Just one drink

She made her way down from her room to the lobby of the hotel. Dressed in a floor length black dress with sedate diamond jewelry she was as ready as she'd ever be for this party. Although she wasn't much for social functions, especially ones that were dominated by vampires she figured this would be a good opportunity to promote her business. Surely there were vampires who were curious as to where had Felipe gotten all the blood donors, including the rare half blooded and fae ones.

The limo was waiting for her and sooner than she cared for she was at the Red Dragon. She made her way inside, ignoring the looks that most of the vampires were giving her. Chances were that they could all smell she was a wolf, and like all vampires they felt she was beneath them in every way. Well, her wallet and business said otherwise and she had a feeling that soon enough they would all be acting a lot more politely towards her. With that thought in mind she walked in. Already things were at full swing. People were drinking and mingling and waiting for Felipe to show to ignagurate the gaming floor. She made her way towards a large marble pillar near the bar and appeared to be casually waiting.

After a short while Felipe made his grand entrance. He was followed by a vampire that considering he flanked Felipe and looked every bit as arrogant as the king; was Victor Madden. Felipe began making his speech and for a moment the casino was silent. Soon however he opened up the gaming floor and the party really began. It wasn't long before she was being approached by several prominent vampires who had heard from Felipe himself that she was the one who provided the special delights that they were feeding from. They raved about her products and she found herself handing out her business card to many of them. She smiled and acted polite, ignoring a few requests for more "private" introductions and turned down several drinks bought by men.

As the night wore on she felt a bit uneasy. She hadn't seen Bill since the incident in the elevator and she seriously hoped that if he was here they'd remain civil in public. Her unease finally made her accept a drink. A nice looking waitress brought her a drink on the house and it seemed harmless enough. Besides, as a wolf she had an unusual high tolerance for alcohol so surely one drink wouldn't do her any harm. She took a sip and was surprised at the full flavor of the wine. It was nice and smooth and left a fruity aftertaste.

Victor had just gotten done "taking care" of Miss Stackhouse. His drugs were working wonders. The vampires were sufficiently distracted and he had nabbed one of the two women he wanted. As he returned to the gaming floor he grinned. Finally it seemed that Miss Griffen had decided to accept a drink. She seemed to be street smart and had ignored the advances of many vampires while mantaining a level of professionalism. However now she had begun drinking from the spiked glass he's prepped for her. As a wolf he had trippled the dose of the drug so soon enough she too would be under and he would finally dominate her, and perhaps show Mr Compton that he should keep a tighter leash on his lovers.

Kiara was just finishing her first glass of wine when she began to feel strange. The room seemed hazy and the sounds were muffled like she was underwater. She couldn't be drunk, it had been just one glass. When the waitress came with another glass she declined and headed down a more secluded hallway. Every step felt heavy and she clutched the wall for support. She reached into her purse for her phone, about to call the limo back so she could go back to her hotel.

Victor noticed Kiara walking off. His drug was taking effect and it seemed she was fighting it. He followed her down the hallway. She seemed to be trying to call someone while keeping herself upright. He grinned snd easily took her phone from her. "No Miss Griffen, we can't have you leaving just yet" he said as he crushed her phone in his hand. He wrapped an arm around her waist and lead her to the nearest elevator. She mumbled what sounded like protests but like a dog under a tranq she was powerless against him.

Kiara felt someone grab her phone. They said something but she could barely understand them. Her mind was so hazy that she barely registered that someone was walking her over somewhere. "no...I...gotta go..." she tried to say but whoever was holding her kept pushing her until she was in an elevator. Something brushed her neck.....was it fangs? who was touching her? a door opened and she was laying on something soft. The lights above hurt her eyes and she closed them. Someone laughed in the distance and she began to feel cold. A strange sound came to her ears, like something being ripped. The last thing she registered were a pair of hands on her chest and two sharp pins on her neck before it all went dark.
