The Vampire War : Chapter Two

Six months later

Marceline floated a few inches above the soft grass of the forest floor, on this cloudy night she had finally mastered her flying. She was thinking about the day she was turned, it wasn't actually that long ago but her mind would always wander there when she had any spare time.

I cant believe that freakin' guy just left me laying there, he could have atleast given me a crash course on all this vampire junk! Like what the ballzocks dude, i didn't even get that guy's name... He just turned me into a vampire and left me...

For Marceline the first few weeks of being a vampire was super awesome, the first thing she had learnt to do was turn invisible; so she had spent the first few weeks scaring the pants off everything she met.

After the first few weeks though, somehow scaring people lost its greatness. Now she just tried to master her powers and stay out of the sun, that was the first thing she had learnt. The first time the suns rays touched her it was the worst thing in the world, it hurt worse than when she had been laying at the bottom of the cliff. Although it didn't hurt as much as when that guy had turned her... She didn't think anything could ever hurt more than that.

As she serenely floated along she listened to the calls of the night birds and the noises of the animals of the night. Although something seemed wrong, it was like something was watching her from within the thick press of trees, or maybe it was a someone. She had heard stories of vampire hunters and she didn't want to fall prey to one of those, she hadn't even been a vampire for more than a year yet and someone was already hunting her.

She scanned the forest with her scarlet glowing eyes, she had discovered her eyes glowed scarlet in the dark the hard way. She had been following this farmer, doing what she called the spooky vampire walk behind him. Every time he turned around she would turn invisible and when he continued walking she would end her invisibility. Eventually though she thought she was safe from his sight when she was standing in some deep dark shadows caused by a bunch of trees.

The farmer actually didn't see her, but he did see a pair of sinister scarlet eyes staring out at him from the darkness. It was enough to scare anyone, but the farmer was easily scared and he actually let out a high pitched shriek of terror. The farmer was actually so terrified that he wet his pants and was rooted to the spot in fear, his voice was so shaky it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying, "P-please m-mr e-vil cr-creature...I-I h-have a fa-family. "

Marceline laughed at the poor man, treating this whole thing like a joke she leapt out of the shadows and hissed in the mans face.

She hadn't expected the man to flip out like he did and he fell to the hard stone path and smashed his face. She bent to help the man up asking, "hey are you okay? I didn't mean to scare you that ba-" that was when she discovered something else. Something that she hated with all her unbeating heart. At the time she didn't hate it, it was the most wonderful smell in the world. She turned the man over and saw his face was covered in blood.

Her long forked tongue flicked out and tasted some of the blood, the metallic sweetness of it sent shivers down her spin and caused goosebumps all over her arms. She honestly couldn't help herself after that single little taste. Her new fangs fully extended quite painfully, they had never extended that far before. She latched herself onto the mans neck and he screamed, she began to feed for the first time.

By the time she was done her messy feeding she was completely covered in the mans blood, she looked down at herself and her eyes widened in horror. She quickly ran from the farmers grey shriveled body.

Now that she had discovered her lust for blood, it constantly nagged at was always there in the corners of her mind, it was like a bad addiction that she was trying to control. She was doing quite well she hadn't fed since that farmer incident four months ago, but now she felt extremely tired during the day and very weak and defenseless when she woke up.

She still felt as if someone or something was watching her from the darkness. She heard a branch snap and her eyes widened with a little bit of fear, she quickly speed up her flying and flew straight into a huge tree. She lost her concentration and fell to the ground, she lay there groaning and then she heard a voice from up in the tree.

"Why is it that every time I see you, you are on the ground?"

The man the voice belonged to floated out of the tree, he had shaggy black hair, his eyes glowed a deeper scarlet than hers did, he wore pitch black leather armor that made him sort of difficult to see, he had a small smile on his face and his fangs poked out a bit.

Marceline knew who it was the moment she had heard his voice, "You!" she exclaimed.

"yah, its me." The man said as he touched down on the ground beside her.

"Why the heck did you leave me?!" she asked while still on the ground.

"Well, I have more important things to do than look after a new vampire. " he said while holding his hand out to help her up.

Marceline didn't take his hand, "I can get up by myself. " She did get up by herself, she stood there a little light headed and glared at the man, "you could have atleast told me what to expect! "

The mans smile widened on one side so he was smirking, " Really? I find that it's better to figure that stuff out for yourself. You'll have a better understanding of your abilities. "

The mans smirk just made Marceline angrier, " well I don't care! You should have told me!"

"well I'm here now aren't I?"

"Whatever dude. I don't even know your name."

The mans smile widened again, " My name is Derrick."

"I'm Marceline. "

The two stood there for a bit, intil Derrick finally said, "well i think its time for you to start learning your powers."

Marceline smiled and simply said, "Sweet."
