Willow's Daymare By: Hayley Bates ( Rei)

The problem with playing human is you have to control every impulse and act weak. Also the problem for me is I look 16, And in the human world you can't do anything at the age 16 like drink, smoke, get a job, buy a house or a car, and there is no way to get any money except to become part of a family. But another thing with being part of a family is that family will send you to school. But at my age of 678 years I really know everything and cause many of the historical dates. The name that was given to me when I was a vampire was Willow Darkheart. I have shoulder length wavy light red hair with ruby highlights. My eyes are at the moment black with hints of silver and gold in the retina. I am small for the age I appear which would have been perfect height when I was human even though today children find it funny for people to be different. I was vicious creature and a master of the art of killing, hunting, and changing my identity. I had wanted to become something famous when I was young like a queen or princess but nothing every happened to me that was this good. Becoming a vampire led me to find that just because you were poor or dying doesn't mean you can't change for the good/evil in my world that is. Those three skills have kept me alive for so long. Now I am at my well hundredth or so family and I am being forced to go to school with human children. The children here are annoying, cruel, disgusting, rude, weak, and most of all stupid. For me I am smaller then these humans but I am much stronger. Those humans are edging me on by being cruel to a Master Vampire that has sired many and slain more. Well here let me get to my day at this horrible place called Clearview High School. Chapter I Welcome to my daymare.

"WILLOW, WILLOW. Wait up girl. You know you're faster then you look." Yelled Sage. Sage was a tall skinny girl with dark blue hair, and an obsession for penguins. Well, well sage what's up with you today because you look happier then usual? Sage laughed and said, "Just had coffee no big deal. But it is a big deal when you have coffee girl. You get all jumpy and wig out massively well also I was able to snag that cutie in first period, you know that guy, Riley Crewmen." "That's really great there Sage and I hope you two don't split up like some people do." Willow said trying hard to sound like caring "Well Willow I have to go to class see you later." Sage waved to Willow and walked up the stairs. Next thing Willow knew she was falling on her butt because some child wasn't paying attention. As she began to pick up her shattered sunglasses, searching for her ring, a hand came down, and the boy attached to the hand said, "Hello my name is Demo, do you need any help. umm wait what's your name?" "My name is Willow and no I don't need help." She replied angrily. But she still kept looking for her ring that meant the world to her and if she'd lost it then all hell will break lose. Then the voice returned and asked, "Are you looking for a ring?" Willow looked up to see this Demo character with her ring in his palm smiling wickedly. She snatched it from him and gently placed it on her ring finger. When she stood, she was giving the world a look at her outfit, which today was composed of baggy black cargo pants with lime green piping along the sides and pockets also an camouflage shirt that said "oh shit! It's snowing." Also heavy combat boots and about 33 colored bracelets of each wrist. But the three items that pulled her out fit together was a silver pentagram, a gold hoop in her nose and last the set of eight chains that hung from her wallet in her back pocket. The boy smiled and headed off to class leaving Willow alone, she had been hoping for all morning. Lunch came too soon. The people that if in any other situation would be dead in minutes again surrounded Willow. She had to be dreaming because in no other situation would she stoop herself to that lowest point of being considered prey for a vampire, werewolf, or demon. As the tables started to fill and the cafeteria grew louder with noise, she couldn't help but sense the vampiric aura mixed with the rest of the humans. Also what calmed her more was this was a new aura not a vampire she knew either. She wanted to meet the owner of this aura soon or she'd go insane. About ten minutes into lunch a blunt bite on her throat caught her off guard she slowly turned but as a reflex she built up power just in case and there stood an old friend.

Chapter II

She grabbed his arm, jerked him down to the table, and began to speak. "It took you long enough Ambrose. I was becoming worried that you had forgotten my predicament. Also I hate waiting." Ambrose smiled and kissed her on the cheek and said, "sorry I had eviler things I had to kill and well I forgot too." To Willow, Ambrose was more human than vampire. His hair was died blonde with the black roots showing through. He was very sweet and always kept a promise but if he was getting paid for another job at the same time as a non paying job he'd go for the money real fast. But mostly she relied on him to come through with interesting things and saving her from horrible families she got placed with. She watched his eyes fallow Sage from the door of the bathroom over to the table and he finally blinked when she sat down across from him. "So Willow who's you friend?" Sage asked. She had to think fast of a logical answer for Ambrose other than the truth. " He is a friend that just transferred here from Verona, Italy. His name is Ambrose and he is staying with me a while." Willow explained. Then Ambrose spoke in Italian to Willow telling her "its great we know so many languages because if not I'd have to be in your mind all the time and that may or may not be fun, you think." Sage just smiled and asked, "Does he know English Willow?" Willow shrugged and said, "Dunno he speaks a lot of languages I think English might be in there too?" Ambrose smiled again and kissed Willow again just to show Sage that he was Willow's and no one else's. "So you are playing human again?" Ambrose mocked like trying to live was funny to him. "Ambrose you know I have to play these games to survive in this world where you need money to even survive day to day." Willow scolded. Ambrose raked his fingers through his hair and letting his bangs fall forward into his eyes. "So what about you Ambrose, anything new or something old I don't know about?" Willow said changing the subject. Ambrose laughed then pushed Willow up against some lockers and said, "you know Will, I do want to tell you everything, but somethings are better off unsaid. Well like this." He leaned forward and kissed her and like all vampires do, he caught her tongue with one of his sharp canines and let the blood drip into his mouth. When he pulled away Willow's eyes darted around the room, only to find some gawking on lookers, Sage (she was whistling), and that Demo character who almost looked hurt, but that slide right off when Ambrose gave her another kiss but this one soft and sweet. Even though she added a couple bits to his lips but not even drawing blood. Ambrose entered Willow's mind and said meet me in the parking lot and I'll take you out to feed on something alive and healthy. She couldn't say no to that, so to say yes she added another kiss but this one had more tongue and less biting, purely human. She needed a good kill to be thinking that.

Chapter III

Willow walked out into the parking lot to find Ambrose lounging on a black 1967 Malibu. She smiled and said, "So where did you get the car? I like it, its so you." He smiled and said, "What do you mean me? Like as in old and vintage or dark and fast?" "Well both and did I say I liked it?" she added. Willow climbed into the car and watched Ambrose climb in the other side, pull out the keys, and start the engine. Loud music filled the car and made the doors vibrate. His music was hard, loud, full base and intoxicating. He sped off campus towards down town were there's plenty of clubs. Willow reached up for a chain that dangled from the rear view mirror. This chain held about fifteen charms. Willow knew what each meant and or belonged too. But the two that caught her eye the most were the two names that hung off. The names where Gabriel and Annabelle. Willow frown at the woman's name trying not to remember that girl who belonged to the name. But the mans name she didn't know. "Hey do you know the day we met? I'll never forget you didn't have a sire name so I gave you yours and you gave me mine remember. We met as Annabelle and Gabriel but we became known as Willow and Ambrose." Ambrose reminded her of her past again. Willow nodded her head in response to Ambrose's jabbering. He finally found a club worth the time and money. He pulled me over and said "you pick any human in there and I'll get them for you and I won't make you share either." He kissed and let her linger there for a second before she pulled away and said, "Hold on a moment cowboy." Willow dug into one of her pockets, came out with a cell phone, and began to dial. Soon she began to speak. "Hello mom? Yeah this is Willow I'm staying after for the football game and then going to dinner with my friends. I will be home later okay. Bye." Ambrose laughed and said, "Oh, my poor dear, they have you playing human too well. We must save you and have time to kill before this place opens to the night crowd." He flipped the seat back, scooted into the back seat, and motioned for me to join him. She slid back to him, laid her head on his chest, and listened to nothing- no heartbeat. Ambrose quietly said, "Annabelle I . I . umm. well I .want.umm. I want to do what we did back during the Boxer Rebellion after we devoured all those people." A sly smile crept onto Willow's face. He was brave enough to use her real name and he asked. She had known him enough to know that when he wanted something so bad he usually just took it and didn't ask but this surprised her and decided to say "yes bad boy, I except." She pulled off the black shirt he had on first, then pulled the white long sleeved one second instead of at the same time the began to kiss his chest. She let her mind freely open to his and they became incased in memories while their bodies acted them out. She closed her eyes when he kissed her. The memory of them having sex in that china man's bed during the rebellion gave her a better memory of how good he was in bed. Ambrose started to unzip his pants when a hard pounding brought them out of memories. They looked out the windshield to see Turner. She was a vampire a little older then Willow but yet had a reputation For seduction rather then killing and mass massacre. Willow slid to the front seat, opened the door and stepped out. "I haven't seen you two in a long while but when I find you, you're fucking each other. Man don't you two ever get tired?" Turner joked around. "I like the look. Very going against vampire lore but hey you never where sane huh?" Willow complemented and teased. Turner's hair was long and bleached blonde with thick red streaks, her black eyes were covered bright blue, and over all she was gorgeous. "So you two making trouble again and if you are can I help." Turner asked in curiosity. Ambrose finally got out of his car and locked the door. "Sure girly, there is plenty of room in our massacre wagon." Ambrose liked telling jokes before he killed. "Well Turner, I am taking dear Will here to feed on something good because she has been playing human again and it is hurtful to watch." Ambrose informed Turner as he hugged Willow tight. So all three vampires went walking into the club to find a prey worth feeding on and maybe even changing into their own fledgling. Ambrose soon spotted a girl and pointed her out to Willow. She noticed that the girl he was pointing at was Sage one of her human friends. She said to Ambrose "yes she looks good but I want to change her though. That will be the only way I feed on her okay boy." So he kissed her and walked over to where Sage was dancing. "So sage, I noticed that your very beautiful, would you like to dance with me and Willow." " Ahh, so you do speak English now. Why not before?" She asked. His response was "didn't feel like it." "Sure what ever, where is she?" Sage answered. "She is over there standing by the bar, come on." Ambrose told her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her over to Willow. "Hey Sage, how are you?" Willow greeted Sage. Willow couldn't contain herself much more she told Ambrose in his mind, through thoughts that and also they needed to get away from people. He agreed and willed all three to his car. As soon as they were outside Willow let her canines unsheathe then clamped down on Sages neck piercing skin and a vein then letting the blood flow into her awaiting mouth. Soon Sage's heart stopped beating and that meant that Willow would have to pull away and give up her own blood to change this girl. As she pulled away Ambrose saw what she was about to do, took the body away, and began to do it for her. He bit down on his wrist drawing blood then giving it to the girl. As most dying humans do she took the offered blood and let it drip into her mouth. Soon though she began to suck on his wrist drawing more and more until he pulled his wrist away and dropped her.
