The new kid
As you may want to know me my name is Cody Matthews. My family just moved to a new town. It is kind of quiet here but its nice than a loft in New York. New York was nice too but I guess this could be a better life for us. My parents told me stories about this town when I was little. They used to scare me but they also made me laugh a little. Now I hear stories about vampires living here. That made me laugh really hard.
It was around nine in the evening and decided to take a walk in the park. This town does have a lot of history for its founders. One was good but the other was evil. That may have to do with the whole vampire thing. I was walking down the stone path kicking an acorn into the fresh cut grass.
Not the best night to be outside but it was worth it. After a while it got to quiet until I saw some dark figure in the tree up ahead. I thought it was just an owl so I just kept walking. But the weird thing is the figure kept following me. It kept following me until it was gone. It was gone. It went away.
"Hello," said a voice behind me.
I jumped from the voice. I turned around to see a small blonde haired boy behind me.
"Hello," I said. "Do you always do that to people?"
"No, not really, by the way my name is Rory."
"Thanks, my name is Cody."
"Yeah, you're the new kid everyone heard about at school."
"Everyone knows now?"
"Of course everyone knows. How old are you?"
"Fourteen."
"That's cool, I am too."
"Great," I said a little concerned.
"I hear you live in that small white house down the street," said Rory.
"Were you the one spying on me in the park?"
"Yeah watching people is like television to me."
"Well, I'm not a TV show so I guess were now friends."
"Friends," said Rory shaking my hand.
"Hey, Cody there is one thing I want to ask you," said Rory.
"What."
"I'm thirsty."
"So there is a drinking fountain over there."
"Well, I'm kind of thirsty for something else."
"Like what?"
"Will you let me drink?"
"Sure."
I wasn't sure of what Rory was talking about until I saw it. I saw his human canine get longer until they were about two inch long fangs.
"V-v-v-vampire!" I shouted.
I ran away screaming with him flying after me. Now I finally believe those stories my mom told to me. Those movies used to be scary but now it's even scarier in real life. I kept running making sure he didn't get me but he was too fast. I had to pick up speed. I picked up rocks from the duck pond and started throwing them at him. But that didn't stop him he was still chasing after me.
My legs were tiring me out and I had to stop. I decided to stop and take a breather which is the stupidest thing I have done.
"Come on, Cody I really need blood," said Rory.
"Why do you want mine?"
"You can be immortal, Cody."
"That is not a good reason."
"But I need the blood to live; being a vampire is not that bad."
"It's not?"
"No here's what it is, you can still go out in sunlight, you have to drink blood from humans or animals to survive, and you can eat normal food, you also never have to sleep. We can fly and run fast, we have perfect night vision but we can't turn into bats."
"Still I'm not sure about it."
"Please, I really need the blood."
"Okay here is what I'm going to do. I will invite you over to my house and then we can discuss this in my bedroom as long as Jacob isn't in there."
"Who's Jacob?"
"My stupid little brother."
"Okay then lets go."
We went out of the park and down the sidewalk. Most of the shops were closed right now but it was getting almost to that time. All the cars were parallel parked on the side of the road. My house was just around the corner where I could see the U haul van. Rory ran into the lead of me. We both went into my house where I saw my mom in the living room.
"Hi, Cody, who is this?" said my mom.
"This is Rory," I said.
"Well, nice to meet you, Rory."
"Thanks, Mrs. Matthews, Cody invited me up to his room."
"Okay, Cody also make sure he is not a vampire," said my mom joking.
"Okay," I said.
We got up to my room and I opened the door. I saw my little brother Jacob on my bed reading my spiderman comics. Even the one hung up on my wall.
"Hey, what are you doing?" I said angrily.
"Reading your nerd books," said Jacob.
"What did you do? That comic book cost me three hundred dollars."
"Well I guess it's worth nothing," said Jacob throwing it on the ground and walking out of my room.
"I really hate him," I mumbled.
"Don't worry about him my life is in jeopardy right now!" said Rory.
"Okay," I said.
"I need blood right now," said Rory.
"I don't know how I'm going to think this through."
"I just need blood."
"Yeah but you want to drink from me."
"You will not be hurt its like a one pinch to the neck and then you fall into a trance sleep for about four hours while the changes are happening."
"I'm not sure if I want to do this."
"But if I don't drink I'll die."
"I know I want you to stay alive, I'm not sure what my parents would say if they saw a dead body in my room."
"Will you let me drink?"
I thought about it and had an answer.
"Okay, I'll be a vampire."
Rory pulled out his fangs, he grabbed hold of me while I felt the two fangs stab into my neck. It was a burning pain. I fell to the ground knocked out.
