It's a sunny day. I hate sunny days and today even more. I'm not in the mood. Lately, everything annoys me and it's strange because I am not used to having any emotions. My routine is to hunt and to survive. In the shadows, I am always keeping myself undercover. But it's harder to adapt to the crowd of people when the sun forces me to clear my pale skin for all eyes. My skin looks much paler on a sunny day.
I put my black glasses on my eyes and from distance watching my new victim. After a week I will be hungry again if I will not feed myself, madness will rule my body and I will turn into a zombie. It's the end of my consciousness. The only thing is left for me. I have a week. I must prepare my victim for his death, even if his blood is not very welcome to me. his blood is dirty, drugs and alcohol destroyed the smell and taste of it. Why he? Why not something purer, more tasteful for my tongue? But still, I chose him for some reason I can't describe.
The black windows of my car are hiding me. This car isn't fancy or new but it isn't making any unwanted attention.
He laughs...He is talking with other hooligans about selling more drugs in new territories. They are relaxed, laughing at their jokes which only for them are funny. They are not very smart and also young, which is a good thing in my case. It should be easy to hide all my killing evidence as well as will be boring to hunt him. Plans of how he will disappear go to my mind one after another.
But I tensed after a moment, my blood froze I stopped breathing. Panic went to my body with shock.
-"What are you doing here? Are you crazy!" I squeezed the weel which immediately broke. Lily passed by my car. She went to those five men. I didn't know when I will lose my mind and I didn't need to starve, she already is making me act stupidly. What she is doing? From where she appeared? How I managed to not notice her presence. What the fuck she is doing here. She looked angry. And thinking that for the moment I thought, that those boys were stupid. The most stupid human on this planet is this woman. Doesn't she realize how fragile she is? What they will do to her? She is wearing jeans with a white t-shirt. How many seconds do they need to take off all her clothes? Does she want to be killed? My blood was boiling.
-"I know what you did!" She screamed to them with red eyes. Her heart was beating so loudly. Those men stopped laughing and turned to her with surprised eyes. Then they looked from toe to her head with their perverted eyes. The smile appeared to a man who was wearing Nike sports clothes, his one leg was on huge stone and he leaned more to her side.
- "Baby you will certainly see what can I do...Come here tell me what we did? He with one of his fingers showed to come closer and she did what he said. My fangs appeared and my eyes changed into black. I don't know who I want to kill ...her from what she is doing or those men from what they want to do to her. She tightens in her hand the pepper gas. Is she joking with me?
- "What are you doing Lilly?" I hissed with anger, still waiting in my car.
-"Give me back the bag". She ordered them with a serious voice but her fear made it uncertain. I smelled her sweat from fear. Her face was pale and her trying to be brave was unsuccessful, she was shaking from fear. And they were excited from it, they too could sense that. My poisons began to water my mouth I wanted to hunt but not from hungry, I wanted to hunt because of anger.
About what bag she is talking. Only then I noticed that the blond guy was holding a bag. He had put it on the ground. I concentrated on the bag and could hear noises, weak noises of heart beating, some were mewing. One man laughed and went around her.
-"I saw what you did to that cat, how could you be so brutal?" Her eyes were full of anger and disgust, her heart was beating so loud that I thought It will explode. Her all muscles were tensed. By her leg, she secretly kept and squeezed her gas. If it would save her.
"I came for babies, and if you will give me them with the peace I won't call the police." They stopped laughing and tensed when they heard the word police, but soon in their face appeared disgusting smiles. My voice in my head began to tell me the rules 1. To never show yourself for a human. never. 2. Never put a finger at other people's business. 3.Drink, don't leave evidence.If I kill them all, many people will miss them they will begin to search for them. How many eyes are watching them? I scanned the field with my vampire's vision, at the other side of the little pond is an old man who is feeding ducks. There is a little bridge some couples stopped walking on it when they saw a group of dangerous people who surrounded Lilly. Even they know how stupid is to go into danger. As they saw Lilly helpless they just pretended that they didn't see anything, a couple turned around and changed the way. Fuck Lilliana why are doing this? I don't understand her actions, she senses that she is in a dangerous why she doesn't listen to her senses? Why she act so stupidly?
- "And what you saw little bird?" The first black-skin men asked her, he had some tattoos on his arms. A blond man with a huge smile on his face with Nike clothes took a bag and went on an old bridge, which was made of wood. He has lifted up a bag against the water. Lilly ran to him but a bold man took her hand and stopped her, she lifted her gas and pushed the liquid to his eyes. The man screamed in agony, he moved away from her with his hands on his eyes, with not very nice words from his mouth. Quickly she was grabbed by another man, he slapped her to her cheek. She felt at the same time as the blond guy dropped the bag into the water.
-"Ups, look what you made me do" he raised both hands in the air of pretending that it wasn't his fault.
-"No!" She screamed. Her wide full of tears. Focused only on water, her cheek was red from the hitting.
- "Oh this chick is a badass isn't she, I didn't notice she had a gas what else do you ha..?" He joked to his friends but didn't finish the words, he never spoke again I grabbed him by his throat, put my fingers to his tongue, and took it out from his mouth. His eye was wide he began to choke from his own blood I ran with my speed to the blond one and forced my fingers to his eyes his heart stopped. To others, I quickly twisted off their head. They hadn't time to scream, the one who had hit Lilly fell on his ground from fear. The clock of his life was over and he knew it. I slowly was walking to him I enjoyed his fear, his pain. He wetted his pants. The smell of his urine made me angrier. But I stopped when heard that Lilly ran by the water and jumped to it. I will lock that girl in a madhouse!!! I turned from my victim and ran after Lilly, she was searching for the bag but couldn't see it, the water wasn't clean. I pushed her to myself but she kicked, I didn't care that she resisted being saved. I pushed her up and she breathed hungrily the ear.
"-Are you crazy what's wrong with you?!" I shouted to her. I never felt so angry in a long time. I felt furry, not anger. Felt the fear, but not for my existence, this fear was bigger, more hurtful.
-"A bag!" She screams in panic. I looked at her, at those beautiful big eyes full of hurt and tears. Her face was pale, and she breathed heavily. She waited for me with the hope her heart was beating so loudly, she didn't afraid of me, she wasn't surprised but those big sad eyes were looking at me with hope. I left her and plunged again to water. I used my speed took the bag with one hand with another I took her by her waist and dropped them on ashore. She quickly moved to the trash bag by her knees and tarred up it. Kittens were dead.
-"No, no, no..." She cried with her lovered head. Her nails pierced into the ground from her anger and hurt at the same time. I couldn't understand her. Why she would risk her life for this? I tried to understand but couldn't. I was standing above her and looking at how she cried for those five kittens. I looked at their bodies and heard it. Its heart was still beating very slowly but he still was alive.
-"This one." I said calmly and showed with my one finger to the black kitten. She raised her head to me. Her questioned eyes were wide focused on me.
-"What ?"She whispered to me.
-" The black cat, it's still alive." I said easily, not knowing why I said this to her. What purpose of saying, if still it will be dead too, but something told me to say that. Maybe she would feel better for some reason of knowing that. But I couldn't imagine that she will put her lips by the kitten's mouth will open it with her fingers and begin to blow the air. The more I looked at her the more shocked I was. She repeated her movements then with one finger she carefully pushed its stomach then again breathed the air to its mouth.
-"Common little one, common..." Her eyes were full of fire. The water was dropping from her fragile body, she was shaking from cold and her lips were blue but she kept doing this until some water came out from his mouth. Then she smiled at me with that heartwarming smile her teeth white as snow her hair was a mess and they were wet all over her face, but she looked so beautiful. And I began to breathe again. almost an hour I didn't notice that.
-" He made it. He is alive" Her voice was sweet full of joy. She watched me carefully her heartbeat slowed, then she took a kitty to her arms and looked at other kittens. The sadness and pain crossed her face again. Why she is calling it- he... it's only a cat, and still, she left somewhere her daughter and risked her life for cats. She is so dumb and still, I can't understand her feelings or her thoughts. she should afraid for her life its most precious thing: a life, not animals, but her life.
-"We should bury them?" Her eyes still only at those kittens. I looked around: four deadmen on the ground near her and she still is thinking about kitten's bodies. Fuck I forgot that I killed all of them and there are laying their bodies, which didn't bother her at all.
Wait, did I just forgot that I didn't kill a man who saw me? And to whom tongue was on the ground, near my shoe?
He ran away while I tried to save cats! Well done Jack just well done...I brushed with my hand through my black hair and scanned again the field, there isn't any quick heart beating, so nobody saw us, my vision didn't scan any cameras. Quickly I put all bodies in my white old van. Lilli went a little bit farther and began to dig a grave for kittens. She didn't care at all about human bodies which were strange things to me. Did people change a lot from my time?Sometimes I looked at how they act. They became more like us: the dead ones, they didn't care about each other all they care what life was on their phones. They are passing easily in not helping others as that couple made their way from Lilly. They knew Lilly was in trouble and they pretended that they didn't see anything, more important was their phone, they felt somehow more comfortable looking at it than seeing in their own eyes what is happening in the real world. And like everybody else they knew that involving in this
"-Do you know him?" I asked Lilly if I would be her old friend and not a stranger. But she just shook her head from one side to another showing me the answer no. Still looking with her worried eyes to the side where that old man was going."- Do you?" She asked me the same. But I couldn't answer her, some words were kept in my mouth, her light green eyes mesmerized me. It was like a green diamond. Her little nose with those freckles and full lips took my attention away, now her hair looks a little bit red when the sun was slowly moving down. But not all only some of it.When I didn't answer her she finally looked at me. Her eyes locked with mine. She curiously looked at my long black hair which easily was laying on my shoulders. Her pupils traveled to my neck, she noticed my necklace and kept her eyes there for a moment, then she looked at my chest and her cheeks became brightly red.-"We need to go I need to get rid of the bodies." I said calmly and couldn't help
After 16 years: -" Common, up..up...higher Magie! higher! more! The coach was screaming at me and her face was red from anger as some beets. She is the death of me. She is small and fat and her mouth bigger than her all body. But she knows how to do her job, just sometimes it looks that she hates me more than others. The sweat was dripping from my forehead and my legs were hurting after 8hours of training. I try to raise my leg as far as I can, then I jump in the air and spin around myself but I stumble from my other foot. -"Argh" Anger and tears showed in my eyes when I had landed on my butt. -"What was that?! are you crying like a baby? Maggie, I have five-year-old girls who can do a better jump than you, pull yourself together! You are so pathetic," she says angrily and then laughs. It makes my blood boil quickly I stand up and with my raised head I continue my solo again m face is cold without any emotion. " Look your nec
Maggie:-" Yes, I remember that you looked into it for a long time" He scanned my face if he would looking for something in my soul, his warm eyes began to be more serious, more suspicious. I wanted a tattoo so damn but I was embarrassed to say that my father would die in shock if he would be mortal. He likes to call me a lady. I don't even know what this word exactly means. But I think Jack's ladies don't have a tattoo or other shit I want."When you were there with your friends." He continued. Manny stood up from his chair with his cup and went by the table where his papers with pictures of a tattoo were laying. Those I had been thrown up everywhere on the floor, but now they are all collected. He gave one to me. I took it looking into his eyes. I don't know why but his gaze began to make me feel nervous. "Then you said that tattoos aren't your thing" He paused for a moment, when he realized that he was rudely staring at me he took his latte into his hands and he sip
Maggie:I stood up so quickly from the desk as if the lightning had hit me.-"Are you done Manny I really need to go" was so nervous the one thing I could hear was tik tok tik tok. Time was over and I broke a rule and I am thinking now what Jack will say or do. I took my sweater with my shaking hands in not waiting for his answer. I was panicking and didn't know what to do now. When he came from his journey? Does he have eyes on my butt? shit, this is soooo bad. I even not dressed properly and he doesn't like when I'm wearing makeup I can't even imagine what he is thinking when he saw me half-naked by Manny.- "What's so rush Maggie who is burning?" Manny looked confused but then he sniffed the air and his all body tensed. Slowly he turned around from me and looked through a window where was standing Jack. Manny suddenly changed so much that I couldn't help and stare at him. His grey t-shirts almost tore off when his muscles grew stronger, espe

I couldn't believe what Jack did to Rose. He washed her brains. Did he ever had done that with me too? He could manipulate me whenever he wants and I wouldn't know that... It was so easy to do to him this.-"What is wrong with you today?" Jack came to the house after me, he closed the doors with annoyance. -"What is wrong to me, what is wrong to you?" I asked with a surprised look and my voice with a little bit too loud.-"You don't seem very happy to see me around". Jack crossed his arms on his chest his black eyes were gone, now there were dark blue eyes. He looked almost like a human. In his eyes, I could see hurt. What does he expect? How I should react when he is acting in that way. I didn't know what to say to him so there was left only silence for some seconds.-" You almost are never at home, do you think that all my life I will be waiting for you and crying in a hugging with Hope?" Hope is our cat he is very old but also he is my best friend. I don't re
-" You have sold me."It was the last words I could say to him. -"No I gave you him for free." He said easily but his words were now difficult to understand.I felt as my all hairs on the body stood up in one moment. My eyes became blurry suddenly I felt dizzy and couldn't hear what he is saying to me anymore, but then something changed. Quickly my vision became better, better than ever, my hearing became louder. My mind was working as clear as I remember, I knew that I can control my mind, I felt huge power on me. It made me feel good, strong, powerful. Jack was still talking, he was breathing to my face with his words. It was a knife to me but I understood everything, should it work in that way? soon I should forget everything? But I don't feel in that way as Rosemary was. I feel too good, did she feel the same? I am standing here still keeping his gaze, and feeling the connection to our minds, that power which he is sending through me, but it doesn't scare me anymore, i
- I was almost naked, only with his jacket, he even said, I have to take off my bra because he could smell Sus on me. Firstly I hesitated, but after some seconds of his annoying gaze, I did what he said. He was acting like Jack. As a vampire, but I was so sure he wasn't one of them. I was sure he wasn't normal as well too, he was strange and more than that... But I couldn't understand his secrets, who he was, or from where he came. And from where he knows everything... for example how he knows so well how to hide from a vampire... he is acting like a not normal person like he would be crazy, and he looks like a crazy person, well I have to add, smartly scary crazy person. doesn't care what others might think about him. Only a fool could say to him that he looks a little bit stupid but I don't think anybody would have so much courage and say this directly into his eyes.He managed to keep himself calm but still serious, sometimes he looked through the mirror at me bu
Maggy's point of view: -"Where we are going?" I asked with a voice full of worries and anxiety. was it a good idea to go with him? He didn't answer me...His eyes are all the time on the road, sometimes an old man looks at me from the mirror. His gaze travels to me more and more often. I began to feel somehow unsafe. With this feeling, my hands tried to hug me and cover my body from his eyes. Sus's dress doesn't help me at all. It shows my body more than I wish... That confidence which I had when I went to the club is far away what I feel now. What if he is some of old creeper or raper or even worse...one of a psychopath. His look is strange... Nobody is wearing that cap on nowadays, well not in his age...at least not in a city, well maybe in a village, in Texas... Hmm, how psychopath looks? I heard that they look like normal people, maybe one of those quiet persons... You know, those men with glasses and a kind smile, who are slim, and not physically st
Maria's point of view:-"I can't believe she did that. It is officially, Maggie went crazy." I watched her back, she even didn't turn around, not for a glance, she just left so easily. Her friends don't matter to her at all. I am not surprised, she is selfish, all the time was in that way.She was hiding a vampire and we still suggested our help... Especially YoYo. And what she did? she ran away like a coward. She could have stayed, I would have convinced grandma to let her stay, and it seems... after Baba heard Maggie's mother's name, her attitude changed so quickly. Baba knew Maggies's mother. It is so clear. I'm so curious about their prehistory. But it is not time for tales...I looked at YoYo, he was all frozen, angry, with so many emotions mixed in his face. His hand brushed his black hair like he was tired or unhappy because Maggie never listens to him. Sometimes I think this is the reason why he is so in love with her. But when I arguing with him h
After 16 years: Maggie's point of view: -"We don't have time for this, he is fast I already can sense him. We must go, now." Stranger's voice sounded authorial but also with a fear... does he afraid of Jack? Of course, he does. Who wouldn't? Even if he sounds worried and still his voice sends chills down my skin. I looked at an old man, he went off from his shadows through YoYo and stopped near me with Baba. finally, I could see his face. His eyes were directed to me if nobody would exist anymore, not even time or people, just me and an old man. He had a beard of two weeks and grey hair, he looked like 60 years old and still he was very handsome. He wasn't tall or very muscular, but his body looked strong, even if it was hidden by a suit, I still felt, he wasn't weak. -"You better go home, old man." YoYo threatened, he took from his sleeve a knife, it was long, almost like a sword. How the hell he carried it all the time there? And why he carries a knif
After 16 years: Maggie's point of view: -"What? this is....it...it is nothing like that." I was struggling with my words and thoughts, he has that power... to shut me up. My cheeks began to burn. YoYo is talking like a jealous boyfriend, what is wrong with him he began to act so weirdly lately. Sus is his sister, not me." and about what werewolf are you talking this isn't funny YoYo, it is no time to make fun of me." I felt irritated. I know that my world can look funny for him but it is not my fault I grew with a vampire. It is not a joke for me. Yoyo came nearer me his hands touched my cheek. His dark eyes tried to read my mind even without vampires abilities. He is good at reading people's soles and thoughts. -"That man... He sighed." A blond, arrogant, smartass punk," he began and I raised my one eyebrow. Yes, Manny, he left not a very good first impression, but why he is talking about him now? he isn't involved all in this mess? he is just angry be
- " Long, long time ago, when there weren't cars, phones or electricity, in the world there was a land and it was a very dark place to live." Sniff, sniff, she breathed her watering nose. Lilliana brushed her tears with her elbow and at the exact moment, her tears were imbibed by her sweater. She smiled at Maggie in pretending that she isn't sad at all. Was she sad because of me? I lowered my body under her balcony I had to hear her voice. For almost three weeks I didn't see her. It is harder than I thought: to keep my distance away from her. Her skin was so pale. She had circles under her eyes I think she lost some weight too. And still, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. But if I have to keep my distance in saving her life I will do it, no matter what pain it costs for me. " There wasn't much food, winters were cold and long, summers were hot and dry. There were more hungry mouths than the land could feed them. Do you know why the world became so dark
This was difficult. I didn't like this new feeling, again. The feeling of heavily. I took one more step away from my Lilliana. One step away from worth to be hers. I watched Vince's face, he was so serious. He didn't know where we were going and what he must do for me. But he definitely suspected that this job won't be clean. I'm curious how strong he hates me? Now he is addicted because of my poison. I noticed how he pressed a wheel in trying not to show me how bad were shaking his hands. I can feel how his soul is calling me. He wants my poisons but he is strong and still doesn't beg me to bite him. I'm curious how strong he can keep... But he will never be as before and he knows that even if he can't understand the power which is keeping to listen to me, to serve me. His all life changed, he hasn't his life anymore. It belongs to me. He can't talk, he hasn't a tongue. And of course, it is also my fault. I never thought that I will
Before 16 yearsJack point of view:Bang! Vince's doors almost broke when I closed them angrily behind my back. I was breathing hard as if I had a marathon, but I wasn't tired. I was furry. How she can act so calm when she sees a death standing by her side. How could I think that I can save her when I am the most dangerous thing for her. How I could think that she can save me.Vince's eyes grew wide when he saw my dark face covered with blood. I took off my black hoody and showed myself to him.- " I need you" Vince, I breathed heavily the words with a husky tone. But I didn't say his name loudly. It sounded more in my head than from my mouth. And I didn't like the way I heard my voice in my mind... Like asking for help, and not as an order.My voice calmed him from the view of my dirty clothes and face. The master's orders are more important than his confusion or his fear of what is happening. Of what happened to me and what is waiting
Jak's point of view:Before 16 years ago:I don't have any doubts that she would do anything to protect Maggie. Lilliana's eyes are full of fire, full of life and confidence. And still, if she would say his name it would be easier to find him and kill him but she doesn't talk about him and blames me for not talking.-"You were saying that you felt different from others. I can't understand. You are human. " She doesn't know what curse of mine made me change into "different" not only physically but also and mentally, I lost all my feelings, I lost almost all memories of how to feel. She sat on her sofa again and put her legs on it too in making her feel more comfortable. I watched all her moves and her dress made to see me more than I should. She has beautiful legs and my demons began to play with my venom. I turned my face in another direction.-"You wouldn't understand." I looked at her, these words irritated me but I must be patient she is just a h
