Alone.......

[BlueVamp]

BlueVamp sat alone in her quarters of the old NVES castle, with memories of the past week haunting her. Bittersweet memories of what she had hoped would become a true love.... now fell through the cracks like grains of the finest of sands.

For two nights she laid there alone..the navy blue, velvet curtains drawn tight to hide out the sun. Cursing herself for falling so quickly, she wrapped herself in her black satin comforter and wished away the world. But all the wishing could not take away how alone she felt, nor the hurt that was wrenching at her heart. Blood tears streamed from her deep blue eyes as she clung to her pillow....he wasn't coming back. She tried telling herself that she should be happy, for three nights before she'd taken her best friend as her sire. But right now the pain overshadowed her joy, the mere thought of his name sent waves of emotion through her body and she couldn't bare to look at the goodbye letter he'd sent her any longer.

Alone in dead silence she lay there, wrapped up tightly in her bed, praying no one would hear her crying. She couldn't hate him, only miss his warm embrace and how happy he'd made her feel in the short amount of time they'd been together. For so long she'd searched for someone like him, and in the blink of an eye it was gone..he was gone.

Her eyes ached and swollen from all the crying she'd done, her body felt hollow and empty. She screamed into her pillow before throwing it across the room. Her long black hair, matted to her face from crying, as she swept the tresses away from her face, each one leaving trails of blood tears across her face. She didn't care how she looked......she didn't care about much of anything right now...she just wanted to be alone and suffer alone. She knew in time this pain would pass....but for the moment..she felt as if her undead heart had been ripped from her chest and stomped like a common cockroach.

Screaming at the top of her undead lungs she cursed the night, beating her fist against the walls until she collapsed on the bed in a heap of exhaustion. Pulling her knees to her chest she tried to fight off the sleep that was beginning to overcome her..unable to fight any longer, with blood tears still streaming down her cheeks she succumbed to the slumber.

The distant, muffled sound of a chirping cell phone brought Blue out of her deep slumber. Laying in a tangled mess of sheets and comforters in her bed she groggily pulled her naked body up into a sitting position and looked around. Her eyes still somewhat swollen and her head felt like it was pounding as she felt around for the chirping cell, her vision not yet clear.

Finding her cell phone she pressed the mute button to shut off it's annoying chirps. Slowly regaining her vision she looked around the room, not knowing how long she'd been out or even whether it was night or day. Running a hand over her face, tiny flakes of dried blood tears rubbed off onto her hands. "I must look like a hideous mess right now.." she mumbled aloud. Glancing about the room more clearly now, she noticed the streaks of blood on the wall. In an instant it all came back to her and she recalled how the blood got there.

Untangling herself from the covers she scooted her way to the edge of the queen size bed, letting her feet dangle over the edge. With a heavy sigh she rose to her feet and walked over to the dresser. Placing her hands on the dresser for some sort of support she looked into the mirror. If it had been a normal everyday mirror, no reflection would have been there at all...but in this specially made mirror, Blue saw her reflection. With a groan of disgust she studied her features. "Damn, Blue you look like shit woman." she remarked to her reflection as she ran a hand through her long, black, tangled tresses. Her face stained with the now dried blood tears she stood upright and took a deep breath.

"Ok Blue..can't stay all locked away in here the rest of yur unlife.." she thought to herself as she headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

Turning on the shower she grabbed a towel and hung it by the shower door before stepping inside. As the water cascaded over her naked flesh, a feeling of peace came over her. She knew she had to move on and and not let this bring her down any further than it had already. She wasn't mad nor angry, just hurt. Feeling no hatred towards anyone she cleansed herself of all that troubled her. Stepping from the shower she wrapped the towel around herself and walked back into the bedroom. Dressing in her usual t-shirt and jeans she began cleaning the blood from the walls and any traces of that horrid night.

As she cleaned she came across his letter. Glancing over it she let out a soft sigh and folded it up, placing into a journal and tucking it into her nightstand drawer. After she'd finished tidying up she picked up her cell and began sending a text to her sire.

"Hey Pops, hope I didn't worry U, I'm doing better now & will B there for the party. Love Yur Brat, Blue"

With the message sent she glanced to the calendar and clock on her phone. Thankfully it was still dark out and she'd be able to go out and feed while the moon was still out. Placing her cell in her back pocket she snatched up her keys and headed for the door. Giving her room one more glance over she nodded in approval and headed out.

With her head held high she headed off into the night to find a meal, figuring that a decent meal would take away this wretched headache that was plaguing her.......

Walking silently down the sidewalk, Blue stopped momentarily and closed her eyes taking in the distant smell of humans. That was one thing she was grateful for was the ability to tell humans from vampires just by their scent. A brief snicker came over her as she envisioned a haphazard vampire with no sense of smell going around tapping folks on the shoulder asking if they were human or vampire. Shaking her head with a smile on her face she continued down the sidewalk. The streets were silent except for the occasional passing car, but Blue knew she wasn't alone.

The scent grew stronger as she rounded the corner. Down the block a small ways stood two teenage boys. Ducking into the shadows she watched them, checking her watch she noticed it was a wee bit too late for a couple of teenage boys to be out meandering about the city. A wry grin came across her lips as she watched the two, she figured they were definitely up to no good and their actions proved they were. As Blue watched, the taller looking teen grabbed up a brick from the sidewalk and tossed it through one of the shop windows. The sound of breaking glass echoed down the dimly lit street, not hearing any alarm sounding, Blue watched as the two teens began to loot the shop.

With a nod, Blue softly walked up to the shop where the teens were now inside. Stepping just out of view she listened as they ransacked the shop grabbing whatever they wanted. She waited patiently as they filled their pockets and arms with their loot. About a minute went by, when she heard one of the teens exclaim.."Come on man, let's get the hell outta here before we get caught." The sound of crunching glass told Blue they were headed her way. With a cocked grin Blue waited in the shadows for the prime opportunity to pounce.

Just her luck as the two teen boys exited the shop they ducked down into the dark alley where Blue was waiting in the shadows. Allowing them to walk right past her she stepped behind them and without a word grabbed each one by the shoulder. With a gasp they both simultaneously dropped whatever loot they'd had in their arms and raised their hands figuring they'd been busted.

Grabbing the one teen by his hair before he could even speak, Blue slammed his head against the brick wall allowing him to fall into a cold heap at her feet. The aroma of fresh warm blood filled the air, causing her senses to heighten. Her eyes changed to icy blue and her fangs now ever present as she could now hear the sudden rapid beating of the other teens heart as he watched his friend crumple to the ground, figuring he was dead.

"I'm sorry man...come on...please.. don't kill me. I'll put the stuff back...it was his idea...please don't kill me." the teen pleaded.

She could feel his fear as his 6ft frame trembled beneath her hand. Whipping him around to face her, his eyes grew wide as he focused on her.

Cocking her head to one side with a fanged grin and a raised brow..."What's the matter? Not what you expected?" she said with a wicked little laugh. Running her tongue over her fangs she lowered her hand to the front of the teens shirt, gripping it in her hand she eyed her prey. The teen could only stand there and stammer, his knees growing weaker by the minute. Feeling his fear increase she grabbed him by the hair and pulled his head to one side, exposing his young neck. With one rapid yank she pulled him against her and bit into his neck. The popping sound of his flesh beneath her fangs and his whimper increased her hunger. The faster his heart raced the faster his blood surged into her fangs as she drained every bit of his life. With the last few drops of blood she felt his heart slowing down until it beat no longer. His body now limp within her grasp she dropped his limp body to the ground.

Her lips now ruby red and stained with the teens blood she turned her attention to the crumpled heap of his friend. He appeared to be coming around and was trying to pull himself up. A small trickle of blood ran down his face from the wound he'd received when she slammed him against the wall. With her hunger still not satisfied, Blue admired the teen for a moment as he tried to get up. As his vision tried to focus on the body of his friend a look of horror overcame his face. Looking up to Blue he saw her blood stained lips and the trickle of blood running down her chin and backed himself against the wall. "No....No...what are you?" he pleaded.

With a sinister grin, Blue ran her finger up her chin collecting the blood and teasingly sucked it from her finger. "What am I you ask? Hmmm good question." she said with a shrug. "I guess you could call me your worst nightmare.......but then again.....you've been a naughty boy. Your friend here was too....and he's paid his price...now it's your turn." she said with a wicked laugh. The sound of his heart beginning to race sent shivers down her spine. Reaching down to the teen she pulled him up on his feet and stood him in front of her. His fear filled whimpers increased her hunger.

"That's right...get that young heart of yours racing....makes my meal that much more enjoyable." she said with a sinister tone. She loved the taste of young blood mixed with pure unadulterated adrenaline, it was like a fix from some kind of exotic drug.

"Pppplease....lady...I mean Mmmaam....let me gggo...I'll return the stuff...I, I, I won't tell anyone what you are...I'm just a kid." he pleaded. She always loved it when the young idiots pleaded for their lives. Rolling her eyes she grabbed him by the nape of the neck.

"You really think all that pleading is going to help you? I don't give a rats ass what you stole....or what you did...you made the fatal mistake of being out this late at night....and I'm hungry....and you've got what I want...and you're gonna give it to me whether you like it or not....Ya got that?" she exclaimed. The teen now being only able to nod his head within her grasp and whimper a soft "Mmhmm" with his eyes closed tightly.

"Aww now.. come on...you don't have to close your eyes..it's not like I'm going to kiss you...you're ruining my fun. Now open those eyes...I wanna see your life fade away." She said feeling his heart race that much more, she yanked his head to the side and lurched forward, driving her fangs deep into the boys neck. With a growl she drank with more fervor than before, enjoying the intoxicating feeling that was coming over her. As the teen began to slump within her grasp she drained the rest of his blood and pulled away. Looking into his eyes she watched the teens life fade into nothing. As he breathed his last breaths she sank her fangs into him once more draining every last insatiable drop of his blood before dropping his body to the ground alongside his friend.

Stepping over the two, she traced her lips with her tongue, savoring the taste of her meal. Pulling an embroidered hankie from her pocket she wiped any excess blood from her mouth and chin. Folding the hankie she placed it back into her pocket and slipped back into the shadows to continue her walk. With her hunger now satisfied, she felt much better than before.

With her hunger now quenched, she walked back towards her home. After a few minutes she arrived outside the old NVES castle noticing the early morning light beginning to creep across the sky. Heading inside she figured she'd better go get some rest before heading to her Pop's party. Changing into her nightgown she climbed into bed. Letting out a soft sigh she drifted into a deep slumber.


The hours passed and the day gradually turned into night. Lost in her sweet slumber a faint chirping sound was resounding in her head. In her dream she looked around trying to find to culprit of the annoying chirp to no avail. As the obnoxious chirping continued she grew restless in her sleep and began to wake.
