Falling In Love With David - complete

3: Bloodlust

I was led to a bonfire where Surf Nazis were dancing around a bonfire and blaring their music. They instructed me to watch, listen, and wait.

They flew down from the sky and screams filled the air. I felt a hunger inside me. A thirst for human blood. I knew what I was now. And I knew what they were. Vampires.

They called for me to join them. I did. There was pain in my stomach. One I knew would go if I fed from them.
"Initiations over Bailey, time to join the club."

One of the surfers was thrown down by my feet. I didn't hesitate to tear into his throat. His screams filled the air and died down slowly. The human in me knew it was slaughter and murder. But I was so hungry.

I knew it was horrible. The feeling would pass as it was part of me now. I was a full vampire. I would never grow old. I would never die a mortal death. I would live among them now.

I understood why Michael was cold and distant. Did they trick him into drinking and he happened to cave into the hunger? Causing him to kill a human and become a full vampire? David said this was how we joined. Whether he liked it or not Michael was a vampire.

I got a bike that night. Before we left the boardwalk they fixed the engine to go faster quicker. "Ready for the first night of your new life?"

"Totally."

We hung out at parties the rest of the night. I knew I had to tell those two comic book owners I wouldn't be back. "David."

"Hmm?"

"I'm going to go back to the boardwalk."

"Why?"

"I need to tell those Frog Brothers I'm quitting."

He relaxed. I hadn't noticed he was tense before. "Of course, should we come along?"

"If you want."

We rode all the way there going at neck breaking speeds. And we didn't get hurt at all.

We got there quickly. David and the others stayed outside the shops. Apparently they'd gotten into trouble with one of the store owners before.

I walked in and Allen was immediately by me. "Your late."

"I was out."

"With who?"

"Friends."

"That motorcycle gang?"

"Why do you care?"

"They're dangerous Bailey."

"So am I. You think I don't know how to protect myself?"

"Bailey, before you go, careful with that group, they never stray into the sunlight. And I've noticed missing posters of them. From thirty years ago. Be careful out there. Get to work now."

"I came to say I'm quitting. I found a better job. One that fits my life style better."

"Honey, you don't have a life style."

I felt my face burn. "Like you'd know"

Allen called Edgar over. "You think she's one of them now?"

"Am I one of what." They started whispering to each other and I took the chance to look outside. David jerked his head. I knew I had to go.

I shook my head slightly and gave him a pleading look. Edgar turned to me. Allen headed to the back room. "So Bailey, you feeling tired during the day? Feeling hunger pains that won't be satisfied?"
