Gold and Blood

A Shocker

Blinding light then nothing. That's all I remember from the night before. I slowly opened my eyes to the see a white plaster wall full of posters. My room. I sat instantly and winced as my head throbbed out.  

" What the hell happened?'' My voice rang out in my ears. " Uhhh'', I whined as my whole body ached in protest as I swung my legs over the bed side. I sat and slowly walked to the closet moving stiffly. The brown tile was freezing under my bare feet, I hated socks so I endured. I changed into sweat pants and a red t-shirt. I walked into the bathroom afterward.

I turned on the water and splashed my face, the cool water made things calm. I gripped the sides of the sink and looked into the mirror. A pale face and golden brown eyes met my own. My mom said I was pretty but I try not to think about it much. I have a bit of curves, so what? It doesn't change the fact boys still pester me. I was a little bit paler though. I pulled my hair back ready to put in a messy bun then like a cold and horrid reminder two marks resided on my neck. I gasped and edged away from the sink, I put a hand over my mouth staring at my neck. 

Then it all came came back to me, the man, the biting, the flash of golden light. I ran back to my bed and searched through the fabric for my phone. '' Come on Come on'', I hissed through my teeth and finally my fingers grazed the cool surface of the phone. '' Gotcha!'' With relief I speed dialed Layla. I started pacing ( Something i've done ever since I was little ). '' Hurry up Layla. Pick up pick up." A sleepy hello rang out. " Layla I need to talk to you now! Something- something crazy happened to me and-." She cut me off, " Whoa girl, slow your roll." 

I sighed and gritted my teeth. " I was attack-." I was cut off again this time by a loud banging on the door. " One minute'', I yelled out and said a quick sorry to Layla. '' Wait, RENEE!". I hung up and opened the door exasperated, " What?" 

A man and woman both clothed in midnight blue and and black stood in the door way. The woman wore a tight fitting dress with big red lips. While the man was handsome and had a look that said " Money. Power, and don't mess with me''.  I hesitated and slammed the door shut, I don't know what i'm thinking but i'm pretty sure I just have a death wish. " I'm sorry what do you want? Who are you? "

A low chuckling then a sliver of silence. I took a few steps back dread making it's way into my stomach. What did they want with me? I didn't do any thing wrong, at least I don't so. Then the door splintered in and fell off it's hinges. I screamed and ran into the bathroom locking the door. My heart thundered in chest, my breath uneven. I searched around frantic for any weapon. 

'' We know your in there.'' The cool voice of the man came from outside the door. I backed up to the corner and stayed quiet. " Just come out quietly and we won't hurt you.'' I resisted the urge to snort, they didn't sound like the type who would just let you go. '' Last chance or we will use forced entry." The woman said sweetly. " Let's just break it." I heard her whisper. " Go ahead." Oh no. 

The door was ripped from the wall easily, the woman pulling it inward. I gawked and held a razor as my only line of defense. She laughed and I got flash of her elongated teeth. Pure terror surged through me at the sight and I screamed for my life. Then the woman gripped my throat and bared her fangs. " Try that again and I rip your tongue out." The man put a hand on her shoulder, " Jen, just knock her out so we can get on with this." My eyes widened, hot tears slid down my cheeks like the coward I am. She let me down and I gasped for breath then she kicked the side of my head. Again the deep blackness of unconsciousness took over.
