A Vampire's Kiss

Miranda dozed in the passenger seat, her chest slowly rising and falling as Shane drove the car. His arm was around her shoulders and the other held the steering wheel. He pulled into the driveway and got out of the car, then went around the other side and carried Miranda inside. He set her on the couch, her father helping. "Alright, Shane, see you tomorrow," he said, dismissing his daughter's boyfriend. He nodded and drove the pickup truck back the way they had come. He was going down the road to his house and it was late, rain drizzling, for it was mid-spring. He saw something flash across the road in his headlights and he braked sharply, but the wet road made him slide. The back of the truck hit into the trees that lined the road and the airbags inflated. He groaned, feeling stupid, and ran a hand through his short black hair, but something fell onto the top of the car bonnet. He couldn't see it, the lights had gone out when the car crashed, and then a pale fist emerged from the darkness and hit the windshield, cracking it open. The hand grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him through, the glass cutting through his skin. He screamed, but they put something cold to his neck and it silenced him, he couldn't speak. "How beautiful he is," a female voice remarked, and he could make out a pale-skinned girl with dark purple eyes and silver hair. "I should like to keep him, after we have a bit of a snack," another said, and a blonde, red-eyed girl entered his view. The man holding his fist had brown hair that had a surfer-cut hairstyle with almond-shaped eyes, but the scariest part was that the eyes were an almost clear blue. "Who are you?" Shane asked in fear. They chuckled. "More like what are we, sweet human," the silver-haired one corrected sweetly, grinning and showing a pair of sharp fangs instead of incisors. "Yes, he is lovely, he shall do well. Can we keep him, Jordan?" the blonde begged. The man looked from the girls to Shane. "Alright, I'd like to see him suffer anyway. But I get a drink first, I'm dry," he insisted, and lifted Shane higher. The silver-haired girl reached up on her tippy-toes and kissed the choking Shane, then looked him over contently. "He will definitely do," she agreed, and returned to Jordan's side. Jordan grinned. "Girls, you can do the honors," he purred and the others grinned. Jordan slightly lowered Shane and the two girls stood on each side of him. The silver-haired one pressed her mouth to his neck and looked at the blonde one. The other one did the same and watched her, then they both bit down, their fangs sinking in like butter. Shane tried to scream but all he could do was writhe in Jordan's grip. The girls giggled and Jordan bit his shoulder, sucking some blood out for a snack. The venom spread and paralyzed him in pain, and he passed into unconsciousness. The vampire trio dashed towards the forest, dragging the body with them. When Shane woke, he was in a white room with tile floors and he was undressed on a metal table. Everything looked blurry, but he swore he saw something in the corner. The girls from before walked from the corner and stood over him, grinning. "He turned out amazing," one said. "Well, of course! He was even gorgeous before, he was just too…alive," the other pointed out. "Miranda…" Shane whispered, and he tried to get up but he fell on the floor. He scrambled to crouch, his bare feet on the cold tile floor. "Who are you?" he asked. "Why did you bring me here?" The blonde one shook her head. "Always the same questions," she said, and Shane charged the two girls in anger, but they each outstretched a hand towards him, their palms facing him. "Nisefthen!" they yelled, and he was frozen. "You are ours, newborn, and we command you," the silver haired one ordered, and Shane looked up in fear now, uncertain of his future…
(Now)
Miranda sat in school, looking bored and sick as always. She seemed lifeless since her boyfriend had disappeared a year ago…She walked home, her face hidden behind her hoodie and long brown hair. All her old friends had noticed months ago that she would never be the same without Shane, and her parents were trying too hard to 'fix' her. She reached home and walked inside. "I'm home," she called, and her mother came towards her from the kitchen. "Sweetie, your father and I need to tell you…We're moving to Colorado," she said, and Miranda looked at them in shock. "You're taking me now? On the anniversary of….Shane…?" she asked helplessly. Her mother at least looked guilty. "It's for your own good, sweetie. We're leaving tomorrow," she explained, and Miranda ran up to her room, finding everything in a box.
