Vampire Roses( chapters 1-8)
15 years, 10 months & 10 days ago
25th Jul 2008 16:39 Chapter 1
Emaline Marie Kelt, a forever thirteen year old vampire, walks around, with violin on shoulder, waiting to find a crowded place to set up. Emaline, in her little black satin Victorians dress, obviously didn't fit in but she didn't care. Finally, she finds a spot. She took out her violin and played Beethoven???s Violin Romance-all parts- as if it were ???Mary had a little lamb???. People started to crowd around her as they heard her play. Then, she spotted the young soul she wanted. So, as she slowed to a stop, as everyone fell fast asleep and she picked up the little 6 year old child and brought him to an alley and did what she had to. After, she just minded her business and walked to find another place to play.
Emaline continues to look around as she spots a dark alley with senseless teenagers. So, knowing they will try to hit on her, she puts down her violin and goes to them to hypnotize them with her mysterious beauty. 'Hey!??? a boy looking about 16 says to Emaline. She says nothing while she gets them into a deep sleep and takes them. She just walks off, minding the night slowly turning to day. She starts to find a place she can stay for the day. She then sees a library and decides to 'camp out' in there.
While Emaline waited until night to rise, she thinks back.
About 365 years ago, she was just a 13 year old human walking around town in Paris. Many people thought she was an odd, slightly evil child because she had pin straight pitch black hair and blood red eyes the showed the best at night. And, just she does now, always loved to play complex masterpieces on her violin. She very rarely came out during the day unless she had to get something from the mart around the corner. While she was out sitting on the Eiffel Tower one night, she started to hear odd rustling noises. So, she made her way down the ladder and searched around. Her being 4 foot 11 inches helped a lot with sneaking around. She turned a corner into a dark alley and saw a nice looking man. She started towards him lost in his eyes that were shining under the red moonlight. As she got closer, he jumped towards her and bit her shoulder has she tried to run. She tried to scream but it just wouldn???t come out. As he mysteriously left, she felt a sharp pain where he had bit her. Then, as she made her way back to the tower, she fell down and blacked out.
The next morning, she awoke in a strange place. She got up and looked around.??? This is definitely not Paris anymore.??? She said softly to herself. She thought of the??? Wizard of Oz??? movie she recently watched with her mother. ???Mother!??? she screamed softly thinking of where she is or what she???s thinking. She started to run all over the place until she caught a glimpse of herself in a nearby pond. She went back and stared at herself, feeling her face as if she were someone completely different. Moments later, she smelled something that seems irresistible. Then, the same man from last night appeared behind her. ???What the heck did you do to me?!??? she screamed. ???Tell me now!??? She stared at him, angrier than ever before. ???Simple,??? he said. ???I killed you.??? She tried to think about that. What the heck is that supposed to mean? I???m right here! She thought. She then decided to ask him but, when she turned towards him, he was gone. She didn???t think about that much anymore after that. She decided to detour the mysterious place she was in and look for the man that, as he said, 'killed her'.
???Hey!??? Obviously a lady was talking to her and interrupting her flashback. ???Do you have a library card???? she said. ???No.??? Emaline said in her mysterious soft, yet singing voice. ???Well, get out of here!??? the librarian said. Emaline didn???t pay too much attention to the librarian. She just lurked around nonchalantly during the time she was there. Then, the librarian was packing up. ???Little girl, it???s time for you to go home. It???s getting late and your mother is probably worried about you.??? She said. Emaline said nothing and left knowing it was late. Time to strike again, she thought as she made her way out the door.
Chapter 2-
Emaline was making her way through New York as she continued her search for the man who supposedly ???killed??? her. To her, that was the beginning of a new life of eternity. She loved the fact that she could live forever and watch the world grow as she stayed the same way she was 364 years ago. As she started towards the theatre, she started to think of what he looked like and tried to remember the last place he was seen. What is his name? She thought. Where is he? Does he know I???m looking for him? These questions have been asked many times within the hours she searched. She then realized that she bumped into someone. ???Watch it!??? the person said. Emaline took a good look at her. ???Sorry.??? Emaline said softly. ???No worries. It was just an accident. I???m Arden.??? She reached out her hand to shake. Emaline just stared for a few seconds and slowly shook Arden???s hand. Emaline has never really had any friends so this was new for her. Arden seemed about 11 or 12 years of age. She had pale skin, just like Emaline but, burgundy red hair. She had big brown eyes that popped out as she smiled widely. She was an unusually happy girl. She seemed to be a little bit taller than Emaline, maybe around 5 feet tall or so. ???Emaline,??? Emaline said quietly.??? I???m Emaline.??? ???Very nice to meet you, Emaline!??? Arden said happily with her semi squeaky voice. Her hair was shoulder length and had a few ribbons in it. Emaline thought it was weird especially for the fact that she was from the seventeen hundreds; Beethoven???s time of life and music. She adored Beethoven and after he died she wanted to carry on his music for eternity. ???Why are you so quite???? Arden asked Emaline. ???I just am.??? She replied. ???So, have long have you been one like me???? Emaline said cautiously. ???Well, about 50 years. You???? Arden said. ???364 years. Too much has changed but I???m trying to find him. Who changed you???? Arden looked at her like she was a lunatic. ???Who???s ???him??????? Arden asked.
Emaline told her about how everything happened 364 years ago and after about 2 hours, she finally finished. ???Wow.??? Arden said surprised. Emaline looked at her and asked the question Arden never answered.??? Who changed you???? ???Well, It was a child whose name was, umm, Kathryn. She went crazy and bit me and then she got into a fight with a pack of wolves and killed herself. She hated being what she was and found someone, which would be me that actually wanted to be this. So, I volunteered. It was painful seeing her die though. That was that. The end!??? she said a little bit too cheerful. Emaline didn???t like the random bursts of cheerfulness but she???ll have to live with it. Emaline soon stopped at a random spot and played. Arden tried talking to her but soon noticed Emaline didn???t care. She wondered away from the spot. Soon after Emaline played her masterpiece, Arden came. ???Want a snack, Arden???? Emaline said smiling with a body in her arms. ???No thanks. I- Is that a mall?!??? Who cares about the stupid mall? She thought. Emaline pulled her away from the window of JC Penny???s and dragged her away. ???Hey! Do you mind???? Arden screamed. ???Not at all.??? Emaline said. Arden got up and followed Emaline. ???Where are we going???? Arden asked. ???Somewhere.??? Emaline said. Arden stopped. ???Are you coming or not???? Emaline asked her a little angered. Arden just stood there and then followed her. Emaline was already tired of her.
After a while, the sun was peeking out the sky. ???It???s starting to get light!??? Arden screamed and hid in a shadow. ???Don???t worry. Just follow me.??? Emaline said aggravated. They soon found an abandon home and stayed in there. What was I thinking letting her come? She thought to herself. Arden was playing with the dolls as if they belonged to her and Emaline stared at her wondering is that what I missed not being a child or having any friends? She spent the entire day thinking about everything she missed as a child because she refused to have friends or play with classmates or even doing things with her mother.
Chapter 3-
Emaline was staring into the eyes of a killer. He had dark red- brown hair and green ???yellow eyes. He seemed about 6???5??? with pale skin and wore a white shirt with a leather jacket and jeans. He stared at her with his evil eyes and pounced at her; Arden screaming.
???Emaline! Time for dinner!??? Someone called out to her. Emaline must have been 9 at the time. She must be dreaming. She had been playing dolls with a little girl. She was laughing and playing; both of which she rarely or never did. ???Coming Mother! Can Jenny eat with us???? Who???s Jenny? ???Sure Emaline! Just hurry! I made beef stroganoff!??? Her mother called back. ???Yay!??? the girls chanted; a word Emaline has never used as far as she can remember. ???Emaline, please set th-??? ??? Emaline! Wake up!??? Arden screamed. I must have dozed off for some reason. Huh. Emaline thought to herself. ???Emaline! Oh! You???re awake! It???s night!??? Arden said, for some reason, cheerfully. Emaline just got up and walked out the door, saying nothing. Emaline could not get her mind off of that dream. If I were like that, would I be here? Doing this? Now? She thought. Or would I be dead with mother? How old would I have been at death? Then she started to think of the fist dream. Was that the man? Or-? It can???t be, can it? Does he still look like that? Why was he jumping to me and Arden? Is that-
???Emaline, are you okay???? Arden looked worried. ???What did you dream about???? ???Well, I dreamt I was nine and I was playing with a girl named Jenny, whom of which I don???t recall meeting. Mo-???Arden interrupted. ???Aww. Was Jenny nice? Was you mother there, Emaline???? ???Will you just stop that!? ??? Emaline screamed yet ever so softly. ???Stop what???? Arden looked confused. ??? Just- just let me continue, without any interruptions! Is that so much to ask for?!??? Emaline said, attempting to calm down. ???As I was saying, Mother was calling me for dinner and she mentioned she made bee stroganoff, which was my favourite dish. Jenny and I cheered. I asked her if Jenny could eat with us and she approved. As she asked me to set the table, you woke me up.??? Emaline looked at her. ???Sorry, Ema.??? Arden said as she dipped her head down. Ema? ???Well, before that dream, I dreamt about a mysterious man. He was one of us with reddish- brown hair and glowing evil green- yellow eyes. You were screaming as he pounced toward us. Then, the dream about Mother and Jenny came.??? Emaline explained as they were walking around the streets. ???Wow. Maybe your dream was trying to tell you something.??? Ya??? think!? Emaline thought. ???Maybe. While we try to figure it out, let???s get a bite to eat.??? ???Okay! How about over there???? Arden pointed to an overly crowded spot by the Ferry Boat ticket stand. Perfect. Emaline smiled. They made their way to the spot and Arden went her separate ways, probably to the mall, as Emaline unpacked her violin.
This ought to be fun. Emaline thought as she started to play Fur Elise, written by her life long hero, Beethoven, and everyone near fell asleep calmly. What she didn???t know is that a seven year old child mad his way around a corner while she was playing.
Emaline soon slowed to a stop and Arden came. ???Yay! Food!??? Arden cheered, wearing a ridiculous sparkly hot pink shirt and bell bottom jeans with pointy high heeled boots. I???m not even gonna ask. Emaline thought. Emaline noticed the hot pink ribbon in Arden???s side ponytail. She ignored. As Emaline and Arden were ???eating???, the little boy watched. ???Mommy...??? he said in a soft whimpering voice as he watched Emaline feed on her. ???Wait!??? Emaline stopped, as she sensed something. The boy gasped and flattened on the wall. ???What???? Arden asked. ???Nothing. It was probably just a bird.??? He let out a breathe of relief. They started again, unaware of the child.
Soon enough, they left the premises. The little boy left his corner and hugged his bloody, dead mother; sobbing. He tried to inform people around but, no one would listen.
Emaline and Arden started hearing the boy talk about them, especially Emaline. ???Wait, Arden. I???ll be right back.??? Emaline said softly as she went towards the boy. Right before she got him, he turned around and screamed, ???You! You ate my mommy!???? ???Yes. So???? Emaline said calmly but, impatient. ???Why???? he sobbed. Emaline didn???t answer. Instead, she felt an unusual feeling in her gut. Guilt. She took him in her arms and comforted him. ???I???m sorry.??? She apologized for the first time; ever.
Chapter 4-
???Hey! Emaline! Let???s-???Arden looked at Emaline cradling the boy. She bent down next to them and started playing with his hair, his soft sandy blonde hair. ???Who is this little boy, Emaline???? Emaline shrugged her shoulders. ???Chris. My name is Chris and she ate my mommy.??? He said pointing at Emaline. Arden looked at her mad. ???Why???? Arden whispered, arguing with Emaline. ???How the heck should I have known?!??? she argued back, still whispering. They were going at it for a few minutes then, Arden said, ???Then should we change him? Or???? ???No! He may not want that!??? Emaline whispered back. ???Want what???? Chris said as he looked up from Emaline???s shoulder. Emaline and Arden looked at each other then at Chris. ???Well, Chris,??? Arden said. ???We are, what you might call, vampires. We come out at night and feed on people. We are very sorry about your mother and we would like to know,??? Arden continued. ???If you would like to become one of us.??? Emaline beat her to the punch. Chris looked at them and thought. ???Will I ever die???? he asked. ???No. Not as far as I know.??? Emaline said. ???Then, I don???t know hat to do.??? He said as he cried into Emaline shoulder. ???Take you time.??? Arden said as she rubbed his back.
As the sun woke up, Chris fell asleep. ???Oh!??? Emaline said softly. ???We have to get somewhere!??? ???Where???? Arden whispered. ???How about over there???? Arden said pointing at a dark alley by a bunch of buildings. ???That will have to do for now.??? Emaline said as they walked to it. After a while, Chris woke up. ???I decided,??? he started. Emaline and Arden looked at him. ???I don???t want to be you guys. I want to grow up. But I do want to stay with you guys. Even though you ate my mom, that is what she would want, someone nice to take care of me.??? ???Are you sure, Chris???? Arden asked. ???Yes. I am.??? ???Okay, but don???t get mad when we have to eat.??? Emaline added. ???What will I eat???? Chris looked at them and then up at the sky. Great. I have to take care of someone and I have no clue how. ???I know!??? Arden sang. ???I go to the mall every night to get clothes! You can come with me while Ema plays!??? Why does she keep calling me that? Well, at least she finally had a good idea. I give her props. ???Okay! I never did learned you names.??? Chris said. ???I???m Arden and she is Emaline. If you want fun, stay with me! If you want boring, well, go with her.??? Arden giggled. ???FUN!??? Chris cheered.
It was night now and time for the usual for Emaline. Chris and Arden went to the mall and Emaline played. When everything was finished with Emaline, Arden and Chris returned laughing. Oh, yes. Fun. Emaline thought sarcastically. ???Look! I got a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles turtle!??? He held up his toy. ???Yeah! We went to McDonalds. It was great!??? Arden was smiling. ???I have a toy, too! ??? Great. Two of them. That???s just what we need. ???Good for you. Maybe we can all play.??? Emaline said sarcastically ???But you don???t have a toy.??? Chris said. ???Exactly.??? Emaline said. ???Be quiet! We are playing with our toys!??? Arden said. Snippy today, huh?
She watched them play and thought back at that dream. Maybe if I go to sleep, I can see more. ???I???m going to sleep.??? Emaline said knowing she wasn???t heard. As she made her way asleep, she could hear them playing with their dolls. She closed her eyes to dram away.
Hours later, she woke up. Nothing. Great. Guess I tried to hard or something. She looked around and saw Chris sleeping. Great. Almost day. ???Arden, we need to get somewhere, quick.??? ???Okay, let me get Chris.??? She picked him up and they headed to an abandon restaurant ???This will be good.??? Emaline whispered. They got in the building and put Chris down on a booth. Arden played with the dolls while Emaline thought more of her mother and this Jenny.
Chapter 5-
In Emaline???s dream, Jenny was a brunette with long, wavy hair and bright blue eyes. She had a voice like a typical nine year old girl and was abut the same height as Emaline. Jenny seemed nice and seemed to be like she could be Emaline???s sister. Emaline wished this dream could be real so none of this would have happened: meeting Arden, these dreams, Chris??? mother, Chris. Everything just didn???t fit.
???So what???s today, Chris???? Emaline looked up. Arden must have been asking Chris different questions to get caught up. ???June 17, 2003.??? He answered. Ah, 2003. It???s been a while. ???2003? It has officially been 50 years since ???death???. Poor Kathryn.??? Arden said. ???Who???s Kathryn???? Poor Chris. He???s too young to understand. ???Don???t worry about it. I???ll tell you when you get older. When is your birthday, Chris???? Arden asked. Surprised she hadn???t asked that yet. ???In July 3. I will be this many!??? he said as he held up 8 fingers. The feeling came back to Emaline. Stupid guilt. Go away! What she didn???t know was that she was punching and screaming at her stomach. ???What the heck are you doing, Emaline???? Arden asked. ???Yeah, what are you doing???? Chris followed. She looked at herself and realized that she wasn???t fighting in her mind. She immediately stopped and straightened her hands at her side. ???Nothing. Just-??? She paused, just as confused as they were. ???Fighting of my thoughts. They get on my nerves.??? She said. ???In your stomach???? Arden asked. ???Uhh??? Yes. In my stomach. It looks like the battle is over. I won!??? She pretended to cheer. ???Looks more to me that her stomach won.??? Arden giggled into Chris??? ear. ???Yeah. She must have one stomach ache.??? Chris giggled back. They bent back laughing like crazy. ???At least I don???t do that.??? Emaline tried to fight back. ???Yeah, but no one does that!??? They were getting on Emaline???s nerves big time. ???That???s it!??? She screamed. She picked up a chair and threw it to the window, breaking it. Arden and Chris immediately stopped laughing. ???Sorry Emaline.??? The y both said at once. ???That???s okay. I just fight more battles than you think. It???s been 364 long, painful years and I don???t want anyone to mess it up. I???m trying to figure out too much at one time. Ju-just please, if I do that again, please don???t laugh or anything. I???m fighting this mental war of eternity.??? Emaline seemed exhausted. She put her hand on her head to think. What should I do now? This is just too much. I just want to get all of this over with and soon. This is getting annoying. Soon enough, Chris left the area to get some fresh air. Arden came towards Emaline. ???You have to stop thinking so much. It???s tearing you down.??? Eureka. She???s finally got it. ???You know, I just can???t help it. I have never in my 364 years, plus the 13 I was actually human, have I ever had to deal with such anger!??? ???Honey, it???s called stress. We all get it once in a while. You just have to find your own way to relax. I play with Chris and go shopping to relax. But that???s just me.??? Arden said. ???You know what kept me from this stress? Not being with people. It was great not having to take care of anything else, feeling all these feelings I have never felt and just now starting to feel them because of you two! It???s just-??? Emaline paused. ???Just what, Ema???? Arden was a bit sad. ???Just not anything I can handle. I can???t do this Arden. I need to be alone.??? Emaline got up. Why does she keep calling me Ema?! It???s Emaline! Grr! Stupid stress! Stupid guilt! Uhh! She took a deep breathe and walked out of the room into the storage room. Finally. Some peace and quiet.
After a few minutes, Chris came back inside. ???The joy of being outside is fun!??? he said as he took a deep breathe of distress. Arden was lying on her knees and looked like she was about to cry. ???What???s wrong, Arden???? Chris asked. Arden looked up at him. ???It???s twilight. Let???s go.??? She said glumly. ???What about Emaline???? He asked with his angelic voice. ???Don???t worry about her. She wants to be alone.??? They slowly left the building. Moments later, Emaline went exploring for the man that ???killed??? her 364 years ago.
Chapter 6-
Where is he? I wonder how Chris is taking me leaving for a while. Is Arden mad at me or? ???Why are they on my mind???? She said quietly to herself. She then saw a man that looked mysterious. She looked back towards the restaurant then looked back at the man. ???Where???d he go???? she said softly. ???You mean me???? It???s him! She turned towards him. ???I knew you would come looking for me, Emaline. I just can???t believe it took this long for you to find me. You really are something.??? He said. ???What is your name???? Emaline was creaming inside but she knew what she had to do. ???Lawrence.??? He said. ???Why did you, what you say, kill me?!??? She screamed at Lawrence. ???Oh, so you think just because you found me I???m just going to answer all your questions? Think again, missy.??? Then, he just disappeared right in front of Emaline???s eyes. What the?
She started to walk towards the town square and then she heard someone. But it wasn???t in the distant streets or in the alleys or anything. It was in her mind! Emaline, there???s no way of escaping now. I took your human life away years ago and now I will take all existence away from you for good. It was Lawrence. She tried to fight back. Why didn???t you just do that back there? He took a pause. Emaline, now that I???m in your head, I know your inner thoughts and your worst weaknesses. There???s no turning back. There???s no getting away. Emaline stopped in the middle of the street. She was frozen with fear; another emotion she hasn???t used since the 1600???s. Why are you doing this, Lawrence? Why? Tell me what I want to know. I can do remarkable things. Se paused waiting for a reply. Nothing. Is he gone? Nothing happened. She felt a little relieved.
After a while, she found Arden and Chris. ???Emaline! I missed you!?????? Chris yelled as he ran to hug her. She tried not to think much so he wouldn???t interfere. ???You missed me? That???s very nice.??? She hugged him back. ???Arden, I???m sorry but, I need to talk to you bout the man. His name is Lawrence.??? She whispered softly. ???Umm, Chris, why don???t you go play with the turtles? I???ll be there in a few minutes.??? Arden said. ???I will, too.??? Emaline spoke out suddenly. ???You???? they chuckled. ???Yes. That???s kind of what I need to talk to you about.??? ???You? Playing with toys???? Arden clearly didn???t get squat. ???No, Arden. Why I???m speaking out of the ordinary. Everything I say for the next while has no thought into it. Listen. I ran into that man and his name is Lawrence. He is raiding my mind and it has disabled me to think privately so I need your help keeping me from thinking. Yes that means you can take me to the mall or what ever you???d like. Just keep me laughing and smiling and busy.
Please? I am begging you.??? Emaline looked serious. ???Well, I???ll have to think about it. Okay!??? Arden hugged her. ???You???ll be completely different.??? ???Just don???t change me, just keep my mind off of things and reality.??? ???Okay. That I can do. First, we need to play with Chris. This is gonna be fun??? Arden was cheering like she was planning a surprise party. ???Okay. Let???s go!??? Emaline was in for so much more than she expected.
Chapter 7-
???Emaline! Let???s play Cops and Robbers!??? Chris took her hand and ran. ???Emaline! Let???s go to the mall!??? Arden took her other hand and ran the opposite way. ???Emaline! ???Emaline!??? Emali-??? ???ENOUGH!??? Emaline screamed. ???Okay! What I meant by ???keep me busy??? was not play Tug-A-War with my arms!??? Chris and Arden giggled and eyed each other. ???What I meant was- AHHOW!??? They tugged at her. ???Okay, then. I guess this is ke-EEP-ing me busy! OW! Not so hard!??? Emaline was actually laughing while in pain, but it was the fun kind of pain. She felt different and she acting just like she was in her dream; laughing and playing and actually having fun for the first time in her life and she liked it.
After ???Tug-A-War with Emaline???s arms, they dragged her to the park and played until it was almost day. ???Let???s go to the mall and spend the day there!??? Arden sounded overly excited. ???Hmm. I???ll have to think abo- Okay!??? Emaline was actually excited to go to the mall. She felt something in the pit of her stomach she hasn???t felt in the last 364 years; joy.
???You know,??? Emaline started as they ate their Whoppers in McDonald???s. ???What???? Arden and Chris both said with a mouth full of burger. ???I???m glad I met you two. You guys are actually giving something to hope for; fun.??? ???Emaline smiled and took a bite of her burger. ???Aww,??? Arden patted her back jokingly. ???That???s very sweet. Okay!??? Arden said as she threw down her burger. ???Time for JC Penny???s! Let???s get rid of that raggedy dress of yours and give you a taste of 2003!??? Arden squealed. Emaline didn???t look so happy anymore. ???Mother made this for me on my 13th birthday.. It stays.??? ???Oh, sorry.??? Arden said.
???Well, how about the video game store?!??? Arden and Emaline looked confused. ???Come on! You???ll love it!??? Chris grabbed their arms and ran them to the store.
A while later, Arden went to JC Penny???s while Chris was teaching Emaline to use the controller. ???So, this green button, or A button,??? Emaline put her finger on the button. ???Makes the person on the screen,??? She pressed it. ???Jump! Oh! Nice!??? She continuously pressed the button. ???Ha oh! I love this! Jump little person, jump!??? Emaline eventually learned all the controls for the game.
Chapter 8-
???Wow, Emaline!??? Chris started. ???You sure can make a person jump a lot!??? He started to laugh. ???Yes. That was quite fun, actually. Where???s Ar-???Emaline paused as Arden walked around the corner wearing a thigh-high spaghetti strapped low-cut tan leather dress and knee high pointy heeled black and shiny boots. ???So, what do you think???? Arden asked as she twirled like she was a model. Emaline looked at her as her hair flowed around her shoulders. ???Where are you going all dressed up???? Chris said. ???No where! I just wanted to try something different!??? Arden looked at herself. ???It???s defiantly something different!??? Emaline sighed.
After a while, they started walking around the store. ???I???m getting tired.??? Chris yawned as he fell into Emaline???s arms and fell asleep. ???Oomph!??? She said as Chris fell. ???Oh! Okay! Yes, we better get somewhere!??? Emaline said as she lifted Chris up. ???Good idea.??? They looked around. ???How about there???? Arden pointed at a closed down department store.???Good for now.??? Emaline whispered.
???I???m going to sleep.??? Emaline protested as Arden played with Happy Meal toys. ???Okay! Sleep well!??? Arden cheered. ???I???ll try.??? Emaline kidded. She smiled as she fell fast asleep.
???Where are we going, Emaline???? Arden asked. ???Anywhere at this point.???Emaline called back to her. Where???s Chris? Emaline paused as Arden gasped. ???Emaline. We meet again.??? Lawrence! She let out a silent scream as Arden???s scream faded away.
Emaline soon woke up and they did their usual. She started through Town Square with Arden and Chris as they all split up for a while. Emaline played and at the corner of her eye, she saw another one of her kind. She was lurking around the corner not feasting on human blood but, holding a rare steak in her hands. Emaline looked confused but, continued to play. As she slowed to a stop, she saw the girl come toward her. She looked strangely familiar. ???Wait!??? Emaline thought out loud. ???Brown, wavy hair! Bright blue eyes! Is that-???? ???Hi! I???m Jenny!??? She greeted with a mildly squeaky voice and her hand out to shake. ???I knew it!??? Emaline cheered and pointed at her. ???Nice to meet you, too???? Jenny giggled. ???Oh! I???m sorry, Jenny! I???m Emaline. Not to sound strange but, have we met???? Emaline said. ???Emaline? Oh! Emaline! The one who disappeared mysteriously! Yeah! We???ve met! You and your mother we???re my neighbors!??? She smiled, her eyes squinting as her big, bright smile lit up her face. ???Really???? ???Yes! Your mother was so worried that you weren???t found that after 6 months, she died of depression. I used to try to come over and play ninja dolls with you but, you were never home.??? Jenny told her. ???So,??? Jenny started. ???How did you end up like this???? Emaline looked at her and sighed.
???I was on the Eiffel Tower during the night, that was my thinking spot then, and I heard noises ijn the bushes below.??? Emaline concentrated at the sky. ???So, I went to see what it was. I somehow ended up walking to an alley and I looked and saw nothing. When I turned around, I saw this man, whom I???ve learned his name is Lawrence. He looked at me and then,??? She jerked her head toward the ground. ???Blackout.??? Emaline looked at Jenny who seemed into the story. ???Go on.??? She signaled. ???Well, I woke up the next morning in a totally different place. I remember thinking that it wasn???t Paris anymore. I walked around and looked at myself in a pond. I turned around and saw Lawrence. I asked him what he did to me and he said he killed me. That happened and since then, I???ve wanted to to find him and get revenge.??? Emaline finished. ???So, what about you? Jenny gave her a wide-eyed look and paused.
