Numb

(Prologue)

Footsteps  shuffle around the master bedroom Erin hides in the cedar chest her parents have, she breathes heavy but it comes out more soft. The conversation becomes louder as they enter the bedroom, erin's dad yelling at one of the gentlemen that they needed to leave.

" We know your housing the little brat! so why don't you just hand her over  and we can end this confrontation quietly."

Clark's heart began to race at a speed that he couldn't control his nervousness, His eyes would dart about the room, at the cedar chest then back at the man in the white suit.

"I'm telling you  I don't have the girl!" Clark shouts.

The second man steps forward his fangs show that he means business. Clark steps down and almost shudders at the beasts presence.

growling through his teeth." Shut up, or your wife will be teared to shreds!"

May shrieks and begins to sob in fear that she might die at the hands of a blood thirsty vampire. Erin's heart rate speeds up even more, one last glance at the chest was all it would take for the vampire to start walking over and trying to open it. As he touches the latch Clark springs forward and tackles the man to the ground hard. Erin almost yells yeah dad! but  is held silent, his heroic gesture turned into him getting the shit beaten out of him by the men in the white and black suit. Watching him get hit so many times is hard to watch, tears burn Erin's eyes as she's forced to watch her own flesh and blood get injured or worse......killed. And she can't do a single thing.

why? why me?  She breathes slowly, her chest rising and falling as the tears burn her eyes and her heart beats heavy in her chest for pain and fear. The man in white gets up and wipes off the dirt from his suit coat, stands straight and kicks Clark in the side, causing him to cough up blood.

hissing," now listen here....Clark. I'm done with your God damn excuses! so either you can hand her over or we can get messy-"

"your choice. I choose messy!" 

Clark breaths in and out slowly, he glares up at the man in the white suit and grins showing a bloody gummed smile. " Go to hell Lucifer!"

The two gentlemen glance at each other, smiles spread across their faces so wide that their fangs show completely.

" Well then....do you suppose-"

" It's what he wants. We should let him have it."

Both inch closer towards may and Clark, both huddle close to each other, the vibrations of fear come off of them. Erin sobs, covering her mouth to hide the sound as she watches her parents get bitten and eaten by vampires. She cover's her eyes to block out the horrifying sight of her parents mangled bodies being eaten alive, their screams echo in the room of pain and agony. Its only an hour when the gentlemen leave, Erin slowly opens the chest and steps out quietly looking down at the ground where there lies her parents dead bodies, blood everywhere and intestines gushing out. The sight is almost too much, Erin feels weak in the knees that she falls on all fours throwing up at the sight of this disgusting scene. 

slowly wiping her mouth. God.....What did they do to deserve such a cruel punishment?

Erin pulls herself up slowly on the bed and finds two sheets that can cover both may and Clark's bodies. Covering them up makes it easier to walk around the room, she glances around the room. I can't stay here.....they'll try to come back for me again. Taking a deep breath she walks to her parents closet and grabs a back, in it she has a picture of her parents and her, money in case of an emergency, some food........and Clark's hand gun. He took her out a couple of times to practice shooting, but she didn't think she would have to use it ......she was wrong. After gathering her stuff she grabs a letter that Clark wrote for her in case if something were to happen to both of them in such a case, explaining that their is a safe house down town full of all she really needs to survive and a number to contact for training in combat and self defense. She breathes out slowly, turning on the Ferne's, gas stove and fire place she burned down the house watching it burn.....watching her memories of her childhood disappear before her eyes.

" Good bye mom, Bye dad." She whispers.

Erin turns away from the charcoal house and walks on to her future, to her destiny. They will pay, damn them all.......they will pay.

Smoke from the house dissipates, twilight rises to a new day. Damn. Another shitty  twilight.
