The song for Chapter 2 : Hallucinating by Elohim

Above is Al (anime style)

When I wake up there is a circle of people around me. They are talk and whispering about me. A horrible headache phases me then my neck starts to hurt. When I put my hand to the pain there are two holes and blood around it. I scream and sit up. Everyone around me moves away. I try to get up and walk but my legs slip from under me. I cringe at the pain. "OK if no one's going to help her I will." a man walks over to me and offers his hand. "I won't bite." he says with a smile. His smile is bright but there are particular sharp teeth sticking from his gums and his eyes glow red with a dash of brown making me take my hand away. "If you don't get up they are going to leave you here to rot." he say now frowning showing how serious he was. I take his hand. He helps me stand. "My names Al, yours?". "Amy." I say hesitantly. Everyone starts to leave nodding no or saying "Is she the one?". All of this talk start to confuse me. "Don't worry about them." Al tells me. He leads me through dark halls, up some stairs, and through a maze of over grown trees that could do some trimming . After what seems like an hour of him pulling me along I stop and look at him. A dim light shines around us. "Where are you taking me?" I say trying to sound as confident as possible even though my legs are practically shaking. It feels like I have not eaten in days and is shows. My skin is so close to my bones I feel like it could choke me. "Some place. Just don't question and lets go." He grabs my hand again but with a tight grip. After a lot of trees we walk into a calm city kind of place. There are tall towers that seem to build up into space. The colors around the city seem mesmerizing. Pink, blues, and light purples dance around. "Wow." I take it all in. "We can have a tour of this 'great' city after you look like your not close to death. Plus Ill explain things. I'm guessing your pretty at sea."

We walk down a street with busy 24 hour supermarkets. Why not a normal supermarket? "Nothing makes sense here." Al says then looks back at me. "Sorry sometimes my mind wanders and picks on thing." He smiles a teeth filled smile. I smile funnily then go back to looking around. When you look at the city from afar it looks like a wounder land that you want to live in a cute cozy loft up in one of the building to see everything. That is till you look harder and zoom into it. There was a man laying dead in an ally way, a women with 2 kids holding them close and sitting on the street just wanting a cent to pay for bread. The bright lights block out what is real. Al opens a door and pulls me in then walks in him self looking around. He lets go of my hand that I did not stopped even feeling for a little, lost in the lights. "If you keep looking up you will fall down." Al says. We walk up stairs that opens up to a small hangout area. Its small but big enough room to do a cart wheel. "Hey Al!" a girl runs up to Al and jumps into a hug. She looks almost like Al but she she has a sharp nose and thin eyes that almost look closed. "And i'm guessing your the new student." she wraps me in a bear hug. It takes the wind out of me. "Oh sorry. Al told me your a little weak." She lets go and steps back. She looks at Al for a bit then me. "Ok we uh go a lot to go over. Names Abby by the way. Come sit down." She motions to a bean bag chair. "Al how about you start?" Abby looks down at the street watching the people walk back. "Ok lets get this over with. Im going to say sorry now but I did this to you." Al looks at me for a reaction. My face shows nothing but my mind buzzes. Life has been way to fast. 

"I bit you that night, I was trying to protect you." 

"Protect me?! By bringing me to this city? Biting my neck which still hurts?"

"Let me explain. Ok?" 

I nod and lean back wanting the explanation that will explain all of this. "What you did not know was happening around the motel you where staying in was a fight. More like a war. The people we are fighting kill other humans to get back at them for 'doing them wrong'. They would have killed you if I did not bite you to make you seem like there kind." Al stops to let me take it in. Abby comes back with black tea and hands it to me. I thank her then take a sip which turns in to me gulping it down. It has a funny flavor but its good and stops my body from punching me from the inside. Abby laughs then nods her head. She walk down the stairs and I hear the door shut. "To continue" Al says. "I made you a vampire.". I spit out my tea. When I look down the tea I though was black tea is red. The world spins. "Oh no not again." Al helps me up and sits me back down.

"You need that to get better or you will die for not eating. I know its a bit different for you but your one of us now."

"But Im not one of you horrible blood sucking...!"

Al covers my mouth. "You are one and you better except it fast. If you keep trying to not except it, you will soon be dead. So take a breath and sit your butt down." I calm down and try to take in what is happening. "You are in the middle of a war that has been going on for 100 years and you may be surprised but you may be the one to stop it."
