Anna was known to her friends as the girl with anime eyes. It was a silly nickname they had given her years before because she had large, round eyes with deep blue pupils that were so warm and inviting that you would swear you could swim in them for days. Anna’s eyes attracted a lot of stares.
However, if anyone were to see her now, they would be forgiven for not recognizing her as the same girl. For one thing, her eyes were now cold as steel and had no color at all. Her hair was an unnatural shade of blonde, and it fell in waves around her shoulders. She had a scar running down her face from her right ear to her jaw, giving her a permanent sneer. The only part of Anna’s face that retained its beauty were her long eyelashes.
The only thing Anna had left was her body. She still had the same petite size and cute figure that she had as a girl, but there was nothing innocent about the way she moved. She had a cat-like grace that gave her a feline appearance.
Anna was a vampire, one of the strongest of all monsters. Her powers were so powerful that most monsters wouldn’t even think about tangling with her, let alone harm her. Her abilities were on par with an ancient, and she had lived for centuries.
As far as monsters went, vampires were rare, and Anna was even rarer. A vampire that had lived for centuries was unheard of, but Anna was special. Her powers came from her blood, and she could transfer that power to other people through sexual intercourse. She could then use this power to make them stronger and more powerful than she was. She had used this power on hundreds of men in her lifetime, and those who had the most sex with Anna had the strongest powers of all.
Anna was extremely intelligent and had an insatiable lust for sex, so she spent most of her time in the city searching for new victims. She had made it her life’s work to find powerful men and make them her slaves. However, while she could easily seduce men, she couldn’t fool the men into thinking she was anything but what she truly was. They would always know what she was, and they would never love her or respect her.
It didn’t bother her though. Anna was well aware that she wasn’t worthy of any kind of love, respect, or even friendship. She was only interested in the power and lust that she could get from men who knew what she really was.
Anna was currently in the dungeon of the castle of Baron Elric. This was the first dungeon she had ever been to. The baron owned a collection of women he had captured throughout history, and he used them for his own pleasure. He kept them all locked up in a massive dungeon beneath the castle, and he would come down here every night to have his way with them. The baron didn’t keep many men on his lands, so when one of his men did something that displeased him, he would have him sent to the dungeon. Anna had heard rumors that some of the men in this dungeon were being sent to the baron for their crimes.
Anna hadn’t come to the baron’s castle just to feed on any man that happened to be down here. She had come here with a mission, and she knew exactly what she needed to do to achieve it.
Anna looked down at the man she was kneeling over. His face was covered in blood and bruises from when she had hit him with a black whip she had found in the baron’s armory. The whip was made out of a thin material that seemed to absorb the impact when she struck it against a victim’s skin, and it had been designed for use on slaves. The whip was only one of the items the baron had on hand that was meant for torture. There were countless others, all of which Anna knew how to use perfectly. She had been trained by the baron for years, so she knew exactly what he wanted to do with every tool in his collection.
“Please forgive me…” The man begged. He looked up at Anna and tried to move his arms to cover his face, but he couldn’t reach them because Anna had them tied up with leather straps that had been fastened to the wall behind him.
“You’re not allowed to talk.” Anna said sternly. She was going through a new phase of her training with the baron, and she didn’t want him to give her orders unless it was absolutely necessary.
Anna walked over to a large wooden box in the corner of the room and opened it. Inside were several devices and tools that Anna had brought from her own dungeon. They were all made out of black steel, which was a special alloy that could easily cut through skin and bone. Anna liked using these tools because they were easy to carry around, and they were made from materials that couldn’t be found in most places. The baron would have been horrified to learn that Anna had smuggled these items out of his dungeons.
“You can start by using these.” Anna said, placing the items in the box on the floor.
“What are they?” The man asked. He sounded a lot more alert than he had just moments ago.
“I’ll show you.” Anna said, picking up one of the items from inside the box and placing it in front of the man’s face. “This is called a punch.” She picked up another tool and showed it to the man. “This one is called a hammer.” She picked up a third tool and held it up for the man to see. “And this one is called an anvil.” Anna placed each of the tools back into the box and closed it. “You will use these on me tonight.” Anna picked up the box and moved away from the man, leaving him alone in the middle of the room with nothing but a metal chair for furniture. “Now, get to work.”
The man picked up one of the tools and stared at it as if he were seeing it for the very first time. It looked like a spiked metal ball with a handle on it that curved upward at one end, but there was a spike sticking out of the end of it that looked like it would tear through skin like a hot knife through butter if it hit someone. He didn’t even need to read the label that Anna had written on the tool to know what it was called. He could tell just by looking at it that it was made specifically for torture, and it looked like it would be extremely painful.
“Do I get to choose which tool I use first?” The man asked. He already knew exactly which one he wanted to try first. He just wanted to know how much time he had before he started.
“Yes, you do.” Anna said coldly. “But remember, I can order you to do whatever I want, so if you don’t want me to do that, I’ll make you choose it anyway.”
“Very well then.” The man said. “Let’s start with this.” He reached out and picked up the hammer. The tool looked like it could easily smash a man’s skull open, but he held it like it was made out of plastic instead of metal.
“No, not like that.” Anna said quickly. She walked over to him and grabbed his hand. “You hold this like you’re holding a baseball bat.”
“Oh…” The man said nervously as Anna guided his hand over the tool and then placed it on top of it, making him hold it in his palm. She then took his hand off the tool and held it up in front of him again so he could see it.
“I’m going to hold your hand down like this.” Anna said as she held his hand down on top of the hammer, “and you’re going to strike me with this hammer.”
“Alright.” The man said as he prepared himself for the inevitable pain he was about to experience.
Anna then stepped away from him and stood next to the wall. The man picked up the hammer and brought it down on Anna’s bare foot with all of his might, but Anna barely flinched from the blow. The man hit her foot again and again, but she didn’t even flinch as he continued to strike her with the hammer.
Anna then brought her foot back up and hit the man in his armored head with a roundhouse kick that knocked him down to his knees and knocked him unconscious.
“No!” The baron screamed as he watched the man fall unconscious to the floor. “How could you do that? You said that he would know what I was capable of!”
“He did know, master.” Anna said coldly as she stood over the unconscious man and looked down at him. “He knew exactly what would happen.”
