Stargazing was a brilliantly beautiful thing. The air was comfortable, and with the stars shimmering it was almost magical.
Whatever…
I was sprawled out on the ground, a bottle of amaretto, have empty in my scratched hands. I was starring up towards the night sky, not necessarily looking at anything. I was playing David's words in her mind. "We are vampires."
I closed my eyes and took a long swig. The images of David and the boys, then David's demon flashed like lighting striking through my skull.
"Drink this Krystal, be one of us." His eyes were glowing as he spoke, his words coated with pleasure. The pleasure of creating another.
Marko and Dwayne were spilling words of encouragement towards me. My ears were ringing.
Paul was at my side his eyes full of hope.
I took the bottle from David, his laughter was filling the thick air. "Drink." It was another command. I raised the bottle to my lips. They were chanting, laughing, his eyes were on me. The top of the bottle was smooth and cold. My nostrils filled with the scent, it was rich and warm. I blinked several times. I know that scent.
Then it hit me. What the hell was I doing? David was pleased, his smile menacing. I felt the bottle slip through my fingers. The world was turning slower now. The bottle seemed suspended by an invisible force. Then it ended with a crash. Silence poured over them. The crimson liquid pooled around the shards of glass. Judging by the look of outraged on David's face I was toast.
"You! You are either on of us or dead." His hands were around my coat collar; he was the demon from the other night. I was the helpless whore. "I am trying to make you immortal!" He shouted causing me to shake uncontrollably.
"David!" Paul placed his hand on his shoulder only to pull it back after tasting a bit of David's cold glare.
"David man, it was an accident." Marko was on my side.
I had enough I had to push back. I was surprised at my strength and myself as I pushed David back from me. "Stop it! All of you!" I screamed. "This isn't a game. You kill people. There is no glamour! I saw my best friend dead, I lost my scholarship because I was so wrapped up in revenge. I am a living breathing human. Not a science project. I am not a vampire."
David snarled, 'you know to much, if that's what you choose we have no other choice."
"Can it! I didn't say I wouldn't. I just need time to adjust!"
Dwayne was behind his leader, while Marko stood near the fountain. He had opened a bottle of amaretto and was taking a sip. I spotted the bottle and snatched it from him and stormed out of the cave. The boys were left behind speechless, David scowling.
So here I am, dirt and leaves in my hair, my throat burning, and my eyes tired from holding tears. Poor little me. I could vomit at my childish behavior, which if I finish this bottle I may. I know I have been out here for a good couple of hours. Frankly I am shocked that David hasn't ripped my throat out yet, or at the least one of them come to my rescue.
"Krystal.." I stand corrected.
"Paul I need to think." He sat down on the rock beside me anyways. He took the bottle from me and drank, wincing at the taste.
"This stuff is pretty weak." He handed it back.
'I'm a small body."
He crawled down to my level and lay beside me following my gaze. "I like you Krystal. Love you."
"Don't turn into a sap on me now Romeo. What's it like to be- you know. Don't you miss the sun?"
"Yeah I do. But the way my life was going before, being immortal had a nice appeal to it. David wants me to turn you or…" he looked away.
"Kill me. Would you?"
"I can't."
I sat up on my arms and stared at him. "Would you force me to be a vampire?" I swung my legs over him and sat up on him.
"No. Never." He was looking at me now.
I pushed my hands under his coat and shirt and ran my hands over his chest. He was cold, not like ice, just not human. I leaned down and pressed my lips against his, he responded. He smiled at me. My hands fell over where he heart was, no thud like I would of expected. He really was dead. "I'm tired. Will you take me home?"
Against David's better judgement I was allowed to go home, maybe even for the last time. David was to personally pick me up tomorrow night. I wasn't looking forward to it.
I had spent the good half portion of my day on the beach sunbathing. I loved the warmth the sun gave, and the feel of the sand against my skin. This was were I wanted to be, where I felt I had belong. At least so I thought because when I thought about it meant no Paul. Not that I had a choice, die or die. How exciting.
Back at my apartment I pulled a shrug around me and stared at my home. I pulled a picture of Kat and I up to my face and kissed it. "Miss you." She had a double life, part schoolgirl, part-well let's not go there. I walked over to the heart shaped mirror and took in my reflection. I had dark circles forming under my eyes. I took a comb and brushed out me hair. It was no good, dirt had nested in. I needed a shower.
As the warmth from the water cascaded down my body, I felt a tremendous burden fall from my body. I sighed. Maybe it would be okay after all. Paul wouldn't let anything bad happen to me right?
Glancing outside I knew that the sun was dangerously close to setting. I had to hurry. If I was going to become a vampire I knew I would need to play the part. All I knew I had was jeans and tee shirts, none of which would do. I knew little of dressing up; Kat had been a genius when it came to clothes and makeup. Her closet would have more. I rummaged through the dresser and cloths racks that lined her bedroom walls.
I stood in front of our full-length mirror, I scarcely recognized myself. I wore a tight corset, the color of deep scarlet. I had managed to fit into her old pair of leather jeans that tied on both sides. Kat had been smaller than me; her cloths were a snug fit compared to my normal baggy jeans and plain shirts. From my own clothes I pulled black-heeled boots and my late grandmothers diamond studs. It would be cold. Did I need a jacket? I only had a tight black jacket that still had the tags on it. I had been planning to return it, it had been a in the moment buy. It cost a fortune. Not that it mattered know. At least if I was a vampire, I wouldn't have to pay my credit card bill.
Theres a thought.
I heard the roar of a motorcycle come into earshot. Damn it was dark now. I didn't even have time to pull up my hair, he was rapping on my door. I unlocked the door my hands were trembling.
"Ready?" He was resting against the wall his arms crossed.
"I haven't packed anything."
"You can get it later. Tonight we are going to the boardwalk. You look nice."
"Thanks," I muttered. I closed the door behind me with a snap. He led me to his bike, which was bigger than Paul's and my guess better in general. I sat behind him and loosely placed me arm around his side.
"I'd hold on tighter if I were you." I was jerked back as his bike roared up and launched forward. I gripped him tighter fearing I'd fall off. I knew he was smiling.
We rode in silence towards the storefront that lined the boardwalk entrance. We pulled up in front of a video store; I already know it's the same one that Kat had worked at. We pulled up next to three other bikes. I hop off quickly and head for the door. Paul's waiting for me patiently, I rushed into his arms and clinging to him.
"Whoa girl." He kissed my forehead and we walked together inside. Marko was flirting with the girl at the counter. He caught my eye and winked. Dwayne was prowling the horror section studying the latest version of Dracula a smirk hidden beneath his long sexy hair.
"Why are me here?" I turned to Paul.
"Ah you must be Krystal, I've heard a lot about you." My attention shifted to the older man in front of me with the wide smile and glasses. I didn't say anything. "Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Max and your standing in my fine video store."
Max? He had been the boss that Kat had prated on about. He seemed well mannered and sweet. "I've told you not to come in here David."
Maybe not.
He and David eyes were locked onto each other, threatening the other. I didn't even have to ask. Max must have been David's maker. She was meeting their boss. David moved out of view behind Max. They were speaking to each other just above a whisper. Something was telling me that David was getting a scolding. I rose onto my tiptoes to get a good look at the expression on David's face.
Dwayne moved in front of me and shook his head patting my head. Marko wrapped his arm around me and pulled me out of the store.
"Where to boys?" Paul jumped over a mess of popcorn on the walkway and landed into Marko.
"Let's go check out the entertainment." Dwayne gestured towards from where the music was coming from.
"What are you old? Let's so through that new ride they set up." Marko had a wicked look on his face. "The Creep Show"
"Yeah alright buddy, that sounds excellent." Paul slugged Marko's arm playfully.
"The Creep Show? Okay but I'm not riding up front."
"Oh come girl what's to be scared of?" Marko teased.
"Yeah we're more frightening than anything in there." Paul offered as Dwayne turned and began to disappear down the walkway along with Marko.
"What about David?"
"He always can find us."
I didn't even want to know how. I felt Paul's fingers lace around mine and I relaxed.
The ride looked like it should have been condemned. The closer in line we got the louder the shrieks and screaming was. Fake blood was smeared over the sign that bore its name. There was fake bodies and skeletons littered all along the walls. I laughed as we approached our cart. Four girls got out with mixed expressions of amusement and horror.
"Guys this is going to be so cheesy." I nudged Marko in the ribs reminding him this was his idea.
"Bring on the gore!" Marko was biting his glove again, anxious. He sat in front with Dwayne, I behind with Paul. The announcer gave a dull speak about death and the ride screeched forwards. Two extremely large doors flung open and we were purged into darkness. I had the feeling I was the only one that couldn't see.
'Theres a skeleton that's going to pop out up ahead." Marko pointed in front of use. Sure enough it did. He then took it upon himself to announce all the terror waiting for us. I grinned and turned to Paul and kissed him. He was got off guard but returned the kisses deepening it.
I guess this annoyed Marko because he failed point out that two bloody hands were going to jump out of me. They lunged at me from behind Paul. I felt myself push away and scream. "MARKO!" He seemed not to hear me over his and Dwayne laughter joined by Paul.
When we exited the ride they might as well been rolling on the floor. "Yeah real funny."
"Come on put yourself in our shoes." Dwayne was smiling.
"I think I'll past."
They were there. My feet were glued to the sidewalk. Those two men from before. "Guys I have to use the restroom, I'll meet you back at the video store."
"Do you want me to come?"
"I think Paul's turning into a girl."
"Shut up man." Snapped Paul brushing Marko off.
I didn't catch the rude remark that Marko came back with because I was rushing over towards the restroom. I ran into the men's and prayed no one would see me as I ducked into a stall.
The man in the stall next to her coughed and then gave the handle a jingle and left. I peered through the crack. I heard their voices and a women's close by. My heart was pounding in my ears. I knocked the toilet seat down and crawled onto of it.
"Wait this is the men's restroom. I can't be in here." The voice belonged to a middle age prostitute.
"That didn't stop you the other night Carrie." The taller one spoke.
I pushed myself further against the wall. The second guy was peeking under the stalls. What a moron, I would have opened the doors. Though I am thankful he didn't.
"Look has you done like we've asked you?"
"I told you no. She doesn't work the streets, I asked at the video store she doesn't work there, she was just the bitches roommate."
"That little bitch is the only one that saw us with that wasted whore."
"Dan." The women were reaching for his face.
"Don't touch me you stupid trash." He grabbed the women's arms and rammed her into my stall door.
I jumped. Fuck. It was already to late I had managed to put pressure on the toilet handle and it flushed. The door was ripped open and the smaller one stood facing me. "Well looks what I've found."
"What is it Zeke?" Dan shoved him out of the way. "Hello, you've been listening the whole time haven't you?" He sprung forward and snatched my hair.
"Not here Dan."
"Your right Zeke."
They dragged me off with them a gun pushed in my back. If they killed me I would deserve it. I had been stupid enough to go follow them alone. I was disappointed to see that Paul hadn't followed me after all.
"Don't make a peep bitch." Zeke warned pressing the gun further into my back.
I was forced into a dirty jeep with them. The prostate sat in front with Zeke. I was with Dan and his gun. I had no idea where I was going until I saw the "Welcome to Santa Carla" sign pass us by. My heart sank.
We were leaving town.
Dan pulled off the road a few miles later and I was yanked out of the car. They dragged me into the woods to a dimly lit trailer. Dan turned towards me and backhanded me hard. I stumbled and spit out blood. Zeke grabbed me hands and tied them to a tree. There was no use in fighting back, there were two of them and they had a gun, possibly more.
"Their little bitch watch the show."
"Fuck you." I spat blood on him, he licked it off.
"Now," Dan turned towards Carrie. "you've been very helpful. Unfortunately you're going to have to die."
I closed my eyes expecting to her the cock of the trigger and release. When I didn't hear it I opened my eyes. I wished I hadn't. Dan was deformed like David had been. His hands were covering her mouth, preventing the terror from releasing itself. He growled and ripped into her neck. Zeke sprung and shoved his hand into her chest. He retched out her heart and torn his own set of fangs into it. I could feel my stomach turn.
They were vampires. But worse yet they were monsters.
Dan savored the last drop and pulled away. The hunger in his eyes now focused on me. My voice was caught in my throat, my heartbeat was erratic. God save me.
I couldn't even scream, there was no time. He was already upon me, his fangs lodged in my throat. He was draining me. I would of sunk to the ground had it not been for my hands being chained so tightly. I was growing weaker, my heartbeat was slowing down and I felt chilled. I thought for sure I was going to die. I was crying, searching the dark tree lines for my Paul. At the last possible second he pulled away. "I want you to experience the change love, feel our pain before I kill you."
It went dark after that.
Yay! I worked on this chapter all today! I will update the next installement tomorrow :)
