Bitten [Chapter 1] ~Vampire Story~

--------

Recap: "You really don't know?" He asked and I shook my head. "Your a vampire" He told me.

My eyes widened and I felt like I was going to faint.

"I'M A WHAT?!" I screamed.

****

The guy quickly slapped his hand over my mouth again.

"Shut up. You know this is why I always hate the young vampires. You all bring too much attention to yourselves, you have no idea what your doing, you-"

I pushed his hand away and shook my head, "V-V-Vampire? Your wrong! Your lying... I can't be a vampire" I interrupted him.

He looked over at me, annoyed and grabbed my hand.

"What are you doing?!" I asked.

He placed my hand over my heart.

"Listen" He told me.

I stood there not knowing what he meant at first. I didn't hear anything. I didn't feel anything.

Wait a minute... where's my heart?

I couldn't feel it. It wasn't beating.

"Oh my god... I'm going to die!" I yelled at him in fear.

He rolled his eyes.

"Your already dead, stupid"

I shook my head again and tired to think about last night as he lifted my hand suddenly and stared at it.

How did I get in that coffin?

"What's this?" He asked, pointing to my tattoo.

"It's just a tattoo" I told him, pulling my hand away. "Why does everyone always ask me about it?" I mumbled to myself.

"Well, Look at you. It's obvious you climbed out of your grave a few minutes ago" He stated.

I looked down at my dirty black dress.

"Do you think a human could have gotten out of there? They would have suffocated half way out"

I can't be dead though... I'm... I'm moving! Hum... Me? A vampire? No... I have to tell Nick that I'm okay

I was about to walk towards to door again until I realized the guy was still standing there.

"What's with you? I have no idea who you are, but you think you know who I am" I asked him, walking over again.

"I've been around long enough to know who is who. I've been in this town longer than you"

"Oh, is that a fact? How old are you? You look barely twenty years old" I scoffed.

"Actually I'm three hundred and seventy five" He grinned.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "Just get out of my way" I ordered him.

He crossed his arms as well, looking at me for awhile.

"Go. It's better if those stupid humans cut down a few of us. If we make them all into vampires, who will we eat?" He asked, stepping aside.

"Hey, don't fit me into the whole vampire group. I'm NOT a vampire. My heart is just... broken. You, on the other hand, are crazy. Go to a doctor" I told him as I walked towards the door and opened it.

"You'll find out soon enough what you are" He told me, but I headed outside and ignored his comment.

A blast of wind hit me as I looked around. Nick and the others were gone already.

They said something about The Rabbit Hole... how can I get there with no car? Should I go back to my apartment?

I started to walk down the cemetery, but stopped and looked down at myself. There was still dirt all over me. I slowly kept walking and looked around.

Where to go?

****

The Rabbit hole was pretty loud for a Tuesday night. Nick, Jane, and Kenny walked into the crowded club and walked through to the bar.

"What can I-" The bartender started to say, until he saw Kenny. "Oh, Hey Kenny" He said, lowering his voice now.

Nick and Jane could hardly hear him over the music.

"Have you seen... certain customers around lately?" Kenny asked.

"Yeah, any with curly blonde hair?" Nick added.

The bartender looked around before he answered them.

"I spotted a girl walking in here a couple minutes ago. Dressed all in black. She was looking around at everyone weirdly" He told them.

"Was there anyone with her?" Jane asked.

The bartender thought for a few seconds and then nodded.

"A guy. With blonde hair. They seemed pretty close"

Nick looked over at Kenny in worry.

"Sounds like Jannis and that guy she was with when Rei and I were here..." Nick slowly remembered that night Jannis had tricked them.

Remembering hurt him. He missed Reila a lot.

"Do you know where they are now?" Jane asked him.

The bartender pointed over at one of the tables. They all looked over to see Jannis and the guy with blonde hair close together at the back.

"Thanks" Kenny said to him as they all started to walk towards them.

"So what are we doing exactly?" Nick asked.

"Well, we wanna know where Reila's body is. I say that Jannis freak took her" Kenny said and Nick stopped walking, shaking his head.

"That's just it. She's a freak. She almost killed me last time"

"Well three against two. How bad can we lose?" Kenny asked him.

Nick looked over at Jannis and the guy who were all over each other. He wasn't sure if Kenny knew what he was talking about. He wasn't sure if Kenny knew how deep she could sink her nails.

****

As I walked out of the cemetery and onto the sidewalk I felt completely annoyed. Not because I realized I wasn't wearing any shoes, but because I had no idea what happened the night before. When I tried to think about it, it was like I was having a huge hang over. Nothing made sense. I kept walking down the sidewalk as I tried to remember. I suddenly felt something weird. It felt like fear, but it wasn't my mine. I looked over in front of me to see a couple staring at me. They moved over a lot as they passed me and whispered something to each other. I watched them quickly walk off and my stomach growled.

That's strange. Am I hungry? How long was I in that coffin?

Suddenly I remembered something.

HENRY! Last night... I went to see Henry.. but what did he say? I should go see him

I crossed the street and walked towards his store. Ignoring the glances of people as they walked pass me I turned a corner and slowed down as I saw caution tape up a head. I quickly walked over to see it was all around Henry's store. The windows and doors were smashed, which was strangely familiar. No one seemed to be around as I lifted up the caution tape and walked under it. I stepped inside his trashed store and looked around. A flash of memory hit him.

I was running out of here... and... someone grabbed me..

I looked down at the spot I remembered landing.

Jannis.. she was really angry about something.. the holy water! And Henry... He...

My eyes widened as I remembered hearing his screams. Quickly I ran towards his office which was trashed as well. No one was there. The broken desk was still lying near the wall. I looked over at Henry's cabinet.

Before all this happened... Henry he... he was telling me about vampires... that book.. where's that book?

I looked down to see there were tons of books everywhere which didn't help at all. I got down and started looking through them.

What did it look like?! It was... brown... no... it was red...

I spotted a few red books near the broken desk and quickly crawled towards it. I looked down to see that bag Henry gave me full of all that weird stuff. One book that caught my eye had water of some sort all over it. I grabbed it and tried wiping off the water until I suddenly felt a burning feeling.

"OW!" I screamed, dropping the book.

Smoke rose from my hands as they felt like they were on fire. I felt extremely angry.

What the hell is that? ACID?!

I looked over at the empty bottle that was lying near the books.

Holy water...

I looked down at my hands and frowned. They were all red and still felt itchy.

Okay... just because holy water burns me.. doesn't mean I'm a vampire... RIGHT?!

Getting up, I spotted another book that caught my eye. It was black and a quick flash of memory hit me when Henry saw my tattoo.

He was mumbling something.. how he found something...

Slowly I knelt down, seeing there was no holy water on it, I picked it up and got up again. I leafed through it as I headed out of Henry's office. My head quickly snapped up as I heard a car door slam. I looked out the broken window to see a police car and a police officer walking over. He peered inside over at me.

"Miss, what are you doing here?" He asked and I froze.

****

"If were going to talk to her we better do it quick, she's leaving with that guy" Jane told Nick and Kenny as they continued to disagree about wether to go talk to her or not.

"Come on!" Kenny yelled at them, heading towards the back door where Jannis and the guy went out.

Nick let out a big sigh as Jane and him followed Kenny outside. Cold air surrounded them as they looked around outside.

"This isn't a good idea" Nick whispered to them as they spotted Jannis and the guy walking away from the club. "How would they even know where her body is?"

Kenny ignored him and began walking towards them.

"Jannis?" He called.

Jannis and the guy stopped and turned around. Nick stared at the blonde haired guy and suddenly remembered where he saw him.

"Y-Y-Your that d-dead body from a couple of d-days ago" Nick stuttered, pointing.

The blonde haired guy rolled his eyes and looked over at Jannis.

"Humans are so annoying" He told her and she nodded, looking back at them.

"Hows your back Nicky boy?" Jannis grinned.

"What did you do to her body?" Nick asked, filling with anger.

"Her body? Whose?" Jannis asked with confusion.

"Reila. Her body. Where did you put it?" Kenny asked, pushing Nick aside.

"Reila? That dead bitch? Nothing I-" She stopped talking, thinking for a minute. "Her body... it's not in her grave?"

"Playing dumb?" Jane asked angrily.

Jane pulled out a cross from her bag and held it up at Jannis.

"Just tells us where she is and we wont have to kill you" She threatened.

Jannis scoffed and looked over at the blonde haired guy.

"Are you hungry?" She asked him.

He grinned and nodded. They looked back at the three humans, but this time their faces had changed. They were ready to eat.

****

I winced as the cop shined a light in my face.

"W-What's wrong with your f-face?" He asked, suddenly sounding terrified.

My face? Well that's not very nice...

Slowly I lifted my fingers to my face. I could feel my face was weirdly bumpy.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY FACE?!

"Is that some kind of mask?" He asked as he walked towards me.

"Don't look at me! Go away!" I yelled, turning around quickly.

"Miss, are you okay? Why are you here?"

He kept walking towards me until he was behind me. He slowly put his hand on my shoulder.

"Don't touch me!" I yelled, grabbing his hand and accidently twisted it as I turned towards him.

"Ahh!" He screamed in pain.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" I told him as I pushed his hand away from me.

My eyes widened as I watched him fly into a book shelf.

What the hell!? How weak is this guy? I only meant to push him away a little!

My hand trembled as I watched the book case fall over. I gulped backing away and watched him lay there, passed out.

I'm... I'm a monster... I'm a vampire...
