Night of the Vampires

I was walking home from the mall one evening, just getting done shopping at Hot Topic. The best store ever! I remember the last time I went there, my friend Sammy was having a concert. I just love his music, but that night was different then many others. As I like to put it, that’s when I was changed from a normal girl to a blood sucking monster. My name is Sarah Vanpattersan. I have long, straight, black hair that brushes against the back of my legs. I used to have warm, tan skin, but now I’m as pale as a ghost and constantly feel as if I am inside a freezer. My eyes used to be a deep, dark ocean blue, but now are an icy crystal blue like a husky’s. That night when I saw him, the one who changed me, I was wearing a black tank top above my belly button and tight black jeans. All my outfits outline my body. I’m the skinniest person in my school; I can fit the tiniest of places. I thought that the young man was just walking home as well.
So we walked together. We walked until we came upon an ally. We made a wrong turn. When I came to this realization I tried to turn and walk away, but I felt him put his arm around my waist and the other held my head to the side. I thought that it was a joke until I felt him lick my neck and something pierce my skin. It felt like two sharp needles. Then I smelled fresh blood and felt some of it leaving my body. Suddenly there was a heavy weight on my chest and I couldn’t breath.
“What are you doing?” I vaguely remember asking.
“Making you immortal, so we can be together” he said in a deep, sweet voice. I then lost consciousness.
That was in 1993, I was eighteen then and still am to this very day. Its now 2009 and I still look exactly the same. I have not aged and I have had to fake my death so that no suspicions arise from those close to me. It broke my heart to hear my parents cry as if the apocalypse were at hand. Now that they think I’m dead, I secretly watch over them. And now that I am gone to them, they never smile, they never laugh, and they never have fun and enjoy their lives. I remember my friend’s faces. At my funeral, they were so sad. I wanted to cry then and there, but no tears came yet my eyes stung. My eyes popped open at that dream and they stung so badly. I got up and changed from my pajamas into a long; black, silk dress that outlined my body so perfectly well that you could see the curves of my chest down to my waist. There was a little slit at the bottom that my leg sticks out of from midway up my thigh.
I put on my long, black goth boots that stops at my knees. Those are my most favorite. I wear those all the time. I walked to my mirror to put on pale powder and black eye liner. I brushed my hair so it would have its normal look. You know what seems creepy? Everywhere I look I see his face. I never got his name so I need to get that. I just wish that I’ll see him again. Before I walked out I grabbed my leather jacket that touches my ankles. I took the belt off so when I run it will fly behind me and because I just hated the way the belt looked. I also grabbed my wallet and house keys then jumped out of my room window which is on the second floor of an apartment. I never had a room mate, it’s not because I don’t want one, it’s just I don’t want to hurt them when I go on a rampage for blood. I just want to keep them safe. I drink animal blood that is from the wild. Every night before I sleep or when I get that burning feeling in my throat I go to the woods and feed off of any animal I can get. I really like the deer’s blood. It’s sweet and tastes like strawberries mixed with heavenly chocolate. Well that’s what I think it tastes like. Others think that it tastes like crap.
I know some vampires who drink human blood when it’s against the vampire law. I feel sorry for the humans that were turned. Except me. I’m going to get revenge from him. As I landed on my feet and walked to my motorcycle. I don’t plan on riding it, but I know that my car is on the other side of it. Both of them are sleek black and they cost like tons of money. For some apparent reason I like expensive things. I never did before. I opened the car door and got in when I thought I saw a man in front of me. I got back out and ran up to him.
“Hey! You! Why are you here?” I asked. The man stopped running and turned to look at me. I came to a sudden stop. I was frozen. It was him, the young man. As I was having flash backs of when I met him he started taking.
“So we see each other again” he said in the same voice as last time.
“Yes we do, but I’ve never gotten your name” I said with as much calmness I could give.
“Eric. Eric Wellington and I never did get your name”
“Sarah Vanpattersan”
“Nice to finally know your name”
“Yours too”
I didn’t really like that fact that he knew where I now live or anything like that, but I now have to deal with it. As I was thinking about how to get revenge, he walked up to me and grabbed an inch of my hair and sniffed it. I grabbed his arm and pushed him away from me. He looked at me with weird eyes. I looked in them and there was a hint of concern and love in them. I’m really not into the love thing. I really could care less for it. I glared at him for five to ten minutes.
“Well I can see that I’m not wanted” a bit of sadness was in his tone of voice. I could also tell that he was hurt because his eyes showed me just that. I narrowed my eyes and walked back to my car. I could see that Eric’s dark brown hair got longer and sleeker. His looks was like an angel sent down from haven, but if he thought that I would fall in love with that then he’s wrong. I never give in to looks. To me its all about personality. Only certain ones will get my love. I don’t like Eric’s personality one bit. To me he has a big ego and is a jerk. I opened my car door and got in. I sighed, I hated this guy, I don’t want any thing to do with him. I slammed the door shut and hit the steering wheel. I was frustrated already and I don’t need it. I felt my eyes sting again. I was trying to cry. I put my head on the wheel and tried to calm down. I hated Eric so much that I would kill him, but I never killed anyone in my life.
When I finally calmed down I stared the car and backed out. Then I drove off to the carnival. I had to meet someone there. I hear that she’s the most powerful vampire of all and that she defeated Luke. The most evil of our kind. He tried to destroy the human race. When I got to the carnival and parked I thought that I saw Eric again. I shook my head to get the image out then got out of the car. Before I closed the door I grabbed my leather jacket. I wear it all the time. Even in the most hottest weather. I never get warm and I never get cold. Well my whole body is already freezing so I can’t feel anything. My body is also hard as stone.
I closed the door and walked up to the entrance. It was only two dollars to get in, So I paid. The carnival was different every year. This time they had gypsies and belly dancers. It remained me of pirate fest last week. It was pretty fun. I was one of the sword fighters. I win every time, but then I quit when I nearly killed someone when I accidentally cut their shoulder. I went berserk and it took seven people to hold me back. Remembering that day sent shivers down my spine.
“Excuse me, are you Sarah Vanpattersan?” I heard a sweet heavenly voice ask. I looked up from my feet and saw a young girl about seven-teen years old. You think that Luke was destroyed fifty years ago that the one that destroyed him would be in their twenty’s or thirty’s, no she’s only seven-teen. She has long, straight blond hair. Her skin looked so smooth and it shined like an angel’s skin. Her eyes were dark green with a mix of silver. I felt like I could just start crying and hug her and she just wouldn’t care. Like she would love me for who I am. My eyes stung like fire would burn the skin of a mortal. My head hung and my shoulder shook like I was crying. I really was trying, but my eyes keep stinging.
I felt the young girl hug me. Her touch was like a mothers. I just couldn’t stop crying. So she took me to her office. When we got there I was calm and I just stopped crying. Her office was a trailer. I thought that maybe she was a belly dancer or gypsy. We walked in and it was nothing like that. It was filled with candles and Wicca stuff. There were also skulls and snakes, there was no sun light at all. It was pure darkness. I felt at home here and that slowed my breathing a bit. She let go of my arm and walked to a chair.
“So your Sarah. I’m Thorn DarkRose”
“Nice to meet you Thorn” I kept looking around still trying to calm down then I sat down in the empty chair. Then the door opened again and another girl came in. she also has long hair, but it’s red. I figured that she was Irish. She looked to be about my height and size in clothing. So she was also very skinny. Her chest was bigger, but I don’t want to get into that. She was wearing everything black. Black boots, black shirt, black jeans, everything. I had a feeling that we would be great friends.
“Kirsten welcome back sis” Thorn said to the young girl. When Kirsten looked up her face looked like Thorn’s, but she as a small tan. Her sent smelled like a mortal, but her sister is a vampire. I just don’t understand.
“Thank you sis” she said in a small, but strong voice. Her eyes were just normal green. I thought that maybe I’ve seen her before because she looked so familiar. She looked at me with scared eyes. I also felt fear in the air, but I didn’t know if it was from me or something else. My thoughts were interrupted when Thorn laughed. I looked at her confused.
“What?” I asked. Thorn turned her head to look at me with a smile on her face. Now I was really confused.
“I just remembered something. How would you like to join me in my belly dancing show today?”
“Umm sure, but I don’t know how and I don’t have an outfit”
“You can borrow mine” I herd Kirsten say as she closed the door. I looked at her and nodded.
“Thank you I’ll take very good care of it” I said as I got up “But I really don’t know how to belly dance” I added
“Don’t worry let the music guide you and I’ll share my knowledge with you. I mean your one of us vampires so I’ll just send you images of the dance though your mind” Thorn said with so much confidence, love, and respect in her voice. I didn’t feel comfortable with it, but I had to. I got up and popped my neck and knuckles. Thorn and Kirsten looked like they were very close and I didn’t want to intrude. I started to walk out when a knock was on the door.
“Oh that must be him” Thorn said as she got up. Kirsten when to the back of the trailer so she was out of sight. I was confused. Thorn opened the door and hugged someone. Then I herd a familiar voice. My eyes widen and I went to see if I was right, and sadly I was. It was Eric. I lost my breath when I saw his outfit. He was dressed as a pirate. His bare chest was showing and his pants were puffy and black. His belt was black leather like my jacket which may I add is very rare to find. When I realized that I was staring at the man I loath I turned my head so he didn’t see my face, but it was too late. He already saw me.
“Sarah” he said with love in his tone. I felt a strange feeling in my stomach, but I turned to look at him again.
“Eric” I said and I was a little shocked when I herd a little bit of caring in my voice. Thorn looked at us and was confused. Kirsten came back with a black and purple belly dancer out fit. I loved the design and color. Instead of letting her hand it to me I grabbed it and looked at it. It had the little coins of course that jiggled, and there was spirals that looks like it’s suppose to hypnotize you if you stare at in when the dancer dances. Then my thoughts were interrupted when Eric wrapped his arms around my waist and placed his head on my shoulders. He may be taller then me, but he can look like he’s my height.
“You’re dancing today? I can’t wait to see your body flow with the music” he said then kissed my neck were he bit me years ago. His lips felt so soft against my skin and it was like he was being careful about something. I wanted to have him kiss my lips. When I realized what I was thinking I shook my head not believing what I just said in my head. I wanted to slap myself, but I couldn’t because I know that it was my selfish desire. I hated myself for that. I felt my body shiver when he let me go. I couldn’t move and I couldn’t breath. Thorn placed her hand on my back and I stopped trembling. I didn’t know what happen, but I want to know why.
“Are you ok?” Thorn asked. I slowly nodded and relaxed. I saw Eric leave and I looked at Thorn.
“What just happened to me?” I asked still confused.
“You’re in love with Eric. I was to, but he said no to me five years ago. He said that he found someone in 1993. He was just waiting for her to come to her scenes. I acted the same way you did, but I loved his touch. I still do” she said with a sigh. By the look on her face she was thinking about her being his. I shook my head not wanting to deal with this.
“I’ll go change” I said as I walked to the back of the trailer and entered a room. As I started to strip I thought about Eric. When I was done I grabbed my crystal necklace and put it around my neck. It flows down and stops at my chest. I put on the shoes they had out for me.
The outfit, it acted like my other clothing, but with jingles and its from the pirate ages. I loved the top it was able to cover my chest, but there was no straps and it had gloves that start at my middle fingers and stops at my elbows. When I came out of the room Eric was back and was yelling at Thorn. I was around the corner and heard everything.
“What your doing to me?! Get off!” Eric yelled with such strength in his voice. I heard struggle and a gasp from Thorn.
“But I love you! Don’t you understand?! I love you!” Thorn yelled with such lust in her voice. I could tell that she wanted sex with him and he didn’t want it. I walked out and grabbed Thorns arm.
“Thorn let him go. He doesn’t want it” I said calmly, but a bit disgusted with her. Thorn looked at me and got off. Her eyes looked like she was going to shot me with beams of light. Then she left the room I looked at Eric to see if he was alright. He was perfectly fine.
“Did she try to hurt you?” I asked.
“Yes, but I’m fine now” he grabbed my hand as he said that. I looked at him and he smiled. I love his smile. Its wonderful like an angels. I put my hand on his cheek and put my face closer to his. He did the same. I was able to feel the coldness of his skin and the smell his breath. It was like chocolate. When the door opened I pulled away and he did to. It was like the light from out side broke the trance that we both were in.
“Five more minutes Thorn” a girls voice said. I covered my face so they wouldn’t see me, but they already closed the door. I felt Eric put his hand on the bottom of my chin and gently pulled my face up. I looked at him and his face was again in mine. He slid his hand to the back of my neck and gently pulled me closer. I closed my eyes feeling like I can over rule any darkness. Then his lips was gently pressed on mine for a kiss. I kissed him back then pulled away.
“I better go I don’t have long” I got up as I said that and walked out. I didn’t know why, but I loved the kiss we shared together. It was magical. As I was walking around to get to the stage, people were staring at my pale skin and weird light color eyes. I saw the king and bowed when he passed. It was a habit of mine. When I got to the stage it was full of people and Eric was by the drums. I smiled at him as I walked up. He smiled too. I heard awes when I was walking across the stage. I walked with such grace and beauty I thought that I could be the princess. I stopped by Eric and waited for Thorn. She never showed. I was nervous when I found out that I have to do the show alone. I never belly danced before, but I got to the middle of the stage and as the instruments started playing my body flowed with it. My hips were always in the same rhythm as the instruments. By the middle of the dance I remembered about my fire powers and used them.
I breathed out fire and made shapes. I made fire appear out of no where and all that. When the whole show was over I bowed and thanked them for coming. Some of the men stayed while their girlfriends or wives left. I ran to Eric and hugged him like a child running to her father when she’s happy. He picked my up and kissed my head.
“You did great. Nice touch with the fire” he said as he put me down. I really couldn’t believe what I was doing, but I didn’t care. We left the stage together and came across a young boy that looked like Eric. Well not look like I say seems like. He had the pale, cold skin, the unnatural color eyes, and wears dark outfits. I stared at him and he smiled at me. I saw two sharp teeth. I looked at Eric and he saw the same thing as I did.
“Can you help me find Sarah?” the young boy asked
“I’m Sarah” I said confused. I didn’t like the aura around this boy.
“Thorn wants you to leave and never return” he said then left. I looked at Eric and he stared at me. I shrugged and walked. I went to my car and Eric followed.
“So what are your plans for tonight?” he asked me as he opened my car door for me.
“Not really sure. Want to come over?” I looked at him after I put my stuff in the car. He stared at me while thinking.
“Sure” he jumped over the car and got in. I laughed and got in too. I drove off and went home while talking to him.
†††
At home he sat on the couch and I was in my room changing. I was happy to get the belly dancers outfit off. It was a relief. I got on a pair of tight jeans and black tank top. I felt like I was back in time cause this was the same outfit that I wore when I was bitten and transformed. I sighed and went to the stairs and instead of walking down them I just jumped over the railing. My feet hit the ground so gently that you could never hear anything. I walked to the living room and saw Eric laying down staring at a picture of my parents. I stared at him, he did look like a model or an angel. His shirt was undone and you could see his bare chest. He has six pack abs and a happy trail. He doesn’t have a big tummy, but a tight one.
I walked into the room and sat on his stomach gently, but before my sneak attack was complete he grabbed my waist and sat up. Then he pulled me down on his lap. I couldn’t help, but blush. I felt his chest move like he was chuckling and he was. I herd him laugh at my face. I really couldn’t help it, but blush again. I heard him stop and put his head on my back. I narrowed my eyes not really knowing what to do. All I know was that I was suppose to be thirty-four, but I’m still eight-teen. That I thank him for making me young for the rest of my life. I love the fact that I can have this and him. I feel like I’m the most luckiest person in the world.
I heard a snore and looked at him. He was asleep. I smiled and tried to get up, but was pulled back down. I looked at him again and saw him smiling from his heart. Not a painted on smile like he usually did. I leaned back so that his chest was under my back. He already had his head up for me so I’m glade about that. When I remembered that I hated him and never wanted to be next to him I smiled. It was different now. I want to be around him forever. I laid my head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
†††
In my dream I was with Eric and I was happy until he started to walk away. I tried to catch up to him. I yelled his name and he ignored me, I ran as fast as I can, but never caught up. Darkness came over me and the only light was from him. Then he disappeared along with the light. I feel on my knees and started crying. I was colder and slowly dieing. I was able to see my breath in a puff of smoke. I fell to my side freezing like a human in a freezer. Then a knife appeared in my hand and I stabbed my gut then my heart. And I was dead.
†††
After the dream I woke up frightened and unable to breath. I was gasping. When I finally calmed down I noticed that I was laying down on the couch and Eric was gone. I saw a note that said ‘Be right back. I hope I can see you sleep again.’ I blushed at the last part. “ Sleep? There’s no way I’m going back to sleep” I thought. I got up and went to my room. I was tired of the nightmares that I keep having. I changed into the belly dancing outfit again. I just love it. I can’t believe that I get to keep it. I was about to close my bedroom door when I saw something shine in the window sill. I walked over to it and saw that it was a diamond necklace. My mouth hung open as I slowly picked it up.
“So you like my gift?” I herd that sweet deep voice again. I turned and saw Eric in his pirate outfit. He had his smile on his face and he seemed so gentle. I smiled as I hugged him, he took the necklace and put it on me. I stared at him well not him, but his eyes. Some thing was wrong with them. They were not the usual shade of icy blue. They were a bit darker and a different color. They were dark red. I was confused. I backed away.
“Eric your eyes are r-red” I said confused and a bit scared.
“Oh that means I’m hungry. Sorry if they scare you. Do you have blood?” he asked in his kind voice. I shook my head.
“Then how did you live for so long?”
“I drink animal blood” I walked past him and showed him the woods. “I go hunting to sharpen my skills and senses”
“Oh I see. I never thought of that” He jumped out the window and ran into the woods. I decided to follow him. In the woods it was kind of foggy. It was really hard to see anything. I heard and smelled blood being taken. I followed my instances and followed the smell. It lend me to where Eric was. He was by a river drinking blood from a doe. I had to smile that he wasn’t taking a human’s life. It made me feel good inside. I gently touched the necklace while I blushed. I couldn’t believe that he got me a diamond necklace. Their really hard to get. I walked over and joined him in his meal. I figured that I should teach him how to care for humans like I do.
“Eric if you want to be with me then you need to care for humans. You need to love and protect them from any danger. And that doesn’t mean that you could betray their trust and feed from them.” I said in a serious tone. He looked at me is eyes normal and nodded. He understood what he was giving up just so he could be with me, and he knew what he had to do.
“Wait dose that mean I have to protect criminals?”
“No, you just give them to the police after you stop them.”
He just nodded again understanding. We continued our meal while our laughter filled the air around us. When the doe was drained of blood we walked back to my house. I never thought that Eric would make me laugh or even smile again. I never thought that I would fall in love too, but I don’t know if I can love again. Because of every bad relationship that I ever went though. But I feel like I can trust him even after he turned me into a blood sucking demon.
