Who Are You, Anyway?
Nothing's made sense in my life since the vampires took over the city two years ago. The cosmetics store where I work now doesn't just sell Estée Lauder perfumes, but a blend of garlic steeped in holy water sold in fancy atomizers. Our lipsticks, glosses, blushes, everything is now made with dried and ground-up garlic. Fewer and fewer people come in every day because there are fewer and fewer people left alive in the city. Vampires are everywhere, forcing shops and businesses to close well before the sun sets and everyone to run for shelter. The only church in the town has been abandoned since the priest was turned. What a sick joke, really, but it had a direct purpose: no holy man, no holy water. There's not much of it left, and most of it's in our special perfumes, which are more like vampire Mace. I wear them too, and the garlic-based cosmetics. I never go out without a scarf on, no matter what the temperature. Still, there's only so much you can do and only so long you can hold out.
Actually, not long ago I was caught by a couple vampires who dress like punks. None of them bit me, though; they just held me in front of a cute boy vampire and started chanting something like "Kiss her." They wanted him to bite me, but he wouldn't. I still don't understand why, but I didn't stick around to ask. I got out of there when he bit the arm of the vamp holding him and started a riot. When I glanced back, I saw him fighting with the punk vampires. Why was he fighting with them when he's one of them? It doesn't make sense. Still, I just wanted to get out while I could. I ran for my life and didn't look back again. But I can't forget the look in that boy's eyes. It wasn't bloodlust, it was…sadness? Fear? He's different from the others, I know that much. He didn't want to hurt me. But why? He's a vampire…
Wait a minute, what's going on? There's cop cars everywhere. There's been a riot? Right in the middle of town? Oh no, it's those fancy vampires. They look ridiculous, but everyone's afraid of them the most of all. And they're leader is with them tonight. But what are the police doing? They're arresting some boys…I've seen them before! I've seen them fighting the vampires, destroying them when they can. And there…that's the vampire boy who wouldn't bite me that night, there in the back of a cop car. He looks so scared. What is he looking at? The cops…oh God, the cops are vampires too?! When did that happen?! What's going on? Why are they arresting that boy when he's one of them?
Boy…who are you, anyway?
