The Little Vampire Girl ~ Chapter 4 "Halloween"
Jayde quickly finished her fourth blood bag before covering her lips with deep red lipstick and sticking on some fake, cheap vampire fangs. She didn't need to have fake fangs when she had real ones, but she also didn't want to take the risk of exposure. She glance herself over one more time in the mirror and praised her fine work.
She wore a long, tattered, black and red, Victorian-styled dress. She painted over her already pale skin with white make-up and used a lot of black eye make-up. She had a black lace chocker on her neck that had a blood red rose attached to it. She curled and messed around with her elbow length black hair, adding red streaks and rose petals into her hair. She wanted to go barefoot, but Debbie made forced her to wear a pair of black high heels. She was practically the spitting image of the vampire queen, Lucinda Bloodrayne. All she was missing was Lucinda's glowing crimson red eyes. Emma was dressed as a beautiful blood elf and Rose was dressed as a dark fairy.
The three stalked out into the night and headed for Tanner's house. They were a block down when the music's base reached Jayde's ears. They reached the front steps and, as if his name was called, Tanner opened the door to greet them with an evil grin. Tanner had been so anxious to see Jayde in her costume. He was absolutely surprised when he saw how beautiful Jayde looked. Jayde began to laugh as she saw that Tanner was dressed as the vampire lord, Lucifer Dragomir. Tanner's eyes sparkled as he saw Jayde dressed as Lucifer's lover, Lucinda Bloodrayne.
"Ah, my fair queen, you have come to join me this bountiful night." Tanner said, giving a bow.
Jayde just about busted out laughing and Tanner joined her as they walked into the house. Everyone was dressed as millions of different myths. They all appraised Jayde and Tanner's perfect match, but mainly Jayde's awesome costume. Tanner's mom bounced from group to group offering bloody good looking cupcakes and brownies. The door bell rang again and in came a very familiar look warlock.
"Loving the costume transfer" Jayde grinned. Clyde made almost an exact replica of Jayde's famous grin and joined the two matching pair. Tanner thought of a really bad joke that he apparently had to get out there. He latched an arm around Jayde's waist and closed the space between them.
"Don't you just envy how fair my queen looks on this full moon night?" Tanner asked in his vampire accent. "Just watch out, she's a snappy one, she just might feast on your head." Clyde laughed. Jayde rolled her eyes and used her vampiric strength to squeeze Tanner's hand and remove it from her waist.
"My good lord, I think you better keep to yourself before your wells run dry." Jayde joked. Tanner winced and pulled his hand away as the three began to laugh. Jayde eventually joined Tanner on the dance floor, or the living room floor, and Clyde got to dance with his beloved wolf-tress Tessa. Jayde and Tanner didn't know the first think about dancing so they just danced like they normally did, like maniacs.
It started getting late and Jayde began to get tired. She went to find Rose and Emma and started heading home. It was a full moon lit night and it had gotten much colder. Rose and Emma stayed ahead of Jayde and chit-chatted about the party. Jayde shivered from the cold air and looked over to the woods across the street. There wasn't much to see, but as they got closer to Debbie's house Jayde noticed a shadow at the border of the woods. She thought it was a shadow from a tree or something, but as she got closer she could see it looked more like the silhouette of a figure. It was just standing there, starring at Debbie's house. Jayde stiffened and went on guard, not splitting her attention from the figure or Rose and Emma. Once they got inside Jayde quickly shut off all of the lights and hid behind the window shade.
"Jayde, what are you doing?" Rose growled. "Be quiet, there's someone out there on the other side of the road watching us." Jayde whispered.
Jayde took a quick glance at where she had seen the figure, but it was gone. She scanned the woods up and down the street, but the figure was nowhere to be seen. The lights went on and Jayde whipped her head around and saw Debbie by the stair lights.
"Girls, what in the world is going on?" Debbie asked. "Jayde said that she saw someone watching us from across the street." Emma answered. "Is this true?" Debbie squinted. "It's true, it was there, but now it's gone." Jayde said. Emma sensed the beginning of a fight and she and Rose fled to their bedrooms, leaving Debbie and Jayde alone.
"Jayde, it's late, your eyes could have been playing tricks on you." Debbie said. "But it's a full moon, my eyes couldn't have been playing with me." Jayde exclaimed. "That's beside the point" Debbie said. "A vampire's eyes don't do tricks." Jayde shouted. "Every vampire has their faults." Debbie yelled. "I guess they do, I mean look at how my parents ended up." Jayde quivered.
Jayde took a blood bag from the fridge, despite the fact that it was cold and headed down stairs to her room, slamming the door behind her. Jayde could hear Debbie's sobs and whimpers, but she was too angry to care. Even Debbie was sensitive towards the subject of Jayde's parents; she was their Aunt after all. She finished her blood bag as grief replaced her anger and she began to cry. She laid down on her bed as she cried herself to sleep.
