Dark Romance

Far From Home

4 DAYS LATER~WEDNESDAY

"Don't you think it's weird?" I asked Shiriah, closely eyeballing the new kids. They were at a lunch table sitting together. They talked, but occasionally. Barely. They just were on their phones. They didn't get food, nor did they bring any, which most high school students did. But with them, they left at lunch every day precisely at 11:10. No later, no sooner.

"Yeah. Maybe they eat out." Shiriah said drinking her milk.

"But the staff won't allow that. They'll think they're skipping school." I said while looking at her. When I looked back at them they were all staring at me.

All of them gave me a long cold stare. Like they were possessed.

I got scared and looked back at my lunch. When I looked back at them they were gone. I looked at my phone.

11:10.

"Ima get a Gatorade."I lied while getting up from the table.

"Iight see you in class."She said while getting up and throwing her lunch away.

I decided to follow them. I snuck out of the back of the school and ran to the front. I saw their black convertible speeding off. I ran to my car and followed them.

I followed them distant though. I didn't want them to know I was following them. I stayed 2 cars behind. They turned into a dark alley, and I kept driving until I drove across the entrance, so they couldn't see me. I walked into the alley prepared for what was next. I had my phone and my pepper spray.

I walked into the dark part, but it was light enough to see what they were doing. They were crouched over with their backs turns towards me. I heard rats squeal. I stepped on a chip bag and they shot their necks towards me.

They were eating rats?!

I was in shock and decided to try to run away, but my feet weren't going anywhere. Hands were on my arms, and everything went black.

We held her back from walking into the light once she saw us. Ray punched her and she knocked out. We couldnt go back into the light, so we ran around back all the way to our house. Our real house.

I heard faint noises. Talking. Arguing.

Where am I? Why am I not at school? Who are these unfamiliar voices?

"What do we do with her?! She can't just go missing like the others! People actually care about her!" One of the voices yelled. I couldn't open my eyes.

"Its her fault for being so nosy! Nobody told her ass to follow us!" Another one yelled. Am I trapped with them?

"Well we could bite her and then leave her body in the open. They think she's dead and we take her back so she doesn't end up killing anyone since she will be a newborn."

"No, stupid, they'll either bury or cremate her. And if we take her back they'll wonder where the body went."

"Let's just kill her then."

Kill me?!

"Nah. She might be useful."

I barely opened my eyes and saw them. All 4 of them. Talking above me. Fangs?! The one with the braids looked down at me and saw I was awake.

"Look" He said while he leaned closer and closer. All of them looked down and stared.

"Why did you follow us?!"The one with the golden tips yelled.

I tried to jump up and run past them, but they all pushed me back down. One grabbed handcuffs and only handcuffed my hands. They held my legs down.

"FUCK YOU! LEAVE ME ALONE!"I yelled at them causing them to laugh.

"We're actually trying to help you. We've decided on not killing you. So shut up and be thankful." The one with the afro said.

"Its your fault you're in this situation in the first place. Being nosy"The one with the fade yelled, pointing his finger in my face.

"ALL OF YOU WILL ROT IN HELL!!"I yelled belligerently.

"Listen here. We are helping you. So I suggest you shut the fuck up and cooperate. Its not like you're near home."The one with the braids scoffed.

"Who are you?!"

"I'm Jacob. Call me Prince."The one with the afro pointed to himself. "That's Rayan, known as Ray."He explained as he pointed to the braids. "This is Chresanto. Call him Roc."He pointed to Goldie Locks. "That's Elijah. Call him Ej." He pointed to the one with the fade.

"....what are you?"I asked while raising an eyebrow.

"How could you not have figured it out by now?"Roc laughed. I tried to think but I was overcome with panic and fear.

"We're Vampires. You will be one soon."Ray said while licking his lips hungrily.

I cried.

I'm scared. I don't want to leave my old life. Carlos. Shiriah. T' Yonna. Matthew. This can't be happening.

"Awee what's wrong? Can't handle the consequences of your actions?"Prince taunted.

"Please....take me home.....I can't leave my life...."I pleaded. They laughed.

"You followed us. Curiosity killed the cat."Roc spat at me.

"I won't tell anyone about this when I get home-"

"What do you mean when you get home? You're never going back." Ej chuckled.

"So, do you want to be bitten today or tomorrow?" Prince asked while smiling evilly.

"Fuck you......fuck all of you..... I HOPE THE WORST POSSIBLE THINGS HAPPEN TO YOU!!! I HATE YOU ALL!!!"I yelled trying to hold back tears. I put my head down. They all laughed and they were gone by the time I put my head up.

I cried silently until I couldn't anymore. Why me? I'm so stupid. I should've minded my business.

"I'll do anything....please take me home..."I whispered to myself.

I looked at the handcuffs and moved uncomfortably. I could slide them off these poles on the bed if I stood up and put my hands high enough. I slowly started to scoot up.

Stop crying.

Stop crying.

This is a different ball game now.

I stood on their pillow and raised my arms. Still not high enough. I stood on the headboard and tried to balance on it. I raised my arms and it worked. I slid my hands over the end of the pole and fell on the bed flat on my face. I looked at the door and locked it. I went over to the window and it was bolted shut. If I bust the glass they will hear it. But if I bust it at the right angle so all of it breaks at once, I'll have enough time to climb out. I took off my shoe and broke the window. I tried to slide through, but I realized I was on the second floor.
