Falling For Hate
Chapter Two
Everywhere I looked people were screaming and being massacred. My fingers were trembling repetitively; it was like being inside a Stephen King novel. If I wasn’t scared to death I would have stopped to heave, the visuals around me were unimaginable. The ground was literally being painted red, I swear if another limb...Oh, I had to fight back vomit. Poor Megan was taking in much worse; she was beginning to slow. She was no longer sprinting; she was more or less dragging herself.
“Come on Megan were almost there! You can’t give up now! Do you want that to happen to you?” I pointed to a lifeless corpse that laid only maybe ten feet away. It was so messed up I wouldn’t have been able to tell it was a girl, if it weren’t for the dress she was wearing.
Suddenly Megan screamed at the top of her lungs. My head snapped back to see what was happening. One of the leeches was crouched in front of her. His lips were dripping blood. The red painted his pale skin wildly like he was little more than a beast. I didn’t know what to do; I couldn’t let Megan die. Yet there was nothing I could do. I knew the gate was only maybe fifty feet away, we could try to run but...Could we both out run a vampire? I was already tired from all of the rides and games, practically dead on my feet. Megan didn’t seem any better.
I was shocked to hear the creature laugh as it came closer to her. She nearly tripped over her own feet trying to put space in between her and it.
I looked around hastily trying to find something, anything to help.
All at once in a split second the creature launched it’s self at Megan. She started to scream. The sound of her voice became distant, all around me darkness started to cave in.
Someone was slowly suffocating me; an iron-strong hand was gripping my face, cutting of the airflow for my mouth and nose.
This was it; I was dying while watching my best friend die. What away to go, at the hands of bloodthirsty vampires. I wouldn’t even get to find out whether or not Mrs. Drean had anything to do with it.
Finally the world disappeared and I felt my knees hit the ground. Something inside my head snapped. Why was I giving up?
With what little strength I had I pushed up onto my feet. My attacker started too much me back down. As a reflex my arms swung back aiming for their face. They were caught.
I felt impeccably weak compared to my attacker. It wasn’t fair, why was I dieing alone at the hands of a monster? It just isn’t fair!
Trying to remember some of the self-defense tricks I’d learned last year during a school program, I slung my leg out toward his kneecaps. It did as much good as hitting stone with a feather. Now my foot ached, great I was going to die with more pain than necessary.
“Calm down! I swear your going to break yourself!” Oh yeah, that would be so horrible. I was going to die anyway, what? Did he not like his blood bags bruised? Just to piss him off, I wiggled more like a fish out of water.
He flipped me around easily, to were he still had a hold on my wrists but I was facing him now. I was amazed none of my bones broke in the process, he really must be picky how he gets his blood.
Why did vampires have to be so damn freaking hot? He had perfect dark purple hair; it was such an unusual color. Almost reddish. That was just long enough to touch the middle of her neck. He had striking fern green eyes. His body wasn’t overly built, yet you could see the light rolling muscles under his clothes. Everything about him screamed ’Different’. He was wearing dark pants that looked like the fabric was light and soft yet stern, not easy to rip. His shirt reminded me of the Middle East. Sort of like a tunic, though it was obvious in his facial features and voice that he was American. How very odd, I was going to be killed by the only sane vampire. Well at least I was special. Somehow my luck was still good, even when fate turned sour it still gave me the longer end of the stick. How nice.
“What no screaming, your not going to hit me...” He titled his head to the left. Oh I’m going to mess with his head, if I was going to die he’s going to pay for it.
“Oh no. I’m not maybe I’ll talk your head off instead. How’s the weather up there?” He was abnormally tall, at least 6’5, so the insult fit.
“Oh lovely. How’s it down there?” I can’t believe that bloodsucker is playing along!
“Hmm. A bit dark but I’m not complaining.” He chuckled once.
“Oh is that so? Aren’t you just peachy?” I snickered, like I give a damn.
“Yeah I am. Though it looks like we’ll be expecting a little red rain soon.” Right on Q, a little blood splashed in my face. I smiled sarcastically. I stole a glance towards Megan only to find nothing. She was gone as well as the leech. I hope she’s not in pain.
Instead there were two new people. A leech and a helpless human. The provider of our rain.
“Such a lovely way to describe dinner.” I shook my head and rolled my eyes. My stomach turned in fear and disgust but I kept the game going.
“What can I say I’m poetic.” He grinned.
“As you should be.” What the hell was that suppose to mean? After a minute’s pause he began to speak again.
“Now we can do this one of two ways. One I can drag you painfully or you can walk willingly.”
Huh? He raised his eyebrows, waiting for my response. I raised my eyebrows in response. Why give up now? The game is just getting good. He started to laugh.
“Stubborn aren’t we?” I glared at him. He wasn’t going to win.
“Oh.... Is that how it’s going to be. Well that’s too bad.” In a quick movement he throw me over his shoulder. It was really uncomfortable; I was wearing a red and black plaid skirt. It was slightly above my knees, the pervert willingly stuck my legs in front of him while my head hung against his back. Oh the joy.
“Put me down!” He sighed.
“It’s about time you reacted properly. I was beginning to worry you were developing brain damage from trauma or shock which ever comes first.” Why is he so worried about me?
“So is that a no?”
“Well you really didn’t ask a question, it was more of a demand. But yeah that’s a no.” I growled under my breathe. He couldn’t just kill me could he?
“Look I’m sure you have a busy schedule as do I. If your not going to kill me I have places to be...”
“I’m sure you do. Though, if I let you go Ryain you are going to die.” WTF?! How did he know my name...? Now not only is he an evil blood-sucking leech he’s now a creepy stalker, evil blood-sucking leech. Wow, fate sure knows how to pick ’em. Anyways, I knew he was right. I just didn’t understand why I wasn’t dead yet. I wouldn’t ask though, I know eventually I’ll have my answers, there’s no use to get impatient.
“You know the shock is now beyond questions. I think I’ll be quiet now.” He chuckled and I swear he rolled his eyes to. He began to walk towards the gate. After a few minutes of silence, (Well other than the screams in the background.) he became bothered by my lack of speech.
“Hmmm. How come I have to deal with the silent treatment? I didn’t do anything to you...Well yet anyways.” I frowned, I really didn’t know what was going on, his voice almost sounded amused like this was all just a walk in a park.
“Silent treatment? No just silence.” We were at the gate now, it was locked of course. If that wasn’t enough there were two leeches hunched near the gate, I guess to guard it.
They both looked up at my attacker. One of them nodded and slithered to the lock. He paused to hunt for key in his pocket, then a a swift movement he unlocked the gate.

your story is so addicting:)
Um. I didn't mean YJNX I kind of ment THNX. Sorry.
Sun, August 10th, 2008 6:03pmHad to read the next chapter. Again, it was very good, yet I still believe you could take a tiny tiny bit more time in really creating the surroundings.
This is very well written, and your narrator is very comical in some parts. There was only one typo I found and I think that is you meant to say "his" but you put her.
hah im laughin already
Wed, August 13th, 2008 3:49pmHm. creepy vampire pervert.classic.LIKES!!!!!XD!!!!XP!!
(P.S. vampires are pretty looking so its easy to hunt. An adaptation, like the angler fishes lure. that's my theory anyways)
Well I found a couple grammar errors. One you should never use MSN slang in stories, like when you used "WTF!" I suppose it can be funny, but it's "improper". Just thought I'd let you know, unless you already knew that and just did it for the heck of it...I do that sometimes. Anyway I guess I did manage to read chapter 2 without getting too freaked out. So I'll stop reading for now and get back to it later.

I'm sorry...It was a joke. I know not to. This is actually my ruff draft. I'm working on a mauscript (I've very serious about my work) and I'm having like a bunch of my friends peer edit. :( Without spell check my words wouldn't be readable. Thank you for reading my story, and thank you for being honest. Haha I hate the classic "OMG update now!!!"
Have a good night. :)
What do you think is the best remedy for a good sleep (ok, I'll bargain for a normal one) after reading all this? I am going to be up all night worrying about Megan. Ok, now to the next chapter.
I think I am one of the lucky few who have the next chapters ready to be read before them. I shiver to think what it would have been like when you had just updated this chapter and the next chapter(s) would have been in the pipeline and unavailable.
You're doing a very good job.
