantly to feel like home since then.
“Cold-blooded murder,” she recited as she walked down the aisle, “Blood baths, two injection sites on the neck, suspicious behavior making humans thirsty for blood, and the police declared it a fucking drug epidemic!” she said. “What century are we living in, people? Is this the seventeenth or the eighteenth? Have we traveled back in time so that these words can be used in the same sentence again, right here in New York? What bad dream am I having right now, because it surely can’t be real?”
She reached the pedestal, stepping up in front of the altar. 
“Seriously, what is happening?” she asked. 
They all stared at her with wide, confused eyes. Those weren’t the faces of people who were about to cause a supernatural war of the undead. They were pretty much caught off guard by her accusations and that gave her hope, considering she knew them pretty well by now to know their tells when they were lying. 
“Please tell me that it’s not one of you currently going on a rampage in Hell’s Kitchen, turning innocent teenagers into ruthless, blood-thirsty vampires, and breaking every rule that was set for us when it comes to hunting humans. Tell me none of you is going on a fucking murder spree!”
Her voice boomed off the high stone walls, almost cracking the colorful windows that adorned the church, pictures displaying passages of the bible and glowing bright red under the moonlight while others shone in blue and green. Though that night, red was truly prominent, and it fell right on her pale face, making everything appear dangerously dark about her. 
One of the younger men raised his hand. 
“William,” she called. 
He stood up, clearing his throat, his hands tangled together in front of his body. He was the shy one, the one she had to pick up because he was starving himself due to his fear of what he had become after he was brutally turned by a woman he thought he could trust. It had been a very dark time back then, early twentieth century, and vampires in the States were still on the loose without a care in the world. There were no rules, only bloodshed, and the covens had body counts higher than the entire population. 
“None of us is going on a murder spree,” he said. 
“Are you saying that just because I want to hear you say it or do you actually mean what you just said?” 
“I, um… you know what, I’m just gonna sit back down.” 
“Wise choice.” She nodded. “So, William’s not a killer. What about the rest of you? Anyone trying to start a rebellion?”
Eli shrugged. His answer was obvious, “It’s not me.”
“I figured. You let your dinner stay for breakfast, and you know, you prefer blood whores. Gives you a sense of superiority, which of course, is not how this works. But anyway…”
The group burst out in laughter and Eli glared at her from across the room. “Very mature,” he said. 
“I’m just giving you a taste of your own medicine,” she said. “Now, anyone else wanna share?”
Another hand rose in the air. “I’m honestly just knitting,” the woman said. As a demonstration, she lifted the half-finished scarf - they didn’t even wear scarves - and threw the ball of wool in the air. “I tried my hand at a very complicated cardigan, but that project failed, so I’m just going back to my roots.”
“Thank you, Helen, but I never doubted you, not even for a second. You’re a total sweetheart.”
“It also wasn’t me,” Talon spoke up. “But you already knew that.”
“Yes, because you are too stupid to cause such mayhem,” she stated plainly. “That leaves only one…” she let her eyes roam over the pews until she found who she was looking for. 
His head hung low. Was he… sleeping?
She rolled her eyes. “Oh, for fuck’s sake! Can someone please punch Adam in the face?”
Eli stabbed him with his finger. The man shot up, causing the bench to creak. “I’m awake!” he declared. 
“Thank you for gracing us with your presence,” she answered sourly. “Did you hear anything I just said?”
Adam looked around. All eyes were on him. He rubbed his very heavy eyes. “I zoned out after you said bloodbath.” At least his confession was honest. 
She sighed. She was living with a bunch of idiots. She shouldn’t have suspected them. They weren’t capable of the monstrosities that she saw in the police file. 
“Never mind,” she said in exasperation. “You’re all dismissed. Now please, fuck off. I need to be alone so I can fucking shoot myself.” 
She wondered how they even managed to make it this far without getting caught. 
“Talon.”
“Yes?” he replied.
“I need to get back out there. You’re in charge while I’m gone. Make sure that these idiots don’t kill themselves or each other.” 
“Are you sure that is such a good idea? Going out there, I mean? We don’t know what we’re dealing with,” he said. 
“No,” she stated after a slight moment of hesitation, “but I’m the only competent one in this house, so I have to step up.” 
Her version of stepping up was simple. Scout the docks, stake out if necessary, and confront anything she deemed suspicious enough to risk getting caught. She hoped to run into one of the young vampires, at least, so she could make them answer her – the young ones were never bright, always controlled by hunger and the new intensity of their emotions. The anger was the most brutal one. 
It’s like that even for humans – anger blinds, anger poisons, and anger can tear worlds apart and start new generations built on the same ideals. She witnessed anger and greed topple empires that had once been strong and flourished. There is no limit to what anger can make a person do. And vampires, like any other enhanced species, experience most emotions ten times deeper and worse than the ordinary human being. 
She felt that effect even after years of being trapped in the same body, in the same state she was left in back then, and especially as she stood on the roof of the warehouse by the docks, overseeing the Hudson and the city that laid on the other side of the shore. She learned how to control and live with her anger. She learned how to survive. Though there were moments when even the highest form of self-control failed and she was stranded with the blade of a hot knife stuck in her sternum, digging further to tear apart her cold, dead heart. 
The hunger was the worst part. It had the ability to cloud her mind completely and dictate her every behavior with the purpose to stave that hunger, which was a near-impossibility. There was no satisfying a hunger that had been there for centuries, that not even pints of blood could satisfy. In the years she lived, she learned how to live with it, but always going hungry was also no real way to live. It was awful, constant torture, and with every passing century, she grew more tired of the life she was forced to live. 
In the distance, the wood creaked. One of the boats on the harbor displayed movements in its belly. The light only faintly fell on the source of the noise. A figure emerged behind the barrels stocked on the pier, heading straight for the oblivious fisherman who seemed to have stayed around to have a celebratory beer after bringing home quite a large catch of fish. She could smell them across the docks, already tied in bags to take home, but the victor was still inhabiting his boat. Humans have always been particularly obsessed with the art of fishing; it had once been their largest source of food income and fish is still pretty high up on the list of shippable goods. Though there was nothing worse to her nose than the smell of several fish perched together in one place. The stench was astronomical. 
A young vampire was far more sensitive, though once hungry, there was nothing but blood on their minds and so none of them would run at the smallest hint of fish in the air, let alone the fear of getting caught. They didn’t have that kind of perception, not yet at least, because this particular behavior was taught. Primal nature dictated them to be monsters and without the proper training, the hunger would control them instead of them gaining control over the real monster – the insatiable thirst. Self-control is one of the hardest traits to gain, but it goes a long way, especially for creatures of the night who were born to be the opposite of compliant and self-aware. 
If you want to live amongst an emancipated species, you have to learn how to conform to their rules and compromise, if necessary. You have to be willing to change your true nature to fit in and become something more than what history made of you. All of it comes back down to self-control. Without self-control, there can be no rules and without rules, society is doomed to collapse. Rules are what make a society habitable. 
If there was one thing all young vampires had in common it was their lack of stealth. The young boy she had heard lurking behind the barrels across from the fisherman’s boat only checked the corner to his right, his eyes bright red as the moonlight fell on his blacked-out irises. 
She cocked her head to the side. Someone trying to preserve themselves would have gone about this much differently. He stopped tip-toeing when he caught her scent in the air, slowly turning in her direction, and the way he looked straight at her reminded her of a frightened deer or a child caught in the act of stealing something. He was stealing, it just wasn’t something so easily explained. What he was stealing and risking went beyond what the human mind was capable of comprehending, let alone the brain of a young vampire that had absolutely no rational thoughts left behind. 
He froze dead in his tracks and she sighed, almost like a condescending mother trying to teach her disobedient son a valuable lesson.
“I see what you’re doing,” she stated.
The boy licked his lips, revealing parts of his very sharp fangs. Another thing about the young ones – they didn’t know how to mask. One look at them and your first thought would be a vampire. Red eyes, protruding veins around the sockets, pale, clammy skin, and strength and speed they couldn’t control yet. Stealth was little to non existent, as was their sense of self-preservation and control. They were like unruly babies turning into toddlers overnight, the Devil on their shoulders whispering sweet sins into their ears and causing them to make the worst decisions. Right or wrong didn’t exist in their world. They knew what they wanted and they would try everything to get it, rules be damned. 
Even though they all started out like this, not many chose to stay that way anymore. Once you learn how to live by the rules, it’s not that hard, and she grew to love the routine. 
Without someone to teach them, young vampires could turn into everyone’s worst nightmare, and then everything she had worked so hard toward for centuries would have been for nothing. 
“Fair warning,” she said, “Don’t.” 
He bared his teeth. 
“Oh, I’m shaking in my boots. Not. What’s your name, kid?”
He looked no day over seventeen, at best. His mother was probably worried sick. Little did she know that her worst fear, her son dying, had come true but in a far worse sense than she could ever imagine. Who he was now had nothing to do with the boy he used to be. The young vampire staring back into her eyes dark and empty had nothing left inside of him but insatiable hunger. His soul was clouded by the demon inside of him and chances were that it would never fully recover from the monstrosities he committed and would still commit. 
She couldn’t stop him, she knew that. If she took him with her, whoever was responsible for the sudden spike in bloodless corpses would only create more of him, and take more teenagers from their parents until they got what they wanted. She needed to know what that was so she could stop the war that was looming on the horizon. She couldn’t have an apocalypse, not when her life was going semi-normal for a change. She quite liked New York, she wasn’t done yet. 
“Who did this to you?” she asked again. 
“Leave,” he growled. 
“You see, I can’t do that. I want to, believe me, but I can’t. You’re too young, too inexperienced, so I’m trying to tell you this as easy as possible. What you’re doing right now is breaking all sorts of rules. You’re hunting on our turf,” she said. “My turf. My coven and I live here now. If you continue causing mayhem and destruction and turning innocent people into vampires, you’re breaking a truce that is far older than you, your parents, and great-great grandparents together. There is a set of rules for a reason…”
“You need to leave,” the boy repeated.
She ignored him. “This truce,” she continued, “was put in place over a century ago to assure that vampires and humans can live together in peace. Covens are not supposed to turn innocent people into vampires, let alone leave them without someone to teach them the ropes. A vampire out of control poses a danger to all species and if you continue what you’re doing, your actions will lead to war.” Her eyes narrowed. “Or perhaps that’s what you want. Is that it? Do you want us to be at war again?” 
He smirked. 
“You weren’t there the last time. It was ugly. That’s why there are rules, right?” She motioned as if explaining the way the world worked to a toddler. “To prevent such unnecessary bloodshed from happening again. To prevent us from killing each other,” she explained. “That’s what those rules are for, okay? Prevention, not causation. You’re supposed to stick to the rules to prevent a war that would destroy more than it would fix, and world domination doesn’t happen just because you say ‘fuck it!’ And shine a dangerous light on all vampires in the process. We’re not all alike. Every coven knows that,” she said. “Whoever made you is only using you to get ahead. In other words, you’re fucked and doomed to get slaughtered in the end. Either by your own kind, a war, or maybe even one of the very ancient vampire hunters that are only waiting for a chance to get back at us.”
Talking to him was futile. He didn’t follow a word she said and even if he had, he wouldn’t have understood. Young vampires were so stupid, naïve, useless and a nuisance. To think they all started out this way grossed her out, even though she made saving the lost causes of the world her life’s work. 
Her logic was twisted and more often than not illogical, but she was wise and considered herself above average in intelligence, simply because she had been around for quite a while. She saw empires rise and fall. She stared into the darkest pits of existence and still managed to come back from the abyss. Her life had been a series of doors in her face, which led to several life lessons being taught over the course of centuries. She was no angel, but she wasn’t stupid and she had one job: make sure the truce would remain intact. And she would do just that, even if she had to eliminate that young boy in order to do so.
He didn’t say anything for quite a while. “Get out of my way,” he growled. Of course, he would settle on something as dramatically pathetic as this catchphrase. “I’m starving and I won’t hesitate to hurt you if you keep me from my meal.” 
“Ouch,” she cocked an eyebrow, “You really bruise my ego, thinking you can get through me without getting hurt yourself. I’d suggest you think about your actions,” she said, “but I know that I’m practically talking to a wall right now, so thinking isn’t an option. You’re incapable of rational thought.”
Fear was the last thing that came to her mind when he showed off his teeth again.
“Listen, I just want to know who’s behind this. Who’s leading your coven, kid?”
“Fuck you!” he spat.
“Hey now, no need to get vulgar. I asked you a normal question. Who’s behind this and is there a chance I might get to have a conversation with the one in charge? Tell me and I will gladly point you in the direction of a different hunting ground,” she said. 
The boy nodded toward the boat. “I want that one. He’s mine. Don’t even try to stop me.”
“Yeah, but you can’t have him.”
“I’m going to have him.”
“No, you won’t.”
“Stop disagreeing with everything I’m saying!”
She shrugged. “Can’t help that you’re wrong all the time. I’ve never learned how to shut up. It’s genetic; centuries of untreated trauma are at fault here, and of course, your general wrongness plays a big part in my need to disagree with your embarrassing hypotheticals.”
“Go to hell!”
“Already did. You know, of course, pride always goes before the fall. Such a human trait to have; multiply it by a thousand, where does that leave you? Certainly not more sophisticated than me, someone with hundreds of years of experience. You need to be careful, young vampires like you are at an even higher risk to be discovered and murdered before you even get the chance to learn what you were given with this transition.” 
Finally, he launched at her. She sped away, gone in a matter of a second, and appeared a few feet behind him, heaving a heavy sigh. “You kids are all the same,” she declared, looking into his very distraught eyes. He couldn’t believe she had switched that fast. “Fast but reckless and extremely easy to trick.”
A moment later, he stood in her spot and she was gone again, crossing her arms behind her back.
“You done?” she asked. His attempts to attack her only made her laugh, “Oh, so terrifying.”
She had him right where she wanted him, so agitated that he spiraled out of control, no longer aware of where he was going or what he was doing. She watched him dance for a bit. By now, he surely must have realized he wasn’t going to win. But the pride was stronger and he kept going, trying to get to her in all kinds of ways, though never succeeding. 
“I feel bad for you. What would your mother say if she saw you like this?”
He stopped. His left eye twitched. She saw the wheels on his head turning and she thought, finally, I got him. 
What did she say? Pride goes before the fall.
She caught the billy club that soared through the air in their direction only a few inches from the boy’s face. Her lips pursed and she stared at the red object, feeling the heavy metal between her fingers and the small ripples in the material. 
When she turned her attention back to the target, the boy was gone. He had sped away, using the moment of distraction to run. She couldn’t sense him anywhere; he must have escaped the docks completely, not even staying close to the Hudson. He was on his way home. The fisherman was safe and she had diverted quite the disaster, but she still deemed the interruption rude, including the attempt to impale that poor boy with the billy club. She had thought about it, but she would have never gone through with it. Whoever the weapon belonged to had to have been close by. 
Her night just kept getting better and better. That was her assessment, at least, until she heard his heartbeat again. The scent of him brushed the hairs in her nose and she took a whiff, feeling his presence so close in the air, she stopped to let the sensation wash over her. The fire inside of her belly ignited once again, the excitement tickling her cold skin and leaving nothing but lust and hunger to rummage through her veins. 
Footsteps thudded against the asphalt, stones crunching under his weight. They were slightly wet from the previous rain, causing a slight slip. 
She lowered her hand with the billy club, turning to look over her shoulder at the supposed blind man in a suit. She had seen that get-up before in the papers when he first showed his masked face in Hell’s Kitchen. She never thought much of it since he had never posed a problem before. 
The tables had officially turned.
Her lips parted to chuckle. “This is awkward,” she said. In the distance, the waves of the Hudson crashed into the riverbanks. It was colder than usual with a breeze in her hair that caused the water to go wild. 
She fiddled with the red billy club, smirking, “Does this belong to you?” 
“Who are you?” his voice sounded significantly lower than the night she first met him at that godforsaken gala. 
To think she didn’t want to go in the first place; she would have never met him if she hadn’t let Talon convince her that she was supposed to show her face. A political move, he called it, to assert her dominance, which she did, but not in the areas that mattered. 
“What are you doing in my city?”
She pouted. “So many questions.”
“Who was that boy you were just talking to? Where did he go?”
“What happened to hello, how are you? What’s your name?” She retorted. “Take a girl out for a drink first, would you? Back then men used to still be gentlemen.”
His chuckle was rather dark, a sound that made her shiver and imagine what it would sound like to reduce him to whimpers instead. The man was a brat, no doubt, not easy to force into submission, but she had cracked worse nuts. Surrendering wasn’t her forte, but she could make it everyone else’s.
“I’m not here to play games,” he told her.
“But I am,” she said. 
“What do you want?”
“As far as I can recall, I made that pretty clear when we first met.”
“When we- I don’t know you,” he lied and she realized how bad he was at it for a lawyer. 
She licked her lips, the fangs threatening to come out. She was starving. “I quite like an oblivious man. Makes things so much more exciting.”
“Listen, I don’t have time for small talk. There have been several suspicious murders around this part of New York and you’re currently my only connection, so you better talk before I make you.” 
“Just out of curiosity,” she said, “what does making me entail?” 
“Oh, for fuck’s sake!”
He headed straight ahead, determined to grab her, and she watched with an amused crinkle in her eyes. The downward tilt of his lips was truly something to laugh over. 
She allowed him to push her against the wall behind them. His force was surprising – those arms didn’t just look scrumptious, they actually carried a lot of strength for a human. 
The stranger bared his teeth and she smirked, eyeing his focused expression. He tried to look intimidating but failed miserably. One of his hands braced against the cement beside her head and the other landed around her neck, a threatening motion to assert dominance. They were all so predictable and foolish enough to think that a woman like her couldn’t fight back.
Everywhere she went, she was underestimated. If only everyone knew her true nature, they wouldn’t be so reckless as to push her into corners over and over again. Or in this case, against cement walls on the docks in the middle of the night, right in the middle of her hunting ground with not another human soul close enough to hear him scream. And water is knowingly a great way to dispose of a dead body.
He squeezed tighter and she unclenched her jaw, wriggling out of his grasp in the process. “You’re a kinky bastard, aren’t you?” she asked. 
“Answer my question,” he bit back.
“If you answer mine first.”
“This isn’t a game. Lives are at stake here! Listen, I don’t know who you are or what you are,” he said, “but if I find out that you had anything to do with these innocent kids getting slaughtered or know something about this new drug everyone is talking about, I will find you and I will destroy you.”
“You know, if it weren’t for the way you smell, I wouldn’t have recognized you, all confident in your little devil’s costume,” she purred.
Her finger slid up the leather of his suit, brushing over his tensing abs hiding behind the protective gear and she sucked in a sharp breath at the illusion she received.
“All of this tension and I still don’t know your name.”
He caught her hand and pinned it over her head. She squealed. He was full of surprises, and it only turned her on more. She wanted to bite him, really bite him, and suck on his pulse until he was crying her name and praying for God to save him, but the pleasure would only drive him further to hell and God wouldn’t be coming. She wanted him to writhe under her touch, taste him and make him come undone over and over again and once he believed she was done with him, she would start her torture anew, right from the beginning, pushing him from the precipice just far enough so she could catch him, bring him back to the top and then do the same thing in repetition all over again.
He roamed her face aimlessly, as it seemed, but barely visible behind the mask. “How?” he growled.
“Wouldn’t you want to know?” She chuckled. “It’s unfortunate that we had to meet again like this, but…” In an instant, she had them flipped around, her arms pinning him to the wall instead of herself and her strength remained unmatched. He could struggle, it was of no use. She had the upper hand.
Her breath tickled his ear as she spoke, far too close for comfort, “You smell absolutely divine. It’d be a shame to waste all that sweet, sweet blood for a second time,” she said.
He couldn’t move. Sharp nails raked through his hair and over his scalp, tugging his head to the side until his throat was completely bare to her, naked, exposed. His aorta pulsated wildly under his skin. She could see it bulge with every beat of his heart. That strong, masculine heart, stronger than anything she had heard or felt before.
She tasted the sweat on his skin and the salt of threatening tears in the air. If he was turned on or scared, she wasn’t sure. The lines between fear, pain, and pleasure blurred. It was all the same to her, anyway. Getting close to her would most certainly draw everyone under her spell at some point, no matter the sex or gender, and all the heads would continue turning to her whenever her presence entered a room full of lively human beings. Only then her pheromones could work their wonders.
The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen struggled against her grasp but to no avail. He was powerless, just how she liked him, how she wanted and craved him.
She licked a long stripe over his pulse point. “I want to taste you so badly,” she whispered. “I want nothing more than to dig my teeth into your pretty little throat and suck you dry, and then I want to get on my knees and eat your cum so I can feel it mix with the essence of what your heart has to give, and then you’d be mine. I’d own you. You’d be completely at my mercy, you’d be bound to me and it would feel so fucking good. It would feel so fucking good for the both of us.”
Her fangs began to scratch the surface, enough to make him feel it but not nearly enough to break the skin. She tasted the salt of his sweat even clearer now, wondering how much deeper she had to go to finally reach the source of the sweetness that surrounded him.
“Don’t you want that?” Her hand joined the words slipping from her silver tongue and wrapping around him like a poisonous snake. “Don’t you want to let me corrupt you, to bite you, to eat you until all you can feel is the pure pleasure of having me all over you? My lips, my tongue, my teeth, my body on yours everywhere, all the fucking time… oh, that would be such an orgasmic sight, and the pleasure you’d be feeling, I can’t even describe it. You won’t know until you at least try and believe me, you should. Isn’t that something you want, darling? Doesn’t your body crave to be caressed and receive undivided attention from someone who knows how to make you feel good?”
He sounded small, fragile, and utterly broken when he next spoke, and she hadn’t even started yet. “What are you doing to me?” he asked. The heat of his breath mixed with the cold night air. “What are you?”
She chuckled. “The better question is, what am I not?” The tip of her tongue moved from his neck to his cheek until she reached the corner of his luscious lips. Her nose dug into his cheekbone. “Fuck,” she said. “The things I want to do to you are far from innocent.”
But so fucking good. 
Even with fear holding the reins to his body, he melted into her touch. He turned into a puddle of melted chocolate right at her feet. She could have asked anything of him, he would have done so just for the sake of pleasing her. But she wanted him to do it voluntarily not because the smell of her pheromones managed to drive any man into a state of co-dependency. 
She wanted him to want her for the sake of wanting her. Like this, she would only compel him to do things he would never choose to do out of his own free will, and while the thought of having him right there on the docks was exciting and had her cunt squeezing around thin air, already wet and wanting, the only treacherous thing about her that was entirely defenseless and could be forced into submission with just a simple flick of the tongue over plump, rosy lips. He had her on the cloud of dangerous euphoria in seconds, already stumbling on the edge and about ready to slip, lose herself, and lose control only to have him, finally, in all the ways she pleased and all the ways that would make him feel good. 
She could give him anything he had ever wanted, give him a time that not a single human could give him, and make him come undone inside and outside so many times, he would pass out from the pure pleasure. But he wouldn’t regret it. He would go out this as the winner, fucked out and blissful and perhaps a little addicted to the taste of her as well – she was sure she would be addicted to him as well. She almost already was, just from the scent of his blood and the way his body shivered at the slightest touch. He was so responsive, so human, yet stronger and more unique than anyone else could ever be. He was the one thing she wanted and she was ready to take it as soon as he wanted it, too. 
She was used to taking what she wanted however she wanted and screwing the consequences, quite literally, but not with him. With him, the need bubbling up deep inside of her belly was different. It wasn’t just a hunger for blood or a hunger for sex and pleasurable violence, he caused much more than that within her already conflicted soul, and as enticing as that was, the connection confused her. There was a reason she didn’t let anyone close, using sex as a mere pastime activity to get the edge off – she couldn’t toy with him because chances were she would reduce his survival chances to zero. 
Allowing a human like him close would only cause pain in the long run, and she’d been through enough of that for several lifetimes. And that wasn’t even an overstatement. 
Her lips brushed over his momentarily before she forced herself to pull away, widening the distance between them. 
The poor man slumped against the wall, his world rotating. He took it much better than most people, but the sweet taste of his fear in the air reminded her that he was just human, after all. A curious, enticing, and mysterious human, but a human being nonetheless.
Humans serve only one purpose for vampires like animals serve a purpose to humans – predators hunt their victims to feast, sustain themselves and survive. Humans are essentially animals and vampires used to be humans turned into hunters, predators, and dangerous perverts who craved blood to survive while at the same time using it for twisted, sexual purposes that had God locking the gates of heaven to anyone who even dared to fantasize about it. There is no ancestor ready to turn around in their grave because vampires were born from lust and hunger, and the first vampires had been carnal creatures as well, ready to go at it like animals without a single brain cell at their disposal.
Vampires weren’t like that anymore. Sex still played a huge role in their existence, but their main purpose was to fit in. They wanted a peaceful life. Taking everything they wanted was no longer possible, their chances were limited, but at least they didn’t have to fear imminent death anymore. Not ever since the truce was first established, anyway. 
If those young vampires continued killing and turning innocent children without mercy, and their coven even supported their decisions, the peace would have been short-lived. She could already see it swindling with every passing second, though fear was not something she wanted to concern herself with, not yet. Her life had more important things to offer before she rang the warning bells on all the vampires she knew, therefore causing a certain commotion that would send the gravestones rolling. Not yet, she decided, but if they kept going at this rate, certainly very soon. 
“Go,” she growled into the night. “Do yourself a favor and stay away from the Hudson until further notice. You can never know what blood-thirsty and murderous monsters might lurk in the dark around here,” she said. 
He didn’t move. 
“Did you hear what I said?”
“You don’t get to tell me what to do,” he said, his voice remaining steady. 
She frowned. “Are you serious?”
“Yeah, you don’t scare me. Manipulate me all you want, this isn’t the first time an otherwise scary woman fails to put me under her spell. But,” he smirked, “don’t take it personally. I’m sure you look pretty scary.”
“Oh, sweetheart,” she cooed, her eyes switching from their natural color to a glossy black. “You have no idea who you’re talking to, do you?”
The red nails adorning her fingers grew sharper and in size. If only he could have regained his eyesight, he surely would have changed his mind. Her skin turned even whiter, the bags under her eyes sinking deep into her skull, replaced instead by thick, purple veins that transported the venom from the core of her existence into them. She was chaos, an abomination, humanity’s biggest threat – not scary was a description she wouldn’t accept.
No matter how blind he was, he had to follow the natural order of things like everyone else. He was supposed to be afraid of her. If he couldn’t find it in himself to show her, all of her games would inevitably lose their fun factor. And her ego would suffer the most. 
Open an ancient book about demons and a picture like that might stare back at you. 
“It takes a lot more than dark magic to scare the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen,” he told her.
It was cute. Remarkable, really. She laughed at his attempt to make himself feel better, and partly because she was starting to grow upset with him.
“Somehow, being infuriated with you only makes you so much more attractive to me,” she said. 
“You still don’t scare me.”
“Enjoy it while it lasts.”
Five seconds. The heartbeat of the fisherman rang loudly in her ear. She was starving, her last meal far too long in the past. He wriggled in her grasp, crying, begging for her to let him go, to have mercy on him and, “Oh, God, your face- what happened to your face? Are those- are those fangs? Please, I have a family!” 
Her laugh reverberated in her chest. The man stiffened when she tore at his hair to position his head sideways, his neck in perfect reach for her mouth. She looked at the man in the suit before her, his jaw clenched, and he had his billy clubs at the ready. They weren't going to hurt her, he knew that. She would catch them with ease. He could only stand by and pretend he wasn’t scared even though he had never been more in sync with the feeling. They were a package deal when it came to her. 
“Don’t worry,” she told the poor fisherman, “You’ll see your family again, and you won’t even have to remember a thing.” 
Her mouth opened.
“Don’t,” Daredevil threatened – yes, it was a threat, not even a warning – from the other side of her, and she saw the conflict dance clearly over the revealed lower part of his face. “You don’t have to hurt him,” he said. “The man’s innocent.”
She shrugged. “I know.”
“He has a family.”
“I know. My ears are quite impeccable, can you believe that?”
“How about you think this through before you act? There’s a lot of ways you can go about spiting me, but pulling an innocent bystander into this is not fair. Come on, you said you wanted me, so take me.” 
As lucrative as that sounded, she had a different plan. 
She hummed, “No.”
“Why? Are you scared? Perhaps you’re not such a bad person after all. Is that it? You want me to be afraid of you, so you’re trying to hurt that man until I cave? Well, I won’t, but I’m offering myself to you instead of him, so don’t try so hard. Just take me. Take your shot.”
Oh, he sounded so amused – time to wipe that smirk off his beautiful face. 
“Ancient advice,” she ignored everything else he had said, “Don’t be a martyr,” she said and her lips rained down on the fisherman’s throat in a fiery passion. “History hates martyrs.”
“No, history only consists of martyrs.”
“The official version. The truth lies much deeper than your little human brain could ever explore.”
Daredevil was right about one thing; the man was innocent. No matter how she turned it, there was nothing wrong with him, so death would have been unnecessary punishment.
She wasn’t going to kill him just to spite the man she craved to actually have a taste of. She was just going to take a sip, still a quarter of her hunger and then move on, heal the man’s wounds and make him forget this ever happened. He would be disoriented, but he would be fine. 
Humans are the most susceptible to manipulation.
“Don’t be afraid,” she told the fisherman, “I’m just going to have a little taste of the forbidden fruit.”
Her teeth dug into his aorta and she sucked, tasting the blood that squirted into her mouth and all over her face in thick stripes. He tasted nothing like the feast standing right across from her, but it didn’t matter. Her mind shut off. The hunger moved to the forefront and at that moment, everything else stopped existing. It was just her and the life of this particular human in her hands, the taste of his blood exploding on her tongue and her stomach churning with the endless hunger that only got fueled with the small taste. She wanted more, needed it, but she knew better than to let the desperation overpower her. 
Passed out and short of a few pints of blood, the fisherman fell to the ground. She licked her lips. He was everywhere, even stuck on her clothes and traces of him had gotten tangled in her hair. He was a bleeder, that much was sure, and if she hadn’t licked over his neck to seal the wound, he surely would have bled out. 
Poor thing, but sentiment was useless in a case like this. He would make it. No use crying over a blood bag, she was taught. Humans lived to feed them. It was their purpose and she had no reason to feel bad for wanting to be full for a change, not go to bed hungry because she wouldn’t dare touch someone that wasn’t already in a plastic bag. She deserved this. 
And Daredevil cowered in fear at the sounds he was met with. Her night had turned from a total shit show into the sight of victory. 
She stepped forward and he flinched away, finally. “You wanted to know what I am. This is it!” she declared. “I’m the monster parents warn their children about and I’m the one thing every church fears because I happen to stand against everything religion stands for.”
“Dear God,” he breathed out.
“God can’t help me now,” she said. Her eyes moved to the sky, watching the stars disappear behind a thick cloud of smog and thousands of lights from the city center. “He stopped doing that the second I died. He’s dead to me now. He cannot be found. There is no God, there is only hunger and I’m probably the most merciful of them all, so I’d run if I were you. I’d run before another one of those demons God gave up on saving, jumps out of the dark and decides to suck the life from your pretty little body. I’d run,” she said, “because there is not a millisecond that goes by in which I do not want to tear your neck open and drink your blood while I also desperately want to suck your dick between my lips and do the same to those veins too, and the longer you stay the more my self-control starts to fade into the thin smoke that comes out of your mouth whenever you speak.”
He shivered and the color faded from his skin, blood pooling in his veins at twice the amount and the smell almost knocked her off her already hazy feet from the first course. 
More, her body screamed, but she held back. She learned how to hold back. No one had to die tonight.
“Run now or I’m cutting this short, and then Hell’s Kitchen will no longer have a Daredevil to protect them from the likes of me. They won’t even get the chance to mourn because it’d be impossible for me to drop your body in the Hudson after getting a taste of your blood.” 
He turned around, finally getting the hint to run. He jumped the wall up to the rooftop too gracefully for a blind man. She watched, her bloody lips moving into a smile. 
“Fear is healthy,” he heard her loud and clear. “Don’t let your pride cloud that healthy feeling from manifesting. And find me,” she said, “when you’re ready to talk without underestimating me.”
By the time she looked back up, Daredevil was gone with the wind, but his scent still lingered long after he had left and she would take it to bed with her where the most unholy of things would happen to the sound of a name she didn’t even know. 
She should have fucked him when she had the chance.

Tumblr media
Beware of the devil.
Beware.
Beware.
A voice keeps repeating these words in your head.
But you had already lost.
Now it was too late.
+++
You were lying there flat with your body weak, his red hooded figure staring at you as you were struggling to breathe. Minute by minute you felt the air getting thinner, your vision getting blurry, the open room suffocating you.
And then it was all fire. Your eyes and insides were burning, flames taking form deep within and everything felt fast and alarming.
"Come to me, my love. Pass on to me."
There is something soft about his voice now, trust, warmth, security, familiarity. It lures you in, it makes you ache for him. But why? You try to reach out to him but you can't.
"Just a few more steps. Cross to my world, my love."
Now you can feel your legs moving, hopping above clouds, as if you were a bunny in a field. It feels real. It can't be real. Something pushes you and you stop. You look behind and all you see is a metal gate closing. You turn your head and now you can see him. The red-clad hooded figure staring at you, a calm expression on his uncovered face, with his arm extended. He looked beautiful and sincere like the prince of your dreams.
"I am here, my love."
You take his hand in yours and he pulls you into his arms. Warmth. His warmth. You vaguely remember feeling cold a moment ago but his touch, his gloved hand caressing your cheek so tenderly fills you with love and hope.
"Kiss me." 
You plead out staring at him with doe eyes. Momentarily you can see a faint smile on his plump red lips before he is brushing his velvet lips against yours. One soft kiss followed by another until it was hard to separate yourself from him.
+++
You wake up. You were jolting your body awake to find yourself wearing a silk white gown, a golden ring on your right hand, and your body burning. There were bruises and bites all over your body and you ached so much. But the burning was stronger.
You get up, you go to the mirror, you try to look at your body, only you can't see yourself. This can't be happening. This isn't real. Panic overwhelms and you start screaming falling to your knees.
And then he shows up, wearing a velvet red suit, red-tinted glasses on his face. Brown medium-length messy hair. He looked absolutely beautiful. Like your prince from your dream. The man you always dreamt of.
"My love. My sweetest angel, welcome. You are finally home." 
He proclaims, sinking to his knees and moving your hands away from your face.
"It will take you some time to become familiar with things. But I promise I will always honor your name and your beauty and become your guide in this life. I will never leave your side."
You try to breathe, staring into his glasses. There is both warmth and coldness coming from him. You can't understand. Part of you wants to run, the other part wants to bury yourself in his chest and never let go.
"You don't have any other choice anymore. You are all mine now."
His hands move to your throat, caressing with the tip of his fingers on your marking. His bites. Where his teeth sunk and broke your skin. Fear overwhelms you. You think about running away again but he only digs his nails inside your wound, causing you a wave of delirium and pleasure.
"You are mine. "
He digs deeper into the wound.
"Forever."
You feel yourself getting weak, your vision growing blurry. It all blurs together until you have control no more.
The scene repeats itself, you wake up and he arrives. Eventually, you become familiar with him, the bruises on your thighs only getting stronger. And the hunger in the pit of your stomach grows higher day by day. He soothes you, he caresses and he always reminds you that you are his.
Until one night, he slices the palm of his hand and lets the blood drip down your mouth. And that's when you wake up. The memories all come back, piecing together a long forgotten complicated puzzle. You were his, eternally his. Death and rebirth are followed by resurrection and are always reunited.
And then that fateful night you take him, blood in the blood, scream over scream until your eyes become crimson red.
It was time for you to become what he feared and what he longed for. Everything he ever desired.
And that's how you became the devil yourself.

Matty, Vampire, "Lick it" :3
Tumblr media
Kneeling before your boyfriend in a posh bathroom at a too-fancy gala was not exactly how you thought your night was going to go but you certainly weren't complaining. You leaned forward and nuzzled at the sizeable bulge in his pants before pressing a feather light kiss over it. Matt groaned above you, red eyes flashing down at you. His fangs were elongated, something he showed off to you with no fear. You knew it meant you were doing a good job.
"Come on, sweetheart. Quit teasing and take care of me so I can return the favor. I know you want my head between those pretty legs." At the reminder, your cunt throbbed and you hastened your actions. You quickly unbuttoned and unzipped Matts pants, tugging them and his boxers down just enough to allow his cock to spring free. Your mouth watered at the sight of it and Matt groaned again.
"That's it. Go on. Lick it. Get it nice and wet so I can fuck you with it." He growled. Another sign you were doing good: the way he couldn't stop talking.
As you finally wrapped your lips around the head of his cock, he tossed his head back and whined. There was a ominous creak as the granite countertop he was clutching started to crack under the pressure he was putting on it.
You wasted no time and quickly began to work him over, using your hand for what couldn't fit in your mouth. The sounds coming from Matt's mouth were sinful and did nothing but spur you on. However, just as he was about to cum, he stopped you.
"Matt, what-"
"Didn't want to finish in your mouth, sweetheart. I want to cum in that pretty pussy of yours. So stand up and face the mirror. I'm gonna make you feel so good."
Standing, you quickly switched places with Matt. He easily pulled your dress up so he could have access to you. Kissing your neck, he lined himself up.
"Promise I'll eat you out later. For now, I just need to be inside you." With that, he sunk in. Both of you moaned as he bottomed out.
"Fuck, Matt..."
"Feel so good, sweetheart." He began to piston his hips, fucking you in earnest. He growled into your neck at the feeling of your tight cunt clenching around him.
"Won't last long, sweetheart. Need you to cum for me." He reached down and began rubbing tight circles on your clit causing you to cry out. Matt hissed and you felt his fangs scrape your skin. You tilted your head to give him better access.
"Are you sure?" Matt asked, his voice strained. No matter how many times he drank from you, he still always asked.
"Of course. Bite me, love." With a growl, Matt bit down. His fangs sank into the flesh of your neck. You felt a spark of pain followed by a rush of pleasure that had your orgasm slamming into you. You screamed Matt's name as you came. Matt continued to drink from you, prolonging your pleasure.
With a few more thrusts, Matt came with a shout of your name. He buried his head in your neck, lapping languidly at the wound he'd made. You shivered and felt Matt smirk.
"Oh, sweetheart. I hope you don't think I'm done with you yet. There's much more I want to do to you."
You were in for a long night.

YOMNA'S MASTERLIST ♡ ⋆。˚
Tumblr media
Note: I only write Fluff/Angst x fem!reader, and my works might contain violent/bloody themes due to the nature of the fictional characters/fictional works I write for.
I do not write smut.
Another important thing, a lot of these works are old ones so, figurative language, phrasing and my very style might be a little messed up—but it progresses. I am not a professional writer but I'm always trying to improve my writing, and it is more visible in my more recent works, hopefully.
ᐅ Last updated: 01/03/2024
tone nav. : F/fluff — A/angst — V/violence

my dad made me rewatch Dracula: Dead and Loving It (dir. Mel Brooks) for the billionth time and i forgot how funny it is ? like it’s stupid physical comedy, which is a weakness of mine, but i literally have the entire script of this movie memorized so i figured i’d put it to good use and use it as inspo for a vampire au series ? i’m never NOT in a matt murdock brainrot era so prepare for a mostly planned, barely written 10 part series i guess ?
