I parked up my car and turned off the ignition. Sitting there quietly for a moment, watching as all the humans walked past, coming home from work, going out for a night on the town. Any normal thing that I had never been able to do. There was a couple that walked past my car. Laughing, chatting, having fun. The way they looked at one another was amazing, so loving and sweet, like there was nothing that could bring them down, on top of the world. Something that I would never feel myself.
I took a deep breath and left my car. Locking it and headed down the street. Watching as the humans walked by, unaware that one was going to end up, by the end of the night, being my lunch. I hated the thought of it, me taking the blood from someone that knew nothing of this. Had done nothing to have there life taken from them.
I pulled my jacket close to me. I wasn’t cold, just the normal thing to do in weather like this. Seeing how the humans were acting, you could tell that it was cold. The wind blow and my dark brown wavy hair moved away from my face.
I looked down the road then towards the shops. Seeing myself in the window. My brown hair, pale white skin, slim small structure, about 5''3 I would say I was. But I couldn’t be sure. I never had my height checked. Never saw the point of it. Sadness laid in my cat green eyes. Unhappiness. I’ve never had anything but my childhood to be happy about. Family.
“Are you ok miss?” A young gentlemen around 25 years old with black hair asked. He was average height for his age with topaz eyes.
I looked at him and nodded. “Yes, I’m fine thank you…” I brushed my hair behind my ears and smiled.
“Good, its just my mate…” he moved his hand towards a group of guys and a couple of lasses, some as couples. There was mostly guys, so I think I would know where this was going, he pointed to one of the youngest guys who looked about 19, blonde hair that was spiked on top “…were wondering if he could have your number, or buy you a drink.”
My eyes drifted over to the guy. He may want to buy me a drink, but at the end of this I would be drinking from him. “Yeah, sure, you can buy me a drink if you wish to.” I gave my flirtation smile to the guy.
He smiled and all the others headed into the bar next door to the shop I was looking at. “I’m Ethan…” holding out his hand.
I took his hand and shook is. “Kathleen.” I then looked him in the eyes. I could smell his blood, feel it pumping through his veins as I held onto his hand. My thrust grow and I didn’t want to wait for the blood in him.
‘Follow me’ I projected into his mind, forcing him to do as I say. The advantage of being a vampire was that you can control ones mind of who you would feed from.
Ethan nodded and followed me down the street towards an ally out of the way of anyone who could see. I stopped and lent against the wall. Ethan stopped in front of me, the smiled still laid on his lips. Little did he know what was about to happen.
‘Come to me’
Ethan moved towards me and I placed my lips on his neck, kissing softly, licking carefully at his neck, not wanting him to jump away from me. I turned us both till he was the one with his back against the wall. I could feel his blood, moving around and around in his body. His body was warm, alive.
‘I’m so sorry’ I then bit into him and took the liquid that pumped around his body, taking it for my own. The warm blood slid down my throat. Very drop clenching my thrust, taking away the burning sensation that after days of not feeding had built up until now. I could feel my strength rebuilding up, my energy grow with each drop I took from him.
He was slipping away, lack of blood. Just like me. I pulled away, licking away the blood on his neck and closing the wound as well. I let his weak body fall to the ground and I stepped away. I had done it again. Another guy, another day. It’ll keep happening.
‘You will forget what happened tonight’
I looked around and headed back towards the street, pulling my hood up to hide my face. I headed away from the bar. Away from the crowd that stood there. No one needed to see me, I needed to be invisible.
I started to run to my car and got in. I sat there just thinking what had just happened. Blood red tears ran down my face. That’s the only tears a vampire could cry and only when we had blood in are bodies could we cry at all. I grabbed the tissue out of my pocket and wiped away the tears. Blood. I could handle do this, after all the years I had been killing to live, you would think I would not feel the pain over and over again. But I could, every time I took a life, every time I took someone from there family. It was wrong, I knew it was wrong, but I kept on doing it. To live for nothing in my life. Nothing.
I looked out my window and saw a man standing there, watching me. Watching my every move I made. Did he see the blood on my face? Did he see what I did to that man? Did he know what I was? Could he be what every vampire feared? A Hunter?
