The Fangs of a Devil

New York May 1896

I could feel his fangs intruding into the side of my neck. The blood dripped down and fell over my white shirt sliding across my sweating back. A gasp escapes from my mouth as he sucks the blood from my body; I shiver and squirm from his grasp. He tears his fangs away and looks straight into my eyes. "Bastard!" I yell reaching for the stele inside my shredded waistcoat. A smile forms on his lips as he wipes the blood and then licks the remaining off his palm. I struggled to grip hold of my stele as the vampire laughs a shrilling cry and then leaps into the air escaping. "Shit" I whisper under my breath 'stupid vampire'.

The healing rune comes to affect right away and the two holes begin vanishing, I pick of my black waistcoat and trudged home with blood surrounding my entire shirt. The street is clear besides the occasional drunks walking back to their families. There was nothing particularly new about New York minus the street lamps which flickered repeatedly on and off. The smell of alcohol fills my lungs and I cough as passing the newly built bar. 'One thing I can't stand, alcohol, or the occasional vampires, and demons' I thought. The normal alleyway that I took was silent and peaceful just the way I like it. A smile protrudes on my face as I think about what I'd do if I caught that vampire. But that isn't something I should be thinking about right now, I need to come up with how to explain my absence, the blood, and bite. The institute is probably worried sick about me, and for me to come home in this state will worry then further. The problem is that I cannot lie to them, and so my only option is telling everything from the start of when I left home. I didn't realize that I was in front of the institute until I heard someone call out my name. I look up to see my best friend and Parabatai Mike. His long black hairs tied behind his back making him look younger. He had silver eyes, very hansom even for me to say. "Where were you?" he asks stepping down the stairs of the institute.

"Out for a walk" I say, a devilish smile planted on my face. He stops in front of me and takes hold of my bloody shirt.

"With this?" he asks but I knew it wasn't a question. I nod my head slowly knowing I should tell him now, or he will get it out of me the hard way. I grab his wrist and yank it off of my shirt before heading up the steps towards the heavy door. "Cain" he yells behind my back. I turn around to find him glaring at me with death eyes.

"Hmm,"

"Watch out" I don't understand what he means by that but I still walk up to the door and open it. It opens with a shriek and falls back to the side wall. Before I can register what is happening I am flying through the air and toppled on the ground being strangled by someone. "Enough Grey" I can hear Mike say grapping hold of Grey and yanking him off of me. Grey flops to the ground and stares at me with intense eyes.

"What I do this time?" I ask covering my throat and coughing. Grey's dark eyes looked hurt as he gathered his shirt from the floor and stood up. He was taller than Mike by a few feet and hovered over me by a lot. It was strange seeing him so tall when he's four years younger than us.

"You broke the promise of tonight" he says with a bit of a whimper. His shoulders hung low and his face was looking towards the ground. 'Crap, I was supposed to train with him tonight' I thought looking at his sorrow face.

"Sorry, we shall do that now" I say grabbing his arm and dragging him back inside. He follows without hesitation, Mike shaking his head with disbelieve but following inside as well.

"Where'd you go?" Grey asks as I lead the way to the weapons room. "You've got blood all over your shirt"

"I was bit" I say keeping my head held high and straight forward.

"Bit?" Mike asks turning me around. He finally saw the two little holes as I heard a gasp escape his mouth. "Cain, you can't possibly-"he doesn't finish his sentence as he stares at me with shock. Grey reaches his hand up to touch them but I swiftly step backwards and threw my hand towards his. They made contact and Grey yelped in pain.

"Sorry," I say "Could we do another night?"

"But Cain-"Mike tries to say but I cut him off.

"Please!" They nod their heads a bit jumpy at how loud my voice boomed, and I head off to the direction of my room. I didn't want to yell at them but I'm not feeling my best. I finally made it to my room and plopped down upon the bed tired and hungry. I fell asleep right away.
