Solitude Rescues

Chapter 1- The Beginning

The cold air touched my face as I walked alone on the frozen street to the bus stop. I always wished for one thing, yet it seemed to never come true. I wanted to be a vampire, but was born human. I knew their were vampires out there, mainly from sightings and people talking about it. Always I waited until finally the bus came to a stop at the street sign that said, 'Fur Avenue'. I sat in the sat in the seat that was right behind the driver. Not caring for the ride, just wanting for school to start so it can end.

When I got into the high school building I sat on a bench waiting for my friend, named Felicity Rose Dark. While I waited, I pulled a book out called, 'Graceling' and read it. "Hey Maria," Felicity said as she sat next to Maria. "Hello Felicity," I answered happily.

"Hey did you see Jen? She was telling people that she had lice!" Felicity exclaimed.

"Really, she shouldn't be at school then. Either she does have it or she just wants attention," Maria answered easily.

"True," Felicity agreed.

The first bell rang, meaning it was time to head to class. Maria walked with Felicity to her class then she walked to hers.

My English class was small, just like the high school. There wasn't a lot of kids in the class, but some could get pretty mean. In the classroom they were seated with a partner, mine was a girl named, Cream May Rabbit, most liked her for her long beautiful curly hair, cute charm, and lovable personality. Today they were getting new partners, I didn't mind who I had as my partner as long as I could get along with them and they did their work. Mrs. Taboth called Creams' name, Cream was partnered with a boy named Silver, he had long spiked silver-ish hair, he was kind but when there was something to be done he was determined to finish it. Most girls liked him, Felicity had a crush on Silver. Though I didn't seem to have an interest in most of the men at the high school. I just didn't seem to like them. It was as if I wasn't ready, I just stayed away from them.

Mrs. Taboth stopped calling names and said, "We have a new student today, I'm sure you'll all get along with him great. His name is Ren Maaka; Ren you'll be sitting with Maria, the young brunette over there." I looked up from the floor to see a blue hair boy with hazel eyes. "Hey," he said with ease. I was puzzled, I seemed to like this new student, it was the first time I had liked anyone. Slightly I began blushed a faint pink and said, "I'm Maria, nice to meet you." I turned and sat down in one of the desks and Ren sat in the one next to me.

Twenty minutes into the class, Mrs. Taboth had to leave for a few minutes. She left us unattended by an adult because she trusted us. A girl named Diess walked up to Ren while he was sitting there spacing out and said, "I feel bad for you. You have to sit with that lesbian," She laughed. He had an amazed expression until I said, "Diess I'm not you just want attention." The classroom got quiet and all the students looked at me while I just filled out the homework that they we were assigned. "No, you want attention so you became lesbian. You're a stupid faggot. No one likes you so why don't you just go die in a hole." Diess stated sharply. "Diess I don't know who you think you are, but since when are you aloud to pick on anyone you desire. You have no right and neither does anyone else. So just back off," Ren said plainly with a little anger in his voice. Diess gave a weird look then said, "Ren you do know she's lesbian. I saw her kiss a girl with my own eyes!"

"I've never kissed a girl. Your just making up lies so Ren likes you. Just because I haven't shown interest in guys and became a slut like you, doesn't make me lesbian," I stated plainly. The other kids in the classroom were happy that Diess was being taunted by someone. Diess was finally being shown for the cruel person she was.

"Oh and another thing. I didn't kiss a girl, you did. I saw you in the locker room after everyone left, you kissed Katana. Now sit down, do your work, and shut the fuck up," I said annoyed and angry. Ren smirked, at a thought he had.

"Maria I'll make you wish you hadn't said that!" Diess said with fury. I was glad at what I said, normally I couldn't stand up for myself, but for some odd reason this one time I could. Not only that I didn't even know where I thought of what to say since my mind was blank. It was as if someone helped me stand up for myself by telling me what to say. Mrs. Taboth came back in the room and told Diess to sit down. The rest of the class time was spent on work, reading, and writing.

After the bell rang, I walked to room 23. The room that Felicity had her next class in. I waited there for her. Someone tapped me on the shoulder, when I turned around I didn't find Felicity, but Ren Maaka. "Hello." Ren greeted. I was surprised, I had no clue whether he followed me or not. I was curious on why he followed me. "Hi.." I said uneasy. Ren was staring into my blue eyes, to me it felt like he was looking into my very soul. "I followed you because I saw you had the same class with me next. In class I saw your schedule." Ren said fluently. I just stood there staring into his eyes. "Maria? Wow did you finally find a boy you like?" Felicity questioned surprised. I turned around to look at Felicity instead of into Rens' eyes.

~After School~

I was at home, in my back yard, my parents were never home. The back yard, was filled with beautiful green grass, wild flowers that always bloomed, a fence with brown paint brushed gently on the wood. The air tasted like stew, the smell from the stew coming out the window from the kitchen. The pale wooded swing tided to the tallest trees' strongest branch.

The home was always empty, except for when I was there. To most kids I seemed different, strange, unique. Some just thought I was crazy, weird, and annoying. What was different about today was that for some odd reason the boy named Ren, gave me shivers.

In my blood was the blood of vampire slayers, but I did not wish to slay them. I just wanted to coexist with them. Whenever a vampire is near my blood line can sense it. Though I don't know how it feels to sense a vampire. I think I sensed one today. I went inside and turned the stove off, I placed the crockpot of stew on the counter and went back outside.

I saw a rabbit ith a terrified look run past me. I was curious, so I went to where the rabbit had come from. I stopped at an openning in the middle of a forest. Looking around I saw a single bat hanging from a tree. It's eyes staring at me as if it had no mind. I slowly walked up to the bat and pet it. It seemed safe until something gave off a bright yellow light and I passed out. Openning my eyes I realize I'm inside a building.

Looking around, the rooms' only light came from under the only door. The room had nothing else in there. I got up and heard faint voices, I put my ear up to the door, listening. "She's a classmate of mine. I doubt she knows about our secret," a voice that sounded familiar said. There was silence for a moment, then I put my hand on the handle. I slowly opened the door to find Ren Maaka and four other people staring at me. I slammed the door shut as I screamed.

"Big brother, I thought you said she knew you?" A young teenaged girls' voice asked. Then I heard her complaining about something while Ren was yelling at her creepily. I slowly opened the door again and stared at Ren. "About time you woke up. You had me worried," Ren said. "Where am I? And what did that bat do to me?" I asked, confused about everything. "A bat," Ren asked, curious. "Yes! I pet a bat and then I was blinded by a light! I passed out after that!" I exclaimed. Ren closed his eyes and smirked, "I'll be watching out for you then. THat bat did something to you that you haven't noticed. Come on, I'll walk you home."

He walked to the door and I followed thinking of what the bat changed about me. Walking home, I noticed that it was night already. Suddenly Ren put his arm around my waist. I blushed faintly, Ren looked at me and smirked. "I know you like me, Maria. Such a beautiful name. I know about your familys' past. They were vampire slayers...you aren't, are you?" Ren asked. "No...I just want to coexist with them." I said softly.

Ren pulled me close to him. "Good, I don't think you want to slay someone you like." Ren stated, staring in my eyes. "What do yo-" Ren cut me off by kissing me. The kiss lasted a while until he broke the kiss for air. He smirked, picked me up and took me home. He opened the front door like he knew it was unlocked, he placed me on the couch and said, "You want to see what vampires like me like doing?" I didn't get to answer because Ren kissed me again. Then he started kissing my neck, then I felt a small pinch in my neck, then I could feel two small objects in my neck. I could feel my blood moving in my neck to the two small objects. I slowly fled from conciousness, from loss of blood.

End of chapter 1! Yay!
