"Hold up, Evan is going to help me?" They stare at me like I have three heads. I'm newly turned, emotional and angry. Chandler is going to let Evan help me feed! He was just on a binge when I was gone for months. He wasn't able to control himself and he's going to be my feeding teacher? "Well yeah." Evan says dumbly to me. I stare at both of them ignoring the pressure in my gums and the unsatisfied hunger in my gut. I look at Chandler before sighing. "You can't come?" I ask him and he shrugs. "I didn't think you'd want me to come." "Having both of you guys with me would be great." Chandler smiles at me. "I think having both of us with you would be too overwhelming." After thinking about it I agree with what he means. Maybe he doesn't want to come with me. Maybe he feels guilty about everything I'm going through. He feels guilty because I'm a vampire now and I never wanted to be one. "I think you should shower and rinse off just to waste time until it's dark." I look at the windows covered with curtains. I will never see the sun again. "Okay." I say in a hushed voice before walking back up the stairs. Evan follows and grabs a towel for me. "He's upset." Evan starts and I pause from searching for a shirt in my closet. "I knew he would be." Is the only thing I can say back. I sit on my bed, sighing before rubbing my temples. "None of this is your fault. Shit happens. You'll get through this." I gain some confidence and I nod my head. He sits besides me on the edge of my bed, rubbing my back in small circles. "I know I will. Soon all of this will be over." I give him a soft smile before leaning in and kissing him. We hold it for a long time and to me, it felt better than it did when I was human. When I touched him he wasn't cold against my skin. Goosebumps wouldn't crawl along my flesh when he held me. Most of all he looked more beautiful than ever. I stand up and I walk to the bathroom. I strip down and I stare at my pale figure in the mirror. My face looks sick with large bags under my eyes. However my hair is a bright blonde and it looks healthy than ever. I wash myself with really hot water because the burning doesn't effect my skin. As a matter of fact it feels soothing and when I try cold water it feels icy yet relaxing. When I get out I change into a casual outfit for when we go out at night. Although I look fragile I feel better than before when I was dying. It feels like I overcame a sickness and this is the aftermath. I guess if you say turning into a vampire is a sickness. When I go downstairs Evan and Chandler are watching television silently. I look around and my parents are still nowhere to be found. "They never came back?" I ask and they shake their heads. "I spoke to your father and I told them to wait a bit until you two leave." Chandler replies and I bite my bottom lip. "I'm okay though, I feel better now." They stand and Evan grabs the car keys. "Yeah you say that now but wait till you're surrounded with humans. The longing hunger will never end." Evan comments and Chandler nods his head. "He's right though if they came back I wouldn't be surprised if you tried to eat one of them." They both laugh and I frown. "That's not funny." "It's a lifestyle you're going to have to get used to it." I roll my eyes and Evan and I walk out the door. He drove into town where it's crowded with people. My stomach churns in pain from being hungry and nervous. Being new to all of this is terrifying. In my entire life I never thought I'd be in this position but look at me now. I'm a walking dead body that survives on blood. Something that kept me alive and helped my body function. Now I need to drink it from other people's bodies. Do they get hickey's if you suck on their skin for too long? Oh no. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when Evan parallel parks on the side of Main Street. The street where adults hang outside of bars and teenagers get ice cream. I stare at a large family walk by and cross the street. "Ready?" Evan turns off the ignition and I gulp loudly. I slowly take off my seat-belt and rethink about all of this. Maybe we should go back home. I can get blood bags just like the vampire shows I used to watch. Is that even possible? "Adeline." He adds and I sigh. "Okay can we at least n-not kill the person?" He gazes at me with a glum look before getting out of the car. I mutter 'asshole' under my breath and I get out too. We walk up Main Street while Evan has his arm over my shoulder. Everything is heightened. The lights on every store and bar are brighter and the voices are louder. It's nerve-racking but I know I'll have to get used to it. I can smell everything and the worst are the humans. I hear their hearts beating and the blood coursing through their veins. I lick my lips. We cross the road and cut to a small narrow street. It's between two large buildings and when I was younger I used to cut through there with my friends. But tonight is different. It's a hunting ground. The memories of my past will be long forgotten. We lean against one of the buildings and I stare across the other. There's no windows, just bricks. Evan stares at me for a while before taking a step back. "I'll be back." "Where are you going?" I push myself off the wall and I go to follow him but he stops me by raising a finger. "I'm going to use my charm to find someone." I stiff at his words because second by second I'm closer in doing something I'm scared of. He leaves the small path and I'm all alone. At least if someone comes to attack me I have the strength fight them off. It was a couple of minutes until Evan came back. He was holding a girl in her twenties around her waist while she giggled every time he said something. They stop when they approach me and she smiles. Her brunette hair is long and straight. She has large freckles across her cheekbones and green eyes. My hands start shaking because she's too pretty to be killed. After a moment of silence she furrows her eyebrows and turns to Evan. Before a word can spill out of her mouth Evan quickly smothers her mouth and nose closed together with his hand. She starts to struggle in his hold and I look around in alarm if someone sees us. But we're all alone. "What are you doing?" I say watching her eyes slowly flutter closed and her movements weaken. Eventually she knocks out against Evan's body but I can still hear her heart beating. "She's unconscious." He rests her body along his and holds her up. Her head rolls back and Evan brushes her hair aside. I smell her blood and I swallow the lump that forms in my throat. I'm so hungry. "It'll be easier for you to feed." He adds looking at me with concern in his eyes. "I-I don't know-" "Hey you got this." He assures while halting the girl up. I take a step closer and I try to talk but nothing comes out. "So I just..." "Bite." He finishes my sentence and I sigh. "Bite." I whisper under my breath while leaning closer to her neck. I tilt my head so it's easier to bite. My lips touch her warm skin and for a second I feel weird. I've never been this close to a girl. Weird to say. Without realizing I feel my gums prying open and my fangs lengthen. I open my mouth and I press my teeth again her skin. Then I bite. I break her skin open and I want to pull away but when her blood rushes into my mouth and I can't. When I saw vampires feeding off humans I thought it was disgusting. Being one now I understand their problem of not being able to stop. I close my eyes when my needs are fulfilled. I hold onto her arms and I bite down harder. Blood freely pours in my mouth and I can't help but run my tongue over her skin. And now I know why blood is a craving. Power expands throughout your weak, starving body. It grows your ability in doing a lot of things. It makes you feel alive. My stomach clenches in satisfaction of being full but I can't help but drink more. It's warm and stops the burning feeling in my throat. I hear her heartbeat fade in my ears but I feel no regret in ending her life. I finally pull away when I finish. I don't realize the streaks of blood that escaped from my cupped mouth. It's running down her pale skin and I want to lick it off her body. I feel the warm blood on the corner of my lips. Evan tosses her aside and the girl hits the ground with a thud. I swallow, feeling a smile form on my lips. "It wasn't bad huh?" He starts running his thumb against the blood on my lips. "No it felt amazing." I admit and he chuckles, licking the blood off his thumb. There's a hungry look in his eyes and I bring my lips to his. He kisses back, deepening it and running his tongue along mine. Tasting her blood. Evan pushes me up against the wall and brings my lower lip between his. He sucks on it lightly and I run my fingers through his hair. I tug a fistful of his curly locks and he pulls away from me groaning in the process. "You make me crazy." He mutters while resting his head on my shoulder. "We shouldn't do this now." "You're right." I agree while removing my hands from his hair and running them down his back. He lifts his head up and smirks. "I can go for seconds." ~~~~~
