I continued reading the letter over again making sure that it wasn't some kind of sick joke. But as I read through it for the billionth time, I began to believe in them. As I was walking, I caught a glimpse of someone following me.
"You don't have to do that you know," I started. "I know you are there."
I waited but no one came out.
"Fine we can play this all night then," I shrugged. "It's up to you."
I slipped the letter into my pocket, re-shouldered the bag I was carrying, and continued walking. The air smelled like grass and something dying. I bit at my nail a bit and then looked down at my hand. It formed into a fist as I trudged fowards.
"I said come out," I ordered. "I'm not in a mood."
"No hide and seek for you?" a voice asked. I turned around. To see a woman about a hundred yards away.
"Vamp," I said. The one word said it all.
"Yep, and you're a human," the woman answered.
I turned my head a bit to the side. I didn't look it but my heart had started racing. I kept my face calm and a cool air around me, but there is always that initial fear one has when faced with what one would consider a predator.
My hand went indiscriminately into my pockets and I somewhat leaned back.
"Sorry to say I really don't have time to deal with your kind," I started. "And I'd rather not have to kill right before school."
I smirked a bit sliding the bag off my shoulder.
"You kill?" the vampire said looking at me.
I shrugged. "When I have to," I answered.
A pang went through my stomach when I said it. I didn't like the idea that I was still queasy after so long of it, but I kept my face straight and calm as if I were wearing a mask.
"If you come within a hundred feet of me I'll kill," I answered. "But dang the paperwork I would have to do afterwords." I ran my fingers through my hair a bit. "Paper work is worse than actually dying I would have to say....."
The vampire just stared at me, so I waited for something to happen.
