Okay, so its almost Halloween, and in my town it's trick'or'treating to night... So I figured I would write a story in honor of the Halloween spirit. I really hope you guy's like this, and i'm soooo sorry for any mistakes on spelling or grammar. Now i will leave you alone and let you read.

Chapter: 1

Sodapop's POV

"Okay Max, I'm going to head on home." I said to my boss, grabbing my jacket from behind the counter.

"Okay Sodapop, thanks for staying late, and helping me out tonight." He replied, waving to me.

"Sure no problem, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Good. If you see Steve, tell him I said I hope he gets better soon, and no more jumping into cold rivers, in freezing weather to prove he is tough."

Laughing I nodded. "I'll tell him, but don't think he'll listen." I opened the door, and walked out into the night. Darry had the pickup truck, and since I was working late tonight, I told him to just go home, and not to worry about picking me up. He hadn't liked the idea very much at first, but finally agreed to it. He had been planning on taking Ponyboy and Johnny out trick or treating tonight, but at their request, I Had talked him out of it. When you're sixteen and fourteen years old, you don't normally want your older brother, or friend's older brother there to watch over you, as if you were five. So most likely Darry was at home, sitting at the table doing bills, or falling asleep. I hoped it was the ladder one cause he really did have a long day every day, and he needs more sleep then he gets.

I kept walking along, till I saw a dark figure walking towards me. At first I thought nothing of it. I watched it closely to make sure it wasn't going to make a move and jump me or anything, but other than that it might as well not even be there.

"Greetings young man." A deep voice said, as the figure stopped in front of me.

"Hi." I answered back. The man in front of me looked around thirty, and had the palest skin I've ever seen. Not that I could see perfectly, but there was a full moon at my back, shinning on the man's face. His eyes kinda startled me, for they seemed to be the eyes of a person around ninety. Like they've seen a lot, and there for have many secrets, but he only looked a few years older the Darry.

"Unusual for a boy to be walking around by himself on Halloween night, shouldn't you be with your friends, playing pranks, or whatever you kids do now of days."

Wondering vaguely why he was talking like a guy who was someone's grandpa, I said.

"I had to work tonight, but if you don't mind I'm heading home to do just that."

This guy was giving me the creeps, but I didn't let it show, and just being around him made me feel cold. I started to continue walking, giving him a smile and nodding a good-bye, but he moved in front in front of my path, blocking me. Looking at him, I let the smile fade from my face.

"Can I help you with something?" I asked carefully, unsure really what to do, if worst came to worst, I figured I could fight him. He wasn't real big, about my height, a few inches taller, but almost no build, were I had a pretty good one. I was sure I could get away if need be.

"Yes, as a matter of fact you can, young man." He took a step towards me, and I took one back. He was already too close for comfort, one more step and he would have been able to touch my chest with his.

"And what can I do?"

"Hmmm… You know, you smell really good." Sniffing the air, the man closed his eyes, only to open them a second latter.

"Well um… that's strange cause my skins covered in oil and sweat." I said, letting out a short laugh. Man this guy was freaking me out. Who randomly tells you, you smell good after you just spent the day, and half the night at work, and needed a shower.

"I'm not talking about what's on your skin." He said, a smile as cold as death breaking out onto his face. "I'm talking about what's under it."

"What's under… what are you talking about?" I asked, taking another step back.

"I'm talking about you blood. Boy."

"My… What?" I was so confused now. I was pretty sure it was Impossible for a human to smell blood under neither you skin.

"But I'm not human." The smile turning into a grin, as my face gave away into shock. "Yes I can hear your thoughts, and also feel your emotions."

I backed away even further now, but never gained any ground, since he always took a step toward me for everyone I took back. He let out a hissing sound, and I looked at his mouth in time to see glistening white fangs, pop out from his red gums. I jumped when I saw this, my body froze with shock. "You're a…" I couldn't say the word no matter how hard I tried.

"Yes, a vampire. That I am, and soon you will be to, my boy."

"What no... No I can't be…"I felt like my mind was spinning, at all of this. A real vampire, that's not possible, yet he was in front of me. I had seen the fangs come out, and his eyes made sense now, with their knowing glint.

"You have no choice in the matter, son. It's all my decision."

"But why me?" My legs were shaking, but surprisingly my voice was steady, although I was having a hard time thinking of what to say. Not that I got another chance to say anything, because the man was on me in a second. I fell to the ground hitting, my head on the asphalt. I wrapped my hands around his neck, but he was stronger than I had guessed, and his mouth was inches from my neck. I gritted my teeth, and pushed up against him with all my strength, but he was able to lower his head to my neck with ease. I twisted, trying to get away, but his teeth sank into my skin, and I felt blood start rushing out of my veins. My mouth opened as a scream of pain escaped my lips, but then numbness came over me, and I found myself blacking out…

Sooo... How did you guy's like it? Please review! It only takes a few seconds, and it would mean so much to me if you did. Please Guy's? I'm asking with all my heart, so please don't let me down...
