While I was struggling with the hangers, I overheard Maura express some disappointment at having to share Kay on the only night she had to spare. The...two of them had been friends since high school, but had entered into a relationship, albeit a long-distance one, only recently. Kay and I had talked about it numerous times, via e-mail, with me encouraging her. “Explore it!” I had said, “She’s your friend. Has been for a long time. If it’s not for you, she will understand.” Apparently, things had. "I shouldn't be too late," she added aloud. "Catch ya later!"Walking into Ben's dorm was an absolute trip. It was an all guy building, so the atmosphere was loud and festive. And of course her presence was immediately noticed as she made her way down the hallway. Guys gawked, leered, pawed, and whistled at her as she worked her way toward Ben's room. She had to admit it was satisfying in a twisted sort of way. She had never gotten that much attention from guys in her entire life, so on some. He talked her into moving out and renting a room from him, and she never returned to her home to live. She spent the next 3 days sleeping next to him and finally made arrangements to return to her home for some of her belongings and her pets. The more she slept next to him, the more she realized that he had gotten under her skin and she had fallen in love with him instantly, without having any intention of it, and without knowing how or why it happened. She knew that there was just something. “Who are you? How’d you get here so fast?” Megan asked, her mind now going a million miles an hour.“No need to panic my dear, you are safe,” the mystery figure assured her. “My name is Ruud Van Butroy. I’m a vampire, one as old as time itself and I exist only for one purpose.” “To drink blood,” Megan said.“No Ms. Fox. To stop the deadly Dracula, my immortal nemesis,” Ruud corrected. “For as long as he infects the world with his evil, I am here to clean it up.” “Why do you hate him?” Megan.
