The Chronicles of the Immortal (Story 1)

    One dark evening, around midnight, a young vampire, who's name is not important, wandered along a secluded path. She walked along the road humming to herself softly. A tune similar to Meredith Brooks's 'Bitch'. 1

    The wind tousled her long brunette hair along behind her. Her porcelain skin glowed faintly in the darkness and her emerald eyes glitter in the moon light. Her heightened hearing picked up the sound of a car approaching. Black BMW Z-4 Roadster Convertible. She smiled in spite of herself. Midnight snacks never hurt. 2

    Straightening her black mini skirt, she stepped out into the road. The sports car slowed to a stop; the window rolling down. A younger man leaned out. 3

    "Hey, mind giving a poor girl a ride to town?" she asked smiling widely. His gaze traveled up her figure and he nodded. 'Yes, men are all alike' She thought to herself, as she gets in the car, 'always wanting a piece of ass'. 4

    "Thanks, a lot. You are the first person I've seen in about three hours."5

    "Not a problem, beautiful. But why are you out in the middle of no where?"6

    She looked him over slowly. His eyes blood shot and his breath smelled faintly of whiskey. The car wreaked of cocaine and gun powder.7

    They sat in silence for what seems like an eternity. The trees rushing by. Out of the corner of her eye she sees the young man sneak glances at her.8

    "So, you gotta name?" He asked nonchalantly.9

    "Carmina. You?" She answered.10

    "Dave."11

    The car pulled out onto the highway; moving into on coming traffic. Carmina hummed softly looking out the window. Suddenly Dave blared on the horn.12

"Watch where you're going dumbass!!" He screamed at another car. He laughed softly to himself looking back over at Carmina. "Sorry about that...I have road rage."13

"Umm...it's ok." She replied.14

Annoyed by the silence, Carmina leaned over and turned on the radio. They pulled up next to a gas station and Dave gets out. She realized that this half coherent individual she is planning to kill, isn't that bad of a person. She doesn't know what exactly brought on these feelings but it made her extremely uncomfortable. 15

"No, Carmina don't start acting stupid. You are a vampire. Kill him for God's sake." She whispered to herself.             16
