Accomplice - Luke

Ava was walking through the park. She had a bag with her, in which she he things such as her phone, wallet and a water bottle filled with blood. She had gone out of her way to buy a bottle you couldn't see through. She was a little ashmed of what she had to do to survive. She had learned to always have blood with her, just in case something happened and she couldn't get to the school. She just walked through the park. She was not a fan of sleeping lately. Her dreams were filled with memories she would rather just forget. So here she was, going around town instead of sleeping. She stopped a moment in the middle of everything, closed her eyes and just listened. She did that sometimes when she needed to shut off. She just listened to everything happening around her, the distant whoosh of wind, the birds building nests in the trees, the squirrels running around in the ground. And then she picked up on a human. She opened her eyes and looked around to see if she could spot them, mostly just to avoid them. She didn't want to tempt herself more than necessary.

Outfit
a black hoodie and a couple of destroyed jeans + a couple of worn out shoes

It was a cold evening, you could just fell how there was no heat out in the streets, only what the person itself had. In these streets, was Luke. He and been out on his own 9 years now, after he lost the once who took him in. As the streets light was looking over the streets, he was walking in the shadows, as he came closer to the place he had scouted out. He had grabbed a few jewellery, that he could sell, when he had heard the door go up, he had jumped out of the window. Being lucky not to destroy his own leg, as he moved down the street he took himself to his ribs, even if the rest of him was fine, he had probably broken a few ribs, as he had casted himself out of the window. He then had put the jewellery in his hood’s pockets. He then had pull the hood over his head, on his hoodie, as he walked down to the park, he need to wait a bit, before moving towards his hideout, where he could hide his jewellery until he could sell them to the fence.


When he finally was out of the area he pulled down his hood and went into the park, he had never been good at socialising, so he kind of hoped no one would pay attention to him, so he could put the evidence in a place it could be so he was safe, for getting taken with the jewellery on his back, as he went trough the park he was just about to walk into a girl, he quickly saw it, but before he could do anything he walked right into, just so they touch each other quickly, he felt the cold, but he had to try to get past her, this could be a person, who either wanted the jewels themselves, or one who would take him to the cops he could not have that happen.

Ava just stood still as he could smell the person coming closer. The adrenalin was so clear. Whoever it was, had just done something to get their adrenalin flowing. She didn't like that smell. Just for good measure, she took a large sip of the blod and wiped her lips and teeth from any traces of the red liquid. She fell forwards a little when he bumped into her. He felt so warm. She found herself reaching for him, but then she stopped herself and forced her hand back. "I think you mean 'I'm sorry'," she said, raising an eyebrow at him. He was being really rude. "You're being rude," she exclaimed and kept her green eyes in his direction.

She had become a little more outspoken after becoming a vampire. She had never been one to be quiet, but now it was almost impossible to shut her up. "What are you even doing out at this time?" She wondered out loud and looked around. Maybe he was a murderer? She took a step back per instinct, before remembering she was probably stronger than him now. She was still learning about the new strength and speed she possesed. The first order of business had been getting the bloodlust under control. She was still struggeling a bit with it.

As the girl started talking to him, he gave a sigh from him. Why could she not just ignore it and, let him be on his own way. When she said to him, that she thought he meant he was sorry he looked at her, “right of course because its my fault.” He said a bit arrogant; he had never been good at doing this, but maybe it was just because he was used to it, “ what are you talking about I am being rude, you could just go to the side, when you saw me.”

He said as he looked at her with his eyebrow raised, when she asked about what he was doing out at this point at time. He answers sarcastic still trying to protect himself, he had never been good at talking like this. So being a dick was just his way of hiding it, “oh you got me I am actually a vampire.”

He said clearly being sarcastic, what would be the fun part about this would, be when he would figure out that those creatures where real. “So I am out now for hunting for my meal, and who knows maybe you are, my meal since you are  just the wrong place.” He said giving out a sound of a vampire or how he thought they would sound.

Ava just narrowed her eyes at his arrogant comment. "Maybe you should stop running around like a maniac in the dark," she bit back. She was not going to let him talk to her like that and get away with it. Who the hell did the think he was? She scoffed when he claimed to be a vampire. He clearly wasn't. She could hear his heart, smell his blood. She looked away a moment to regain her control.

"And this is supposed to scare me?" She was not scared for him, he should be scared of her. "Did you just hiss at me?" She walked closer to him and crossed har arms when she stood in front of him. "So what now? Are you going to run be out of the park to the cemetery and drink my blood?" She just shook her head. "How lucky you are to stumple into a naive young school girl in the dark." She let her hands fall down her side. "Or maybe I'm a vampire too," she suggested with a small smirk. The irony here was too good to give up on.

When she called him a maniac, he looked at her he, was the maniac not her, that was so stupid. He listens to her words, and thought for himself it had to scare her, when she commented on his hiss he, looked at her again, he was not going to let the mask fall not right now anyway.

When she added the next words, he looked at her, “who knows you probably should either run or take down to the cemetery, I can turn you to a vampire, either with or without your voice.” He said clearly trying to hide, his true nature, he had to keep playing this. When she said she, was a vampire too, he looked at her, with his head on the side.

She played the card he had not seen, she said she was a vampire to the cold hands she, had and the smirk should have gotten him to be a bit more confused, but not enough to play with the idea he did, in his head. He then followed her with his eyes, before he moved towards he, so a few millimetre was between their faces, even though he was a bit higher.

“If you are a vampire you got nothing to fear, but if not well let’s just say, you will figure out that, the stories are real about us.” He added, sending her a smirked, “so what will it be princesse.” He said, as he study her reaction, if she reacted how he hoped he could go home if not maybe he could scare her, at the cemetery.

Ava was a little paranoid these days, but she was still not letting a human intimidate her. Even before she was turned into a vampire, she had more power than him. She could perform magic, that gave her advantage he didn't have. But she had a feeling he didn't know any supernatural races existed - otherwise he would probably be more careful with throwing a word such as a vampire around.

"Vampires are so romantic," she said and battered her eye lashes at him. She was playing along with this, which was not that hard considering she did study drama. She was at a clear advantage here, as she knew he was lying his ass off, and he probably had no idea she knew.

She looked at him as there was only millimeters between their faces, it got a little to intimate for her taste, and she stepped back. "Do you live at the cemetery? Are you taking me home to meet your vampire family?" She gleamed with excitement.

"Take me with you," she said and looked at him like he was the most amazing person who ever existed. It was all pretend, as he was probably pretty ordinary. At least compared to the people at the school who had lived for hundreds of years, who had amazing abilities. He did have an ability to be rude and be a smart-ass, but that was more personality traits than anything.

As he waited for her answer he hoped, she would decide to just let it be, and leave. He made ready for a reason to leave himself, until he heard what she said. She should be scared completely, he was a bloodsucker but instead, she said vampires was so romantic and with her eyes, blinking as, she looked at him, he try hiding it what she did to him, because those eyes, he took a deep breath in, before his eyes meet hers again, when she steeped a little away he did the same.

He then took himself in biting his lower lips when the next words came out from her, he keept his mask though when she said, if he lived at the cemetery, and if he was taking her home to meet his family.

He hissed a bit, before answering, “yas they would probably not mind some food, or one, he maybe can make one of us.” He added, when she then asked him to take her with him, he quickly decide, he should make a choice give up or see if he could scare her, if they came home to him. When she gave him a look he never had seen, before like he was the most amazing person on earth, he took her hand, and moved towards the graveyard with her, he though even when she would asked why he did not use his vampire speed to get them there faster hiss at her. When they finally came to the cemetery . He grabbed her turn her neck towards, his mouth, and actualy made a bite, in her, neck it was more like a human version but, she would not know before he let go of her.

Ava was not sure what he was trying to get out of this. Was he desperate to scare her away? Oh no, was she in his way? But then again, he could just leave. He could be rude again and just leave in the middle of a conversation. She was not forcing him to stay in any way. He did have really blue eyes, didn't he? Like so blue they were almost shining in the dark. She despised that she was thinking like that. She was in the middle of a pretty severe life change, she shouldn't add new people to her life right now.

"Oh my god. Can I become a vampire too?" She couldn't help but play along. When he took her hand, she felt warm in her cheek, even though she was no longer able to blush. She didn't question him not using speed - she knew he couldn't. She was surprised when he bit her. What just happened? As he stood this close to her, she could hear his heart beat, smell his blood. She took in deep breaths to control her longing for his blood. The moment he let go of her, she took her bottle with blood and took a sip. She licked her lips. "Am I becoming a vampire now?" She asked curiously. She looked at him in the dark and saw him so clearly, where he probably just saw her as a dark shadow.

"Maybe we will see,” he added, before he send her a slight smirk, he then took her to the graveyard, where he bite her in the neck, when she then asked if she was a vampire now, when he let go for her, Hhe was a bit confused but made and effort hiding it.

He then smile for himself before he talked agian.“yes, it will take a little while, for it to kick in, but you should be one of the night creatures tomorrow.” He said, sending her a charming smile, not that she was gonna see it because of the darkness, he could slightly, see the figure of her now. He then leaned back, as he then try to picture a way for himself, to do something, he could not push it out any longer, he did not want to give up there for, he looked at her before he answered.

“You should become one, if you live trough the change, after that you will fell, a more clear part of yourself, where your body, then would, fell a bit more heavy, until you learn how to tackle your primal and predator instincts.” He said, as he looked at her, “are you not scared of the change?” He asked to, see how she would answer him, she seemed way to clear for , what had happened, and he was running out of things to say, reasons to lie, and it had not gone his way at all.

Ava was having a blast with this. Because she definitely had the advantage here. "Oh how exciting!" She exclaimed in what almost sounded like a squeal.

"Scared? Are you kidding? This is the most exciting thing of my life!" She widened her eyes a moment. "I don't feel so good," she told him. She put her hand agains her chest. "Am I dying? Oh god. Don't let me die." She fell to the ground like she had passed out. She stayed for a moment just to have him freak out.

She rose to her feet and bowed before him. "I study drama," she told him with a wink. "I know you're not really a vampire," she looked at him with a slight vulnerability. "Did you believe me?" She wanted to know if her acting was believable.

When Ava, squaled, he backed a little bit away, and looked at her, or where he heard the voice come from. When she then stated, that she was not scared and this was one of the biggest excitements of her life, before she said, that she did not fell so good, before he heard sound of her collapsing on the ground, then he ran over towards her, and cheeked after a pulse, but there was none, he for the first time, had a felling she was not normal because she was just as cold as when he briefly, had touched her. “Fuck fuck fuck, I need to get rid of the evidences.” He mumbled to himself before he backed away, shortly after he heard her voice again, and look at her she had just gotten up and bowed before him, before he saw a wink with her eye, as she told him she study drama.

When she then, said that, she knew he was not a vampire, he looked at her, before he try denying the fact, “pff noo I am a vampire, and you just are seeing things in another life now.” He added, before he answered her thing about if he believed, her “well maybe a bit, like not the first time when I turn that people don’t live trough it.” He added, before he then asked her, a question he thought, made sense now. “who are you anyway ?” He asked, as he study, her "because you where dead, and your heart did not beat so to speak."

He finally noticed, that on his words, it sounded like there was no such thing as vampirers, and this with the girl made, him re think everything, he quickly, tighten his hold on his jacket, with what he had stolen close to his, body, before he looked at her he was a bit nervous now, "you got me i am not a vampire but what on earth are you, no one, can play dead, that well with no heart beating and no, breath taking, it was like you where dead." He said as he backed a little away, from where he tought she stood.

Ava heard how he was already talking about getting rid of the evidence. That was a logical but also strange reaction. It was almost like he had been through it before. She shook her head when he still claimed to be a vampire. ”Okay stop pretending. I’m not an idiot.” Now it was getting a little old. She knew he was lying, and he probably had no idea that she was in fact the vampire. Or else he was just really stupid. He then asked who she was and looked very intently on her. ”Ava. And like I said, I study drama.” She had thought about how she would explain herself from the start. Hopefully he would buy it. ”No, it did. It’s this trick we do in drama when we’re preforming a play. If we need to play dead, we have a way of slowing our heartbeat and breathing so much it becomes impossible to see we are alive. I just did that.”

Ava could almost sense how nervous he was. ”What I am? What do you mean? Do you think I’m a vampire now? Or a unicorn, maybe?” She laughed and hoped to get him off her case. She couldn’t reveal her true nature. ”Or maybe I really am a vampire and I want to teach you a lesson about pretending to be us,” she held up her hands and folded her fingers like vampires did in those old movies. When he backed away, she felt a little hurt. Was he scared of her? ”Hey, it’s okay. I was just playing. You don’t have to be afraid of me. Do I look scary to you?” She smiled carefully at him.
