The Past: Memories Before the Night
Jennifer twirled the flag pole with finesse in her hands eyeing Anita with exuberance while Anita smiled back.
They had become friends during the beginning of the school year when Jennifer had "transferred" from her old school to Devils Kettle High. Each with their own separate and secret motivation.
As the rally finished Jennifer changed out of her Flag Gear and went to Anita's Locker.
"Hey Needy.."
"Hey Jennifer…" Anita said frowning slightly.
"You Know I don't like it when you call me that.."
Jennifer smiled
"I'm just messing with you....Anita"
Anita grinned eyeing Jennifer in amusement
"We'll see how long that lasts"
Jennifer rolled her eyes.
"Needy just rolls off the tongue more you know?"
Jennifer played with her heart shaped clan necklace watching Anita.
Anita blushed averting her eyes.
"Oh and hey what are you doing tonight? There's a band playing at the Melody Lane bar that I'd think you'd like.." Jennifer said casually.
Anita smiled
"I have no plans… so I guess I'm up for it"
"Sweet..I'll pick you up around eight then?"
Anita nodded.
"Great, see you then" Jennifer said walking away jauntily.
The thought
"Tonight I will finally be able to feed"
playing through her mind.
Anita watched her for a moment, forgetting the plans that she had made since she had discovered what Jennifer was, earlier on in the year. And then she remembered once more.
The thought
"Tonight I will slay her"
Playing through her mind.
The day went by quickly and soon it was night and Anita still hadn't found anything to wear.
She turned looking at the clock in her room that read 7:52pm
And cursed under her breath.
~What the hell are you doing?
You're going to the bar tonight to Slay her not date her~
Anita thought frowning at herself in the mirror.
She sighed finally deciding on a black jacket and a dark purple shirt just as the door bell rang outside.
"I'm coming!"
Anita yelled knowing Jennifer's acute ears could hear her.
She took one last glance at herself in the mirror shaking her head,
went downstairs and opened the door.
As the door opened Jennifer smiled giddily.
The sweet scent of Anita's blood overpowering her so much she could barely give an answer when Anita said laughing
"Wow what drugs have you been taking?"
Jennifer breathed in ignoring her momentarily and then said
"None yet…we'll see by the end of the night"
Anita frowned as her heart sped up in fear.
But quickly regained her composure and smiled
"Let's go."
They went outside of the house and headed to Jennifer's car.
