Here it is, chapter two.Thank you soo much for reviewing, Im truly grateful. I brought Beth in the story for you, I'm not sure about Josef though. I want to bring him in to my story, but I can't think of a reason to.
I woke up in the morning feeling exhausted for some reason, and not to mention hungry. I lifted the freezer door and glanced at my clock and did a double take, 11:04 a.m.! I'm late for school - wait...false alarm. It's Saturday. I got out of my freezer, got dressed, and went into the kitchen to satisfy my hunger. After I finished I grabbed my coat and sunglasses and headed out the door.
I decided I'd take a cab to Mick's place. I checked the address on the card he handed me yesterday and informed the cabbie. As he drove along I stared out the window at the people on the sidewalk, and I saw a man.I did a double take, second one of the day, my neck was starting to hurt...anyways, I could've sworn he was staring right at me. Timed seemed to slow down as the cab passed him. I couldn't make out any of his physical features, he was wearing a baseball cap,sunglasses,and a coat. The cab ran over a bump in the road and I hit my head on the window hard. Ouch. The momentary slowing of time ended and when I looked back to where that man was standing, he was gone.
Suddenly the cab stopped,"We're here Miss."the cabbie announced. I climbed out of the cab and paid the cabbie as I did. I walked up to the building the cab had dropped me off at and entered quickly. Soon I found myself on the floor of Mick's apartment, knocking on his door. The door soon opened, and standing in front of me was Mick St. John, Private Investigator. He was wearing a dark gray shirt and blue jeans.
"Come in." He said opening the door wide enough for me to slip in. I looked around taking in my surroundings. The furniture was tasteful. He had various decorations around his home. All in all it looked pretty nice. Also, on one of his couches sat a blond-haired woman.
"Hi, I'm Beth,"said the woman who's name, apparently, was Beth. She rose and held out her hand to shake. I took it and Mick said from behind me,"Beth, this is Kate Jackson, my new assistant."
"Nice to meet you."I said politely. I could scent the smallest, barely detectable amount of fear in her. Obviously, she knew what exactly I was. I turned to Mick and raised an eyebrow. Getting the message, he half-smiled and shrugged as if to say,I have my reasons. I nodded and faced both of them. Beth looked a bit confused and stared at them for a second, she just shook her head and began to speak.
"I'm a reporter from Buzz Wire. I'll be helping you guys with your case."she said matter-of-factly.
"OK, sounds good, speaking of this case, what is it? The 'murder' that took place at my apartment building?"I asked curiously, I was anxious to start investigating a case.
Mick nodded,"Yep, the girl's parents hired me to find out who did that to their daughter. They're not very confident that the police will figure it out."
"OK, then we know where to start. Right outside my door!"I said grinning from excitement and added,"Let's go!!"
Mick and Beth seemed to be amused by my eagerness to get started, they were smiling at me trying not to laugh, I rolled my eyes and started out the door, with them following close behind.
Soon we were standing where the body had been yesterday. A little blood still stained the floor. I inhaled as Mick did the same, Beth stood aside watching.
A girl was running up the stairs followed closely by a insane vampire, with white eyes and sharp fangs extended.
She made it right up to my apartment before the vamp jumped her and bit into her neck. He drained her of most of her blood, the rest pooled around her head.
The vision lasted only 5 seconds. The vampire in it looked crazy and out of control, feral. I felt myself vamp out just from thinking about it.
"Did you see that?" I asked looking at Mick, getting control of myself.
He nodded, also recovering from the vision,"He was feral."was all he said.
"Like I didn't figure that out."I replied smartly. Mick glared at me.
Beth spoke up,"What did you see?"
Mick described it to her. Beth thought for a moment,"This doesn't really lead us anywhere."
"Well not yet, we've gotta track that vampire."I said.
I sniffed the air and caught the faintest scent of a vampire with blood on him.I followed the trail which led outside, to the left, and into an alley. The scent was stale so he wasn't here anymore. I couldn't pick up any traces of him from here.
"The trail ends here," I announced.
"Let's just look around then." answered Mick.
The three of us started to search the alley thoroughly. It was pretty narrow occupied only by a fire escape, a couple of dumpsters, and rats. Suddenly I spotted something out of the corner of my eye. A wallet.
"Here, guys, I found something."I said as I reached down and picked up the wallet. I opened it, it was empty."It's empty." I said voicing my observation.
Beth reached out her hand,"Can I see?"
I handed it over to her. She searched through all its little pockets. She managed to find a business card. On it was a name of a company, a phone number, and an address.
"This could help a bit."She said pointing to the address on the card.
"Yep."Mick said, took the card, glanced at it and put it into his coat pocket."Let's go see if we can find this feral vampire before he feasts on anymore innocents."
I snorted with laughter when Mick said this. If this were a TV show, this is where dramatic music would play and then cut to commercial.
Sorry I had to cut it short, I'm up writing a little late.I will now reduce myself to begging pathetically for reviews.PLEASE REVIEW!!! PLEEEEASE!!!!
