Falling for the beast - short story (completed)

One

Gauri Kumari Sharma

My heels were clicked along the side walk as I walked with a tear stained cheeks .
Tonight was the prom and I just saw him with another girl.
Sorry , I forget to introduce my high school crush Siddarth, my crush.
I couldn't take it anymore, so even though my was a-bit far from the school I decided to walk rather than asking my friend to give a ride when she was having so much fun.

Great way to end your high school year right ! Sigh.

I sniffed and wipe my cheeks , thank god my make up was waterproof or I would look like mess right now. The street were deserted and I wanted to reach home as soon as possible.

I thought today night will be one of those cliche prom night in which the boyfriend as the girl ask the girl to dance and then a slow song come they kiss,go to the same college and live happily ever after but I guess I was wrong , there's no such thing as happy ending , they only exist in fairytale movies .

Halfway home. I saw a park , I supposed  to reach home by 11 and it was 10 right now . I decided to go to the swing to clear my mind before returning home and to save myself from answering the questions my mother would ask if she saw my stained cheeks.

I went to the swing and I had the feeling that I've been watched . I looked here and there but no one was there .
Maybe it was bad idea to stay here .

I got up from the swings and grabbed my clutch taking out my hand phone just in case .
Suddenly I feel a gush of air and a cold wind on my neck as if someone was .......breathing ?
I hurriedly turn around but there was nothing there .
How is that even possible?  Okay now I was freaking out.
I hurried took my hand phone and dialled my mother number but as soon as I looked up , I saw a figure standing infront of me .

I screamed and the figure was infront of me , in a millisecond snatching the hand phone from my head throwing it on the wall , breaking it into pieces.
Suddenly I feel a hard blow on the back of my head  and everything went black.

I groan as I move on what feels like a mattress . My head was about to burst and I feel like nauseous.
Where am I ?

I open my eyes but I see nothing . The memories of last , still fresh on my mind .
Why would someone do that ?

I consciously get up from bed but still not able to see anything yet . I extend my arms infront of me , so that I don't collided with anything. I walk abit further till my hand touch a smooth , cold and smooth surface . A wall .

With the help of the wall, I tried to find the door .
Soon enough my hand found a wooden surface which probably was the door . I wanted to dance with happiness but I know that could wait .
First I need to get out from here .

Hopefully I brought my hand where the door knob supposed to be but I don't find it .
I rub my hand all over the door but still there is no door knob. How is that even possible?

Shattered I make my way back to the bed carefully not collide with anything.
Tears were falling down my face for being helpless at the time like this .

After a few minute , I could hear the door burst open . At that time I could see everything, it's like I got my vision back .  I could see a woman walks with 3 other girls which about same age with me .
All of them were inhumanly pale , more sort like ghosts.
Wait a minute , I'm not dead right .
I checked pinching my own skin .
I could still feel the pain , which mean I'm not .

The woman faces the three girls and says "Get her ready , she's next"

Wait a minute, get her ready ? Does she mean me?
Get me ready for where ? What does she even mean?
For heaven sake , where the hell I am.

I looked her confused as she nod at the girls leaving the room. The girls come near me and eye me from top to bottom , while circling around me like vultures.

"What you guys doing? I asked as my breath quickens.

They smirked at me and before I know it lunged at me. I close my eyes tightly while covering my face with my arms waiting for a blow or any sort of pain but nothing came. I felt a little tugging on my arms and hair but not anything painful. I looked at myself and saw that I'm no longer on my old clothes but now I'm wearing a backless back dress which is was extremely short for my liking with black high heels.
My raven hair were curled and pinned so the were failing on my shoulder.
But the most shocking thing was how they did that in just a few second without me feeling a thing .

I looked at place where the 3 girls were standing but now there was only one there . She was eyeing from the top to bottom , admiring her work . Just as she was about to leave , I asked her .

"What are you?"

She smiled at me , showing what look like a fangs.

Oh god !

She replied in heavy Spanish accent "vampiro"

That's when I know that one word meant .....vampire.
