Open Fire

Ezra

I'm sitting in a room. A very dark room. I'm in a chair. I can't move, i'm just sitting here staring into a dark black nothingness in front of me. Then i see a face. The face of a girl. A beautiful girl with violet eyes and long brown hair. She's smiling. A happy moment. But then her face contorts and i hear her scream for mercy! Her beauty is suddenly masked by the face of a white wolf. Then wolf lunges forward it's jaw wide with sharp menacing teeth! And then......

I sit up sweat dripping from my forehead. "Thank God it was only a dream" i thought to myself. "I had had bizarre dreams before but nothing like this. That girl...that beautiful girl who is she? And why is she a wolf? I mean i guess it makes sense dreaming of your enemy. The war between vampires and werewolves had been going on since the beginning of time. 

Everyone knows the story of Adam and Eve but what mortals don't know is that when they were banished from the garden of Eden, Adam was cursed as a Vampire. An eternal slave to the sun. And Eve was cursed as a werewolf. An eternal slave to the moon. It was obviously Eve's fault for getting Adam kicked out of the garden. Us Vampires have been fighting for our right to get to heaven for millions of years. Lets just put it this way, we made a deal with god. Since both species are immortal whoever wins the war gets to die peacefully. One day vampires will win our right to go to heaven. Millions of Vampires and werewolves have fought against each other in their area all over the world. The war ultimately ends with one species becoming completely extinct. 

I snap back to reality realizing that i'm still in bed. I slowly move one body part after the other until i'm completely out of bed. I walk over to where my roommate, Mason, sleeps. I kick his snoring body. "Wakey wakey sleepy head. Remember today Jeremiah wants us to spy on the wolves and we have to be ready in ten minutes." "Gimme five more minutes... says Mason groggily.

Everyone assumes that vampires don't sleep. But trust me,we do. How else do we get our energy? Vampires kill animals rather than people. At least the good ones do. We don't get enough energy from animal blood so sleeping is the other alternative. 

I move my way over to my dresser and pull out clothes for the day. A red t-shirt and jeans will have to do. I brush my teeth, fix my hair and by that point Mason is up and ready to go. We make our way out of the old door.

Our group of vampires have made an old broken down hotel called Old Country Hotel our base. It's a few miles away from the woods where a pack of wolves have settled. It's old and dusty but has heating, air conditioning, electricity and pluming. It was a pretty good find. 

Mason and I take a ride down the squeaky rusty elevator. With mirrors on all the sides. We never appeared in any of them anyways. We got to the first floor where Jeremiah and the rest of the group was waiting. "Finally you two decided to show up!" said Jeremiah. 

Jeremiah was the leader of the group and was the oldest. He had been bitten by Adam himself. He won't tell us much about him. Except Adam was a jerk. 

Jeremiah went on calling out a list a names and telling them their assignment. "Mason and Ezra you spy on the camp and find out what time their attacking tonight." he said with a stern look on his face. "Leave now and don't come back till you find out." "Got it." said Mason. 

We left the hotel jumping from tree to tree. I couldn't help but remember the beautiful girl from my dream. Her violet eyes were enchanting........ Just then i was woken from my day dream my Mason yelling "Dude you're lagging behind!" I jumped to the ground. He followed. "Mason can i tell you something weird." "Uh...sure."he said. "Last night i dreamed of a girl with violet eyes and then she turned into a wolf." Their was a long pause. Finally he asked "Was she hot?" with a slight grin. "Mason! shut Up! This is serious! I want to know what it means!" I yelled at him. "I'm not your therapist! I don't know what it means!" he yelled back. Their was another long pause. "Sorry" I said. "It was just so bizarre but not all at the same time. It just so confusing and i know it means something." "Maybe you should talk to Jeremiah" said Mason. "He might know a thing or two about vampire dreams." "Okay, thanks." i said. 

We continued to make our way deeper into the woods until Mason suddenly stopped. "Hey you never answered my question" he said "Was she hot?" "She wasn't just hot" I said "She was beautiful."
