Day and Night One
"Matt? Hello?"
My head snapped up and I looked into the eyes of my friend, Ryuzaki. His dark eyes were opened wide, like they usually were. "Class is over, time to go home."
My mouth opened in a big O shape as a yawn escaped my mouth. "Yeah, yeah. I know... What did I miss this time?"
My other friend, Light, was present. He answered for me, being the top student in our high school. "You missed the lecture on-"
I cut him off, I didn't feel like listening anymore. "Ahh, no what, lets get home before the sun goes down. I'll survive missing one of that old bags lectures," I said, walking out with Ryuzaki and Light behind me.
"Yeah your right," Light started to say something. "My parents were talking about moving."
"Lots of people are," Ryuzaki commented. "I probably have it worst out of all of you, but my parents are staying just for him."
Thoughts wandered away from my friends as they chatted about our towns problem. The problem was growing bigger almost every week, some people are dying and most are moving away. If they can, that is. I, however, live alone and almost never go outside so I think I should be fine.
"Matt?" Light said. "The car is that way."Once we were outside the stuffy old school, Light pointed to his old, beat up gray car. Light's dad was going to work on it, but looks like he didn't keep his promise. Still, it drove well and I guess that's all that mattered to Light.
"Okay," I said and climbed inside the passenger seat, Light getting in behind the wheel and Ryuzaki in the back seat. Light was the only one of us who actually knew how to drive, and none of us liked the bus so he would give us all rides home.
"I hope Beyond had a good day..." Ryuzaki murmured.
A lump formed in my throat as I thought of Beyond. "He-He's still in middle school, right?"
"Actually, he's getting higher grades so he might be jumping to ninth grade earlier than I expected. Why?"
"I bet he still remembers last time," Light teased, watching the road.
I muttered under my breath. "Stupid vampire..."
"Don't blame him," Ryuzaki tried to comfort me, he was nicer than Light was most of the time. "He has no control over it."
"Hmph." I fixed my eyes out the window and continued, "I still blame him for putting two freaking holes in my neck."
Light pulled up outside the middle school where Beyond went. A bunch of kids were already standing around outside, but Beyond clearly stuck out. His hair was black and ruffled, like Ryuzaki, pale skin, like Ryuzaki, and he stood alone whereas most of the students stood in groups. But what anyone would notice right away would be those piercing red eyes of his.
Beyond saw Light's old car pull up and he walked slowly over to us, then opened the door and sat next to Ryuzaki. "Thanks for picking me up, Light." he said quietly, which meant something was up.
Beyond Birthday. Beyond for short. Ryuzaki's younger brother. They looked completely alike, expect that Ryuzaki was older than him and had gray eyes, not red. Plus, Ryuzaki didn't have fangs. Beyond did. I'll explain this-
Our town is also the home of Vampires. Unwillingly sharing our homes of course. If anyone was out at night, you're a guarantee snack for these blood-sucking monsters. Few of them, like Beyond, were once human and can go out in the sun. Some strong ones, I think, can go out in the sunlight so now your chances of becoming a snack are very high.
One of these scenarios happened to Beyond. He was out with some of his friends late at night playing man hunt when he was attacked by some deranged vampire and got bitten, thus turning him into one of those demons. Luckily, some of his friends showed up and helped him out, one of them beat the vampire with a stick until it stopped. Then everyone made sure to get home as fast they could. If they hadn't came, Beyond would've probably be dead by now. Then again, it was his own fault. He was out at night, when everyone around here knows to never go out at that time. Well, back to my story. Since Beyond wasn't killed, he simply turned into one.
See now, there are those who are vampires by birth, and those who are turned into said monster by one. The one that bit Beyond must've been a vampire by birth. Otherwise, he would've been fine.
And why I'm fine too.
Awhile back, when Beyond couldn't control it, I was hanging out with Ryuzaki and Beyond out of no where decided to go and bite me. Beyond apologized numerous times and I accepted his apology, but I'm still wary of him to this day.
"Its no problem, Beyond," Light said as the car pulled out of the middle school.
"Something wrong?" Ryuzaki asked his younger brother.
"Just a bunch of stupid kids..." Beyond muttered.
"Again?"
"Yeah... Today they decided to write all over my notebook 'Bloody Vampire'." Beyond's voice was low and dangerous, definitely not good. He's usually so...
"You told a teacher this, Beyond?" Ryuzaki asked.
"Yeah... She just scolded the boys but did nothing else 'cause she agreed with them! Apparently to them I've changed too much, I'm a bloody fucking vampire!" Beyond's voice was raising louder, I covered my ears. "It wasn't my fault, they don't have to go and keep reminding me! Why can't they all just shut up and leave me alone? Argh, I swear I'm going to kill them!" Beyond started shouting and punched at the seat in front of him, which happened to be mine.
Yeah, he's usually like that. Destructive, tough, loud.
"Beyond... we can hear you.. No need to shout," I said lowly.
"Shut it, gamer-boy!" He snapped at me. "How could you possibly understand what I'm going through? Everyday its always something because I'm a fucking vampire and I'm sick of it!"
I let out a sigh and tried to ignore his rant. No one really wanted to listen, but Beyond probably just wanted to let it all out. Ryuzaki finally interrupted him, with the usual I think.
"Beyond Birthday," he said, using the younger boys full name. He now had Beyond's full attention. Ryuzaki pointed to his neck. "I think you need some..."
Beyond stared at his older brother for a minute as if debating to have a snack or continue ranting. Without a second thought leapt at his older brothers neck and forcefully bit down. Ryuzaki winced a little, but it looked like he was used to it. "Sheesh, you don't have to be so aggressive..."
"Shwut uwp!" Beyond's reply sounded muffled.
Light glanced behind him, but then turned back to where he was driving. "Don't get blood on my car!"
"Trying not to, Light-kun," Ryuzaki said once Beyond pulled away. Beyond wiped his mouth and Ryuzaki asked, "Still fell like ranting?"
"No... not really..."
"Good."
Light pulled up at Ryuzaki and Beyond's house so they got out, waved good bye and said thanks for the ride once again. Now it was just Light and I.
"Hey, Matt?"
"Hm?"
"That new video game, its in stores now."
My heart raced. "Really? The one I've been talking about, 'Black Wars' is out?"
"Yeah, Video Coast just got some, Sayu saw them putting some games on the shelf." Light informed me. Sayu was his younger sister, also one of Beyond's friends- she was there the night he got bitten.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god," I repeated, "I've been waiting forever! I gotta get down there and buy one!"
"Not such a good idea," Light stated, pulling into the driveway of my house. "Its almost dark out. Do you wanna turn into one of those demons?"
My heart sank with my shoulders. "No... I don't. But I really want that game!"
"Buy it tomorrow then," Light suggested.
"How can you even say that? All the other geek's and losers will be getting they're copies tomorrow and won't be any left for me! I gotta get one now! While its still here!"
Light sighed and told me, "If you do go get one, remember- don't take that shortcut back."
"Shortcut? You mean that alley?" I asked, trying to think if there was anything else.
"Yeah, that one. Don't take that way back to your house, that's like suicide."
"I know, don't act like a mom," I joked and opened the car door. I waved bye to Light and let myself into my house. The door closed as Light drove away and only one thing came to my mind- Must get that game.
I sighed and hit my head on the wall, as if I was scolding myself. "No, no. Bad Matt. Don't kill yourself tonight." next thing I know, I'm talking to myself. "But... Black Wars... I've been waiting forever for that game. Maybe I could leave now and buy it- No! Don't! I refuse to get bitten again!" I sighed and put my hands out in front of me, like I was weighing a scale. "Black Wars," I said lifting up my right hand. "Death by Vampire," I lifted up my left hand.
Right hand won.
I grabbed my wallet out of my backpack, stuffed it into my pocket and headed out for Video Coast.
***Later***
"That stupid fucking store!" I cursed under my breath I left through the doors that inside had the longest line in the history of long lines. I grabbed one of the last copies of Black Wars and stood on line for who knows how long and by the time I was ready to pay it was dark out.
Great.
Now I get to walk home with probably a million Vampires following me!
Just fucking great.
"Lets see..." I spoke out loud at first as I walked. "I live a few blocks away, that alley by one of those stores should bring me around that- No. No alleyway." Light already told me not to go that, and I was determined to stick to what I said. But my feet contradicting everything and started walking towards the alley.
No, no, no, feet stop! I thought madly as my feet began to pick up speed. I sensed something behind me so I broke off into a run without meaning to. Then again, speed up, speed up!
I came to the alleyway and began to speed-walk my way through when I heard a voice behind me chuckle-
"Haha, what a dumb person you are. Don't you know you could killed if your out like that?"
My blood ran cold and I gulped, not daring to turn around. Instead, I murmured out weakly, "W-Who's there?"
I felt a hand on my shoulder spin me around and in a second I was pushed against the wall of the alley. The person who was there said to me, "Who's there? Why don't you open your eyes and take a look, fraidy cat."
I didn't even realize it- my eyes were closed like this guy said. I opened my eyes and saw a young man, probably around nineteen or twenty, blonde hair stopped right above his shoulders, and a long scar marred the right side of his face. His clothes were really anything black with a small rosary hung around his neck. The thing that strikes me odd was that he had blue eyes, not red like most vampires. Who is this guy?
"Are you a Vampire?" I said quietly.
The guy rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "No, I'm a rapist. Yeah I'm a vampire, smart one!"
I glanced up and down at the guy, "You could've been one..."
The guy knee'd me in the gut painfully and I doubled over with a groan. "Owww... what was.. What was that for?"
"Look, I'll be a nice guy and let you get out of here alive. I just want a snack," when I looked up I saw the guys eyes shone red through the darkness. A lump formed in my throat. Shit... I don't wanna die...
The guy rolled his eyes again and said, "Did you even hear me, idiot?"
"Huuuh?"
"I said I'll let you live, but I just want a snack."
My hand shot to my neck, "No way! I'm not letting you bite me!"
"You know," the guy started, drawing in closer to my neck, "I wasn't born like this, so your not gonna turn into someone like me- a blood sucking monster."
The way he said it sounded like he despised vampires as much I did. The guy grabbed my wrist that was holding my neck and guided it down by my waist. Next thing I know theres a throbbing pain in my neck. "Ah.. Owww!" I moaned but the guy quickly covered my mouth to stop any sound from escaping.
After what seemed like an eternity, or maybe just a heartbeat, the pain in my neck stopped and I didn't feel anything at all. I looked around but the guy who was just here was now gone. "Who.. Was that?" I said aloud.
The wind suddenly blew by, quire strongly actually. I know some stuff like this isn't true but I distinctly heard a voice in the breeze-
...Mello...
A/N Well? Is it likeable? Should I continue? Pleaaaase say something! I like this story and I wanna continue it but if its bad and not likeable then I won't continue. YOU ALL DECIDE!
