Chapter 2
Luke
I can't believe I just did that. Oh, god! What was Nat going to say! Crap! I had just bitten my girlfriend. Sounds silly right, well not exactly. You see, now she's a vampire. You get me now? God, god, god! What am I going to do? I could kill her? No, I couldn't do that. I could leave her. No, she's too strong she'd hurt someone. This could take awhile. I know. I could run away from Nat and take her with me. He'd never know! Brilliant Luke! Oh, no. Here she comes. I'll have to tell her now or never.
"Hi, Frankie!"
"Hey Luke, wow! Can you believe it? I'm a vampire like you! I feel so controlled. Aren't I supposed to be bloodthirsty?"
"No, that just a legend Frankie. Now you need to listen."
"Ok"
"Nat is going to literally kill me when he finds out what I've done."
"What have you done?"
"Turned you!"
"Oh, right. Yeah, sorry. Carry on."
"Well, we have to run away or Nat is going to murder me. And before you ask, killing a vampire is possible."
"Ok, er. Where should we go?"
"Somewhere rainy, where our pale skins will match."
"And so we don't burn in the sunlight?" she said shaken. She was a right dumbass sometimes.
"No … We don't burn, Frankie. Legends. No, we have to go somewhere rainy and dark so we don't glow in the sunlight."
"Glow?"
"Yes, we glow. We literally produce a visible aura in the sunlight. People will know were different."
"Oh."
"Come on, Nat is looking for me, we need to leave now."
"But my family!"
"No, they wont recognise you anymore. You're different in so many ways. No time for a goodbye as well, he's close."
"Ok, well we could go to Lewis Town. It's dark and rainy there, I did a geography project about it a while ago."
"Right, to Lewis Town."
We ran for about four hours where we soon enough came to the Lewis Town border. This town smelled nice and woody. And everyone was pale. We'd fit in here nicely. But I wasn't sure I could stand forever with Frankie. Sure she was beautiful. Her long red hair hung to her back in pre-raphelite style curls. Her now silky complexion clashed against the darkness of her eyes. She was hungry. Well we'd find someone here, probably some old hermit lounging on the kerb. I hated eating humans. It was the only part about being a vampire I detested. It made me feel like the monster. Was there any other way?
And that's when I saw her. Driving down the road in an old Toyota. Her flame red hair, the same colour as Frankie's, caught my eye immediately. Some blond highlights were here and there around her hair and her big eyes cut through the glass on the car window. Her fringe covered one eye, making her look like a Cyclops teenager. A very cute Cyclops. Black eyeliner ringed her eyes, flicked out at the sides. And a nose ring hung from the bit between her nostrils. Her delicate face leaned gently against her hand. Who was she?
