Slave Blood: Chapter 2

Chapter 2 is the second chapter of the vampire novel Slave Blood.

Chapter 2
“She’ll be the death of you one day”, Alice joked while we took our seats in class.

“Tell me about it!”, I sighed. Why could Lily not just find a normal guy instead of a deadly monster like Jovan? He did not even like her. All he saw was a bag of blood and meet. You might think I overreact. That he is just a not very polite guy with weird contact lenses or something. Trust me: He is not! This might sound crazy. Really crazy! But Jovan is a monster. A 2000 year-old monster. Shall I give you one more clue: His favourite food is blood. Oh yes, we are dealing with a vampire here. A real living vampire.

Actually this town has been dealing with four of them since forever. They call themselves the founders and they completely control the town; nothing comes in and nothing goes out without them knowing it. All children are taught about them and their doings: We even have a subject for just that. It is called ‘History of the Founders’. Not really anyone’s favourite subject.

Vampires are not like the once in all the popular novels. They are cruel and evil creatures only wanting for a chance to such every drop of blood out of you! Thinking of them as humane could be your life’s biggest and last mistake. That was the reason why I was so worried about Lily. It was like she did not get the fact that vampires are monsters. Only thinking about the many ways they are able to kill her!

“Miss Plair, are you with us?”, Old Mr. Oak was standing in front of me with the math book in his hands. I had managed to disappear into my own little world .. as always.

“Yes, Mr. Oak. I am.”, I said. He nodded and continued talking about math.

“Passing out again?”, Alice whispered. I answered by shrugging – afraid of getting any more trouble with Mr. Oak. #

I spend lunch break with Alice and a couple of other classmates. In the cafeteria I could not help myself but to look after both Lily and Jovan. I could first really enjoy my meal when I saw Lily eating with her friends in the other end of the cafeteria. Save and sound for now.
