Killer on the loose
Aaron always thought he was a normal boy. He went to school like everyone else and he had friends like everyone else. But his parents didn’t tell him that he was half vampire. Twenty-three years ago Aaron's mother got married to a vampire and nine months later Aaron's sister Kara was born. She however did not inherit the vampire gene; the gene was dominant but only when a vampire marries another vampire. If a vampire married a human then the gene can only be dominant in males. Three years later Aaron was born and he carried the gene.
But some alterations happened with his chemical make up. This made Aaron a very unique vampire, one most vampires would not forget. On a stormy Friday night in October a seventeen-year-old boy lay on his bed staring at his ceiling. He had short spiked black hair, he was wearing black cargo pants and a black hoodie with a red flame outlined in white on it. His parents had gone out for the night and with his sister away at college the next-door neighbor babysat him. She wouldn’t let him go to the clubs with his friends so all he could do was stay in his room. His parents were out on a romantic date to celebrate their anniversary. What they didn’t know was that this would be their last anniversary together.
"Isn't this place beautiful honey," said Vlad as he pulled the chair out for his wife to sit down.
"Why yes it is," said Mary as she sat down.
The waiter walked up to the table and handed them both menus.
"My name is Tom and I will be your waiter for tonight. Is there anything I can get you to drink?" asked Tom.
"Red wine for both of us," said Vlad.
"I'll get that right away sir," said Tom.
Before Tom left Vlad pulled him close and whispered something in his ear. Tom nodded so Vlad knew that he understood and then went to get their drinks.
"So lets see what looks good on the menu," said Vlad.
"Vlad you did not ask the nice young man to bring you what I think you told him to did you?" asked Mary.
Vlad nodded and Mary shook her head.
"I know but I'm sorry I haven't had a decent drink in weeks," Vlad kept his voice low " Besides we vampires must act civilized and try to fit in as we go about our everyday life," he continued.
"That's why I married you," said Mary.
"I know, and I knew that you would keep a secret and wouldn't care what I was, as long as I was a loyal husband," said Vlad as he took her hands in his.
"And what a fine job as a husband and father you have done," Mary smiled back.
Outside a black Impala pulled up to the restaurant and a man dressed in all black got out of the car. He loaded a pistol and proceeded to the restaurant entrance.
"Oh shoot!" Mary said a little too loud and attacked a few people's stares.
"What is it?" asked Vlad a little concerned at her sudden outburst.
"We forgot to tell Aaron," Mary whispered.
"Honey it's only the second week in October, we have a few more weeks before the big feed," whispered Vlad.
"If we keep putting this off he's going end up like Uncle Robbie, you remember what he did when he found out he was a vampire," whispered Mary.
"Yeah," Vlad chuckled. "He went crazy."
There was a loud bang. Vlad fell backwards in his chair and clutched his heart. Mary turned around and found a gun barrel pointed at her face. Everyone else in the restaurant froze. No one made any sudden movements so the gunman wouldn’t be tempted to shoot anyone else. It seemed as if the gunman had other plans.
"Step outside," said the man with the gun. "NOW!"
She started to walk towards the front door, her eyes glued on her husband.
"HEY YOU WON'T GET FAR! THE POLICE ARE ON THERE WAY YOU MURDERER!" yelled the cashier.
"Who gives a fuck," said the man as he shot the cashier.
Once outside Mary turned around to face the man who shot her husband. He was wearing sunglasses so she couldn’t identify him completely.
"You know why I had to shoot your husband right?" the man asked with no emotion.
"No, why?" asked Mary as her hands began to tremble with fear.
"He didn’t tell you the deep shit he was in?" the man raised his voice.
"No what he does with other vampires is his business," Mary started to panic.
"He was on a hit list, he betrayed one of the top vampires," the man said as he pulled her close to him.
Mary's eyes went wide and she just stared into the man's sunglasses. The man pushed her aside and took out a different gun clip.
"I'm also sorry to say that you and the rest of your family will die," said the man as he changed the clip in his gun.
The man never gave Mary a chance to say one last word. As soon as the clip was loaded he shot her at point blank range blowing a whole in her chest. He left for his car while her body fell to the ground and a puddle of blood formed on the sidewalk. As his car left the scene of the crime the police arrived. The man made his way to Vlad and Mary's house; he was going after Aaron and his sister. Lucky for Kara she was at college and it would take the vampires a while to get to her. The black Impala pulled up to the house and the man got out of the car and went to the front door.
"AARON GET DOWN HERE NOW!" yelled Mrs. Schmidt.
"You can do what ever you need to do on your own," Aaron mumbled to himself.
There was a loud bang as the front door was kicked in. Three louder bangs ripped through the quiet house. Aaron nearly fell off his bed; he quickly got up and went to his bedroom door. Aaron slowly opened the door and peaked into the dark lifeless hallway. The only light came from the living room and it was hardly enough to cast a shadow.
"Mrs. Schmidt," Aaron called out his voice a little shaky.
Aaron slowly walked to the top of the stairs and looked towards the bottom to see Mrs. Schmidt's dead body lying on the floor in a puddle of blood. Kneeling over her was a man in all black; he looked like he was biting her neck. Aaron was eyeing the blood on the floor and his mouth started to water; for some reason he felt hungry.
