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

Present Alludes the Past

     "Katrina, I thought I killed you!" Michelangelo growled as he slammed his cup on the table in anger.

"You did," Katrina said as she looked at her fingernails.

"Then why are you here?!" Michael shouted.

"Clearly, someone brought me back." Katrina said as she pushed back her black and brown long cornrows. "A vampire, I think... maybe someone you always call your uncle to make him feel young."

"I'm done talking to you!" Michael snapped and went away from the table. He headed back to give Jennifer her drink. His vision was tricked by Katrina's magic.

"Took you long enough!" Katrina appeared in front of him in Jennifer's place.

"Die, witch!" Michael said. He then splashed the punch over "Katrina." But it turned out that "Katrina" was actually Jennifer all along.

The music stopped as everyone saw Jennifer was soaked in punch by Michael. Everyone stared in silence until Teryen started laughing from her upstairs balcony.

"I think I know now who's won the costume contest!" She said. "It's definitely a pity award now!"

Carlos and Margret ran past Michael without saying a word to him and went to comfort Jennifer.

"Come on, girl," Margret said to her best friend as she took her left hand while Carlos took her right hand. "Let's go get you cleaned up."

"Then, we'll take you home," Carlos said to Jennifer as they started walking past Michael to the bathroom.

"I'm sorry, Jen!" Michael tried to apologize to Jennifer. "It's not what you think!"

"Yeah, it's not what you think!" Teryen said with a devilish smile. "Now come back and get your pity trophy!"

"Shut up, you spoiled rich bitch!" Michael shouted at Teryen before he ran after Jennifer.

Everyone else stared at Teryen to see what she'd do next. Teryen slowly came down the spiral steps.

"That's okay to be called a bitch. Because I know I am one; and I'm proud to be it. I'm the bitch that's not intimidated by anyone! But I... I have a costume contest..." She said.

"And I plan to give this pitfall trophy to the ugliest, pitiful monster here; and that ugly, pitiful monster is: Jennifer Gleynn. And I plan to give it to her!"

Teryen then stared at her party guests who were staring right back at her. She then looked up at the DJ.

"DJ, bring the beat back!" She said. "This party ain't over till I say it's over."

The DJ did as he was told and put a new song on as Teryen left the room.

Michael came close to the bathroom where Jennifer, Margret, and Carlos were until Katrina magically appeared in front of him.

"Witch!" He said as he took her by the neck and slammed and pinned her to the wall. "Look what you've made me do!"

"What? Get the girl wet? She'll survive!" Katrina said smugly. "It's not like I made a wave of seawater appear out of your cup and drown her!"

"I don't care!" Michael shouted at Katrina. He then slammed her even harder into the wall. "Katrina, I don't care if you came back from the dead, all I want you to do is to stay out of my way and stay out of me and my friends' lives!"

"And if I don't?" Katrina choked to speak as Michael clasped his hand around her neck even tighter.

"This!" Michael shouted at her as his eyes glowed red in anger.

Michael then grew out his fangs even more, pulled Katrina close to him and started drinking from her neck. He was stopped by a faint gasp he heard coming from down the hall. He looked and saw that the gasp came from Teryen. She then dropped the trophy and let it roll away from her.

"You're a real vampire?!"
