*Soleil*
I am in a bad mood the next evening when I am riding my bike home to Davina. Actually I don't feel like going, but I won't let my mother win.
There had been hell when I had announced that I wanted to go out with Davina again. I had to promise my mother that I wasn't about to dance naked in a field with hippies or start worshipping the devil, before she caved in and let me go.
"But you are coming home to sleep this time". She called after me, and pissed me even more off. I am turning eighteen in no time, but I have to come home and sleep.
On the way I even contemplate bringing home some goth guy. Someone like Mark, with piercings and spiked hair, just to see how my mom would react. She would probably either throw me out or bar my windows till I was 30. The thought of how my mom's face would look makes me giggle and I am almost
*Soleil*When we enter the club, the atmosphere is exactly like I remember from the first time. I notice how the dominating black colour makes the few colours much more dramatic. The contrast of colours in the girls dresses, stripes in the hair, the lining in jackets. The lipstick, mostly on girls but also on some boys, makes a fantastic change when the eyes are tired of black.It is like being in a film noir time machine, where the grand dresses of the romance, fetish leather, burlesque lace and punky piercings have all come together in one mixing machine and had been spit out here. There is no judgement here, everyone talks to and accepts everyone else, together in being outcasts from the normal world. Well except for the royals upstairs. There is still an elite in this subculture and the border is harshly drawn at the stairs.I notice how people cast longing glances at
*Soleil*I walk up the stairs to the lounge. I hesitate for a moment when I see that Mark is talking to a stunning woman. But he sees me and waves me over. He looks a bit floored. "This is Celine"."Hi". I say, sending her a friendly smile. She answers without looking at me. She has deep red lips and long silver blonde hair with a stripe the same colour as her lipstick. Her dress is long and sleeves black leather, with a slit in one side all the way up to her hip. Her makeup is dramatic and her eyes almost see through with a dark circle around them.Then she turns to look at me, her eyes taking in every inch of me, then she smiles, showing off perfectly white fangs. "You are new here"."Yeah, it's only the second time I am here". I answer. I would have sworn the woman just smelled me."So how do you
*The vampire*From where I stand I have a perfect view over the club and I instantly notice the shy young girl and her beautiful friend when they enter. There is something different about her this time. She walks with more confidence, her movements are more relaxed and her gaze more open. Even at this distance I can distingues her scent from the others and it has gotten a bit of a sour note this evening. Someone has gotten her hormones going and it isn't me. I don't like other people touching my toys. Annoyed, I look over the horde of cattle to see if I can spot the reason for her changed behavior.A lot of the boys are checking her out. A couple even dare talk to her, but it is hard to read the signals in the dim light and with the loud music. I need to find a way to get closer to her.
*Soleil*I sit in class, staring at the empty chair in front of me to the side. Luca hasn’t shown up to class and I have started to worry. I check my phone again, still not a word, actually I haven't heard from him since friday, where he ran off after the wonderful kisses and I am scared I did something wrong.Saturday before I went to Davina I sent him a text and again yesterday, but no answer. I don’t want to seem pushy, so I haven't written again.'Do you think he regrets and has moved to another School ?' I write on a piece of paper and push it towards Davina.'Yeah sure makes total sense to change school a week before exams start'. Davina writes back.'But what happened then ? He hasn't answered a single one of my messages'. I scribble down fast. 
*Soleil*It is agony pulling myself to school the rest of the week. Luckily we are so close to exams, that everyone is focused on that. I keep to myself or Davina, so I don't see Luca much. Every time I spot him, I turn and walk the other way. Davina tries to lighten up my spirits to her best ability and I do my best to look okay. I wish I really felt okay or that I just felt something, but the truth is that Luca has left an empty space behind. It had become a habit that he was there and that I at least could dream about me and him together. Now I know it will never happen and it keeps pulling me deeper into a dark hole.Only at night in my dreams I am free. I am happy there. The dreams are always the same; I am in my safe stone circle and dancing in the dusk with the creatures from the wood, I sing with the shadows in the rocks and I play with the light orbs hovering above me. When dusk goes to darkness the
*Soleil*Finally the last exam is over and I actually managed to graduate, saved by English and math, without Luca I would have failed miserably. In more than one way, because I had studied my ass off for the last week trying not to think about him. I hurry out, finally free, no more school and the summer in front of me. I don't have to see.."Sol, hey Soleil wait". I hear someone call behind me.Oh shit, it's Luca ! I panic, trying to pretend that I didn't hear him."Hey wait a minute". Luca and his damn long legs catch up easily. "Hey, come on Sol, wait a moment"."What ?" I stop, looking defiantly at him."Uhm I just wanted to wish you a good holiday and such". He suddenly looks hesitant, like he regrets stopping me. Gone is the confident Luca.
*The vampire* For fucks sake, can't the sun hurry up a bit and get it's ass below the horizon ? I hate summer ! Even having lived for an eternity and time not really mattering to me, I am pacing impatiently, Waiting for time to hurry up. According to the app on my phone there are a couple of minutes left before the rays of the sun will no longer bother me. I empty my whisky with an annoyed sound and head for the door. Life has been a drag for too long. Always the same. The hunt over too soon and as soon as the prey is empty it's back to the same boring nothing. It's not like in the old times, where I still had passion and I felt excited about seducing and freely hunting my next prey. Times have changed and the annoying cattle have gotten a brain. I should have killed the idiot who invented forensic medicine. After that it had gotten much more difficult to hide the ac
*Soleil* It's the fourth time Davina calls me. Honestly I contemplate ignoring this call too. But then I feel bad for ignoring her and pick up. "Hi, Sorry for standing you up". I mumble hoarsely. "Oh shit, you are okay. I thought you had died or something". Davina grunts. "But you are okay right ?" I bite my teeth hard together not to break down crying again. Hearing her voice I really miss Davina. My voice is more of a croak. "Yeah I'm fine". "That tone in your voice.. Sounds like guy trouble". Davina says. "Hmm". Is the only thing I can manage to get out. "I'm on my way sweetie". Is the only thing Davina says as she ends the call, and shortly after she stands in my room. She takes one look at me and I spill out
