Evil Ed?
The Emcee: Okay this is an Evil Ed story. I saw the movie Fright Night there other day and got obsessed with Evil Ed. He's like me, only he's a guy. But I don't mind, cuz you just gotta love Evil Ed! Anyways, on with the story! R&R.
Ed's POV
The night looks so bright now. No matter where I go, I'll still see through it. It's...it's deafening. I've always wonder what it'd be like, to be a vampire. Okay, so I'm not the best there is, but hey! I'm still young. And I've got all the time in the world.
That's depressing. Having eternal life but no one to share it with. Hell, I'd kill to go see Charley, but he's probably stake me on sight. But...he wouldn't do that to his best buddy...would he? If I went to see him, would he kill me? Damn it! This is all so difficult.
Alright, I've made up my mind. I'll go see Charley. Try to talk with him, if I can. I'm walking down a street; I only have six more blocks to go until I get there. But what if he isn't home? I stop walking. Maybe I should go back...No. It's too late for second guessing(1). I've gotta do this.
Five more blocks and then I'm at Charley's. The moon is out, added light to the already lit streets. It's seemed like ages since I walked these every streets, in daylight. So long ago, even though it's barely been a year. There are puddles lining the street. Guess it must've rained sometime today. I look at my reflection. Woah, I barely recognized myself. I look so pale and sad...
Three more blocks. I can't believe I'm actually going to do this. God, I gotta be crazy, or something close to it. I could just send him a letter, that would be easier. But I'd have to get stamps and the post office is only open during the day. Well, I'm one block away from my friend or my killer. Which ever Charley feels like being first. Even though we were friends while I was alive. So there's no reason not to be anymore right?
Right outside his door, I knock, letting my nervousness show. I look around me then back to the door as it opens. Charley's standing there, looking shocked.
"Ed. W, what are you doing here?" Geez, he sounds nervous.
"I just wanted to stop by, say hello. After all, we are still friends right?"
"No. We're not."
"Now why do you say that?" That hurt, it really did.
"You're a vampire and you're evil. Does that give you a clue?"
"Ah, now come on Brewster. I just wanted to see how my best buddy was doing. Y'know, talk some, like we used to. Guess that doesn't mean shit now that I'm "evil".Should've known not to come..." I start walking away. I felt like crying somewhat. I really did. I mean, anyone would, if their best friend just told them to get lost cause you're a vampire. I was almost off his walkway when he called to me.
"Ed. Wait..." I turned around, to look at him. Charley came towards me, looking at me worriedly. "Come on inside. It's supposed to rain soon. Just don't try anything. Got it?"
"Got it."
We went on inside. It was nice, for a single guy living on his lonesome. And it looked warm and cozy too. Which is good for me, since I'm used to sleeping on cold, hard floors in warehouse buildings. I sat down, Charley sat down too, looking at me.
"What happened to you? You look like hell."
"I haven't eaten for a few days. And I don't have a place to stay. Well, not if you count the warehouses I sleep in."
"Man, that's gotta be rough."
"You don't know the half of it."
We sat in silence for awhile. I felt warmer already. After what seemed like a long time, Charley spoke up, breaking the silence.
"If you need a place to stay for a few days, you could stay here. As long as you don't get all..."
"Evilish?" I finished his sentence for him. He nodded sheepishly.
"Don't worry Charley. Since humans are hard to tackle down, I hold off on animals."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Look at me, Brewster. I'm not exactly someone who can take down a big guy. So I've gotten used to smaller mammals."
"Well, that's fine with me. You can stay in the basement." I gave him a look. "It's not that bad. At least there's carpet on the floor."
The Emcee: ok. How was that for chapter one?
(1) I got that line from Defying Gravity. Hey, what can I say? I'm a wicked fan!
