Chapter 2: The party
~*~*~*~*~*~*
As Sarah came down the stairs, the auras of the room hit her. She knew that there were vampires and that she was now one, but it still made her skin prickle when she came in contact with them. Her aura, however, had mingled with her new vampire one to form one more like an Arun witch's, still one of a witch but definitely vampire in there. The music was blasting and she could feel the beat.
She found Kristopher, he was over with his sister, Nissa. They were still going to high school, while Sarah had stopped, since, she technically, was dead. The school had been told that much and if she did go back Dominique would find her and would kill her. So for the first time in her life Sarah didn't have to worry about how early the next day she would have to get up. Anyway, she greeted Kristopher with a kiss.
"You look beautiful tonight." he said.
"Thank you," Sarah said, "Are you sure all the people here are in a way still willing to be feed on because erasing their memories are a little tiring and I don't know if I can tonight."
"In a way yes and they if they aren't, I know who are and could show you Sarah." Nissa said.
Nissa had been glad that Sarah didn't kill herself. She had known Sarah wouldn't, but there was still that fear that she might have. She really liked Sarah and it was nice to have a girl to confide in, even though she hadn't been able to break Sarah's shell until she had died. Nissa also felt a connection to Sarah because she had been the one to help Sarah learn to feed with out killing the donor. 'Well since Sarah was a Vida witch,' Nissa though 'she couldn't take a human life even if she wanted to, vampire fine but nothing that was human'. Nissa also figured that Sarah would not really try to resist, and by resist she meant flat out try and kill, another witch.
The party was going pretty well, there were a lot of people there. Of course there were the ones who liked to be there, to be feed upon. Then there were the ones that Nikolas had invited, special. Sarah tried not to think about those ones, in case she were to see the actual event happen and revert back to her hunter witch mode. That could mean a lot of trouble for Sarah because it had taken these 3 months just to get the other vampires to even think she wasn't going to kill them, let alone trust Sarah. No Sarah really liked it here and didn't want to leave so soon, so she always put that thought out of her mind.
Sarah could sense something amiss in the room however. She couldn't think of what it was and couldn't actually feel anything out of the ordinary, but still something seemed...off. This some what unsettling to the former Vida witch, but she knew she needed to feed and maybe that was what she was feeling, the blood lust. 'Yeah' she thought 'that was probably it', 'but it never felt like this before' said a little voice at the back of her head. 'Well maybe not but I can't dwell on it now'.
She came up to a human boy. Not much, he was cute with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was here to be feed on, however, and Sarah knew this. She had seen pictures that Kristopher had shown her from the year book and other things about who were here to be feed on. He also projected in his mind the thought of wanting to be feed upon. Sarah, still sort of new at this, engaged him in a conversation first.
"Hi, I'm Sarah, been to many of these before?"
"Yeah, this one is ok, by the way I'm Harrison." he said.
"So what do you like to do?" Sarah asked after a pregnant pause.
"Look I think you might be new at this, well I know you are a vampire, your eyes give you away," Sarah realized this and felt a little stupid, "you don't really have to engage me in a conversation. You could always just ask if you could feed and then, if you really like clear it from my mind. Oh yeah I have heard about what your kind can do." Harrison finished, Sarah was a little bit taken aback but thought it would be a good idea to just ask now, that Harrison had been so frank about things.
"Ok, um... could I, er, you know..." Sarah felt uneasy about this, she had never really asked anyone before, she had always just sort of slipped into their minds and then made them forget when she was done, thats what she had thought was right.
Harrison could hear her unease and then saw it in her face. "Sure, you can, I really don't mind. You don't have to be embarrassed either, its ok and I know you knew before hand."
With that he bent his neck in such a way that the major artery was, just so Sarah could get a better view of it and be able to feed better. Sarah felt her fangs sink into his skin and then the rush of warm blood and the memories. They were mostly of school and other meaningless things, although there was an interesting one about his mother and how she would yell at him when she got drunk enough, but that quickly faded. When she was finished Sarah decided not to alter the boy's memory because she could see no point. She thanked him, then felt a little strange for saying that and quickly left.
The strange feeling came back. Sarah began to think it wasn't just her being hungry or that she wasn't used to how her own body felt yet. She looked around and noticed something amiss. A younger vampire, by which she meant when he was changed he was a year younger than her, but he had been a vampire for about ten years so she was actually younger than he was, was talking to a girl who seemed to fit in to perfectly. She also seemed to be hiding something. Her fears were confirmed when the two went outside, where they could be alone.
Sarah knew what the girl was the minuet they went outside. She was a witch, and even thought the rational part of Sarah's brain screamed not to go outside and not to do anything, that the witch was doing the right thing, Sarah had become friends with the vampire and could not see him die, not now. She raced across the room, however no one really noticed, the music was blaring and everyone was dancing or talking.
Once outside, the girl let the vampire get close to her. 'Leech' she thought and then once she was sure they were alone, she drew her knife. At that moment when the girl had caught the vampire unaware, Sarah counterattacked. She grabbed the girl's arm and bent it enough just to get it to hurt and drop the knife. Dominique had done this with Sarah when she was learning, to try to teach her not to drop the knife. This girl obviously didn't have the same extensive training as Sarah. The other vampire had fled the instant Sarah had arrived.
It was now just Sarah and the girl. But unlike what Sarah thought she would do, once Sarah let go of the girl's arm, the girl straightened up and looked Sarah in the eye. She looked vaguely familiar to Sarah but she could not place this girl, with her blonde highlights and green eyes. She was almost as tall as Sarah, maybe an inch shorter and didn't look older than Sarah probably sixteen. Then the girl addressed her:
"I have been looking for you Sarah Vida, your mother wanted me to give you a warning, 'Fall on the knife or I will hunt you down, Leech'" The girl said.
"Who are you?" Sarah wanted to know.
"I am a distant cousin of yours, my name is Rachel Vida Evens and I hope we never meet again because I don't what to kill you." And with that the girl ran and hopped the fence.

Thanks for your questions!
