"So you're sure he.. bit your mom?" One of The police men asks me, looking at me like I'm crazy. "Yes, I'm telling you again. Didn't you see those dots on her neck?" I say loosing patience. He sighs looking trough some files "Cora is it?" I nod. "Her stands you were addicted to drugs in your past, did you maybe take it an-" "NO. It says in my past, it's not anymore!!" I cut him off.
He sighs "okay, that's all we needed to hear, thank you" he says. I stand up wrapping my coat around my body. "I'll show you your way out" the other one says holding my back. We walk trough the station, it smells like blood and weed. Probably from some criminals. I look around at the tables with not so good looking men. They have wounds and tattoos on their faces. They look at me up and down making my pull my coat more around my skinny body.
"Here you go" the police man says helping me outside. "Wait can I call my-" before I can finish he closes the door. Great, now I need to walk all the way home. This is a dangerous town to be alone as a girl at night time. I grab a cigarette out of my pocket and light it.
"Hey there pretty lady" some ugly old man says. I look down and start to walk faster. "Where are you going?" He asks with his croaky voice. I look over my shoulder seeing him follow me. I start to run up the bridge, I hear his heavy footsteps behind me getting closer and closer. I run as fast as I can before hearing a thud and a splash. I look behind me seeing a boy with baggy clothes and dreads. I look down in the water seeing little circles spread at the spot the man probably fell in.
"Are you alright?" The boy asks walking closer to me. He's wearing a head and an oversized t-shirt. I can't see his face cause if the darkness. I take a few steps back "y-yes I'm fine" I say. He comes closer and closer making me more nervous every step he takes. He hovers over me. "Are you sure? You don't seem okay" he says with a deep voice. I can only see his lips, his lip piercing shining I'm the moonlight. "Yes I'm fine" I say. "Do you want me to bring you home?" He asks. "Uhh, sure" I say, I don't know why but he gives me a safe feeling.
He smiles showing his teeth, my eyes widen a bit seeing two really sharp ones, like fangs. I just shake it off as he holds my back helping me forward. It's a cold night and every breath I take makes a little bit of smoke come out of my mouth. I always liked to play with it but now I don't feel like it. It's just weird. I just met this guy and I trust him to bring me home.
He did safe me tough.
My toes are starting to get stiff of the coldness. I tune to look at his bare arms "aren't you cold?" I ask blowing some air in my hand rubbing them together. He looks down at me allowing me to see his whole face, he's really beautiful. He does look like that boy who killed my mom, but it's not him. He had dark hair, dark make up and dark clothes. "No I can't get cold" he says looking back forward. I think about it. Who on earth 'cant get cold'? Is he just showing off or.. is he really a vampire?
Omg no Cora, god you're starting to look like your mom. I look him up and down "I think I got it from here" I say starting to walk faster. "Sure? I don't want you to get killed" he sad chuckling. I give him a quick fake laugh waking away "thanks" I say holding up my hand at him. I turn around and sprint home. I hope dad is home already cause I'm not gonna stay alone tonight.
Bill's POV
I watch as she opens the door to her house. Tom kneels down next to me. "Hey" he says under his breath, the leaves cracking under his shoes. "Hey" I say still really concentrated on Cora. "So how's it go?" I say turning to him. "Good really good" he says. I turn to him. "Oh yea? Then why ISN'T SHE HERE?" I yell making him jump a bit. "The second I wanted to take her with me she ran off." He says. I sigh and shake my head "now I have to do this all on my own." I say. "Sorry" he says looking down. I put my hand on his shoulder. "It's fine. But you know too that I would be a better king then you" I say. He sighs and nod "yea yea" he says.
I look at her closing the door. As soon as it closed I make my way to her window.
Cora's POV
Dad isn't home yet so I just make my way up t my room. The hospital asked me to go there but I'm way to tired, way to traumatised. I wipe my hand over the soft blanket if my bed and lay down. I curl up and start sobbing quietly. Everything that happend today finally hits me making me feel worse.
I know I stopped drugs but now I really need it. I stand up tears still rolling down the side of my face. I open my drawer and take a little back with white powder in it. I open it and put a string on my dark wooden desk. I roll up a 20 dollar bill and put it to my nose. The second I wanna take it, I see something in the corner of my eye. I look up at my window my best jumping out of my chest.
