Chapter 6: Vampires by Noon
The night went and the day came that the two had waited for since their deathly transformation. Rose and Jake eagerly got up and ran into Lao Shi's room to get the cure and finally return to normal. They woke up Lao Shi with big smiles on their faces but that didn't last long when Lao Shi spoke after a few seconds to realize why the two were here. "I know you two want the cure but it isn't ready yet. You two will have to wait till this afternoon." Jake and Rose gave depressed looks and then walked out of the room so that Lao Shi could finish the cure.
When the two walked into the kitchen, there were no steaks or any other kind of meat and they were getting hungry. The two ignored their hunger and sat their in the kitchen with nothing to do. After a few minutes of sitting at the table staring at each other, they decided to go out for a walk around the city. They grabbed their coats, wrote a letter explaining where they went and that they will be back that afternoon, and then headed out the door. They never paid any real attention to what it was like outside so when they opened the lobby door and walked outside; they started getting rained on so they took off their jackets. "Rose, since when does it rain during the summer?" Jake asked and Rose just shrugged but they were happy that they didn't really need to hide themselves anymore.
After walking around for a while they had heard one voice they didn't want to hear. "Jake, what are you doing here loser?" Then brad got up closer to them which made Jake irritable but it didn't bug him to much. Knowing that Brad and Rose don't really know each other, it doesn't bug him. "Hey, who is your friend?" Then Rose made the mistake of telling him her name. "Rose, how would you like to come hang out with me than this loser." Now Jake was getting really angry; even now when they don't even really know each other and Brad still has the nerve to ask her out. Rose was about to answer his question when Brad said something that brought back some not so good memories. "You mind if I call you Rosalicous; of course you don't."
Rose then got an angry look on her face. "Don't you ever call me that Brad!" Rose yelled. Then Brad grabbed her arm and started pulling her away toward the park and Jakes angry meter went off the charts and Jake being hungry wasn't helping any. Jakes eyes then went read and his vampire instincts took over and he ran at brad and grabbed him by the neck and bit down hard causing Brad to let go of Rose. Rose saw this and looked at Jake angrily. After Jakes eyes went back to normal and he realized that he had just bit his first victim, he backed up scared of what he had just done. Rose and Jake ran out of their leaving Brad to lay there on the ground. "Jake, I can't believe you just bit Brad like that. I know you hate him but was that necessary?" Rose asked very peeved at what he just did.
"Sorry, but he made me mad not to mention I was hungry. All I remember is that my eyes turned red and the next thing I knew, I was holding Brad and he had two bit marks. I'm sorry Rose." Jake explained trying to defend himself.
"Well, I guess I may as well have something to eat too meaning how everyone is eventually going to get bit anyway." She said thinking how much fun Brad is going to have. Rose then saw someone and chased after them but before she could reach the person, Brad beat her to it. "You have got to be kidding me, I actually want to bit someone and give in to the want and Brad beats me to it. It didn't take to long for him to change like it did us. All well, I will just have to find someone else then." Rose turned around and saw someone and raced toward the person and finally got her meal. Rose then let a smile creep up on her face. Both of them were finally full and ready to do something. The two of them were racing each other to the park that they had been to earlier.
Neither of them were winning until Jake tripped on something. Jake had expected to hit the ground but he never did. When he opened his eyes, he could hardly see, then he fell the rest of the way and he closed his eyes again. When he opened them this time, his vision was returned to normal. "What the heck just happened?" Jake said shocked and confused.
"Jake, when you tripped, you transformed into a bat and then back into yourself." They both looked at each other and then laughed and continued on their way to the park. They started practicing their abilities that they didn't know they had. They spent hours playing around with their powers and enjoying each others company but now the sun was starting to peak threw and they ran for the closest shade they could find to stay out of the sun. "Could this weather get any more weird?" Rose asked with a slight giggle.
"I wouldn't be surprised if it started to snow." Just when Jake said that it started getting colder and darker. Then it actually started to snow. "Ok, this is just plain creepy." Then the two started picking up snow and throwing snowballs at each other. The two couldn't figure out why the heck the weather was like this but they didn't really care at the moment. They had spent hours playing in the snow when Rose noticed what time it was.
"Come on Jake, it's noon, lets go." They started racing off but by now there were to many people in the way so they ran behind a building and started going up the side of it. Once they got to the top they started looking around and saw that the people that they thought they saw, weren't actually people. They made a city of vampires. People everywhere were climbing the sides of buildings, biting people, and even turning into bats. Then Lao Shi came up behind them with the cure and also looked around the city. In the distance was a horde of them coming this way. There are so many that they couldn't see the ground at all.
"Ok gramps let's get this over with." Lao Shi couldn't even speak he was so upset at the two. "Great, now he wont even talk to us." Jake and Rose sat on the top of the building waiting for Lao Shi to give them the cure.
