Life Is Strange: A Twilight Werewolf FanFiction (on hold)

[15] Chapter Fifteen

“Yeah, what’s your point?” Rena shrugged, stepping behind the counter and tying on a half apron. “Just sit on that stool and don’t move, got it?”

I nodded, taking the seat she was gesturing to. There was a man in his twenties sitting a couple stools down from me. He turned and gave me a wink. I had to admit, he was kind of cute. “Hey beautiful, hows about we go somewhere together?” And drunk.

“Hows about you take your sorry assed self and go sober up?” I smiled sweetly at him and watched as he grimaced and stumbled back to his original spot.

“Wow, if I hadn’t known better, I’d have said that wasn’t your first encounter with a drunk perv at a bar.”

“Yeah, well, then you’d be very, very wrong.”

Rena pulled a glass out from under the counter and splashed in some red liquid, grabbing a nozzle and spraying in a clear fizzy soda. A couple of cherries and she handed me the glass. Swishing it around, I inquired, “This isn’t alcoholic, right?”

She laughed, “Of course not! It’s a kiddie cocktail.”

“Good.” I took a swig and sighed at the familiar taste. “Man, I missed these. Dad used to buy me one every time we went out to eat.” I gazed into the glass, welcoming the wonderful memories. Rena was called away by some guy, so I just waited patiently for her return. Before I knew it, I was thinking about Seth and everyone again. I pushed them away and indulged myself in my drink. No use in crying over something that’s done and over.

The bell on the door chimed and I turned to see who had walked in. My breath caught in my throat and my eyes bulged out of my head. Standing in the doorway was the vamp who had made my life hell.

I pulled my hat down and ran to the bathroom in the back of the bar. He didn’t see me, right? The bathroom was a one-person, so I locked the door behind me and stood over the sink, my heart racing a million miles a minute. I looked up into the mirror and subconsciously traced the scar on my neck. Why the hell is he here?

Staying like that for another 20 minutes, I thought about Rena and how she was probably wondering where I was by now. I took the chance to peek out the door to see what was going on. He was sitting where I had been when he walked in. He was talking to Rena, who was smiling and laughing. No, I thought, just leave her alone.

His upper torso muscles tightened and his head slowly turned in my direction. I slammed the door shut and locked it, leaning against it, hoping and praying that he hadn’t seen me. A moment later, there was a soft knock at the door. Shit.

The door handle jiggled a few times before I heard the sounds of someone picking the lock. Soon the handle jiggled again, but this time it opened. I got off the door and stood by the sink. He looked at me with a sick grin on his face.

“My my, it’s seems we’ve met again me lovely.”

I opened my mouth to scream, but his hand covered it before any sound could come out.

“Now now, let’s be a good girl. We remember what happened last time, don’t we?” I nodded, fear enveloping my entire body. My legs were shaking while he started pulling on my wrist. “Come on, let’s leave quietly, shall we?” Without a final word, we made our way to the door without anyone noticing.

The streets were quiet now, no cars or people in sight. There was one street light looming overhead lighting the way to the alley behind the bar. I could hear the vamp snickering, probably thinking about what he was going to do this time. We stopped at the dead end and he turned to me. To my surprise, he was actually handsome. He must have been at least 18. If he was still alive, I swear, he could’ve been a model.
