Still Me...Maybe - Chapter 1
A girl wakes up in a strange house and there is a crazy guy with her...
I woke up this morning and felt different...I don't know what it was, but I liked it. I sat up 'this isn't my room' I thought looking around, it wasn't even my house. I heard footsteps so I lied back down and pretended to be asleep.
"I know you're awake, your heart is racing I can hear it," a young man's voice said, walking closer to me. I felt a tug at the back of my shirt and I was sitting up.
"Open your eyes!" He ordered growling, still holding my shirt. I did as I was told.
"Good girl...Phoebe, isn't it?" He asked smiling. I nodded, scared, but he did the strangest thing... he hugged me. My jaw dropped in shock; I thought he was going to kill me!
"Who are you? What do you want with me?" I asked confused, he stopped hugging me and held me at arm's length.
"I'm AJ, from when you were younger, we were best friends." He smiled excited. I nodded nervously, he seemed crazy I'd never met him before!
"I'm sorry, I don't remember..." he cut me off.
"It'll come back to you eventually," he smiled. The look in his light hazel eyes told me that he was friendly. I flung my short, black ponytail off my shoulder and stood up, I felt woozy so I sat back down.
I'd felt something funny on my neck, so I rubbed it on the left side... little wet holes, I looked at my fingers and I instantly knew why they were wet. It was blood, my blood. I looked at AJ, he was smiling at me. I started blacking out, I was fainting and I didn't know whether it was from blood loss or seeing my own blood... or something else.
When I woke up for the second time, I was in a queen sized bed and AJ was nowhere to be seen so I stood up, I wasn't woozy anymore.
"Feeling better sweetheart?" AJ asked standing behind me. He had been in the doorway when I woke up. I couldn't speak... not because I had nothing to say, but because I literally couldn't say anything.
"..." I opened my mouth. He came over to me and hugged my shoulders.
"I'm sorry baby," he kissed my cheek.
"My boyfriend... Cooper..." I started, he cut me off.
"I'm your boyfriend!" AJ growled suddenly standing up and hovering over me. I cowered back, scared of this new, angry AJ. I finally recognized him; he was the guy from the gas station, the one who had asked me out, the guy who... I'd rejected...
"The gas station... you asked me out... I..." I stopped, realizing why he had taken me hostage.
"Yes, yes! You're beginning to remember," he grinned, his gray eyes glistening.
"Are you gonna kill me?" I asked fearfully backing away into the posts of the bed.
"You're already dead, you're one of us," he said sinisterly. I froze.
"What? I'm one of what?" I stared at him scared out of my wits, AJ grinned.
"A vampire," I then got up and lunged at him furiously.
It took me a few days to get the hang of my new speed, strength and hunger. I got it eventually though, as much as AJ scared me. Sometimes and I hated him without a doubt, I had to admit he was a good teacher at this vamp stuff. I finished learning all the positives and negatives of being a vampire I left AJ behind. I headed towards Michigan, a place where there is a fair bit of crime... not too much though.
"Thanks for everything AJ, but I've gotta go... I have a vampire life to learn... on my own." I showed him half a smile and waved goodbye before beginning the two hour super-human run to Detroit, Michigan.
I checked my phone, there were two messages from my boyfriend Cooper.
"Meet @ noon 4 lunch" and "where r u? I'm getting worried". So I gave him a call
"Hey, Cooper... I know, I left my phone at a friend's place and they couldn't get hold of me... I can't meet up for a while... I can't tell you, yet... I love you too. Always." I hung up and I expected a tear to roll down my cheek, but vampires don't cry.
I arrived at 4:30 pm and it was starting to get dark. The sky was a pinky-reddish color, beautiful.
"I know you're awake, your heart is racing I can hear it," a young man's voice said, walking closer to me. I felt a tug at the back of my shirt and I was sitting up.

"Good girl...Phoebe, isn't it?" He asked smiling. I nodded, scared, but he did the strangest thing... he hugged me. My jaw dropped in shock; I thought he was going to kill me!
"Who are you? What do you want with me?" I asked confused, he stopped hugging me and held me at arm's length.
"I'm AJ, from when you were younger, we were best friends." He smiled excited. I nodded nervously, he seemed crazy I'd never met him before!
