chapter 7

I woke up to the burning sensation in my stomach.

"ugh..." I whined when the bright light of the sun assaulted my eyes.

I lifted my hand up to block the sun, but noticed something.

on my arm was an IV.

I followed the tube filled with a red liquid all the way back to it origin.

there hanged a quart bag of blood half-assedly ducktaped to the back of the seat in front of me.

"ah, your awake." a famailer voice chuckled.

I looked over, now realizing I'm in a car, at the driver.

"Sam!?" I questioned, confused.

"why are we in a car, wait, where are we?" I questioned.

"if I drove in the right direction, LA." he said with a grin.

...

"WHAT!?" I screamed, "LA, why the fuck are we in LA, I need to get back home!"

after the last words left my mouth the memories of before I lost consciousness where displayed like a camraroll.

I gnashed my teeth, 'no, that didn't happen, there's no way it did...'

I lowered my head letting my hair cover my eyes.

"Sam... we need to turn back... my family they-" I pleaded but was cut off.

"there dead..." Sam said in a distant voice.

"what?" I asked in a shakey voice.

"I'll give you a run down of what happened since you don't remember." Sam started.

~

Sam's pov, I was lounging in my chair looking up at the red moon, "huh, I didn't think there was an eclipse tonight..." I said taking another drag of my blunt.

it's been like two days since we hangout I think.

"Jake didn't show up for class today, and since we have morning classes he should've been there, and now that I think of it Johnny and his boy band weren't there either..." I muttered to myself.

out of nowhere a being appeared in front of me, holding a large bag filled with lots of unidentifiable things.

the creature was definitely a chick judging by the curvy body and long red hair.

'damn, a big chest too' I thought to myself.

her face distorted into a look of disgust, bit quickly turned into a look of seriousness.

"he's awakening..." she said, looking up at the blood red moon

"if you don't stop him, he'll go on a rampage throughout the town." she said in a neutral tone, "and if that happens I'll be forced to do something..."

hearing the last words she said, I became hostile, a dagger appeared in my hand and with an unnatural speed I placed it against her throat.

"you touch him and it will be the last thing you do..." I said in a dark voice.

"hmm so I was right..." she said with a smile that showed two large fangs, "you know what he is don't you?"

"how did you find out, I locked all information down, not even he knows what he is." I said with a hint of concern on my voice.

"because I'm his ward." she said as her smile grew.

"ward?" I asked.

"I've been watching him for years..." she explained, "more precisely since the too of you arrived in this town."

"impossible, I've completely scouted this town and there was no damn blood sucker in it!" I rebutted.

there's no way I missed a vampire, let alone one this powerful.

"just take this and when you've calmed him down feed it to him it doesn't need to be directly fed to him right now it just needs to enter his body..." she said with a tired expression.

I hesitated, 'I don't know if I can trust her, especially since she knows about jake.'

"you don't have to trust me, just know that your running out of time..." she stated with a matter-of-factly tone.

"fine..." I muttered in a defeated voice.

I grabbed the bag from her, she smiled and in a flash she disappeared.

"damn Vampires..." I hissed.

~

I was now down the street from Jake's house, noticing the dark presence around the house I started to get nervous.

the door was open, I was on high alert walking through the house.

coming across the kitchen I saw Megan laying on the floor with blood pooled around her, I inspected her closer and saw her head was mutilated.

I didn't bother going up stairs since I already know what's up there.

more corpses.

I walked towards the back slide in door that led to the back patio.

pearing through the glass door I saw several different people with black suits and gloves, holding different types of weapons.

they where surrounding someone.

when I got a closer view my entire being filled with dred at the site in front of me.

it was Jake but his appearance was different.

his cloths had multiple tears in them, his hair was now milk white, his eyes where glowing blood red, and he has claws where his nails should be.

but what really caught my attention was the odd markings all over his body and the black flames that spread over parts of his body.

with closer inspection I saw he was holding one of the men in suits by the neck.

the man struggled under his grasp.

"what are you guy waiting for kill this son of a b-" he ordered but was cut off.

snap!

his body went limp as Jake snapped his neck with a squeeze.

seeing the scene in front of them the groups confidence wavered and fear started to sink in.

"he killed the commander with one damn hand!?" one said in disbelief.

"what the fuck is this!?" another one cried out in fear.

"calm down you dumbasses, it's just a monster..." one of them rallied his allies, "and what do we do to monsters?"

"we hunt them!" they said in unison.

with the fear within them gone they summoned weapons out of nothing.

swords, daggers, staffs, guns, multiple different weapons.

one by one they'd attack him, stabbing slashing, and shooting, yet Jake never dodged or countered, just stood there.

after they finished all there attacks one of then spoke, "why isn't he dropping, we attacked him with inchanted weapons!?"

"I-I don't know..." another one responded.

"why isn't he attacking?" another questioned.

suddenly Jake's face twisted into a bloodthirsty smile.

"my turn..." he said in a demonic voice.

Jake disappeared from his spot and reappeared infront of the one that rallied his allies.

Jake plunged his hand into the man's chest.

"gah!" the man wailed in pain as his heart was ripped out.

he dropped to the ground dead, Jake looked at the still beating heart in his hand with a curious look, but instantly turned into disgust.

"disgusting..." he said as he crushed the heart and through it to the ground with a wet plop.

"I'm going to kill all of you!" he roared.

one by on he ripped them apart, and in the matter of minutes they where all dead.

the faint sound of sirens could be heard in the distance.

Jake hearing the sirens started to scowl.

he started to walk towards the noise, most likely to do something he'd regret.

I stepped out of the house, "Jake, you gotta calm down..." I said in a low voice.

he looked at me with cold eyes like he didn't recognize me.

"I know your pissed but we need to get out of here..." I said easing toward him.

I put my hand on his shoulder expecting him to attack or distance himself but he didn't.

"sorry man..." I said in an apologetic tone.

he looked at me curiously before I slammed my fist in his stomach, knocking him out.

I quickly picked him up and headed towards the garage, seeing Megan's car I put Jake in the back seat looked in the bag that the vampire gave me, I found a a bunch of quart sized bags of blood along with a needle.

remembering that she said it doesn't need to directly be consumed, it just needs to enter his body, I took the needle and pushed it trough a vain on his forearm. after he was settled I taped the blood bag to the back of the seat, went back inside to find the keys, and after finding them went back to the car.

hearing the engine roar to life I sped off.
