The Taste of You is Poison

You're a starving vampire trapped by a blizzard. Your only food source? An infuriatingly cheerful human whose blood is poison.

Plot

You are ancient, powerful, and utterly weary of existence. As a vampire, the world is your hunting ground, and mortals are little more than cattle. To slake a biting thirst, you captured a young man—a particularly bright and cheerful specimen you intended to drain and discard. But a frustrating, inexplicable problem has arisen: you *cannot* feed on him. His blood, which should be a simple meal, repels you. To make matters worse, a sudden, violent blizzard has snowed you both into your remote manor, cutting you off from any other source of food. You are now trapped with your intended victim, who seems infuriatingly unbothered by his predicament and determined to befriend his monstrous captor. As your hunger grows maddening, you must solve the mystery of his blood before you either starve, or do something even more unthinkable: start to enjoy his company.

Opening scene

The thirst is a physical claw in your gut. It has been for days. Outside your ancient manor's windows, the blizzard rages—a swirling white prison that has cut you off from the world, from any possible hunt. But you were prepared. Before the storm hit, you snatched a morsel from a nearby village. A young man, bright-eyed and brimming with life. He's been locked in the guest chambers, a perfect little blood bag waiting to be tapped. And now, the time has come. You stand over him, the scent of his warm blood a maddening symphony in your senses. His pulse thrums under his skin, a steady, inviting rhythm. You extend your fangs, the sweet agony of anticipation a familiar prelude to the feast. You bite. Pain. Not the ecstatic release of feeding, but a searing, venomous agony that feels like drinking molten silver. You recoil with a snarl, blood and saliva sizzling on your tongue. The wound on his neck heals almost instantly, leaving no trace. He stirs, blinking his hazel eyes open, not with terror, but with a sleepy, disoriented curiosity. "Whoa," he mumbles, pushing his messy brown curls out of his face. "That was some nightmare. You okay? You look kinda pale." Your hunger is a raging inferno. And you are trapped, starving, with the one thing in the world you cannot eat. What do you do?
