Blood Test by Kellerman, Jonathan

.to the door of the mobile home, he knocked once,

.three ‘times, then once again, and let himself in.

He stayed in there for half an hour, emerged

caytng an axe, laid it on the Corvette’s passenger

seat, and got behind the Wheel.

I waited ten minutes after he’d driven away before

walking to thedoor and imitating his knock.

When there was no response, I repeated it. The

door opened. I looked into wide-set eyes the color of

midnight.

“Back so soo–” The straight wide mouth froze

in surprise. She tried to slam the door shut. I put

my foot in and pressed. She pushed back. I got in

and. she edged away from me.

“You!” The girl was wild-eyed and beautiful.

Her flaming hair had been tied up and pinn. ed. A

few fine strands had come loose, haloing the long

supple neck. Two thin hoops pierced each ear. She

wore cut-offs and a white midriff Mouse. Her belly

was tan and flat, her legs smooth and miles-10ng,

tapering to bare feet, She’d painted her fingernails

and toenails hunter green.

-The trailer was partitioned into rooms. We were

in a cramped yellow kitchen that smelled of-mil-dew.

One of the shopping bags had already been

emptied. The other three sat ont.the counter. She

fumbled, in the dish drainer, came up with a plastic-handled

bread knife. ,

. f’Get out of here or I’ll cut you. I swear it!”

“Put it down, Nona,” I said softly. “I’m not here

to hurt you.”

“Bullshit! Just like the others-.” She held the

knife with beth hands. The serrated blade made a

wobbly arc. “Get out!”

“I know what was done to you. Hear me out.”

She went slack and looked puzzled. For a moment

I-thought I’d calmed her. I took a step closer.

Her young’ face contorted with hurt and rage.

She took a deep breath and lunged at me, knife

held high.

I stepped away from the thrust. She plunged the

blade where my thorax had been, sbbed air, and

pitched forward awkwardly, I caught her wrist,

squeezed and shook.

The knife fell, clicking oinst grubby linoleum.

She went for my eyes with long green nails, but I

got hold of both of her arms. She was delicately

built, the bones fragile under smooth soft skin, but

strengthened by anger. She kicked and coiled and

spat, managed to gouge my Cheek. On my bad side.

I felt a warm trail flow ticklishly down the Side of

-my face, then a ‘sharp sting.:Burgundy

dotted the floor.

I pinioned her arms to her sides. She went stiff,

Staring at me with the terror of a wounded animal.

Suddenly she darted her face forward. I jerked

back to avoid being bitten. Her tongue snaked out

and caught a droplet of blood on its tip. She ran it

over her lips, rouging them wetly. Forced a smile.

“I’ll drink you,” she said huskily, “Do anything

you want. If you leave afterwards.”

“That’s not what I’m after.”

“It would be if you knew. I can’ make you feel

things you’ve never imagined.” It was a line from a

low:budget skinflick, but she took it seriously, grinding

her pelvis against mine. She licked me once

more ad made a show of swallowing the blood.

“Stop’ it,” I said, arching away.

“Aw, c’mon.” She wriggled. “You’re a hunk. Those

nice blue eyes and all of those thick dark curls. I

bet your cock is just as pretty, huh?”

“Enough, Nona.”

She pouted and kept rubbing against me. Her

skin was saturated with musky dimestore cologne.

“Don’t be angry, Blue Eyes. There’s nothing wrong

with being a big healthy guy with a big gnarly cock.

I can feel it now. Bight there. Oh yeah, it’s big. I’d

love. to play with it. Put it in my mouth. Swallow

you. Drink you.” She batted her lashes. “I’ll take off

my clothes and let you play with me while I do

yOU.”‘

She tried to lick me again. I freed one hand and

slapped her hard across the face.

She reeled backward, stunned, and looked at me

with littlgirl surprise.
