Afterglow

Chapter one: pleads

She kept looking down at her card and back up ahead to make sure that she didn't trip over things again.

It was her first meeting with a doctor who wasn't her family doctor.

What if he did something wrong? Like give her the wrong medication? Her older Brother died

that way, but not on accident.

She shook her head, a usual attempt for trying to clear her mind. In return she felt even more

stopped up.

She finally came across a rather , worn building.

Thought she was sick, her intuition was definitely intact.

"Chin up. Don't get your self down Midoriko". She said in her mind. And with a deep

breath she stepped in.

None of the lights were on and the place was quite dusty.

The faint voice told her "Turn back. Turn back now." but another mysterious voice said "Hurry

hurry. Rush."

"Hello? Is anyone in here? Hello?" she called out.

Midoriko's voice echoed through the building.

A swift wind blew from behind her, a presence beckoning to her.

She wrapped her crimson knit scarf around her neck and ran for the exit.

She shook and shook the door only to find that it was locked.

A raspy gasp came and hand to the neck, and the ugly face of a vampire staring into her

robins egg colored eyes.

"What's a weak little terran doing here? don't you know? It is dangerous for someone as

beautiful as you to be out at this time of hour?" he said.

Midoriko scoffed and fought hard from his strong and dangerous grip.

His nails were sharp to the edge, meaning death if she made the wrong move.

"Monster! What the hell do you want with me?!" She hissed.

The vampire only gave a haughty laughter and a repulsive smirk.

He ran a sharp talon through her silkily, black mane. She tensed up and struggled once more,

only for her efforts putting her life in vain.

"Monster? Qui Moi? " he mused, Midoriko obviously not amused by his childish joke.

Her notions to escape had left her raggedly breathing, numb and heavy.

The vampire knew what his next move would be.

He pressed her back to the wall and crushed his fist into her small ribcage, pain erupting into

every single fiber of her being. He began attempts to rip off her clothing, but she clawed at his

face and spit in his eyes.

"Get away!" she yelled. By now her hand were almost coated with his blood he hit her a full

force blow to her face. New dark blue and purple blotches stained her once beautiful white

skin. Her scarf, long black dress and khaki colored jacket were to the point of obliterated. The

swell of her breast showed and her slender stomach was bare, adding to the fact that her

dress was riding high. She felt so foolish and embarrassed, her innocence about to be taken.

The door to the building came bursting down and gunshots were hear like a series of

bombs flying through an empty ghost town. The sound gave Midoriko an extreme headache.

She turned her head slightly to the door way and saw and rather tall man with red messy hair,

almost emotionless eyes with guns in hand. Another man, not as tall as the first one, but

slender with long white hair and half moon glasses. Ran toward the hurt pale woman and

scoped her up in his arms. She began fighting this man off, her trust lowering very, very

rapidly.

"Go away! Leave me alone you bastard!" she yelled her wounds oozing out more fresh

blood. she cried in pain and almost blacked out.

"It's alright now. Don't worry. You will be safe with us," the white haired man said. She

stared at him awkwardly and finally blacked out, tired from her ordeal, knowing she might be

in safe hands. But still trusts no one...

Authors note: Qui Moi, I think means "Who Me?" in French. If the text runs together, let me

know so I can fix it. Bode? I know this chapter was a little bleh,

but give me some time and I'll make the next one better. I'd love to hear from you guys. Have

a nice day/night/dawn/twlight whatever.
