We went through the dark house until we came to stairs leading to the basement. This whole time I had been hearing a variety of noises and now I realize that they seem to originate from the basement. I let Riley go first and then I followed close behind. When we reached the bottom I quickly took in my surroundings. Lounging around the large room was about twenty-three other vampires. I was easily the youngest at age fourteen. All were doing anything from watching tv, to playing video games, to just sitting around talking. They all went silent when we entered. "Okay everyone. This here is Miranda and obviously she is new. Now I want you all to be nice," he paused to give them a stern look, "And to help her out. But for now, I need her to be taught to hunt the *correct* way."

He looked around and and then said, "Diego, will you show her?"

A man about seventeen with dark curly hair and dark red eyes came forward. "Sure thing."

"And Fred go with them. It's about time for you to go."

Another man, a blond twenty year old one, rose from a couch pushed into a corner. I caught the smallest glimpse of a girl behind it.

I noticed that all the other vampires, including Diego and Riley, shrunk back as Fred neared them. Fred either didn't notice or didn't care. Riley nodded to us and then the two men went up the stairs while I quietly followed behind. As we left I could hear Riley telling a few others that they could leave.

The moment we left the house Diego and Fred broke out into a run I did the same. I surprised myself when I quickly passed them up without even trying and then I had a hard time pacing myself with them. I just wanted to run! It was such an exhilarating feeling that I didn't want to end. Before I knew it, we hit the city of Seattle.

When we entered the city limits we slowed down and began to walk. It felt so painfully slow compared to running. Bu then I smelled something. All around me came the scent of what I assumed to be human. It was an amazing smell that made the burn immediately flare. "Aah!" Both men turned around, almost startled at my sudden yell of pain. "Don't worry." Diego said calmly, "It will be better soon."

We then quicken our pace a little as we came to a run down part of town. "Okay Miranda. Lesson number one is too always go after the lowest class. Bums, gang members. Anyone that won't be really missed."

"Why?"

"So there's not too much attention brought to us. Riley gets a little pissed if we don't."

I nodded, ready for the actual hunting to begin. We walked a little bit more until we heard a sound. It was the distinct rhythm of hearts beating. Quietly motioning, Diego led us to where three bums were standing around a fire in a barrel in an underpass. He motioned for Fred, who I constantly forgot was there, to go first and show me how it's done. I noticed that Diego still didn't look directly at him. We sat in silence while watching Fred sneak up behind the men. In no time at all he had hit the back of their head, successfully knocking them out. The smell of the blood and the heat radiating from it pushed me over the edge.

I leapt from our hiding spot behind a bush and ran to the fallen humans. I grabbed the closest one and sank my teeth in, barely taking note of sourness of the taste. The burn was soothed as I drank but once again flared as I dropped the dry body. I looked up. Both of the male vampires had finished theirs as well. Straightening up I asked, "Is that really how blood tastes?" Stretching Diego answered, "Not even close but that's generally what we get. That's how an alcoholic's blood tastes."

Nodding, I looked at Fred who looked to be lost in his own world. He was a quiet one. "Lets get rid of the bodies." said Diego, breaking into my thoughts.

We each grabbed a body, which were surprisingly light, and then ran to the junkyard which luckily was close by.

We separated, each to find their own place to hide their body. I found an empty car, which I forced the trunk open to place the body in. I walked back to meet up with the other two when I heard the heartbeat. A watchman was doing his rounds nearby. My throat burned with thirst.
