[b]Chapter 2. Dylan and Hawkette[/b] Dylan peered through the bush he was hiding behind. He watched Courtney and Chelsea as they ran back to the orphanage. Once he saw that no one was around, he jumped up and walked into the dark forest. He came upon an old cave and entered it. He saw the other vampires sucking the blood out of innocent squirrels, rabbits, birds, and rats. Dylan was a very ruthless vampire. He was always one of the ones to get in the most trouble. His good looks always got him out of everything, though. With his long, black hair and big red eyes, all the vampire girls would fall in love with him. But there was only one girl for him. And that was Hawkette. They were the longest lasting couple around. Some people even said they were eventually going to get married. They just laughed it off. “Marriage is for old people,” they’d say to each other. Hawkette wasn’t exactly the most popular girl in town. Actually, she was the exact opposite. All the girls were jealous of her for being with Dylan. They soon turned their jealousy into hate. They’d torment her with their harsh words and plan to stake her heart. Hawkette became used to it, and eventually became immune to it all. Dylan smiled when he saw Hawkette. She approached him and kissed him gently on the cheek. “I missed you,” she whispered in his ear, softly. “I did too,” Dylan said, holding Hawkette tightly in his arms. “I hate to ruin this perfect moment, but what did you find out about the girl?” Hawkette asked, pulling away from him. “She made a friend.” “Hmm… Does she know anything?” “Yes, she does. She watched Courtney suck the blood out of a corpse.” “Oh no, today wasn’t…” “It was.” “Why do we ALWAYS forget to leave her rats?” “Maybe ‘cause we’re BA like that?” Dylan said, grinning. “Oh very funny. Let’s just hope this new friend of hers isn’t some big mouth who will go around town telling everyone about her secret.” “I’m sure she’s told her to keep quiet. We have nothing to be afraid of. And in just a few years, will can welcome her into our clan.” “Clan? You make us sound like some Indian tribe.” “It’s not my fault you people act like it sometimes.” “Humph. But your right, when she turns 16, we will be able to take her away from humanity and allow her to live with the rest of her kind.” “But till then, I guess we’ll just have to wait.”
