Chapter 1: Running Away

Chapter 1: Running Away

Nancy couldn’t believe it. Her parents are fighting again about her strange illness that she has. Nancy thinks to herself, why do they fight all the time? She wonders. I hate it when they do this. They probably won’t care if I am gone or not. She sneaks out of her room and watches them.

“Why are you saying that about her” Yells Cindy to Henry. “We should take care of her if she has a strange illness. You never throw away humans with cancer!” Henry is in shock what his wife said to him. “The doctors can’t find a cure for that illness she has. I don’t want to bury a child of mine.”

Cindy just shakes her head in anger. As Nancy watches this she wants to throw up. But she doesn’t and goes back to her room. As in her room is thinking what to do. I will not die. I will run away from them and wont see them again. I wont be a bother to them from this illness. If I die that is fine. I will survive at other places than here. I hate when they are fighting.

Nancy goes a packs some clothes and sneaks out of the window. She has no idea where is going but not near her parents any more. As she walk is wondering if she did the right thing of running away. No, she hated to hear them fighting, arguing and all that stuff.

About mile away she hears someone one calling for help. She goes over and sees some humans fighting a creature. She thinks to herself what is the world coming too. She will help this creature out. So she ran as fast as she can to the creature.

“What are you trying to do?” Asks Nancy to one of the man. The man replies,” He is a monster and he wants to kill everybody here.” Nancy looks at the creature, for the first time she relies the creature is a human but as a vampire. “ How do you like if I come after you with a stick and the others stuff you are holding? Are you kids or grown ups?”

The man replies “ You are not a grown up so why should we listen to you?” Nancy grabs the first club and uses all her strength to swing the club at the first man missing inches away from his face. The people decided to leave them alone and the man said, “ Fine you made your point. Just be careful of him.” Nancy watches them leave. She just shakes her head.

Nancy goes to the vampire and asks, “ Are you alright?” The Vampire replies, “Yes thanks to you. They are total wrong. I am a gentle vampire that won’t hurt no body.” Nancy can believe what he said. “My Name is Nancy.” Said Nancy.

“My name is Jimmy. What brings here in this bad part of town Nancy?” said Jimmy.Nancy answers, “ My parents are fighting over me cause of a strange illness I have. I am sick and tired of them fighting all the time.”

Jimmy just shakes his head in disappointment what Nancy had said. “Come you will live with me if want too. It is up to you.” Said Jimmy. Nancy couldn’t believe this she has found a friend and wants to protect her. “Sure, I haven’t given a big thought where I was going to stay.” Replies Nancy.

Jimmy notices Nancy getting tired so they start to walk to his place in the forest. “You can have the bed Nancy. I hardly uses it now.” Nancy just nods and climbs into bed. “ Thanks Jimmy. I do aspirate this.” Says Nancy. Jimmy just smiles and starting to cook supper for both of them. When he is done he goes and gets Nancy. He notices Nancy has fallen asleep. So he pulls the covers on Nancy.

(Next Morning.)

Nancy awakes up and wonders where she is. Then she remembers what happen last night. She looks for Jimmy and sees him reading a book in daylight. “ I thought vampires suppose to sleep in the daylight?” asks Nancy puzzled. Jimmy laughs and replies, “ Some how we can be in daylight. We need to be more careful from the sun.”

“I find vampires are very interesting. I have read about them in books. I thought they were made up.” Says Nancy. Jimmy answers, “ No we are real but some are like to hide in the public. You probably figure that out from last night.” Nancy remembers what she did and asks “Is it neat to be a vampire?”

“There is some advance and disadvance to be a vampire.” Says Jimmy. Nancy still wants to learn more about vampires. “Do you have any books about vampires?” Asks Nancy.Jimmy nods his head yes and hands Nancy some volumes of books. Nancy takes the books and starts to read them. About two hours of reading she has made her mind up, but she has a question she wants to be answered.

“Are you able to turn other people into vampires?” Asks Nancy. Jimmy is shocked to here this and replies “Yes. I can. But I don’t like too I am not a killer. I am gentle soul that I like to be.” Replies Jimmy.

Nancy looks at Jimmy and agrees as she remembers that he didn’t try to fight the people off. “I could tell that from last night. Do you think it will cure this strange illness I have?”Jimmy stops and thinks. So Nancy continues “The doctors have said I wont live another year they kept saying that to me every time I go to them. I am sick and tired of them saying the same thing over and over again.” Jimmy listens to this and asks “ Are you willing to go thru the pain? Once I start I can’t stop. You will lose conciseness as well.”

Nancy thinks what Jimmy had said. It will better than this illness she has. She has no idea if she will live another day or two months. “Yes, it will be better than this illness I have.”

(Later at nighttime)

Jimmy can believe that and replies “ Are you 100% sure?” Nancy just nods her head yes. “OK. Please stand over here in front of me.” Said Jimmy. Nancy does what he said, and Jimmy starts to bite her. Nancy squeals in pain and then loses conciseness. Jimmy catches her and puts her back on the bed. Jimmy watches her to makes sure she is all right. A few minutes later Nancy opens her eyes.

Jimmy is pleased that it worked. “ Try to stand up.” Nancy stands up and finds she can stand stronger than before. “I feel like I never had that illness.” Says Nancy. Jimmy agrees and replies, “ Why don’t you take a walk and take some fresh air. I will be here.”
Nancy agrees what Jimmy had said and leaves. She heads out and finds a lake. She decided to take a swim for a while to freshen up. About two hours later she returns to the cave and calls out to Jimmy. “Jimmy sorry for taking so long I found a lake and decided to swim for bit.” She got no answer. She thought that is strange he said he was going to be here when I came back.
She noticed some footprints on the ground and decided to follow them. She was shocked to see the same men that she chased away from Jimmy from the night before. She decided to attack them and see how mad she can. After a few minutes fighting (it felt like it was more.) The men ran away never to seen again. Nancy kneels beside Jimmy, but she was too late. There was a stick in his heart and the smell of garlic near by. Jimmy was gone killed by those men. So Nancy decided to dig a hole and burry Jimmy in an unmarked grave that she only know the location. She vows to him she will not harm a soul unless men attack her. Nancy decides not to stay in the same place where Jimmy had made his home.

Nancy leaves and doesn’t come back. She has survived the transformation to become a vampire. Cured that illness and Going to keep living her life the way she wants. She keeps busy helping homeless people around the city. Not showing them that she is a vampire. She doesn’t want to end up like Jimmy. Nancy decided to call the police with a tip about those men.

Few days later the police has found the men and charged them with murder. Nancy has found their jail cell and decided to scare them for the last time. “Do you remember me?” asks Nancy to the men. The men turn around and find another vampire there. “Yes I was the one who chased away from that vampire that night. You are probably wondering why I look like this?”
The men couldn’t speak cause of the shock. So Nancy continues one “ You killed a kind soul that wouldn’t bite any one. I asked him to bite me cause of an illness I had. Now you are going to rot in the cell for what you did.” Said Nancy as she leaves. The men kept this from the police they didn’t want to get into more trouble.

Nancy leaves the jailhouse with out turning back. She goes into the forest to Jimmy grave and prays that he is happy where he is now. After is done she returns home not her parent’s home. Her own home that she found and worked on.
