Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Bloody Mess (Working Title) ❯ Sage ( Chapter 1 )

Plain red brick one story house in the middle of no where 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom, which I don't need, huge living room tiny kitchen and dining room, which I also will never need, one huge library with wall to wall built in shelves and from the floors to the ceilings it is all black in every room in the house. This ordinary house is in the middle of 40 acres which I own have now for one hundred and twenty years. Even though this house of mine might be as plain as it gets my life is far from it nothing about me and my life screams regular woman living on her own trying to make ends meat. Of course no one ever says that about me since I don't get out much unless I absolutely need to. I mean what would people possibly think or say if they saw this extremely pale 5'7, 115lb woman with black hair and a strip of deep red hair walking down the street or purchasing clothes and even more so if they came close to this woman to see her eyes where a normal persons would be white there would be pitch black and where there was suppose to be green or brown blood red. Everyone that sees me will be frightened and as they should be they are nothing more to me than a way to survive to live through the many years of my immoral life. I guess that sounds like I am a bad person, if a person is what you would call me, and I am not truly I only go after the wicked the ones that have already condemned their lives by harming another. I even have two friends, my dog my beautiful great dane that I found nearly beaten to death in an alley one night while I was “hunting” I couldn't bare to leave him there and I knew if I took him in I could never bare to part with him in ten or so years down the road so I turned him into what people nowadays call me, a vampire, my second friend is my editor/publisher great guy. He and his family have been my publishers/editors for years I'm very lucky to have them I might not be able to publish my books if I didn't have them. The whole family knows about me of course I just don't have much contact with them after the one before retires before Toryn it was his mother and before her was her father. Each one seems to want to carry on the family after they learn about little ol' me why I do not know, but it greatly helps me in any case. Every time I get my new publisher of course I go by a new name otherwise people might start getting a little suspicions right now my name is Alexiel Ayanami what can I say I am a push over for Japanese names plus it's always an attention getter. I don't ever right about “my people” I write about love normal love overcoming great obstacles even though love hardly ever does people don't want to read about heartbreak or deaths people want to be able to escape from their pathetic lives and believe that some where out there, there could someday maybe be hope for them. Oh god there goes that damn phone again does Toryn have nothing better to do than to bother me.

 

“Just leave a message Toryn after the beep”

*Beep*

“Like the new answering machine message Sage. Anyway you couldn't possibly be anywhere else, but home right now because its only 2:39pm and I know you are awake so I know this is just a stalling tactic so you can prolong getting your new book to me just because you love to see me an agony. Call me back”.

 

Ha-ha I really shouldn't torment him so he works so hard and I have been finished with my book for quite some time.

 

“What do you say Kira, should I go ahead and call him or wait a little longer?”

“Bark, Bark”

“You're right I'll wait till tomorrow I'm sure he can hold it together till then. I'm not very hungry tonight so I don't think I'm going to go out then. I have some extra blood for you in the fridge Kira so don't worry about not getting your meal.”

 

I wish Kira had enough control to go hunting with me or even by his self. I tried letting him go by himself over seventy years ago when I first got him, but it turned out to be a complete disaster and which almost ended up having us to move somewhere else. Kira attacked everyone and everything at all hours of the day and the more he had the less I could control him. Finally I ended up putting this seventy foot wall up all around my property he can still get out of course, but he seems to listen to me now with the less amount of blood he gets. He is the only one I have killing him had never been an option at that time or will it ever be.

 

“Here you go Kira fifteen gallons of heated blood just like you like it. Now be good mommy is going to sleep now”

 

If you could call it sleep really I'm awake the entire time and can hear everything around me, but everything is pitch black with or without my eyes open and in the far distance I can see a 27 X 32 in. scene of my past my gruesome past which I try with all my might to forget. Forget that night, forget Gavin, and forget everything. Sometimes I stay out later hunting just so I don't have to go to my room and remember everything which I have chosen to block out from my everyday life.

 

“Fuck its only 9am and Toryn is already calling me doesn't he know that vampire need their rest.”

“Hello? Sage, are you there?”

“YES, BUT WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT YOU HAVE TO CALL ME AT THIS HOUR!?”

“Oh I don't know maybe because your novel was supposed to be in my hands almost a month ago!”

“Yeah, yeah it's been done since then I just haven't felt like getting out recently.”

“Oh are you ok? You know last time this happened I had to force blood down your throat.”

“And?”

“Just don't make it a habit Sage I worry about you.”

“Ok well come by anytime today to pick the book I'll be here. Bye”

 

He really gives me a migraine when he nags all the time like this, very annoying. Aw sweet Kira slept in here with me again I understand the feeling of not wanting to be alone its hard sometimes.

 

“Well I guess its time to get up now Kira”

“Yawn”

“I know I feel exactly the same way, but Toryn is coming over. You like Toryn right?”

 

I really need knew clothes I get so bored with all the same stuff all the time. Thank who ever for this day in age that I can buy clothes and anything else I could ever want over the internet a lot easier than trying to go buy clothes during daylight hours and a lot cleaner than taking the clothes from my victims. I guess Toryn was right though I do need to start going out at night if something ever happened to me and Kira was left all alone…I can't even bare to think of it he would be all alone in the world.

 

“Don't worry Kira I won't ever leave you. Now come on lets go to the library”

“Grr”

“Ok, ok you can go outside, but do not wander off the property Kira!”

 

So many books in here and absolutely nothing sorted besides for my books being on a different wall from books I have accumulated over the years. I guess I could start working on that while I wait for Toryn to come over. Let's see how should it all be sorted? Guess I still want my novels away from all of the other books. I'll buy a new shelf for in my room so I can put all of my books in there. That settles that now what the hell am I going to do with the rest of these? I'll keep all the vampire novels I have collected over the years on the east shelf. It's amazing how wrong some of these vampire stories really can be. Crosses, coffins, daylight, and so many other stupid little things like that. Where people get these stupid ideas I do not know, but I guess people just like to see us as the worst possible things that have ever roamed the earth. I start putting all of my other books on the west shelf going from biggest to smallest and in alphabetic order by title not author unless I have more than one book by the same author those can go after all these.

 

“Bark, Bark grrr”

“What? Toryn here already, Kira its just 2'o clock? Why are you growling?

“Come on in Toryn I am in the library.”

“Sure be right there just hanging my coat up”

 

A coat? Why does he need a coat it's only 68 degrees outside?

 

“Hey Sage what are you doing…oh never mind…why exactly are you doing this?”

“I was tired of having to search for books all of the time so I decided to sort everything.”

“Ok…where are the pages for your novel?”

“They are on the coffee table in the living room. You can go in there and start reading it if you like while I am working on this.”

“How many pages is it exactly so I know how long I am going to end up being stuck here?”

“Hmm…I'm not quite sure I lost count at 832 pages.”

“Every time you right a new book it gets longer and longer. When I was a kid your books were only about four hundred pages.”

“I have more competition these days.”

“Well I'm glad I don't have a wife and kids otherwise they might start to worry if I don't come how till tomorrow.”

“Just let me know if you need anything I'll be going out around 9pm tonight”

“Alright”

 

Its amazing how no matter how much I talk about my victims Toryn never seems to mind it neither did the rest of his family I guess, but for some reason he seems even less bothered about it than his mother had been. Sometimes I think he acts that way in the hopes that someday I might turn him into a vampire even his grandfather wanted me too, but eventually he found his true love and someday Toryn will as well and it will probably break my heart just as much as when his grandfather did. Not only when they get married I lose my best friend, but from then on I can only see them a few times until their first child is born and after that child grows up and takes over the business, if they so choose Toryn was actually the third child, I can have another friend someone I can share all my secrets with again until one day they leave me as well. At least now I have Kira the years that would go by with no one to be around had been getting very hard before he came into my life.

 

“Isn't that right Kira mommy was just an empty shell before you? Alright, alright don't slobber all over my face I love you too.”

 

I wonder how Toryn is doing he's been in there over two hours without a word. I guess I can go check on him and let him know I actually managed to get some food in the house for him.

 

“Come on Kira lets go see what Toryn is doing.”

 

It's just now four and he's already fallen asleep. Guess my book was too boring to keep him awake. I'll let him sleep while I look over my pages and see if I need to change anything. I really need more than one sofa in here for times like this I'm sure he won't mind if I just move his head to lay in my lap. Now I'll just skim over the pages to see what's wrong with it. Hmm… I don't see anything wrong with it. Guess he has just been working too hard recently I really should let up on him some otherwise I might end up working him to death at a young age.

 

“Yawn, watching him sleep is making me a little tired I'll go out tomorrow night I'm just too tired to do it right now. Night Kira, Night Toryn.”

 

These dreams when will they disappear I can't bear to see them anymore. My mother…why did you have to kill my mother Gavin why? She was all I had left tell me why you had to ruin what little life I already had? I can still feel the same pain I did over a hundred years ago from that night that night you told me nothing would ever be the same for me from now on. You should have let me be I will never forgive you, Gavin.

 

“Sage, wake up. Its 11am already get up”

…

“Kira is hungry you just going to let him starve?”

“I'm up. What are you still doing here Toryn? I know you are a slow reader, but I though you would be done with it by now.”

“I did finish it. Another best seller I'm sure, but I was waiting for you to wake up to see if you were doing alright.”
