Chapter two
"Yuge, what happen last night? Joey asked to me the next morning.
"A man got attacked last night." I said as I pack my bag with medical warps, water, a apple, and a jacket. I was about to walk out the door when Joey block my way.
"What attacked the man? If a man was attacked last night then call 911 and let them handle it."
"911 will not be able to handle the thing that attacked the man. If you are going to be stubborn about it then come with me. Me tell you and you seeing it with your own eyes are two different things. If not then get out my way." I said sternly. Joey grab his jacket at once and follow my out the door. I lead the way thru the woods to the clearing. The woods were deathly quiet. We came to the clearing in no time. I jump over the bushes to enter it as Joey just push his way thru. The man and the vampire are long gone, leaving no trace behind. Joey start to look on one side of the clearing while I look on the other. It didn't take me long to find something red on the ground near some bushes that look like they were push out the way in haste. "Joey! I just found some blood form the man! He went into the woods!" I yell to him as I push my way in the woods. Joey was on my hells in no time. We follow the blood trail thru the woods to a hallow tree. Jetting out of the entrance was a pair of legs. The jeans on the legs were torn and rip, blood stains were splattered on the jeans.
"You wasn't kidding about a man being attacked last night." Joey said behind. I ignore him and when in to the tree. When I got a look on the man's face, I cuss my heart out at the vampire. The man that was attacked was Pharaoh Atem. He was passed out and had two holes on his neck that was healing quickly. He had a thin blanket over him. I shake my bag off and got out the wrappings. I place my hand on his neck ad pulled back right away. Atem was cold, stone cold. I check for a pulse and found non. I cuss again and got out of the tree. Joey join my cussing when he saw Atem. After five minutes of straight cussing , Joey stops to catch his breath. My cussing went out into a full out rant. My back was turn to the tree when Joey try to get my attention.
"YUGE!CALM DOWN FOR GOD'S SAKE!" He yelled over my ranting. I didn't stop and I didn't calm down. All of a sudden, a pair of cold hands hit my shoulder, scaring me out of my rant. I look at Joey who was looking behind me. I then look over my shoulder to find Atem look at me with half close red eyes, the same red eyes of the vampire. Sleep still hung heavily on Atem's features. He yawns, showing the world his gleaming white fangs. The blanket hang over his bare shoulders like a cape.
"Please enlighten me why you are ranting this early in the morning." he said slowly before yawning again. I was so shocked that I couldn't answer him. Joey answer for me.
"He was ranting on the fact that he thought you were dead." Atem gave a smirk at the answer.
"I am, well mostly. I am undead now. But that still doesn't give you a reason to wake me up so early. You know I hate being disturb very early in the morning." He said as he let me go. I turn around and shake Atem until his teeth rattled. A half asleep Atem will take nothing serious as the fully awake Atem would. Atem quickly came around after the second time I shook him senseless.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO ME?" He yelled as pull out of my grip.
"Waking you up. Do you remember anything from last night?" I said calmly at the piss off Pharaoh.
"Not much, all I can remember is a girl, you, the smell of blood and a deep fiery pain." he said more calmly as he looks around. "How did I get here?"
"Your guess is as good as mine." I said as Atem step forward in my spot of sunshine. The light didn't burn him at all.
"I thought vampires can't be in the sun." Joey said breathlessly. Atem stare at him as if he just came out of the woods.
"What in bloody hell give you that idea? Unless you are talking to me, I'm not a blood sucking vampire." I muffled my laughter at the disbelieving face that was on Atem's face. His fiery gaze came back to me. I took my phone out of my pocket and said "cheese!" at Atem who drop his jaw to the ground. I took a picture and flip the screen around to Atem for him to see. "OH MY GODS I AM ONE!" He yelled. I swear he was going to kill somebody if it wasn't for the fact that a weird look came in to his eyes. "Hungry." He muttered. I took the hint and dove into Joey. We hit the ground behind a bush.
"What was that for?" Joey whispered when I shush him.
"Atem's looking for a meal." That is all I had to say for Joey to understand. I look thru the leafs of the bush to find Atem was gone. A animal squeal ring out near by, sending my neck hair to go on stand. After a few minutes of waiting, Atem came out of a bush, his lips and chin cherry red with blood.
"Come on out you guys, I wasn't going to bite you anyway." He said as his nose flare. His red eyes lock on to where me and Joey was hiding. I stand up, dragging Joey behind me.
"You weren't?" I ask him. He shook his head.
"You're friends of mine. I might be a blood suck vampire now, but doesn't mean I'll act like one." he said with a stern look. After talking to him little while more, we came to a agreement. Atem could stay with us as long as he cleans himself up after his hunts. When we were walking home, the threeof us, I thought: Great, I'm living with a vampire now who is my dark side, just great.
