It didn't happen straight away. When I woke up I didn't have a sudden urge to drink blood. In fact, the thought still repulses me even now.

I could still taste.

I could still smell.

But after a few days, I felt nothing. I tasted nothing. And I got scared.

I ran to the safety of a bar. I know I was underage. But I was a regular, so they let me straight in. they assumed my friends would meet me later. Obviously they hadn't heard.

With the music blaring, lights flashing and people dancing, I made my way to the bar and ordered my usual. Well the usual usually included five of us.

So with five drinks I headed over to an empty table at the corner of the room.

One after another, I downed them.

I couldn't feel the sting at the back of my throat as they slid down.

I couldn't feel the numbness it usually gave my mouth.

I felt nothing.

Could I still get drunk like this?

Who knows? I don't. Who cares? I don't.

"Yo! Ash! What's up!"

Great, I have been spotted.

"Hey guys. Not a lot."

"Sorry you had to watch like all your friends get killed"

"I know. It sucked." But tasted so good.

They don't know what happened. No one does.

"So are you like, going to be in school on Monday?"

"I don't know."

"Right." He clicked his tongue against the top of his mouth. "So, see ya."

"Yeah. Bye."

A pain ripped through my head.

Flashback

"Fucking get me out of here guys!" I screamed as the woman pinned me down. "Ooowwww!" what I assumed were teeth dug into my neck and she started to suck.

My head swam with so many thoughts

Am I dying?

What the hell is happening?

Is she a vampire?

Why does her, led on top of me, feel so good?

Why did I do this?

"Get off me!" I breathed and the pressure let up.

"Drink this or you will die." A haunting voice came.

"What the fuck!"

"Please." It sang as she placed her wrist into my open mouth.

Her blood ran down my tongue. I wanted to spit it out but I couldn't. I wouldn't.

She pulled it away.

"I'm sorry." She whispered down my neck before she flew off. FLEW!

Something came over me. Some strange power.

I led there for a moment and waited for my head to stop spinning.

I got up and walked over to Jared. He looked scared. I saw a quick reflection of myself in his glasses.

My eyes had turned completely black and I had developed fangs.

I felt hungry. Thirsty. Powerful.

I took his shoulders in my hands and bit down on his neck and sucked for my life.

It wasn't as sweet as hers was. It was bitterer. It was weird. But I bled him dry. Him and all my other friends. All of who were boys.

Is it just girls blood that tastes that amazing? Or was it just hers?

After each of them was on the floor, motionless, I stumble back towards the middle of the clearing and fell. I think I hit my head or something.

END Flashback

I shook my head and tried to forget.

It was my fault.

"Hi." A nervous voice came from beside me.

"Mmm."

"Do you mind if I sit with you?"

"What ever man."

"What are you doing here? Aren't you a little underage?"

"Are you new in town?"

"Yeah, I just moved her yesterday."

"Right. Sorry, I didn't get your name." cos the prick didn't tell me it.

"James and you are…" James. A respectable name.

"Ashley."

"Cute."

"Thanks."

"Do you want to get out of here?"

"Yeah what ever."

I stumbled out of the bar, supported on one side by James. I guess I can get drunk still.

"Car or your place." He asked.

I thought for a second.

"Car. It's easier."

"I guess you are right."

We drove out to a clearing in a forest. I laughed to myself and he sot me a weird look.

"I'm sorry it's just some of my friends died like three weeks ago just over there."

I pointed to the opposite cliff.

"Ahh. Does it matter that we are here?"

"No."

I sat on top of him and started kissing him.

When I got to his neck, I felt the same hunger I felt when Jared looked at me.

I tried to continue what I was doing, what we were both here for.

I couldn't stop myself. It was too strong.

I bit.

He screamed.

I sucked.

He died.
