Save Me

E L E V E N

My head was pounding. I cracked my eyes opened and groaned. It was still dark and I could hear the fire crackling. I pushed my hands theough the dirt and leaves until they hit water and I squealed. Sitting up, I saw that I was beside the lake. My hair was wet along with my clothes that were sticking to my body. One of my shoes were missing and the other lay a few feet away.

The music had stopped and so had the talking. There was almost silence. I felt a sting on my neck and touched it gently. Blood came away on my fingertips and I growled. Vampires.

I stood up and started to walk before I tripped over a dead vampire. She had long white hair and pale skin. My blood was on her lips. Serves the bitch right. Demon blood was poisonous.

My bare feet sunk into the mud and I sighed. Looking around, I saw a few dead teenagers. A vampire crouched over one that was half alive. I felt pity for the poor human. He would either die or be changed now. Either way he was dead.

His body went limp and the vampire stood up. "You're girlfriends dead" I called out to him. "Well more dead than before" I giggled and he turned slowly to face me.

The other teens must have ran as the place seemed deserted. He growled and I waved "Hey! Have we met before?" He did look familiar. He growled again and I groaned "Words. Please"

"Bitch" he hissed. "You killed my brother"

I smiled "I knew I knew you! You'rw the guy that tried to come after me and hit his head off a wall. That was a good show. Made my day"

Suddenly he lunged at me and I pulled a thin blade from my waistband. He landed on top of me and impaled himself on the point. Black blood poured onto my hand as I grabbed a stick and drove the sharp end through his heart.

His body crumpled and I shook my head. Stepping away, I wiped his blood off my blade and slid it back into my waistband. "Ryan" I called out. "Ryan!"

Did he leave me? I walked back to the car and saw it still there. He couldn't have ran. Not from a vampire.

I turned and started to feel scared. I never felt scared but now. Now was different. I started back to the lake and saw a body floating face down. Blood darkened the water around it and I waded in to my knees. Reaching out, I grabbed its arm and pulled it close. I flipped it and gasped.

"Ryan?" I said quietly. His skin was pale and cold and his eyes were wide. His mouth hung open and blood trickled from the two puncture wounds on his neck.

"He tried to save you. You picked a fight with the girl and she bit you, dragged you down here and pushed you under. Once she had sucked you dry, Ryan attacked her and tried to drown her. She killed him before dying a few moments later from your blood" the angel from before suddenly said. I jumped and held Ryan's body closer.

I stroked his cheek and frowned "He's in hell. And it's my fault"

"Guilt" The angel said "A feeling someone with satanic blood shouldn't experience. Evidence that angelic blood runs in your veins"

I growled "Leave me alone. Please"

He grinned "As you wish" and he disapeared.

I dragges his body from the lake and to the car. He was too heavy to lift up but I tried anyway. I tried until I felt like my arms would fall off. In anger I kicked the car parked beside us and left a foot sized dent in the door. Pain shot up my leg and I fell to the ground.

I leaned back against Lucifer's car and closed my eyes. I would not cry. I would not cry.

"What happened?" A voice said and I jumped. I looked around and saw Ryan sitting up facing me. I just stared at him.

"You're a... you're a..." I stuttered "You're a vampire"

His face paled even more "What?"

I started to laugh before jumping at him. "But you're not in hell!"

"No?" He said. "Why am I so hungry? And why an I wet?"

I laughed "Everything will be fine" I said and kissed him.
