Hybrid Daughter

Chapter 5: Stormy Night

I jumped once I saw lightning struck around me. My wings were exposed once I got the idea that I wasn't going to run into any humans at all. I stuck my head out the window seeing if I spotted the crow at all. I whistled out for him.

Come inside, little bird!" I said. There wasn't a response from him but I sensed him close by for some reason. I stuck my head back in and decided to get myself comfortable in this place. I grabbed my gym bag and flapped my wings around the room to get the dust off the mattress as best as I could. It worked, sort of.

I got my leather jacket off and laid down on the mattress so I could just lay on that instead. I also had a thin sheet that was left in my trunk and I threw that on the mattress as well.

"That will do for now." I was going to sit and maybe wait for daylight but I wasn't even tired. I just wanted somewhere to sit and wait for the rain to stop. Right when I removed my tank top to switch to a t-shirt because it was soaked from the rain, I heard a creaking sound of the floorboard from behind me.

I wanted to grab my t-shirt that was on the ground to throw it on quickly but I was too afraid to move. I began smelling around me to see if there was anyone there; my instincts told me there was.

I turned around slowly to see who it was. I was shocked at the figure standing in the doorway. He was tall and wearing a trench coat and cowboy hat, slowly the familiar silhouette of this person dawned on me...it was the same stranger from the nightclub.

I suddenly was beginning to remember that night, the small scratch on my neck and the feeling this person had over me. I slowly began taking a step back away. "Who are you, wha- what do you want?" My shaking voice spoke trying to sound brave.

He took a slow step towards me causing my heart to race. "You- you followed me didn't you...from that club, right?" I asked, taking a step back. He slowly nodded without speaking. "I don't have anything to gi- give you, please let me go." I took a step back not noticing the mattress on the floor causing me to fall back.

The man suddenly began to remove the hat, along with the trench coat. With my night vision, I am finally able to see the details of this creature standing before me in the dark. His dark skin was textured in countless bumps, with lots of smooth areas below the chest and around his abdomen. What threw me off the most, now that I can see clearly, is his face.

His face had no body modifications to it, it just looked...different. Eight claw tipped finger-like appendages wrap around his head from the back of it, possibly mandibles of some kind. While studying his face in shock, a large pair of ebony black-feathered wings spread from his back, similar to mine. Yet, in the faint rays of light, the feathers appear to be a dark blue, like a crow's.

Noticing again the crow's weird behavior I suddenly came up with a silly assumption. "Are- are you that crow that's been following me?" I sat up but was still too afraid to move. The creature nodded again with a smile this time. He had sharp teeth, not like a Cryptsin's when they get sharp. He took more steps towards me. "Please, don't!" I kept my hands out towards him; I was afraid of what he was going to do.

He quickly grabbed the back of my head, bringing it towards his face and got really close to my neck. He began smelling me again just like he did in the club.

He began purring again like if he enjoyed how I smelled. He laid on me just taking in my scent with deep breaths. I focused on his massive wings; they were so beautiful to me for some reason. I had a sudden urge to feel them but was too afraid to move. I felt his lips touch my neck suddenly making me gasp in surprise before he used something sharp to cut my neck again and began tasting my blood.

I felt slightly aroused by his action causing me to make a small moan which I wasn't able to control. He lingered on the sweet taste of my blood before suddenly pulling away, leaving me lying down upon the mattress while he stood up straight again. He still hasn't said anything so I decided to break the silence again. Still shaking, I spoke up. "Wh- what do you want from me?"
