Thirst I left the house around one o'clock heading for Blackmore Mall Centre, ready to find myself a new hoodie. I arrived at the mall around 1:30, trying to be sure the security guards didn't see me skipping school, I went through the back doors to one of the stores. Cutting through all of the cardboard boxes and old dusty mannequins, I made it to the store and headed out for my favorite store called Rock Route 691. A store that sells any kind of emo or gothic clothes, which is mainly my kind of style. There was an enormous amount of people at the mall today, so making it to the store alive was not an easy task. Almost getting trample by all the preppy dressed housewives running towards every store that had a sale sign in the display window. So after 10 minutes of journeying through the crowds I made it to Rock Toute 691, as soon as I got in the store I began searching for a Theory of A Deadman hoodie. I found my clothing I was looking for, it wasn't too pricey, so I bought it. Walking out of the store I saw an icee stand and decided to get a frozen strawberry icee, that didn't cost too much so I slurped down my frozen drink and headed for where I came in. It took me a few minutes to get back to the store that I came in from, although I had to wait until the cashier at the counter had left so I wouldn't be spotted leaving. I sneaked by sucessfully without being seen, I walked throught the old storage room slowly not to disturb any of the boxes. When I was close to getting to the doors of the exit, I heard a box behind me fall, and as I turned around to see what it was. Something white and blurry came before me, I was so scared and frightened. However I knew who it was, it was the boy from the bathroom, he stood inches away from me. Only staring he made one swift movement and I never even noticed how quickly he had moved, but he had somehow been from inches away to right in my face. I felt the slow movement of his lips against my own, I didn't know who he was and I tried to fight him off. He was strong very strong, he finally released me from his hands as he said, "So you haven't fully been transformed have you." I stammered back,"What are you talking about, who are you?" "You don't remember me?" he asked. "No, so who the hell are you?" I exclaimed. "I am the one who you belong with, I fell in love with you when I first smelled you, my name is Connor and I'm the one who bit you." he said. I was in shock, the one who had attacked me was insane here trying to hurt me again. "So what are you a mental patient?" I asked "No!, you will see soon what I am and you will be back to me.", he yelled, it frightened me for his eyes turned black as night as soon as that happened he took off. I stood in the storage room shaking, I was frozen in my place until he was no longer in sight. Then I ran straight home without stopping once, I ran inside slammed the door, Ryan was home from work by the time I got home. I ran up to my room and jumped on the bed, soon Ryan came up to see what was going on with me. "Where have you been Jon, what happened? he asked. "I went to get my hoodie, and...," I quickly thought up a lie,"..well the kids from school where there and started chasing me again." "Oh, I'm sorry man, I know how those kids treat you. Well it's ok now little brother, I know you have been going through some changes." he said as he went to hug me. His hand touched my skin, and he started to shiver. "Shit Jon, your freezing dude!" he exclaimed. "It's nothing I am just cold alot and don't get much sun anymore." I said. "Ok, well this weekend I have a work confrence out of town. Will you be ok here by yourself for the weekend?" he asked "Well duh." I sighed. He smiled and hugged me anyways envocing the coldness in my skin, he then got up and went back to his room. ^ ^ ^ On Friday after school Ryan left for his work, so I stayed around the house for the rest of the day. Later on around nine o'clock that night, I was watching some old movies when the doorbell buzzed. I got up and checked to see who it was, and who else but Carly be bouncing around on my front porch. So I let her in and told her to come hang with me for a while. I told her about that Connor guy and about his freaky sayings in the mall storage room, she just insisted that maybe I try and avoid him for a while. All of a sudden the doorbell sounded again, I looked at Carly having no clue of who it was. So I asked her to get the door, she did and came back holding a small box. I never wanted to open the box but Carly objected I do that, because she thought that it was from a guy wanting to date me at school. So i gathered up the courage to open it. Inside the boxes contents were two things on top was a note that read: Darling, Please drink the vial of red in which i have included in the box, when you do i will be there, so do not worry i love you, xoxo Connor. I then pulled the note up out of the box, and under it which Connor had kept his word, was a vial of dark red blood. I dropped the box that smelled as sweet as Connor had when he kissed me, while the vial of cold blood stay firm in my hand. It was so creepy he wanted me to drink blood, me and Carly had known now what Connor believed he was. Connor thought he was a vampire, and wanted me to be one with him. "He is insane!" I shouted at Carly. "Well maybe he is, but think about it how strong he was, how pale his skin was Jon." she said. "Well let's put it to the test, he said in the note that he would be here when I drank it so how about I just down the vial. If he comes then maybe he isn't so crazy, and if not then I'm going to stay away from him. Suddenly Carly's cell rang, her mom was screaming into the phone for her to come home. "Okay mom, geez!" she yelled back,"I have to go Jon, bye see you." she stated as she jumped up and was out the door. I was alone with a vial of blood in my hand, and I don't know what had pushed me to do it but as I knew it I was draining the vial in my mouth. The blood tasted so sweet against my lips, as the blood was gone, I went crazy started screaming, then passed out. "Jon....JON!" Connor yelled. He was here, I was in his arms. I felt so safe so happy to see him, and I don't know why. I knew what he was......a vampire but I seemed to have bypassed that staring into his eyes. He explained to me that when he had bitten me he knew I would be like him. "I knew I loved you he said, I wanted you to be mine. I thought I wanted your blood at first, but I soon realized I wanted you." he said. "Am I like you now?, am I a vampire?" I asked. "Yes, you are like me now. I am sorry if this is not what you wish. I could not control myself when I did what I did." he said. He looked sad when I started to cry, but I only cried because so much was happening. One minute I went from being so scared to wanting to hold on to Connor forever and not letting go. That's when I saw him start to cry, he had thought I had not want to be with him and he had done the wrong thing by changing me. I saw nothing else to do, I wanted to do it so much all of a sudden. I kissed him as hard as I could pressing his chest against mine. I wove my arms through his and tightened them around his back. He began to move his lips in the motion of mine, as he put his hand on my face. His lips tasted as sweet as the blood had, I never wanted to stop.
