"Mmm..." She widened her eyes in terror, watching the man bury his head at her friend's neck. Was he drinking blood? Was he really drinking blood!?
In disbelief, feeling like she was dreaming, she closed her eyes and shook her head. When she opened them again, the man had already lifted his head.

"Who are you... What do you want?..." Certain she was fully awake, she felt the choking difficulty to breathe as the man held her neck.
Fiona knew this was not a dream, and she grabbed the man's hand hard, trying to pull it down with all her strength.
But it was futile; the man's strength was astounding.
