VAMPIRE VS WEREWOLF

(HOT MESS BY COBRA STARSHIP)

THE HOT MESS IS LAINEY

I figured the best way to forget about Jake was to get some fresh air, go see a movie, and to hang out with Annabell.

"Mori? I'm going out. You need me to get anything?"

"Can you pick up some food for me? I don't really feel like cooking."

"Sure. What kind? Italian? Mexican?"

"Chinese."

"Chinese?"

"Yeah from that restaurant. The one called China Express, on Green St."

"Okay."

Little did I know that the China Express turned out to be the place Jake took me to last night.

"Joy." I though opening the door.

The Asian man I saw yesterday started to talking to me in rapid Chinese.

"Uh-huh. Yeah me no speak Chinese."

"Oh. Sorry. What would you like?" He said in a very heavy accent.

"I'll have some honey and sesame chicken with rice."

"Soy sauce?"

"Yes please."

"That'll be $7."

I gave him the money and he handed me a fortune cookie.

"We will have your food in a few minutes."

I nodded and sat down at a near by table. Then a minute later Jake appeared carrying a bag of take out boxes.

"Um. Rice, honey, and sesame chicken. With soy sauce?"

"Crap." I thought. "So much about forgetting about him."

I took a deep breath and said "Hi."

"Lainey?"

"Yeah?" I asked taking the bag.

"Um....How are you doing?"

"Uh fine, thanks." I said turning around and walking toward the door.

"Wait!"

I turned.

"Do you want to go lubing later?"

"What?" I asked.

"Liubing."

"what's that?"

"If you meet me here at 7 you'll find out." He said going back into the kitchen.

"Jake, Jake, Jake." I said rolling my eyes and walking out the door.

"So is he cute?"

"I guess."

"Have you kissed him yet?"

"Of course not!"

"Chill! I just asking. So I get to met him on Monday, right?"

"Yes Annabell."

Annabell was my best, human, friend since I moved to the big apple. She lived in the duplex next to us. Right now she was tiring to help me find a nice outfit to ware for liubing with Jake

"Perfect."

"You sure?"

I was warring jeans, a purple and white striped sweater with black converses.

"Positive, but I thought you didn't like him."

"I don't. Well not like that. You know Aaron's the only one for me."

"Then why do you want to look nice?"

"I always look like crap and if I'm going to become 18 I should start dressing nicer. I mean when I do an interview for a job I don't wanna look like a hobo.""

"Sure. You just don't want to admit you like him."

"Whatever."

"Hi," Jake said coming out of China Express.

"Took you long enough."

"Sorry. Boss needed help moving some boxes."

"So what's liubing?"

"You'll see when we get there."

"Skating? Liubing means skating?"

"Yeah."

"This is a bad idea."

"Why?"

"I...um..you see I...I can't skate." I said looking down at my roller skates.

"Don't worry. I'll teach you."

"Fine, but don't laughif I fall on my butt."

"Okay."

I took a deep breathe and put one skate on the floor.

"Here I go," I said letting go of the wall.

"Whoa! Waaaa!"I yelled falling flat on my face. Jake laughed as he helped me up.

"You said you wouldn't laugh!"

"No. I said I wouldn't laugh if you fell on your but, not your face."

I glared at him as he held my hand.

"You have to spread you feet like this. Then you can just try walking as if you were warring normal shoes."

"Uh okay."

I tried and I lost my balance. I almost fell onto the floor, but Jake caught me.

"Try again." He said standing behind me.

Then he put his hands on my waist and his head next to mine. After falling a few more times I finally got the hang of it.

"This wasn't so hard."

"Yeah, and maybe you'll be able to do this," said Jake before he did two back flips.

"Show off."

"Your just jealous."

Before I could retort so guy bumped into me and I fell onto Jake for, what, the third time this weekend?

"You have to stop falling on me. If you want to kiss me you can just say so. No need to tackle me."

"Jerk," I said getting up and skating away.

Jake caught up to me and faced me, while skating backwards.

"Playing hard to get I see."

I stopped skating and pushed Jake against the wall. I leaned in like I was about to kiss him, but then I skated away laughing hysterically.

"And you call me the tease!" He said skating towards me.

I smiled and said "I learned from the best."

"That was fun," I said when we were walking out of the skating arena.

"We should do stuff like that more often."

"Yeah. Give me your arm."

He put it behind his back.

"I'm not going to hurt you."

"I don't no," he joked extending his arm.

I rolled my eyes and wrote my number on his arm.

"Just call me sometime."

"Okay."

"Well....I got to go. Later!" I said walking off toward the subway station.

As soon as Lainey left my cell phone rang.

"Hello? Yes she is. Yeah. Broad. No! But....She's...Skating arena. All right. Do I have to? This is wrong! I don't give a flying fadoogle! Bye."

"I'm sorry Lainey," I whispered running after her.

I was walking down Broad Street when I heard a growl. I turned around, but didn't see anything.

"Hello? Anyone there?"

"Must be my imagination," I thought continuing to walk forward. Then I had the strange feeling I was being followed. I listened quietly and heard footsteps. I quickened my pace and so did the footsteps.

"Who's there?!"

No answer, but this time I saw some black fur out of the corner of my eye. I started running and turned left.

"Crap."

I had ran right into a dead end. Then I heard thump. I turned around and gasped. In front of me was a black werewolf. I screamed and started to back away hoping it would leave, but instead it started to move closer to me.

"Stand back! I have a black belt in origami!"

The wolf sneered and walk on its hind legs toward me. Suddenly I had a back flash to when a wolf had touched my necklace and started syaing something about voices. I was desperate so I held the necklace in my hand and started to yell at it.

"Please help me! Do something you stupid necklace!"

I know I must of looked ridiculous, but I thought if that necklace could hurt other people when they touched it, maybe it could hurt people who touched me. Suddenly I had an idea. I took the necklace off my neck and threw it at the werewolf. The necklace glowed red when it touched the wolf, but nothing else happened.

"Not good, not good at all!" I thought.

Then I made my eyes turn red, my skin turn pale, and my regular teeth turn into fangs. I charged at the werewolf and round house kicked him in the head (it was a good thing Mori mad me take martial arts classes). The werewolf glared at me and tried to slash my skin, but I jumped back. I stuck my tongue out at him, which I shouldn't have. That just made him angry and he scratched my arm. Blood leaked throw my sweater and left a big stain. It stung really bad, but I didn't have time to care because the wolf was still tiring to hurt me. I punched him in the chest a few times, but it didn't seem to hurt him. Then I ran behind him and jumped onto his back, sinking my fangs into his neck. He howled and shook me off, making me fall on my butt-hard. It hurt, but I stood up and wiped the blood off my mouth. I jumped and tried to hit him in the face, but he grabbed my arm and twisted it around.

"Let go!" I yelled.

He just tightened his grip, slammed me up against the wall, and bit my shoulder. I screamed in pain.

"How does it feel vampire to have a taste of your own medicine?" It growled spitting blood in my face.

He let go and I dropped to the floor. I couldn't even get up, the pain was too much. I just watched in misery as he picked up my necklace.

"Give it back!"

"Maybe if you ask me nicely I'll give it to you."

"May I please have my necklace back?"

"No."

"But-"

"Ussh!' He yelled slashing my face.

"Don't touch her!" Yelled a familiar voice.

I looked behind the werewolf and could make out a faint figure.

"Jake?"

The blood dripping from my face was blocking my vision, but I could of sworn I saw Jake grow brown fur and claws.

"Werewolf." I said before I passed out.

Forgive me for my grammar issues and choppy writing. I'm only a 7th grader who sucks at grammar. Yes I might have gotten a A+ in grammar I think my teacher mad a mistake. Not that I'm complaining. I really like those kind of mistakes. =) Sorry for ranting. Please comment/review! Oh and if you want to be my beta reader you are welcome to!
