I was running, running faster then I ever have before. The thing behind me was incredibly fast. It caught up to me easily. I ran down the moon lit ally and I was boxed in. I knew at the moment it had me trapped. I was panicking, fear ran through my body as I heard a faint evil laugh echoed from all around me. A whooshes of air blew past me making me shiver. There was a laugh on my right side, then on my left. I tried to scream but nothing would come out. I was paralyzed with fear. Another laugh sounded this time it was right in front of me, I scanned the ally franticly searching but nothing was there. When something caught my eye, there was someone standing there. How could someone move that fast. How could she move that fast. The girl that stood there looked only fifteen, she was maybe five foot and very skinny with almost see through pale skin and what looked like black hair in the moonlight. That when I saw them. Her eyes. Red. Beautiful gleaming red eyes like ruby's looking me up and down. She started moving towards me I gasped and she smiled while whispering "don't be afraid, this wont hurt much" she said with a laugh. I starred at her bright devilish smile, and noticed something really off. Her teeth were long and pointed like something you'd see in a cheesy vampire movie. Vampire. It all made sense now. This beautiful, non-human creature was a vampire and I was going to be her next meal. Fear was coursing all through me I was going to die. She started moving closer, then in a blink of an eye she was standing right in front of my face. She smiled and looked at my neck. Any second now I was going to be killed by this creature, she tiled her head back getting ready to bite. In a split second, her teeth dug into my jugular, I screamed in pain trying to push her way but she was to strong. Everything started to dim I could feel myself dying. When she finally let go with a hiss I slumped to the ground. I started slipping into darkness, when sounds of people fighting, hissing, growling, things breaking and screams of pain rang through my ears. Everything went silent then, with a whoosh of air, I felt someone lifting my head off the ground stroking my hair, I heard a small soft whisper "I'm so sorry" as I slipped into the darkness.
I shot up, chocking, panting and drenched with sweat, when my alarm clock went off scarring me half to death. Once my heart restarted, I quickly turned it off. My breathing finally went back to normal so I got up and headed to the bathroom with my towel and went to shower. The water was hot, maybe a little to hot. My skin was starting to turn head but it felt nice. I was still trying to shake off that dream but, I couldn't. It was so realistic, the voices, the smile and her teeth digging into my skin, I shivered at the thought. I turned off the water and grabbed my towel, I wrapped it around myself before and headed for my room. I found a black shirt, a pair of grey skinny jeans and put on my black Doc martens, grabbed my school bag and slowly walked downstairs.
"Good morning everyone" I said to my family sitting at our table, as I went to grab a cup of coffee.
"Good morning sweetheart." my mom said cheerfully.
"Good morning son." my father said before raking a drink of his coffee.
"Guess what I heard from Diana yesterday" my mom said while tapping my dad on the shoulder.
"What?" He said putting down his coffee cup.
"Well, apparently, a new family is moving into the old Franklin house, they were moving trucks there last night." said my mom almost jump out of her skin with excitement. This caught my dad's interest and also my sister April's, but I didn't see what the big deal is, families move here all the time. Why were they so special?
I got up from the table, put my cup in the sink and started walking towards the door when I my mom spoke up.
"Sweetheart, can you drive April to school this morning please?, I'm running later for work." She said. I knew this wasn't up for discussion. I had to drive her, so I said yes and told April we are leaving now. With w wine she got up from the table and we both headed out the door to my truck. I unlocked the doors and we both got in.
"If you touch the radio, I'm pulling over and you can walk." I said while starting the car. It was a quite car ride, April piped up while we passed the Franklin house, asking what I think the new family would be like. When I didn't answer, everything went quite again. By that time we were at school. I parked my truck near my friends cutting off the engine. April got out and ran to her friends, while mine came up to me.
"Hey dude, I see you got stuck with April thins morning" Said Liam with a laugh. Liam has been my best friend from the time we were seven. Liam is your typical high school athlete. Super popular, with good looks and has a new girl every week.
"Yes, but she was quite for once." I said rolling my eyes, while we all started walking to the school.
"Did you hear about the new people that are moving into town?" asked Liam.
"Yeah, my mom told us everything this morning, she said your mom told her." I said while walking to my classroom. In class they started talking about all the hot girls that went to this school and talking about which ones I should go out with. I declined and told them none of the girls that go here spark my interest.
It was finally lunch, we all sat at our table, when everyone started talking about the new family. They went on and one about how they hope they have a hot daughter our age and hoped she would go to this school I stopped following the conversation when the bell rang for class. I walked in silence while everyone talked.
"You know, we need to find you a girlfriend." Liam said while pointing to the girls that walked with us.
"No thanks" I said. "I don't need a girlfriend, and I don't want one." I said a little loud, hoping that they all would hear me.
"Oh well, more for me!" Liam laughed.
Class went on forever but, it was finally last period. I couldn't wait to go home sitting and waiting on my roof, for the sun to go down and the stars to come out. I love looking up the stars, every night I sit on the roof and watch the sky. Getting lost in my train of thought, the bell rang, I picked up my stuff and headed out the door, outside all my friends were waiting beside their cars. I saw April and yelled at her to get in the truck, she gave me a death glare and turned to face her friends to say goodbye. She finally hopped in the truck looking mad. I started the truck and pulled out of the parking spot heading for home.
"You know, I was having a very important conversation with my friends before you interrupted." she said snapping at me. Ignored her as she went one and one about pointless things. Getting lost in my train of thought again, I snapped out of it by hearing my sister scream and yell "watch out!". I saw a black car and stomped on the breaks, I watched the black car pull into a drive way. The Franklin house drive way. I almost hit the new family. April and I just starred as four people got out of the car. There was a man, he wore a black coat and had brown hair, turning to face a woman in a black dress, with long red hair. They walked up to the house and turned back around yelling something. There was a boy, he was short, with brown hair, he looked around April's age, hw was facing a different way. I turned my head to see what he was looking at. There was a girl, in a black dress with red hair, that went past her shoulders looking at my truck, she was tall, taller then what must be her brother. Feeling embarrassed, I sped away.
"I cant believe you almost killed us and the new family! What is wrong with you!?" April screeched.
"Holy! I'm sorry, stop screaming!" I yelled back her. We got home and got out of the car. I went straight up stairs, dropped my bag on my computer chair. I walked over to my bed and laid down with my hands behind my head starring at the ceiling, my mind started to drift, I started thinking about her, the girl with the red hair.
