Chapter 3: First Blood

The wave of impending newborns ran towards the city from the trees like a rampaging stampede. The growls of anticipation rippled through the air as the distance between the city and them decreased. The scent of blood entered each of their noses and their mouths pooled with venom. Riley smiled at how easy it was to distract their minds with blood. He was sure that none of them will have enough sense to hightail away from the army after they feasted.

"We're almost there! Get ready to get your blood!" Riley yelled and was answered with a chorus of snarls and growls. The light brown haired girl growled as well, completely mindless. The moment they entered the city's pier where the lights were dim, each and everyone of the newborns sped to find the nearest source of blood in sight.

The girl found two homeless man sleeping under a bridge a few meters away from here and quickly raced to them. She had an instinct to knock both of them out and began sucking the first man dry.

The first blood she had tasted in her new life was sour on her tongue due to the alcohol the man drank. It gave the aftertaste much like the taste of flour on her tongue. But it quenched the burning fire in her throat and she knew herself not to be picky. The man was dry before she was even half quenched and she quickly sucked on the next man. He was sour too and it was getting harder to ignore the aftertaste. But it left her throat moist so she didn't complain.

Her senses came back to her after her thirst was reduced and she glanced at the area where the newborns had came from. There were groans of moaning people and the smell of blood drifted in the air. Her throat burned once more at the thought of blood and the girl quickly searched for more blood. But a nagging thought was in her head as she sucked on her third victim.

After she had finished with her sixth, her mind was active again. Her thirst was down, she felt almost sloshy, enough for her to focus on the new aspects in her life. The girl looked at her bloodied hands and cringed. She touched her vampire teeth and flinched seeing the silvery venom lingering on her finger. The girl looked at her reflection on the puddle next to her and gasped at how different she was now.

She was a vampire. A monster. The girl went through her head, thinking on the other mythical stories her mother used to tell her before she left. Vampires. They live forever, that's for sure. Garlic gags them but she passed a vegetable stand filled with garlic and she didn't wince once. Stakes to the heart will kill them instantly but she wasn't sure whether wood could penetrate her hard skin.

What about mirrors? They weren't suppose to reflect a vampire's body but they did to her. The girl ticked that thought off her mind. Sunlight is dangerous to vampires but considering how the other few factors were proven false, it might not be true either. But Riley had given a fierce warning so it must be true. But the girl wan't sure to trust him. After all, he was the one who changed her when she clearly didn't wanted to be a vampire. A soulless monster. But she will pay more attention on what he is going to say once after she is finished.

The girl wandered around in the dreg parts of the city. Riley was smart enough to bring the newborns to the most worthless part of Seattle. The neighborhood was filled with junkies and whores. The girl made her way around a few shops, looking around not practically knowing what she was doing. She had no clue on what vampires do other then sucking up blood. She spotted a few trachcans in an alleyway and looked back at her clenched fist.

Without thinking, she kicked the trashcan as hard as she could and her ears ringed at the loud clatter of metal. The trashcan was airborne up high before landing around a mile away from there, crashing into a street light with a distinct bang. Her eyes widened at how strong she was and checked her area to see if anyone had heard her. Confirming none had noticed her experiment of her strength, she continued her way down the alley.

She reached a closed music shop as she left the alley. She looked through the window panel and scanned the area. Apart from the locked doors and windows, there weren't any surveillance cameras around. With her sharp sight, she spotted a few decent looking guitars hanging on the wall. Acoustic and rock were arranged neatly. A shelf of books for learning other few instruments were in the corner. It would be nice to play a few of them. She had a passion for music, knowing how to play the guitar when she was little. But blood seemed more important in her life now.

Not wanting to linger any longer, she continued her exploration. She took time to understand her enhanced abilities. She realized that if she concentrated hard enough, she could see a few of the newborns feasting on other victims a mile away. She could jump high lengths. Run as fast as the speed of sound and even smell different kind of scents in the air. As much as she liked this new lifestyle, she couldn't help but feel guilty for killing all of the people. She made a thought to kill only the pimps,dregs and homeless people. At least they won't attract attention to the media. She was sure that was the smart way of hunting.

She ran on top of the roofs, jumping gracefully as she experimented using only her nose to detect smells. She captured the smell of frying oil at a 24 hour diner, the smell of metal being crushed at a dump and even smelt a few of the other newborns due to the wind's direction. But she gagged when she passed a water tank on top of a random roof. She coughed as though phlegm was caught in her throat and stopped on top of a building. Curious on what could be the source of the repulsive feeling she got, she edged slowly towards it.

She got inside the radius of revulsion and frowned, refraining to gag. She took a deep breath to steel herself and continued towards it, slower then average human pace. The more she concentrated, the more she found it easier to reject the revulsion. She got closer towards the water tank on top of the roof. She could see a silhouette of a man leaning on the side of the water tank.

"Hello?" She spoke, her voice no higher then a whisper. The man turned his face to her and the revulsion went up a notch. She winced and took a step back. Recognizing him as one of the other vampires in her group, she looked down on the ground to avoid his gaze and hoped he sees it as a sign of peace.

The revulsion stayed and she found it harder to be around him. "I'm sorry for intruding." She spoke out to him, thinking maybe he just wanted his space. He's probably wary around her as much as she's wary around him. The revulsion wavered and she took the opportunity to look at him. She was shocked to see him extremely handsome, even more so then Riley. His curly blonde hair suited his muscular structure and his nearly white skin gave him sort of an individuality. She never thought a face like that could be able to perform such a revulsion.

She realized that he was bearing a face of surprise, his eyes widened and showcasing his bright red eyes as well. He was new too. She realized they were having a split eye connection before the revulsion came just as strong as before. She quickly turned her head away, realizing she could not see his face anymore. "I'll leave you be." She continued her words and retreated back slowly, hoping to not spark a fight. Seeing as her strength was strong enough to shoot a trashcan sky high, she doesn't want to have a fight with a male.

"It's okay." He spoke suddenly and the girl's eyes widened at how deep his voice was. It sounded husky and masculine. Even her voice was changed as she realized herself. Her voice was timid and silky and she frowned at that. She didn't wanted to be thought as soft. It surprised her at how deeply sincere he spoke those words. She thought he would be more hostile towards her but she guessed you can't judge a book by its cover.

The revulsion wavered again and she could lift her face to him. She smiled at the man and his body flinched at her, surprised at her friendliness. But he returned the smile all the same.
