A Night Out
Awfully lonely, that's how I have been feeling for the past few centuries. Then again, when you are a five hundred and fifty-one-year-old vampire living all by herself, that is not surprising. Right?
Now, you could argue that if I am so lonely, I should make friends; it's not like the population of the world is dwindling, but it has always felt like a very daunting prospect, for I have always been antisocial and awkward.
This year, however, I have decided to change that. I have gathered my courage and have decided to try and make a friend.
As the evening draws closer, I transform myself from a vegan vampire to a lovable, fluffy carrot eater and hop to the garage.
Seating myself behind the steering proves to be difficult; my tail digs into my lower back.
Was dressing like a bunny a good option?
Ignoring the discomfort, I start the car and hit the road.
Unfortunately, a few minutes into the drive, my car betrays me by stopping abruptly in the middle of the road!
Cursing, I call the services and wait to be rescued.
That is when another unfortunate thing happens: my stomach grumbles. I belatedly realize that in my excitement and anticipation to make friends (or at least one friend), I had skipped dinner.
Sighing heavily, I look around to see if I could get lucky before help arrives and spot something moving in the woods next to the road. Without losing time, I dash towards it; reducing distance, I pounce on it.
Without waiting to observe my kill, I sink my fangs into it; the animal stops moving.
"RIP, dear one," I mutter under my breath. Leaning away, I caress the once white and fluffy but now red and matted fur behind the dead rabbit's ear.
I am still contemplating on whether or not to bury it when I hear the sound of an approaching vehicle. I abandon the poor dead animal and sprint towards my car, just in time to see a young man with dark eyes and an Adonis-like body get out of the vehicle.
"Car trouble?" he asks, approaching me without hesitation.
I nod; he gives me a toothy grin. His eyes fall on my lips and linger. It is at this precise moment that I realize that I had forgotten to wipe my mouth after the bloody deed.
I am cursed, aren't I?
I think of ways to excuse myself without rousing suspicion, but before I can come up with a believable explanation, he steps closer and swipes his thumb over my lips. He smirks. "Very realistic. What are you supposed to be, a killer rabbit?"
Thank Devil, it's Halloween!
I smile seductively. "I am a vampire rabbit."
He chuckles and winks. My hopes raised, I tell myself that it's now or not for another few centuries; crossing my fingers, I hesitantly enquire, "Are you open to being friends with a vampire?"
