"Alex?" I said, just waking up. Were was he? What was that delicious smell?
"Alex were are you?" I yelled as loud as my morning voice could carry.
I turned my head right not thinking and started runny to this smell that had a very weird good tast to it. It was almost like a foreign chocolate cake. When I came to a stop about 20 yards away from the van, I looked around. There was a little girl, i say about 5 or 6, smelling flowers. She was what smelled good. I wanted to cry. Blood. That was my life now. I try to turn around but it was just so good. The smell! Then a mans hand covered my mouth.
"shh.." Alex whispered.
He scooped me up and carried me back to the van. A second later I was sitting in the old van staring at him with so many questions.
"How old are you?" I asked, I was still very thirsty.
"Well, about 19 and a half." He said paking up some thing spread across the yard.
"No, how old are you really?" I asked.
"Well, 368." He looked at his old watch, "We have to go. "
"Why? I'm thirsty." I said looking at him.
"I know you are. Wait here, I mean it!" He sounded angry.
About 2 minutes later he had a dead dear at me.
"Drink." He said with no emotion.
My eyes were watering as I put my dead lips on the dear and drank its cold blood.
"Now," Alex said pulling the dear away, "Get in the van and lets go."
"Were are we going?" I asked.
"To get a new car. I can't be riding around in a old, dirty van with a 14 year old girl. That's a little weird, don't you think?" He looked up now.
"Yes. I have a questin. This umm being thirsty it wasn't like this when I first woke up, why?" I asked hoping into the passengers seat, as if I had done it so many times before.
"Okay, It takes 24 hours, or a day, to create a vampire. You were only at 20 when you woke up. That's why you were so tired." He got into the van and started it.
"Okay, so what about me. To the rest of the world am i just missing?" I asked.
"Yeah, and no. I had a skeleton and put it in the forest next to your house. So for the most part you went missing and now when they find that, your dead. " he looked at me. I had a tear in my eye.
"The little girl. Why was she by her self. Shes five or six. She shouldn't be left alone."
"She is the work of a deadly human, Andrew Heart. He is a vampire hunter. She was a trick."
"What else is there wizards werewolf. Come on this is so unbelievable."
"but being a vampire isn't," He turned on a main road, "Lucie, I'm so sorry for doing this to you. I really am. Now I am going to ask you to pick a name. You can't be Lucie Keller anymore."
"How about Jane. What's your last name?"
"Beltion, Bartholomew Alexander Beltion. " He said.
"Well then Jane Beltion? That's a nice name. " I said.
"You need new cloths and a shower." He said with a sort of laugh.
I looked down. Now I realized I was wearing the same black and pink dress that I wore last night or when ever that was.
"Okay so were? Do you have money?" I asked smelling my oily hair.
"Yeah. we are going to KOA camp site to take a shower but first a new outfit." He pulled into a JCPennys and he got out. "Stay" he said demanding.
"Okay what ever you say boss" I said sarcastically.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was 30 or 40 minutes of waiting when he finally came out with 2 bags of new cloths.
He opened the car door and got in.
"Black and pink are your colors, right?" He asked. He put the bags in the back and started to drive to the KOA camp site. "Shower, car, apartment." he said thinking out loud.
"Okay.... so what type of car are we getting?" I asked now almost to the camp site.
"I don't know. You pick." He smiled like my father would if he was hear.
"How about a black Camry?" I asked.
"Yeah that sounds good." we pulled into the parking lot and he got out. "I have to pay for the showers. Stay while I get the coins." He looked me straight in the eye.
"Okay," I said grabbing the bags of cloths. "but what about shampoo and conditioner?"
"I have some, I do this a lot." he said in a mysterious way.
When he got back we got out of the van and he gave me a little bad of stuff to wash off with: shampoo, conditioner, soap, a wash towel, toothpaste, toothbrush, a women's razor, sharing cream, and a towel.
"Does my hair keep growing?" I asked.
'For the first mouth but after that, no"
We took our shower and 40 minutes later we were at the van ready to go. I had a black and pink t-shirt with skinny jeans and mini high heals. Alex was wearing a black polo shirt with light jeans and men's dress shoes. He gave me sun glasses.
"Why do I need these it's the middle of winter and there is no sun out?"
"Because have you seen your eyes. There neon blue. How many people do you now that have neon blue eye?" he had a point.
I took them got into the van and we headed for a car place. we got the exact car we wanted. He had all the money in the world, it seemed like. Most people can't pay the thousands of dollors it cost for a car, but Alex did. He moved our stuff from one car to another and then drove the van to a dump site and got a taxi ride back to the black beutiful car. We then began a long journey of finding a appartment complex that would take a young guy and a 14 year old girl.
