Chapter 14: Night Out Gone Bad
"Hey, why don't we get out of here?"
He asked with a crooked smile and a creepy glint in his eye. Oh boy, he better not be thinking he is scoring some tonight, or in that case any night from me. I stopped dancing and squirmed out of his arms, stepping back from him I looked at my watch.
"Oh you know what sweetie, I would but looking at the time now, I just realized what time it is and I have to be getting back. It's late and my boss will be expecting me home soon. She gets real pissed if I stay out too long. I began to walk away saying, "I'm sorry but I really have to go," but before I could take four steps he grabbed my arm, hard. "How dare he?" I thought to myself. "What the hell is wrong with him, he's totally different," I glared at him, trying to figure out what would happen next.
"Let go of me," I growled through gritted teeth.
"Sorry princess but I'm not letting go till I get what I want," his voice was different now, crueler. In a blink of an eye, before I could even think about it my free hand clenched into a tight fist and met Johns face. Making his nose crack and blood pour from his nostrils.
"Damnit!" he cursed holding his bloody nose. I took that chance to get to the bar and grab my bag. I headed out of the alley to where my bike was parked. But suddenly I was yanked backwards by the collar of my dress, and thrown against the wall on the other side of the alley. I hit the hard damp brick with a loud thud and collapsed on the floor. I groaned in pain and looked up at John, his nose had stopped bleeding but there was blood on his face beginning to dry and crust.
"What The Hell Is Wrong With You John?" I yelled. What the hell was he thinking? What was wrong with him? I looked down at my bleeding elbow, I heard a growl coming from in front of me and I looked up. Instantly finding the answer to my own questions. He was a vampire, his eyes were glowing red and yellow stained fangs were peaking out from his thin lips.
Not taking my eyes off him, I stood up with a smirk on my face. "Hmm, so that's why you've been acting different. I knew something was off about you since yesterday when you called me. You're a vampire," he hissed at me bearing his yellow fangs.
"You don't seem surprised, my first few snacks were dripping with the aroma of fear. But you, I can't pick anything up on. Why?" he hissed again and took a step closer.
"Well Johnny boy that's because my new job, the one I left André's for is a vampire hunter". He laughed at the words vampire hunter.
"Hahaha, A vampire hunter? Sorry babe, you're no vampire hunter; Vampire Hunters are just myths masters tell to fledgling vampires to scare them", he took another step forward. Still looking at him I spat blood out from my mouth and smirked.
"Yeah, well we'll see asshole. Come on! I dare you to attack me you undead piece of shit," that said he came running at me, teethe bared. I dodged and blocked his swings until I thought I saw a spot open up for me to strike. I misjudged and instead of striking I had left myself open to him and he brought his fist rammed into my gut. He grabbed me by the hair and swung me around like a doll, throwing me against a slimy brick wall.
"See, I knew you weren't a hunter. Your way to slow," he laughed walking over to me.
I got up and laughed, "Guess I'll just have to prove it to you then," He came at me again claws aimed for my throat. I dodged his attempt to grab me and whirled around behind him. Punching him in the back of the head I flipped him onto the ground and got him in a submission hold his arms behind his back stretched out with my boot in the middle applying pressure. Smirking I jerked back with all my strength and listened as I heard the popping of his sockets echo in my ears. Screaming he cursed and then slowly he tried standing up but only made it to his knees.
His arms hadn't healed yet and were dangling at his sides, useless. He was obviously a newly turned vampire, still very week but has had the chance to build his strength off of blood. So he couldn't be more then a week or two old. He was grumbling and I cautiously walked over clicking the back of my boot on the concrete. A medium length blade popped out the front; kicking the thing that was once John backwards I held it to his throat.
"Who turned you?" I asked not expecting an answer. I didn't get one, so I jabbed the blade into the socket of his shoulder. His screams echoed throughout the alley and I was surprised no one stopped and looked in. Luck was on my side I guess, if Alucard was here he would have said something like "there is no such thing as luck, Blade Girl". I thought John was going to open his mouth to spill out all that he knew but instead he tried to bite his tongue off. Before he could though I stuck my hand in his mouth and held the squishy light pink muscle in my hand. He still bit down hard on my fist and the pain was nothing but my worry was that I had been bitten.
The next few moments flashed by in a blur, I had gotten only one name from him and that was Gesabelle. After eliminating the vampire I walked back home pushing my bike along. The tires had been slashed; I assume it was Johns doing as a precaution. But tonight had been my first night out and it went horribly wrong. On top of that I didn't know whether or not I was going to become a vampire or a ghoul. Either way I didn't want to be either, how am I going to tell this to Integra and everyone? I sighed. And being I don't remember if I've ever lost my virginity I don't know if I am a virgin or if its been gone for awhile. There was only one person who might know. Ruthy.
