She Wouldn't Say Goodbye

And now I don't know why
She wouldn't say goodbye
But then it seems that I
Had seen it in her eyes

And it might not be wise
I'd still have to try
With all the love
I have inside
I can't deny

I just can't let it die
Cause her heart's just like mine
And she holds her pain inside

Chapter Two - Unlucky Night

There are three things, that I hate about a man.

The man that sat beside me, possessed these three things. First he was leaning in to me and held a beer bottle, downing it in one gulp. I could hear the rush of liquid going down his throat in deep gulps. Second he was talking to me and his breath smelt, so foul, that I cringed ever time he opened his mouth. Third of all, the smell of his hands that smelt of oil and gas. He touched my back, arm and leg. He wanted me but I showed my interest in him. He was just a drunk desperate to get laid.

I stood and ignored the man's protests. I walked right out of the bar, ignoring cat calls and anyone that offered me a seat with them. The bar only had lonely, desperate drunks tonight.

I didn't usually go in to bars in Santa Carla. I was always on the boardwalk. I would listen and smell anything that went wrong in Santa Carla. The only time I went to bars is to use myself as bait.

I loved the taste of human blood, when the said human is intoxicated. I turned down the street and slowed my walk at a steady pace. A drunk could out walk me in the way, I was walking.

Three years had gone by after I killed the high school teacher Adrian and Chantal, the vampire that attempted to 'live with me' in Santa Carla.

I expected other vampires that would come. I wasn't surprised when Chantal had been right. A small group had come after her death. Chantal had been the lover of the head vampire in that group. I killed his wonderful lay and he wanted me to replace her. Chantal told me they would kill me but here was her former lover wanting me to replace her. I rejected him and he attempted to kill me. That's the thing about male vampires. They can't take rejection well, like some human men could. They had been wiped out though. They were all young vampires, too young. I was old and powerful.

I have my own saying, the older you are, the powerful you are, the younger you are, the weaker you are.

My own personal saying, and my own saying was right. Young vampires are weak and old vampires are powerful.

It was a saying that was more than right. Once we are bitten, the longer your a vampire the more you'll learn to fight and kill. Over the years and centuries you become wiser, faster, and stronger. I am a example of this. Along with others that walk the earth, forever timeless to the world.

A smirk creep over my lips, as I smelt the over bearing smell of alcohol. Both my arms were grabbed and held behind my back. I was pushed in to an ally with two men behind me. One of them, buried his face in my hair and took a deep inhale. He then turned me around, and slammed my back against a brick wall of a old run down building.

"Think you're too good for anyone, don't you?"

I recognized the man from the bar, that disgusted me with his poor attempts at 'picking me up'. I didn't answer him, I just stayed silent. Some rapist loved it when you screamed and struggled. Others liked it when you were silent and motionless, like a doll.

"Say something already. You, overconfident bitch!" The other beside him said to me.

"Tonight is a very unlucky night for both of you." I said, matter of fact. They both were in grave danger. I was someone they really didn't want alone with in the dark. If they knew what I was then they would running back to that bar, about right now.

The one that insulted me, scoffed. "Unlucky? Your wrong about that bitch. Tonight were gonna be more than lucky. Were both gonna have so much fun with you. That you won't be able to walk for weeks." The man said with a twisted smile. I then knew that it wasn't the first time these men had gang up together. That's why they smelt so disgusting. They had the smell of blood, urine, semen, and mixed scents of perfume on them. They had raped other woman, they were most likely wanted rapists or killers on the run.

They both made a big mistake on choosing me for prey tonight.

"That's a big promise to keep." I said and smirked. I let them believe I wanted this.

"I'm going first." The guy that was bigger than the other and more hairy. His hands went to his jeans and undid his belt and zipper. He looked at me with the same twisted smile. He leaned forward and reached for me. Before he could even touch me or so much as lay a finger on me. My hand caught his thick wrist and twisted it. It broke like a twig and the guy quickly started screaming. His wrist turned in a sicking way that it wasn't suppose to be turned.

The other guy didn't have time to react. I was in front of him before it could even register in his mind to run. I dug my fingers and nails in to his neck and simply pushed him. If I was a normal human woman, my little 'push' would not make him budge.

But I wasn't human and that one little 'push' was enough to send him flying. His body hit the other wall in the ally and it was enough to knock him out.

The other was alone with me and still awake. Oh, how he wished he was the other guy about right now. So he won't have to endure what I was going make him endure.

I smiled at him. A smile that probably looked sadistic to him. He cried for help and turned to run. I grabbed him by his jacket and swung him to the same brick wall that he himself, had slammed me against not to long ago. He whimpered in pain. I grabbed him by his throat.

"What the fuck are you!" He cried and struggled against me. His hand grabbed my arm and he attempted to yank himself away from me. My grip on him would no be easily moved. His broken wrist stayed on his chest. He cradled it and it would not be able to aid in any way in attempts to escape. His means to escape were fruitless.

I smirked. My eyes fading to black and my fangs sprouted.

"I told you. Tonight would be an unlucky night for you."

I then turned his head to the side and bit him. His blood didn't taste anywhere near as bad as his skin. His scent was even more foul up closer. I regretted drinking from him, immediately. He was disgusting. I could feel a cloud of haze come in to my vision. The alcohol did little to me but I still felt the haze of buzz going on. I could taste the alcohol in his system. Beer and rum, not a combination that I enjoyed but better than nothing. His body fell over once I let him go and I licked the blood on my lips.

I turned and walked over to the guys 'friend' and lifted him up. I bit and drained him. He tasted better than his friend. He didn't have much alcohol in his system. But none the less, he still tasted great. Once I was done with him. I took some lighter fluid from my jacket pocket and lighter. I poured it over both the bodies and lit them both on fire. Someone unlucky will eventually come across there bodies and it would be reported on the news soon. I walked out of the ally and hummed. I kicked off the ground and flew up in to the darkness of the sky. I was done for the night and with my dissatified meal for the next two days.

As soon as I was inside my home, I made way for my room.

I almost didn't hear her voice as I walked by her room.

A soft voice calling me.

"Angela."

I turned and stood at her door. I opened it and walked in. I closed the door behind me.

She sat in a wheel chair by the window. Her hair was grey and white. Her eyes were like the sky in a summer evening, the brightest blue. She had a faded beauty about herself now. A beauty that I remembered very well over the years. She was a very beautiful woman in her time. A time when I was very young and naive. She had a blanket on her lap and an open book. She was facing me, waiting for me.

"How was your night?" She asked.

"Boring, I killed two killers. They wanted something to enjoy before they ended the night." I said with a smirk.

"The bodies?" She asked, her frown deepening.

"Burned." I replied, casually.

"Good." She closed her book and put it on her night stand. "It's almost morning, I'll let you sleep." She said.

"I'll see you tonight." I said and headed for the door.

I stopped in front of the door with my hand on the knob. I glance back at her. She was taking the blanket off her lap. I turned away and walked out of her room.

I took my jacket off while heading to my room.

The night was uneventful but there were many nights in my life that had been worth living.

Like the night I had met, David.

Please Read: I can't believe how long it took me to update this. I have a zillion things to say about what kept me from updating. But I'm not going to give you all the reasons why I haven't been around. Because either way I should have updated this already and had it posted. But it took me this long and I can't help but feel disappointed in myself. I am SORRY for making you wait and this chapter doesn't satisfy you then... there is more to come.. I will NOT Give up this story!
