"You're a fucking vampire."

Gerard's words kept running around my head. How the hell had he figured it all out? Too smart for his own good. I handed my work in and sat doodling in my book. I glanced at Gerard to find him frowning at me. I swallowed lightly. The bell rang and I jumped up, shoving my things in my bag. I rushed to the toilet. I threw up hard. I hacked up the blood I'd drank before school and whined.

"Frank?"

I smelt Gerard before I heard him. Cigarettes, alcohol, something that was definitely Gerard. I bit my lip.

"Hm?"

"Are you throwing up?"

"Yea. Bad stomach."

"I'll go get the nurse."

He left and I stared at the blood. My body could only take certain types of blood. O negative obviously wasn't one of them. I flushed the toilet and whined. I needed to feed. I ran out the cubical and climbed out the window.

------------------------

I rushed into the forest that was near the school. I could drink animal blood. I sniffed the air and looked for something. I couldn't find anything. I felt tears prick up and I sobbed. I called my Father.

"Frank?"

"Daddy! I need help!"

"What? Why?"

"I drank O negative this morning. It didn't agree. I can't find any animals."

"Where are you?"

"The woods near my school."

"I'm on my way."

He hung up and I fell to my knees sobbing.

"Awww. The vampire is hungry."

My head shot up to see Chris. I bit my lip. I could smell he was AB+. I could digest that. He smelt amazing. He smirked and I lunged at him.

------------------------

I cleaned myself off and stared at Chris. I'd drained him. I was shaking badly. I backed away. I'd never killed anyone before. My Father did. He would give me the drained blood. I ran from the clearing as fast as I could.

"FRANK!"

I spun around and saw Gerard. I whimpered.

"S-Stay away from me."

"W-Why?"

He looked hurt.

"Because you're a cunt and I hate you."

I hated myself for saying it. Tears welled up in his eyes. He started crying and ran away from me.

------------------------

My Father grabbed my arm.

"What happened?"

"A guy in my class followed me. He knew. He was AB+."

I didn't need to say anymore.

"We're going to have to move."

I nodded, still staring in the direction Gerard had gone. Father got me in the car and took me home.

Notes

This chapter is named after a song by T.O.K called Footprints. I highly recommend it. It's kinda blues reggae. Even if you don't like that genre, listen to it, it's beautiful.
