Death At Dusk

Just a Bite

Hi! My name is Breanna or as my family call me: Anna. I'm a new writer and would like to thank you for reading my story! I hope you enjoy it!

If you see any mistakes, please let me know! I am also trying to find an editor, so if you are currently an editor who has the time and patients to work with me, please contact me and thank you!

Fact of the Day: My favorite book series is called The Blood of Eden trilogy!

Say hi to my editor guys! Her name is jaz and also known as @editorinprogress

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What the hell is wrong with this traffic? I really need to get to the interview on time, but at this rate I'll be a good 20 minutes late! Sighing, I quickly took a picture of the cars ahead. I hope that would help my excuse..I doubt they would even care though.

I flicked through the radio channels but failed to find anything good. Damn. Phone it is then. I scrolled through my playlist finally deciding on a gentle song to help calm my nerves. Humming along I finally reached my destination. A Wal-Mart. Lovely...
At 18, I don't have many job choices to choose from in such a small city as Lemoore. Hopefully things will work out here.
I rushed inside quickly finding the interviewer, who seems to be a very impatient woman.
"Hi, my name is-"
"Sam Carne's, I know. You're late."
She snapped.
Well someone is in a pissy mood. "I'm sorry but-"
"Don't even bother. Let's just get this over with."

I am so not getting that job. Great. Just great. I desperately need it but obviously that woman, Carol, did not like me.

I picked up my phone to see mom had texted me.
"Pick Angel and Kaden up from school."
"Okay" I sent back.
Angel and Kaden are my two siblings. Angel being seventeen and Kaden fourteen. All of us being blonde and blue eyed, we were constantly asked if they were triplets.
Nope. I laughed.
I pulled up to Lemoore High School to see Angel talking with her friend Savannah.
Come on, Angel. I don't have all day. Angel loves to talk and chatter her head off. I have to share a room with her and she would even talk until she passes out. Apparently it helps her sleep! I laughed at the thought. I swear sometimes I just wanna tape her mouth shut just so I can sleep!
I reached over and honked the horn to grab her attention. Come on, Angel!
I waved as she snapped her head in my direction. She quickly said goodbye to Savannah and ran to my car.
"Angel we have to pick up Kaden! Hurry up!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming. Chill out Sam."

We pulled up to our driveway to see my small one story house. It was a dull white with dying rose bushes scattered around the house.
I looked at Kaden to see him silently waiting for me to unlock the door. He's the quiet one. He can barely even continue a sentence without stuttering. Poor baby.
"Do you have homework, Kaden?"
He only shook his head. Maybe we should get him speech classes.
I shrugged and pushed through the front door to see mom in the kitchen.
"Mom?"
"Oh my God, are you okay? What's wrong?" What the hell happened to her?
She was currently sitting face down on the island with bloody bandages scattered around her. "Mom!"
She raised her head slowly to reveal her sagging brown eyes. Her skin was so very pale. "Angel call an ambulance!" Angel shook out of her shock and ran to the home phone which was located in the living room.
I rushed up to mom, "What happened to you? Are you okay?"
"Some crazy woman bit me while I was at the store. It won't stop bleeding!"
"Bleeding? Where? Let me help."
She lifted her right arm to display a heavily bandaged forearm. She's right. Its still bleeding. I've gotta stop the bleeding!
"Kaden I need you to grab as many towels as you can and grab me the disinfectant!"
He quickly left the kitchen.
I wish I knew first aid...
I think I'm supposed to put pressure on the wound.
Kaden silently handed me four towels and the disinfectant.
"Thank you." I turned to mom and opened the bandage that was wrapped around her arm to see a nasty bite. Human teeth. I gagged. It smelled awful but look way worse. It was oozing a greenish, grey puss. Blood was everywhere and it looked like the bite mark went down to the bone. What is wrong with people? I sprayed as much disinfectant then rubbed away the pus. After cleaning as much as I could, I placed the towel on her arms with pressure. I hope this works until the ambulance gets here.
I can already hear the sirens but it seems a bit too far away. "Mom keep your head up. What happened? Do you feel okay?"
"I don't really remember a lot. I was at the store and out of nowhere a woman attacked me and bit my arm. She refused to-"
She stuttered and coughed up blood. "Mom!"
Why is she coughing blood? She was only bit on the arm!
