"Bye," I said leaving the final class of the day. I was excited and upset, excited because I won't have class until next week and upset because I have a 6 paged essay due on Sunday before midnight: that's college life for you. I met up with Kristoff and Sven in the library for a study session, even though weren't in the same major. Inside the library, I noticed Kristoff and Sven seemed to be more focused on something else rather than the book open in front of them. They didn't even notice my arrival. I decided to mess with them, so I picked up the book and dropped it on table, it made a loud noise as it hit the table.
Kristoff jumped in surprise and Sven fell out of his chair; I tried my best to contain my laugh, but I couldn't, their reactions were priceless. I burst out laughing causing most of the people in the library to look at me. I quickly said sorry and turned over to see Kristoff annoyed and Sven upset.
"Hey it's not my fault you were distracted, "I said taking a seat across from them.
"Sorry, but we have a lot of stuff going on, "Kristoff said looking at me. I understood that Kristoff and Sven was hunters, but they never seemed to worry this much before. It seemed like Kristoff could read my mind,
"We can't tell you, but you're not in any danger." What was that supposed to mean? Why can't they tell me if I'm not in any danger? I learned its better not to ask too many questions from Kristoff. I couldn't expect any from Sven because he's worse than Kristoff when it comes to answering questions. I just decided to let it go and change the conversation.
We spent only 30 minutes actually studying and the rest goofing off. I should've expected this because when you're studying with your friends, there's not going to be that much studying getting done. We left the library 2 hours later, it was about 5 O'clock. As we were leaving, I saw a flash off blonde hair; it reminded me of the girl named Elsa 3 days ago. I turned around quickly and saw that it wasn't Elsa, but my cousin, Rapunzel.
I haven't seen her in a while since she's is studying to be a nurse and that take takes up all of her time. I was a little shocked at first when she told me her major was nursing; I expected something this, but that's Rapunzel for you, she can be unpredictable at times.
"Punz," I said loudly, causing her to turn around. Her face changed from shocked to a smile, she ran up and pulled me into a hug. Once we pulled apart, she said hi to Kristoff and Sven, who said hello back, but they had to go somewhere. We said goodbye and went our separate ways. Kristoff and Sven went towards the parking lot, while Punz and I headed to a little café on Campus.
"I'm so excited to see you, I said taking a seat. We already ordered, I ordered a hot chocolate and Rapunzel ordered a latte. We were seated at a small table near the window.
"Me too, sorry studies have been killing me lately. How are you?" Rapunzel asked.
"It's ok and I'm fine. I've just been hanging out with Kristoff and Sven."
"Oh. That reminds me, when are you going to ask Kristoff out?" Rapunzel asked. As soon they question left her mouth, I was shocked that she would think I like Kristoff. Not there's anything wrong with him, but I see him more as family, like a brother.
"Never, we don't like each other like that," I said looking around.
"Ok then, T-." Rapunzel was cut off mid-sentence by the Barista, who had our drinks.
"One Hot Chocolate and One Latte," he said placing the correct drinks in front of us.
"Thank you, I said looking up to see a handsome man. He was a slender, muscular. Dark skinned, with dark brown hair and amber eyes: He looked like someone from a fairytale. On his name tag was, Naveen.
"Don't thank me, thank Tiana," He said before walking off.
"Wow…. If I wasn't with Eugene, I'd ask him out, "Rapunzel said and we both giggled because we know it's true.
"That reminds me, how's it going with Flynn?" I said while blowing on my hot chocolate before taking a sip. I don't know why he likes to be referred as Flynn, but we just call him that. Rapunzel calls him by his real name, Eugene, and Flynn.
"It's going pretty good; we're just waiting on you. I can't wait till you get a boyfriend. The first thing we'd do is double date," Rapunzel said taking a sip of her latte, but burning her tongue in the process. I laughed at the expression she made as she stuck out her stung.
"You need to calm down and I met a guy…." I said. Flashbacks of the tale mysterious stranger, called Hans came to mind. I could tell I had a dreamy look on my face because Rapunzel was practically beaming.
"What happened?" She asked wiggling from excitement in her seat. I remembered how Kristoff came and stopped it from happening. I couldn't tell her was a vampire or that Kristoff was hunter, so I decided to tell a half lie.
"It wasn't going to work out," I said drinking the last sip of my hot chocolate. It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the whole truth. Rapunzel was about to speak, when her ringtone went off:
"That's what makes you beautiful."
She smiled a sheepish smile, and removed herself from the table. While she was gone, I couldn't help but think what if Kristoff hadn't come in time? Would I be a vampire right now or dead? I shook off the depressing thought just as Rapunzel came back.
"Who was that, "I asked. I didn't care if she told me or not, I just wanted to get my mind of things right now.
"It was Flynn and he invited us and my roommate to this hot new club he booked." I probably forget to mention that Flynn or Eugene was a DJ. I also forget Rapunzel had a roommate, she probably mentioned her once or twice but I never really paid any attention during those times.
"Oh, but don't you have to study?" Where the hell did that come from? I could care less about studying, but I'm not sure about Rapunzel she needs to study a lot.
"Pfft, I need a break or else my mind will explode, "she said texting someone, probably her roommate.
"How's your roommate?" I asked. This seemed to cause her to stop what she was doing and look at me.
"I don't know, but she's been acting strange lately."
"How strange?" I asked suddenly curious by what she meant. Strange as in creepy stalkerish or just a plain weirdo.
"Umm, yesterday she came back in some dirty scrubs: which was surprising because I could've swore she was just going to a party. She made up some excuse saying she's volunteering at a hospital. Also she drank some water and spit the entire thing out, like it was poison: I saw her drink water plenty of times and she never did that. Today, I found my chameleon dead, when he was perfectly fine yesterday." Rapunzel said between sips of her latte.
"That is strange; do you think she killed your chameleon?"
"No, Anna, she's my best friend and I don't she would do that. Probably he ate something poisonous. Anyways, let's go I'm ready to party." We both got up and left a tip for the barista. It was already dark outside, we decided to go change and meet up at the club. Once I got the address, I turned around and walked home.
It didn't take me that long to get home. Once I was inside, I took a quick shower and looked for something to wear. I chose a black dress, which reached my thighs and some black pumps. I decided to take my hair out of my normal pig tails and let it down. I was ready to go, I grabbed my purse and my cellphone. I called a cab and while I was waiting I decided to call Kristoff, to see if he could come. It rang two times before going to voicemail, I thought nothing of it: He was probably busy. Once the taxi arrived, I locked my door and headed downstairs.
It didn't take long before pulled in front of the club, Rapunzel was talking about. I paid my fare and exited out the vehicle. I spotted Rapunzel and her roommate, who was the girl I met before. I felt my heart beating faster, my knees seemed to grow weak at the sight of her. She seemed to notice someone staring her because she turned around. We made eye contact that was all it took for me to blush. I quickly looked at the outfit she was wearing. She was wearing jeans and blouse, not much.
I probably looked like someone weirdo just standing here, so I walked over. Rapunzel greeted me first with a hug and her roommate, Elsa, whispered a hey. I said hey back, but I didn't whisper it. I don't know why Rapunzel said she seemed strange, she seemed pretty normal to me. Her skin seemed a little paler than before, and her eyes seemed more alluring. It seemed like she prettier during these past few days. I was snapped out of my reverie, by Rapunzel pulling me inside, while Elsa followed. Inside, we greeted by loud music and a bunch of people dancing. Rapunzel mentioned something about finding, Eugene before walking off. That left only me and Elsa standing by the entrance.
"So, do you want to get a drink?" I asked looking at the ground.
"Sure, "she said. Good, things were going great. Just don't embarrass yourself, Anna. At the bar, the bartender greeted us and asked what we wanted to drink. I don't drink that much alcohol so I ordered a coke cola and Elsa the same things. It was silent as we stood waiting for our drinks, once our drinks arrived I immediately took a big sip: that's how nervous I was.
"Thirsty much? Elsa asked
"Hahaha, yeah I love coke, "I said chuckling awkwardly. I stopped laughing when I realized what I just said. She probably thinks I'm a drug addict: gosh, I'm such an idiot. The most beautiful sound, snapped me out of my inner argument. It looked up to see Elsa laughing, she looked even more beautiful laughing.
"It's alright Anna, I know what you meant, "she said. My face turned the exact shade of my hair.
"So.. wh-" I stopped mid-sentence when I saw Hans enter the club. He looked the same as before, still gorgeous, but he was with another girl. I don't know why that bothered me, but it did.
"Excuse me, for a second," I said leaving Elsa confused.
Elsa's Pov:
Once Anna left, it felt like I could breathe again. It was like when she was around; the hunger came back full force: I wanted nothing more than to see what she tasted like. I felt horrible for thinking like, so I was going to try to control it as hard as I can. I was surprised when Rapunzel invited me out, I wouldn't even take myself out for the way I was behaving the other night. I only accepted because I didn't want Rapunzel getting suspicious.
I was shocked to find out that Anna and Rapunzel were cousins, but not so much when get them in the same room together. They looked kind of a like. I wonder where Anna went? Before she left she looked like she saw a ghost. I set my coke down on the table, and looked around the club for anna. I almost gave up, but I saw a strawberry blonde with a white streak in her hair talking to Him.
I felt my body freeze up at the sight of him, the man who ruined my life, the man who killed me, my creator. What was Anna doing talking to him? I couldn't let him change her: I can't let him ruin her life. As I was walking towards them, the music changed and the people began to dance more violently, which made it difficult to get through the people.
"I did my time and I want out, so effusive
Fade, it doesn't cut, the soul is not so vibrant
the reckoning, the sickening
Packaging, subversion, pseudo-sacrosanct perversion"
It seemed like everyone seemed to know and love this song. I got hit a couple of times and some people tried grabbing me to dance.
'Go tell your classes, go dig your graves
Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save
Sinking in, getting smaller again
Undone, it has begun, I'm not the only one'
It seemed like more people keep the dance floor, I jumped over and see the man leading Anna somewhere. I had to hurry up, I started pushing people, but there was too much people.
'And the reign will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me'
I was finally out of the crowd, but Anna was gone. Where did she go?
'Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial
Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial'
I saw Rapunzel heading towards me with an angry Eugene around her arm.
"Where's Anna, she asked?"
"I don't know she left with some guy."
"Oh, well we're leaving because Eugene confused dates. He doesn't have this place until next week and this music is giving me a headache."
"Oh, I'll see you home and I'll find Anna don't worry." She nodded and left with Eugene.
"There are cracks in the road we lay
From where the devil fell, the secrets have gone mad
This is nothing new, but when we killed it all
The hate was all we had
Who needs another mess, we could start over
Just look me in the eyes and say I'm wrong
Now there's only emptiness
Venomous, insipid
I think we're done, I'm not the only one
And the reign will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me
Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial
Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
Fake and defenseless lies
(Psychosocial)
I tried to tell you but
(Psychosocial)
Your purple hearts are giving out
(Psychosocial)
Can't stop a killing idea
(Psychosocial)
If it's hunting season
(Psychosocial)
Is this what you want?
(Psychosocial)
I'm not the only one
And the reign will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me
And the reign will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!"
Once the song was over, the dance floor seemed to clearing up. I saw Anna and the Man walking towards the entrance. I hurried over toward the entrance, bumping into a few people. Once outside, I followed Anna and the man.
"Anna," I called out. They both turned around, Anna blushing and Hans smirking.
"Stay away from, her" I said.
" Elsa, it's ok I know him," Anna said trying to reassure me. How did Anna know this man? I'll ask later, right now I have to keep her safe.
"Anna, he's not safe, I said not taking my eyes off him." He just chuckled after I said that.
"But-" Anna was interrupted by him,
"It's ok, love I will see you next time, he said caressing her face.
"Don't you dare touch her," I sneered while moving closer. He put his hands up in surrender and back away, still smiling. Once he was gone, I let out a sigh of relief.
"What was that about?" Anna asked furiously. I almost forgot Anna was still standing there.
"He's not safe, Anna," I said like it was the most obvious thing.
"I can protect myself," Anna harsher said than she intended to.
Elsa felt hurt by Anna's tone.
"Ok. Well, your cousin left, I said not bothering to look at her anymore.
"Yeah, well I'm leaving too and don't worry I'm calling a cab, she said. I watched as she put in the numbers. It a long moment of silent before the cab came, Anna looked at me one last time before getting in the cab. I watched the cab drive away until it was out of sight. I began to start crying. I went behind the club, to avoided pitiful stares.
"Ah, Young love," A familiar voice said. I looked up and saw the man standing in front of me. I was no longer sad, I was angry.
"Why did you do this to me? Who are you?" I snapped
"Hmm, I recall the last time you asked these questions it didn't go so well. But, if you must know, my name is Hans." He said extending his hand.
"Why did you do this to me?" I asked ignoring his hand. He sensed that I wasn't going to shake it, so he quickly withdrawal it.
"Do what? I gave you the gift of immortality, you should be happy." Hans said
"I didn't want it, I rather be dead," I spat. The next thing I knew I was thrown into the wall.
"Don't you dare treat such a gift as an abomination," Hans said standing over me.
"Fuck you," I said clutching my stomach.
"I don't think your little girlfriend would be too happy if you did. I wonder what she tastes like, I bet you wonder too."
I got up and punched him right in the face. It didn't seem to affect him, he just laughed and grabbed me by my throat.
"You can't beat me and I suggest you cool down: before I end your life right now." He said still with a smirk on his face. He let me go and began to walk away, but not before saying something.
"I'd watch out for your girlfriend, because in the end she could be the cause of your death," He said. Before I could ask what he meant, he was already gone. I kicked the wall in pent up frustration. She's not even my girlfriend and what was that supposed to mean? After pondering for minutes I decided to walk home.
As I was walking home, I smelled something delicious; I saw a pregnant woman and her son coming from a Chinese restaurant. I tried ignoring the hunger in my throat and walking away, but I couldn't control it any longer. I whispered a sorry to myself and walked across the street.
"Isaac, slow down," the woman called to her son.
"Hahaha, catch me mommy," He said running. He was not paying attention, so he bumped into me. He looked up with wide eyes and said,
"Sorry, Ma'am." No I'm sorry I said more to myself. I quickly grabbed him by the neck and bit in. I blocked out the screams of his mother. I drank until his heart beat no more, I threw the corpse to the side. I was still thirsty; the mother seemed to notice she was next: she tried to run, but it came out more as a wobble.
I caught up to her in no time, I bit into her neck and she screamed out in pain. I covered her mouth, she tried biting me, but I didn't let go. Once her heart stopped beating, I let go and she fell to the ground. I felt satisfied, I heard cop sirens coming in the distance and I quickly ran away.
