The Finding of a Vampire and Knowledge of the Lastit Stone

It was a bright Friday morning in Japan as a long back haired girl and a short haired red head were running towards Tokyo High. While running the red head yelled back to the black haired girl, "Hurry up, Salina-chan, we are going to be late!"

Salina shouts back to the Red head, "Don't be yelling at me for running so slow Et-chan, it's not my fault!" glaring forwards at Etsuko who was starting to become further ahead every second.

"Well, if you're not going to stop running slowly then I'll just have to drag you there!" Etsuko shouted and grabbed Salina's arm passing the school gate and dashing into the class room right after the bell had rang. As they enter the class room they are met with a glare from the teacher and he yells out, "You two are late, what is your excuse?"

As Salina remained silent, Etsuko took charge and convincingly lied, "I can explain! Salina tripped and I had to save her life because it was just that gosh darn life threatening!"

The teacher rolled his eyes and said "Just, please take your seat ladies!"

After the school day was completed Etsuko and Salina chattily walked back home giggling and talking about normal teenage girl things. Salina's father was historian on Tokyo's history and learning the mystic ways of the ying-yang that balance the World and her mother was a cop. Salina's mother was not very protective with her daughter though, because she believed if she kept holding on to her daughters' hand, she would be dependant for the rest of her life.

As soon as they arrived at her home, Salina grabbed on to one of the historian books of her fathers and began to study the text. Etsuko looked on in wonderment asking, "Why are you reading your fathers books? Isn't he going to need them?"

"My dad said I'm allowed to read them when he isn't using them." Salina said as she continued to flip through the pages of the history book. Suddenly she saw a picture of a stone that struck her interest and showed it to Etsuko. "Check this out! The Lastit Stone is a powerful stone that was handed down through many angels, one of the holders was Princess Lina of Tieko, now known as Tokyo. The stone gave the holder the power to balance people's hearts, and reincarnate the holder." As soon as Salina finished read the paragraph, she snapped shut the book and Etsuko responded quickly.

"Hold up let me read that for minute, I want to read about the Lina angel." She grabbed the book flipped through the pages and read out loud, "Lina the angel was also the princess of Tieko and holder of Lastit Stone. Apparently she was to be married to angel of royalty and light, Lord Shitsune, but it was heard that she was caught in a love triangle with a certain vampire. She fed this vampire with her own blood since she was invulnerable to vampire bites, so she couldn't be turned into one. Lina was then protected by this vampire until Shitsune got rid of him locking him in an underground chamber. She was later killed by the ruthless warrior by name of Yuki."

While the girls were still reading, there was a knock at the door. It was Salina's Father. "Sorry to disturb you two…I just came to find a book." Salina closed it again and gave it to her father. "Thanks Salina, I'll give it back to you to read later."

Etsuko lay on the bed and Salina looked out at her window then thought "What was that vampires name? It never mentioned it in the book. I wonder. . . . "

Later that evening her mother came home and asked Salina and the still present Etsuko to run an errand for her. They had to go to the local Dry Cleaners to pick up a suit for her. Salina and Etsuko were on their way to the dry cleaners, Salina equipped with a cell phone but on the way there they started to get followed.

"Do you have a feeling that we are being watched?" Etsuko asked feeling a chill going down her back with the common paranoia.

"Well it is dark, and I feel like we are being watched, so we better keep close eye if anyone is following us." added Salina frowning, she to feeling the chill.

Then out of no where, a thug came in front of the two and asked "What are you two lovely ladies up to?"

Etsuko responded, trying to sound unafraid but her eyes betraying her, "That's none of your concern."

The thug laughed and responded "well boys, looks like we got some tough ones" then two other thugs came from behind and started to chuckle.

Making a dash to the right out of reach for the thugs, Salina shouted, "Run for it!" as Etsuko quickly dashed to the right.

Then Thugs came running after them shouting, "You can't out run us!" Trying to decide which girl to go after, quickly picking the slower of the two, Salina.

As Etsuko took off to another street as Salina went through the park as quickly as she could. The thugs continue to follow Salina getting closer by the second. Salina thought to herself as she continued to run, "Why? What do they want from me?" Soon, she became short of breath and tried to find a quick fix. She quickly spots a door, opening it peering inside. It seemed to lead to an underground tunnel. Salina jumps in desperately slamming the door in her own face and tumbles down the stairs, luckily unharmed. "I hope that it didn't make too much of a riot."

As she gets up she looks up to see a creature strapped to the wall, its wings were staked, and eyes blind-folded, looking sad in the dreary tunnel. Salina, feeling some what in a trance, walks up to it un-stakes the wings, and uncovers the blindfold from its eyes. The creature, suddenly, opens its closed eyes peering down expectantly at Salina. At first Salina tired to back away from it but the wings drew her near him quickly capturing her in an odd embrace and the creature said "You're just the right person to become my meal." It bared its fangs and sank them into Salina's neck.

Just at the same moment, the thugs arrived at door and saw the creature draining Salina's blood. The largest and leader-like one starred on with wide eyes saying, "Oh god, this shit is just messed up." Quickly regretting it.

The vampire released Salina and looked at the thugs with his bloody mouth. "Kill it!" said one of the thugs. The Vampire released himself from the straps and used his raven claw to wipe off the thugs' heads. Then he looks to the girl, waiting for something to happen. Salina slowly got up and the vampire grabbed her neck. He looked in her eyes and notice it didn't turn red, and he asked "Why didn't you change?"

Etsuko ran down the stairs screaming out in fright, "Salina, are you down there?!?!?!?"

The vampire saw Etsuko and whispered to Salina in her ear as light it was almost a thought, "I'll be back and I will find you for more blood." The vampire left and picked up a sheathed-sword with him.

Etsuko came down the tunnel and found Saline on ground still breathing. "I'll call for help." Etsuko said as she kneeled down next to Salina pulling the cell phone from the stunned girl's pocket. As this was all happening, Salina stroked her neck where the vampire had bitten her and thought to herself "Strange how I didn't change, how was I immune to it?"
