Red Blood Sky

Part 4: Athan

Athan has been coming back and forth to Beaverton, traveling to different places but still finding himself back at where everything began for him. 

Athan has become what his mother would read to him and his sister. He was alone in this predicament.  He was the blood soul sucker that everyone feared.

It all happened in 1870, when he finally woke up from the nightmares he endured. But it wasn't really nightmares it was him experiencing the changes he was forced to have.

The changes that turned him into a violent demon like creature, he didn't know what to call himself until he learned the proper name "Vampire". 

He hated how he would be so violent, every time his changes would occur. Triggered by anger, sadness, stress, or even the smell of one drop of blood would activate it. But could he change it? That's who he was.

On the upside he loved being fast, strong, hearing stuff from far away, and being smart.

He had weaknesses though, he hated the taste of garlic,  if he had one taste of it it would melt his insides like wax. Until he either threw it up, or endure it until he can pass it through and heal.
Red clover he heard in his mother book, would be dangerous to him. It'd burn right through his flesh if he touched or ate it.

Athan had a diet when it came to blood, he wouldn't drink from children. Sometimes he wouldn't drink from women if he can control the thirst. Men he could care less about especially the douchebags, he could care less if he tore them limb by limb. It's what he would drink, better then destroying the whole human race. He'd also drink from deers if he was feeling generous.

As Athan would be back in Beaverton for a while, he decided to go back to school for the third time. He had a fun time the first two times.

He wasn't lying when he said he was staying with a cousin, it wasn't exactly his cousin but in a vampire term it was his cousin, Alissa was just like him but 111 years older then him. She saw how much of a sufferer he was when he first started out.

just like Athan would do as a "normal" 17 year old he'd look around for parties before he started school, and like usual he did. And the party he overheard at the bowling alley with the little restaurant in it, that every teen would go to hang. He ended up at jacks party, where he met Rosemary the girl he's so interested in.

It wasn't just the way she looks, it was how her scent would be noticeable more, the way her blood flow would pump.

He knew she was healthy, was it bad of him to think about sinking his fangs into her almond skin. How He'd think about having her tremble feel weak against him as he drained the blood out of her.
But also he didn't want to do that, he wanted to keep her safe around him. Sneak some blood from her a few times and make her forget and just be her friend.

But just watching her she decided to come up to him,  that was his moment to choose. Whether to drain her blood, or just be her friend.  He'd pick both, he would become her friend and once the time comes he would drain her body of blood.

He wasn't human, so he could care less of thinking human. That wasn't who he was, he could break his diet rule just once since he met Rosemary.

But that choice just didn't stick right with him, because of how interesting she was. The way her beauty would shine throughout the whole party.

This was him having human thoughts, and he didn't know whether like it or hate it.
