Vampire in Hiding



Hi my name's Crimson ,this is the story of how my life was changed forever. I was walking in the deep lush forest of Woodstock,Georgia. I was prepared for a long day in the woods , I had my mp3 player and a bottle of gatorade. I was doing my usual singing.I mainly practiced with Evanescence and Flyleaf,they were both challenges for me. It wasn't very windy an occasional breeze but nothing major. I felt a sudden gust of wind and my long long curly black hair flew around my very angular face. I looked around me and saw nothing so I kept walking. But then it happened again, slightly scared I walked a bit faster. I heard mumbling and started running,I didn't know where i was going to go but i knew it had to be away from there. Then i heard laughing and it only got louder which made me
run faster and because i wasn't paying attention i ran into something...
somebody. I ended falling on him and when i opened my eyes again he was laughing so hard! I immediately jumped up and saw Jack,laughing so hard his face was red. I felt so embarassed that I started crying and hung my head low enough that he couldn't see my face. I backed away slowly and kicked him.He wouldn't stop laughing.not knowing how to make him stop I ran, i ran till i couldn't hear him anymore.I stopped running and slumped down against a tree. I just sat there and thought about everything and anger and embarrassment just exploded inside of me. Then I jumped up and started screaming"WHY???????!!!!!!!! MY DAY WAS FINE!!!!! THEN I FALL!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" I collapsed onto myhands and knees as new hot tears fell down my face, as I'm crying I hear " That's more like it,channel that emoness you hide from everybody!" Hatred immediately hit me when i realized he'd been watching me through my whole breakdown,and I jumped and just glared at him. This time i saw a flicker of fear pass across his face.We both just stood there,staring. He slowly walked up to me and didn't stop till he was 3 inches away from me."you have a really a beautiful voice"he commented. I looked up at him and he saw the tears streaks left behind"I'm sor-"he started"NO YOUR NOT!!!!!"I interrupted. The scream was loud enough that he backed away from me.I started to turn around but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back"I am sorry!"he pleaded. I couldn't take it anymore because I knew he was lying to me."IF YOUR SO SORRY THEN HOW COME YOU JUST WATCHED ME HAVE AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN AND PURPOSELY TRIPPED ME???!!!!"I screeched"I didn't know you crying and i didn't trip you,you just weren't paying attention to were you were going."Jack replied."whatever"I mumbled. I started to walk away but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back into his arms"I really am sorry!"he pleaded.I started to say something but I kept staring at his eyes,there was something very hypnotic about them.I looked down and Jack chuckled I almost lost my thoughts,instead of saying what i wanted to i ended up saying"bu-....wha-...how d-...?" I've only read about eyes like his in a Vampire book which i immediately reminded myself they don't exist(sadly). I slowly pulled away,and realizing that I was fine he let me go. I looked at him and he smiled,i tried not to smile but it escaped and he beamed triumphantly. I walked with him through the woods talking about random things. We walked to a spot where only the strongest beams of light could break through the tree caonpy. He stopped walking and I asked him"what's the matter?" he didn't answer me,so I asked him"You ok?". He looked at me like he was thinking about something really hard and i began to wonder if he was even paying attention to what i was saying the whole time."Am I missing something?"i asked again. He took a deep breath and pulled me closer to him"what's going on?"i kept asking a little more scared this time."If i tell you something you can't tell anybody,excewpt for maybe Rosemary or Elvira....this isn't your average secrect"he mumbled"Ya i promise"i replied curiously."You know how you El and Rose love vampires"Jack asked"ya,of course"i mumbled"what would you say if i told you i was one?" "i'd say your crazy and they don't exist" "i figured somebody with an obsesion as big as yours would b jumping up and down right now" "but why should get excited over something that mugth not even be true?" "Exactly,might or might not."he proposed with a crooked smile. He started walking again knowing that he'd peaked my curiousty. I kept walking with him pretending i'd forgotten about what he said when the fact that my crush my be a vampire intriuged me.

On Monday when I'm walking up to El and Rose i can't stop thinking about what Jack told me. I started remembering everything i knew about Vampires.Their speed,senses,and eyes. I don't think any normal human has eyes like his. I was beyond confused so i decided to tell El and Rose(which I would later regret). As i was walking up to them my head was hung low and I ran into Rose before i saw her feet."well hi to you to"Rose chortled,I just rolled my eyes and mumbled"shutup" "dude what's the matter with you?"El asked me"I'm just really confused and excited" "why?"El asked"ok,i ran into Jack in the woods and some weird things happened" "like what?"Rose asked,now interested I told them everything that happened and they were silent for a while.Right when I noticed that Jack wasn't here the bell rang and we all went to class.





They had Physical Education for their third period so they could talk while they walked

around their track."Are you sure he's not just leading you on to get your attention?"

Elvira asked me"I don't know that's what I keep wondering,that's why it's confusing...it might not be true"I told her"don't say that!"Rose interupted"don't say what?"I asked"Never say they don't exist!" "but Rose you do know there's a small chance that their real,right?" "Yeah,but....but what if thy are real?""then they are,good for them"I whispered.Elvira was the most sensible out of us and Rosemary the dreamer and I was the mix of both,which isn't always the easiest.The more i thought about it the more i realized that he might really be a Vampire. As both of the girls babbled on i just kept walking completely encased in what i was thinking about. The idea of Jack being a vampire would've made me laugh any other day but right now it seems to fit to well.

Later that night I thought about Jack and how I liked him and how he held me that day in the woods and i felt so special. I wondered if i should've called anybody but if i had called Rose or El they would've started fighting about if vampires are real or not and if i calledJack i'd be speechless. In the end i just decided to leave everybody alone. I didn't feel tired and i didn't know what to do to pass time,the idea of calling Jack kept creeping it's way back into my head. I fell asleep not long after laying down.

****

I had a dream that I was walking through the forest again and I kept hearing this

mumbling and laughing,I turned around and saw nothing,right when I turned around

I saw Jack and started to scream but he covered my mouth with his hand.He looked

at me and whispered"be quiet" I didn't know what was going on so I started licking his hand hoping that he'll pull his hand away,all he did was look at me smile smugly ,pick me up and run.He didn't stop till he was in front of my house.He put me down and kissed me,when he was pulling away my face went red and he chuckled.Even though it was only a dream the kiss felt real.He pushed me into my house and told me to stay there,he kissed me one more time and ran out of the house. I woke up right after that.I knew i had to get ready for school but thought about the dream a little more.



****

At school i decided to tell Rose and El about the dream,we all wanted to ask him some questions but he wasn't there.Now that i thought about it he wasn't there the day before that."isn't that just a little bit weird?"I asked"what?"Rose and El asked"he suggests he's a vampire and then doesn't show up"I pushed"that is a little bit odd"El mumbled"See!"Rose pushed"I never said he was!"El retorted.Rose rolled her eyes and I started to wonder if i should've even told them.We finally decided that only I would ask him questions.They said i had to tell them everything he told me but I think i'll tell them as much as i want to.
still working on it
