The Liquid Vampire

Chapter 3: Water Breathing

“Hahaha die, zombies!” I shouted laughing to myself as I killed zombies. They were now coming after me from every direction. I stopped laughing. “Crap, crap, crap. Run!” I shouted to myself as I ran away from them. There were too many so I ran but soon found myself in a corner. I turned around and started shooting the zombies that were following me until I ran out of bullets. “Awe crapola! I’m gonna die.” I whined and tried to move out of their way but one of the zombies hit me and then they started biting me.

The screen went black and then words in dripping blood red appeared on the screen. “Game over!” I whined “Awe man! I was almost to the last level. Stupid zombies.” I put down the gun controller for the Wii and turned it off along with the TV. I got up from the couch I was on and looked around. It was hot in this room so I started fanning myself with my hand and left the room. I went to the kitchen and found Dante at the table reading a book.

“Dante, it’s hot.” I said.

He looked up and then looked around. “Really? I didn’t notice.”  He said and looked at me. “You’re sweaty.”

I rolled my eyes. “Duh, I just said it was hot. Can’t you turn on the cooler?” I asked and then noticed he was in a long sleeved shirt. “Are you sure you’re not hot?”

He shook his head and then looked at me confused. “What’s a cooler?”

I face-palmed and then looked at him. “Air conditioner.”

He shook his head. “Ah, no we don’t have that.”

I groaned and started walking around the kitchen whining that it was hot. He got up and left. “Rude!” I shouted.

“Trying to read.” He shouted back.

I groaned again. Man and they don’t even have a pool. I put my hands behind my head and then got an idea. I shot up from the couch and ran to the sink. I put the stopper in and filled the sink up with water. I then breathed in and calmed my head before I lifted my hand up then my fore-finger. The water from the sink rose up and out of the sink into the air. I moved both of my hands back and forth in a round circle and watched as the water formed into a ball like shape that was huge.

I grinned and then brought the ball downwards a bit till it was a couple inches from the ground and in front of me. “Man, I hope this works.” I said and then jumped directly into the water closing my eyes. After a few seconds I opened them and looked around. I gasped as I looked down and saw the water under my feet and that I was in the air. I was in the water. I cheered and noticed that I could breathe even though I was in water. “Holy crap!” I shouted. Everything looked clear but blue tinted. It was awesome.

I then put my hands in front of me and tried to swim thinking it wouldn’t work but it did. It felt like I was flying but in water. I moved towards the door and into the living room swimming around the house. The best part was that It wasn’t hot anymore it was cool inside the water ball and fun. I laughed to myself and then shouted “Dante! Where are you at?!”

He shouted back “In the library! Why?”

“Don’t move!” I shouted and swam up the stairs and into the hallway searching for the library. I found him in there at one of the tables reading. He didn’t notice me until I spoke “Look up!”

He looked up and his eyes widened. “How... What the…” He stuttered.

I smiled and moved around in a circle. “Isn’t it awesome?!”

He stood up and walked towards me. “How are you breathing? Let alone moving around in the air?” He asked me puzzled.

I shrugged. “I don’t know. It was hot so I got this idea. I thought since I could raise the water that maybe I could go inside it and move around. I didn’t think it would work but it did!” I said happily and moved around more.
