AMARIS POV
I'm surprised Marko hasn't found out about my visits with Sam. Unless he's hiding things from me again, who knows. The reason I'm trying to stick by Sam, is because Sam was the first person I met here in Santa Carla and made it home to me. He was my very first friend. Of course though, I had to become a vampire, while that was the most hated creature to him and his other friends.

Marko and I had given each other quite a lot of space lately. Throughout the day, or night to most people, I sat around reading while the boys and, sometimes Star, would go to the boardwalk or go hunting. They haven't even took me hunting yet, but I heard they tried with Michael.

"Hello lady love." I heard a gleaming Marko, push my curtains open. I didn't turn away from my book, but I managed a muttered 'hey.' "Come on Maris, you never do anything with us any more." He sat on the edge of the bed. "God, I stayed here with you, I didn't get you killed by my vampire hunter friends, I didn't die, and I'm still staying here, because of you. What else do you want to ruin?" I snapped at him and practically slammed my book on the ground. He almost looked terrified of me. "I- I'm leaving." I always regretted what I said, but I managed to turn away from him and run out of the cave. I didn't even hear anyone call for me.

Even for a vampire, I still wasn't a runner. I found myself on the beachside where I was buried. I should've never came out of that ground. Things would be better, things would've ended.

I sat there on the sand, almost waiting for something that would never happen. Not even in a story. I was waiting for either my friend Sam to hug me or my love Marko to save me. But now, all I wanted was to die. The people that I've killed to survive had gotten to me really quickly. Eating me alive, like I did to them. The boys seemed to have gotten used to it by now, but I don't think I ever will.

"I don't know what to do." I found myself at the comic book store talking to Edgar and Alan Frog. We've been talking about the boys for hours and Edgar has surprisingly had not threatened to stake me. "You just gotta kill 'em." Alan suggested, leaning against the counter. "Christ, does everything solve your problems by killing?" I was completely exhausted with them already. "Well, basically." Edgar muttered. "Have you even met a vampire? Have you even killed one?" I asked with an angry tone. I stepped closer and they stepped back. "Talking to one right now." Alan said, trying to regain himself. "How did you know?" I was terrifyingly confused. "Dude, it's pretty obvious, you smell like death." Edgar grunted, looking more pissed about my existence than ever. "Michael, Ill talk to Michael." I completely ignored what had just happened and went off into a different conversation "What would he know?" Edgar asked, getting more curious than I hoped. "He just hangs out with them a lot more and I stay in the cave." I explained. "Are you with that one guy..?" Alan asked. "Marko? Maybe, yes, sort of? Nah, I don't know. Shut up." I snapped at them as they giggled slightly at my confusion. "So why haven't you tried to kill me yet?" I asked in the sweetest voice possible. "Ill stake you when you try to bite me." Edgar and Alan said in unison. Jesus Christ, I hate it when they do that. "I thought you just kill and move on?" I asked again. They both grunted in reply, like they didn't even want to answer. I huffed at both of them in anger and stomped out back onto the boardwalk.

I was already halfway back to the cave. I would've normally heard the boys from far away as I saw the cave in the distance. The moon shined perfectly on it.

I climbed over the rocks and made my way into the entrance. Candle light were still burning but, silence fell and it kept on falling. "Hello?" I was still scared that they were gonna pop out of no where. But I didn't hear anything. This was strange. It was never this quiet.
