Chapter 3: The Catch

Rei left the dancehall and headed out onto the streets. It was drizzling, the air was chilly, and the sky was a dark bluish-black color. The full moon drifted slowly in and out of sight behind the clouds. As Rei continued on his way home, he realized that the streets were deserted, and were much quieter than usual. Once in a while a car would drive past Rei, splashing water at his feet.

Rei sighed and checked his watched again. It now read: 2:48am. He knew that if he took his normal route home, he reach there in thirty minutes. Meaning, he would get home at 3:19am. That wasn't good enough for him. He needed to take his trusty shortcut through the back allies. Rei was very familiar with the back allies because he always used them when he was in a tight situation. Like when he was late for school and stuff like that. So surely nothing would happen this time around. Right? (SS: yeah...that is right. *shifts eyes suspiciously*)

Rei entered the dark allies, unaware that a pair of hungry eyes were watching his every move. At first everything was going fine. Occasionally, Rei would hear small crackling sounds, but he figured that they were just stray animals, and decided to ignore them. Rei continued down the alley. The alley seemed to turn left, so Rei followed. As soon as he walked around the corner, a pair of hands grabbed Rei and pinned him against the wall, blocking his escape.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "My goodness! What happened after that?" Chris interrupted Rei, worriedly. He had been writing down everything Rei was saying, and his pen was currently shaking in his hand. Rei sighed, "I'll tell you, but stop interrupting me!" "Sorry," Chris apologized quickly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Continuation of Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as he walked around the corner a pair of hands grabbed Rei and pinned him against the wall, blocking his escape. Rei struggled in a futile attempt to fight off the figure, but they were just too strong. He was about to scream, but the figure clamped a hand over his mouth. Rei stared up at his captor, who stood almost a head taller than him. It was a male. He seemed to be a couple years older than Rei. He had ice-cold crimson eyes, and bluish-gray hair framed his face. He had the most flawless, and smooth skin Rei had ever seen. He was dressed in a long black leather coat, the bottom of the coat brushed against the ground. He wore matching black pants, and a dangerous smirk.

The bluish-gray haired boy observed Rei carefully. As he stared into Rei's amber eyes, he could tell that Rei was starting to become entranced by his cold, and crimson ones. But, before Rei could be hypnotized any longer, he resisted and managed to break free. This interested the stranger to a great extent. None of his victims had ever done that before.

He grinned maliciously.

(Oh God, what does this guy want from me anyway? Is he going to rape me, or something?) Rei wondered to himself, he was scared to his very core, and that thought sure wasn't helping.

"Don't worry I have no intention of raping you," the stranger said in a reassuring whisper, as if he could tell what Rei was thinking. He couldn't, but he just figured it was what going through this young boy's mind.

"W-who are you? And what do you want from me then?" Rei asked nervously, afraid to know the answer. The crimson-eyed stranger leaned in close to Rei, their lips almost touching. Rei tried, but he couldn't move back, because he was still pinned to the wall. "Don't tell me you don't know who I am, Rei," the stranger smirked, sensing Rei's uneasiness. "H-how do you know m-my name?" Rei asked, struggling to keep his voice from shaking. "Not important. But, if you really want to know who I am, the name's Kai, and I'm a vampire," the crimson-eyed boy told Rei, in a whisper that made his skin crawl.

It was only then that Rei noticed two long, and sharp teeth poking out from in Kai's mouth. Rei's eyes widened in fear, before he could say anything else, Kai cupped Rei's face with one hand. "I'm starving and I want a meal," he hissed in Rei's ear, he tilted Rei's head exposing his neck. "I can't remember how long it's been since I last fed. It's such a shame that I have to do this to you. You definitely seem like someone I'd like to get to know...oh well!" He lowered his face to Rei's neck, his teeth barely scraping it. By instinct Rei quickly pushed him off. Kai looked at him questioningly, they both knew Kai was physically stronger.

"M-maybe you don't have to bite me then," Rei suggested. "What do you mean?" Kai inquired. "I'm a vampire, it's what I do!" "Yeah, but you said you really didn't want to," Rei reminded him. "And, even though you're a vampire, you should never let your instincts get the best of you." Rei didn't care if he was talking nonsense, he was basically just trying to make conversation, so he could delay his demise. "So you're saying that if I bite you, I'll be giving in to my instincts?" the crimson-eyed boy asked, doubtingly. "Yeah!" Rei answered. Seeing that Kai was deep in thought, he used this opportunity to wiggle out of his grasp. "You're one lucky kid, ya know that?" Kai said quietly, before turning sharply on his heels and walking off. "Wait! Where are you going now?" Rei asked his retreating back. Kai turned around frowning. "None of your business! Just go home alright? And, don't come out this late at night anymore," Kai warned bluntly. "But..." Rei began before he was interrupted. "You're lucky that of all the vampires you could've met tonight, you met me. If your fate was in the hands of any other vampire...you would have been dead by now!" and with that said, Kai turned around and stormed off. Rei just watched him for a moment, before he too began to head on home.

He was almost out of the alley, when suddenly he felt someone grab his waist from behind, and stuff a cloth in his face. He screamed and tried to fight them off, but all attempts were futile. Slowly, he began to feel lightheaded, and the last thing he remembered before he completely past out was a voice say, "Man! First catch of the night! Who's hungry?"

Oh yeah! Who's mean? That's right...ME! I did this on purpose. I purposely ended the chapter here, so that more peoples would review! The faster you review, the faster I update!

You know how Rei past out after the cloth was stuffed in his face, well it was because there was a certain type of drug in it. I read somewhere that bad guys use to do that to their victims, some still do. It's basically an easy way to get someone completely under your control. By the way, I'm not speaking from personal experience. (*eyes shift suspiciously*) No but seriously, I'm not.

*sighs* it seems like not a lot of people are reading this fic. (SS: no offence to those who are. You are my motivation. Keep it up! *_~) Anyway if there are more people reading, don't be afraid to review. I won't continue unless I have at least...ummm...hmmm...twelve reviews! Till then, CHOW! ^_^
