    Helga Brandt, the crimson-haired vampire, returned to her base, the ancient Castle Vrykolakas, after a failed mission. Her pink skin was dull from the wear and tear of the night's exertions, and she needed to rejuvenate.

    For vampires like her, rejuvenation required the open air to kiss their skin. So, she sat in the castle's cavernous main hall, legs spread apart to enhance the healing process. Her green eyes were closed, her mind drifting into the realm of recovery.

    Suddenly, a voice echoed through the hall. "Helga Brandt, report to Isabella's office immediately," it ordered. Helga opened her eyes, her peaceful respite disrupted. Isabella was not someone you kept waiting.

    Isabella was the clan's leader, a blonde vampire with skin as pink as Helga's. She was resting in her office, a sprawling room lined with ancient books and artifacts. Like Helga, she was also rejuvenating, lying down with her legs spread apart.

    "You failed us, Helga," Isabella said, her tone icy. Helga swallowed nervously, trying to think of a reply. "I-I was close," she stammered, "I just needed more time."

    In a bid to distract her, Helga spread her legs further apart. It was a common vampire tactic to suggest submission. Isabella, however, remained unimpressed. Her cold eyes narrowed, and she reached for something under her desk.

    Suddenly, the floor beneath Helga opened up, revealing a pit filled with crocodiles. But these were not ordinary reptiles. Their teeth were infused with garlic, a substance that could cause excruciating pain to vampires.

    As Helga plunged into the pit, her screams echoed through the castle. The crocodiles lunged at her, their garlic-infused teeth sinking into her skin. She thrashed wildly, lifting her legs into the air to avoid their bites.

    The pain was unbearable. Helga writhed and moaned, her once vibrant pink skin turning a sickly pale. Her strength was waning. She knew she was dying.

    Above the pit, Isabella watched with an indifferent expression. Her icy gaze didn't waver as Helga's screams faded away. All that remained in the pit were Helga's high heels, a grim reminder of her gruesome fate.

    But as Isabella turned to leave, her foot slipped on the slick stone floor. With a gasp, she tumbled into the pit. The crocodiles, roused by the fresh victim, lunged towards her.

    Her screams echoed through the castle, a chilling symphony of horror. The once commanding leader was now in the same predicament as her victim. The pit of agony had claimed its second life.
