My Neighbor Is A Vampire

Chapter 5

As the last bell rang I tried to get out of the building as fast as I could. But as soon as I made it to the side south doors Grayson stopped me, "hay why were Katrina and you acting crazy." I said nothing for a long moment. I mold it over in my mind then replied in a shaky voice, " You know how I get around girls." He looked at me puzzled and finally said, "Yes I guess that was just it." But Grayson still don't sound shore of it. We began walking as I put my hand on the door and pushed it open. No soon did we step outside did Katrina appear calling my name, "Mason, mason we should walk home together." So Grayson added " I should go cheach my bus." He paused then add just before fading behind the buses, " see you later dude." "See ya dude." I said back at Grayson. Katrina and I began walking left to the side walk that lead to a shirt cut. " Hay this isn't the way." Said Katrina in a shaky voice. " I know it's a short cut shaves us five minutes." I added. "Ok." She shrugged at me. Are block was almost behind the school and we had to take an ally way. It leads us to a creek that we had to take then to are block. It saved us from walking all the way around the school then six block to miedo street. We walk for a few minutes in silence then she began to talk.
" Yes, I'm a vampire, and no I'm not scared of sunlight." I stop and look at her it was the first time she had said it out loud. I shook of the school of what she had just said and down played it. "Yes, you kind of told me that earlier." There we begin to walk. " Yes I know but I had to say it out loud for you to believe me." Katrina said in a breathless voice. She toke in a long breathe then added, " I'm a hundred years old, I was made in nineteen sixteen." I looked at her and was in aww. " You don't look a day over sixteen." I said in a joking voice. "I know right." She joked right back at me. Just then we had to cross the creek bank. we hoped over the big concrete Stones, I helped Katrina cross." Once one the other side Katrina asked me a question, "You wanna know how I became a vampire?" I said nothing for a short moment as my heart began to race fast. " Yes." I finally said in a choking voice. There she began to tell her story.
  " I was sixteen and married to a tall well respected business man. Mark loved me with all his Hart but he couldn't protect me from them. The strangers that came to take over are farm. There were not human you see. They were as today's people call them creators of the night. They toke all of mark and left him for dead. But me the leader toke me and made me what I am today, a vampire." Katrina said nothing for a long moment. And before we were to emerge on to are street she stopped to cry. And through her tears I knew she was ether morning her love or her past life, ether way still sad.
Then after her tears had dried we began to move now down are street. Then Katrina look over at me and said, " You look like Mark, you Mason could be mark." My heart was beating and pumping in over drive I was speechless. I couldn't say a thing my mouth was servilely dry. But I dad say something finally, " Me no way." There Katrina pulled from under her shirt a locket. She slowly opened it to reveal a picture that look like me. But the man in the picture had on olden day close on. I'd never had a picture like that taken. Then in a soft voice she added, " I've come for you my love." "Hay, no I'm nobody's love." I trow out at her. "Yes, yes you are, your my love, my belove it Mark."
I began to walk slow then picked up speed. But the faster I moved the faster Katrina moved. She was keeping perfect speed. " Hay mason I didn't mean to freak you out." She yelled from behind me.
I wanted to yell live me alone but I felt said for her. So I stopped running and turned to her. " Katrina, I can't be Mark." I paused to gather my thoughts.
"I'm Seventeen and your a hundred years old. I was born on may sixth nineteen ninety eight." Looking at me with sad eyes she said, " I thought you might wanna be with me, I thought you were my love." For the second time she began to cry. As I reached out to soothe her she was gone.
