Okay, this is a shorty story my brother made in his college English class. For those of you who don't know who my brother is, it's Xeon{Myroku}. Yes he's my big brother. I read his story when he got it back after it was graded and he made some changes afterward and I think it's really good. So I asked him if I can put up his story on here and he said it will be all right. So, just give out your own thought about his story and he may put up another chapter to it if he has the time to do so.
After a cold day’s night in the month of October, my life began to change when I met the only person whom I would never be away from. It was dark and cold on an autumn’s night when it happened. I could hear the wind whistling in the trees, the leaves blew and danced amongst the ground as the wind blew by; and I could hear the nightly hoots of owls and the melodic chirps of crickets. I saw a lone man walked down an old brick road through the park on this dark night. And up in the trees was I, watching over the man with hunger in my red eyes and my fangs glistened in the moonlight.
“He’ll have to do.” I said in a low tone so the man wouldn’t suspect I was up in the tree.
“Pfft, as if I believe those urban tales that scare little kids,” the man said as he walked down the brick road. “There’s never been any proof that something is lurking out here. No evidence at all except dead bodies that looked like they were killed by some mugger perhaps.”
The man continued to walk down the old brick road as he heard the owls hooting in the night; the crickets chirping to their nightly tune and the wind howling in the night. As he continued to walk in the dark night he heard the crunching of leaves behind him. He just chuckled and thought it was a passing squirrel or some other animals just walking along. But the crunching of the leaves grew louder and they sounded like they were making its way to him and I could hear it too in the trees. I thought it was a lone animal but it sounded like a person was stalking him, could it have been a mugger or some thug? The man turned around to the see the darkness behind him and nothing else.
“H-hello?! Is anyone there?” the man called out in the night. There was no reply, only the crickets chirped back to him. The man turned away and ignored what he heard and continued to walk down the way.
“There’s nothing there. There’s nothing there. Just stay calm.” The man said as he tried to calm himself. As he walked down the road again he heard the leaves crunching again and he heard heavy breathing of some animal behind him. He turned back to see what it was but still nothing. Then he heard rustling in the trees I made. I thought I gave myself away but instead he was only paying attention to what was after him on the ground below.
The man started to run down the road while he breathed heavily from every step he took and he heard the leaves crunch under his feet. I tried catching up to him in the trees to see where the man was going and also I was wondering who else besides myself, was after this man. I could see fear in his eyes as he continued to look back behind him as he ran down the road. I could tell he couldn’t see a thing but he could still hear the rustling I made in the trees and then the crunching and snapping of leaves and twigs that was made behind him on the dirt road.
“This isn’t happening! This isn’t happening!” the man shouted in a frightful low tone. As he turned his head to the front he didn’t see the tree that he was running into. The man came to a halt before he made with impact to the tree. The breathing was getting heavier and he could hear footsteps coming close to him.
The man cowered next to the tree and shielded his face with his arms. As he heard the footsteps stop, he looked up to see a young teenage girl standing before him. She had bright red hair, green eyes and was dressed in a black and red skirt outfit which was unusual for someone to wear at this time of night. The man sighed in relief and chuckled as he saw the girl.
“Oh, it’s just a girl. For a second I thought it was that beast I’ve heard talk about.” The man said as he got up. “So what are you doing out at this time of night young lady? Are you lost? And aren’t you cold wearing that outfit?” The man asked her. The girl only looked at him and gave a smile to him and giggled.
“Huh? Um, what’s so funny?” the man said to her. The girl giggled still and when she turned to the man her eyes were bright crimson red and a pair fangs appear from her mouth. The man backed away from the girl from the sight of her and he backed into the tree he cowered at from earlier.
“Wh-what are you?!” The man said in a frightful tone. The girl came up to him and smiled.
“Me? I’m just a little vampire.” The girl smiled with her fangs reflecting the moon light. Up in the tree I could hear the man screaming very loudly in the night and the screams began to fade.
When I came to the scene I saw the man I was stalking out cold and on the ground while the girl stood over him with blood dripping down her face. She wiped the blood from her face and giggled at the man she drank from.
“Well that had to be the easiest hunt this night.” The girl said. She walked away from the man and walked down the brick road. She hummed pleasantly in the night and continued to walk down the road, but unknown to her that someone was watching her in the trees above her. As I saw what had happened before me in the tree above, my eyes were burning with rage now instead of hunger.
“That girl took my meal.” I said gritting my fangs together. As the girl walked along she heard something behind her. She turned to see what it was but then she was grabbed and pinned to the ground. She yelped and screamed as she was taking by surprised.
She looked to see her attacker and she saw me on top of her with my hands pinning her to the ground. I was the same age as her and I had dark brown hair that almost seemed black, my eyes were a bright crimson red filled with rage, fangs were seen from my mouth and I was dress in casual way teen boys are dressed this day with black hooded zip up sweater, a pair of blue jeans and a plain white T-shirt. I glared and bared my fangs at the other female vampire.
“That was my kill you little twerp!” I shouted to her. “I was stalking that guy from the start!” The girl struggled in the male vampire’s grasp and only glared at him.
“I didn’t see your name on him! So it doesn’t matter who got him first.” The female vampire said back to him.
“So get off of me!” the girl said and kicked me off of her. I stood up and glared at the girl. She quickly got up and brushed herself off and looked back at me with an angry look.
“God, if you’re so hungry then why don’t you just go bite some other fool in the park.” She said to me. I looked away from her and didn’t reply back for a bit.
“I would if I could if anyone was foolish enough to come through this way at this time of night.” I said grumpily. The girl shook her head and looked back at the man she attacked that was supposed to be my meal.
“Look I’m sorry, okay. Besides, I didn’t know there was another vampire around in this town. I thought I was the only vampire here.” She said to me. I looked back at her and looked away,
“Well, I thought the same thing.” I said to her. “My names Seth, it’s nice to meet you um?” I said introducing myself to her. She looked back and shook my hand.
“My name’s Manda. And it’s nice to meet you too Seth.” She looked at me and dropped my hand. “Sorry, I’m not the kind of person to make friends.” I looked at her and chuckled.
“Well okay then.” I looked back at the man and sighed. “Great, now what I am I gonna eat then? I’m starving over here and I haven’t had any blood for a week now.” Manda looked at me and she bared her neck.
“Well if you’re hungry I guess I can supply some blood to you.” She said.
I looked at her with a confused look on my face, “You sure you want to do this?” I asked her. She nodded and her face was a bit red.
“Mmhm, it’s okay really.” I walked over to her and when I came to her neck I could smell the fragrance in her hair and it smelt like fresh fruit to me. After I sank my fangs into her neck, she winced a bit and I continued to drink blood from her neck. I could taste her blood pouring down my throat and her blood tasted sweet and very delicious. I have never tasted blood like hers before and I enjoyed the taste of it.
After I finished I drew back my fangs and I looked at Manda and she looked back at me. We both stood there like that, not speaking, not moving, we just stared at one another. I finally broke the silenced and walked back away from her.
“Um, thank you for the blood Manda.” I said with my face a bit red. She turned away from me and covered the bite wounds from her neck.
“It was nothing.” She said back to me. I looked back at her and I wiped some of the blood from my face off.
“Well I guess I’ll see you around then.” I said to her. She looked back at me and smiled.
“Yeah, I’ll see you around too.” After that night, I felt something that I haven’t before. A warm feeling in my chest and I felt a rapid beat in my chest as well. I didn’t know what that was that I felt in my chest but somehow I think Manda was the one who caused it. I didn’t blame her for that, because it felt nice and good. Instead I thank her for giving me that feeling within me. I don’t know why but for some reason I hope I get to see Manda again really soon in my next nightly hunt.
