New: Worlds (Chapter 8)

Chapter 8: Burning

What a dick. I mean, I get that Connor hates me, but seriously did he hate me that much?! What kind of a person bites someone if they don't like them. One second I'm getting bitten by my sister's boyfriend, and the next second you have no idea where you are. For a little while, I couldn't see anything. my eyes were open, but there was just total darkness. Something cold and metallic locked me to a cold flat surface. I laid on the ground wondering if my eyes were open or closed. Or if i was just dreaming. I couldn't pinch myself to find out. All of a sudden a timy, glowing white ball appeared in front of me. There was a mini flash and I could see something. It was watching a live video feed in first person point of view. The camera was bouncing up and down like someone was running. It took me a while to figure out that the camera was my eye. But if I was here, then how come I had no control over my body and i could see something but something else at the same time? Then there was a red ball of light, a red flash, and a floating mirror appeared in front of me. I saw myself in it, but I looked different. My eyes were dark red, and my eyes looked sunken in... almost as if I was a- aaaand theres the fangs. "Enjoying the view Clay?" the reflection said to me. "I would but I don't even know what I'm looking at."

"Oh, sorry about that." The reflection tilted his head and the view changed. Bri's body was on his, or my, shoulder. Connor was holding my sister in the same position. And she wasn't moving "What happened? What have you done to my body? What have you done to my friend, you son of a BITCH!"I screamed at the mirror. I struggled and pushed and pulled, but the clamps were too tight. I couldn't escape. "You do realize you just called yourself a son of a bitch, right?"

"No. I called my reflection that. Not myself."

"Touché. Well you're right. I'm not like you. I am merely a resident passing through. But in a couple hours, I'm here permanently. Once the venom reaches the heart, you won't have any control over this body. And I'll be the one in charge."

"What venom?"

"Ugh. Ignorant mortals. Fine. Lets call this 'Vampire 101'. When a vampire sucks someone's blood, they take in the blood and leave behind a venom that will transform the human they bit into one of them. There are three phases, and each lasts one hour. Phase one: the brain. First the venom spreads to the brain. It corrupts your mind, and the most common side effect is well... pervertedness. Phase two: the veins. the venom travels through every vein in your body and starts to alter your genetic code. The human usually experiences extreme pain in this phase. And phase three: the heart. The human is a full vampire. And starting from the end of phase one, if a vampire doesn't get blood in their system, their mortal body dies. Any questions?"

"What's the cure?"

"There is none."

"You're lying."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are, you're tensed. I can feel it from here. You're lying. What's the cure?"

"Fine there's a cure. But since I'm a new born, I don't know it yet. Am I lying, Clay?"

His red eyes flashed and searched into my caramel ones. He wasn't lying this time. I heard a timer go off. "That'll be the end of phase one. Don't get me wrong, the pervertedness doesn't go away. Phase one is just where it begins." All of a sudden, the slab of metal I was laying on burst into flames. I was surprised, seeing as I knew fore wouldn't hurt me, so why didn't he? Then I realized why he did that. The flames hurt. A searing pain startes on my wrist. My skin was boiling, and it looked disgusting. "Ironic, isn't it? Slowly dying by your own fire. All your life you've been saying that fire doesn't hurt you. And look where we are now." The mirror vanished and I had left myself to burn.
