This story is based on real events in my life in the beginning. The first two paragraphs are almost completely true. My sister was in the hospital and the description of her is true. I actually cried a little remembering the way she was back then. It was the scariest thing I have ever seen. The only thing that isn't real in the first two paragraphs is that 1) she was sick in 7th grade not high school and 2) yes she was in the ICU, but she did get better. They at least had an idea as to what was wrong and she eventually got out of the ICU. But it was pretty much this bad. She did get worse, she did look scary, she was in the ICU, it happened all of a sudden, and they still aren't sure what was wrong
Ch 1
Hannah sat outside of her high school in England. It was lunch time and the sun was shining so most people had gravitated outside. She laughed and talked with her friends, Sarah, Megan, Lisa, and Lindsay as they sat on the curb, under a small tree. Across from them was a group of guys. Every so often Hannah would look over to catch one of the guys looking at her. Once he noticed that she saw him he would look away. She didn't know who he was, but she wanted to. She was curious as to why this boy seemed so interested in her. After all, she wasn't the prettiest girl and her body wasn't the greatest. She couldn't understand why all of a sudden it seemed like she was getting more attention. She wasn't sure she liked it. It was... weird... she wasn't use to it. Just then she felt her phone buz in her pocket and her stomach flipped over. She was afraid as to what the text message held.
Her little sister, Brigid, was in the hospital at the moment. One minute she was fine the next she had a 104.6 fever and she couldn't keep down anything, not even Tylenol. She had been in the hospital for the past few days and she was only getting worse. They had moved her to the ICU and they had no idea what was wrong. Hannah had gone to visit her and it scared her. She was covered in IV's and tubes. She was deathly pale and thin. I was so horrible to see her and try to see that this was her energetic bratty little sister that she loved, even if she would never admit it.
Hannah reached into her pocket and pulled out her silver voyager and flipped it open. She opened the message, her heart beating fast, and quickly read it over. Her face changed from worry, to fear, then sadness, and finally anger. "No, no, no, NO!" she screamed. She punched the light post next to her so hard that she left a dent and her knuckles started to bleed. People started to stare and tears poured down her face. "WHY?" she yelled.
Josh was sitting in history but he wasn't really paying attention. He was too busy thinking about his little sister who was in the hospital. He was so worried about Brigid. He then thought about Hannah, his other little sister. She seemed fine but he could tell she was taking Brigid's illness badly. "No! WHY?" he heard a scream from outside. He recognized that voice... He quickly jumped up and ran to the window, ignoring the teacher telling him to sit back down. Sure enough there was his sister. She was sobbing and he could see blood on her hand. His stomach dropped. This couldn't be good. He turned and tore out of the classroom. He sprinted down the hall and flew down the stairs. He reached the doors and flung them open, rushing past everyone and over to Hannah.
"Hannah! Calm down!" he yelled at her, grabbing her. She slapped him and yelled "Shut up Josh! How can I calm down at a time like this?" Josh was confused but he had an idea of what was going on. "What happened?" he asked quietly. "She's fucking dead! Gone! My little sister! I won't ever see her again!" she screamed at him. He let her go, speechless. No. This couldn't be happening.
Hannah ripped her arm out of Josh's grasp and whipped around. She grabbed her bag, slung it over her shoulder and started to run. "Hannah wait! Catch her!" she heard Josh yell. The boy who had been watching her reached out and she heard him say, "Hannah please-" but she shoved past and kept running, dodging people and picking up speed. She ran out down the hill and into the trees that made the back border of the school. She climbed the fence and carefully crawled over the part of barbed wire that had been bent by many students to make it easier to flee the hell house called school. She ran through the forest, jumping over fallen trees and ducking under branches. She couldn't hear anyone following her anymore, but she didn't slow down. The adrenaline was fueling her as she ran home with no thought other then how to get away and what would happen next.
Brigid's death hit her like a train. Yes, her sister was a bit of a selfish brat, but she still loved her. Brigid admired Hannah greatly and she knew that it would hurt Brigid a lot if she left home. She was one of the biggest reasons that she didn't leave already. Now that she was gone there was barely any reason to stay. If anything, her death had made more of a reason to leave. Se didn't want to be in the house with her family as they sat there in silence. It was already bad enough when Elias, their dog, died. She couldn't imagine how bad it would be now that Brigid was gone. It would be too quiet and being there and not seeing her would just remind her that she was gone and never coming back.
She ran out onto the road and narrowly dodged an oncoming car, as they blared their horn at her, but she didn't care. She ran through yards, blocking out the sound of the angry land owners, not feeling the sprinklers which dowsed her with water. Her mind only focused on making a plan. She had to find a way... She turned the corner and ran up the driveway to her old victorian house. She ran in the door and up the stairs. She packed everything she needed into a bag and ran back down the stairs. She was looking for spare cash when she saw something. Her mother's debit card. She grinned as she thought 'Jackpot!' she grabbed it and ran out the door, without a backward glance. As she ran she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
Her phone rang a few times when a sweet female voice answered, "Hey Bud, whats up? Shouldn't you be in school?" "Ash, I need your help. Meet me at your train station in about an hour." Hannah said quickly as she ran towards the center of town. "Hannah what's going on? Are you ok? You sound weird..." Hannah's girlfriend asked, worry thick in her voice. "I will explain everything in person. I have to go. See you in an hour. Bye." and Hannah hung up. She dashed into the bank and quickly went to the ATM. She put in the card and withdrew as much as she could. She knew that they could track where the card was being used so she couldn't use it often. She also didn't know how long it would take for them to shut the card down. She took the money and the card, slipped them into an envelope and ran across the street to the train station. "One one-way ticket to London please." she asked the teller and and slid the money through the slot in the window. He slid her a ticket and she ran up to the train that had just arrived. 'Let's hope this works.' she thought as she got on.
An hour later the train pulled into London station and Hannah quickly got off and ran towards the street. She immediately saw Ashley and she ran up to the petite dark haired girl. Ashley hugged her and then asked, "So now are you going to tell me what the hell is going on?" Hannah nodded and they got into the car. "So... You know how Brigid is in the hospital?" Hannah asked Ash, and Ash nodded in response, her eyes on the road as they drove a few minutes towards the old lodge. The old lodge was where they always hung out since Ash's mother disliked Hannah greatly.
"Well, she died. I got the text a little while before I called you." Hannah stated bluntly and Ash gasped. "Oh my god, Hannah! I'm so sorry! But what does that have to do with coming here?" Ash asked her. "I'm fed up with my life. I want to start a new one, get a new name, a new look, a new life. I have money and I'm forming a plan I just need your help." Hannah explained quickly. Ash seemed thoughtful for a moment then she nodded again. "I will do whatever I can do to help." "Thank you Ash." Hannah said with a slight smile as they got out of the car and walked into the lodge.
"Ok, so this is my plan so far; I need to dye my hair and get colored contacts. I will also need a place to stay. The hardest part is going to be getting a new birth certificate and a fake permit. If I have those then everything should go fine. I can enroll in school, get a job, get a license, and have proof that I am not Hannah if the police get suspicious." she explained to Ash. Ash thought for a moment and then slowly said, "I think this might work... Come on, let's start with the hair dye." They ran back to the car and drove off the the closest drug store.
"Ok, this looks good. I already don't look like my self. Once I get the contacts it will be even better." Hannah said as she looked in the mirror at her new hair. It was jet black with pale blond streaks. "Yah I can't believe this is you." Ash said, smiling at her handy work. Ash stood up, grabbed Hannah's hand, and dragged her out the door, saying, "Come on, let's go to the optometrist."
Once they had gone to the optometrist and Hannah had told the doctor what color she wanted and what her prescription was, they had left to go clothes shopping until the contacts were ready. To match her new look, they had gone straight to hot topic and immediately grabbed armfuls of stuff and Hannah had tried them on. Once about two hours had gone by, they paid for everything and went back to the car. They drove to the old lodge to set up for her staying there until she could find a better place. There was an old cot and an old closet. She tossed the bags of clothes and her bag into the closet and sat down to wait for Ash. She had run to her house to sneak some food and a few blankets and a pillow.
Ash soon returned and they finished setting up her makeshift home. Once they were done Ash told her she had to leave because her mom was starting to get suspicious. Hannah gave her the electronics and their cords she had brought so that she could charge them at her house, and she left. Hannah sat down at the small table and unwrapped the cold pizza and fruit that Ash had brought. She sat and quietly ate it, occasionally taking sips from the bottle of coke that had also been stolen from the pantry.
Night started to fall and Hannah got up and looked through the cupboards. She soon came across what she had been looking for. Candles and matches. She then went out onto the porch and grabbed a few of the lanterns that were hanging and started to light them. Soon she had a few lights up. Not enough to attract attention, but still enough to see. She then cleaned up a little, changed into a t-shirt for sleep, blew out all of the candles and lanterns except for one, and went to her room. She climbed onto the cot and blew out her candle. Soon enough sleep overcame her, but it was plagued with nightmares.
The next day Ash picked her up and they drove to the optometrist and picked up her contacts and she immediately switched her old ones for the new ones. She blinked and looked into the mirror at her new bright green eyes. She liked them and she smiled slightly.
They next went to a makeup store and picked up new makeup for Hannah. Once they were done and they were in the car Ash spoke. She had been mostly silent this whole time, thinking it seemed. "I think I know where you can stay but it may be a little weird..." Ash trailed off. She looked at Hannah and said, "You know I'm a seer*, right?" "Yah..." Hannah said slowly, wondering where this was going. "Well there is a company I had worked with on a few select cases that I think may be able to help you. They are called the Hellsing organization. They hunt freaks, or rather vampires and ghouls." Ash said. "Holy fuck..." Hannah whispered. Ash then went on to explain the hellsing company and her idea.
"Ok, so you want me to go to Sir Hellsing, ask for Alucard to make me a vampire, in exchange for me working for them and them giving me a place to stay. They can also help with my permit and birth-certificate situation, right?" Hannah clarified. Ash nodded as they pulled up to a huge castle. "Here we are. " Ash said quietly as they drove up towards the front door.
Ok yes I know that this is very strange but for now it is going to have to do. It started out very broken and weird and it jumped around a lot but I tried to fix it. I hope it worked lol well anyway I always love constructive critisism so please do review! Also if you just want to say hi and that you want me to keep writing please do! I WONT UPDATE UNLESS YOU REVIEW! Thankies!
