Not long after that weird encounter, I was running… again. I know what you're thinking, aren't vampire supposed to have bat wings so they could get to far places? Well, as if the answer wasn't obvious… no!
I stopped at what seemed like a deserted alley, I think that was somewhere near the center of Pennsylvania.
My lungs gasped for air, yearning for a source of oxygen to release it from its suffering. Finally.
I stumbled down on the dirty road of the ally, near the garbage dumps, and sat down next to it. The smell of old fruit, and the faint scent if smoke from cigarettes filled the air. Perfect. This was where I am going to spend the night. Even though the place was a total mess, I would be secured and unseen by the human population.
I took off my backpack and set it next to me. Then, I took out the picture I had taken from my room before I left. There she, in the photo, was smiling at me. She looked as if she didn't have the care in the world. Her ecstatic mood didn't fit the depressing situation I was going through which left me annoyed. How could you keep that laugh plastered onto your face Maya? Why do you look like you don't care about what's going on in the world? Then, another thought flashed through my mind. Do you miss me? Do you care that I left, and may never come back.
I stared at the sky and sighed. It seemed like it was around eleven o'clock. The sun had left the sky a while ago, and had left it in a rosy glow, leaving only a glimpse of light remaining. Now, the late summer air was starting to get cooler, the darkened street was silent. Except for the occasional, rush of leaves or screeching tires, the streets of Pennsylvania were quiet.
I looked back down at the photo in my hand one last time.
"Do you really love me?" I whispered.
My throat clogged up, and my eyes burned, but this time I quenched up all my sensitive emotions and locked them away.
Of course you don't miss me. Of course you don't care that I left. Of course you don't…you don't love me. If you did, you would've followed me out here. If you did, you would've sent the police after me. If you did, you would have stopped me from running away.
But you didn't, and I bet you never will. I bet that all those years of assurance and comfort was just an act. You just wanted to get to know me better to see if I killed Dad. Well, I didn't tell you anything. Go continue living your happy, normal, human life with Sally while I continue living the dangerous life I had wished I had not had. I want to I see the look on your face your when I come back to take my revenge. I just can't believe you didn't come after me.
I threw the frame down on the ground harshly. The glass cracked, leaving a separation down the center of my sister's smiling face.
I 1ied down on the uncomfortable gravel floor. The bumpy rocks and pieces of garbage scratched my head as I did, but I didn't care. Why should I? There was nobody left for me to live for.
I awaited for the power of slumber to take me on the journey to sleep. But, before I closed my eyes, I gingerly took the cracked picture frame of my sister and put it in my bag.
