Vampire Reign

Chapter 4: Greenleaf

Greenleaf high.

Dave throws the ball and it entered the basket instantly. He laughed as he playfully punch Eric on the shoulder. "You know I don't play basketball, you wouldn't have been able to beat me"

Dave shrugs and picks another ball. "Doesn't change nothing… I'm better than you at everything… period"

"Oh, that's how it is?… Bring it on"

Dave smiles and bounces the ball while walking toward Eric. As he approaches him, he jumps to throw the ball, but Eric also jumps to stop him.

In the process, he uses his shoulder to hit Dave in the chest. Dave falls to the ground, injuring his knee. "Oh my god Dave I'm so sorry, I didn't intend to injure you" Eric pleads.

"Gee… calm down, it's just a minor scratch. It's fine" he tries to stand but stumbles back down as blood drops down his knee. "Ah, Maybe not minor, but I'm fine Eric"

"Stay put… let me get some bandage," Eric say, running to get a bandage.

As Eric walked into the store room, he froze as he caught sight of what he saw. "P-Poppy?… What are you doing?"

The school mean girls, Carol, Alisa, and Poppy turn to him, blood dripping down their fangs. They push the girl they were feeding on to the ground and smile at him. "Eric?… You shouldn't have come here"

He turns to run, but the girls grab and pull him back into the room and shut the door. Poppy bites dip into his neck draining his blood out. He struggles to escape but she hits his head on the wall.

He fell to the ground motionless, blood dripping down his head. "What if he dies?…" Alisa asks.

"Then I'll just feed him my blood and- I don't know. I'm starving right now, so let me feed okay"

Back at the basketball court, Dave sits alone as his injury became worse. "Oh god, I can't feel my leg. Where are you, Eric?"

He sits alone, thinking of different other ways he could have approached the beautiful damsel he previously met when the door pushes open and Tee walks in. As he approaches Dave, he swallows hard, staring at his injury. "You must be Tee, the school's star… Eric has told me much about you"

Without saying a word, he lifts Dave from the ground. "Ouch… What are you doing?"

"We need to get out of here… where do you live?"

Dave's POV

Tee dropped me in front of the house. I stick the key in and leaped into the house.

I turn back to see him still standing outside. "What are you doing? Come in"

He smiled and walked into the room.

Tee helped me down on a couch and treats my wound. "Thank you, Tee… I'm so grateful"

He scoffs. "Well let's hope this never happens again. I'm only doing this one cause I owe Eric"

I get off the couch and leap to the refrigerator. "Need a drink?…"

"Oh nah, I don't drink…"

"I meant just a normal drink," I say.

He nods. "Sure then…"

I hand him a drink. We both sit on the couch learning more about each other. Which was so awkward.

A few moments later, Eric walks into the room. He staggers as he walks to sit next to me. "I hate you…" He says, breathing heavily.
