Chapter2:Hunting Trip
As I walk home after school I am side tracked when I hear Su and Summer walking in the alley down the street, talking about revenge. They're all alone I could just go kill them and save everyone the hassle of having to deal with them. Before I can think of anything else to do, or stop myself I do just that. In a matter of seconds I am before them both. Their panicked faces remind me of the hundreds of thousands of faces I've seen over the years before I kill.
"W-What the hell are you doing here, wimpy?" Summer asks, trying to stay tough till the end.
"I thought that since I was in the neighborhood I would drop in and ask if you'd like to feed me." I lift Su up by her neck and cradle her in my arms like a baby. She is so frightened all she can do is shake. Funny thing how such a tough girl can meet such a pathetic end. I move her hair away from her neck and sink my teeth deep into her flesh and let the sweet nectar flow out and into my hungry mouth. I drink until Su no longer has a pulse and is cold. Then, with fangs showing and blood dripping a bit from my mouth I turn to Summer. She of course runs and screams. But with no success of course for she is no match for me. I've been doing this for 400 years and have powers beyond her imagination. I reach for her arm and instantly break it, making her death more agonizing than necessary.
After both Su and Summer are dead I realize that this isn't the middle of nowhere, I can't just leave the bodies uncovered. Someone will notice the fang marks on their necks, the blood drained from the bodies which will lead to investigation.. I rack my brain for a solution to this problem. I remember an abandoned apartment building a block away and decide that that is my best bet.
I dash to the Sonic nearby and pick up gasoline and matches before anyone even realizes I'm in the store. I quickly stash Su and Summer into the apartment building and set them ablaze. I stay inside for a little while, watching them burn. In despair, I head to my home. How could I do that? They were two otherwise innocent teenagers and did not deserve to die like that, so young. All because of me again. Selfishly hating my own existence and curse my life and all the other damned like me, and yet I killed them to continue in the same depressing downward spiral.
I recall watching a program on television one time where the people told of finding new ways to increase the average human life span expectancy. The man on the program joked that soon they would find a way to make living forever possible.
How like a human to dread the unknown. I know that as a human I fantasized of never dying, never changing. Everlasting life is only good as long as you have company-otherwise you end up like me, 400 years old and never finding true love. Not that I could ever expect to find love. Who would love a monster like me?
Now here comes the pain again, the grief that must follow as a result of my selfish killing. Turning the key of my small home I breath a sigh of relief that I won't have to worry about killing again for at least one week.
I look in my wardrobe for the perfect outfit to dazzle Drake with on our date. Remembering the date, I almost forget the killings.
