The scaling guitar overloads the song with a sporadic solo. The teens circle-dance around the raging fire, casting long shadows. Head banging madly. Kota swings his hair side to side. Jimmy punches the air to the beat. The gang carousel around the campfire, high on joy.
Liz continues her sensual dance; she beckons Mike with a finger. He stops his drummer impression and follows her command. Liz tugs him closer to make out. The wind gusts her hair. Strains of green swipe across his face. The color is striking against his chocolate skin. She sucks his mouth, switching her neck from side to side.
“HOLY SHIT!!” Jimmy laughs.
Kota holds his beer up for a toast. “To the best night ever.” Their bottles tap together. He gulps his drink, then tosses it. The glass bottle shatters on the ground. Kota imitates the main singer, faking as if he’s holding a microphone. “Feel the magic. I feel it floating in the air. But it’s fear, and you’ll hear it calling you. Beware. Look out!”
Liz ends her spicy make-out session with Mike. Her gaze falls on Kota. The same gentle look they shared returns. No way… is she about to...? Liz clears the distance between them and plants her mouth on his. Her glossy lips are slippery. His gut electrifies, his heart speeds. Kota kisses her back, matching her rough motion. Their breaths tangle. Liz claws her neon green nails through his black hair. Kota’s palms latch to her elbows. He dives into her mouth. Her lip gloss tastes like coconut; he devours the flavor.
Jimmy clears his throat loudly. “Am I included in this lip train?”
Liz gives one last peck to Kota’s plump lips before breaking from the smooch. “Of course.” She trails her hand down his cheek. “I’ll be back.”
Liz struts to Jim. Kota evil-eyes him. “You couldn’t wait, dude?”
“Nope,” Jimmy smirks at Liz, who entraps his mouth with hers. Mike chuckles. He opens a pizza box and chomps on a slice. The music blares on. Kota goes for another beer, still irritated by the interruption. Jim saw we were into it…that was a jerk move.
A gushing noise sounds ahead of him. His tan eyes stare ahead, perplexed. What’s that? Kota listens for it again. It’s gone now. Hmm… it must be a bird or something. He leans to get another beer. The swooshing noise reoccurs. Only it’s at his side. Kota slowly straightens from the crouch.
A surveillance sensation causes the hair on the back of his neck to rise. Swoosh. The noise is behind him now. He turns fast. A blurry figure dashes toward the fire. Fully blacked out. He can’t distinguish what it is… but his instinct warns him of danger. Icy fear floods his body.
“GUYS, WATCH OUT!!” he yells, but his alerting words are too late.
The figure jumps high, soaring abnormally. It lands atop the fire. This catches the gang’s attention. Someone who’s unfazed by burning flames surveys the group. Liz backs away, her legs shaking with fright. Jimmy and Mike are frozen in place. The figure is of a man, but his eyes shine through the shade of night. Rosier than the fire. Kota’s forehead numbs. He’s horrified by the unnatural irises of the being.
The demon darts toward his friends. Its hands bare long talons. The talons slice the necks of Mike and Jimmy. Squirts of crimson splatter the air as a broken water hose would. The two boys drop to the ground. Dead. “AHHH!!!” Liz screams and flees. She doesn’t make it far. The thing sails after her, flying after Liz, as an eagle does its prey.
“NOOO!!!” The creature bites her neck. The chomping sound is grotesque. Her bones crush under the weight of its razor-sharp teeth. “LIZ!!” Kota runs ahead, his heart hammering. “NOO!” He hyperventilates while racing toward her. I must fight it!!
The vampire pulls away a fleshy chunk of Liz’s neck. The outpour of blood spills to the leafy ground, coating it red. Kota halts and exhales all the air from his lungs. His heart ceases to beat due to utter disbelief. The monster swallows the fluid of her neck like a fish does water.
Liz’s eyes go motionless from the pain. They shut off due to shock. The veins of her neck protrude squiggly lines. The vampire groans in pleasure; the sound is throaty and savage. It’s a human… but it’s not. WHAT IS IT??!! Kota is dizzy from lack of oxygen to the brain, so he forcefully inhales.
The vampire menacingly twists its head. Its scarlet eyes burn into his. The thing drops Liz’s body to the ground… she hits it like a ragdoll. Limbs flopping like jelly. NO! NOO! SHE’S NOT MOVING! LIZ!!! 25Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYZcWBCp6U
Lines of blood seep down the predator’s mouth… trickling down its neck. Its skin is pale as a sheet of paper. The immortal man lunges for Kota, gliding the air… a bat out of hell. Claws, razor-sharp teeth, and blonde hair are the last things he see.
