Sara was taken in for questioning that day. She missed the whole day of school in fact.
"Did you know Kate?" asked a burly man by the name of Detective Ross.
"Not personally." She replied.
"Did you have any grudges against her?" he asked, sounding more threatening by the second.
"No, of course not." Sara tried her best to look totally bewildered.
"Do you know of any one who would want Kate dead?" His face was now only a few centimetres from hers and she could smell his cologne.
"Kate wasn't a very likeable person to some, she was a bully and upset a lot of people. But I wouldn't expect any of them to kill her."
"You're not telling me the whole truth are you?" he asked.
"Look, this is all I know, I've told you everything I can!" she almost shouted. The fact was, she did know more then she was saying, but hey, its not like she could say, 'yes, I know who killed her, the vampires. They get thirsty you know. But it's nothing personal on her behalf.'
"You can go now, just report to the front desk and let them know that you've left. You do understand that you could be in serious, immediate danger don't you?" he asked, "You are allowed to request a body guard."
"I think I'll be fine." She said and trudged her way outside. It was almost dark and she was hungry so she decided to go to the Digital Bean and grab something to eat. It was packed, as usual for six o'clock at night.
She sat down at one of the tables and pondered the menu. After deciding on a banana thick shake, fries and a cheeseburger, she sat back to think. She picked a piece of lint of her Marcs Jeans and adjusted her Ralph Lauren shirt. She remembered that this had been Kate's favourite outfit of Sara's and then took silent condolences and was thankful that Kate hadn't seen her wearing it twice in one month.
Her food came after about fifteen minutes and she began eating. This was her first meal since breakfast and she was famished.
"And what's a pretty girl like you doing all on her own?" A voice came from over her shoulder.
Sara pursed her lips into a thin smile and replied, "Larry."
"I feel it would be the only gentlemanly thing to do if I joined you." He sat down and helped himself to some of Sara's fries.
"Look Larry, I really just want to be alone right now. " she raised her eyebrows.
"Oh but you shouldn't be alone right now, not after all that has happened with Kate. No it just wouldn't be right for me to leave you on you own. You need to be around friends."
"Yeah, you know, you're absolutely right," She gestured at the waitress who had served her, "The bill please."
Larry smiled.
"Larry, I have to go be around friends. See ya."
Sara left him standing there, open mouthed with a shocked look plastered on his face.
Once outside she took a deep breath and shivered. It wasn't exactly a warm night.
"Hey little lady."
She spun around, hand already grasping her stake. She took up a battle stance and...
"Whoa, Sara, it's just me." Gordo cried.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry, just a little jumpy tonight, you know?" She said, her rate coming back to normal.
"Yeah, I get ya. So you heading home?" he asked, slipping his hand into his pockets.
"Actually I was going patrolling, you know, see if I can find the vamp that killed Kate, " she said, "Come along if you want."
"Cool, do I get to kill any?" He asked eagerly.
Sara laughed, "We'll see, there might not even be any out tonight."
"Ok, but I hope there are." Gordo said.
Sara couldn't help but smile as he spoke, he sounded like he was a little boy and was just told he could get anything he wanted from his favourite candy shop, free of charge.
For the first hour, they saw nothing, and it wasn't until they were making there way through the cemetery that the first vampire appeared. And it was just as Sara had feared. Kate had risen.
"Sara, please help me, I'm so cold, so thirsty." Kate was covered in dirt.
Sara launched into action, pounding Kate with her fists and feet. Once Kate was on the ground, Sara chucked the stake at Gordo.
"Slam it into her chest!" She called out.
And he did so. Kate exploded in a cloud of dust.
"Did you know Kate?" asked a burly man by the name of Detective Ross.
"Not personally." She replied.
"Did you have any grudges against her?" he asked, sounding more threatening by the second.
