I put the pen down and waited for them to step in. It didn't take long for them to appear out of thin air. They weren't human but I didn't know what. They were pale like chalk, faster then the eye could see, and had milky red eyes.
There was someone new with them this time. Instead of four people there were five. Four men and one woman. The women had on black jeans, a navy blue collared long-sleeved shirt, and black boots. She was shorter than all the men but seemed to have them under her control. Her hair was down to her shoulders and light brown. Then men had blue jeans, collared black long-sleeved shirts, and black boots.
"That him," I heard the woman ask.
"Yes that is him," the tallest male answered.
She turned and looked over at me. Then started to walk my way. She was silent as she came over. The others followed her like sheep.
She stopped right in front of me and squatted down. She was eye level with me now and she stared at me for a while. She looked down to see the letter and took it. She held it up and read it through.
"Don't hurt his family," she ordered them. She put the letter down again and looked back at me. "We will see to it that no harm comes to them. What is your name? Edward right?"
"Y-Y-Yes t-that is right," I stammered out. "I'm E-E-Edward T. Jones."
"Very nice to finally meet the man who has caused so much problem," she mocked. "I'm Evangeline Morelli."
"Me?"
"Yes you. You have caused my family problems. You nearly caused my entire family to die because of what you said."
"What did I say," I had no idea I caused this. I didn't even remember what I said.
"Well maybe it is not what you said. You said that we weren't human. You are right. We are not human but I'm sure you have seen that. Do you know what we are?"
"No."
"We are vampires Mr. Jones. But we have rules that need to be followed. And one of them is to keep the secret. You nearly told everyone. That led to us getting in trouble and now half my clan is dead."
Her voice was full of pain when she said that. Something more had happened. I just didn't know what but I was going to find out.
"Vampires," I let out in a breath. "Then why haven't you killed me yet? Why am I still here?"
"Diciamo lui," Do we tell him? She said to the man closest to her. She spoke in what sounded like Italian but I could not be for sure.
"Non riesco a vedere il danno in esso. Forse lasciare in bianco che ci ha detto. Ricordate che vogliono parlare con lui dopo il cambiamento." I don't see the harm in it. Maybe leave out who said to. Remember they want to talk to him after the change. He replied to her softly. I couldn't understand them so I just waited for my answers.
"Si ricordo. Devo dirgli perché E che cosa stiamo facendo. Niente di più." Yes I remember. I will tell him why and what we are doing. Nothing more.
He nodded slowly then walked off.
"Why haven't you killed me," I asked my voice shaky.
"We were told not to kill you. Just get the point across. We have to change you and we will."
"So you aren't going to kill me."
"No. Change is more like it. But you can't ever see your family again. We will tell them you are dead. Makes things easier on them."
I stared at her for a long time. I couldn't believe what she was saying. I was going to be a vampire. But that meant I had to leave my family behind. I had to give everything up to protect them.
"When," was the only word that would reach my mouth.
"Now if you like."
I nodded and she helped me up. I was to weak to stand on my own so she keep her arm around me. She guided me to a bed and told me to lie down. I did as I was told and laid down. The bed was soft and warm but I knew it didn't mater anymore. I was going to be killed no matter what they said.
"I need you to be as still as possible," Evangeline's voice rang softly in my ear. "I'm going bite you at your wrist, neck, and maybe chest. The closer to the heart the fast the change. It is going to be painful."
Her head went down to my neck and I could feel her cool breath. She got closer and my heart started beating faster. She bit down quick and stayed for a moment. Soon she lifted my arm and bit my wrist. Everything started to go black and fire started to flare in my veins. She came down again but this time at my chest and bit down. The fire grew more intense and the pain was over whelming. Soon everything went completely black and the last word I heard was sorry. I was Evangeline's voice and it sounded sincere.
