Just Another Vampire Story

Collateral

 I took my steps in slowly towards the living room, all the while whipping my head around to see if someone is anywhere there. I took my time absorbing my surroundings once more before I sat in the chair. Troy is in the kitchen and I can hear Hayden in the room. I don't think I want to face him right now. I don't want to face anyone for that matter. I let my mouth let go of the frustrated breathe I was holding in and hid my disoriented face in my hands and rested my elbows on my knees.

 My legs were shaking causing my hands to twitch against my face. I supressed the groan forming in my throat and shot up my seat. I stood in front of the uncovered window and gazed through it. What the hell was going with me?

 My mind did not get the chance to bomb away the questions; Troy walked in.

 "I don't suppose you can explain what the fuck was that." He stood in the door way crossing his arms together. A glum face he showed. Why was he mad, again?

 "No. I can't." I replied just as annoyed as he looked. Inside, I felt like just to hell with it and punch someone or something already or maybe cry it out. I want to let it out but I don't know how. "How the hell am I supposed to know why was that monster stalking me?" I yelled. I was actually raising my voice at him. I felt like I only have a light push before I start to scream. "I don't expect you to know the slightest bit of how I feel, but the least you can do is act a little sympathetic, you asshole!" Yeah, I was loud and I did not give a damn.

 "I am being sympathetic! I helped you out when you needed. You did call me, remember?" What did that have to do with why he's pissed?

 "And I appreciate your help before, even if you're making me regret it just now. I called for you the other time for help because I knew you'd be the one who can get him off me. He was practically eating and fucking at the same time!" I threw my hands aggressively in the air. I sighed as I rubbed my forehead, "I really don't feel like taking this crap from you. I don't even think the least that I have to."

 He glared at me. He wasn't like that when it first happened. Why is he upset now? And why is he taking it out on me? "What happened? Before. What really happened? He wouldn't just come at you twice for no reason, cause most of us just don't do that unless we were provoked."

 I was drowning. Really, this guy kicks me off my guard like I'm nothing. I didn't want to tell him about it. I never want to talk about it so why should I tell him of all people?

 Why would I even provoke that man? I didn't know him. I didn't have the smallest clue he would be a sick twisted vampire, either!

 I know you.

 My head snapped up at Troy. The man had said he knew me. But how? Would it help if I told Troy? "Are you going to tell me or not?" He interrupted my little brainstorm.

 I swallowed the bile as I recollected the damned event. "He attacked me." I said so slowly. "I didn't do anything." I yelled again and went on with it because, in all honesty, I didn't care anymore. I am too angry so I yelled some more, "He fucking grabbed me by the hair and slammed me against the wall in the alley and sucked my blood off my neck." Somewhere inside my mind, I couldn't believe the words coming out of my mouth. "I screamed so hard but he had his hand on my fucking mouth." I straightened my back and rested my hand just above my stomach. "I knew you'd be the one fast enough to get there. You were the only one stronger than me." I snickered through my nose, "you were the only vampire, apart from me and him, that was practically twelve yards away from me."

 I could see the side of his mouth twitch, but he still kept the death glare and cleared his throat. "I'm sorry."

 I scoffed. "You don't look like it."
