Cross

I stood in the aisle where the woman pads were. I grabbed the right pack for my girlfriend and then walked to the cashier. She smiled at me and I did the same. "Do you have a bathroom?" I ask.

"Yes. It's in the back." She stated.

"Okay, then I'll leave this here for a while." I left my basket of junk food and pads on the counter. After I used the bathroom and came back to the cashier, she was shaking.

"Are you alright?" I ask.

"N-No...some guy just robbed the store." She answered. "I called the cops."

I bit my lips. "Can I quickly get this?" I hand her the basket.

She nods her head and starts right away. It took a minute for her to finish. When she did, I left her a twenty and quickly ran out the door. It was dark outside so I took out my phone and turned on the flashlight. I quietly looked at each alley and walked on. Then I heard some shoveling near an alley and turned off the flashlight. I look in the dark alley to see a pair of red glowing eyes. I quickly turned on the flashlight and yelled. "Put your hands up!"

I saw an Asian boy with blood all over his mouth and his teeth into a guy with a mask. He smiled at me and greeted me. "W-What are you? Put the guy down now." I order. He immediately dropped the guy down and used two fingers to do something to his neck.

I heard sirens nearing us and he looked up at the sky. "So this is how I meet you? Well, that's a good thing because I can finally know how your blood tastes like." He smirks at me and walks near me.

"Don't take another step." I firmly commanded but he didn't listen to me. What did he mean by finally meeting me? Has he been stalking me? No way, I would have noticed that I was being watched. As he comes closer to me, I drop the bag in my hands and quickly knock him down. "You are under arrest."

"I am?" He asked. He got up and líderes me up as well.

"W-What are you?" I ask after he pushed me off.

"I am-"

"Let's check this alley!" I heard some familiar voices.

"Aw, looks like I got to go." He vanishes into the air and I was left speechless. What the heck was he? A vampire? That would explain the fangs and the eyes. But vampires don't exist.

"Ay, look! Valdez is here!" I hear one of my Co-workers, Jack, shout and he pointed his flashlight at me.

"Did you caught the criminal?" Bob asked.

"Yeah...I kinda jumped on them." I chuckle.

They look back to see two bodies on the floor passed out. "Wow, our baby has actually caught criminals! I hope you were that scared." Jack chuckled.

"Why would I be scared?" I roll my eye at him.

Just then my girlfriend called and I excused myself from them, leaving them with the criminals. She called to ask about the pads and I told her that I was on my way.

I am Cross Valdez. I'm twenty-two years old, that makes me the youngest in my department. Which means that I get babied a lot by the department. I like working as a cop but sometimes people don't take me seriously. I try to make them understand that I can be taken seriously but nothing ever works.

I also just witnessed a vampire feeding. I got shivers just thinking about what the boy said. I finally got to my girlfriend apartment. She tackled me with a huge hug and then nagged me for being late.

I was about to explain to her about what happened but I didn't want to stress her more.
