Isabella Von Ray
"Ugh," was the first sound to leave my lips. But it was small and even I could barely hear it. My body was stiff and was lying on something hard pretending to be soft. I tried to open my eyes but the light in the room I was in was just too much for my tired eyes to bear. Where am I? An acceptable question to ask myself. Last I remember is I was being carried and then... What? I tried to remember but my head started to pound so I just gave up on that, focusing on the noises in the background. The obvious drone of a Colgate commercial and a few voices on top of it all.
"Damn congressmen," someone was saying. "Why the hell can't they just leave us alone?" There was the sound of something hitting what sounded like glass and another of someone sighing.
"We do what we do to survive!" someone - a man - said angrily. Then there was silence. My best guess was that the commercial of whatever they were watching had finially gone off. [i]I'm standing here out side of Capitol Hill as discussion about what to do about our nation's vampires goes on inside. Vampire Superman, Dmitri Collins, fights to keep his kind above ground..." Wait. Did she just say Dmitri? How could he possibly be at Capitol Hill? I just saw him a few hours ago.
"What's going on," I asked myself, a bit louder now.
"Oh, welcome back," someone said suddenly. I squeezed my eyes shut tighter before trying again to open them, slower this time. "Glad to see you're awake." Finially, the area arround me came in view. The air was stuffy and dusty and the only lighting was that coming from the TV and a few dim lamps placed randomly around the place. There was a small and cute sofa that didn't seem to belong around all this mess, and a recliner with a small water stained table in front of it. The man in front of me had dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I smiled wearily.
"Hello." I frowned at my voice and cleared my throat before trying again. "Where am I?" The boy smiled but it looked forced and fake and helped me sit up.
"Our...home. Sorta."
"Who are you?"
"Your savior!" I raised an eyebrow at him and tilted my head slightly to the side. The international sign for what the heck are you talking about. "My name's Tom," he said. The person behind him screamed something about being ignored and Tom told me the man on the sofa's name was Peter.
"Isabella," I replied. I looked around him at the TV. "What's this about vampires and keeping them above ground?"
