A Crazy Night Life

Chapter One: The Vampire of the California sun.

I was eighteen at the time when I found that vampires were real. I was an American citizen at the time, living with my family… I lived a somewhat happy life, despite my dissatisfactions… I was in love and happy, never dissatisfied with him, despite some of his oddities, that I sort of played a long with, such as his neck fetish… But you know… You should never trust anyone you meet on the internet, you never know who they are… or what they are…

It was a busy day on the California beach, and it was my first trip I had ever taken alone. I had gone to meet David, my internet friend, who, I was madly in love with from the time I was fifteen. As you can tell, I was a bit nervous. What if my hair wasn't in the right part? What if my skirt was too short and he thought I was a slut?

No, David would never think that of me. He was my best friend, the one who understood me the most, that knew of what I loved the most to what I just couldn't stand. You learn a lot from just talking to a person, just being their friend. Hell, we had done it for three years! And so we were to meet there, in California, alone, without the protection of my family.

It was the biggest and last mistake of my life.

"Hey, are you Alyric?" Asked a very pale, handsome David, the same David that was in the pictures, but I jus thought the flash made him look so pale in the pictures… I suppose not.

"Um, yeah," I giggled sticking out my arm for a hand shake. " I take it you must be David the dork." He smiled at the title I had given him when I was younger, then smiled and took my hand. Now instead of shaking my hand he pulled me into a hug. He was cold, despite the sun. Must have been the air conditioner from his car, or not…

"I've waited for three years to hug you, and you were only going to give me a handshake?" He laughed, but when I didn't, he frowned. "What's wrong?" He asked sounding concerned.

"I'm just a bit nervous, to tell you the truth I'm a bit scared too, David." I said in all seriousness. "For all I know, you could be a serial killer, and it really hurts me to say that, but, it could all be an act…" He sighed, and frowned at me with sad blue eyes.

"Alyric, you know me, we've talked for three years, I love you like a best friend. Look, maybe three years wasn't enough time, I'll drive you back home tomorrow…" He said with a tone of disappointment in his voice. He slowly turned away with slumped shoulders and curtly walked to his 1957 convertible.

"David.. Wait… I'm sure that I'll get over it, I'm just nervous you know, I'm already here, so why not enjoy ourselves?" I asked with a sincere smile on my face. He turned back around, looking at in my eyes.

"Ok…." He said.

Now let me tell you, the houses in Malibu are gorgeous, whether they be small or large. His, was wonderful. It was four stories tall, with 4 and ½ bathrooms, and six bedrooms, a library, a study, and a fire place with a large, comfortable sofa. Wonderful.

"Wow, it's even bigger than I thought," I told David. He chuckled and winked at me flirtatiously.

"So, you want to see my room?" He asked. I had wanted this for two years, to be with him in his bed, as a lover. I was madly in love with him after all. So I simply smiled, and said:

"Sure." He took my left hand and pulled me close to his body, then wrapped his left arm around my waist and put his thumb on my thyroid cartilage with his fingers on the back of my neck.

"Oooh, David likes Adam's apples," I teased, he laughed, then turned my head away from him and lifted it up so that my neck was fully revealed.

"I like that beautiful throat of yours, Miss Alyric." He whispered. Of course I shook, but I didn't know if it was with fear or with lust. I think now, that it was neither, but pure instinct that something was very wrong. But like an idiot, I dismissed it.

"David I-" I stuttered but instead he took me to his room, and he did something I thought was very odd…

"Ouch, David, why'd you bite me, I didn't think you were into that whole vampire thing, gosh…" I said, in fact the pain had completely killed the mood. So I went to push him away, but, he only smiled at me, and pulled pulled me closer. Then I got really scared, but I decided it wasn't time to fight yet, I was still hoping that he was the guy I thought he was… but then, he bit me, and I felt his teeth penetrate my skin, and then, I knew it was over.

I didn't even know he was a vampire yet, I just thought he was just some freaky cannibalistic serial killer. Yet, I couldn't find it in me to scream… and so that night, my life ended. However, I didn't expect to wake up the next night.
