bloodsucker

chapter 1.

It was a normal night, nothing really out of the ordinary for me. "Maeve! Come downstairs it's time to eat!" I hear my mom say that and immediately start to get up to go downstairs. I was pretty hungry. i go downstairs and I look around. "Mom?" I can't find her. I look around the kitchen, the living room, even her bedroom; which I'm not usually aloud in. She's no where to be found. I walk back into the kitchen to at least see if she left food on the counter. I see her. "Mom..? who is that." I see a guy next to her with a pale vampirey look. He's holding the back of her neck and she looks stiff and scared. "Sweetie, stay calm. just do what he asks." as my mom says that my heart starts to race.
"This is Ezra. He's a bloodsucker." Ezra squeezes her neck at the word bloodsucker. Vampires are common here. I always heard in the news about 'animal attacks' Little did I know this was how I'd spend my Friday night.
"Whys he here."
"He wants to live here in exchange for our lives"
"That's not a very good exchange mom."
"Well sweetie do you want to live?"
fair point, I thought. maybe this won't be that bad. I'll live...right?
I don't really know if this is something that vampires normally do. I'm going along with it for my life. "Maeve, set him up in the guest bedroom for now. he can make it his own as we go on." he follows me into the guest bedroom and I grab some blankets from the closet and I start making his bed. While I'm making his bed I hear his voice. It was deep but crisp. "I can make my own bed" he says "suit yourself" I set the blankets down on the bed and walk out of the room to the kitchen where my mom was recovering. "Mom...is this seriously going to happen?" My mom shushes me. "He can hear you" am I going to have to learn to watch my back? To not feel safe in my own house? The house I grew up in? I see him come downstairs. "Dinners- dinners almost ready!" My mom says in a shaky voice. "Oh I know. I know." In the blink of an eye he flashes over to me and bites my neck. I scream. A million thoughts flood in my head. Am I going to live? Will I leave my mom alone? is my life over? a few seconds later he rips his teeth out of my neck and bites his wrist and puts it to my mouth. His blood is salty and disgusting I feel the need to gag but I can't. suddenly the bites on my neck are gone and I feel nauseous. I catch a glance at my mom and I see her face, she looks so scared. "This wasn't apart of the arrangement Ezra!" Her voice is loud and raw. I fall to the ground from nausea. I wake up an hour later. I hear Ezra and mom fighting but I'm perfectly fine. Ezra's blood must've healed me. I sit up. I didn't know that was possible. I sit and think for a moment..he bit me..and fed me his blood..I passed out..did I die? Am I a vampire now? what's going on? Is this why my mom is fighting with Ezra? I stand up and walk to where I hear the fighting I see Ezra standing calmly while my mom yells at him. "Ezra..?" I look at them both while my mom looks at me like a lost puppy. "Am I...a vampire now?" I bite my lip to stop myself from crying. "uh yes. If you don't drink blood in the next 24 hours you'll die." DIE? i don't want to die. my head starts to spin. "But it's okay. I'll get you a blood-bag, or if you want we can go find a person."
"A PERSON?!"
"yes..a person."
"I think I'll stick with a blood bag thank you very MUCH sir!"
I would never eat a person. The thought of it almost made me gag. "Maeve you will do NO such thing! you won't become a vampire!" my mom yells a cross the room. Does she want me to die..? "Mom I'll DIE? Do you want me to die?" I feel betrayed. the most betrayed I've ever felt. my own mother?
"Ivey she will die."
"I'd rather have a dead daughter then a BLOODSUCKER"
"Bloodsucker is a derogatory term. I am not a bug neither is your daughter."
somehow he still remained calm. At first I had a hatred against Ezra but he's growing on me. I don't understand how he's so calm during this I would have exploded already. I suppose if he did it would prove her right. Before I could think another thought Ezra grabs me and In a blink of an eye we're upstairs. now when I say blink of an eye it's important to know we aren't teleporting, he has this weird ability to run really fast. almost in the blink of an eye. It would probably take him an hour to run to France or something! maybe that's exaggerated. you get the point.

"Pack your shit we gotta go." Pack my shit? i don't wanna leave. but if I stay I'll have to die. I'll do what it takes to survive.  I pack my clothes, my phone and charger, my favorite book and my favorite stuffed animal. I put it all into a suitcase and shut it. I hope this isn't my last goodbye to my mom, my house, my room.

"You finished packing?" He looked around my room. "Yeah..really wish I wasn't." he grabs me and we dart out of my window.
