A THIRST FOR HER

A THIRST FOR HER Chapter 1 (Lucas)

Chapter 1 (Lucas)

When I wake up I'm in a room I don't recognise and it smells really bad.

"Where the hell am I?" I whisper to no one but myself.

Memories of being attacked start to flood my mind and I jump up from the make shift bed I was lying on.

I have absolutely no idea how I got here and I begin to fear I may of been kidnapped.

Something doesn't feel right. Surely after the beating I took I should be in a really bad way.

I lift my hand to feel the back of my head expecting to find a huge gash, but instead I feel nothing. It doesn't even hurt to touch and I'm really confused.

In fact I feel pretty good all things considered.

My throat is killing me though, I have this scratchy burning sensation in the back of my throat and so I head towards the sink so I can drink some water.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" a strange voice says from behind me and scares the shit out of me. I slowly turn around and practically fall on my ass when i get a look at the person stood before me.

He's tall with messy black hair and bright red eyes. He's dressed all in black and when he smiles his teeth look to be razor sharp.

"Who the fuck are you?" I ask trying to sound brave but failing miserably.

"Settle down buddy, I'm not going to hurt you, I'm Drake I live here. I found you last night and thought it best I bring you back here. You took quite a battering, how are you feeling today?" he asks.

"Confused" I answer honestly. "So if I took such a battering then how come I don't have a mark on me? Apart from a really dry throat I feel fine.

"Well all of the injuries you sustained during the attack have healed during the transition". Drake explains.

"What are you talking about? what do you mean transition?, all I know is that last night I was beaten to a pulp and yet this morning i don't have a scratch on me. I feel different but I'm not sure why."

"Your right, last night you were badly beaten and when I found you barely conscious. You were bitten by a vampire and the venom from that bite healed your wounds. The only visible marks are the two bite marks on the side of your neck." He says.

I lift my hand and feel my neck and to my utter astonishment I can feel them.

"Oh shit!" I yell.

"How in the hell did this happen to me? I have to get out of here."

I can feel myself beginning to lose it, I'm in a complete panic and I have no idea what to do.

"My parents will be freaking out, I have to get home." I say to Drake feeling completely helpless.

"You need to calm down, what's your name kid?" Drake asks me.

"Lucas" I snap back.

"You need to listen to me Lucas, if you go out there now its gonna be a bloodbath. Your a vampire now, the burning in your throat is normal, its because you need to feed. I can help you if you'll let me."

I have this uncontrollable rage building up inside of me, I start pacing the floor back and forth. I think I'm going to throw up. Where do I go? What do I do? I think to myself and then I head for the door and...........run.

I run out of Drakes flat and don't look back, I run straight through the city centre in a complete frenzy. People stop and stare at me with sheer panic on there faces and I have no idea why. Surely I don't look that bad, do I? I don't stop though, I just keep on running.
