Vampire in Manhattan

Love bites

"You seen the animal up close" asked a short lady in the front row I was back in my dads office answering their burning questions again

"It looked like a wolf" I said not really knowing what it really was because I couldn't remember I think I seen a wolf it was all a blur maybe I passed out at the seen but that seemed highly unlikely

While I sat puzzled my dad was the main one catching fire " if these things are wolfs what are you doing to protect us" a reporter asked writing on his tiny note pad

"We will get an alert out to the people to stay off streets and some hunters to take the beast out" my dad said face stern gray hair with a hint of red frazzled all over the place

The reporters buzzed each one hungry for another story on the mayor good or bad

I looked up when another reporter tossed a question at me "you say you got attacked correct" I nodded in agreement whatever followed next wasn't going to be pretty

Standing next to my dad at his job was always hard on me but I kinda liked the politics so I had no problem with it , although my dad is going to run for mayor again next year the job always requires a spotless reputation

"Perhaps - the reporter continued you set this up to make people feel bad for you to get your father more votes next election " I opened my mouth because I wouldn't do such a thing and couldn't remember what really happened that night to give an answer

My mom took on the argument swiftly standing at her podium she looked so graceful despite the pressure

After the meeting my dad went for a drink which I noticed he had been doing since the attacks I was worried about my parents and the stress they were dealing with

When I got home around 8 it was only Saturday so I wasn't worried about any missed sleep in the front lobby a commotion was going on people gathered in circles looking at something

"Excuse me" I said pushing towards to commotion in the front the , I saw it a lady in her mid 30s laid there a significant piece gone from her neck

Blood was in a puddle all around her, and not long before Ems came and zipped her up I had now felt nauseous knowing that could have been me

The police started asking questions and one came up to me "do yo know what this means she holds up a card they had apparently showed every witness

"Keep your mouth shut" I squinted it was in very fine print I had no clue why or how a wolf would leave a note was there something I was missing

"Wh h-" I let out an strangled stuttering sound "no need ma'am we suspect that these are murders not attacks" the police woman replied

There was no was that this could be murder it would raise so many questions and neither me nor my family could answer not to mention panic

I left the lobby more confused than ever I tied my red mane back and decided not to turn on the tv until I was sane ,I laid on my bed under my duvet finally deciding to rest , until
My phone went of Kristina I groaned she had to get a grip

"Hello" my groggy voice rang through the phone

"Girl get up and listen to my this" she sounded drunk

"Your voice is slurring more than mine where are you" I asked timidly

"Club city" she said almost sounding death to her own voice

" be there in a sec" I said rolling out of bed

It had been along day but I knew Kristina and every time I had never regretted picking her up mostly because she was always in trouble I pulled out my tiny brown leather jacket and zipped it I found an old pair of blue jeans and leather boots to match
