All Alone: Chapter 1, Part 2

They want me to drink blood!  Magali even tries to get me to!  Leon tried to make me take a bath in it, the creep-o!!1

Anyway, another night hair, well, it's more like tar, actually; whatever, he's not like the others.  He can turn into this wolf-like creature.  The tar's name is Rayne, he growls at me a lot.  Then again, he's sometimes nicer than Magali.  Rayne and Wish are cousins, Wish and Cannon are brothers, Cannon and Leon are "special friends," and Leon and Magali grew up together and are kinda like brothers; at least that's how I see it...  Wait, "kinda?"  David always used to say that.  Hold on-David?  He's my...my...I don't know!  Charlie and David, maybe I'm starting to remember...2

Rayne wants me to run with him tonight.  Wish doesn't want me to, says I'm too inexperienced.  I say, "I want to, who doesn't know how to run?"  "It's not the type of run you know."  "Well, let me know it.  Please.  Wish..."  "Fine."  Rayne seemed happy and told me he'll teach me everything I need to know about the run.  "You'll enjoy yourself," he said, "I wouldn't have invited you if I thought you would dislike it."  Then I realized something, though I don't know how it came to mind:  "Why aren't there any girls here?"  He was silent, then said, "We have to train you first, I'll come when it's time for the run."  He left.  I wonder.  Train me for what?  This is all so strange to me.3

I love the run!  Rayne transformed into a wolf and showed me how too!  We ran in wolf-skin all over a huge, dense forest-and I saw the moon!  It was the first time I've seen the moon, or anything else outdoors, in such a long while.  "I loved it, it was amazing!" I exclaimed to Rayne.  "Really?"  "Yes, of course!"  He smiled, "Glad to hear it."  He hesitated, then said, "I want you with me on the full moon."  The way he said it made me feel strange, so I had to ask, "Define 'with.'"  He smiled again, leaning toward me, breath on my face, "You'll find out."4

Then he left, still smiling to himself.5

I told Wish about what happened.  He laughed.  "I can't wait until the girls meet you!  I mean, if the guys are falling this quick, just imagine them!"  He seemed happy, then calm, but still happy.  Then he brought me closer and played with my hair again.  "You're so innocent."  He kissed the top of my forehead.  "Not for long though, for tomorrow you will hunt, my love."  "Your child," I corrected.  "Yes...my child."6

Then he left, and I know this hunt is another way for me to drink blood.7

I did it, I loved it.  8

We went to a concert, My Chemical Romance.  "The lead singer is a vampyre," says Cannon.  I ask, "Am I a vampyre?"  "No," answers Rayne, "You're a vampire."  "What's the difference?"  Magali explains, "Vampires are the real deal, vampyres are just wannabes."  "Do they still drink blood?" I ask.  "Yes, so will you," Wish tells me, then to everyone, "Choose a victim."9

I chose a girl with a shirt that looked like it came from Hottopic.com... I keep on remembering things that can't help me!  A store website and two names; oh well, anyway, Wish and the others each got a victim and we went to the movies with them after the concert.  Leon paid for everything, Cannon chose Van Helsing as the movie.  Rayne came too, but he is neither a vampire or vampyre, so his date was real.  Eli, a Magick and Rayne's date, didn't like the idea of us courting innocents just for a meal, but he didn't try and stop us or complain.10

It was half-way through the movie when I smelt blood.  Such a lovely, beautiful, lustful, mouth-watering, delicious, heavenly, godly, perfect sent...  I look past my girl, whose name is Samantha, to see Wish and the others, save for Rayne, feeding.  "You can kiss me too if you like," said Samantha.  It must look like kisses on the neck to her, but can't she smell the blood of her friends?  I see the pulse of her jugular vein, feel my fangs grow as they yearn to pierce her soft flesh...  Instinct takes over, all I remember is the gorgeous taste, thousands of times better than the smell...11

After what seemed like a perfectly lustful eternity, Wish taps my shoulder, time to stop.  I reluctantly let go, then, again acting on instinct, like the wound, which heals instantly before my eyes.  "We need to get outta here," whispers Wish, then he laughs a little.  "You're such a messy eater," he smiles, wiping the blood off my face with his black jacket sleeve, "and not so innocent anymore."  Yay.12

They told me that we're going to go to Montana for the full moon and also to pick up some of the clan and Rayne's pack friends.  Eli's coming too.  Rayne's a werewolf, Eli's a Magick (or sorcerer), and I'm a vampire.  After the full moon, we'll go to L.A. to meet up with the rest of the three families for the pairing, whatever that means.  We'll stay until the middle of October then go to the "homeland" for the Halloween celebration.  Eli said I'd meet the heads of the three families at the pairing:  Dakota, the Vampire Lord, Vermont, the Werewolf King, and Anansi, the Empress of the Magicks.13

I don't understand any of it, but I feel like I'm home...14
