Chapter Five
December
How the hell did this happen? I found a guy who is perfect, my family accepts him, Jayson wasn't too much of an ass, and now I'm a vampire. I started to laugh hysterically. Who would have thought the promiscuous, twink-slut who always had cuts and bruises would end up like this? How fuckin' ironic!
"December, stop fuckin' laughing, you stupid fuck!" Camille said as she tried to bitch slap me back into reality. Before her hand could touch me, I moved, blindingly fast, just getting out the way of her hand. As I did that, the dry feeling in my throat began to kill me again.
"Shit..." Camille whispered. I could hear the wet pulsating sound of Jared's heart. It sounded appetizing. Jared's smell, which always turned me on, was killing me. My overly sensitive nose was filled with only him. Then, before I knew it, a sound that I never made before bubbled out of my throat -- a growl. I wanted Jared in ways that I couldn't figure out. I wanted him sexually, as if to mate, and I wanted him as...as...food. Before I could do anything, Camille whisked me away.
Camille began running. She must have been running fast because people seemed to not notice her. I recalled learning in one of my science classes that if something went fast enough, the human eye will not be able to see it. However, I saw everything with perfect clarity -- all the way down to the fibers in the polluted Manhattan air. Camille stopped in a dark alley. Then she began checking my eyes. "Fuck..." she muttered again. The air smelt surprisingly delicious, which was odd with the usual Manhattan smog. Camille stared at me again, but this time she smiled.
"Okay sweetie, lemme explain some things," Camille began. "First of all, you're a vampire...get over the fact because it's not that fuckin' unbelievable. I'm a vamp," Camille extended her fangs for emphasis. "Your whole family is full of vampires, as well as mine." I stared at Camille and smiled at her crazy bluntness.
"I have a question for you now -- why the hell do I feel like my throat has been covered in sand paper?" I asked.
"What do you think it means, doll?" Camille replied with a raised eyebrow that said that the answer was pretty obvious.
"Lemme guess...I need blood."
"Bingo, sweets." Camille began sniffing the air. "Okay, lovely, I'm gonna teach you lure." I looked at her skeptically. She began to explain further, "Lure is a technique that all blood suckers of the worlds (yes, vamps aren't the only blood drinkers) use. It's basically like whispering into a human's head and telling them to come to you...luring them towards you." I nodded, ready to do this thing. "Okay, now let's start with the first part -- find a scent you like...just relax and breathe in." I did as she told me. The most delicious smell, well not as delicious as Jared's scent, wafted towards me. I opened my eyes. I was panting and my fangs were extended as I was beyond salivating. Camille put a hand on my arm as she said, "I see you found a scent. Now next thing is to lure in the owner of that scent. Close your eyes and try to picture the person that holds that aroma. Where does it lead you?" I did as she said. The scent led me to a perky blonde. The picture I got was of a girl who was lanky, but curvaceous; she had electric blue eyes, full, pink-n'-pouty and honey blonde hair that was slicked back into a high ponytail. She had on a pure white pressed-to-perfection tennis outfit with a cobalt blue tennis racket. I could tell that if I killed her, no one would care or notice. Her parents died in a tragic car accident (in their case, limo accident) and she was an only child. Her parents were only children and their parents were either estranged or dead. The girl was living in a big, fat brownstone in NoHo, or North Hollywood.
I opened my eyes again. It was like I could hear the wet pumping sound of her heart and the slosh of her blood going through her veins...the sounds made me growl in hunger and thirst. Camille's lips curved in satisfaction. "Good. Now send her a thought. Tell her to come to you." I did as Camille said and my vision of her changed. The girl was coming towards me. I licked my parched lips in anticipation. Cami tapped me. "Now hide. We're creatures of the dark so it shouldn't be too hard." Camille and I blended easily into the dark alley as the girl padded into the deepest part of it. The prey was coming closer to the predator.
"Hello?" The girl had a slightly soprano voice. Camille whispered to me, "Now we gotta knock her out. Send her sleep or faint." I did as Camille said and with my super speed, I caught her before she hit the hard concrete.
"Good. Now we gotta use glamour." Camille said. I looked at her, lost. "A glamour is kinda like a shield so that normal humans can't see the reality. The supernatural can't see anything either, but they know when a glamour is being used and can see through it when they concentrate." I nodded in understanding. "Okay so let's try it out, doll. Concentrate. Think glamour or shield" I did as she said and focused. A little shimmery outline appeared before the alley opening and around the area of the alley. So this was a glamour.
After that, I wasn't sure what to do next. I looked at Camille for assurance. She nodded at the girl in my arms as I smiled in delight at the thought of taking my first blood. I sunk my sharp, white, ominously glowing fangs into her jugular vein. The crimson liquid was just divine. It was thick like molasses and tasted like the girl's feelings -- sorrow, depression, fear, loneliness. I moaned at the delicious taste. One part of me was seriously pissed when it heard the slowing of her heart and the slowing of the blood flow. It was like a feral side of me. It wasn't happy when the blood stopped. Suddenly I had sharp, ebony tipped claws and my fangs, which were sharp, alluring, and slightly sexy, were now ebony tipped and extended far beyond my mouth. The other me ripped into the girl's throat and licked whatever excess blood was there and did the same to various parts of her body. When it was done, I was back to my normal self. "Damn Deci, you OD'd on the poor bitch." Camille said. I looked at the mangled body. The girl had bloody, long gashes on various areas of her body. Some gashes showed hints of bone in them. "Damn, I sure as hell did a number on her." I replied.
"Don't worry sweets. I did a hell of a lot worse when I took my first blood. Adri was the only one that didn't tear her person to pieces."
