Subdued
Chapter 1
Lana
I jerked myself off of the ground and gazed around the darkened forest. Everything was the same, couldn't have happened long ago.
Being bitten by a vampire really ruins your day. It hurts like hell and leaves you with a hunger that seems unending.
As I stood up and again checked my surroundings, I found my self catching the scent of blood. I looked to the ground, where a scarlet puddle was staining the grass. My blood, I was surprised he didn't lick it up, the freak.
Jase, his name no longer brought feeling of love and desire. No, it now left me with feelings of disgust, hate and rage. I wanted to bring him the same pain he gave me.
I wanted him dead. I wanted to rip his head off. He had killed me, taken away my life, my humanity, without so much as a second thought.
The thought of my human existence brought up memories of things I would never again be permitted to do. I could already feel my body changing, adapting to my new nature.
I could feel my strength, my muscles flexing as I moved and tried them out. I punched a tree. My fist tore through the bark. My skin already was beginning to look flawless. I bet if I had a mirror, my eyes would be an unnatural red. I was a vampire.
I closed my eyes, vampire, something I had once thought was cool, fascinating. But now that I was one, I felt nothing. An emptiness filled me, I had to start over, never again could I lead a normal life. All because of Jase.
He won't get away with this, I thought. I will find him, and I will put him through the same hell he had caused me.
But, Jase was a wanderer, he may not even be in the city anymore. I would have to track him. I don't know where he's off to, or, more importantly, how to even kill him.
Luckily, I think I know just the person who will.
I began running out of the forest, my legs pumping, I was sprinting at impossible speeds. I was soon out, the city, my home, was soon looming ahead. I glanced at it sadly. I would never see any friends or family I'd ever known there again. That only fueled my anger towards Jase. I gave my poor town one last longing look then bolted away into the uncertain darkness.
Jase
I was now far away from the town. It was behind me and I shouldn't look back, that was what I had always done. But I couldn't get it out of my head, couldn't get her out of my head.
I had briefly thought that maybe I could love her. Maybe she was a girl I could spend my existance with. But the scent of her blood seduced me, lured me with its luscious smell.
Lana, I thought. She was as easy to manipulate as any other human. She trusted me because I was beautiful, because I seemed so normal, and most importantly because she thought I loved her, because she thought I was the good guy.
Now that Lana was dead, I felt a strange sadness. I'd tricked hundreds of people and killed them before. But Lana had been the only one I'd fallen in love with.
It was probably sick and twisted that it took her death to make me realize it. I thought of the cruel things I'd said to her before she'd died. How I'd broken her heart.
I stopped on the roof top I was currently running on. I walked over to the ledge and gazed down at a new city and a thousand new possible victims.
I looked down the other edge of the rooftop. It was an alley, I thought about trying to commit suicide by jumping off, even though I knew it wouldn't work. I put my head in my arms.
I really wished I had never even went to that town and met Lana. I stood back up and jumped of my perch on the ledge. I landed directly in front of a man with a bag of groceries.
"Jesus!" He yelled as I appeared in front of him. He g=looked up at the roof then back at me. "Are you crazy? You could have been killed! Or worse you could have landed on me and killed me!" He yelled indignant of my carelessness regarding him. I just hissed in response and opened my mouth wide enough for him to see my fangs. He dropped his bag and took a step back. "What…What are you?" He asked fearfully, no longer mad at me. I held up a hand. "
"I'm not in the mood, let's just get this over with." I said as I slammed him into the brick wall of the building. He whined and slumped to the ground. I pulled him into the alley and disposed of him quickly.
After feeding, I closed my eyes and lifted my face to the sky. I really hate my life, I thought miserably.
