Vampiric Empire

With the sun setting over the horizon, the city of San Jose settles in for the night. A city full of entrepreneurs working their hardest, the city may sleep, but it never wastes a single waking moment. Right in the middle of downtown, a little hole in the wall bar is just starting up for the night. However, since its early in the week, business is slow, so there is only one bartender working tonight. 22 year old Jack Lopez is running the bar again. Being the youngest bartender at the Manhattan Bar, Jack was the only one that could make it at minute's notice.Jack didn’t mind though, he loves the extra hours and tips, plus he tends to get a lot of girls to flirt with him.

As the night drags on, Jack gets into the flow of things. There are not many customers, so when he is not serving or talking to customers, he takes inventory of the drinks and talks with the chef in the kitchen. Around 11 pm, after Jack took his lunch, a woman entered the bar. Something was different about her. Jack swore that as she closed to the bar, the people she passed got up and moved to tables further away from the bar. Yet, everything about her gives Jack a hard on. Definitely Latina, the girl walked with a seductive swagger, like she was a runway model. She looked like it, with a curvy ass and triple c breast. Her matte black sleeveless dress with knee length skirt was something out of Jack’s dreams. Lastly, she was wearing black thong sandals with matte black toenail polish. The gold anklet with black jeweled tassels was the cherry on top for Jack. He didn’t know how, but he was gonna take her home tonight. Little did he know, she planned on taking him home as well.

“Hello sweet thang,” Jack says to welcome the lovely lady. “What can I get you?”

“Hello,” the lady replied. “Can you two of your favorite drink?”

“Coming right up,” Jack replies starting on the drinks, making 2 irish car bombs. As Jack finishes the drinks he warns, “Hope you can get a ride home cause I like my drinks strong.”

“Oh, I think I will,” the lady said with a wink. As Jack turned his back to grab a replacement bottle of Jack, she starts her plan. She grabs one of the drinks to tamper with. As she hold her wrist over the drink, she looks around to make sure no one is looking her way. With her nail, she cuts her wrist right on the vein, very slightly. As a few drops into the drink, the lady retracts her arm and covers her wrist, seemingly healing her wound.

As Jack returns he asks the lady, “ I hope you don’t mind, but may I ask for your name?”

“My name is Amanda, what’s yours?” replied Amanda.

“Jack,” answered Jack. With that information in hand, Jack decides to play his hand and dig a bit deeper. He asks Amanda, “What brings you here tonight?”

With a twinkle in her eye, and a smirk on her face, she replies “I got a promotion in the morning, but lost my boyfriend in the afternoon,” Amanda stated. She continued, “I decided to scout the local bars to find someone to celebrate with.”

“Is that so?” Jack asks with a smirk, definitely liking his odds.

With a seductive tone, Amanda continues, “Yes it is. In fact, if I had my way, we would celebrate all night. Every night.” Amanda emphasized that last part with a wink.

Not knowing how to continue, Jack decides to get an answer. “ Why did you get two of the same drinks at once?”

“I was hoping to share it with someone,” Amanda answers. “Will you be the one to celebrate with me tonight?” Jack's heart skips a beat. He didn't think he would get this lucky this fast. As Amanda finish speaking, she passes the blood-laced drink to Jack. Not knowing what Amanda did to the drink, Jack grabs the drink. As they cheer together and drink, Amanda's blood starts to take effect on Jack.

What Jack doesn't know about Amanda is that she is actually a vampire. She is around 300 years old and is looking for her next boytoy/plaything. However, she's bored of airhead partners and hopes to get someone that can run a business. Once she saw Jack, she knew he would be the one she was looking for.

Once Jack started drinking the Irish car bomb, he just couldn't stop. Amanda's blood started to take effect on Jack, getting addicted to the drink. As he put his empty cup down, he looked into the distance, in a trance. Amanda looks at him in glee, its working. Suddenly, Jack shakes his face, snapping out of his trance.

“Sorry about that,” Jack apologized. “Forgot how strong those were.”

“Don't worry about it. Is there anyway I can order some food?” Amanda replies.

Amanda decides to order a burger and fries. As Jack heads to the kitchen, Amanda turns to face the other patrons and make them leave. All together, the patrons get up and head out, one member of each group head to the bar to close their tabs. As Jack comes back with Amanda's food, he takes a minute to close all the tabs. Amanda gladly waits, knowing that Jack would fall deeper into her control. After Jack finished with the last customers, Amanda decided to lock Jack in as her concubine.

Once the last customer leaves, Amanda looks Jack in the eye. With a seductive tone, she whispers, “I'm going to powder my nose. You are than free to join me. Make sure to lock up first though.” Normally Jack wouldn't head into the woman's bathroom, but something told him to listen. He heads to the door and turns of all of the neon signs and locks up. As he heads to the bathroom, the chef Jennifer is cleaning up. Not giving her a second thought, Jack enters the woman's bathroom.
