The Chronicles of a Teenage Vampire (Book One): Michelangelo, Teenage Vampire

One Lovely Sweet and Sour Night

     On the same night, Margret and Carlos were enjoying the night out together. They were talking about many things as it seemed through the whole night as they walked on the beach with the full moon lighting all the way through, that they may have been becoming a couple.

"Awooo!!" Carlos howled while in his normal human form beside Margret.

"You know what I don't get?" Margret asked Carlos.

"No. What?" Carlos asked.

"I don't get how on a full moon, you don't turn into a snarling beast and attack on the prowl." Margret admitted.

"Oh. Those are only movie stereotypes." Carlos explained. "If you're old enough and you can control it like me, you won't have to feel the pain of transforming on full moon nights but just feel the wolf instead of you stay calm. With all my years, it took a long time for me to master it. And I'm one hundred and nineteen years old like Mike!"

"So you're immortal like Michelangelo?" Margret asked.

"Yeah, unless you shoot me with a silver bullet or something." Carlos said calmly.

"Wow!!" Margret marveled. "Being immortal must be great!"

"No, being immortal isn't always the greatest." Carlos pointed out. "It has its ups and downs."

"Like what?" Margret asked.

"Well, every time I meet a normal girl, she'll be my girlfriend later and then I have to deal with heartbreak every time and break up with her." Carlos explained sadly.

"Why is that?" Margret asked.

"Because! I would have to deal with her aging and dying and not me! Then, my true nature would be revealed." Carlos said sadly. "Leaving me lonely once more."

"Oh, you poor soul!" Margret said as she and Carlos stopped walking for a second. "You can't even get married and have children if you wanted too!"

"I know!" Carlos said. "That special girl would have to be a werewolf like me to be married with me! Just like my parents..."

"You poor, poor thing!" Margret said. She closed her eyes and wanted to kiss him but changed her mind as she knew he would just pull away.

They both started walking again on the beach with Carlos being sad with his head down for only little while.

"Well, let's stop talking about sob stories of mine!" Carlos said quickly. "Let's talk about something else!"

"Let's talk about Michelangelo!" Margret suggested. "How is he?"

Carlos sighed hard on the subject of his best friend. Then, he shook his head.

"Out of all the things we've said to him We've tried every little thing to change his mind! But we couldn't stop that hard headed vampire." He said.

"What? What is it that Michael's doing that you can't change his mind over?" Margret wondered.

Carlos sighed hard. He then took a deep breath and exhaled.

"Michelangelo is going to drink blood again." He said quietly.

Margret gasped in shock and jumped a few feet away from Carlos.

"You've gotta be kidding me!!" She exclaimed.

"I wish I was, Marge. I wish I was." Carlos said quietly. "But we talked about it earlier tonight while walking to Pizza Hut and it seemed like I made a breakthrough but it didn't do much good. He called me afterwards and said he's made his decision and he's going to drink blood again!"

"What made him want to drink blood again?" Margret asked.

"He didn't tell me. But I have a feeling his grandfather is behind it." Carlos suggested.

"Why do you think his grandfather is making him drink human blood?" Margret asked. "Michael has usually has been a proud non-bloodsucker. Jen always says he never cares what his granddad says, as long as he's what he wants to be. She also said his dad's opinion sometimes matter to him and his dad is very positive for him."

"The old man sometimes hits low brow for Michael." Carlos said. "He would usually say that Mike that he's a disgrace to all vampires. Including the old man himself."

"Wow!" Margret said in disbelief. "That is really low! And he's supposed to be a supportive family member to Michelangelo."

"Yeah, and he's supposed to be closed family member he has closest to his dad while his dad is still mourning his wife's - Michael's mom - death in Transylvania." Carlos explained. "But, that old man only cares when things are going his way and people are doing things his way. Michael probably thinks he'll feel better if he does drink blood for his granddad."

"Well, does he know that if he drink blood again that he won't be able to hang pit with human friends? Especially Jen?" Margret asked.

"He doesn't care!" Carlos exclaimed. "As long as he makes Vermano proud, I'm sure that's the only thing that matters to him in his undead life. And there's nothing that me, you, or Jen can do to change his mind otherwise."

"Well, that's wonderful!" Margret said sarcastically. "So, when is he going to start?"

"He's going to ask his old man to give him another chance and let him take another vampire test to show he's a true vampire to Vermano I'm sure." Carlos explained. "He said he grabbed a rat from an old alley and he's gonna start drinking that and follow up drinking human blood."

"Ew!! That's gross!" Margret shivered.

"Yeah. Right now, I just think you better pray for him right now like I have been." Carlos said before he walked out in front of Margret.

'Oh, poor Michelangelo!' Margret thought to herself. 'I wish there was more we could do to change his mind! Oh well, I guess Carlos is right. I'm just gonna have to pray for him! And I also feel sorry for Carlos. Immortality is not his best friend when it comes to a lot of things. I wish he could turn me into a werewolf so we could at least try to date.'

'No way!' Carlos said to Margret telepathically. 'I don't want to ruin into a werewolf. Plus, you wouldn't to handle this animal!'

"Oh yeah?" Margret said out loud to Carlos.

Margret then tried to pounce and topple him but instead, he used his sense and caught her even though she was coming for him. They rolled on the sand and finally she on top of him. They both laughed with much joy.

Then suddenly, Margret closed her eyes again and moved close to Carlos. Carlos then surprisingly closed his eyes and moved close to her and kissed her on the lips slowly and passionately with her.

"Hmm!" Carlos said. "That was nice! Maybe I should turn you into a werewolf so you can date me..."
