Day and Night Two
"What?" Light started, his eyes widening. "You went and bought that game anyway, then got bitten?"
I nodded a little and hung my head in mock shame. "I went through that alley and some blonde vampire got me."
"'Blonde vampire'?" Beyond asked. "Did they... have a rosary and a long scar across their face?"
Recalling what the vampire had looked like, I nodded slowly, "Yeah.. He did. Wore a lot of black too."
"Hmm..." beyond didn't say anymore, his eyes were fixed on the floor.
It was after school, and Light, Ryuzaki, and Beyond and I were hanging out at my house. I had kept the two wounds on my neck pretty well covered during school, but when we all got to my house, Light noticed and accused- 'You got bitten, let me guess, you went and got that game and went home in that alley. I'm right, aren't I?'
And of course, he was.
The only reason I had kept the wounds covered was because I didn't want them to see. Actually, at our school, if your seen with vampire wounds that pretty much makes you well known for surviving a vampire attack. So that means tomorrow I should be known by something other than 'Game-Freak'.
"So," Ryuzaki started. "They weren't born a vampire? Then your going to be fine, Matt."
"Yeah I know. But they could've been lying," I pointed out.
"He doesn't li.e," Beyond suddenly spoke.
"You mean the blonde vampire?" I asked, already figuring that was who he meant.
The young boy nodded and continued, "He doesn't lie. I know him."
I stared at him- completely dumbfounded. "What? You do? How?" Multiple questions began spilling out of mouth, each one needed an answer.
Beyond answered each of them carefully, "Yes, I do know him. As for how..." His voice trailed off.
"If you don't want to answer you don't have to," Ryuzaki said to his younger brother.
"I'd rather not..."
This still didn't satisfy me, I needed to know. "Do you at least know his name?"
Beyond nodded at this. "Sort of. His nickname is Mello, but that's all I know."
"Mello..." I echoed. "Actually, right after he left there was a wind and I heard a voice say, 'Mello'."
Beyond only shrugged, "Most vampires do that. Bite someone then disappear to avoid confusion- even though it just causes more. But that's just what I think."
"Can you do that?"
The black haired teen rolled his eyes then in the blink of an eye he was gone from his seat on my sofa. All three of us looked around, as if trying to find wherever he went.
"Mmm," I heard somebody say and when I looked behind me, I saw Beyond stepping out of my kitchen with a jar of strawberry jam in his hands. "This is goood... what kind is this?"
"Um... Strawberry jam."
"Where do you buy this?"
"Uhhh... The food store."
"Mmm, its good."
"...Thanks?"
"Well, now we know where he disappeared to," Light muttered.
I glanced at the clock and asked Light, "What time were you supposed to leave?"
Light looked at the clock to and sighed. "Right about now." He stood up and motioned for Beyond and Ryuzaki to follow him out. "C'mon you two, I gotta drive you home."
Beyond looked at me with desperate red eyes, "Can I...?"
Sigh. "Yes, you can keep the jam."
"Yes!" Beyond cheered then followed Light out.
I was wondering why the young boy looked jam so much until Ryuzaki said, "Its his favorite snack."
"Oh.. That explains it."
Ryuzaki and Light had said good bye then walked out to the car, Beyond was already there, and drove away. I closed the door and leaned my back against its wooden surface. "What the hell... do I do now...?" I murmured out loud.
Where Light was previously sitting was a half empty bag of potato chips, and where Ryuzaki had been sitting was a leftover lollipop stick and a half eaten cupcake. I smiled a little at this. All they're leftovers were they're favorite snacks, surprising that they'd leave it behind. Walking over, I picked up they're garbage and went into the kitchen to deposit it in the trash. Only I found out that I had left my trash outside, so it would be picked up tomorrow.
Sigh. "Wow, I'm an idiot." I walked outside to the end of the curb where the trash can sat idly. The lid lifted up and I threw the half eaten snacks in there. I never had much taste for sweets, or salty things for that matter so I wouldn't eat them. Besides- I only kept the cupcakes, lollipops, and chips here so when my friend came over they would have something to snack on.
Before I walked inside, the roof of my house creaked unevenly. My feet stopped moving and I stood completely still- my roof never creaked. Something was up.
Did I risk looking up to see what was there? It was still somewhat light out, there shouldn't be any vampires out. Unless...
My head tipped up to see the roof of my house. A figure- looked like a person, stood standing on top of my old battered roof. My heart jumped into my throat- it was the same demon from yesterday.
"Yo, redhead," the figure said then jumped down to stand face to face with me. They landed with a soft thump! and for a moment we just stared at each other. I didn't have the courage to speak up, and it looked like he was studying me.
Finally I found my voice and stammered, "Your.. From last night."
"Glad to see you remember, redhead," they said still staring at me. They're blue gaze strayed over to my neck, where the wounds still remained. "That little kid didn't tell you what got would rid of those yet?"
"Little kid?" I echoed. "Kid... You mean Beyond?"
"Yeah, that's him. He's a vampire, if I remember correctly," he smirked and now I was suddenly interested in how the two knew each other. Something about this vampire made me want to know.
"Why are you here anyway?" I said quietly, trying to look away from the blonde.
"Why you ask?" the blonde said, nonchalantly looking at his fingers. "Well..." He suddenly sprang at me, knocking me into the grass and holding at my wrists.
"H-Hey! What are you-? Get off!" I yelled, trying to free myself but I'm kind of weak, so I guess it wasn't much of a challenge. Still, I wish I knew what he was going to do.
The vampires formally blue eyes shone red as he licked his lips and bent down. "Compensation," he said going closer to my neck.
What's he trying to do? I thought and closed my eyes tightly, protesting "Hey, get off! Don't bite me again!"
Words failed me as I felt something wet on the wounds on my neck. This guy was...licking the wounds? "Wha...?" What made the whole thing weirder was that the wounds were getting smaller, and my neck felt better.
After a few seconds or so, the blonde loosened his grip around my wrists and left my neck. I managed to free one hand and wrapped it around the wounds, trying to see what he did.
But there was nothing there. The wounds were gone, and it was dry. My eyes were wide as the blonde spoke, "You know... a wound caused by a vampire can only be healed by that vampire. I did compensation, right?"
"..." No sound came from me.
"Who are you, anyway?" the blonde asked.
"M-Matt..." I stammered.
"Mello," the blonde said, addressing himself.
"Ca-Can I get up now?" I muttered. "This isn't very comfortable..."
Mello smirked and suddenly got a firm grasp around my wrist. "No, I'm feeling kind of hungry.. And since you're here..."
My heart thumped loudly inside my chest as I tried to push the vampire off. "No! Get off! I'm nobody's snack! And.. And.. You just got rid of those too!"
Mello was already leaning back in toward my neck. "I'll just heal it back again, Matt. You'll be fine..."
"No I won't! Get off!" I yelled and still tried to push him off. Sadly, nothing worked so I thought I might as well just get it over with and hope it doesn't hurt.
"YOU VAMPIRE! GET OFF HIM! GET OUTTA TOWN TOO WHY DON'T YOU?"
Mello's head snapped up and looked in the direction of where the voice came from- on her front lawn, not too far from us, was my friend Misa. She was Light's girlfriend and she also went to our school, and she also lived alone like me. Something happened to her parents but she wouldn't tell anyone We get along OK but right now, I owe her big time.
"YOU HEARD ME! GET OFF HIM!" Misa continued yelling at him, grabbing a big stick off the ground and waving it at him.
"Shit,"Mello cursed under his breath and got up. "Never meant to make a scene..." I sat up but Mello forced my head up to look at him. He told me, "I'll be seeing you again reaaal soon, Matt." And just like that, he disappeared.
As my breathing steadied, Misa ran over to me after abandoning her stick and asked, "Matty, are you okay?"
"Uhh.. Yeah. I'm fine. Thanks for that Misa. I owe you," I said standing up.
"Oh no, its okay," Misa said smiling. "I just want those Vampires outta town already. They've been causing so much trouble lately. I'm guessing that one wasn't born one of those demons, since he could be out in the sunlight." Misa started rambling on and on, like she usually would and I ended up just telling her-
"Thanks Misa. I'll see you tomorrow, ok?"
"Kay. Later, Matty!" Misa waved then turned around and walked back to her house.
Once she left, I made my way inside and slammed the door shut, finally letting the blush I was holding back spread across my face. "Oh my sweet Zelda, was that guy trying to fuck me or something? Can a person even get raped by a vampire? Ahh! This is so weird!" I ended up hitting my head on the wall about three times.
"Owww," I moaned. "Stupid vampire.. He's probably gay or something..." I stopped talking and thought, I'm talking to myself.. What the hell am I doing? "I think I need to lay down..."
If only I knew this was the start of the worst to come.
