“Well, Mrs. Regina, my name is Alex. Please follow me this way,,” Alex said, leading them closer to the couches. As they got closer Regina let out an excited squeak and Jessica elbowed her. Quickly they shared a look and Regina composed herself. She needed to be the picture of sexy and unattainable.
“Transform back or we will be having to move you to solitary!” The guard snapped, his adams apple bobbing for dear life in his neck. He took his nightstick and railed it against the bars causing the two wolves to snarl and throw themselves at the bars. People scattered moving out of their way but Alex just sat there waiting patiently.
“That was not an invitation to go slower. I’m going to be late for work,” Alex said, with a groan. He let his head fall back onto the couch. Being a zombie meant a lot of maintenance time with his creator. And honestly, it wasn’t that enjoyable. Tyler was so lazy that half the time Alex was basically falling apart before she even considered changing out the body part that needed to be replaced.
Alex needed both hands to work and he needed a stomach to continue his lifestyle of eating and draining whatever the hell he desired. He had garnered a reputation at work for being the person who would try anything once and that usually put a lot of wear and tear on his organs.

“Thank you for volunteering to help tonight,” Valentine continued, his voice now smug. Alex could see the corner of Valentine’s lips turn up in a smirk for half a second. God he was so annoying.
Alex opened the door to his room. It was painted a bright shade of neon green with chrome tables, bookshelves, and black leather couches that seemed to shine. That was the normal part of the room. On the wall facing the door was another chrome shelf that didn’t house books, no it housed XXX of all shapes, sizes, textures and colors.

“Fuck,” Jessica spat, flopping back onto her bed. Maybe she just wasn’t meant to go to the club tonight with Regina. Maybe she should have picked up that extra shift like she originally wanted to, but no she let Regina talk her into a night of alcohol and dancing. College, though fun, had stolen all of her money leaving her with a degree that she wasn’t really using.
His dark green hair was cut short making the curls look wild even when they were styled correctly. But, the curls did make his deep brown eyes stand out. At least that’s what every person he XXX senseless said.

Regina slid up behind Jessica, hair brush in hand, and put her hair up in a high pony with a black satin hair tie. It wouldn’t be long before the satin lost control of Jessica’s hair and she had to take it down, but it was a sweet gesture so she left it.

“Take the elevator up to the roof and Valentine will entertain you there,” The vampire instructed, pressing the up button for the elevator. As the door opened up the scent of roses floated out. Inside the interior was done in rich mahogany, in-laid with shimmering mother of pearl accents. Upon entering, Jessica noticed that the control panel was brass, with art nouveau designs etched in with rubies. This elevator cost more than she would ever be worth, and instantly she felt out of place. Regina, on the other hand, seemed to brighten up when she saw how lavish the interior was.

Lounging on one of the couches was Valentine Onyx. Regina and Jessica had seen him hundreds of times on posters and TV, but in person he was truly alluring. Once he caught sight of Regina, he stood up, towering over his guest and crossed to her. He reached out with his long arm, wrapping it around Regina’s waist as he pulled her into his embrace. Regina’s body relaxed into his touch, she looked like she fit into his arms like she belonged there. He then led her to the couch he had just come from and sat down with her in his lap.
A blue book cover with sad eyes over looking a city. The book title is “The Great Gatsby” by F Scott-Fitzgerald.
The elevator dinged and the doors opened to the roof. This part of the roof was enclosed by dark glass panels designed to look like rose petals. There was music playing but it wasn’t the usual bump and grid kind of music you would hear at a club. No, this music was classical music that made you want to press your body close to a partner and waltz. Large, plush, sanguine couches decorated the space, their velvet surfaces beckoning with promises of whispered secrets, stolen kisses, and the loss of blood. Rich shadows danced across the space while small ornate tables held flickering candles and a mixture of drinks and snacks based on what the person sitting there was indulging in.

Alex met up with the other dungeon workers and went upstairs to the main floor and gathered on the mesmerizing expanse of polished obsidian. Standing at the front was Valentine. Valentine was a man made out of perfection, and Alex envied him. He was tall, and powerfully built with legs that seemed to go on forever. His long hair, as dark as a moonless night, cascaded down his back like a dark waterfall. It framed his sharp face perfectly causing his piercing blue eyes to jump out even more.

A photo with the following text “Suck in,” Regina, my roommate, cried. Together we pulled on the fabric watching as it stretched but didn’t go up an inch. We pulled harder and sure enough there was a resounding rip as the spanx met the end of their life. “Fuck,” I cried, flopping back onto my bed. Maybe I just wasn’t meant to go to the club tonight with Regina. Maybe I should have picked up that extra shift like I originally wanted to, but no I let Regina talk me into a night of alcohol and dancing. College, though fun, had stolen all of my money leaving me with a degree that I wasn’t really using.
