Phantom is a newly born red eyed vampire and after travelling/trying to find a place to call his own, he settles in the Forest outside of the small town of Amity.
A/N: What's up my bitches? /shot.
No really. I told you all it would be a while before I cranked out another chapter. Don't hate me for trying to make a living. The only days I really have to type are the days my boyfriend is at work. He always wants to spend time with me and gets upset when I do anything else really. In other news, I just moved to Illinois from hot-ass Arizona so I've been settling down and getting stuff unpacked.
Whatevs. I'm here typing now. Take my blood, sweat and tears.
Swaq: Ahhhhh! You found me! I must hide! Hide from everyone who knows me! I'm just kidding. I love you Swabster!
Chapter 2: Vampire Hunters suck, no seriously. They do.
Phantom
Sunlight streamed from in between the tree leaves as Phantom groaned. It was way too early to wake up in Phantom's opinion, not to mention the face that he hardly slept at all. It drove Phantom insane. He had come to terms with him being a vampire, though he hardly wanted to admit it himself. He also came to terms with the fact that he now had nobody.
At first, he wondered what he was going to do about food, but after the first night he found that food was no longer appetizing.
Deciding he wasn't going to get anymore sleep at all today, Phantom jumped down from his branch in his tree and decided to explore a bit. After all, it would be unfortunate if he decided to make his home near a bear cave or within the hunting territory of a wolf pack. Of course, that would be just his luck if he did.
Deciding to explore the territory to the east, Phantom decided to head off towards the rising sun. Nothing made sense anymore. If he really was a vampire, why didn't he burn in the sunlight like the stories say? Not like it was Phantom's problem, but he should really find somewhere shaded to sleep in the day time.
East led Phantom towards trees that were just a little bit thinner and spread out a bit more than the rest. The more he went on, the less wildlife he saw and the more of the early morning sky he saw. Off in the distance, Phantom could hear cars honking and people shouting. Was he really that close to another town?
Curious, the white-haired vampire inched closer to the edge of the woods that he called home now. At the edge, he stayed behind a tree as he watched the everyday lives of the people of this little town. Many people passed by him and paid him no attention, which was just fine with Phantom. He slowly felt the thirst coming back and he didn't want to lose himself again like last time. Every person that passed by caught Phantom's red eyes. He was close enough to hear their heartbeats.
The more people passed him, the more Phantom could feel his throat dry with thirst. Just the promise of the warm blood pumping its way through the residents' veins was enough to force Phantom into a crouch. A pink tongue glided over the vampires' fangs. Surely no one would notice if one person went missing, right?
Eyes glowed red as Phantom had chosen his next meal; a young boy, around his age. Phantom could see him so clearly, even though he was a ways away. Black hair seemed to fall in the boy's face the exact same way as Phantom's own hair, and even at this distance, the vampire could see the boys baby blue eyes. He had to have this boy. It was like his blood was calling to him.
It was then that he realized that no one else's blood would satisfy him but that boys.

It wasn't like Danny to leave the house early. Usually he was asleep until the last second when his mother or sister would come into his room to wake him up. Or it was one of those rare days when his father would blow something up in the lab that would wake up the poor boy.
So here he was, walking to school early. Deciding it was a fairly nice day outside; Danny thought it would be wise to take the long way to school to avoid Dash and his stupid buddies. Of course, taking the long way meant going by the woods, which, according to his parents, had vampires living in them, but Danny was willing to take the risk. He was always hoping to meet one anyway.
However, when he got closer and closer to the woods, Danny felt a sense of dread overcome him. He had a feeling someone or something was following him. The feeling got stronger the closer he got to Phantom's hiding spot in the woods.
A little curious, Danny looked around and peeked around a tree at the edge of the woods. Curiosity killed the cat, and if Danny was a cat he'd be dead.
Phantom grinned as he silently moved to follow the boy. It was too easy. The kid was too curious.
"Is anyone out there?" Danny asked, his voice wavering. Phantom could smell the fear off the kid. Almost every little sound made the boy jump, and Phantom had to keep himself from laughing.
Deciding now was the best time to strike, Phantom quickly moved so that he was behind the boy. Danny had no chance to turn around as Phantom grabbed his shoulders and exposed his neck. The white-haired vampire made a sort of hissing noise as he felt his fangs grow longer. His mouth was watering, and this kid's blood was going to help his thirst.
Phantom bit down on Danny's neck as he moved a hand to the raven's mouth so that he couldn't scream. Instead, Danny whimpered as he felt his blood being sucked from him, which was a weird feeling. After the first few sucks, Danny could feel his body getting heavy and his eyes began to droop. He knew the scientific reason behind it, he was passing out from anemia, but he tried to fight it as much as he could. There was just no way he could die right here.
Of course, if he had actually listened to his parents and stayed away from the woods, he wouldn't have been in this mess to begin with, but to each their own.
At this point in time, Phantom came back to himself. When he realized what he was doing, he pulled away from the boy. Danny looked at the vampire that had been attached to his neck earlier. His eyes had shifted from the blood red they previously were to an emerald green. The vampire's eyes were widened in fear, which was unusual in Danny's mind. From what he heard from his parents, vampires were incapable of feeling fear.
What was even more unusual was that this white-haired vampire was concerned about his victim. Once Phantom was certain Danny was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief. The vampire kneeled next to the boy and picked him up. "I'm sorry. I didn't want any of this to happen." Phantom said softly as he buried his face in Danny's soft raven locks.
Everything he had learned about vampires from his parents was being turned upside down. The combination of blood loss and his brain overworking made Danny pass out.

Danny awoke later to the sound of birds chirping and Phantom staring at him with worried eyes. The white-haired vampire moved a few feet away from the boy, to give him room to sit up if he wanted to. Danny slowly moved himself to a sitting position. Phantom opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but thought better of it and closed it. His green eyes decided to look at something more interesting and Danny just realized that he was sitting under a ray of sunshine and wasn't burning to a crisp.
"What exactly are you?" Danny asked, raising an eyebrow. Phantom turned his attention back towards the human.
The vampire shrugged and looked away again, ashamed of what he did to this innocent kid. "Vampire, I guess." Phantom said softly.
Danny smiled and Phantom shot him a puzzled expression. "That's cool." Danny said as he tried to get up, only to fall back down.
"Are you insane?" Phantom spat at the human. The vampire grabbed onto Danny's shoulders and Danny flinched, thinking he was going to bite him again. "I almost killed you, and you think that it's cool? What kind of idiot are you?"
Danny could only smile. "My parents are vampire hunters, and they always forbade me from observing the ones they had in the lab. So I've been itching to meet a vampire for a while now."
Phantom raised an eyebrow, which Danny noticed were black, a stark contrast from his snowy hair. "Let me get this straight, your parents are vampire hunters, and you have only ever wanted to meet one?" Danny nodded. "Why didn't you just sneak into their lab then?"
"It's not that easy!" Danny protested before he heard trees start to crash to the ground. The raven haired boy froze.
The crashing grew louder and Phantom had no time to think. He picked up the human and jumped out of the way right before a heavily armored truck plowed through the tree that Danny was sitting against. Phantom landed safely a few feet away, still carrying Danny.
"You should run." Danny whispered.
"I'm not afraid of a few vampire hunters." Phantom growled in the humans' ear.
The door to the vehicle opened and out stepped a woman with a blue hazmat suit. Phantom could feel Danny stiffen in his arms. Paying it no heed, Phantom bared his fangs, like a feral beast.
Out of nowhere, a gunshot rang and seconds later, Phantom could feel a sharp pain in his left shoulder. "You have two seconds to let go of my little baby, vampire scum!" The woman yelled.
"Don't go around accusing me of something I'm not!" Phantom retorted. His green eyes rolled. Did these people seriously have nothing better to do than accuse everyone of being a vampire around their kid? Not like Phantom cared, if he wanted to he could have been out of there already. "Tell me, do I look like a vampire?"
"Just because you don't look like one doesn't mean you aren't one." The woman said as she pulled out a knife and slid it across her wrist. Phantom could smell the blood the second it hit the air and it took all of his willpower to not let it get to him. But what Phantom couldn't help was his eyes flashing red for a second before returning back to their electric green. This was all the proof that the woman needed.
She took aim again at Phantom and fired off another shot, this time hitting his chest. It took a few seconds before Phantom could register he had been hit and when he did he began to howl. Danny looked back at Phantom, eyes wide. He knew exactly what had happened. His parents were experimenting with bullets encased in holy water and by the look of it, Phantom had just become on the receiving end of one of their experiments.
The white-haired vampire continued to howl as the holy water burned not only through his flesh, but also through any internal organs the bullet touched. Phantom let go of Danny to hold onto the wound on his chest. It burned and it felt as though he himself was on fire. Phantom fell to the ground as he curled in on himself, trying to will the pain away.
"Mom, Dad, he's hurt badly!" Phantom could just hear Danny yell to his parents. His eyes were closed tight and Phantom tried to ignore the fact that the female hunter was coming closer. Something in the back of his mind told him that if he would only drink from one of these people then he would be fine, but Phantom was better than that. He didn't want people to be afraid of him.
Phantom could feel Danny's warm body next to him. The kid kept on putting pressure on his wound to get it to stop bleeding. Phantom could tell the woman hunter was right next to her son and a few seconds later, Danny's warmth was ripped away from him. Words were exchanged between the mother and son pair, but Phantom was too out of it to really pay attention to any of the words. He was just praying, praying for the pain to pass.
He kept on praying, praying….
Praying….
