Being Elijah Jones

Chapter 1

-Rome, Italy-

The ray of the sunlight was peeking through the gaps in the window shades, I opend my eyes to feel that burn of the sunlight on my eyes, It took a couple of seconds to get used to the lighting. After that I dragged myself to the kitchen of the hotel where I saw Randall, Randall was like a brother to me, like me he was forced into turning by a pretty girl, except he is a werewolf, which means he's short tempered, and he's a little stonger than me. We met back in 1955 where there were hot rods and greaser's, there was a mass murder in Chicago. I murdered women every night, but I knew those murders wasn't me, the broken bones and thick black hair left at the crime scene meant werewolf. I had to find him because he's taking my kill, once I tracked him down I was a little bit intimidated , his heavy breathing, and his sweat drenched thick black hair. He looked at me and gave out a big grin and he said "Ah, the vampire", he slowly turned back to human, and his voice came back to normal, not like the deep dark growls. He sniffed the air and said " young vampire". He was asking for a beat down,he kept on smiling and laughing but then he left, I said "wait,why are you leaving?!" then he said "your not worth my time". That was it , I threw out a punch and he stopped it when it was a couple inches from his face, his nails dugged deep into my skin, I was trying not to show any pain because I didn't want him to see me weak like that, good thing he released his hand from mine in time before I was about to break down.He took one last laugh and left.Throught the years of traveling we ran into eachother, we slowly became friends and traveled the world with eachother. All was good, but when we were in Alabama, he changed, he stopped killing women, now he kills one wild animal for his meal. For me, I grew stronger and much more clever so I killed more women each and every night,I would lure women to the hotel, after sex I would feed, then snap there necks, i watch women fall to the floor everynight. The weird thing is, I don't know why Randall stays with me.

Once I got to the kitchen i said "good morning" to Randall, he quickly replied "it's 2:00p.m", I replied by "and your point is?", he gave out a sigh and said "long night,huh?",I yawned and said "yeah, she was a runner", he gave me a long stare, like he always does whenever I say something i wasn't supposed to, he said "well what do you expect when a man is coming at you trying to kill you?" I gave a sarcastic look and said " haha,very funny" in a very sarcastic tone, he ignored what I said then replied saying "whatever, you got your tux for the mayor's ball for tonight?". Oh yeah, we had to become really good friends with the mayor so we could get more money so when I kill, me and Randall can quickly leave the scene to another country, and so we could stay in a five star hotel. I replied saying "ummmm, yeah" he gave me the stare again and i gave him a huge giant smile.

-The ball-

As usual the mayor's ball was held at a mansion with elegant decor, fancy rich people,and almost the whole town was their. Me and randall had to look like those rich people so we slick are thick curls out of the way, and of course we shaved because Randall always makes me. Once the servant opened the door for me and Randall we saw the giant chandeliers and the massive crowd of people chattering and laughing. The first thing me and Randall had to do was head straight to the mayor, Randall had already knew the mayor, thats why he invited us to the ball. Randall "ran into" the Mayor and became good friends with him. I had to plaster a smile on my face and shake his hand , me and Randall had to learn italian to get are way through the city, i say a quick "ciao" and nod to whatever else he was saying, the rest of the conversation I dozed off, hearing a little bit of the mayor and Randall talking and laughing. I took a look around the room and I saw a girl in a red dress,she was sitting down by herself and held a glass of champagne in her hand, I thought to myself that she was my next kill, I could hear her slow breathing and her pulse beating. I quietly slipped out of the mayor's group and headed straight to the girl in the red dress. I smilled seductively and said "ciao", before I could say my next line Randall grabbed my wrist and pulled me out to the balcony, away from the crowd. He was frustrated at me, then he blurted out saying "Elijah, you will not fuck this up for us!, I worked my ass off just to save you,and your gonna pay me back by killing more!? Sometimes I think why the hell am I with you?, when I could've left your ass on the streets! Do you know how much fucking time I have to put in just to not get caught because of you?! You are a selfish asshole who won't even care about your best friend who has saved you from all of the shit you have done!" he breathed heavily after that, I could see his five o'clock shadow grow in, whenever he gets really mad he turns into wolf mode, he quickly calmed himself down to stop the transformation, before I could say anything he said "Your ass better get it together", then he stormed back into the party and acted like nothing happened between us. I never seen him like that before, he got me infuriated that I didn't want to talk, i quickly stormed out of the mansion to go back to the hotel. Once i got there I stayed in the room and flipped through channels, I kept on replaying that scene over and over again in my head. The thought of it made me angrier and angrier. I soon fell asleep, trying to forget what he said.
