The images from last night replayed themselves over and over in my dreams. It was like porn, but only better because it was porn with Phoenix Star. I mentally smiled as I rolled myself on the other side of the bed, stretching my arms out to touch Phoenix, but I felt nothing but the fabric of the sheets. Slowly I opened my eyes, hoping to at least see him sitting there but all I saw was the four walls, covered in posters and a messy dresser. What the fuck?
Sitting up straight, I rubbed my eyes a few times, making sure this was just a dream, but each time I opened them, I was still in my room. How the hell did I get back to my room? I mentally asked myself as I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing the same outfit from yesterday when I went to the hotel. It didn't even look like I undressed myself. My hair was perfectly fine, except for a few splits here and there from sleeping. Was last night...just a dream?....
I shook my head, unable to believe that last night was just a dream. I know it was real. I remember everything. But I don't remember coming home. Walking over to my door, I head out into the hallway, making my way to the living room. Right on the couch I saw Anya, eating a bowl of cereal and watching the news.
"Hey sleepy head" she said gleefully. "How's your head?" she asked. That question confused me.
"My... my head? Nothings wrong with my head, what are you talking about Anya?" I demanded. I had no clue what she was talking about.
"Uhh....you had a hangover? Mr. Durlo brought you home. He said you stopped by to pick up your cell phone and had a few drinks with him and Phoenix. You got drunk and they drove you home." she said , giving me the duh look. "Look you phone's right here" she said, picking it up from the table next to her.
My eyes widened with disbelief. I never saw Mr. Durlo. It was just me and Phoenix, and wild sex.
"Anya, is this a joke?!" My voice cracked. Her eyes widened. "Yes, I went to pick up my phone, but I never saw Mr. Durlo. It was just me and Phoenix. We both talked and things..." my voice trailed off as the images from last night filtered my mind. "...We...had sex.." I uttered.
Anya gave me a blank stare. I knew once again she didn't believe me.
"Rico...I really don't know what going on in that head of your's but this obsession with Phoenix Star has to stop. First you claim he's a vampire, and now your saying you had sex with him? I'm worried about you Rico. You have been acting pretty odd." she stated, bringing her attention back to the TV. "Plus, your not the only weird thing around, more people are disappearing. You know that math teacher, Mrs. Krump? She's gone too" she stated, eating a spoonful of cereal.
I looked down to the ground. I couldn't believe what was happening, well besides the mysterious disappearances, but the fact that everything that happened last night, was just a dream? I felt my heart rip in two as I fell to my knees, tears streamed from my eyes. Anya quickly got up and ran over to my side, a worried expression etched its way n her face.
"Anya...I'm not crazy..."
"I know...but this obsession is making you go crazy" she stated, wiping the tears from my eyes. "You have been in the house for too long. I know something that will make you feel better"
"What is it?" I asked.
"Shopping." she said with a bright smile.
I slightly nodded as I rose to my feet. She stood up next to me, holding my arm. I guess she was just right. I guess I am a bit obsessed with Phoenix and maybe I do need to take my mind off of him. But I still don't understand of what happened last night was real or not. I guess I do need to stop thinking about him. After all I haven't been to school in two days now, and thinking of school, why was Anya home on a school day?
"Anya?...why aren't you at school?" I asked her, my eyes slightly narrowed.
She looked at me and shrugged. "I got suspended" she flatly stated.
I was taken back by her response. I never thought I'd see the day that Anya would get suspended. Then it hit me. I figured why she was suspended.
"You fucked up Charline Henderson" I stated.
She nodded and smiled abit. "I broke her nose. And the whole school knows about it." she informed, walking into her room.
I shook my head, but let it drop. Walking over to the table, I picked up my cell phone and looked at it. I had one new text message. Arching a brow, I flipped open my phone and froze in place.
-Hey hope you got home safely....I had a great time last night....hope you did'nt melt on the way home-
///:: Phoenix:\\\
My heart light up like the Fourth Of July. I knew I wasn't crazy. I knew what Phoenix and I shared last night was real. I knew my feelings for him we're real too.
------------
Anya and I shopped all day. We did'nt buy much, except a few anime keychains and manga. I was in a much better mood then before, and now that I know last night was real, I had nothing to worry about.
We walked the whole entire shopping district, stareing at the windows and admireing the newesr styles. As we walked, I over heard a group of girls talking, and giggleing. As we got close, they were talking about Forsaken and how cute the members of the band were.
A evil little smile crept upon my lips as we passed them. They may talk about Phoenix, but I was the one who slept with him.
"Hey Rico lets take a short cut through the alley. It seems like a busy night out on the streets" Anya said, looking over the crowd and scowling abit.
"Yeah sure, lets go" I said, grabbing her hand and entering the dark alley. That was a very dumb decision.
As soon as we entered the alley, we meet a dead end.
"Shit! This sucks, I really didnt want to go through that large crowd" Anya groaned.
I nodded in agreement, and turned to leave, but only did I stop when a figuer suddenly appeard before us.
"What the hell?!" yelled Anya as she took a step back. I was thinking the same thing.
"Well....Snowflake, its good to see you again" came a chilling voice.
"I know that voice...Richie? it that you?"I asked, takeing a step closer to him. Anya grabbed my arm, warning me with her eyes.
"Who else would it be?" he said sarcasticly. Yup same old Richie, but something was off about him. He seemed so...calm.
"Richie, where have you been? What...what happened to you?" I asked in horror as I got a good glimps of his face. Those Hazle-Green eyes were now replaced with a fiery orange flare, and his skin was pale, very pale, almost sickly looking.
He noticed my horror and simply laughed. Even his laugh sent chills down my spine.
"You stupid fag, Ive been reborn. I'm one of his children now. He took me from the bottom of this pitiful life and gave me a life of...immortality." he hissed, his orange hues never took thier focus from me.
"He? Who are you refering to?" Anya demaned.
Richie simply laughed again and took a step closer. He smiled even more, showing off his full white teeth, and two extra longated ones that fully caught my attention. Anya seemed to have noticed them too, the look of horror shown on her eyes.
"The Master of course....he is the one that will guide us into a new world, one person at a time. He will show us the true meaning of life.." he stated, outstreatching his arms.
"But unfortuantely for you Snow...your life witll end here" he said in a tone that almost didnt sound human.
I took a step back, but he was too fast. Anya let out a scream as I saw her being thrown into the wall behind us. I tried to run to her, but Richie grabbed me by my hair and slamed me on the opposite wall.
I banged my head pretty hard, and tears formed in my eyes as I tried to look for Anya. My adrenaline began to pump as fear once again took hold of my body. Searching around, I glanced up and saw Richie, approching me with thoese emotionless orange hues. He bore that sick smile of his, the one he used everytime Id see him. I still couldnt believe what I was seeing infront of me. Richie Sale's was no longer one of us, he was a vampire, and his first blood was going to be me.
"R-Richie....please dont do this...this is not you..." I tried to talk to him, but all he did was smile even more. I couldnt move from my spot and i began to feel very light headed and soon I knew it was all over.
Tears kept on pouring from my eyes and my vision began to become blurry.
"Get away from them!" shouted a voice from the distance. I forced my eyes to look, but it was too blurry.
I could only make out another figure, in a Ralf Lauren Suit and blue and black hair, before passing out.
