Part 3 .....Hunger.....

"I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, but let's talk about this in the morning", "No!", zerin silently screamed at me, "Don't underestimate the power that's radiating from you, you have to understand what's going on, or this new strength of yours could lead to your corruption really soon". I was tempted to just walk away and chalk this event up to my teenage hormones making me hallucinate, but the serious look on Zerin's face showed me it'd be better if I stuck around. "Alright", I said, "I'll hear you out, but don't bullshit me, tell me just the facts", Zerin said, "Facts are going to sound ridiculous right now, do you trust me to tell you the truth?", "Well", I said, "Seeing as you're my only friend in this godforsaken town, I guess I have no choice in the matter", "It's either I believe your crap and this nightmare continues, or I go back to sleep friendless". "Yeah that seems about right, so listen up young'un, I have to tell you a bit about the situation you're in", he chuckled to himself at the word "Bit", I didn't see what was so funny but whatever. "The situation is this, you are a vampire, a nocturnal hunter who is superior to his prey in every way, but that doesn't mean you're invincible", "Being a vampire is an amazing experience, but you have to be responsible for your actions, beating up your bully because it feels good is a great way to found by vampire hunters, yes, they do exist in this day and age, and they are just as effective as they ever were, in fact more so since the increase in technology makes us easier to spot and kill, just liking tagging and slaughtering cattle". "So what am I supposed to do?", being staked didn't sound fun, so I had to ask a really important question, "How am I a vampire?, don't you only become a vampire after being bitten by one?", "Not exactly" Zerin said, "I transfered my blood into one of your veins, by blood fused with yours and once they fused together my blood had burned itself into your dna strand, my blood searched for the inefficiencies in your dna, this is why those positive changes were made, when I first turned you, you were going through the beginning stages which didn't make you notice but tonight when you felt that pain is the moment when you became a full vampire, so it's time to teach you a few things about being a vampire". "You hungry?" he asked, I was, and it wasn't normal for me to be hungry at this time of the night, but, nothing was normal at the moment, with two teenage boys talking silently in the restroom at night about being vampires, I didn't feel that this situation was going to get any better, well I was about to find out. "Life has already changed for you hasn't it?", he asked me, "But, you've only seen the positive effects of vampirism, there is only one negative physical effect to vampirism, but it's a doozy, the only way to retain your strength and not succumb to the blood-lust, is to give in to it every once in a while, you need to drain someone of their life, of all the blood they have in their body, so that you may be as a god among men". "So, you mean to tell me that I have to go around sucking people dry, just so that I don't go insane?", "Yup, that about sums it up in a nutshell", "Well that blows, have you been doing that since you got in town?", "Yes, but only twice, a vampire needs only to feed  to sustain themselves, no more, otherwise it's like a dose of super steroids for vampires, you'll be exponentially more powerful, intelligent, and fast, but the dark side to it is that if you cannot keep up your food source, you will be enveloped in your own strength and your body will consume itself, ironically in a form of self-defense to keep you at top shape, it will destroy you, physically and mentally". "So, when am I supposed to make my first kill?, I would rather I don't go insane during my sophomore year and kill everyone". "Well then your first victim is Derek".
