When the Sun Goes Down

~17~

The warm blood runs down my throat. Charles takes his wrist away and screams buy I want more. I go into his neck. I can hear his blood pumping, his heart beating. Each breath he takes sounds like a tornado killing everything in it's path. I can hear the electricity in the light bulbs above me. Each time the slightest breeze hits the barn I hear the wood creak loudly. I can hear the trees swaying in the wind. It's like I can hear the night.

I bite into his neck and do the thing I once feared, drank him dry. The hunger for blood hurt. It was consuming me. I had to get more.

I look around to see the car parked outside the barn. I can hear the other man breathing. I go to run but speed instead. "Wait!" Sondra yells. "Thats enough for right now!"

"I need more!" I yell back.

I race to the car door, open it, and drink all this man's blood. Then I fall back on the ground. It just hit me that I'm killing these people. These people, who were fathers to someone, brothers, uncles, friends, husbands. I killed them. Me. I did. I drank every last drop of blood in them.

That makes me sad. Sadder than I've ever been before. I start crying. I not know why but I'm sadder than when my father passed away, sadder than when Blake died. I'm so sad.

"It's ok, Kevin." Sondra says and walks over to me. "Your emotions are heightened when your a vampire so sadness is really, really sad and depressed."

"No! It's not ok, Sondra!" I yell. I don't know why I'm yelling. I'm just really mad at Sondra for saying that! I just killed two people and it's like she doesn't even care! She's the one that turned me! It's her fault!

"Your mad now." She says.

"No duh I'm mad now! I'm a murder and it's all your fault!" I say.

"It's ok. Let it all out." Sondra says.

"You made me this! You turned me into a monster!" I yell. But now she's telling me to let it all out. She's trying to help me. Now I feel bad. She's just trying to help me and I'm here screaming at her. She really does love me and is trying to help and I'm being a complete jackass. "I'm sorry, Sondra. I'm being an ass hole. Your trying to help me and I'm screaming at you. I understand if your mad."

She comes over, sits on the ground and kisses me. "Your right." She says. "This is my fault. That's why I'm helping you. And because I love you."

"I love you too." I reply.

We start kissing again. And it becomes more and more heated. She lays down on top of me. I start taking her shirt off. Then she takes mine off. It's going to far. I back away from our kiss and put my shirt back on. "We can't do this right now." I say.

"Ok." She says and gets up.

"We have to get home." I say.

"Ok, then get in the car." She says as she gets in the driver side.

I obey and get in the passenger side.

"Do you know where to go?" I ask.

"Not a clue." She replies. She starts the car and turns around.

"Well, I guess just take this road until we get to a highway." I say and point to the road in front of us. It's a dirt road that leads through the middle of the woods.

"Your guess is as good as mine." She says and starts driving down the road.
