Tricks ( LONG TERM HIATUS)

Chapter 2

I woke up shaking and sweating. Another damn nightmare. They have been getting worse. Ever since I was nine years old, I've has a nightmare, they are all about how my family dies in horrendous ways, and what's sad is two family members are dead. All I have is John.

I reached for my phone while yawning. One I grasped it turned it on and checked the time. 9:24 a.m. September 29. Holy Shit it's Johns and ours birthday! And the ceremony, it starts in a half hour! I jumped out of bed running to John's room. I slammed the door open.

I went over to him and violently shook him. Still sleeping. You see, my dear brother doesn't get the idea of waking up. He's like a bear in hibernation, except it's all year round. He doesn't get the concept of waking up in the morning.

I knew there was only one way to wake him.

I slapped him hard across the face. " Get up John! We have the ceremony today and I'm not missing it because of your lazy arse!"

He groaned but got up. He knows who's boss. That's right, the one and only, Savannah Johnson! I'm boss at everything. From sports to Mario Kart. He could never beat me. Except at strength. He's got me there.

" I'm up! Geesh, your violent today."

" We only have a half an hour to get to the ceremony. Come on!" I exclaimed.

I used my awesome special vampire speed to get to my room. Yeah, I got special powers. I know your jelly. I changed into a a white top with ruffles and tight black jeans. I put on a black jacket and black flats. I picked up a white clutch purse also. We can only wear black and white to the event.

I walked into our living room. It was a big room with red couches, a HD TV, and a black coffee table. I saw John on the couch, his feet propped up on the coffee table. He had on a white dress shirt with a black tie, and black dress pants. His hands were shaking and his bright green eyes were full of nervousness. He had a small frown on his face.

He surprised me by saying, " Vanna, I don't know if we are ready. I'm nervous and I don't know why."

" John, we will be ok. I promise."

He smiled a bit and nodded. I knew he was still nervous though. Heck I was starting to lose excitement and gain nervousness. No! No, I can't back out now. Not now.

" You ready to go?"

He nodded. We took each other's hands and I snapped my fingers. We weren't home anymore, we are now in a subway in New York. Screw cars and planes, I can transport anywhere, for free. Though I never get any plane peanuts though, which is saddening.

We let go of our hands and started walking towards a wall. I put muy hand out in front of me, and went through the wall, into the Vampire Great Hall. The VGH ( Vampire Great Hall) is the like the Capitol around the world for vampires. It was made out of dark mahagony, with red walls and paintings of "famous" ( not really just some old guy who did something for the government) vampires. It was majestic to say the least.

We walked into the waiting room and checked in with the mean old lady at the desk. Let me just say, he fangs are scarily long and she's ugly. Like, she has zit on the tip of her witch nose and a wart right on her neck and forehead. She also is one of the few vampires with wrinkles.

John and I sat in the dinky waiting room. It had old furniture that felt like it would break any second and the paint on the wall was white with dirty yellow streaks. Yeah, maintenance didn't care about this room.

Two hours passed by. Ceremonies take forever, everyone has a ceremony for ten minutes.

Oh my God I should of brought my phone. I could have played candy crush! That game is addictive man. I need to beat Level 376!

The speakers turned on. " John Johnson." I stifled a laugh. His name is so funny every time I hear it. I mean, John Johnson? That's unoriginal. He glared at me because he knew what I was laughing about. He then entered through the double doors.

I waited for ten minutes, thinking of The Legend of Zelda. I think the best one is Ocarina of Time but Twilight Princess is close I mean Midna is one of the best companions and all...

The speaker interrupted my thoughts. " Savannah Johnson." Well, it's now or never. I entered through the doors. There was a long big desk at the end of the big room with two black and white pillars next to it. The floor had a design which I'm not sure what it is. Looks like some squiggly and blurred lines. I hate these blurred lines!

The old people at the desk who I don't care to remember their names interrupted my song.

" Savannah Ella Johnson, you are of age, to be a full fledged vampire. A grown adult, one who needs to defend her government, one who defends her kind..."

Blah blah blah. Yawn, some more random junk for the next 7 minutes. Young padwans, a life lesson for you all, when you are stuck in a boring ceremony, you bring your phone to play Candy Crush. Learn from my mistakes.

" Do you accept these requirements?"

" I do."

" Wonderful, now you must suck the blood of a human criminal, who has offended us vampires deeply. Bring in James Anderson."

What. This was not on the brochure for the ceremony...

" This young human, killed a vampire, while they were trying to feed off of him."

Wonder why! If I was going to get my blood sucked, I would happily let them! Note the damn sarcasm.

" He will now be put to death by Savannah Johnson."

What just happened?! I now have to murder a human? I just want to watch my SpongeBob man.

Two vampires and a human came through the doors. The vampires were dragging a limp and bloody human, who was fighting consciousness. Is this what they do?! I was so furious right now. This guy has done nothing wrong!

The two vampires threw him to the ground my my feet. I was disgusted by the vampires. And I would be disgusted at myself if I did this.

I couldn't kill him.

I wouldn't.
