7. MAD WORLD
I
N MY HUMAN LIFE I HAD
FEARED travel by air. I preferred to stay grounded. I also feared travel by
sea. So tomorrow is the first time I get on a plane and travel to another
country. I know if anything happens, such as the plane crashing that I will get
out unscathed. The fun in being a vampire is the feeling of invincibility. I
love to run; the freedom it allows me gives me this electrifying thrill. I
discovered that I can run to Florida in minutes and the same to Texas. I would
rather run and swim my way to London, but Jack won’t hear of it. According to
him, we have to be civilized and take the plane just like normal people do.
Jack has chartered a private jet to fly us out. We
both decided that I am not ready to be in the air with a bunch of innocent
humans. No matter how controlled I felt my hunger was, I still posed a serious
risk to them
To be honest, I actually do not prefer human blood
and no matter what or who I hunt, it pains me. I actually tried the alternative
and did not succeed. Feeding on animals does little to satiate the burning
hunger inside. Animal blood makes me hunt more. It takes a lot of animal blood
in order to be able to get a day or two in between feedings.
The pain of taking a life, regardless of how evil
the person is pains me. I think this is why I prefer not to hunt. I seek to
maintain my humanity, but it is near impossible to avoid having to feed on
human blood. I plan to hunt one last time tonight in order to be able to
survive the trip to England. I could feel the pain from my hunger I needed to end
the torture. I had a special hunt planned out for this night. The last man who
destroyed my life. This man is the last of them.
Jack and I prepare for the hunt. I dress in the
usual jeans, red-shirt and black leather knee high boots. I had trouble wearing
heals in my previous life, now I am swift and as graceful as a ballerina. I met
jack at the bottom of the stairs. He looks gorgeous in his grey suit. With the
lilac button up shirt and matching tie. I was afraid to breath. If my heart
still beat, I was sure he would hear it. I was glad that it no longer did. I
was glad I no longer blushed. It was as though I was seeing him for the first
time. I quickly looked away from him. I look toward the mirror on the mantel.
I heard him draw in his breath. He blocked me out
of his mind and for that I was grateful for that one act. I could only wonder if
he was sensing my emotion. I thought back to the plan. We would separate the
one from the crowd. Thanks to Jack’s intel we knew where to look, Jack knew the
plan. One last man and he would be mine. I had waited for this one. He was a
coward of a man. He had been in hiding, but the idea of hiding from an unknown entity
clouded his judgement. That and he was feigning for another kill.
“Rape and murder were his drug of choice. I gave
up wondering why he could not be like every other normal human being. Come to
think of it. I don’t think the idea of normal exists in my world anymore. In
the beginning I thought I was in hell. Then I thought I was crazy but I have
come to accept that there is truth behind every myth. The only thing you had to
do was seek out the truth, if you are brave enough. Or you could just tempt
fate, I thought sarcastically. I smiled to myself.
“You look like a cat that ate the canary,” he
stated.
“Just glad it is almost over,” I tell him.
“Are we ready to go,” he asks.
“Yes!” I exclaim, confident in the one word. To me
that one word meant more to me in this one moment. That one word would bring me
peace and I hope grant me some type of closure. It was a shame that the
monsters who destroyed me would get away with my murder. I would have enjoyed
seeing them in prison but since technically there is no body and no proof of my
death they would have continued to walk the streets of New Orleans free as a
jaybird. Death was just too easy for them. They
