A/N: Chapter two. I know what you're thinking. Mary-Sue. There are parts of the story where it's intentional. Through writing this, I went from loving Jess to hating her in a matter of paragraphs. It's pretty obvious...
"Sissy! Watch me Sissy!" Audra cried out to Jess as the older girl sat enjoying the heat of the sun.
"I'm watching Audra!" Catherine and Kelly were farther out than Jess would let Audra go. Audra splashed around at the shoreline giggling the entire time. Her little one-piece bathing suit made her impossible to miss and couples walking on the beach would smile as they passed.
"Come join me Sissy! The water's nice." Jess jumped to her feet, grabbed a squealing Audra and ran into the water. Audra giggled as Jess began splashing around with her. Jess ignored the exhausted feeling she had to play with her baby sister.
The two played for a good hour and a half before they packed up and went home, completely leaving Catherine and Kelly behind to their own devices. Jess carried her baby sister up the stairs to Jess's bathroom. Once there, Jess ran the warm water so Audra could enjoy a bubble bath. Audra got excited and pulled her swimsuit off in a hurry.
"Calm down Audra, the tub needs a few minutes to fill up." Jess laughed, taking her own swimsuit off. She gathered up both suits and tossed them into the sink. Jess turned on her small radio at the perfect time 'Say hello to the night, lost in the shadows. No one knows~'
"Is it ready yet?" Audra stuck her hand in the tub. Jess picked her up and sat down in the tub. Audra giggled and grabbed the shampoo before dunking her head. "Here Sissy!"
"Why thank you." Jess laughed as she washed the beach and the sun block off her baby sister. She laughed as Audra played with the bottles.
A couple of minutes into the bath, Audra had the shampoo in one hand and the conditioner in the other, pressing them against one another. If Jess wasn't paying attention to her, she would have missed the fact that Audra was pretending that the shampoo was Jess and the conditioner was David.
"Audra, what on Earth are you doing? Give me those." Jess was blushing as she took the bottles and grabbed a towel. "Alright. Bath's over. Nap time."
"Aw, Sissy, I'm not tired." yet again, Audra yawned to prove herself wrong. Jess stood and wrapped a towel around herself. Audra sat there in the bathtub for a couple minutes with her arms crossed in annoyance as Jess picked up Audra's towel and held it out for her. Audra shook her head and Jess pulled the drain on the tub.
"Nap time. Now Audra." Jessica demanded of her youngest sister. Audra stood so Jess could wrap a towel around her.
"Sissy, why did you sleep all day yesterday?" Audra asked as she helped her into comfortable clothes.
"I was feeling sick, that's all." Jess carried her baby sister to her bedroom and dropped the little girl onto the bed. "Have a nice nap Audra. I'll wake you up before you know it. Now lie down and go to sleep."
"Ok Sissy." Audra cuddled down into the bed. "I love you."
"Love you too Audra." Jess closed the door with a smile and walked down to the kitchen. Knowing Kelly and Cathy, they'd be at the beach all day long - until sundown. She walked downstairs with a frown on her face.
Jess sped her car to Hudson's Bluff looking for David and the others. They weren't there, so she decided to check the pier. Low and behold, all four of them were there, under the dock with a group of girls. She stormed up to them, punched David and grabbed his collar.
"Whoa, easy girl." Paul and Dwayne pulled her away as she continued to thrash around. She kicked Paul in the stomach.
"What did you do to me? What did you do?" the girls had run away and David looked pissed, but he did something Jess wasn't expecting - he smirked.
"What's got you so upset, Jesse?" Dwayne let her go when she started crying.
"Tell me what's wrong with me. Why me?" she clutched Marko and started sobbing. The young men looked at one another in shock.
"Jessica. What's got you so upset?" David put a hand on her back. She wrapped her arms around Marko and sniffed.
"Audra was taking a nap…. I went into her room and…" Jess shivered in disgust. "I almost ate her."
"Did you drink her blood?" Jess shook her head at the question and pulled Marko in tighter.
"I wanted to. I've never felt this way before." her fear quickly turned back into anger as she pulled away from Marko. "You guys had something to do with it! It was that night wasn't it? That night in that destroyed hotel… That wasn't wine, was it?"
"Yeah, that was it. We never should have done it, but there's no turning back now. Do you want to know what you are Jessica?" when she nodded, David smirked. "Then come with us."
They five youths walked back to their bikes, and Jess chose to leave her car. At the bikes, David extended his hand for Jess to join him, but she chose to ride with Marko, annoying David. She smiled as the bikes roared to life. Once again, everything was a blur as they sped along the beach. Jess wrapped her legs around Marko and extended her arms on both sides. Yet again, being with these guys wasn't a good idea, but they knew what was going on with her.
"We're here." David was smirking and Jess could hear loud music just over the hill by them. The boys dragged her up the hill and climbed a tree. There was a party going on. A bunch of drunks bouncing around like puppies to music that she could feel. "You want to know what you are, Jessica? Then pay close attention. You're not going to want to miss this."
The light around them changed when the punks stopped dancing and the fire illuminated the tree in which they were stationed. Jess looked all around her - horrified at the way everyone's face had changed. Monsters. Fangs. Claws. She would have shrieked when the boys leapt from the trees and attacked the partiers had it not been for the fact that a certain aroma filled the air around them. The scent was intoxicating as people screamed. Jessica climbed out of the tree and walked toward the group in an almost trance-like state.
"Look who decided to join the party." the four boys laughed as Dwayne grabbed a struggling young man. "Now you know what we are, and now you know what you are."
"Vampires? But I always thought vampires didn't exist…" her throat was dry as she spoke, and she could hear a heart beating fast and blood rushing through veins. Just like what she avoided with Audra earlier… this was someone she didn't know, someone that didn't matter. "So, all I have to do is kill this person and drink their blood?"
"That's it. And before you ask, it does get easier with time. Trust us." Jess smiled at Paul and felt something sharp brush up against her bottom lip. She felt a set of fangs with her tongue and wasn't surprised.
Taking a deep breath, she walked over to the guy Dwayne was holding. She could still feel the fangs against her tongue. The guy looked up at her with fear in his eyes, and Jess wasn't scared. Especially when the others started chanting her name. With another deep breath, Jessica sank her fangs into the man's neck. He screamed, but as the blood rushed into Jessica's mouth and down her throat, his screams died. It was an amazing sensation. Like the first time she tried alcohol, or smoked weed. She started sucking on his neck in order to get more blood. When he went limp in her arms, Jess let him fall to the sand beneath her feet.
"You'll never grow old, you'll never die, but you must feed." David whispered in her ear as she panted in satisfaction.
"How do you feel, Jesse?" Marko asked as the five walked back to the bikes.
"I don't know… I mean, I've never felt better, but I still feel bad about what I just did. You guys said it gets easier, so I'll take your word for it…" She got on the back of Marko's bike and the group went back to their hideout.
"So I can't go out in the sunlight anymore, I have to be invited into someone's house. That doesn't include my own home, right?" Dwayne shook his head as they helped her to their roost. Jess yawned and looked up. "How am I supposed to get up there?"
"Simple. Jump." The others did it, leaving Jess down there.
"I can't jump that high. You guys are crazy." she put her hands on her hips and looked up at the four young men.
"Just try. You're a vampire now, you can do it." David smirked. Jess jumped up and was able to reach the rafters. "See now, that wasn't so hard." Jess glared, but smiled.
Chapter two. Yay! If you've read this far I love you. Will you please comment? Even flames are welcome because I call it constructive critisism.
