itz not quite finished......but this is wat i have so far.....

Walking slowly down the street, I began to contemplate on the events that just happened only a few moments ago. My life, before this, was as normal as anyone’s. I lived in a small town, I worked in the local bar, and I ate the most convenient take-out I could find. Well, all of that has changed now. I saw something; something I can’t even describe out of pure shock! Palms sweating, head jerking, I looked around to see if it was still there. Nothing. What was it? Some sort of animal? No. It was too human-like. I’ve only heard of vampires once in my life and that was when I was watching Dracula. Yet, I felt something following me as I continued to walk. Heart pumping, I sped up my pace. Could it really be a “Daemon of the Night?”

           ☠

As I paced the perimeter of the rug in my apartment, all my thoughts were a complete mess! No human could’ve done what that thing had done. “No.” I said to myself out loud, “Not a thing. A vampire.” I was silent for a long moment; only the television could ease my rattled mind. Then, I got nervous. “A young girl was found dead this morning near Central Park-”

“THEY FOUND HER?!?!” I screamed. Eyes squinting to see further into the screen, I searched for the spot where I saw that horrid thing drain that young girl dry. Groping violently at my coat, I dashed out the door and into my car. Immediately, I dialed Will’s number. Will, my best friend, was somewhat of a “vampire enthusiast.” He knew everything possible to know about them. Two rings…. Three rings…. “Come on, come on! PICK UP!”

“Hello?”

“Will! Oh my god! I need your help!”

“What’s wrong?” he asked anxiously.

Voice stressing, I told him of my dilemma. “What can I do? I’m freakin’ out!”

“I’m sorry James, but there’s nothing you can do…. You’ve been marked.”

           ☠

Marked. That one word is forever burned into my head. Yet, it seems so strange; what kind of a mark? Marked for Death, or Vampirism? Maybe, when I see Will, I’ll find out. Will, superstitious and introverted, lives an hour away from any sign of civilization. As I raced to his house, I simply stared into the blackness of the sky. No moon, no clouds, no nothing. How can this happen? There’s nothing special about a simple guy like me. Except you saw a girl die in the hands of a monster. I commented in the far regions of my mind. This vampire has made me go crazy! Without even lifting a finger! Suddenly, my cell phone rang; I startled so badly my car nearly went into the ditch near the road. “H-Hello?”

“Where are you?!?” Will replied anxiously.

“I’m almost to your house. I-I’m pulling up right now.”

“Good. You might want to stay with me for a few days by the way.”

“Why?”

There was a sudden unsteadiness in his voice, “Your apartment building just burned to the ground-“

“WHAT?!?!”

“And one more thing.” He choked, “You’re wanted for murder.”
