Chapter one

Chapter one
Im running trough the lights.There are people everywhere.I look up and green light flashes isto my eyes.I look down and start running again.My hands are wet.It's...it's blood.Who's blood is it?Im still running from something.Music is too loud.People are pushing me.Then,all of the sudden nothing.Just the light,music and me.Empty place.I turn around and a girl is coming towards me.She is thin and has long straight hair.The light shines on her.Its Viktoria.She looks scared.
''Look at this!Why did you do this to me?''she said quietly.Then louder and louder she repeated those words to me.She is holding her neck.''Why?''she screameed once again and removed her hand from her neck.Blood started pouring down.Her dress became filled with it.I shouted for her while trying to help her, but i cant move.I look back up at her and she is aproaching me.She is now right in front of me.Her neck,hair clothes everything is bloody.
I'm trying to say her name but i cant.She leaned her head to the right and smiled.''Eat now.''She closed her eyes.Her hand whiped the blood from her neck and i can clearly see a bite mark.A few more blood drops slided down her neck.Im hungry...soo hungry.Just a little bite wont hurt.
I leaned towards her as i felt my fangs grow only to lean into nothing.I lookt around and she is nowhere to be found.I heard gasping and turned towards that sound.There she is,laying on the floor.Covered in her blood.Her eyes are wide open while she gasps for air.Then i realised she is calling for help.Suddently the room is full of people just staring at me.''Freak!''one of them shouted.Other one called me a ''weirdo''.The guy next to him a ''psycho''.Then a few girls started calling me ugly,fat and each insult ended with a word ''freak''.I try to run but as i turned around i see viktoria's father.His eyes are shocked at first then they are blinded by rage.He reaches for my neck and right before he grabs it a room filled with red light is in front of my eyes.
I sit up while making shure i still have my neck.My heart feels like its going to explode.My shirt is wet from the sweat.Taking deep breaths calmed me down.This dream made me woke up like this many times before tonight.Its not always the same location,but the outcome is.Always ends in blood,and i always get attacked.I will never sleep calmly again.And i dont deserve too either.
While removing my sheats i realised all the papers are still on my bed.Well they were.They are covering the floor now.There is a girl in my room.She is pale,lifeless and looks beaten.I blink to her,and she blinks back.Down where her lips are she has brown stains streching all the ways down.I should realy clean the mirror.I turned towards the window.Someone is fighting again.Must be that couple in the opposite building,on the top floor.Fish,steak,soup...tomato soup.This soup smells like that lady that lives down the block.She used extra salt tonight.Those keys i heard must be from her husband.Yeah,thats his old, smelly car that made his way trough the street earlier tonight.He came home late again.I leaned on the window and took a deep breath.His car smeels like sea.I can feel the sand on his shoes.He visited that woman again.That likes to use strong parfeumes.She rubs all of it agains him.Vampire or not i dont know how can u not sence that.Maybe she knows,but why would...A dog is barking in the apartment next door,to the restaurant across the street.
This is the third night.He never barks.Something is wrong.I put on short pants and a long sleeved shirt and grabbed my sneekers.A car almost hit me because my untied shoe.As im coming closer dog stops barking.Im standing in front of the fence but i cant see him.His smell is fading outside.Then a loud banging makes me jump a little.No one else heard it.Perks and cons about having super everything i guess.I lookt behind me to make shure no one is looking and jumped the fence.I felt my lungs as i jumped down.I should stop smoking.But hey,this fence is one metter bigger than i am.
''You bag of s**t!''Voice inside of the house shouted.Now i can smell alcohol on his breath.If he is hitting that dog i will kill him.I ran across the small yard and leaned next to the window.Smell of ciggaretes hit me right before the sweat did.I have to turn my head in the other direction or ill vomit.There is noone in the living room so i continue towards the next window.Along the way im hearing swearing and objects crashing into the furniture.This room is dark but i can still se clearly where everything is.And no one is in there.If im not counting flies and spiders on the walls.
Back doors are closed.But the window on the first floor is open.Well,i havent done my workout in a while.I put my leg in the small hole on the wall,and grab another one with my hand.Now i can jump.I pushed myself up and cought the window with one hand.With one more push i was in.But before i go investigate i have to stop for a second.Im not in shape.Doors are old,and the animal abuser is drunk so no worry that he will hear me.As i grabed the handle i heard the dog.I heard his air as it violently left his lungs.What the hell am i duing,sneeking around the house like this.He is going to die anyway,
I rushed downstairs not worying will he hear me.As i reached the bottom stair i heard a click.''Where are you going honey?''He was standing behind me with a shotgun.The poor dog was on the other side of the living room.''I asked ya something!''he jelled at me as i turned to face him.His breath reminds me of a road kill if you pee on it.
''Well havent you heard?''i said ''it's raining girls out there.'' I smiled.''I was lucky i landed on this s**t hole you call a house.''He stroak his beard while looking up and down at me.I can take his gun,but if he fires the cops will be here in three minutes.I heard them pass by a minute ago.
''You shugar,will entertain me tonight.''He went from his beard towards his pants.That is not the site i want to see tonight.I have enough nightmares as it is.One hand grabbed the top of the shotgun while the other kicked it from his hand.But not before he shoot me.I fell on the floor as blood started to spread on my white shirt.My heart is breking.Litterally.I am a vampire but this hurts like hell.He dropt his gun and kneeled next to me with his mouth wide open.He is studdering while trying to say something.All he said is ''f**k'' and ''who will clean this up''.Okay,fat,drunken,stinky a-hole,time for you to die.I grabbed his neck and lifted him up,right before swinging him on the floor.
''Short death or long?'' this question was more to scare him.I know i have to leave in a minute so it has to be short.
His head can now look back,while his legs go foward.This way it will look like he feel.I think.As im about to call the dog he came up to me and licked my arm.''You honey,are coming with me.''
I opened the window and jumped out with the dog behind me.People are already on the windows looking for a clue about what happened.Now i must find another way out.Great.I made my way trough the lemon trees of his neighbour and circeled back home.Grabbing someones shirt along the way.As i entered my building i felt dizzy and sick.While grabbing the wall i cut myself.Blood.Im still bleeding.I walked on all fours to my apartment,with the dog behind me.Bathroom door was closed,and opening them wasn't an easy task.They got jammed again.I kneeled and grabbed a tovel while taking someones shirt off of me.It has acdc logo on it.To bad its messed up with my blood.
Another breath made my heart almost jump out.I feel like im burning up.I havent eaten anything in a while.Well nothing raw that is.Dog is sitting on the toilet seat next to me.
''Hey,boy.How did u get up here?'' He just lookt at me blankely.I can only imagine how confused he is.''You hungry?'' Again just a blank look.That will be taken as a yes.Does he know i just killed his owner?Maybe he knows im not human and that i dont like humans very much.Or vampires for that matter.If i could live in a small house somwhere next to the sea,but close to the forrest with no one around.That would be a paradise.just peace and quiet.But no.Lara must do something stupid like work for Igor.
''Why am i that stupid boy?'' His tail is waving aroud as im giving him some chinesse food from the restaurant downstairs.Its a god restaurant,but that red light is flickering for the past month.
A bark.
I turned around to look at him sitting there with his plate empty.He is faste.What should i name you?Bolt,perhaps.No he doesnt look like a Bolt.With his black fur he looks like a wolf.And he is a bit older dog.Wonder for how long he had to live with that idiot over there.The police parked on the street,closing it for any direction.Ambulance can be heard from seven miles away.People gathered around.A lot of them.When did i start to kill like this?With no remorse what so ever.The guy was a jerk,but to kill someone should cause something.Right?If my mom could hear my toughts right now i bet she would be proud.Sarcasm wont help,Lara.I tought to myself.
Vamps do what vamps do.Igor's great quotes.That should be printed on the shirts.I realised im being watched.Its that feeling that goes up your spine when someones eyes are locked on you.My eyes took me toward the building that faces my little building.There is a lot of people trying to see what's going on on the street.Almost every windows has a person.Almost.One got my atention.Its dark inside and i cant see much from this distance but i feel like there is someone watching me,in that apartment.
Could be just some granny.I mean i am staring at her too,soi must be as crazy as she is.Ambulance parked in front of the house.Two entered.One came back and took the strecher with him.A few minutes later they came back with a bag,on the strecher.They asked an officer to help them carry him in the car.I laughed.When i realised that i stopt.I really need a doctor.
Dog is now on the couch.His tummy inflated.I know!I will name him Chubby.
''Chubby?'He raised his eyebrows and stuck his tounge out.Yes.From now on you are chubby.
For some reason i keep waking up.And the reason is not the vodka.0.75 to be precise.Im proud of the amount i can drink.A woman is screaming on the street.
''He is my husband!He is a good man!What happened?''Im assuming its the wife.If she is saying that he is a good man,she should see a doctor with me.He terrorised that poor dog.As im walking towards the window,im looking for chubby.He isnt answering to my puppy-noises.I know they arent very good but they work.Usually.
That window cought my attention again.Something is there.The watch is shoving 3 AM.Its a bit late for a granny to be awake.Something is moving behind me.I quickly turn around only to see chubby,yawning on the floor.
''You scared me.''I whispered.Wind is blowing.i love it.As im coming back to bed i notice my apartment doors are open.Just a little bit,but enough to say that someone could be in my apartment.Seriously?A tief came to stole from me?Great!Maybe  i can have a proper meal after all these months.Im rushing trough the house,but nothing.No smell,nothing is different,no human heart beat.
From all this running around i havent noticed my wound is bleeding again.Well thats not pleasnt.I sat on the couch while staring at my shirt.Another one ruined with blood.Why cant it be ketchup or ice-cream stains?I must forgot to close the doors last night.I was busy with bleeding after all.
This place needs cleaning.And i mean serious cleaning.for a tweenty year old girl its not very nice to have a place looking like this.My phone is ringing.By picture on the phone its Mike.
''Girl,wake up!''He screamed as i moved phone away from my ear.
''Yes,lady stop-sreaming-or-i-will-come-over-there-and-kill-you.'' This was said in a happy voice,so no noe can say im rude.I heard backround music.He must be at the gallows again.
''Okay,girl.I can smell that vodka on my breath all the way from there.Even my hair spray started falling off.''He screamed at someone to take their shirt off.
''Hey listen,i gotta tell you something.''I whispered.''You are gay.''
''What!Girl you shocked the living b-jesus out of me.''Im trying to to laugh very hard.''Now for real.Two boys are here.They are new baggies.And i must say,they are fine as my nail polish right now.Wich by the way glows in the dark.''This sounds perfect.Im really up for it,eccept im to drunk to walk twenty minutes over there.Lets not forget my gun shot either.It will heal better with some party time,but im just so tired.
''Yeah,i dont know.''I said.
''Lara Pumpken called pumpkin do not make me come over there.Besides its night time you can run freely here.''Running?He is crazy if he thinks im in the mood to run.''look this guy is really cure and he wants to cross over.Soo,yeah.I need you to let me have my fun while you have fun with this other guy''.Before i could answer he said.''Please,girl.''
I hate when he uses puppy face on me.I cant see it,but i know its there.''Fine.''I heard screaming on the other side of the line.
''Hurry my love.''before i hung up i heard him saying to dress up sexy.Sexy is jeans and a black shirt to me.At least its the sexiest i have.Converse,check.Jeans,check.black shirt,sheck.makeup,sheck.And now for the grand finnale my black,leather jacket.Love this jacket as much as i love food.And thats alot.I remember the first time i saw her.She was glowing on the sun.Its was love at the first sight.
''Chubby,bubby!Mama's leaving.''I left the doors open so he can go out if he wants too.Pole still has the place surrounded.Im preety shure they have no idea what happened.I've never been cought before.This isn't the time for a change.
Im to tired to walk.And subway is close so two stations it is.
There si almost no one down here.One female all the way down,two kids about thirteen years old behind that pier and a guy in front of me.His breathing is unstedy.He is on something,i can feel his blood rushing trough his body.But his heart...its sick.Its not working well,i hear it shutting down with every beat.He wont see the daylight.The ground started shaking followed by a wheeze.
Guy got on the train.His hoodie is still covering his face.As i sat down,he took a seat next to me.Im trying not to think about his heart thats about to shut down every second.As the train started to move his breathing normalised.I guess he likes trains.Viktoria liked trains too.We were always talking about going together on a train raid across the world.Like Harry Potter she said,even she watched only one movie.She knew i love it.Liked it.Past tense.I dont watch tv anymore.I miss her so much.Her stupid jokes,her long hair,her being my sister.I dont feel anything anymore but when i think of her im aware that i dont feel,and that hurts the most.
I got lost in my mind while watching the lights as we are passing trough.I see me in the reflection.I also see the guy there too.He is keeping his head down.Not weird at all.One more station and im gone.
He smells funny.Not bad just different.Its like a combination of that nice kind of sweat and something else.I just cant put my finger on it.As the train left the station once again he said something.
''Excuse me?'' I didnt hear him.He waited a few seconds before answering.
''Thats a nice jacket.''He said in almost whispering voice.He is weir but i would never take him for a shy guy.
''Thank you.'' I noticed his shoes.''And those are badass Martens.''They are black with some gold on the sides.And im not lying i like them.He still didnt lift his head up.So now i found myself thinking.Shold i end now or should i be nice?This is my first human contact in a while,that lasted more than a few seconds in the grocery store.If i dont count the dead guy last night.''Im Lara.''I hope i dont regret this.
He lifted his head up.He is hot.I was expecting some twenty-five years old guy with a slight beard and red eyes.I even prepared my famous joke''Dud,you are high as a kite'' but he cought me off guard.I almost told him he doesnt look like a weed or any other drug related topics kind of guy.''Evan.''He said.His voice is deep.it matches his deep blue eyes.And one hell of a jaw line.''I know i look like a creep.''Can he red my mind?''But you are the only girl i saw today that doesnt have a tattoo or her breasts out.''
''Are you shure about that?''I asked.He gave me that nasty smile in the corner of his lips.''About the tattoo's part.''I added.
''Well they aren't anywhere visible.So i would have to look for them in order to find them.''Uu damn.He is good.And im sitting here thinking he is just another human failure.
Train began stoping and i got up.''Sorry shugar.You need permition for that''. ''O and go see a doctor,i am a nurse and i have reason to believe you might have a problem with your heart.''.As i got up for a moment i think i saw a flaire in his eyes.Doors opened in a perfect moment for me to flip my hair and leav graciously.Last time i did this i ended up on my bootey in front of the entire school.And later the internet.Long time since that.Feels like forever.Then my only wory was to pass class,clean my room and girls night out.Now it around fast food,killing and moving around.Well,i always wanted to travel so i cant be mad.
''They always give me.''He jelled as i was distancing.I turned around and smiled.''Premition i mean.''He said that right before the door closed,almost catching his hat.Train rolled away and im still standing here smiling at human nature.I havent laughed like this in a while.
Noise of the club started to dance around me.I just jumped the park's fence and continued into the woods.As im getting slocer the rocks begin to shake,leaves fall off.Now i just have to find the right spot.It should be around here...Here it is!There is a manhole on the ground.Covered with fake rocks.As i opened it wave of music hit me spot on.This place is louder than i remember.
There is no one but the couple on my left making out in the tunnel.I can now see the big metal doors ahead.
Keep biting till the blood drops.Then bite some more!
I remember when i first saw this graffiti i was kinda excited.I am a vampire who lost everything and i was lucky enough to find some vampires who would show me world i can live,and that isn't that bad at all.Now when i see it all i can think off is that it means death.Cold,hard math.
I knocked at the doors and a small window opened.There was Jimmy's small,bald head filled with peircings.''Hallelujah!''Window closed and i heard clicking.Doors swing open to discover an underground club.This place looks like a cave with all the setups of a disco club.There were hundreds of people dancing in the middle of the cave to the goth music,and on the side where i expect to find Mike are the tables and chairs with a little passage in the stone thatt leads upstairs.There its like a little hive.Bunch of small balkonies with beds.Now he is usually on the left side,top bed.I lookt upthere and saw three figures sitting on his usuall spot.Time for a meal.
''Hey big boy!''We huged each other.
''Honey,last time i saw you was months ago.'' Six months to be precise.
''Yeah well,im here now.Mike called he said he needs me to be his date while he plays with his bag.''
''Yeah,yeah i saw the bags.They look healthy.''Its hard to find healthy these days.I tried.
''They cant be healthy when they do this.''I touched my head to show him where these boys are missing a few.
''Whatever the reason honey,it doesnt matter.What matters is that we and they have fun and no one gets killed in my club.''I lookt away.i always hated bodey bags.They come up here becouse they either feel like their life sucks or they want to be turned.Both ways are stupid.''I know you dont approve,but im shure you will se it one day.''
I gave him a kiss on the cheek and waved away.No way im going to have this discussion with him again.
As i pushed my way trough the crowd i remembered why i loved to come here.its just our club.no humans,no worry,just us bloodsuckers and a couple bags.
''Mike.''He turned around and smiled.As i stept in front of them to meet them i noticed he wasn't joking about his nails.They really glow in dark.
Mike got up and huged me.''They are fabulous.''He is being gay more than he usually is.Empty bottle of jack explains that.''This is Jake.''he pointed at the guy sitting next to him.he is wearing pink pants and a green shirt.I dont even want to look at his hair again.
''Nice to meet you.''I said.
''And this is Jeff.''He interduced the other guy.He looks compleatly different from the first one.
''Jack and Jeff,huh?''I bet they are childhood friends or something.
''Yeah,when we were kids...''I stopt listening.His voice is anojing.DJ is someone new this time.When i used to come we had three DJ-s and thats it.Now they will let anyone in.''And thats how our names brought us together.''He finnaly finnished.
''Thats cool.''Its not cool.
''You guys are so kind to us.I cant wait to be one of you.''he is even bigger retard than i tought.Why do everyone want to be a vampire?Its twilights fault.People now think that we glow on sunlight.Well Mike glows in the dark.He has something in his hair aswell.Now its green and it glows.Goes perfectly with his pink suit.I never asked him if he likes the joker,but i think that question is answered.
''What do you boys think about having a bit more fun?''Their eyes widened as Mike asked that question.Not a moment later they jumped on their feet.Jack,i think thats his name took Mike's hand and started telling him how excited he is.''That means you are ready?''He lookt at me as he asked them.I smiled.Atleast i think i did,this is not amusing.
Jack or something,sat on Mike's lap and leaned his head towards him.He answered by grabing his har and pushing it on the other side.His heartbeat is getting stronger.Not from fer,but from excitment.Jesus Christ!This is ridicilus to watch.
Smell of blood hit me like a car.Sweet smell of young blood.Human blood.Havent tasted that in a long while.His beating slowed down.The enjoyment started.I turned from them and to Jeff that stared at me like kid looks at candy.I pointed at the bed,where he quickly jumped.
''Are you shure?''He nodded.Okay.Me hungry.Me eat.I came next to him,still standing.He leaned his head aside and aloved me to see his vein.Tickles are covering my body,starting from my spine.Fangs already said hello to him.All i have to do is bite.I cant believe im nervous.Why am i nervous?Just two stupid guys who came here for getting bitten.So i will give them that.I pressed my lips on his neck wich made him jump a little.Hunger.Thats all i can think about.Fangs peirced the skin.The sweet sound of them breaking trough the skinn filled my head.Blood started to warm me up.No sound eccept his blood going trough his body exists.I keept on going and going.
Someone said something but i cant hear it over the blood.Jeff started falling so i grabed him and keept on drinking.
''Thats enough.''Mike's voice finnaly reached me.What am i duing.I let go of Jeff and he falls on his bed.Am standing here with the warm blod in my mouth,realising i almost killed him.He got pale and im not shure is he awake.Words cant come out of my mouth.''I know he is sweet,but slow down baby.''He said in a happy voice so that the guys don get scared.But i know what he means.Feeling of being so strong,so warm is overwhelming.One of the reasons why we drink blood is to get warm.We are so cold all the time and the blood makes us warm,strong and we feel unstopable.
''This is better than weed,bro.''Jeff said to Jack.He is awake.Doesnt he realise how close i came to killing him?Music is back in my ears,im aware of things again.Eyes are still on me.Those are Mike's eyes.
''Look at her al dirty.''Smiling him means im in trouble.But i dont care.Idiot is right,this is soo much better that weed.Aldo im having much more fun than he is.''We'll go clean up and get you aomething to drink.''Suddently i was on the move,my knees felt like im not touching the ground at all and yet i feel so firm.We walked out of the other tunnel that leads towards some abandoned houses or something behind the park.He sat me down behind the bar and started to whipe my mouth with his tissue.Also pink.
''Damn.''I took a deep breath.My lungs feel soo much healthier.
''I need you to slow down.You almost killed the boy.J-family wouldent be happy with that.''J familly can kiss my dark parts.''How about we grab some fresh air.After all for a falf-one you shure can drink.''Half one...I hate that word.Well,its better that halfie as he calls me sometimes.
He hands me a ciggarette.As i took a puff i felt something is wrong.Movments all around me.I stand up from the shair near the door and lok around me.
''Im sorry.''I heard him say.As im about to ask him why is he sorry,i hear footsteps behind me.Something is in the shadows.Again footsteps behind me.I turned around to see what is sneeking on me when someone grabs me from the behind.My ciggarette fell on the cold,hard ground.Few second laters so did i.I didnt t sence them coming so they cant be human.I kicked the person standing on top of me with my arm and the person fell to the side.
I used that to start running.Three steps later a hard kick on my chest that threw away my air and stole it for a while.Cold ground didnt help either.Whoever this is they are fast,Now i know its they.There are at least three figures above my head holding me down.Im kicking my legs and i conected.My leg with someones elses.I rolled under the car in the alley and again started to run in the other direction.Two pair of feet are after me.Just hope those ciggarettes didnt kill my condition compleatly.
I jumped and grabbed the fire-escape ladder that are eight feet tall.Being on the roof gives me a nice view of the city.Not a bad place to have party.Or run from whoever is chasing me.They almost reached the top of the building and im already on the other side of the roof getting ready to jump to a next one.Midflight i hear something breathing hard then jumping.Next thing i know we are both falling down on the trash.Not lucky enough to land on the open trash.It just had to be closed.At least i dont smell like fish.
Few seconds after falling and blacking out i see a clearly male figure rising next to me.This guy acctually jumped on me while im juping on the other building.As im getting up i feel headache,really bad one.Upon leaning on the trash bin i touch my head,and as a resoult i see blood.Pain and a panic started to rise in me.Why would this guy jump from a building to catch me?Pain in my left shoulder also accured to be pressent.
''Just dont run anymore,okay?''The guy spoke.He is obviously out of breath.Well he got a free pass after landing on me,so he cant complain.I pushed myself away from the trash bin about to say something or at least try to run.All i did is collapse.He cought me.Well my head at least.
Footsteps are rushing toward us.Then voices.I assume they are the guys from before.Someone tred to pull me up as i screamed.My shoulder feels like its going to break.Not shure did i explain this to them or did i just mumble something,either way one of them picked me up and started carrying me.
''Lara.''Formiliar voice said.Mike was upside down and i had no energy to pull my head up.''Im sorry.''Yeah,you said that before.''They said they will burn the club down if i dont help them.''Great so blood,alcohol and hookers before friends.I hate vampires.
''Enough.''One of them said.I cant hate Mike,but i dont like him either.I know this club is his life.Guy has been a vampire for almost thirty years,and he became one when he was thirty.So,thats a long time to be lost.He even lives in the club i heard.He never showed me his place but i know its somwhere in the basement.Great now i feel sorry for the guy who betrayed me.For two years ive been friends with him and he betrays me for a club.
As we are passing by him i tried to grab his tie but big muscular guy carreing me,stopt me.I saw sadness in his eyes.Sadness he had when his daughter died along with his wife.I want to spit in his face but i cant.
''You are...''I wanted to say pafetic.I want to say what and a-hole he is,but i cant.So i just left him here to wonder what i wanted to say.
The big guy placed me in the back of the jeep.I emideatly layed down.Even after drinking some blood im still powerless against this boy band.Someone grabbed my hand and pulled it up.This time my right shoulder.Click.As i found to see myself hancuffed for some handle in the car that isn't suppose to be there.
''Just in case you decide to do something stupid.''Something stupid?He jumped from the building on me!Blood just kept on going from my head.I wish im not a half one now.That super fast healing of theirs would come in handey.Moon is shinning bright.Half of it cant be seen becouse of the house.There is something on the roof.It looks like some bush.As the car started to move my double-vision started to gove a real shape to that bush.

It is an animal.A dog.It is chubby.
