This Bites

Leaving

In my room upstairs I grabbed my suit case and stuffed it with clothes, shoes, makeup, hair and beauty products, and a single picture of my family. I grabbed my wallet and took out the credit cards leaving me with a license, two debit cards, and a Tonys business card. I was almost ready to go to the bank and withdraw all the money from my accounts. Since I had to leave my phone, along with the rest of my life, I texted Triston.

Hey babe... We need to talk

I sat on the end of my bed as a single tear slid down my cheek. Marisol looked at me sadly, but she looked distant, like she was remembering when she went through this or something. Just then my phone rang playing the first song that Triston and I had danced to. I answered it. "Zari! What do you mean your leaving? You can't leave! You could get your own apartment or something! Why are you leaving?" Triston sounded frantic. "Tris... I really don't want to do this but I have to, I have to leave I'm sorry," that was all I could think to say. "If you don't want to leave you don't have to!" He replied almost angrily. "Did I do something? Is that why your leaving? I can fix it whatever it is!" He started to sound desperate. I thought about saying 'you didn't do anything unles you are a vampire fledgling that bit me last night' but I decided not to. "You didn't do anything I... I just have to leave. I love you, Triston. Don't forget me," I hung up before he could say anything else. I turned my phone to silent and set it on my bed table. I quickly scribbled a note on a piece of paper for my parents to find when they got back. I grabbed my bags and looked at Marisol. "Ready?"she asked. I nodded.

I stopped at the bank and emptied out all of my accounts and put all of the money on a debit account that could not be traced. Then I drove to an old car dealership and sold my Prius. I had put all of my bags into Marisol's bug, but right before my car was gone I took the final thing I needed, a picture of me and Triston, and shoved it into my pocket. I got into the passenger seat of Marisol's car. Now that all of my adrenaline had run out I just sat there. "Why are you helping me?" I asked her. "I am a tracker. I track down and kill all rouge vampires. I am the only female and when I told the elders that I was bringing a fledgling back to Cesena they were very excited to see you. They are the eldest vampires in the world, yet they act like teenage boys when they hear that a new girl is coming," she said with an exasperated sigh. "So who exactly are the elders?" I asked truly interested. "Jamal, Arsu, Karsion, Zachariah, Brio, and Ash," she said. "The oldest vampires alive, and well kind of the rulers of the vampire world." "Oh," was all I could think to say. Luckily we had just gotten to the airport.

Marisol had said that the elders had gotten both of us first class seats for our ride to Cesena so when we got to the ticket booth we just got tickets and got on our plain. "Marisol?" I asked. "Yes?" Was her reply. "Do you have a last name?" "Yes, oh and my name is Raven, not Marisol. Raven Nightbloom. I picked it out when I turned. New life, new name. Marisol was my old name. You can choose a new name too." She said thoughtfully. "But Zarianna is a vampire name so you don't have to," Raven added quickly. "Well can I just be Zarianna then? No last name?" I asked. "Sure," she replied.
