Expect The Unexpected

"We need to keep.. running" Zach says as he starts to run.

I follow him through the forest and we eventually end up at the side of the road in the middle of the woods.

"We need to.. wait for a car" he says exhausted as he looks at my wounded hand.

I quickly hide it and nod. His pupils turn black again and I back off.

"Don't be scared. I have myself.. under complete control.. but I can't do anything about the black.. pupil thing. It's the only thing I have no.. control over". He says to reassure me.

I nod. For one hour it's silence between us, I guess we just both needed some time digesting the things that happened.

Then a car approaches.

"Brace yourself, Mandy. You don't have to see this if you don't want to" Zach weakly says.

I think about that for a moment and then understand what he means. 'NO! don't do it, Zach. You can find another way..' I desperately say to convince him.

He turns around to me, walks my way and then stands really close to me. He looks at me, straight into my eyes and flat out admits how he thinks about it: "listen, Mandy. There is no other way. You don't know where I'm going through right now. See, when a vampire doesn't feed, it gets both hunger and thirst in the highest order. I've repressed it for way too long right now and I deserve my reward" He says like a mad man.

I stare forward and process what he just said. He's made his point very clear and he just basically tells me to accept the fact that he is going to kill whoever is in that car..

I look at Zach who is still standing right in front of me. He looks at the incoming car that is about 50 feet away now. The black thing in his eyes returns and he walks towards the road. He is standing in the middle of the road pretending to be a lost pedestrian and succeeds to stop the car. A man is coming out of it, I hope he is the only one..

Zach runs weak towards him. From a little distance I hear them talking.

"Are you OK?" The man quickly asks.

"Not.. really" Zach responds.

The man looks at Zach. I think he noticed the torn shirt Zach is wearing. "Is there something I can help you with?"

Zach grins "Actually, there is" He responds, he looks at the man while his black eyes return, probably to scare him and then grabs him and starts feeding.

I silently watch and I don't really like what I see. Zach didn't stop until the point he couldn't breathe anymore. He gasps for air and then continues. After a while, he's done and throws the cadaver into some bushes. Then, he walks towards me. At the moment he walks towards me, something happens. His face-expression changes to painful again and he falls to the ground. I anxiously look around to see who's near but notice an arrow is jutting out of Zach's back. At the moment I want to run towards him, someone stops me and prevents me from screaming.

I turn around, it's Bree! She looks at me and then starts talking "Don't let yourself get into this kind of trouble, Mandy" She says.

'Bree! How did you find me here? I curiously ask.

"End this, now!" she now says a little louder.

She's really scaring me off, she shows up at a secluded forest and then acts really crazy.. what's the matter? I just look at her.

"I'm dead, Mandy" Bree says.

A shock of fear rushes through my body.

<ZACH'S POV>

When I'm done I look around me. This was all I needed. Afterwards I throw the cadaver into some bushes. When I turn around to walk towards Mandy, I notice she has fainted. I rapidly run over to her and try to wake her up. After a few minutes, Mandy seems to get her consciousness back. She's so beautiful.. even when she's unconscious. When she opens her eyes I realize my face still looks red of blood and quickly look the other way to wipe most of it off.

<MANDY'S POV>

After the shock of fear I open my eyes and see Zach quickly looks the other way. I'm sitting up straight from my lying position and look around. The big white car's still at the right side of the road and nobody seems to be near. Zach turns around to me;

"Are you OK?" He asks actually really concern fully.

I look at him and notice he has tried to hide the blood stains by wiping it off but it didn't really worked. 'I'm good'. I reply already a little clearer. 'You look to be OK again either' I add a few second afterwards.

He sighs and nods. "Shall we go home?" he suggests as he is already walking to the car.

'Yeah..' I respond and follow him.

After half an hour of silent road-tripping I notice we enter our town again. A happy feeling is going through me when we past the 'Delzyle' sign. We drive up my driveway which immediately reminds me of what happened last time I was home. I look at how late it is via the digital clock in the expensive looking car and notice It's already 6 AM. It's still dark though.

'Well, bye I guess..' I say uncomfortable.

"Wait" He says. "I'm sorry for.. this whole day.."

I remain silent and look at him. Then he comes closer and kisses me and I kiss back. With full of admiration I look at him and I start to feel a weird feeling inside of me. That was the last thing I expected..

I get out of the car and walk towards the door. I look back at him and see he is already driving backwards off of my driveway. I turn around back to the door and carefully open it. All looks normal again, like nothing happened. But we do have some new furniture here and there. I decide to walk upstairs to check my parents' room. They're both sleeping. I'm really tired and I have to school in a couple of hours, but I think I just skip that for one day. So I head to bed and fall asleep almost 2 minutes after I got in.

I immediately get into a dream. I see Bree is standing there with a heart in her hand. Not a valentine heart, but a real heart that looks to be hers. Because she drops dead not really long after I see her and then I wake up. When I want to move, I notice I can't. I feel like I'm having a heart attack and try to yell for help. That either doesn't work. I can only move my eyes and see someone is standing there, at the end of my bed. I still can't move a muscle and this feels like the worst thing ever..
