Yeah, that was a crappy summary wasn't it?
I do not own Vampire Knight.
The December chill caused me to burrow my hands further in the pockets of my dark red trench coat. It was my favorite and it has been in my possession for a couple of years now never failing to warm me in the harsh winters. My hurried pace slowed down when a shadow crossed the alleyway opening in front of me.
I know cliché right?
A twenty-year old girl taking a short cut to her apartment down a dark alley in the middle of the night only happens in those cheesy horror flicks that my friend always makes me watch with her since she's too afraid to watch them alone. But I usually take this route since the café I work at is two blocks away. No, I don't wait tables at Café Nouveau. It's a cute little French themed café that the owner actually pays me to play the piano in. According to her I had all the right qualities. I was a skinny girl with nice legs that could pull off short cocktail dresses when they hosted important events. I had long flowing brown hair and strange colored eyes (they were a honey color with a reddish brown hue encircling the pupil). I actually had talent to play the piano. And the final and most obvious reason was that I was hired was because I was French myself and had an appealing accent to boot. If she hadn't been a woman happily married I would've thought she was hitting on me with all the staring and compliments she gave me during the interview.
I chuckled remembering her reaction when I told her that I wasn't married or dating anyone. But she admired my independent attitude. Café Nouveau was like a little family and we all watched each others bac-
Something heavy tackled me to the ground knocking the wind from my lungs. A mugging? A rapists? A serial killer? The person behind me could have been a number of horrible things but when I turn my head I found something unexpected.
An old lady.
"Wha-?" before I could voice my confusion the elderly woman had bent down and latched onto my neck breaking the skin and sending fire threw my veins. AHHH! A silent scream stuck in my throat and I struggled against my attacker. Her hands grabbed onto my arms pinning them to the ground with long talons lodged into my wrist. Where the hell does a little old lady get nails like that! In an act of desperation I slammed the side of my head into her face hearing a crunch from her nose breaking and a pop from my eardrum busting.
The woman flew off my back with an animalistic screech clutching at her bloodied face. Seeing my chance I ran down the alley and onto the empty street holding my hand against my neck to stop the blood flowing freely from the wound there. A slow insistent burning was creeping throughout my whole body from the two puncture wounds in my neck. What the hell was that? Was she some vampire? Because she didn't look as good as Edward Cullen!
Pulling my phone out of my pocket I had all the intention of calling 911 but when I looked at the black screen I saw the vampire/old lady running after me in the reflection. Picking up my speed I spotted a park a little farther down and ran to it for cover. Maybe I can hide somewhere?
Ducking under a small bridge that ran through the park I pulled out my phone again and hastily punched in three numbers. I wasn't afraid so my hands weren't trembling as I held the phone up to my good ear. In all the scary movies that I watched with my friend the people most likely got killed because they were panicking in a scene like this. I just need to keep a cool head and calm do-
"We're sorry; you are out of the service area to make a call. Please move to a better location and try again." The recorded voice of a woman played back.
"Damn it!" I brought my hand up to my mouth and froze hoping my outburst hadn't attracted the wrong kind of attention. Holding my phone to the side I scanned the area with the blank screen. Trees, bushes, and bench all clear. Hopefully that monster, because that sure as hell wasn't a human with those glittering red eyes, gave up and left. Allowing my tense shoulders to relax I let out a muffled scream when a hand closed over my mouth suddenly.
"Quiet kid if you know what's good for you." The woman hissed all of a sudden in front of my face. "I'm hungry and you've already been bitten so I either drain you now or you suffer later. This is the first time I've had blood in a while and I'm not letting my chance slip away."
"Get off Grandma!" I yelled out in English so she could understand that I wasn't on the menu tonight. I bite her hand and tasted blood. The burning in my body suddenly flared and I let out a scream of agony as I came close to passing out from the pain. With a last burst of energy I stood up and threw her, along with myself since I was still biting her, into the river behind her. Instead of floating to the top like I had predicted we continued to sink, and sink, and sink. It seemed as if there weren't a bottom. The cold water clashed with the heat emanating from my body and I thrashed around wildly until the lack of oxygen started to get to me and my movements turned sluggish.
My eyes started to close but a voice brought me back to semi-consciousness.
"Sorry, it seems I got out of hand."
I stared blankly at the lady floating in front of me, all energy already having left my body.
Where did that wrinkly old vampire lady go?
"I am a witch of time and space and I have power over the fabric of the universe." She moved closer to me, giving off a soft light that allowed me to see her in the dark water. Now that she seemed in her right mind again she was actually pretty, reminding me of Glinda from the 'Wizard of Oz'. I guess she turns into the wicked witch when she's cranky. "I'm afraid I've been without a meal for some time now and I lost control for a while. Sadly I have bit you and you will transform into a vampire but since you managed to obtain some of my blood as a result you are going to be a very powerful vampire. I cannot allow a being as strong as you into this world so I will have to transport you to a world where there are others similar to keep balance." She touched my forehead and I began to lose consciousness.
"I'm so sorry."
Don't worry I'm going to get to the Vampire Knight world next chapter.
