Chapter Twenty-one: Witness of Vampirism
"Until this night, I never thought of becoming a vampire, and living in eternity... but he offer me this to save my life as I saved his."
Flashback
"Are you sure about this?" a male voice asked on the other side of a cell phone.
"Indeed Brooklyn," Jess's voice replied.
She got the call from Brooklyn a while now, maybe almost ten minutes. They were discussing what to do on Saturday night.
"I kind it pretty odd that you are interested in going to a place like that. What made you thought of going there?"
"Well I thought about it, after Aya suggests me to go there with you since it's a special event and ages sixteen to twenty-five are allowed."
A moment of silence fell to them till Brooklyn spoke once again.
"Are you sure? Although it's a good place to go, it's pretty dangerous. Have you ever heard of girls being drugged by men and they did so by spiking their drinks and then rape them with no memory of what happened?"
"Yes, but is it also true that those girls were raped because they either left their drink without paying attention or that the men that raped them brought the drinks over for them?"
"Touché," Brooklyn responded.
"Besides if any boy or men try to do that to me, I have you on my side and all I can say to them is, 'you have to deal with my boyfriend first'. Or 'sorry I accept only drinks that my boyfriend gave me here'."
A small giggle was heard by Brooklyn on the other line.
"Yes, as long as I have my kisses from my girlfriend for thanks."
"You will Brooklyn, so, I guess it's a date then there, huh?"
"Yes it is Jess."
"How about picking me up at 9:45?"
"Sounds okay, see you Saturday night. Goodnight my love."
"Love you, Brooklyn."
All what Jess heard from the other line was a long beep, indicating he has hung up his cell phone.
End of Flashback
She sat on the couch, patiently for Brooklyn to come.
He was a few minutes late, but Jess waited for she knew he would come for their date.
Her roommates were out dating as always on Saturday night, leaving her along in the flat to do whatever she wanted, but eventually she was going out soon, leaving the apartment dark and empty.
There lay a note on the coffee table that Jess wrote, hoping her roommates will be able to know why she wasn't here.
Hey guys…
Gone out for the night, be back soon.
Jess
She silently yawns, as she was bored waiting and not doing anything to kill the time.
At least she was prepared for the night. She wore a black, turtle-neck halter-top that cover her torso and fit her curves, and black pants. Her only accessory was the snowflake necklace her family gave her on her birthday several months ago. It wasn't much, but it should do, since the place their going didn't have any dress codes at all, so it was okay to wear anything you like, even for those who wear those slut outfits.
It was then that there was a few knocks on the door, that gotten Jess's attention. She got out from the couch to hurry to the door.
After a while to unlock it, she opens the door to then stare at someone who she was expecting, Brooklyn.
"Sorry I'm late," he apologized, "I had a few errands to run for my clan."
"Don't worry about it," Jess explained, "At least you came for our date."
"Indeed I am. So, are you ready?"
"I'm going to get my keys, and I'll be out for the door."
"Okay then."
Jess hurried back to the living room, grabbing her keys, and making sure her note to her roommates is visible for them to see and then know where she is.
She exit out of the apartment door, closing it behind her and then to lock it. She places the keys in her pocket of her pants and she looked at Brooklyn to see what he was wearing for the night.
It was the same thing that he wore on their date where they have had their first kiss, but the outfit made him mysterious and handsome.
Jess went up to him her hands on his clothed chest, as she lean in a place her lips on his in a sweet tender kiss. Brooklyn responded with his eyes close and his arms wrap around her waist, returning the kiss.
They broke apart a few seconds as Brooklyn commented her, "You look…lovely and yet sexy in black."
She could just giggle at his comment, for she felt comfortable with Brooklyn saying sexy; even though she was assertive she felt self-conscious about when other guys say that.
"Should we head to the dance club then?"
"Yes, let's go."
It's been a while
I know I shouldn't have kept you waiting
But I'm here now
The night club was known as Moonlight Rose, and it said to be the best couple hot-spots dance clubs in Tokyo. The neon billboard of the club's name was in an electric-blue color, and the image shown a full moon in yellow, with a red rose with a green stem to curve around it half-way.
Many teens and young adults; mainly couples, boyfriend and girlfriend seeking people entered in Moonlight Rose. There were two body-guards outside of the entrance way making sure no violence was occurring for this night and hoping every customer entering in there would have a good time.
I know it's been a while
But I'm glad you came
And I've been thinking 'bout
How you say my name
Got my body spinning
Like a hurricane
And it feels like
You got me going insane
And I can't get enough
So let me get it up
Ooh, looks like we're alone now
You ain't gotta be scared
We're grown now
I'm a hit defrost on you
Let's get it blazin'
We can turn the heat up if you wanna
Turn the lights down low if you wanna
Just wanna move you
But you're froze up
That's what I'm saying
Inside of the dance clubs, lights cover in transparent shades of colour dance around the dancers, waiters/waitresses, customers, enjoying their time here with the loud dance beats played by a Dee-jay.
It was loud for everyone to yell at each other to communicate with one another.
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Once you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Once you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
So you warming up yet?
There were seating booths for people to sit, listening to the music and enjoying a nice drink of whatever they have ordered. Along with that there are some areas about ten or seventeen of them covered in transparent red curtains, and one couple would go in and out of the area; making look like an area for them to have a make-out session.
Down at the dance area, everyone; from the teens to young adults dance like never before. Through dirty dancing, break dancing, or any style they prefer or do best. No matter what they were having fun while the night is young.
You got me hypnotized
I never felt this way
Got my heart beating
Like an 808
Can you rise to the occasion?
I'm patiently waiting
Cause it's getting late
And I can't get enough
So let me get it up
Ooh, looks like we're alone now
You ain't gotta be scared
We're grown now
I'm a hit defrost on you
Let's get it blazin'
We can turn the heat up if you wanna
Turn the lights down low if you wanna
Just wanna move you
But you're froze up
That's what I'm saying
Brooklyn and Jess were having a time, even though they stay in place swinging their bodies around in circular motion. Brooklyn hands were place on both sides of her hips, as Jess didn't mind of him doing that.
His head lean to the side to say something to her ear.
"I guess this isn't as bad as I thought," he said.
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Once you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Once you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
"I told you," Jess replied, "By the way, I never thought that you can only dance like to old days."
"Come on, we have to adjust the new time eras all the time, so, it doesn't leave suspicions, and it doesn't make us in what teens would call it; weird."
"Oh ok."
"Hey, do you want to go get a drink with me?"
I like this part
Feels kinda good
Yeah
"Aw, what's the matter? Can't handle to dance longer? I thought you have great stamina to last long."
"Are you challenging me?"
Jess smile that she hit the nail on the wall.
"Just stay with me with one more song and that's it. Okay?"
Brooklyn then nodded, saying, "Okay."
The song played by the amps high and low continues to play it by the Dee-jay. Everyone, even Brooklyn and Jess were having a good time, hoping the music won't end till dawn breaks.
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Once you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Let me break the ice
Allow me to get you right
Once you warm up to me
Baby I can make you feel
Hot
Where was he?
It was the only question that repeated through Garland's mind.
He leaps from roof to roof of each building, and uses his inhuman speed of being a vampire to aid him for his search quickly.
Leaping in the air from the edge of the building to the next, he landed on both feet without falling down to the ground. His foot making contact with it, made no sound at all.
Every few buildings he leaped at he stop to look for any signs of his orange-red head friend Brooklyn, and the heir of Blood Trillium.
The summer's night air was cool for the night, something he didn't expect to happen. The sky was perfectly clear to see the stars, but it was no time to gaze at them, not even a simple glimpse.
"If I were Brooklyn, where could I be?" he asked himself.
He was in search for Brooklyn to tell him something that made make him feel interested in it, after all according to Garland; it is time of night for Brooklyn to be hunting for the nectar that kept them alive for the many years of being an immortal.
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, that don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while even though goin on with you gone still upsets me
There are days
Every now and again I pretend i'm okay but that's not what gets me
The dance club seemed to get crowded by the minute; many people go in here but not many go out.
Brooklyn and Jess sat at one of the many tables where customers rest from the dancing, to enjoy listening to the music and a quick drink of soft drinks, and alcohol for those legal to drink it.
They both have already order soft sodas, which were given to them by a waitress who worked at Moonlight Rose, since she wore a uniform. Brooklyn paid for the sodas and a tip for her, before she left to serve some more drinks and encounter hooting and cat-calling boys.
What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
Both of them took their cups, and place it on their lips, consuming the sugary, bubbly liquids into their mouths and on their way down to the stomachs. After a few sips, Brooklyn remove his cup from his lips to place it back down on the table. He stare at Jess for she was still drinking it, and by a quarter done of her cup, she place it back down as well.
The lights still continue to dazzle upon them and the dancers, letting the different colour lights blanket their bodies. The song play now was half way done, so, to then let a new song to be played on the amps.
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But i'm doin it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and i'm alone
What Hurts The Most lyrics found on
Still harder gettin up, gettin dressed, livin with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart that I left unspoken
"I can't believe it's started to get crowded by the minute here!" yelled Jess, since she knew if using her normal volume of her voice, it could be hard for Brooklyn to hear.
"Indeed it has," Brooklyn agreed, "this adds Saturday nights with Friday nights as the crowded days for the dance club managers."
"The bright side to them is that they are getting a lot of profits from doing this."
What hurts the most, is being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
Never knowing, what could have been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
They gaze as more people dancing in the dance zone, and eventually they got a glimpse of a small fight. Later one and then a second security guard went down to stop the nonsense. Which then, they dragged two guys, one who looks like to be in his mid 20s' and the other whom is around nineteen years old to the entrance of the dance club. Follow by a girl who seemed to be their girlfriend or date to one of the men, her face was in shock and yet tick.
"But they need to pay the security for their duties as well, so, make that one on the wrong side," Brooklyn added, "But at least they got everyone to be happy and enjoying the night dancing."
"Uh huh," Jess responded.
What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowing, what could have been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
It was then that there was a CD scratching coming from the amps after the song was done. The dancers, the people at the tables and make-out rooms, even Brooklyn and Jess look to the D.J. whom was responsible to cause the sound.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is D.J. Music Savior," the D.J. greeted, before he continues, "I hope everyone is enjoying their night at Moonlight Rose."
On cue, the whole crowd has scream and cheer to agree with him. Then one of them has yelled to the D.J., "Yeah! But put the music back on!"
There were some laughter from the people who heard them and even Jess giggles and Brooklyn made a bluff.
"Okay, okay," the D.J. responded, "This next song is for all of the couples here tonight, so gather around for this next tune."
The Dee-jay got the CD with the song to be in place, and all they heard if the openings of a slow dance song. The crowd has split with couples and non-couples; as the couples came down to the dance floor, as they got in motion to dance the song away.
Jess stood up, as she pull Brooklyn up by his arm; he responded by getting up as Jess brought him out of their table to the dance floor.
"Come on, let's go," Jess said.
Brooklyn didn't hesitate, for they headed to the dance floor with the other couples, just when the first verse of the song was heard.
It's been 5 months since you went away
Left without a word, nothing to say
And I was the one who gave you my heart and soul
But it wasn't good enough for you, no
So I asked God
Finding a good spot to dance, Jess wraps her arms around his neck as he responded with his arms around her waist. Both of them stare into their eyes, before Brooklyn places a kiss on her lips. She returns the kiss, and after she pull back and place her head on his chest loving the embrace they are in together.
They move through the rhythm of the music, swinging their bodies slowly and around in a small circles. The music felt calm, romantic and happy for those who are enjoying the moment between their partners.
Somehow, the thought of kissing Jess came out of nowhere in his mind and he was in the urge to kiss her. But how will she response and where to kiss?
With one of his arms unwrapped itself from her waist, which Jess responded by removing where her head a resting to look at Brooklyn.
God send me an angel from the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart from being in love
Cause all I do is cry
God send me an angel to wipe the tears from my eyes
She felt his cool hand touch her warm cheek, as he gently stroke it with his index finger; moving up against her soft flesh, and removing it just a half a centimeter from her skin. He went down to where he begin his stroke and stoke it back up again.
Her hands and arms slid down to rest on his chest, his other arm was still in place around her waist.
Their eyes stare at each other for a moment, not wanting to break the hypnosis of their love for one another.
Brooklyn stops with his finger stroking her cheek, as he cupped his hand on it this time. His head lean in an inch to Jess's face, but stop if he was hesitating; whether it was okay to go in or not.
And I know that it might sound crazy, but after all that I still love you
You wanna come back in my life, but now there's something that I have to do
I have to tell the one that I once adored that they can't have my love no more
My heart can't take no more lies and my eyes are all out of cries
So God
Ignoring his hesitations, he leans in to softly place kisses from his lips on her other cheek, for Jess felt to coldness at first but subsided into a small sting of love and pleasure. He trailed the kisses to her jaw line, and then moved down to places more kisses on the flesh of her throat and neck.
God send me an angel from the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart from being in love
Cause all I do is cry
God send me an angel to wipe the tears from my eyes
Her heartbeat quickens, as her breathing was slightly fast than normal that Brooklyn was kissing her at where it's said to believe an intimate spot to kiss. But there were a couple, and Jess didn't mind of him doing this. He was the only one who would be allowed to kiss her on that certain spot.
She closed her eyes in bliss a soft moan escaped her small parted lips, as her arms went back around his neck, stroking his hair; the colour of the fire burning, burning in desire and pleasure. She held him close as if she was about to lose him.
"Brooklyn, kiss me more, please," she begged.
Now you had me on my knees, begging God please, to send you back to me
I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, and you made me feel like I could not breathe when I
All I wanted to do was feel your touch, and to give you all of my love
Took my love for granted want my loving now, but you can't have it o god
Brooklyn continues his trailing kisses on her throat, but move to one side to kiss the side of her neck.
The music and the sounds of the couples didn't existed, as the lights and the many people dancing with their loved one was a blur for Brooklyn. His mind wondered off, but he couldn't know what he was doing.
But the deep thoughts and his kisses were in a halt, as the scenery he was in was no longer a blurred illusion, but reality. His mind was snapped to it by his stomach growling in hunger; hunger for blood. And then he realized if it weren't for his stomach to growl he would have puncture Jess on her neck to drink her blood. The tip of his fangs was touching her skin surface, almost to pierce it her neck. His eyes widen into fear, hoping nobody have seen his fangs.
He quickly retrieves his fangs in his mouth, pulling away from Jess's neck, and from herself, breaking their embrace.
'I can't believe I was stupid enough that it was my night to hunt,' he told in his mind.
God send me an angel from the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart from being in love
Cause all I do is cry
God send me an angel to wipe the tears from my eyes
His ocean color eyes then gaze at Jess who was in confusion of Brooklyn's last action of pulling himself back from her.
"I'm sorry about that," he apologized, "But I got to leave; need to get my nectar."
At first, Jess didn't know what he was talking about, but then it hit her that Brooklyn was a vampire. He needed to drink human blood to live an immortal life.
"Okay Brooklyn," she answered, "But are you coming back once done?"
"Yes I am. I'll be back as soon as possible to finish our date off for tonight."
Brooklyn places his hands on her shoulders as he places a quick kiss on her forehead before he parted away from Jess. He went through the crowds till he was no more, going to the entrance and out to hunt.
The slow song have finally finished and once it was done a different exciting beat came from the amps as everyone got in to the dance floor to have some more fun. Jess stood at her place, but she eventually got herself to one of the tables to take a seat for a while till Brooklyn comes back from what he must do.
Twelve minutes later…
She waited silently in one of the tables she sat at, as she fiddles her necklace that her family gave her for her seventeenth birthday. She continues to stare at the people having all the fun with their friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, or flirting with strangers to get attention. The lights flicker with various colors of the rainbow, and the music boom for everyone to dance, there was even a small crowding of people doing break dancing and many went 'awes' and 'woo hoo' of the many moves the break dancers were throwing for performance.
Even thought it was fun to watch, she had one person in her mind that she was worrying about, Brooklyn.
'I hope nothing bad has happen to him,' she thought.
Jess took a peak of a clock hanging from the wall of the dance club to help those in need of knowing the time. It was 11:07 pm.
With the clock to answer her question of her time, she got up from the table, and decides to head out of the dance club and wait for Brooklyn out there. And she thought that once he comes back to meet her he could take her home, since she felt she's been out long enough at the dance club for the night.
She pass many people dancing as she headed to the entrance which too served as an exit to get out of the club. She bumped into some of couples and people dancing as she got her way through the crowd, saying 'excuse me' or 'sorry'.
Reaching through the doors to the Moonlight Rose, Jess got out of the club and the first thing she felt was the cool wind of the summer night, making her wrap her arms around herself for warmth. Her dark-brown hair moved softly and freely against the wind. The sky was clear and midnight-blue, the stars were white dots and the buildings she saw, all the lights were out except for one building. People got in the building and a few got out a bit buzzed; drunk, indicating that it was a bar.
The sound of the soft and yet unrecognizable music was played in the bar, since he had got here and currently was in now.
The bar look like those traditional bars in the 1950's with a juke box, even though it was use as a decoration to make it look how the bar looks, never have been used. The lights were lit, and some of them have the green glass shade around the light-bulbs. There were a few pictures that displayed on the walls for decorations, and some dart boards to play with the darts to who are interested.
There were about thirteen to seventeen people, including himself who are drinking, smoking, or playing games and socializing.
The smoke from people's cigarettes has intoxicated the air in the bar, as you can see the gray color smoke from it.
There were two pool tables close to one of the many windows around the bar, so customers were able to see the outdoors of the environment they were in. A few strangers were playing with one of the pool tables while the other was untouched by people who come in and out of the bar.
He played some pool with the other bar customers and a few times, he have won; and winning he means cash. He peered through the money he receive from his last game seeing it was enough to get a couple of beer, alcohol, anything that can help him get over what has happened to him the past weeks. Playing pool with the other strangers wanting money more than him was not enough.
He headed to the bar counter were there were high stools to sit, so, he sat on one that was close to the left end of the counter. The bartender saw him come and take his seat, so, he approach to him and asked, "What can I get for you?"
The bartender eyes had look at the male, gazing at the choices of drinks he could get with enough money. To his view he thought this customer was a little too young to be there, even though he had a drink before he played some pool. His blonde sandy hair, dark eyes, and his appearance show that he could be a high school student.
"Beer, please and thank you," he answered, his voice slightly slurred, but not much to see if he was drunk or not.
"May I see your ID?"
The blonde male reach into his pocket of his sleeveless vest he wore, reaching out a card and giving it to the bartender to see.
The bartender took a few glimpses of the ID card and then at the customer, seeing to see if the image of him was somewhat different and to identify it as a fake ID card. The ID card showed his image, and his name, height and age. Ian Matthews, height is 5'9", age 23.
It was then that the bartender returns the card to Ian, and he places his ID card back to his pocket.
The bartender then got to the fridge and brought out a bottle of beer and gave it to Ian after he open the cap of the beer open. Ian got the beer, mouthing the word thanks to him as he place the bottle to his lips, drinking the beer away and to his stomach.
Half-way done, he places the beer on the counter, as the bartender begins a small conversation with him.
"So, what got you in a bad mood today, Ian?" he asked.
It was a minute that Ian has responded, "Well it's what got me in a bad mood weeks ago."
"Oh, what cause it?"
"My ex-girlfriend, we were together since mid May when we got together after our other last break up. Apparently, she said that I was too obsessed with her and saying I'm out of control."
He drank the last half of the beer from the bottle and asked for an extra beer.
The bar tender returns with another cold beer, and gave to Ian with the cap already opened.
"All I know is that girls are picky and sluts when it comes to dumping their boyfriends to then have another to go have sex with them."
"Woo, a little overboard with that, that's stereotypical," the bartender called, as Ian drank the whole bottle this time before placing it back on the counter, "My wife have had multiple boyfriends before she met me, but she had moved to one boy and the next because they didn't have something that she wanted to see in a boy. There are other females out there who aren't sluts or picky about boyfriends, so, don't go prejudging."
Ian ignores that comment, but he reach into his pocket to get the money he won from the pool, to pay the two beers, and another one that he wanted.
"One more beer," he pleads, his voice starting to get slurred from the alcohol.
The owner of the bar brought out one more beer to him, as he receive the cash from Ian and place it into the cash register.
Ian silently drank some more, but stop as he gaze around the scenery around him. People were socializing as they talk and one of them laughs, thinking that they were laughing at a joke made; good or bad. The other strangers at the pool table still continued their game and there were only a few balls to place in the holes to receive points and win the games.
He sighs as he then took the bottle once more to drink the remaining liquids of the beer bottle into his mouth. As he drank it in his throat he gaze at the window to peer through a dance club seeing people going in and some going out after having fun in there.
But then his eyes gaze at someone, who he realizes at first who it is, and someone who he wanted and finally found.
It was a female with dark-brown hair, with crystal blue eyes, and a slightly pale skin complexion. She hugged herself from being outside of the club, and she look around, seeing her head turning one side of the streets and the other side.
'Jess,' he thought. He places the beer bottle to the counter, as he headed outside to catch up to Jess. He was going a bit off balance, knowing that drinking four beers, he was under the influence of alcohol and its side effects.
"Jess. Jess!!"
The male voice screamed at Jess, for Jess stop at her feet to then turn to see who was calling her.
'That voice,' she thought, 'It can't be Brooklyn. Who's calling me?'
At first the person's body was in shadows at a distance, causing Jess to feel unsure on whom the person is. Eventually the shadow covering the person's body faded away, as the full appearance show.
Jess's face of curious came to a small frown as she said the person's name, "Ian."
But she notices that Ian was walking a bit off balance, and the sound of his voice calling her name was slurred in her view.
'Has Ian been under the influence of alcohol?'
"Jess," he said normally as he finally reach to her, stopping in front of her, "I need-I need- to talk-talk- to you about something."
'Its official Matthews is drunk,' Jess thought.
"Ian, you're drunk," Jess said getting to the point, "You are in no condition to talk, or even walk at your state."
"I don't give a shit Jess, I want to talk to you, but first let's find a place to talk."
Ian grabbed Jess's shoulders as they both walk to the end of the block, but a dead end to the street. Far away from where no one will be able to interrupt their conversation.
"What is it?" Jess asked her patience to him was beginning to get thin, since she needed to wait for Brooklyn to come back. Her arms crossover her chest, waiting to hear what Ian has to say.
"I-I-I saw my ex-girlfriend with another guy-another guy- a few weeks ago, and I had to end the relationship," he answered, but he was lying to Jess, "So, even though it was over I felt not happy, but-but-but- when I saw you at the bar, I am in love with you. Please-Please- do you want to be my girlfriend?"
Jess stares at him thinking how dumb Ian has said that not only to waste her time, but an excuse that Ciara was cheating on him and he ended the relationship. Apparently Jess knew the truth. Secondly the way that he asked her to become his girlfriend sounded as if he was threatening her in order for her to be scare and be his girlfriend with no harm done. Of course Jess wasn't the kind to get the wool cover her eyes with lies.
"No," was her answer.
"What did you say?!"
"You heard me loud and clear. I said no."
"Why is that?! Why are you denying this offer to be with me?"
"Ian gets this straight. You're drunk. Secondly, that excuse you made was bullshit! I heard what my friends have said, it was Ciara who dumped you for being too possessive with her, and she couldn't take it any more. And lastly, I'm not into guys who are just the 'jocks' and wouldn't be caught being a girlfriend or better dating someone like you."
Jess turn away, so that her back was at his face as she begin walking away from him and heading back to the dance club.
"Fine, but you're nothing but a slut!"
Jess stopped from walking away from Ian, as she face him, "Excuse me?!"
"You heard me!" called Ian, "YOU ARE A SLUT!"
This really crossed the line for Jess, as she walks towards him beginning to fight back with words.
"You really have bark at the wrong tree Matthews! I am not a slut; you only say that to those who have multiple intercourses with other males. You say that if a girl is cheating behind a boyfriend. Hello! I am a virgin! You however are a player who used girls to get ex-girlfriends jealous to be together again. And if the ex-girlfriend dumps you for good, you go up to the one you use to be their girlfriend. Of course they say no to you because you've been an asshole! Another thing, I wouldn't be caught dead going out with you."
"But you don't have a boyfriend. There's no point in saying what you said since you don't have a boyfriend you idiot!"
"That's where you have been proven wrong! I do have a boyfriend, unlike you he's a gentleman, and knows how to treat a girl with respect and dignity through romance and he loves me as much as I love him. You; however through romance you insult a girl for who they are and wanted to be in order for them to go to you and be your girlfriend."
Jess look at Ian, anger spread across his face through his drunkenness. He knew that he had lost this argument through, insults and lies he has given to her. And she said all of her best to prove him wrong with facts, and he voice and posture to be assertive.
"Now if you excuse me, I need to meet my boyfriend who is going to sorry about me for where I am at."
Jess turn away from Ian as she took a few steps before she felt a hand grab her arm tightly and hurting her.
"Let me go!!" she cried, but Ian managed to drag her into a dark alley way, and slammed her against a brick wall of the building.
"Help! Someone hel-" but she was cut off by Ian's mouth covering her own, silencing her in a rough kiss. The taste of alcohol coming from Ian's mouth made her felt disgusted
With her arms free, she using the best of her strength push Ian off of her, his mouth parted from her as she then cried out loud to get anybody's attention.
"Anybody help me!! Brooklyn!" she shrieked. But Ian tries to get her arms as she still continues her plea of help, "Stop it! Save me!! Help!"
"No one can not save you!" with that, Ian manages to hold both of her arms with both of his slamming her again to the brick wall, and pressing her lips from his to another rough, bruising kiss.
Jess struggle to get free as much as possible, tears coming down to her eyes hoping for anybody, even Brooklyn to hear her previous cries and save her.
Ian continues to kiss her before he felt a tap on his shoulders. This was a bad move to do, for when he parted her lips and turn to see who it was; a punch was given to him in the face. Making him at daze, two hands grab Ian and push him to the wall hard enough to then later brought Ian to slide down to the ground.
The savior, then grab Jess's hand and drags her out of the alley way and to the opening of the dead end street.
After they stopped, Jess look at her savior to find out all this time it was Brooklyn.
She then hugged him tightly, as he wraps his arms around Jess returning the hug.
"Are you okay?" he asked his voice was with worry, but calm.
"I'm fine now Brooklyn," Jess replied a soft smile spread her lips a bit, "Thank you, you're a life savior."
Brooklyn then gaze his eyes at the dark alley way, to then after a few seconds he got in front of Jess. Jess's eyes saw the direction where he was seeing and saw a very mad and still drunken Ian coming out of the alley-way.
As he walks toward the couple, Brooklyn commented, "You know the way you acted won't get the respect from a lady in order to like you."
"I don't give a shit!" he yelled, "She was with me, she got kiss by me and she's a slut!"
"You forced her!" Brooklyn said louder, and with anger to know Ian how mad he was, "She told you she didn't like you one bit, and she said she was dating someone who gave her much respect and acts like a gentlemen. When she says no, she means it."
"Then who's the bastard that taken Jess I want to deal with him."
A moment has past and Brooklyn could feel the heat coming from Ian's body, radiating the anger showing from his body.
Silently Brooklyn got Jess's hand with his holding it softly, and as a response Jess move to face him and rested her head on his chest, and he hugged her.
"I am."
Ian then was at rage…
…He couldn't stand this any longer…
…The way Brooklyn have had Jess in the hug, the way he protects Jess, and worse of all…him being her boyfriend.
Ian went in his vest pulling out a sharp blade, secretly; his motive…to kill Brooklyn.
He begins to run towards them and with the blade he begins to strike…
Plunge the knife in the body…
…pull it again to stab…
…Twice…
…three times…
…and one final strike in the body, letting the blood runs free.
Ian pulls the blade out to see it caked with the dark crimson liquid. Smiling thinking he has killed Brooklyn, but looking to see Brooklyn on the floor; his face came then into terror. Something he couldn't believe at all, dropping the blade he held long ago and use to stab the flesh, he began to run for his life.
Brooklyn gazes at the spot where Ian has stood before he flees. He went into confusion, thinking what made Ian shocked and what had just happen. There was blood on the blade he uses to held, but the thing is that Brooklyn didn't felt him being stab four times. But then his mind of trailing thoughts broke as he hears sudden fast breathing and notices Jess in front of him.
"Jess?!" his voice wavered at the thought that Jess must have gotten between them to take the damage that was meant for him. He didn't want to believe that she has done that; risking her life to protect him. Did she remember he was a vampire and he could take any damage from a human?
He notice Jess was standing, her arms stretch out in front of him, but she was trembling, in pain. She staggers back and almost stumbles down to the floor, but Brooklyn caught her, and he gently laid her on the ground.
He took a look at Jess as he notice she was breathing shallower by the minute. Her voice in pain called his name. She tried to move up but was put down by Brooklyn.
"Brooklyn, I don't know how long I have."
"Jess! Please don't speak and move, you'll make it worse."
Brooklyn gazes at the abdomen seeing some blood leaking out from it. Brooklyn grabs the hem of her shirt and tore it to reveal her flesh on her stomach only. His eyes were in fear and this was serious; four thin and deep wounds, blood seeping out by the minute; a minute close for Jess's fate. The future that Jess would have dream of having from a little girl to be gone by death. He didn't want this to be Jess's fate.
"Jess, let me change you, please?!" he begged.
Change...Change into a vampire; a creature that he is now and forever be.
"No… No I can't!" Jess answered, "My family, my friends!"
She couldn't have a chance to see her family members again since it was almost a year, and her friends would worry of what happen to Jess. She prefers to die than change; at least they would know of her fate.
"Jess, please!" he begged "I am not ready for this to come; I was hoping this wouldn't come at all. Jess I love you, I don't want to lose you because of me!"
Jess was shocked at the words he said, he didn't wanted to lose her; that's how much he loves her. Then she notices if she weren't to change and die, all the people she knew and love would mourn in pain and sadness. But unless change at least she had someone to be happy; the one that loves her as she loves him.
"Brooklyn," she said softly, she smile and nodded, "Please change me."
With out hesitation, Brooklyn held her hand tightly and said, "Jess, this will be painful at first, but once you are change, you day is your night and your night is your day. You'll have the beauty that is rare and unnatural; you'll live an immortal life, but you must drink blood to stay alive. Now, it's time."
With the hand he held her hand he brought it up to his lips, his fangs pierce her flesh and some of the blood drip slowly from the fresh new wound. Once the wound was make he then bit his own wrist, hid bloody seeping out, but he suck his blood in his mouth, enough to let it course through Jess's body before he drinks her dry.
He place his mouth back to Jess's wounded wrist, and he spits the blood into her wrist hoping that the Dark Trick will work. He removes his mouth after pushing the blood into her veins and arteries of her wrist, and waited a few moments before he had to do the finale.
"Jess."
Jess's eyes gazes on Brooklyn's eyes for a moment. The love in them was strong in the time that Jess's fate must come. Brooklyn leans in and captures her lips softly, giving her one final kiss in her human life. He pulls back after a while knowing what he must do and told her, "What ever happens, I will still love you."
Not far from the roof of the building, Garland finally found Brooklyn. However, Garland was confused of what Brooklyn was doing. He was kissing a girl, who seemed to be stabbed, but maybe not from him.
"What are you doing Brooklyn?" Garland asked as his icy-blue eyes saw the scenery in front of him.
It was then that he notices Brooklyn held on of her arms, and cover his mouth with her wrist, thinking that Brooklyn was going to drain her blood. He senses that the girl's death was nearer than a second as Brooklyn drank the crimson liquid, letting it go down to his stomach.
But he notices her other arm that was aside and beginning to get limp was bleeding.
'Wait a minute,' Garland thought, 'is Brooklyn going to change her?!'
His thoughts were broken when he saw someone, someone who seems to be watching what's going on. A male, has light-green hair, and lilac eyes was looking at Brooklyn and the unknown girl, eye-wide.
'Oh, no! If he knew that Brooklyn's a vampire, then he might inform them and we'll be history. I got to kill him!'
Once Brooklyn finished drinking, he let go of her hand, gently resting it on the ground. He has to let her die of blood loss now, and it would be very soon that she be in the eternal darkness of death.
Jess looks at Brooklyn's ocean blue eyes, as she saw it watering, almost beginning to shed tears of sadness and pain.
'At least he'll be the only one to be happy of my fate,' Jess thought, 'my family, my friends, and God…please forgive me for my choice in life.'
"Brooklyn, don't worry. I will be fine. I will see you soon."
She moved her head with the only little strength as she could do, since she was coming to the death realm. Her eyes stare in fear, as she recognizes someone who is staring at her right now.
'Oliver?'
But then she notices a shadow; a silhouette of someone coming behind Oliver and notices something sharp, glitter in the small dim light; a dagger.
Her eyes then became scared that whoever the person is; he wants to kill Oliver.
'Oliver, please look behind you!'
But it was too late…
The shadowed person struck the dagger at Oliver, his chest bleeds with his own blood. And a few moments, Oliver fell down to his knees and then flatly on the ground.
'No…'
Jess's vision then fades into the darkness; her last vision before death. Oliver killed by someone covered in shadows. Something she didn't want to see before she die, but was too late. The darkness swept over her vision, as she close her eyes; her heart beating has come to a halt and her breathing was no longer existed.
She was dead…
