He ran panting. He kept running for miles. The night sky was brighter than ever. The full moon watching him as he ran. He didn't know whether it was following him or not,he just had to leave the woods.
"Hey!". The lady he had bumped into exclaimed.
"I'm sorry". He said about to run off again when the lady held him in place calling out to her teammates.
"Breathe,breathe. Now tell us what you saw and why you're running?". The lady asked politely. The man however was still interested in running.
"He's coming, coming for us all. You've got to get out of the woods it's for your own good". The man managed to say.
Whistling sounds were heard from a distance but no one could tell where it came from. An eerie vibe filled the air, birds scattering in a hurry....
"He's coming". The man said as he started taking few steps back.
"Who's coming?". The lady asked as her team arrived.
"He's a blood thirsty monster, there's a dead body,a.....a....a vampire." He stammered.
"But I.... I...". She chocked on her own words as sharp claws passed right through her centre. Blood spilled on grass painting it red. She dropped dead for her teammates to see. A creature... a shadow that couldn't be seen in the dark stood in front of the already dead girl. "Oh sh.... shit". He tried to run. Fear written all over him ,turned and ran the little distance his body could permit him to. The shadow moved as fast as light.
"Please.. I have a family ".He said as he was held by the shadowy creature, a grip so firm he couldn't move.He screamed in agony as the vampire sank his fangs into the victim's neck. That was all it took to scare the hell out of the last girl standing as she shook with fear. The body dropped completely drained of blood,white and pale. The creature lifted it's head as he stared at the last girl standing. It's eyes fiery red and lips seductive and stained with blood of it's victims. He moved closer and his face glistenened under the moonlight. His dark hair caressed his face. A sly smile creeped in showing his fangs filling the girl with enough fear and nightmares to last a lifetime. She ran, increasing her pace without looking back.
*********
Mr Smith and his family decided to have family time that Saturday. They made pancakes,toast breads and scrambled eggs.
Evelyn's phone rang interrupting their family time.
"Sorry I'll get it". Evelyn apologized as she answered the phone."Hello".
"Turn on your Tv now and listen to the news". Mia screamed from the other side.
"Wow, you're loud". Evelyn said as she pulled the phone away and hung up.
She turned on the TV and went back to the kitchen only to retrace her steps to listen.
"... It hasn't been proved that a vampire was responsible for the death of two victims;one has been identified as Mr Lewis stoner and the other as Miss Ariel,a botanist". The reporter said clutching her microphone as if her life depended on it. She was at the scene of the crime as she spoke images of the dead victims, all drained up was displayed on the screen;her voice in the background. Evelyn screamed in fright dropping the TV remote alerting her parents who rushed into the living room.
"Oh my God". Mrs Smith exclaimed as she sat to avoid falling."Isn't that you're theology teacher?". She added.
Evelyn nodded pacing around the room as she dialed Mia's number panicking.
"Did you see it?". Mia asked only this time there were noises in the background."Nate,pls can you be quiet, I'm on the phone". Mia complained.
"I saw it and I can't believe it...." Evelyn said sitting as her parents sat next to her. She kept shaking with fear.
"... vampires don't exist,they... they don't".
"I thought the same but turns out they are, I guess I have to start reading fantasy novels because I'm completely shaken with fear". " You told...is that Nate in the background".
"Yeah, he's here with Ted. They heard the news and ran all the way here to inform me".
"Oh ok..". Her voice trailed off as she put Mia on hold and decided to listen to the news.
"... We are discouraging anyone from panicking as that would endanger everyone around them. Researchers are still on the case;DO NOT,I repeat DO NOT panic. We are not sure if this is a vampire or a freak of nature...". Evelyn switched off the TV not bothering if her parents still wanted to watch
" I'll see you in school on Monday; we'll talk better there". Evelyn told Mia over the phone.
"Ohh okay, bye then". Mia replied and hung up.
Evelyn ran into the safety of her mother's arms.
"It's okay dear. It's just an accident there's no way vampires exist, hmm". Mrs Smith consoled her although in a tone that seemed off.She didn't pay attention to it. She was too worried to care why her mother sounded like that.Evelyn wasn't so sure about that ; somehow all clues point to Damian and she's not giving up until she gets to the bottom of it.
