THE SECRET

"Why? I've known you for so long. You're my friend." I said to the slayer as he holds the stake in one hand and with a clenched fist. That night I almost ended it all, but first I must tell you what happened before.

1-The Lake
I was sitting under a tree, its been 2 months since I came here to this town of Gizley. My school was normal, you had your classes of people, nerds, jocks, outcasts, bullies, cheerleaders, goths, and well, me. I'm not normal to you but I'm normal to my kind...of vampires. I think of my friend as I mindlessly walk too close to the edge of the lakd and fall in, still thinking about him. His blood smelled like my favorite blood type AB Negative. I stay at the bottom of the lake before I see a hand pulling me up. I saw fangs, another vampire? It was...Shawn.

"Shawn, you're a vampire?"

"Yes, I am. Did you not know?"

I don't eat my lunch. I go to my locker and drink there. I look at Shawn too shocked to even imagine him, my own friend, a vampire. Before I could say anything else I felt a sharp pain in my neck.

"Don't you know that I'm a vampire too?! Hult!" I said.

"Yes, I know that. But vampire blood is always the best. When I found out another vampire was here I started hurting. Then you showed up. But don't worry, I only feed on vampires once a year, I don't kill them...most of the time."

It's been at least 4 minutes since he began, and I find myself beginning to fall into a sleep of which I might not return from.
