Chapter 2: The Arrival

There was a knock at the door, Chris answered it. "Y-you came," was all he could say, as he gawked in amazement at the raven- haired teenager standing at the door. Rei looked incredible! His long raven hair was flowing down his back. He was clad in a tight, beige muscle shirt, which was worn under a black leather jacket, and dark form fitting jeans.

"Come in," Chris said eagerly. Rei followed Chris through his house, and into the living room. He motioned for Rei to sit on one of the couches, which were near the fireplace. The raven-haired boy sat down, before allowing his amber eyes to curiously scan his surroundings, taking in a glimpse of everything in the dimly lit room. Rei had to admit, the living room setting was very comfortable. He figured it was to make the person being interviewed feel at ease. Suddenly, Rei was interrupted from his thoughts. "Before we begin, would you like anything to eat?" Chris asked politely, never taking his eyes off Rei. "No thanks," was Rei's quick answer. "Drink?" Chris asked, hopefully.

"Maybe just some water," Rei said quietly. "Coming up," Chris said, as he disappeared into the kitchen. He soon returned balancing a waiter with two glasses of water on it. He placed it on the coffee table in front of Rei's couch, before sitting down on the chair across from him.

"So, let's get this interview started! Uh...Rei you say that you've lead in interesting life. Would you care to begin?" Chris asked him. "Yeah," said the raven-haired boy. "But before I do, I have to tell you something," Rei said, lowering his gaze to the floor. Chris picked up his glass of water, took a sip, and waited patiently.

"I," began Rei, shyly. "I'm a vampire," he confessed, still staring at the ground. Chris spat out the water in his mouth, and began to laugh. Rei's head shot up, and his amber eyes narrowed. "Why do you laugh?" he demanded. "I brought you here, into my house for this?" Chris asked, his voice suddenly sounding very serious. "You don't believe me?" Rei asked dangerously. "Well, it's just that there's no such thing," Chris said, quietly, feeling a little bit intimidated.

"Hmpf," laughed Rei. "Typical human thinking. All humans are exactly alike," he muttered. (SS: No offence everyone. I know it's not true. ^_^) "What do you mean?" Chris inquired.

"Whenever you humans can't see, hear, or feel something, you immediately jump to the conclusion that it's not real. Must you constantly see with your eyes in order to believe?" Rei yelled. "Well here's your proof!" he opened his mouth, exposing two long, needle sharp fangs. Chris' olive-green eyes widened and his mouth dropped, but he quickly shut it. He could feel guilt coming over him. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't know," Chris stammered. Rei grinned, completely amused at Chris' shocked expression. "It's okay, I *suppose* I forgive you. "Great! Let's get back to our interview shall we?" Chris smiled. Rei nodded.

"So um," began Chris. "Is it true what people say about vampires. You know, the fact that they turn into bats, and only come out at night and stuff?" "It's all crap. The only thing that's true is that we drink blood and don't age," Rei explained, his gaze returning to the floor.

"Rei, speaking of age," began Chris. "How old are you?" This question completely caught Rei off guard, and he had to think about it for a moment. "I'm twenty-seven...no! Twenty-eight." "You're twenty-eight?" Chris gasped, surprised that this seemingly "kid" was only two years younger than him. "You don't look any older than seventeen!" Rei smiled slightly at Chris' statement, knowing how true it was.

Chris immediately rampaged through his suitcase, which was currently on the floor beside him. He finally took out a pen, and a professional looking notebook. "Would you like to begin?" Rei nodded and began his tale.

"It all started when I was sixteen," Rei explained, his gaze unfocused as if he was trying to remember. "I was always going to late night parties with my buds Richard and Kyle. We were really popular and were invited to all the most happening parties, because everyone knew a party was nothing without us there. My life was perfect back then," Rei sighed. "I had money, friends, girls, and I was even expecting a car for my seventeenth birthday. The only thing that sucked in my life was my curfew. I was sixteen and still had a curfew of 11:30pm. My parents were the overprotective type. Anyway, little did I know that my life would soon be turned upside down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Normal POV

It was Friday night. Rei and his friends, Richard and Kyle were at the best party they had been to all year. It was held in a large dance hall. There were couches to chill on, snack tables, a beyblading stadium and to top it all off, the best D.J. in town was there!

Richard was on the dance floor with some of the guys, showing off their moves. Kyle could be found bothering girls, and trying to get as many of their phone numbers as possible, and he was doing a pretty good job too. And Rei, the ladies man of the group, could be found on one of the expensive couches, telling hilarious stories to a large group of teenage girls. They were sitting on his left and right. Some of the girls even sat on the floor in front of the couch, just to be near him. There was even a girl sitting across Rei's lap.

Rei was done with all his funny stories, and was currently telling the girls a scary story. "So then what happened to her, Rei?" the girl on his lap asked him, nervously. "Well," began Rei. "Sarah heard another tap at her window, so she got out of bed!" "No!" many of the girls squealed. "Why would she do that?"

"Anyway," Rei continued. "Sarah looked at her window realizing it was broken! Getting nervous, she backed away from the window, and decided to leave the room. But, when she turned around there was a man standing in her room, holding.a chainsaw!" "AAAA!" the girls around Rei shrieked, some grabbing him and burying their faces into his shirt.

Rei smirked at their reactions, and continued his story. "The man lowered the chainsaw over Sarah's head and...OH SHIT!" Rei interrupted suddenly, peering down at his watch. "What's wrong Rei?" the girls asked him, worriedly. "Nothing!" Rei lied, before standing up and walking over to his friends, leaving the girls looking dumbstruck.

Rei snatched Richard off the dance floor, and Kyle away from his own group of girls. He dragged them off into the corner of the room. "Rei, what's wrong?" asked Richard. "Yeah, Rei. Sup wit you?" Kyle inquired, sounding a bit angry that he had been separated from his girlfriends. "I forgot about my curfew!" Rei panicked.

"Again with the curfew thing?" Richard moaned. "This isn't funny you guys. It's 2:30am!" Rei informed them. "I was suppose to be home three hours ago! I've gotta go!" "What?" cried Kyle. "You can't leave now! I rented a hotel room for each of us, so we can spend the night doing *stuff* with our lady friends!" he said, emphasizing on the word stuff, as if trying to put ideas into Rei's head.

"Yeah and besides, the streets of this city are dangerous at nighttime," Richard added. "There're all kinds of creeps out there this time of night!" "My parents are gonna kill me if I come home tomorrow!" Rei tried to explain. "I'm leaving now. Are you two coming?" Kyle and Richard shook their heads.

"Like I said before," began Kyle. "I booked us all hotel rooms. I don't want *all* my money to go to waste." "Fine," said Rei, trying not to sound to disappointed. "See ya then." Turning sharply on his heels, Rei walked through the large crowds of teens who were dancing, eating, and talking. Finally he reached the door. "Rei wait!" Richard called, running up to him. "Call me when you get home, okay? Just wanna make sure you get there safely," Richard explained.

"Thanks, Rich. I will," Rei promised, with a smile before heading out the door. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Silly Rei! It's *always* a bad idea to go anywhere by yourself late at night. Owww! What will happen to Rei once he leaves the party? Will he die, or something like that?..I'm not telling you! Read and Review Please!^_^ Hope you liked this chappie!
