He saw her, a young girl, pretty, innocent. "See me" he commanded without words. The girl looked up in his clear grey-green eyes and was instantly in trance.
Suddenly she was tapped on the shoulder by some bald fat dude holding a packet of cleaning spunges in his hand. "How much is it, and quick I don't have much time." While she read the price on the computer the bastard kept tapping his foot. She looked at his greasy hair in disgust.
How she hated this stupid job, this stupid life aswell. She wanted to go back to the nice daydream she was having, but she couldn't find back those beautiful eyes so she decided to do something exciting, check the cash register!
While she was grumbling, a sudden clinging made her look up in the most strange eyes she had ever seen. It was as if they changed color as she was watching them, as if a storm was remixing the colors over and over. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, I just needed the todays newspaper." She smiled a little : "Which one sir" "Tomorrow, if you please" "What? I'm sorry, you want me to give you the newspaper tomorrow?" "No the newspaper is called Tomorrow" He gave her such a sweet smile her heart seemed to stop beating for a second. God, she felt so stupid, what must he think of her.
She felt she was blushing and suddenly realised he was watching her intensely. "It's OK, I'll take it and be on my way" "No, don't go yet, your change, sir." " He smiled "Keep it" She was amazed how enchanting his smile was. As she was putting the money in the till she heard the church tower, five in the morning : the hour of her release. She walked home with the distinct feeling someone was watching her, she walked a bit faster. She was happy when she closed the door behind her. Her mother was probably still sleeping. While she crept in her bed she kept seeing his smile.
He watched as she walking home to make sure nothing bad happened to her. Something like him.
He felt a pain, sharp. A hunger he had to still. He heard footsteps... as he tasted the blood and felt it running through his vains he felt the giult. Still, after all these years, still felt it. He walked home to his darkened appartment, through the coulds he saw a stripe of light piercing through. "Have to be quick" He opened the door and put his keys on the table. He looked at the mirror "Not bad for a seventy-year-old" he smiled at his reflection but he closed his mouth quickly when he saw the blood on his teeth...
She woke up early that day, early in the afternoon, that is. But it was Sunday so it didn't matter. She stretched herself like a lean cat and got out of bed. Everything slowly and calmly. As she opened the door the smell of freshly baked pancakes filled her nostrils. She walked into the kitchen and saw her mother sitting in one of the chairs. She was on the phone with one of her friends and had a big smile on her face, and a feeling of pure happinness filled her heart. Madeline had been very ill the last months and it had been a world turned upside down. Kitana had to be the adult who had to take care of her mother. But now she seemed better, oh if only the cancer wouldn't return... "Goodmorning" Her mother gave her a bright smile and got up to give Kitana some pancakes while she was still blabbering away.
After the meal Kitana went to her room to study, the finals were not far off and she really wanted to pass. After dinner she felt the urge to go for a walk. As she closed the door she heard her mother say "Don't be too long, tomorrow's a school day you know. The sun had just set and the sky was like an impressionistic painting, colors of pi,k and purple filled the sky. As she looked closely she saw the dark blue fading in. It was like a game it wanted to play with the other colors, she knew it would win. darkness always wins...
William woke up and opened his eyes. As he reached for the light he remembered he had to hand in a deadline for the paper, he was doing a story on the mysterious killings in the neighbourhood. Little did his boy know HE was responsible for them. Anyway, he liked his job, it didn't require having to go to work in the daytime and it paid well, so...He realised he was hungry and decided to get someone to eat.
The air was cold and sharp, it brought tears to his eyes. Walking down the road he saw a shadow, he killed him quickly, without a sound. The guy never knew what hit him, or better what bit him.
A sound, a figure in the distance, he was still hungry. She saw a shape in the streetlight and as she got closer she recognised him. 'Shit, it's her,what am I suposed to say? I thought the women business was going to get easier as the years passed, huge mistake!' 'God give me strength, he's coming closer. OK, here goes nothing...' William cleared his throat: "Goodevening" (did that sound ancient or what?!) "Yeah, hi!"(Oh, that sounded SO childish)"Aren't you that euh (guy,man, handsome cutie, quick, say something)person(nice save!) from the shop yesterday?" (if he says yes he remembered you, wonderful, if he says no he has amnesia or he just doesn't want to talk to me) "Well yeah" "Yes I thought I recognised you,you should come buy more often... Did he just hear that? "Yeah we have such great things in our shop" Oh help, sometimes she wished her brain wasn't connected with her mouth! He just smiled and nodded. Then he reached out for her and she cringed. "I just wanted to give you my coat." So he put his coat over her shoulder and as they touched she shuddered, it was magic, like in the movies. He must have felt it too, because he looked at her so intensely. His eyes seemed to hypnotise her and slowly her came closer and his lips touched her. She was startled at first but then she really went up in the feeling that overcame her.
It was like hours had passed when he let her go, and Kitana had to catch her breath. The kiss had been so intense and she didn't dare to look in his eyes. William didn't know what to say and put his hand under her chin to lift her head. As he looked in her eyes he knew she felt the same. This overwhelming feeling of love and lust. The feeling they HAD to be together, now, here in this moment.
He didn't say a word and just led here through the streets, barely touching her but they both felt an electric field between them. As they reached his appartment he asked if she was sure she wanted to go through with this. "Yes, This is right, I feel it"
He led her to the bed and softly he touched her cheek, and kissed her neck, her breasts. She seemed to be on fire and where he kissed her, he left a trace of burning marks. He undressed her quickly and elegantly he undressed himself. He had a kind of feminine side to him and that fascinated her. He was skinny but beautiful, not handsome but beautiful. He smiled like an evil angel would do. His eyes promised so much. They were both naked now and the feeling of their skin touching was paralysing. This was meant to be, fate, destiny. God's will, no,their will, for there was no-one left but them. The world seemed to disappear. Their love was pure. As he moved in her,she seemed to explode with every move, every breath he took. The delight of their connection, their minds thinking alike, knowing what the other wanted. As they reached the point of ecstacy together, he looked straight her and whispered words of love and he meant every single one.
The next morning she awoke and William was still asleep. He was so gorgious, she didn't want to wake him so she left him a note. Walking home she was thinking what to tell her mother. But suddenly she felt this eery feeling:something was wrong. She opened the door and saw her mother lying in the sofa, she tiptoed to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. It felt so cold. "No, please..she isn't breathing" SHE WASN'T BREATHING! She cried out and immediately the neighbours came to see what was going on. It seemed like everything was in slowmotion, the doctor confirming the death death taking her away.
She couldn't take it anymore and ran away, it was dark again, she let her sadness control her. How she hated the world, God, how she hated him. He's an asshole, controling the world and ruining lives with just a wave of his hand (if he has any)She went on raving. God is a sadistic bastard, why else would he let people die such terrible deaths? let psycho's walk among them. Maybe he's one himself.
Ofcourse! He's a schizophrenic. The devil isn't a 'fallen angel' it's god, the other personality of god, the evil twin as it were. Why else would he still be here? I mean if you're all powerfull and you make a mistake, you correct it,right?
She was tired of all this philosophising and wandered through the streets. Suddenly she saw William. Though she was afraid she came closer. William starled as he saw her. "God"he gasped. "Don't ever say that again" she answered and kissed him. She told him what had happened, he told her his secret, that he was a vampire and he drank blood of the living to stay alive. He expected her to scream or run away, but she did nothing of the sort. She just smiled "You know, it was always a fantasy of mine to become a vampire" But then she started crying. "I hate the world! I hate everything but you! I love you!" "Join me then, don't say anything and let me give you the kiss of death so we can die and love, and be together forever" She smiled through her tears and he came closer, kissed her lips and then her neck.
A sharp pain filled her body and then she felt a warm thick fluid dripping in her throat, she swallowed and opened her eyes. Willam gave her one of his angelic smiles. When she opened her eyes again she felt different, the world looked different.
They kissed and they knew, it was going to last forever, whatever happened, the world could fall apart, they would always be together, for all time
