AN: I do not own the Twilight series. The only thing I own in this story is Daisy, the girl in the story.
James POV
We – Laurent, Victoria and, I – were headed to the Pacific coast. I thought that it would be best because we would have an easy escape should trouble arise.
Just outside of Seattle, Laurent was thirsty, as was I. So, we decided to hunt. Victoria went for the bar, there were loads of drunken men that would gladly follow her out of the bar and out of the city without asking any questions. Next Laurent left, I do not know where. I decided to head to the outskirts of the city, where I would be left alone while I fed.
I longed for the next time I could track a human. Though I preferred humans that were guarded by a vampire because it added to the challenge. But for now, I would have to make do with what I can do.
I did not see anyone and was about to head back to the city when I caught the scent of someone in the street. Quickly, I ran behind the human to see where it was and if I should "play with my food" or not.
The human was a girl, and she looked lost. She was dressed in clothes thicker then what anyone from these parts would were. That was good, it meant that she was a tourist and that no one would miss her for a while if she suddenly "disappeared." She also looked to be around 17 or 18 years old, so that meant that her parents were probably not going to notice her death for at least a few weeks. Seeing this, I decided to as Laurent put it, "play with my food."
I ran past the girl, but not close enough to her for her to feel my tailwind. But I did rustle the bushes, which was my goal.
The girls heard the bushes and stopped walking. She turned to see if anyone was there. Once seeing that no one was there, she kept walking as if nothing happened. Well then, she might not be easily frightened. So I ran past her again, this time close enough for her to feel my tailwind. I also whispered "Mortis" into her ear. Mortis or Mortia is Latin and it means death.
She shivered a little; this was a good sign for me. Yet again I ran past the girl, but this time, I ran around the corner so I could walk back at a human pace and pretend to help her.
"Excuse me!" she yelled when she saw me. I turned to her as if I did not notice her before and smiled a warm smile. She ran up to me and asked, "Do you know where downtown Seattle is? I need to check into a hotel."
"Yah," I said, "in fact I was just headed there, would you like to come with me? My name is James by the way." Yes I used casual conversation, not something I would usually do.
She looked happy. "Thank you and I am Daisy," she replied.
I lead her a bit towards Seattle, but when I was sure that her focus was on me and not our route, I led her to a dark alley, I know, I need some new things. But I was not finished scaring her yet, not that I was scaring her before.
Once Daisy was led a good distance into the alley, I ran out as fast as my feet could carry me.
Daisy looked around stunned, and when her brain finally caught up, she started to run out of the alley. I was not having that, so I ran in front of her.
Yet again, Daisy looked surprised, and now she also looked scared, this thought put a smile on my face.
I started to back her up into the wall. Daisy's brain seemed to not be in that much shock because she could still speak clearly.
"What are you?" She asked. I only smiled wider. The adrenaline in Daisy's system was more than most humans I hunt, yet she was able to think clearly and work through the fear as if she was not afraid. Interesting, I had not seen anything like this before.
This was going a little to slow for me, so I flung her into a wall.
Daisy's POV (starting at the beginning of the story.)
I was lost. Yep that just about summed it up. I was utterly and hopelessly lost. O came to Seattle looking for an apartment, but I had no idea where I was going.
I was walking down some street, hoping that I would find someone who would tell me how to get to downtown Seattle.
All of a sudden the bushes next to the sidewalk rustled and I stopped walking to see if someone was there. It made no sense to me, we had a full moon, so it was dark, and there was no wind, so if no one was there, why did the bushes rustle?
I quickly dismissed it and started walking again. Two seconds later, I felt wind on ONE side of my body, only one, and I heard someone whisper "Mortis." I had no idea, but those action movies always have someone whisper something in your ear when someone is about to kill you.
I was starting to get freaked out, but I just kept walking. Soon I saw someone else on the sidewalk.
"Excuse me!" I yelled out to him. He turned his head to me and smiled, so I ran up to him. "Do you know where downtown Seattle is? I need to check into a hotel," I said once I reached him.
"Yah, he said, "I was just headed there, would you like to come with me? My name is James by the way." Wow, he is probably one of those people that makes friend easily so he is less formal.
He started walking and I followed him. But after a few minutes, my attention was only on him and not our route.
Suddenly, James disappeared, I was shocked, and how was I supposed to find my way now. And how did James move so fast?
I turned around so that I could get out of the alley I was in, but James just appeared in front of me, now I was scared, what was he?
James smiled and walked towards me, I backed up. I also asked, "What are you?" surprised that my voice was normal.
James just smiled more, and kept backing me up.
The next thing I know, I get flung into a wall and feel a razor sharp pain in my neck. Then I blacked out, but I would never wake up again.
James' POV
Once Daisy hit the wall, I ran up to her and held her arms down so she would not struggle. It would not get anywhere, but when your prey struggles it gets annoying. Then I but her.
Daisy's blood was amongst the sweetest I ever had. It was rich, warm, and juicy. It was thick and rich, and it quenched my thirst remarkably well.
As I SLOWLY drained Daisy, the burning in the back of my throat dwindled down.
Once I was finished drinking Daisy, I took care of the body, and met up with Victoria and Laurent outside of town.
After a few minutes, we heard what would sound like thunder to a human's ears, but we know that it was a vampire baseball game.
Wanting to play we altered our course, not knowing what would happen after all.
