When I woke up to a ringing cell phone, I miraculously found myself back in the room. I hope that it was just all a horrible dream. Or nightmare. I grabbed the cell phone to find that it was a call from Haruhi. What now? Can't she leave me alone for one minute. I grudgingly grabbed the cell phone and answered the call.
"Where the hell are you?" I had to hold my cell phone at least a good foot away from my poor ears. I had somehow learned to hold the phone away from my ear whenever she called. "Do you know how long we've been waiting?" No, I don't. My eyes looked at the screen. Crap. It was already ten thirty? That must've meant that they've been waiting for an hour and a half for me. "You better get here in five minutes or its the death penalty!" She hung up, leaving the dial tone to let its existence to be known. I grumbled to myself and stumbled out of bed. I really needed some water, because my throat was parched.
Remember when I said that I was hoping that it was all a crazy dream?
Well, I was proven wrong. My eyes still had a reddish hue, and my mouth was still caked with dried blood. And not anyone's dried blood, nope, the blood of the one and only Itsuki Koizumi, the esper. Holy crap. My eyes weren't noticeable unless you look really closely. That was good enough. I washed my face and dressed myself before pedaling to the train station. Where I was inevitably going to meet my doom. The sun didn't bother me really, which as Haruhi said it wouldn't, and I got to the station in record time.
I don't really recall her saying anything like me having super speed or super strength. Maybe she did, and I really wasn't listening. I was probably ignoring her the whole time. All is fair in-you know what, let's not go with that saying. Anyway, she ignores me, I ignore her. Though I can't do it for long because she'll start screeching in my ear and pulling my tie. I hate it when she does that. She's lucky that she doesn't have to wear a tie.
"You're late! Penalty!" I knew it. We sat in the usual cafe` at our usual seat. Things couldn't get any more ordinary then they already were. So, let's review our group, shall we? Koizumi an esper, Nagato and alien, Asahina a time-traveler, Haruhi a God of some sorts, and me a vampire. We officially are a club of non-humans. Great. We ate our food and I paid for the bill. One day she's going to rob me poor with the way she eats, and how much she eats. Awesome. Not only had she turned me into a vampire overnight, she had also deprived me of any happiness that happens to come my way. And it doesn't very often, let me tell you that.
Anyway, I ended up getting paired with the esper. Just what I needed. He gave an easy smile and we set off in the Northern direction while the girls' went the opposite way.
"So, have you come to terms that you're no longer human?" He asked. I sighed. Why don't you say that a little bit louder so everyone in the world can hear us because that's exactly what I want.
"I guess." I mumbled. Why didn't I say something wittier? That would've stopped him from laughing aloud. That bugged me a bit. How can he be so nonchalant about everything that's bad? You nearly die, he laughs it off. He finds out that Haruhi turned me into a vampire, he smiles and thinks that everything's going to be okay. Why can't my life be that easy, huh?
"Are you thirsty?" The question did its magic of bothering me. Was I thirsty for blood or water? I bit my lip and looked at him. I guess my expression told him everything. "Okay, let's go." He led me to an abandoned factory not too far from where we were previously. He pulled out the pocketknife again.
"What are you doing?" I grabbed his wrist. "Last time you pulled a trick like that I nearly killed you!" I forgot to take in account of how strong I was; there was a loud snap and a cry of pain from the esper in front of me. The knife fell from his hands and cut his other wrist. Blood seeped out from the small wound. I backed away from him and into a wall, trying to overcome my thirst. I wasn't going to take it. I apparently said this out loud.
"If you don't, you'll die." He said. I squeezed my eyes shut as he held his wrist closer to me. More blood had dripped from his wound, making me feel nauseous. He finally got fed up with this and jammed my mouth onto his wrist. It didn't help that I was about to say something, and therefore had my mouth open. Blood flooded into my mouth. I couldn't hold out any longer and swallowed the blood as if I was on the verge of dying. Which I probably was. If I were a normal human, blood would've tasted horrible and would've killed me if I drank too much. Well, I was a vampire, and it tasted sweet and delicious. I hardly noticed Koizumi looking down at his right hand. Oh, right. I had sprained his wrist. How does this guy keep forgiving me so easily? Or maybe he doesn't and hates me with all his heart.
It took me a few seconds to realize that I was drinking blood, and I pulled away quickly, wiping the blood on my sleeve. Koizumi managed to stand upright this time and his heart wasn't beating incredibly fast to give him more blood as it did last night. The wound on his wrist was now followed by to small holes, and healed as if there wasn't anything there in the first place. I gaped at the sight I just saw.
"What? Oh, my wrist? If you drink blood from my broken one, it'll heal."
"Wait, what?" This was so confusing.
"Oh, right, you don't know. Basically your fangs are coated in some sore of chemical, and if there is a wound in a certain spot you bite on, it'll heal and look like nothing happened in the first place." He said with an easy smile. God, how does he do that? I sighed and bit his other wrist before pulling away quickly. The bone snapped back in place with a sickening crack, and he moved it around for a few test runs. We continued our conversation.
"So, I can't turn people into vampires, right?"
"I don't know really. Maybe you have to give them some of your blood to turn them into one after biting them." What a cheesy-hold on for a second. Haruhi wanted vampires to be menacing, right? So, she probably thought of the cheesiest thing she could come up with. Good grief. "Your eyes turn red when you drink blood." The esper said.
"They do?" I thought that they were supposed to change color when they're really thirsty. Oh wait, that's in Twilight. Dammit.
"Yes. Though, it isn't very noticeable when you're out in the sunlight. It looks close to your usual color." That's good. I don't need Haruhi commenting on my red eyes. She'll definitely think that there's something going on here. "Well, let's head back to the others, shall we?"
