The Hunt

 Chapter 14

A Normal Life? Not a Chance.

“Rise and shine boys!”

 I opened my eyes and seen John leaning against the hotel door. I blinked a few times and at up. Beside me I heard Michael groan and the bed creaked as he pushed himself up off his stomach and into a sitting position. He yawned and rubbed his eyes with his right hand. “Man what are you doing here so early? It’s like 5:45.” “ I took a plane cause someone took my car.” He stated pointedly at Michael. “So how long have you been here?” I asked. He turned his attention to me and said, “ A few hours.” “Do we have a job to do?” Michael asked and John shook his head. “ Okay then I’m going back to sleep,” he stretched and then plopped back down into the bed. I sat there barley keeping my eyes open when John said,” you might as well go back to sleep to Joey. I’ll see if I can find us a job I guess.” Laying back down on the soft while pillow was the last thing I remembered.

 I opened my eyes a few hours later and looked at the clock, 9:57. I sat up and looked around; John was  sittng at the table and Michael was still asleep. “Morning,” John said, “ I found a job for us so get up and get ready.”  Throwing the covers off and standing up I walked into the bathroom and got in the shower. After I showered I got out and dried off quickly and walked into the main room and seen Michael was now up watching TV and John was writing on a notepad with a serious look on his face. I walked over and sat down. John motioned for Michael to come and sit down. “So what’s up?” Michael asked as he pulled out a chair and sat down. “ I found a group of demon’s,” John said. “And? Your point?” Michael asked. “They are in a local high school, so we’re going to go in undercover to find them.” Michael leaned forward slightly and rested his head on his chin, “ As what?”  “Well…” John started, “ By us I mean you and Joey and by undercover I mean…” he hesitated as if he was unsure we’d like this idea, “ you going back as students.”  Michael’s jaw dropped and she looked at John, “ We’re what?”  “You’re going back to school. Don’t worry its only temporary just until you find the demons and get rid of them.” Michael and I exchanged looks and I shrugged,  “ how bad could it be?”

Worse question ever. How bad could it be very bad. I guess I better track though to later on that day when we went shopping to get some stuff since our other school like supplies were back in Morgantown. We both got a Black backpack, a few notebooks, some pencils, and a few pairs of normal clothes since John thought walking around in all black everyday might be a tad suspicious, plus all we had were the few clothes we had took with us to hunt the vampire. Then the next day we got up and got dressed, then went down to the school.  We walked up the building of Sandy River High School and entered the school. The schools hallway was decorated in the  school colors with were blue and yellow. We walked down to the principal’s office and walked in to the small room that had a few chairs and a counter in front of the desk. “ Can I help you? The secretary asked. “ Um ya,” John said, “ these are my two brothers and I need to enroll them in school. We recently moved.” She walked over and smiled, “ Where are your parents?”  John frowned and sadly stated “ Dead.” The secretary frowned and said, “ Oh I’m sorry. Are you there guardian.” “ Yes mam.” She handed us two enrollment forms and we sat there and filled them out then took them back to her. “ Okay so give me a minute and I’ll have your schedules. John walked out to the hallway and we followed.” Okay guys,” he whispered, “ you two have to act like brothers got it? Here I got you guys cell phones in case you need me and don’t get in trouble, k?”  Michael and I nodded and walked back in to the office. “ Here you boys go.” I looked at them and seen that I had Algebra2, Chemistry, and Gym  with Michael and I had Photoshop while Michael had Drivers Ed. “ Okay boys you had second lunch and if you need anything you know where to find me.” I smiled and Michael said, “ alright lets go Joey.” “ You call your brother Joey?” The secretary asked. “ Ya it kind of an inside joke. Isn’t that right, Sam?”  “ Ya.” I told her.  We walked out and I said, “ really Michael really?” He smirk, “ I’m sorry my names Nick not Michael.” I huffed and  started waking to class which me and Michael shared.

 We walked in and showed her out schedules. “ Alright let me get you two books and take a seat. Everybody this is Sam and Nick Dawson” She handed us two pretty beat up Chemistry books and started teaching again. “ Okay so let’s talk about Ions…” I sat in class zoning out and thinking about the last ime I was at school. It’d been only a month or two and yet it felt so foreign to be sitting here in the school. I jumped when the teacher called on me and the sudden movement sent a pain through my shoulder and chest. “ Um. What was the question?” I asked. “ I said what causes an Ion to form?”  I looked at the teacher and said, “ions form because neutral atoms become charged by the losing or gaining an electron.” She looked a little taken aback at the fact I knew the answer. I sat there staring at her and she turned around and started writing on the white board.

The bell finally rung and we walked out. I looked for Michael but didn’t see him, so I continued on to the gym. I walked in and put my backpack on the bleachers next to everyone else’s and seen Michael standing among a group and girl. Figures, I thought.  I found the teacher, Mr. Parker and   gave him my schedule, and he told me to go stand in line. I stood there as he took roll and then we went in to the locker room.  The locker room had baskets full of clothes in a side room and a bathroom and in the main room there were slabs of concrete on tile which were elevated off the ground that the students sat on. I sat down and Michael plopped down beside me, “ hey.” “ Finally pry yourself away from your fan club?” I asked sarcastically. He smirked and said, “ your just jealous. So how’s your shoulder?” “ I’m fine. It’s just sore.”  We walked back out after the others finished dressing and because it was our first day and we didn’t have clothes Michael and I sat out. I followed Michael to the top of the bleachers and sat down. Another boy came and sat down beside us and said “ Hey, I’m Josh.” “ Sam.” I said. Michael looked at him and said , “ Nick.” It felt weird lying about our names since my whole life I’d gone by Joey, but never the less it was easy to remember to lie about it. Josh and Michael spent the rest of the class talking about the which girls were hotter and how weird the quiet girls were.

I looked around and seen that some rather larger girls walking along the floor on the other side of the gym. I noticed the girls behind them talking at looking at them and occasionally they would snicker. One of the girls seemed to notice but the other seemed completely oblivious to them. I stood up and Michael said, “ where you going Sam?” I ignored him and walked over to the two girls. “Hey.” I said the taller one smiled and said, “ hi.” The other girl looked at me suspiciously and kept walking. I walked beside them and talked to the taller girl -  Natalie- about all kinda of things from music to television. I noticed the other girl had fallen slightly behind us so I fell back as well and said, “ What’s up?” She looked at me with hints of distrust in her eyes and said, “ What do you want?” Normally I would think she was crazy and leave her alone but I felt this was a challenge so I said,   “ seriously chill I just wanna talk.” “ Okay fine talk.” She snapped. “ I smiled slightly enjoying this argument, “ So what’s up?” “Walking.” She told me. “You don’t say. So what’s your name?” “ Nichole.” “ Cool I guess. I’m Jo– Sam.” “Joe Sam?” She asked. “Sam. Just Sam.”  “ Whatever you say Joe Sam.” I scowled and said, “  So why are you walking?” “ I  hate gym.”

“ Oh me too.” I said trying to sound friendly. I had a feeling this girl didn’t trust me because she thought I was trying to making fun of her.  I was about to say something when I heard the girls behind me snicker again. I said to Nichole, “I’ll be back.” Then I fell back farther to walk beside the group of other girls and said, “ Do you guys have a problem?”  One of the girls who had curly brown hair a little surprised but said, “ Why are you walking with them?” I’m usually not that sensitive about people’s opinions of others but the way this girl put that infuriated me. “ What do you mean?”  “ Well there not exactly your type. I  can read people, and someone as handsome as you shouldn’t be hanging out with someone as socially out casted as them.” I smirked at her and said, “ is that so sweetheart? Well let me tell you something your reading people skills suck. I’ll walk with whomever I please, because I’m not a shallow witch like you I see past peoples outside and choose looks at the way they act not the way they look.” Then I picked up the pace and caught up with the two girls, but I wasn’t really paying attention to them because before my parents died those girls are exactly the type of people I would’ve normally hung out with. I couldn’t help but realizing how shallow I was and all the hurtful things I’d said to people. How I has treated outcasts before I had become an outcast myself

The bell finally rung and Michael walked up to me. “ Um… Who?... What?... Why?”  I ignored him and walk to the cafeteria. I seen the girls from earlier sitting at a table with this other girl who had long brown curl hair that was pulled up and I walked oer to them. The taller girl from the gym was telling the new girl about the ‘new guy’ and the other girl was attentively listening to every word she said. Nichole sat there and looked incredibly irritated by the other two girls babbling. I heard her tell Natalie, “ Seriously I don’t see why you’re going on about him?”  I walked up and sat my stuff down and said , “Well obviously because I’m so incredibly awesome.” Natalie seemed happy to see me but Nichole not so much. She groaned and looked back down at her phone.  Natalie suddenly turned excitedly to Nichole and said, “ I seen Supernatural last night!” “ Really? It was awesome right?” “ Ya! Especially when Dean tried to kill Sam. I freaked.” I jumped in, “ Impossible. Dean would never kill Sam, that’s his baby brother.” “ You watch Supernatural?” Nichole asked. “ Yes. Sometimes.” I used to be a fan of the show until recently when I left to find the Shtriga. “ What’s? Sam and Deans parents name?” “ John and Mary Winchester.”  “ What college did Sam attend?” “ Stanford.” “ What was the monster in the first episode?” “ A woman in white. And the girls name was Constance.”  “ What did Dean say John wanted him to do?” “ he wanted them the pick up where he left off, saving people, hunting things the family business.”   She smiled and nodded. The other two girls were looking at us like we were crazy and then Natalie said, “ Geez your both obsessed with that show.”

The next week or so went by like that. I went to school with Michael and once we got there we went out separate ways; him with his friends and I with mine. I spent Gym and Lunch with Natalie, Nichole and Cierra( The other girl at the lunch table) and things were over all pretty uneventful. Then one day after the final bell rang  was walking with Natalie and Nichole out of the school and when I said goodbye and they walked towards the busses I seen a face I thought I’d never see again. Leaning against a tree was Eric. Last time I saw him he was possessed by a demon outside of John’s house. I stopped and stared at him and realized he was staring at me too. He started walking over to me and I turned around and walked away fast looking for Michael. I weaved my way through crowds of people and then came upon Michael Making out with some random girl. I ran up to him pulled him  back, “ Nick we–” “ What’s your problem Sam!” Michael angrily yelled. I was about to explain but I couldn’t with the crowd of people  who had gathered around up.  “ Nick we need to leave. Now.” I stated. “ I’m a little busy.” He informed me. “Nick really we need to go and – ” “  You just jealous cause I gotta girl and you don’t”  “ What?” I asked. Where did that come from? I thought. “ You think just cause you stole that one girl from me means you can steal any girl from me. “ Are you still on that?” I yelled, “ Get over it! This is kinda important you self-centered idiot!”  Michaels narrowed his eyes and said, “ You’ve been a pain in my ass ever since you showed up!”  That’s when it started. Michael leapt forward and punched me. I reacted instinctively and grabbed my check where his fist had met my face, but weeks of training with him kicked in and I dodged aside. Michael stood infront of me and kind of had a half smile in his face. I took a step forward and lunged at him. His eyes widened in surprise and we landed with a thud. I sat on his chest and punched him a couple of times before he grabbed my wrists and flipped us over so our position was reversed. He punched my side a few times and then his eyes lit up and he raised his fists above his head. That’s when I realized what he was doing He brought down his hands on my chest where I still had scratches from the vampire. I screamed and shoved Michael with all my strength off of me and rolled away from him onto my stomach. My chest burned in a fiery pain where the remains of the scratches were. I gasped and looked up to see Michael standing over me. He smiled wickedly and lifted his foot about to finish the fight. Fear went through me and the need to get away was strong, but I just laid there. “ Alright that’s enough!” Michaels face changed and the anger went out of them. The principal ran up to the crowd and grabbed Michaels  arm. Behind the principal was a very angry John whose arms were crossed across his chest and his eyes were full of fury. The principal pulled me on to my feet and drug us over to John and said, “ Get them off of my school yard.!” She shoved us toward John and walked away. John turned and got in the car slamming the door. I got in the back and Michael the front. John drove the entire way back to the hotel in silence and parked the car. He got out of the car and walked to the room with us following suit. When we walked in and shut the door John turned to us and said, “ What the Hell is wrong with you?” Neither of said anything. “ Joey I think your scratches are bleeding go get cleaned up.” I looked down and see a dark stain on my shirt and felt the stinging of the scratches. I grabbed some clothes and went to get cleaned up.

~Michaels P.O.V.~

“Sit!” John commanded and I sat on the bed. “ Michael, what were you thinking! You could’ve killed him!” I looked away guiltily and said, “ I know.”  “ If you know then why did you do it?!”  “ I don’t know what came over me. I was just so mad.” John sat down across from me and said, “ Michael I know you and Joey don’t always get along, and a school yard fight is one thing I can handle, but killing him is another and not something I can just brush off.”  “ I know.” I said softly, I was ashamed of what I had almost did. Sure i didn’t get along with Joey but I never wanted to kill him, did I?  “ Would you have done it? Would you have killed him?” I sat there and thought about it for a moment, could I have killed Joey today? Surely  not. I’m no murderer I was just mad. “ No I don’t think so” I admitted. John sighed and said, “ maybe its best you two don’t go to school anymore.”  I looked at him and asked, “ what about the demons.” “ We’ll figure out another way to get them.” Joey walked out of the bathroom without saying a work and laid down on the bed across from me where John was sitting. We had been taking turn alternating between the beds and the pull out spare mattress the staff had brought up for us. “  How bad are your scratches Joey?” John asked while still looking at me. “ I’ll live,” He said quietly. John stood up and went in to the bathroom. Joey and I were left in an awkward silence  until I heard Joey softly snore. I looked at the clock (4:36pm) I looked over at Joey and thought about this after noon. I stood up suddenly and walked out of the room and in into the woods beside the hotel. I walk for a few minutes and then sat down behind a tree. I felt tears slide down my checks and thought about the look on Joey’s face when I was about to bring my foot down on his head. I remembered the fear in his eyes and the fight went out of his face. He just laid there waiting for me to do it. I closed my eyes and tried to tell myself that I wouldn’t have done it, but a small voice said you would’ve done it. I pushed it away and wiped my face off, and stood up. I wanted to go back but just being around them made me feel guilty so I wandered around the woods for a while.

~Joey’s P.O.V.~

I woke up to the sound of the door closing. I sat up and looked around and seen that Michael had left. I put my shoes on and walked out of the door and seen Michael heading into the woods. I followed him for a few minutes before he sat down and I heard him crying. I stayed hidden for a while he walked around, then I decided to approach him. “ Michael?” He turned around and  said, “ what?” “ Are you okay?”  He turned back around, “I’m fine.”   He sat down and I sat down beside him and said, “ Would you have….” I trailed of not wanting to really say it. He looked at me and I could see his eyes were red and puffy, “ I… I don’t know.”  “Oh, Hmm.” I said. “ I’m sorry Joey. I don’t know what came over me. I couldn’t control myself.” I awkwardly patted his shoulder and stood up. Then I remembered, “ Michael! I seen a demon today at the school!” he looked at me, “ What? Where?” “ When we were leaving the school. That’s why I came to find you. It was one of the ones that was with Amy. It was Eric.”   “ Did he see you?” He asked. “ Ya I was kinda running away from him and he followed me.”  “ Maybe he was the reason I couldn’t control myself.” “Can demons control someone without being in them?” “ I don’t know, but they can radiant anger and affect the people around them,” he said, his face lit up and he said, “ that means I wouldn’t have done it otherwise!”  I was sorta happy to hear Michael wouldn’t have killed me, sorta. I was also a little surprised.  “ I looked around and realized it was dark and I said, “ maybe we should head back before John gets worried.” Michael stood up and started walking back to the hotel with me following. We got back and John was sitting there waiting for us. “John I wouldn’t have done it,” Michael exclaimed happily. John gave us a puzzled look and I explained to him about the demon. “ It makes sense that he was able to control your emotions I guess.” John commented. “Well I guess there’s nothing we can do about it tonight so we better get some rest.” John laid down on his spare bed and I laid down in the bed I was sleeping on for tonight, Michael went to take a shower. The last thing I heard was the shower turn on and then I fell asleep.

 

~Unknown’s P.O.V.~

I watched the fight from a far. I knew Michael would’ve killed Joey had someone not intervened. I also knew He would not be happy about this. I waited quietly at the table for him to arrive. The door opened to the giant room and a man walked in. He was tall muscular and he had thick chocolate brown hair. “ Well,” he questioned, “ What happened?” “ The demon affected him, he almost killed Joey.” The man walked closer to the table and leaned against it. He sighed and said, “ it was bound to happen eventually. It’s in their blood.” I sighed, “ I suppose your right. Maybe its time?” “ Soon. My friend, soon.” With that the man turned and left. I too left the room and went back to watch over them.  I promised to protect them, but how do I protect them from each other?

The Hunt

Chapter Thirteen

Lucky Thirteen

            I woke up, and Claire was gone…again. My head still felt foggy. Mid-day sunlight shone through the window. I remembered what Claire told my last night with what happened between her and John, but I was having trouble believing it. I got up and changed clothes in to a pair of new jeans and a forest green short sleeve t-shirt. The house was quiet as I walked down the hall to the kitchen and seen Michael leaning on the counter drinking coffee. “He lives!” Michael said as I walked over to the table in front of him. I looked at the clock and it read 11:34am. Wow, I thought, I hardly ever sleep past ten. “Where is everyone,” I asked. “Well they’re outside getting in some practice before our hunt.” I nodded then said, “ Wait what… did you say our hunt?”  He looked at me and said very slowly, like teaching a child, “Yes Joey. Your first hunt. You’re a hunter so therefore you will hunt.”

“I’m not stupid Michael. What are we hunting?” I asked.

“A vampire.” Michal replied curtly and walked out the door. I followed him out and seen Claire and John practicing the defenses in the grass. They saw us coming and broke apart. “Joey,” Claire squealed and hugged me. I was shocked so I just stood there. She pecked me on the check then glared at Michael as she walked past him to get to the car. “Um…” I went to explain to Michael. “ Just get in the car he said, while getting in the passenger side. I just sighed and got in behind John with a feeling this was going to be a very long car ride.

~~~*~~~

I was right it was the longest car ride of my life. I spent most of the time looking out the window. The tension in the car was so heavy and uncomfortable you could’ve cut it with a knife.  Outside the window the sunny day had turned into a cold and foggy day. The rain fell heavily on the car and the sound of it was putting me to sleep. I rested my head on the window and closed my eyes.

I was dreaming we were back at the house, only it was just Michael and I. We were in the kitchen, I was standing by the door and Michael was at the sink. Suddenly Michael whirled around and looked at me with extreme angry in his eyes. “You stupid, worthless, sorry, ungrateful, son of a gun!”  He snarled at me, “ What right do you have to steal my girlfriend after all I’ve done for you!”

“ All  you’ve done for me?!” I asked. Michael walked towards me and I could see fleck of spit fly form his mouth as he said, “ I saved your freaking life!”  That again, huh? I thought. “ How long are you going to hold that over my head?”  I countered, furious at how much he used that line against me.  I knew he had a point without Michael I’d probably be dead now, but still that doesn’t mean I own him my happiness. “ As long as I have to to teach you your place!” he responded. “You know what Michael I think its you who needs to learns  your place,” I said pointing my finger at him. “ Just stay away from Claire, or else.”

“Or else what?” I asked. He narrowed his eyes at me and said, “ You’ve been warned.” I was a bout to respond when John woke me up, “ We’re here.” I blinked and looked to see where “here” is. It was dark and we were at a rundown motel who’s sign was barley lit so I couldn’t make out the name. John steped back to let me out of the car and said, “Claire you go get the room keys, I’ll get dinner, Michael Joey get the bags out of the car.” I sighed and walked around to the trunk and waited for Michael to open it. He inserted the key and the trunk popped open. I grabbed a few bags and set them down and turned to grab another bag. As I reached down to grab one but Michael  had to gotten rest out and was looking at me. “ What?” I asked. He shook his head, “ Nothing,” and grabbed the bags and followed Claire to the room.

We stopped outside of room 213 and 214, John handed Michael a key and said, “ Okay, so since there are four of us (Sam stayed behind) we have to get two rooms. Me in Claire in one room and you  and Joey in the other.” Claire looked at him, “ why can’t I stay with Joey?” John looked at her and said, “ Because I don’t trust you two…. Alone.”

Michael unlocked the door to 213 and put our bags in the room, and I took Claire and John’s bags to their room. When I came back in Michael was sitting on the bed closest to the bathroom in nothing but his jeans. “ Dude really?” “Don’t like the view don’t look at it.” I rolled my eyes and sat down by the window. I surveyed the layout of the room; there were two bed and in between them was a nightstand, in front of the two bed was a TV stand and dresser, past that was the bathroom. Beside the door were a window and a table with two chairs and a lamp against the wall. I sighed and looked in to the bag that john had given us containing our food. It was a hamburger and fries from some local diner and a few bottles of water. We ate in silence; me sitting at the table and Michael lounging on the bed flipping through thirty channels of crap TV. He settled on the local news.

“ In other news another body has been found in a local wooded area last night.” The blonde news woman reported. “ The body of nineteen year old Candice Grey was found in a shallow grave by two teens walking in the woods. The pair discovered the body after one tripped over the protruding leg that was sticking out. The two immediately ran home and called authorities. Police have yet to release a statement but those on the seen reported bite marks of the girls neck eerily familiar the ‘Vampire’ killing that started last week in Burketsville.”  Michael sat up and said, “ I don’t believe it that vampires moving faster than we thought it would.” I scooted forward, “ what do you mean?”

  “Well we figured we had a day or two to plan a strategy before the thing got here to Smithsfield. I guess we were wrong.”

“So now what?” I asked. Michael stood up, put a shirt on, and said, “come on lets go talk to John.”  We walked out of the room and knocked on John’s door. John answered and rubbed his eyes, “What?” 

“ We were watching the news. The vampire here in town, It’s already killed one girl.” “ Damn. Okay lets get ready it’s…” He looked at his watch, “ 11:25 so we’ll get nap and start looking for this thing at sunrise so about six-ish. Okay?” Michael and I nodded and walked back over to our room. “ Dude why are you shaking,” Michael asked me. “Wha-.” I realized I was shaking. “ Your nervous,” Michael said with a chuckle. “So?” He smirked and laid down on the bed. I sighed and laid on the other bed. I probably should change my clothes, I thought, but decided it wasn’t important to do at the moment. I heard Michael start snoring and I followed suit…

I screamed when a large weight crashed down on me, and I started trying to punch my attacker but my hands were pinned beside me. I opened my eyes to see Michael staring down at me, “ Are you going to get up and get ready or should I tell John you chickened out?” I looked over at the clock and seen it was five o’clock.  I groaned and said, “ I’m up I’m up.” Michael let me go and I sat up rubbing my face and yawned. Getting a new change of clothes I walked in to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I looked exhausted and my hair was sticking up in many directions. I peeled off my dirty clothed and turned on the hot water. I stepped into the shower and let the water run over head and down my back. I grabbed the soap and lathered up my body. I rinsed off and washed my hair. Stepping out of the shower I grabbed a fresh white towel and dried myself off. Getting dressed I put on a pair of black jeans and a black shirt since it would blend in better with the woods and the night. I walked out and sat on the bed to put my shoes on when Michael sat down and started to tell me some of the factual lore about vampires.

Once I knew everything he thought I should know got up to gather the weapons. “ Here,” Michael said as he threw me a small 9mm “the bullets are coated in dead man’s blood and vervane. It won’t kill a vampire but it will slow ‘em down long enough for you to stake it.”

We walked over to John and Claire’s room and knocked on the door. Claire opened it this time and let us in. John was sitting on one of the beds. Michael and I sat on the chairs at the table and since the coffe pot was there we each got a cup of coffee. “ So here’s the plan, we investigate the forest around the crime scene in a five mile radius. I doubt the thing is staying to far from the site since it seems all the attacks in the other area were with in miles of each other. So we’ll split up in to two pairs and call the other if we find something. Don’t I repeat DO NOT try to take this vampire on alone. Everybody understand?”  We finished out coffee then walked out to the car. Nobody said anything as we got in the car and drove down the road about ten miles and pulled over into the woods behind a line of oak trees. Getting out of the car John walked around to the back and opened the trunk. “Here you and Michael be careful call if you find anything.” John said handing us each a sharp wooden stake.  Grabbing two more and taking one for himself and handing the other to Claire he shut the trunk starts walking off into the woods in the direction toward the front of the car. Michael and I started walking in the opposite direction. It was hard to see since it wasn’t quite morning yet so periodically one of us would trip over a twig and weeds or walk into a branch. “ Damn,” Michael said several times while walking which gave me a hint when an obstacle was ahead of us. We walked for about an hour or so and finally the sun was up far enough to where we could see our surroundings. We walked for another hour before Michael said, “let’s stop here for a minute and rest.” I sunk down on the a fallen log beside Michael, “ it’s gonna be a cold day today don–…. Did you hear that?” I whispered. Michael held up his hand to shush me. We both stood up and we heard a twig snap behind us and turned around to see a man standing off in the distance. He was wearing blue jeans and white shirt stained with dry blood, he had dark brown hair and even from a distance you could see his piercing ice blue eyes and his sharper then natural teeth. He smirked at us and let off a screech so loud I thought my ear were going to explode. He suddenly rushed forward almost as a blur and punched Michael, knocking him out. Before I could reach my gun the vampire tackled me and straddled my chest pinning my hands above my head. This is it. I’m gonna die today. I hope Kay’s ok… I thought closing my eyes not want to see what happens. “ No hunter  look at me. I want to see the fear in your eyes before you die. Look at me!” He commanded. I peeked my eyes open to see him looking down at me. His wicked smile showed his lateral incisors and canines were razor sharp  and I could smell the blood from his victims caked on his shirt. His nails were sharp like claws and dug into my wrist. He looked to be about twenty three and had fair skin that was flawless. He started to bend forward and a loud bang interrupted him. He turned around and hisses at a barley standing Michael who was prepared to fire again. Suddenly the vampire stood up and ran off in to the woods barley making a sound at all. “Joey! Are you ok?” Michael holstered his gun quickly and ran over to help me up. “ I’m okay. I’m just shooken up.”  Michael pulled me up and then wiped the blood the ran down his cheek ,from the vampire, on the back of his hand. We heard someone approaching and both of us drew our guns. “ What happened we hears gun fire?” John yelled and we put our guns away and flopped down on the log again. John and Claire appeared behind us a moment later . “ We got attacked by the vampire.” Michael told them. Claire dropped down beside me and wrapped her arms around me. I was still in shock so I let her lay my head on her shoulder and closed my eyes. “ What’d it do?” John asked.  “ It knocked me out briefly and when I woke up it was second away from making a meal out of Joey. Had him pinned to the ground and was about to bite him, but I was able to shot it. Then it ran off into the woods.”  John rubbed his chin and said, “ Okay well lets head back to the hotel and get you two into some dry clothes and then we’ll come back out.” I noticed after he said that that my back was damp from remnants of the morning dew on the cold ground. I looked at Michael and seen he too had his shirt sticking to his back. We stood up and walked back to the car it took us some time but finally we reached it and we headed back to the hotel.

 

 

Dmitri’s P.O.V

 I almost had my second meal of the day the a fiery pain exploded through my shoulder. I turned to see the other hunter aiming what appeared to be a small normal hand gun. Dead man’s blood,  I realized. That’s when I knew I had to get out of there. I ran off faster than their human minds could ever comprehend. The pain I felt was excruciating, but being a vampire my body started to heal and stopping to drink the blood of that dear had sped up the process so now an hour later I was fully healed.

I pulled out my phone and called Martin.

“Hello?” he said in a sleepy voice.

“ I thought you said there were no hunters in Burketsville.” I snapped

“ There weren’t when I was there.” He responded.

“ Well apparently there are now and I have a bullet in my shoulder to prove it!”

“ Damn it Dmitri you’re in the town for a day have already left a trail for a pair of hunters to follow.”

“ I’ve been trying to cover my tracks, but its kind of a little hard to bury a body in nearly frozen ground!”

“ Okay Okay, calm down. … You know I honestly don’t know what to tell you. Just be careful and at night fall get the hell out of there.”   He hung up and I slammed my phone shut.

I tried to sleep but I could stop thinking of getting revenge. Then it hit me. I got up and ran out to the county line where the fair grounds were. At the fairgrounds there was a complex maze of bushes or a labyrinth. I lifter my hand to my nose to catch a faint whiff of the blonde boys blood from where I broke skin from punching him.  I easily caught their trail and followed it back to a hotel. I walked up to where the sent came from, room 213 and looked in the window throught the sight area in the curtains that weren’t fully drawn. I sniffed the air and sure enough caught the sent of the other pair of hunters I had seen leave with them. Sneaking around to the back I silently opened the bathroom window and slipped in I cracked the door slightly and listened to the man talk to the girl. “Claire I don’t know what’s going on between you and Joey and Michal. Quite frankly I normally wouldn’t care but since I rely on all of you to keep me alive and vice versa I can’t have them at each other’s throats. Or worse letting the other die.” She was about to reply when I appeared be hind the man. I grabbed a vase that was in the dresser and said, “ Nighty night.” I bashed it over his head an he sunk to the floor. The girls eyes got big and she quickly reached for her gun and a stake but I was quicker. I ran over to her and grabbed her wrist she looked up at me and I back handed her across the face hard enough to knock her out. She slumped over and I slung her over my shoulder then walked out the door.

 

 

Joey’s P.O.V

Once we got back I changed and so did Michael. We turned on the TV and waited for John to call and tell us it was time to go again. Two hours passed and we were still waiting for John’s call. “ Come on Joey lets go over there.” Michael said after his repeated attempts to call John had failed. I stood up and we walk over and knocked on the door…. Nothing… we knocked again, harder this time…. Nothing. “Keep watch.”  He said and kneeled down. He pulled a thin wire out of his pocket and started to pick the lock. “Got it.”  He announced and turned the doorknob. We walked in to the room and seen an unconscious John laying on the floor with bits and shards of a broken vase around him. Some pieces of glas had become embedded on to his skin and he had dried blood caked into his hair on the back of his head. Claire was nowhere to be seen.  I hear Michael swear and he said, “ Hear help me get him in the car we’ve got to take him to the hospital.” “ What about Claire?” I asked. “Dammit I forgot about her. Um, I guess we’ll have to… ah I got it.”  He pulled out his phone and  dialed 911. “ Um yes I just discovered a man lying unconscious in a hotel room. Room 214. My name?  Its Calvin Perkins.” He shut his phone and said, Okay let’s get out of here but first grab the guns and stakes. Don’t want the police getting ahold of that.” After we gathered everything we got in the car. A moment after I shut my door a cruiser and an ambulance pulled up and rushed up the stairs to the second floor. “ And that’s our que.”  Michael said.

We pulled out onto the road and we drove off toward the area we seen the vampire. I looked at the clock and it said 3:15 . By the time we got to the site where we  parked to car last time it read 3:55. Getting out of the car I grabbed the stakes I had thrown in the floor and reached back in to the console for my gun. I threw Michael a stake and walked around to the side of the car. “Well what now?” I asked him. “ I don’t know I guess we start walking until we find a trace of it.” We started walking in the direction he took off in. We didn’t say a word while we walked, we simply listened for sounds of the vampire. However no matter how hard we listened we heard now. “ Wait Michael look an old barn.” I pointed out to Michael.

 In the distance there was an old barn than had lost almost all of it paint, had broken windows, and part of the roof was missing. We approached it with quiet caution and slowly opened the door and walked in. As soon as we walked in we could smell the strong stench of decay and see the carcass of a dead dear in the corner of the barn. We also seen a hammock, dirty clothes, and a note book sitting on a shelf. Slowly we approached the hammock, but it was soon cleat that no one was there. Michael grabbed the note book and flipped through the pages, “ Look it’s a journal. He talks about being turned and recently and about all the people he’s killed. Listen March 15, 2012 ‘ I feel the power of being a vampire flowing through my  veins. I think of the fear scent coming off of my victims when they feel my hot breath against their skin, just before I bite down and end  their lives. Like that sweet red head I found hiking in the woods yesterday.’” I scratched my head, “ wow sounds like this guy was slightly off his rocker.” Michael shook his head, “ Nah. All newly turned vampire are like that. Hey look at this last entry.” He handed my the book and my blood ran cold.

  I looked up at Michael and then down at my watch. “Its 9:39 that’s only two and a half hours.” I said. “I know we better hurry,” Michael said grimly. “ Where do you think he is?” Michael opened his mouth to reply but nothing came out. He shrugged and hung his head, “ I don’t know.”  I thought about all the possible place a vampire could hide as we walk out of the barn and into the woods. It was about 9:58 when I stopped in my tracks and said, “ The maze. Michael! I got it. When we drove through here this morning I seen a sign that said Burketville Labyrinth.” Michael and I ran back to the car as fast as we could. When we got to the car the time was 10:27.  Michael turned on the car and sped off towards the county line. It took us about fifteen minutes to get there. We walked up to the entrance and right at the beginning was a map of the labyrinth.

                   “She could be in any of these clearings!” Michael said in frustration. “ I think she’s in that one,” I said pointing in the one in the upper left hand corner. “ Why? How do you know?” Michael asked. I looked at him and explained, “ think about it. It’s the one that’s farthest away from the entrance.” We stood there for a minute while Michael debated whether or not my reason made enough sense to risk it being wrong.  I looked at my watch and it read 10:59. “ Michael we really don’t have time for you to think to much about this.” I informed him. He huffed and said, “ I know. Okay upper left corner it is.”

We started in to the maze and slowly made out way around the first circle. I remembered a fact I read on the internet and told Michael  to follow the right wall. We pain staking made it through the pitch black maze by gripping the right wall. I looked down at my watch and it said 11:34. “ only twenty six- minutes.” I whispered. He didn’t say anything but I heard him pick up his pace and I did the same. I was so focused on listening for the vampire that I didn’t realize Michael and I had gotten separated. I looked up to say something and realized I could no longer hear Michaels foot steps ahead of me. “  Michael!” I yelled frantically trying to turn around and make my way back to the last turn we made. The onlygood thing was we had been walking in the dark so long I sold see the faint out line of everything. I yelled again, “ Michael!” Nothing, no response. I was panicking now. Time was running out and I had lost Michael. “ Joey!” I heard a voice yell in the distance behind me. Turning around I ran towards it “ Michael?!” “ I’m over hear –” I heard him yell, but he was cut off. I heard him yell and I ran faster. As I followed to sound I got turned around and didn’t know where I was. Finally I rounded a corner and almost tripped over Michael and the vampire – Dmitri – fighting on the ground. Well more like Dmitri on top of Michael about to finish him off. In all the commotion they had not heard me approach. I looked around and seen the stake Michael had dropped when Dmitri ambushed him. I quietly shuffled over and grabbed it. I turned around in time to see Dmitri sink his teeth in to Michaels neck. With no more time for stealth I ran up behind him and yelled, “ No!” I seen the vampire’s head shoot up and look at me with glowing red eyes. I brought the stake down into his chest and I heard his hiss of fury fade into a gurgling sound as he fell over where I pushed him off of Michael.

“ Michael!” I knelt down beside him and felt his wound, it was gushing blood. I took off my jacket that I had worn and pressed it against his neck desperately trying to stop the bleeding. “ Come on come on come on.”  “ Joey?” he whispered. I breathed a shaky sigh of relief, “ ya it’s me. Are you okay?” “Ow. I will be please tell me you staked that blood – sucking S.O.B” He said setting up. “ Ya I got him.”  Standing up he said, “ good now come on he told me where she was. “ Was I right?” “ Ya according to him you were.”

We ran towards the corner and finally came to the last turn as we rounded it we seen… an empty space. “ What?” I asked confused. “ That thing lied to me!” Michael yelled, outraged. “ The center.” I whispered. “What?”  I looked at Michael, “ The center that’s where Claire is. It’s the last place we’d look since there were so many other options.”      “ Bravo Josef.” A voice said behind me. It was Dmitri. “ but times run out. Now say good bye to your precious Claire.” And with that he disappeared around the corner. “ I thought you staked him!” Michael said. “ I did!” I yelled. “ There must be more than one.” Michael said. “  Great. The more the merrier.” I snapped. We took off running through the maze. We had rounded several corners when we heard Claire yell. “ HELP!” We picked up our speed. Finally we came around the last hedge and seen the most horrific sight I’d ever seen. Dmitri smiled wickidly as he presses his bleeding wrist to Claire’s mouth. Claire reached up and grabbed his arm sucking on his arm and completing the transformation. “NOOO!”  Michael and I both yelled together and dashed forward. We both tackled Dmitri at the same time and pinned him against the wooden pole I drabbed the rope and tired his hand and legs together and then to the pole. Michael kneeled beside Claire and I heard him sob. “ Claire?” he chocked out. Beside me Dmitri started cackling. Michael jumped up and punched him not that it affected him much. Though he did stop laughing  he said, “ You hunters think your so much better than everything else.  You act like your God’s gift to Earth,” he spat, “ but really your just filthy insects that pollute this planet. You all say we’re the monsters but really you should be looking at yourselves.” I heard the ropes snap felt his body slam into mine. I hit  the ground hard and lost my breath. I gasped for air and struggled against him. I felt his body dip and I jerked back in time to hear his teeth snap together beside my ear.  I gasped and he growled in frustration. I felt his body lean forward again, but this time I felt his teeth connect with my shoulder. I screamed in agony as his teeth broke my skin. I could feel the blood pour out of me and in to his mouth. I seen black dots at the edge of my vision and started to close me eyes. Then Dmitri suddenly jumped up as if in pain. I looked at him and his eyes were wide in surprise and he gripped his stomach in pain. That’s when Michael came up behind him and with the swipe of a blade cut Dmitri’s head clean off. Dmitri’s head fell  to the side and then his body crumpled where it stood.  I sat up and seen Michael gripping a machete. “ Why didn’t you do that sooner!” I yelled. “ I forgot I had it.” He stated. I sighed in frustration. “ Let me check your wound,” Michael said. I pushed him away and said, “ I’m fine.” I crawled over to Claire and pulled her onto my lap. “Maybe it didn’t work I.” I said almost crying. “ I doubt it. Vampires never fail at this. I held on to her for minute longer and stood up. I took barley a step when my legs went out and I fell forward. “ Whoa whoa whoa come on Joey don’t pass out on me now.” Michael said reaching out to catch me. I tried to respond but blackness over took me and I lost consciousness.

 

 

I woke up from the worst nightmare  I’d ever had. In it my parents died my sister almost died and monsters were real. Then I fell in love but she died. I opened my expecting to find the comforting navy blue walls of my room, but I was looking at the cream beige colored walls of a strange room. I sat up fast and gasped as a sharp pain shot across my shoulder and chest I looked down and seen white bandages going across my shoulder and under my arm. I was in just my jeans. I lifted my head to look around the room despite the pounding headache at my temples. “Agh.”  “ Hey look who’s up.”  I stared stupidly at the blonde boy about my age that stood in the hall near what I guessed was a hotel bathroom. It was the same guy from my nightmare. Then I realized my parents  were dead, Kay was dying, Claire was probably dead, and Michael was real. It wasn’t a dream it was the sad reality. I sighed and swung my feet over the bed an walked to the bathroom after I relieve myself I walked back out to the hotel room. I noticed that it was a different hotel then where we had been before. “ Where are we?” “Beckley, Wv.” “ Where’s Claire?” “ She didn’t ingest enough blood to make the change so we took her to the local hospital.” I breathed a sigh of relief. At least she was still alive, and human. Just then the door opened and a woman walked. “ Here I brought you guys dinner,” Cassidy said as she set down a bag that smelled of Chinese food. “ What is she doing here?” I asked Michael. “ Nice to see you to Joey.” She said. “ Well you passed out on me Claire we out cold, and I knew I couldn’t get either of you back without leaving one of you behind cause I’d never find you again so I called for help.” Cassidy smirked and said, “ If it weren’t for me either  you or Claire would be dead.” She turned to Michael, “Well I better get going I have demons to hunt, monsters to kill, and idiots to find.” “ Okay, Bye.” Michael said locking the dead bolt behind her. Michael sat own beside me and handed me some beef and broccoli. “So what happened after I passed out?” “Not much I tried waking you but you wouldn’t wake up so I called Cassidy and waited. She showed up and I carried you back to the car and she got Claire since she was lighter and easier to carry. We checked in here and she fixed our shoulder. What I want to know is what happened before you passed out.” I swallowed the food in my mouth, “what do you mean?”  Michael sat his food down and said, “that vampire reacted to you as if it had swallowed something poisonous.” I thought back to the vampires reaction my me and I shrugged, “I don’t know I was just as surprised as he and you were. Wait where’s John.” “ John’s fine he had a minor concussion and should be released later tonight he’s going to get a car and meet us here. Then we’re gonna wait for Claire to get better and head home. But for now me and you are kicking it here tonight.”

 I finished my food and asked Michael if I could take off this bandage yet to shower. He told me he had extra and he could rewrap it. I took of my jeans and stuff and then started un reveling the bandage from my torso.  I had a big bite mark that was still swollen and long scratch marks his nails that went from the top o my left shoulder beside the bite mark across to my right side that ended just below my shoulder. They didn’t look deep enough to cause any real damage.  I didn’t even remember him scratching me but I must have been more focused on the pain in my shoulder. I got in the shower and scrubbed of the dirt and grime the had coated my body and the grease that was in my hair. I took a clean washrag and carefully cleaned the scratches and bite mark with warm water and soap. I got out of the shower and leaned over the sink to peer into the mirror I had bags under my eyes and a small scratch un my right cheek. I closed my eyes and pictured the vampires face after he bit me. I seen the pain in his red eyes and him grabbing his stomach. I finished drying off and walked back out to the main room. Michael insisted on wrapping my shoulder again just to be safe even though I told him I was fine. Eventually I gave I and left him do it. Afterward he turned on the TV an started flipping through the channels.“ Hey look The Vampire Diaries,” he teased. “ I think I’ve had enough vampires for now.” I retorted. He laughed and turned the channel. I looked out the window and  by my estimate we were on the seventh floor. I then got a drink of water and laid down. I was still exhausted even though I had just woken up this evening. After looking at the clock which said 9:15 I rolled over and watched TV with Michael who had settled on Godzilla. I watched as the giant monster destroy Tokyo in black and white until I drifted off to sleep.

Welcome To Hell : Chapter 1

Welcome to Hell

            “I’m just saying its improbable for God  not the exist.” Amy countered while crunching on a potato chip. “ And I’m  just saying  it’s improbable he does.” I said getting annoyed with the whole argument.  Every so often  we have this argument and the only thing that  comes out of it is one of us sulking about for the rest of the day ignoring the other. It always starts simple with a tiny reference to the almighty that I just can’t refuse to comment on, and boom a fight erupts.

               We were sitting in Morgan Valley’s High School cafeteria eating lunch. We were looking out the window at a jasmine flower tree and Amy said, “ God makes the most beautiful things.”  Me being me I couldn’t resist arguing, “ No nature makes the most beautiful things.”  So ten minutes, five cuss  words, and two pissed off teens later , here we are still arguing when Josh cuts in, “Guys you have different beliefs so you’re never going to agree. Now that that’s been established… Can you both just drop it?” Amy glared at both of us and pursed her lips then mumbled, “Fine.”  I shrugged and continued to eat my PB&J.  The rest of the lunch period we sat in a heavy unbroken silence. 

            When the bell finally rang I stood up and walked away. I was glad to be away from a seething Amy but also sad to go to class. My next class was Philosophy. I’ve always been told that science can explain everything so me and Philosophy don’t mix well, and since I have block scheduling  I’m stuck with our crack-pot teacher Mr. Jones, for  ninety minutes.

            “Watch where you’re going bitch!” Melanie Gordon snapped at me as I bumped in to her walking down the hall. Melanie was the cliché queen bee, from her platinum blonde hair to her fake tanned skin. I doubted anything about the girl was real, except maybe her eyes, maybe.  She had sky blue eyes that everyone – including me – was jealous of.

            I ignored her and kept walking to class. I rounded the corner and walked in to class.  “ good afternoon Miss Young.” I put on a fake smile and sat down. I was always the first one to class since I carried my book with me to lunch and had no need to go anywhere else. More people started to come in and eventually Mr. Jones came in and started teaching.

            Class went by pretty fast and I actually liked it. We discussed reality  and perception for the whole period. When the bell rang I stood up and bumped in to Damon Porter. “Sorry excuse me,” I said to him. “Nah, don’t worry about it your fine.”  I  just smiled not knowing what to say.  He started to walk away then turned around, “ Hey I’m having this party tonight. You wanna come?” “Can I bring some friends?” I asked knowing Amy and Josh would kill me if I didn’t. “Sure anybody you like.” “Thanks I’ll be there. Where is there exactly anyway?”  He pulled out a piece of paper and wrote a number on it, “ he text me I’ll give you the details. See ya.”  I smiled to myself and tucked the piece of paper into my pocket.

            I caught a lucky break by finding Amy and Josh at My locker waiting for me. “Guys guess what!” I said full of excitement. “What?” Amy said with mock cheerfulness ,” you’re ready to admit your wrong?”

“Forget that, we’re going to Damon Porters party!” I squealed. Amy – momentarily forgetting she was mad at me- stared at me with her mouth hanging open and Josh said, “ what?”  I smiled and nodded, “ I got us invited to Damon’s party.” 

            We walked out of the school and got in Josh’s old Ford Mustang. It was green with black racing stripes, and the inside was white upholstery. I sat in the back seat and Amy sat in the passenger seat.  I put my bag beside me and pulled out my phone. I typed a new text message and entered Damon’s number.  I sat there looking out the window and waited nervously for his reply.  Part of me worried this was some trick or set up, but I pushed those thoughts away. “So how exactly did we get invited to this party?” Josh asked. “Um… I kinda bumped in to him… Literally… and he invited us to his party.” Amy and Josh looked at each other and Amy bit her lip like she does then she thinks you’re lying.  “ Are you sure this isn’t some trick or something to humiliate us? I mean we aren’t exactly Damon’s favorite flavor” “ We have a flavor?” I asked. Amy turned in her seat and glared at me, “You know what I mean” I was about to reply when my phone buzzed. I looked at it and smiled a little. It was Damon’s number. 

Hey! Parties at 319 Columbus Avenue @9:00.

I smiled and replied okay. Josh dropped me and Amy off at my house and drove off, “ See you  at eight.” We waved and walked in to my house. “ Okay so what are we going to wear?’ Amy asked. I shrugged and bit my bottom lip. “ I guess what I’m wearing now.” I said. Amy’s eyes got bug and she shook her head, “ like hell you are. You have to make a good impression.”  “ Why,” I whined stomping my feet. “ Come on,” She ordered and drug me up the stairs to my room. I sat on my bed while Amy when threw my closet. “ Ah ha!” She held up a dress in front of me and said, “ no, no, just no.”  It was a  red cocktail dress I had from some party my parents drug me to every year. I stopped just above my  knees and had short sleeves that barley cover my shoulder.  She laid the dress on the bed and picked up  a pair on white pumps “ you have got to wear these with it!”

In the end I wore the dress and the shoes and Amy did my make up with a copper color eye because it would ‘enhance’ my eye color and a nude lip. I have to admit I looked good with my hair curled. My hair was so brown it was almost black and ended half way past my shoulder blades. Usually I leave it straight and just brushed it.

Amy wore a white strapless dress that ended right above her knees and black stiletos. Her blonde hair was scrunched and she had a red lip and natural eyes. Josh wore a black polo and jeans. We got in his car and drove off . I was worried about sticking out, but when we got theref I knew we wouldn’t. Almost everyone there was dress in the same manner we were.

We exited the car and walked up to the mansion status house. We stopped at the door and rung the doorbell. “Hey. Jaden and company. Come in.” He stepped aside and let us through. I looked around the room and thought,  Oh this should be fun……..

Welcome To Hell : Intro

Hell. What is Hell? Is it a fiery pit of misery, full of souls of the damned?  Or a word that people say when they ‘re angry. Or is it an alternate universe where evil runs the show? Or is it more complicated and harder to understand. Or what if Hell really wasn’t Hell at all?

Some people will never know. I’m Jayden Young. My parents are Atheist so I didn’t really know much about heaven or hell. I knew that heaven was a place when Christians believes they go once they’d die to live in everlasting peace with God, and I knew Hell was a place where the evil and corrupt when to burn for all eternity.  That’s about it as far as I could tell you.  I learned all that from my friends Amy and Josh.

My friends Amy and Josh are both Christian. They respect my views, but Amy all way references the Bible when she can. Josh is a little more lose with his beliefs.  I try not to argue religion with them, but occasionally a fights bound to happened. I guess that’s where my story starts , during a fight with my friends about religion. Well maybe it starts a tad before that.

Here’s my story,

Welcome to Hell…..

P.S. I will be posting The Hunt Chapter 13 later today
