"Rico what the fuck happened in there!" Anya shouted as she paced back and fourth in the living room. "You act like you seen a ghost"
As much as I wanted to agree with her on that statement, I did see something, but it wasnt a ghost. The images kept on popping into my head, replaying like a bad movie.
So much blood.....
"Rico! Tell me what happened" Anya shouted, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked up at her, and she looked at me with a worried, and angry look.
"He's a vampire..."
"What? Who's a vampire?" she questioned, giving me a strange look. "Rico I think Twilight must have gotten to your head because-"
"Anya you dont understand, he's a FUCKING VAMPIRE!!! Phoenix Star is a vampire!" I shouted, grabbing Anya by her shoulders.
She looked at me with a stunned expression, like I had asked her to marry me or something. Her chocolate brown eyes dialated abit, the thoughts must have been prossesing in her head.
"Ri-Rico...are you serious?" she asked.
I nodded my head and slowly let go of her shoudlers. She kept on looking at me like I was crazy. I knew she didnt believe me, I knew no one would believe me.
"I saw him....drinking Nora's blood. She was in his arms and she was life less.." I utterd, sitting down on the couch and resting my head into my hands. I wanted to crawl into a ball.
Anya sat down next to me and took my hand in her's. Her chocolate brown eyes gave off a comferting, yet worried look.
"Rico...I dont know how to proccess this, but im trying my best. Its clearly hard enough for me to even believe that the same guy we hung out with so happens to be a vampire"
"But Anya, I saw him! And he even saw me! He...saw me..." I whispered.
Oh my god, im a witness...
"He saw you?" Anya questioned. She now had a worried look on her face.
I blankly stared at the ground, frozen. If he had seen me, then does that mean he'll come after me? Will he kill me too....
"Rico, I think you need some sleep. All that rock music and gothic theme really had gotten to you. I mean did you at least got your phone back?"
My eyes widened. Shit, I forgot my phone and it was on the desk where Phoenix was standing next to. Has god finally decided to end my life throuroughly?!
Anya read my expression and shook her head with dissapointment. I knew she wasnt happy with me, but for once I really needed her to believe me on this one.
"Rico, please go get some sleep. Im sure alittle rest will clear that thought out of your mind" she said, getting up from the couch and walking to her room.
I sat there, still not sure if what really happened was for real.. Maybe Anya was right, maybe with all the commotion going on, I must have imagined Phoenix doing that. But if that was an imagination, why did the blood look so real?
my breathing became labored as I stood up. Paranoia creeped in as I walked, each step feeling like an eternity. I dont know how I was going to deal with this, more over, I wonder if I'll get my phone back. He could easily track me down. What if he does? what if he kills me, then Anya! My paranoia began to eat me and as I crept onto my bed, I closed my eyed and the first thing I dreamed aboutwas Phoenix Star.
---3 weeks later---
Its beenthree weeks since that incident at the club. Things have gotten alot weirder since then. My paranoia hasnt subsided and Anya still dosnt believe me. She thinks I might have to seek some help. I knew I wasnt crazy and what I saw was defenitly real.
He was always on my mind. Phoenix. Everywhere I go, I cant stop thinking about him. He's like a drug, someting I crave for, yet live in fear of. I just want to see him, but some part of me reminds me of that night. Im at a war with my mind. Phoenix is all I ever think about. Im obssessing over him. Sometimes I wonder, did I fall in love with him?
"Fifth one this week" Rebecca said as she tossed a newpaper onto our table at Lunch. Rebecca doesnt know about what happened, but she does know that both Anya and I were there when Forsaken performed. She's been a jealous leech ever since then.
Anya picked up the paper and sighed heavily. lately people have gone missing, without a trace. The recient victim was a thirty year old bus driver who never returned home after his late shift. Whats even more weird, Richie Sale's hasnt been around for a while, perhaps he might have been taken too. I smiled abit at the thought.
"I wonder what happened to all these people. How they just dissapered like that" Rebecca stated.
"I dunno. But lets just hope thats the last of the dissaperence" Anya said, takeing a bite out of her sandwhich.
I sat there quietly, reading my New Moon book. I was abit relieved that there werent any vampire's in this one. Just hott werewolves. But everytime they do mention a vampire, I just end up thinking about Phoenix all over again.
"But oh my god, you guys have to tell me about the performance! I heard rumors that the dancers on stage were hott" beckoned Rebecca as the gleam in her eyes shined.
I glanced over to Anya who was glanceing at me then at Rebecca. "Well...they were really good, but the band was great." she said, being nice enough no to mention Phoenix's name.
"I wish I could have gone. Oh well maybe i'll get a chance to meet them once day" she said, flipping through the news paper.
-----
Anya and I spent the whole day talking about other things besides Forsaken. It wasnt easy, but we managed. I still couldnt stop thinking about Phoenix, and I never will. He is on my mind and in my dreams. Ive come to terms that I did have some obssession over him.
It was late at night, I didnt have work tonight so I took my time and took a nice shower while Anya cooked dinner. She told me, takeing nice hot showers can help clear my mind, but it only made my thoughts more unbearable. After thirty minuets of hot steamy water and sexual urgencies, I walked out of the bathroom, my towel loosely hung around my waist and made my way to the kitchen.
Anya was used to seeing me half naked all the time, but she still couldnt helo but blush.
"Once again, Why do you have to be gay!! couldnt you just be straight for one day so we can have awsome sex!" she pouted as she stared at my crotch line.
I tried being stright, but I always end up thinking about penis. Well I guess its a gay thing. Laughing abit I walked back to the living room, the phone suddenly rang.
"I'll get it!" I said as I walked over and checked the caller I.D.
My heart Froze.
It said my name and my cell phone number, yet I wasnt calling the house and I didnt have my phone but i knew one person how does. I hesitated at first, slowly reachiing down and picking up the reciever.
"He-Hello?" I said, hopeing no one would anser on the other line.
"You and I need to talk. I'll explain everything. Meet me at the Grand Foze Hotel at eight tommorow night. Come alone" Said the voice on the other line. I knew exatly who it was.
"Hey who was that on the phone?" Anya asked, standing behind me at the kitchen door.
I tuened around and looked at her, a blank expression was written on my face. "Phoenix Star"
