A Taste for Blood by Nick Clausen

A Taste For Blood by Nick Clausen

She will take away your pain
Elliot wakes up in a strange hospital without any memory of how he got there. He's told about an accident in which he sustained a slight concussion, causing him to have temporarily lost his memory.
But then he finds an alarming message in his own handwriting, telling him not to trust the nurse. And there is something odd about her. Does she really need all those blood samples? Why does she lock the door when she leaves? And is it normal not to allow any visitors?
The truth turns out to be more horrible than Elliot could have ever imagined, as he realizes how great of a danger he's in, cut off from the outside world and dealing with paranormal forces of evil.

A Taste for Blood is a very short story and I feel so dumb for not knowing this, plus, it wasn't scary IMO. But it was free so I shouldn't complain. I like Vampires though.

It's about a boy who wakes up somewhere in a basement and doesn't remember how he got there and why or where he is.
He's being lied to by a couple of vampires who are feeding off his blood and telling him all kinds of stories like- he's in the hospital and was in an accident and has a concussion and that he needs to take a pink pill for the pain. Only this pill is a sleeping pill and the vampires probably wiped his memory while he was sleeping. IRDK because the author doesn't really go into detail about how he loses his memory. Anyway, the fraud doctor Pram and his nurse Sevi bandage his head to make it look like he's hooked up to an IV pole. Just a bunch of lies so they can get their fix *shrugs* Even though the boy doesn't remember what happened he figures it out and writes notes to himself so he'd remember what he learnt the day before. It almost seemed like groundhog day at first- the same thing happening on repeat.
Finally, he makes a plan involving some garlic he had stored in his bag. from when he went grocery shopping and was kidnapped (by a vampire,) but it turns out these vampires are highly susceptible and/or allergic to garlic so he was able to escape into the light of day.  THE END
