My Girlfriend's House 2: I am Vampire

I look at them and wonder how they can live with themselves. I see a group of boyfriends and girlfriends doing their whole 'cuddly' act. Its all poison for your future, you know your chances of losing them in a year are above eighty percent.

I guess my experience with my ex-girlfriend three years ago wasn’t the best. She’s dead dust now, I don't really think about it much anymore, other then the fact she gave me the curse. That’s right; I'm one of them now, not like many would think though. I'm still about the same as I was when I was human, the only difference would have to be the caution I take to protect my skin from not being touched by sunlight or trying to avoid mirrors.

"Wow I must be on the wrong side of the school. This must be the ugly part of it." Lucy Cardia said as she walked by me. It doesn't bother me what she says, she’s a bit....

"Luke, man you have to check out our concert this weakened! Its ganna be the coolest thing since sliced bread!" Mark said as he walked out of the classroom to my right, walking along side me while handing me a piece of paper with the address of a rock shop.

"Don't know if I will go." I said.

Mark has been my friend through it all, he didn't even know what happened that night, he doesn't even know I'm a vampire, no one does, no one but me. Over the three years though he has matured and no longer thought of aliens taking his milk, his fear now was clowns, he couldn't even stand the thought of them. Clowns would be the least scariest thing if he knew what I was, the monster I am.

"Awww....man lighten up, ok? You have been like this for a long time now and you haven't talked to many people, let alone try and flirt with girls ever since that Megan chick left, weird her and Colin moved the same day, the jerk didn't even say goodbye."

"Please don't mention either one of them, and girl wise I think I don't want to think of another relationship for a long, long, long....." And there she was.

Standing near the front office in the front of the building was a new girl that had arrived at our school; she has normal jeans, a shirt with some green glob monster eating a smaller pink glob monster, long blonde hair, black rimmed glasses, and black and white sneakers. She didn't wear much make-up; her beauty required no make-up to be applied.

Now normally I would trot right on over there and offer her a tour around the school, but guess what, I have a little vampire phobia, not that she’s a vampire or anything, as much as I know at least, but I can't take chances. It has happened once so what stops it from happening again?

We walk by her and I want her to turn around and say that she wants me to take her around the school, and I want her to just ignore me at the same time. I take note that Mark is looking at her butt, typical Mark....

"Excuse me; you have been here for a while right? Do you mind showing me around?" CRAP! So much for undercover sly guy, I could always turn her down, but that would not be a good start off for a new student or vampire.

"Sure, I've been going here for 3 years, my name is Luke."

"Hi. I'm Gabby, nice to meet you." Her voice was like a pillow of soft cream pudding, and I can't believe I just thought that. "How old are you? You look like you should be in college."

"17. I'm a junior, I wasn't held back or anything. Anyway I will get started with the tour." I give a look at Mark for him to leave; he smirks and then sighs as he shuffles off. I guess maybe this year will be a good year.

 

So I showed Gabby around the giant school, it took time out of my next class, but I guess I didn't really mind. At the end of it all she said thanks and then went to her class, I did the same.

I got to class about 20 minutes late, it was Mr. Robertson's class I was late to, so you know he’s ganna flip like there’s no tomorrow. I always hated Mr. Robertson, he was a huge man that had grey hair and didn't know he had feet. It was probably because he could never see his feet; he just thought he was a giant floating fat man.

Missing any part of his debate class would mean he would want my head, which he took.

"Wow Luke, I didn't know you could be so stupid and not see that it was time for class." Mr. Robertson said as he flopped down into his mobile chair, whipping the crumbs of leftover cupcake off his chest.

"It wasn’t ignorance, to correct you Mr. Robertson." Now this blob of a man is supposed to be 'always right' and he will admit no other. But for sport I feel like challenging him.

"Oh really? Then what were you doing, trying to improve the horrible speaking skills you have?"

"No, I was taking a new student around the school. To let you know I took her around the school on a tour on purpose so I didn't have to come to this class and see a man with three stomachs talk to me for an hour." I said it all, I knew I was going to be sent to school jail, but at this point I didn't care. I was tiered of him and the way he talked and acted.

"Oh you’re so out of this class! Get out now and go to the office, I'll meet you there and explain to the principle how you are being an ungrateful ignorant student." He was pushing the wrong buttons with me, but I'm going to let it go.

"Whatever, just try to move fast enough to get there before next Friday." Ok, maybe I wasn't done yet.

"LEAVE NOW!"

Well I guess now that I'm out of the class I can look around for a while, after all Mr. Robertson won’t be down to the office for a while. So I walk into the commons, a giant room right in front of the entrance and walked over to a bench and sat down. But then I spotted a group of four to five boys dressed in red and black hoodies. They started to walk away as soon as they saw me; the group was seemed like they were up to something.

I waited until the group walked into another room that was in the far right corner of the commons. I then followed after them, taking light steps to make sure they couldn’t hear me as I neared the door to the room they just entered. Once there I leaned against the door and listened into the conversation, it felt wrong but there was nothing else to do.

"So this Friday we are going to start the plan?" One of the voices said.

"Of course, that way we turn the remainder on Friday, they go home and turn their parents. Once that cycle is complete the normal kids come back to school on Monday and get turned by the kids who were turned on Friday, as for the parents they will go to work and turn their other workers, it will just keep building." Another voice said.

Turn? Cycle? What was going on, I thought. The door soon flew open and hit me in the face; I flopped to the floor as the group comes out.

"Looks like someone was listening to something they shouldn’t have." The tallest boy of the group said.

I got back up to my feet and started to get punched down by the group members, once on the floor they kicked me in the face and all over. Good thing I'm a vampire, otherwise my face wouldn't heal and it would put all the girls through torture to not see my amazing face, or not. The beating kept going for another two minutes until they got bored and tiered and walked off. Shortly after I recovered off the ground and stared for the principle’s office. Maybe I should keep an eye out for this Friday, what do they mean?

"He’s a dick, what more is there to say?" I said, showing my teeth in anger.

"I will not allow that kind of language in these school's halls." The principle said as he sat further back into his rolling chair.

The principle was a nice guy, but for a principle I don't think he was the brightest. He never really kept up with what was going on inside the school.

"Well it’s a good thing that we are in the office." I retorted.

"See? He must have a low amount of friends because of all the kind of mean things he says to people." Mr. Robertson added.

"Hey chubs, my life isn’t any of your business. I had a pretty bad experience in my life and it still haunts me."

"That’s debatable."

"Oh my god. Is it always debate this, debate that?"

"Will you two stop!?" The principle said, judging by the tone of his voice this confrontation is about to be over. "Now, Luke I'm going to suspend you from school for 5 days, you are not allowed to come back until that time is up, once it is you will resume classes like normal."

"Whatever." I said with a snort.

I walked out of the office and heard Mr. Robertson making some comment after the meeting but I couldn’t understand what he was saying, so I just continued to my car. My car, it’s been my home for quite a while now; I don't sleep in my parents house anymore. Because of me being a vampire I feel like I'm a threat to them all the time.

Before I walked out of the school I made sure to grab my umbrella from my locker, and opened it up as I walked out of the school. It sucked now because of all the precautions I had to take to make sure I didn't evaporate while being in the sun; I painted a black substance over my window which blocks out the sun and allows me to still see the road.

As I opened my car door I saw Gabby start to walk over to me.

"Luke? Where are you going?" She said with confusion.

"Well you see when you get yelled at by a fat blob for being late you fight back, and well....it lands you in the principles office so that he can tell you that you are suspended for 5 days." I said as I sat down in the driver's seat.

"You’re suspended?!" She said with shock, which wouldn’t be there if she knew the real way I acted around people.

"Yup, and I'm proud of it." I said as I shut the car door. I started up the car and drove off, leaving Gabby with many unanswered questions.

As I pulled into the drive way I found a letter on the passenger' seat, it was a white color that looked like it had some coffee spilled on it.

I opened it up to find a letter from Lucid Drake, also known as 'Cupcake'. They call him cupcake because all the girls treat him like he was the sweetest thing in the world when in reality he is a huge jerk. The letter was about some after school party on Friday that would have tons of music, games, food, and tons more in the commons of the school. Well sucks that I can't go back to school, but even if I could I'm pretty sure I wouldn’t even go then.

I never really thought of it but I didn't even know how Cupcake got his letter into my car, I started rummaging through all the stuff in the car to make sure none of it had been stolen. But as I raised my head I was relieved to see that the window as open a little so he must of slipped it through there.

2 Days Later.....

It’s Friday, I feel dirty and sick, and my parents gave me a lecture of a lifetime and took everything from me. It was when I was walking down the hall that it hit me. Cycle, Turning. They were talking about vampires! They were talking about changing everyone into a vampire and letting them go home and change their parents and the chain continues! Plus that party Cupcake is throwing must be a part of the plan.

I got into my car and drove toward school as fast as I could, hitting a few mail boxes on the way there. If I was wrong about this plan to turn everyone into a vampire then I'm going to be in a huge amount of trouble, but I have a really good feeling that I'm right.

By the time I got to the school it was 5:00pm, which meant school had been out for about an hour, I hope I'm not too late. I got out of the car and pressed through the front doors of the school, I had a feeling of a hero until two school security guards stopped me.

"Where do you think you are going?" The guard said as he raised an arm up to block me off.

"Where else? In there."

"You are suspended though, you aren’t allowed in after school activities until time is up." The other security guard said as he rounded around the other guard.

"Look you don't understand.....uhhhh....and you won’t, even if I tell you." I said as I tried to move through the security guard, but when he tried to stop me I took his arm and swung him around in a clockwise rotation with ease because of my inhuman vampire strength, then released him so he flew into the other guard. Through the doors was a bunch of students who attended the school, I looked around and saw the group of kids that had beaten me up earlier, they were on the balcony watching over the whole swarm of teenagers with hungry looks on their faces.

"Luke....how did you do that? You are starting to scare me." Someone said behind me. I turned to meet faces with Gabby.

"What are you talking about?" I said pretending to be dumb.

"You just lifted a full grown man off the ground while swinging him around." She said with an expression of confusing mixed with horror on her face.

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did! I saw you, don't lie to me. What are you? A vampire or something?" She said with a smirk on her face.

"Yes.....I am...."

"Wait, what?! You’re a vampire?! Stop joking around."

"I'm not, I'm telling the truth. I wouldn't normally but you need to get out of here, this place is going to become vampire city in less then 20 minutes." I said with a serious expression on my face. I didn't need to keep it secret anymore; I was going to save tons of lives so I have to give up something in order to do so.

"No way, I want to come with Mr. Vampire."

"Does it even cross your brain for a second that maybe this kind of stuff is real? Because it is, I was bitten by my ex-girlfriend who is now a pile of dust. She changed me, made me something horrible."

"Prove to me that you are a vampire, and if you are how do I know you are a good one?"

I let the inner vampire come out, my lips curled up and my fangs grew and my eyes became pools of blood. Gabby backed away in horror, she didn't want to believe that vampires are real, well tough luck.

"No. Vampires aren’t real.....they aren’t, its impossible." She said with confidence, but I could smell the caution she took.

"I am a vampire, a good one, I promise. Leave this school."

She backed away with the same expression on her face but after a few steps she turned around and ran out of the building. I knew that my calling was to destroy that group of kids who planned turn everyone in the world into a vampire. It was just another day.

I ran up the stairs that led to the second floor which held the balcony. As I ran up the stairs I found myself staring into the blue eyes of the man who planned the whole party.

"Cupcake, get out of my way." I said with anger in my voice.

"I don't think so, you must know now that we plan to turn everyone into vampires and that a whole world of vampires will eventually exist, all thanks to me." He said with a crazy face. He has lost it.

"So are you one of them?"

"No, not yet. They promised to make me one if I was able to hold you off."

"Who’s 'they'?"

"Why should I tell you?" Cupcake asked.

"You don't need to be the cause of all these kids’ deaths; do you really want to be a part of that?"

"Why not?"

I was done talking with this stupid idiot. I jumped at him to tackle him to the floor, but, he grabbed my mid air and smashed me into the ground with his fist. I quickly recovered to my feet with great speed, and prepared for another jump.

"You can't stop me Luke." Cupcake teased.

I jumped again but was successful this time, smashing him into the floor like he did to me. I heard some of his bones crack on impact to the floor. Pushing off of his body with my legs I landed on the floor as he slid on the hard floor. Once he got to a stop I walked over and grabbed him head and lifted it so that it made eye contact with me.

"Kill me." He whispered.

"No." I replied.

"Do it, I was just about to kill everyone here, I still will if you let me go, I'll make sure the first one to die is Gabby then everyone else will come second. I will kill you!" He screamed. I decided it probably would be best to kill him, but it a peaceful way, I snapped his neck fast and painless.

Continuing on to the balcony I found the group of kids that I found the same day when I heard them talking on the other side of the door.

"Look what we have here." One of the group members said with straight long black hair and green eyes.

"One of our brothers who has refused to be part of the family." The group member in the front sighed.

"I will never be part of your stupid family; I will kill each and every one of you. I already killed Cupcake." I felt like I was acting to cocky, I have no idea what I'm going against.

"Hahaha! You really think that will affect us? We were going to kill him anyway; we just used him to send out the letters for the party." The leader said as he took a step forward. "Please let me introduce myself, I am Marv. The other 4 members of our group are Steven, Sidney, Mark, and Colin."

"NO! NO! It can't be." I screamed.

"Oh but it is." The figure in the back said as he walked toward the front. He removed his hood to show a half burnt face from the tub of garlic I had drowned him in. The hole in the back of his neck was gone though, he had healed. "You see you didn't kill me, I didn't turn to dust like everyone else. You didn't even bother to stick around." He said with a wild smile on his face.

I stared at him with mixed emotions; hatred burned me at the same time as surprise to find him alive.

"You really thought you had killed me didn't you? I can't believe that you are that stupid. You killed my girl and as soon as I came to my senses again I thought it would be the perfect plan to come and destroy you and the rest of humanity." He yelped with excitement.

"I'm going to kill you Colin. I'm going to destroy you for good now, you will never get another taste of blood again, and I will make sure of it." I said as I jumped forward trying to punch Colin's face, but he was too quick and grabbed my arm. He flung me over the balcony, the fall didn't last long it ended with me smashing through a table. As I made impact with the table the left of the table flipped over showing the pegs of the table.

I moved off the table, tons of the students that came to the party were looking at me with confusion and horror of what they just saw.

"Listen everyone! You need to get...." My announcement was cut short by Colin and another one of the group members named Mark jumping down from the balcony and landing on me. I pushed them off and rolled to the right and got to my feet.

"You aren’t going to stop us Luke." Colin said as he recovered from the floor. "This is my salvation!" Colin yelled as he charged at me with a football tackle. As he neared me I jumped over him as if we were playing leap frog, he smashed his head into a wall.

"I don't know how much more your face can take that kind of abuse Colin." I said with a smirk.

"I'm willing to lose it to kill you." Colin said as he got up.

Mark tried to kick me in the face, but I was able to grab his foot in mid air before it made contact. I lifted him over my head and then slammed him down onto the exposed peg of the broken table. As the peg pierced through his heart blood poured out of his mouth and chest.

I looked around and saw everyone that was at the party run for the front doors, but Marv and the other members were blocking the way, grabbing all the people they could and sucked their blood. They were going to turn and I was going to have to fight all of them. I felt like I only had a sliver of hope left, there are way too many vampires to fight and I don't think I can do it. The rest of my thoughts were cut off by gurgling from Mark who was wiggling and screaming as he turned to dust.

I figured that it would be best to stop Marv and the rest from making more vampires. I started to run over to them but was cut short by Colin blocking my path.

"Where do you think you are going? We aren’t finished here!" Colin said as he jumped about 10 feet up into the air and grabbed a pole that was attached to the balcony and ripped it out of its place. As he fell back down he tried to slam the pole onto my head but I rolled out of the way and him and the pole smashed into the ground.

He got up and tried to pierce me in the heart with it. I was getting tired and didn't know how much more I could take of this evading, but if I was to survive I needed to keep moving. I grabbed the other end of the pole and used all my force and shoved it back at Colin, it went through his heart.

"No....no.....NO!" Colin screamed as he fell to the floor, but before he actually came into contact with the floor he was dust.

"Goodbye old friend." I said as I walked towards the screaming crowd.

As I ran towards the crowd I made sure to count all the kids who where being devoured. 1....2....3...4. There were four kids that have had all the blood sucked out of them.

As I ran by a table I grabbed a peg and ripped it off. I was going to stab the kids who had been bitten before they awoke as vampires. I got to the crowd and ran past a few kids and got to one of the kids who had their blood sucked up. I knew it is a cruel thing but it will spread if he’s not killed, I stuck the peg into him and he melted to dust. I got up and headed for the second kid but ran into a fist and flopped to the ground.

It was another one of the members of the group that had started it all. It was the female member but her name slipped my mind. Without hesitation I put my leg against her chest and lifted her up and flung her over my head with my legs. She fell onto the peg that we right next to the other member named Mark.

Before I was able to get up a hand grabbed my leg, it was the kid who was bitten, and I stabbed him to put him out of his misery. I had 1 member left and 2 more kids, and then Marv.

"No....." I said as I saw the other 2 kids that had been bitten, one was Mark, who had been my friend through all the pains that I have had. I crawled over to him to see his eyes opened. He looked up at me as if he saw some strange light.

"Luke, you have to put my out of my pain." Mark said. "I knew that you were a vampire from the start, you always tried to cover it up but I saw you pass a mirror and there was no reflection there, plus you tried to avoid all the lights in the school. But I wasn’t afraid, I knew you wouldn’t hurt me, you were good."

"Mark I can't kill you, you know that. You have been my best friend after Colin died....well after I thought he died." I said as tears started to burn their way through my eyes.

"You have to though Luke, I think you were born for a purpose and that purpose would be to save the world this time around rather then let them slip through your fingers again."

"I guess you are right......" I said as I raised the peg above my head, I was ready to stab him. But I couldn’t do it; I lowered the peg back down. Mark placed his hand on the peg and grabbed it from me.

"I'll do it. You couldn’t if you tried. I know the monster I'm going to become so I need to stop it." Mark said with his last words. He then thrusted it into his heart, I didn't see the rest because I turned around. Seeing my best friend kill himself to save others had to be the bravest thing I could think of. I couldn't let his death go in vein.

I rose to my feet and saw dust slip between my legs. I knew where it had come from.

"Your friend must have some guts to just go ahead and stab himself like that, especially in front of you." An evil voice said behind me, I knew who it was.

"Marv, you aren’t going to win. The rest of the kids that were here are already gone, they escaped."

"Yes, but we think it will be best if we just kill you now instead. Nothing else really matters now, because if we did attempt again for something like this you would be there to stop us. We aren’t willing to take that chance, so we will kill you now. You crossed us brother." Marv said with the stench of blood.

"I'm not your brother, I never will be. I hate your kind."

"So does that mean you hate yourself?"

"No, I hate vampires that go out and murder. But I guess there is no real other kind of vampires other then myself." I say as I watch the last of Marks dust float off.

"Yes you are special. But you haven’t been the first vampire to turn against their brothers and sisters."

"Well let’s hope that I can kill you all and be the last." I retorted as I ran at him. This was it, number one goal to kill Marv.

Marv dodge my first punch and my second. He grabbed me and tossed me and I landed at the feet of another one of the kids who had been bitten. I stabbed the kid while I was down. I will hold back my tears until I kill Marv.

He jumps back and lets his last assistant attack me, I have had enough. I hold out the peg and the assistant runs right into it, blood flows from his mouth and then melts to dust.

"Just you and me now, Marv." I say as I throw the peg behind me.

"No, just me." He said as he jumps at me. He knocks me back. We lock arms, trying to push the other away. I kick him in the leg and he fumbles to his knees, I then knee him in the face, grab his jaw with my right hand the roof of his mouth with my left. I then rip his mouth in half. He falls to the floor and makes a strange noise with his mouth missing. I toss his mouth behind me and near him and pick him up. He struggles to break free of my grasp, I don't let go though. I slam him through the pole that Colin pulled from the wall, but at the last minute Marv kicked me and I tripped forward, being impaled on the pole like Marv; he melted to dust before my eyes.

I looked down to see if it was my turn to turn to dust. I looked down and saw nothing uncommon other then a pole going through me, but then I saw where the pole was going through. My heart, which is if I ever had one. My legs gave in and I fell to the floor. Well now I could see Mark again, be in a better place. My hands started to melt to dust, this was it.

Then it all went black.
