The Random Vampire Story [2]

Colt-

Colt didn't know when he had fallen asleep, but that was what hapened if you cried oto much when a humen he remembered. He looked around. Brent was asleep in a chair close by, for who knows what reason. Colt's head went to where Caiden should be sleeping and he yanked it back when he remembered Caiden wasn't there. He cursed silently. This wasn't going to work.

Caiden

"Well Candy," the man said, "I'm James."

"Hi James, where am I?"

"England. Would you like a ride home?"

She smiled and stood up. "That would be nice. Except I don't think home is on this continent... I don't know."

Brenty

I woke to find Colt not there, I stood up and went to the bathroom and then out into the living room where I found him sitting on the couch staring up at the ceiling. Poor guy, I thought, I hoped he'd become less catatonic over time, but I couldn't expect it to be any time soon.

"Want some coffee Colt?"

Colt-

Colt just stared at the ceiling, he couldn't find anythign to get her Caiden off his mind so he just went to thinking about her. It wasn't helping his mood any. He wanted to pull his hair out or something. Anythign to make him think about something else.

"Want some coffee, Colt?" He heard Brent ask,

"Not unless it'll make me forget." He replied bitterly. He knew it wasn't Brent's fault, but he wasn't in the mood to apologize.

Caiden

"What do you mean?"

"I don't really know...I just know I'm not from around here."

"STrange. Maybe this'll explain things."

"What will?"

"I found this on the ground next to you when I got out to see if you were alright," he handed her a letter.

Is your love strong enough to withstand all odds? Follow your heart and find your way home.

"What the hell does this mean?" she asked the air.

Brent

"I can't guarentte it will do anything other than numb your insides."

"That sounds good right now."

Colt-

Colt didn't get up, and when Brent handed him the coffee he gulped some down burning his tounge. he didn't mind the pain though. It gave him somethign to think of other then Caiden. She was gone, forever. The thought made him want to cry, yell, and scream all at the same time.

Caiden

She looked inside the envelope and found a small peice of paper, on it was a phone number, "mind if I borrow your phone?" she asked James.

"Not at all."

"Thanks." She stood up and dialed the number. "Hello?"

"Hello Candy, nice to see that you're well."

"Who are you?"

"Lets just say a concerned friend."

"Did you-"

"Go to the address on the back of the envelope, there you'll receive your next clue and be taken care of."

"than-" the man hung up. "Where can I find this address?"

Brent

Days passed and Colt barely got off the couch. He wouldn't eat unless the food was burning hot. Something needed to be done about him. "Colt," I said to him one day. "Caiden would smack you if she were here." He grimanced.

"Go to hell Brent."

"She would, she wouldn't want you to do this to yourself."

"So?"

"Don't betray her memory."

Colt-

Colt looked at Brent, "Don't act like you knew her!" he said jumping up and looking Brent square in the eyes. "LIfe is hell without her, Theres no way I can live it with out her around." He wanted to hit Brent, but he couldn't. He stormed to his room and slammed the door locking it behind him. He walked to the bathroom and looked around. the shirt Caiden had borrowed of his was laying on the floor, as was the towel she had used. Tears stung his eyes as he saw other things that she had left.

Brent

I knew that'd strike a nerve, but it got him off the couch. It was a step in a direction at least. And I was right, I knew enough about her to know that if she saw him moping like this she would kick his ass. But of course she wasn't here to do that was she?

Jason-

"It isn't that far from here." Jason said looking at the girl, she was really pretty. He wanted to kick himself for the thought, she was lost. She didn't have her memory. But he couldn't help but think she was beautiful. Maybe just maybe he could win her over.


Colt-

Colt walked out of the bathroom and walked to the mirror in the room. He looked in it and he could've sworn he could see Caiden behind him. He spun around, but she wasn't there. He balled his fist up and slammed it into the mirror causing it to crash to pieces tearing his fist to shreds.

Caiden

"Could you show me?" She asked, not really caring that she didn't really know this guy.

He shrugged, "sure, we can take my car."

"Okay."

He took her hand and led her away from the room and outside to a really sweet looking mini-cooper.


Brent

I heard the shattering of something in Colts room and him howl in pain. I sent Slade in to see if he was alright. I was afriad Colt would kick my ass if I went in there. But I listened at the door.

"Brent was right," Slade said, "Caiden would smack you if she saw what you've been doing to yourself these past few days. And don't you dare say I hardly know her, she's been my best friend for years, I know her."

"It doesn't matter does it? She's dead and thats all there is to it."

"But you're not. Miserable as you may be you're still alive, I wouldn't reccomend killing yourself by the way."

"Why not?"

"Caiden believed in God, if you kill yourself, you won't go to where she is. Here, this'll numb the pain."

I thought about what Slade brought in there. Oh a beer bottle.

Colt--

Colt looked at the bottle and took it then walked to the bathroom running water over his hand. He wrapped it in a towel and then walked to the living room and started drinking the bottle sitting on the couch not saying a word.


Jason---


Jason didn't want to let Candy's hand go but he did when she climbed in. He got in the drivers seat and started for the adress.

"So what can you remember?" He asked looking at her in the corner of his eye.

Brent

I wasn't sure what to make of the new situation with Colt, he was going to be drunk all the time now I realized, that wasn't all that good of an idea. But it was better than bein a grumpy bastard.

But then again could I blame him? He had just lost his soul mate. They had to be soul mates. Anybody who loved each other that much had to be soul mates.


Caiden

"Not much about my life, but I understand everything else. I feel like something's missing though. Like I should be in someone's arms but I'm not. I should be somewhere special, but I'm not."

"Is that why you're so trusting of these letters?"

She nodded, "I want to go back to that. I want to feel that again." She looked over at him and how he was watching her. Not like a predator stalking a prey, but like a lovesick puppy. She didn't like that.

Colt-

Colt hated the taste of the beer, but it slowly made his mind go fuzzy forgetting everything. He soon passed out happy to forget.


Jason-

Jason didn't like the fact that she was chasing after someting that could just be a joke. He didn't want her getting hurt, or going back to whoever she felt she needed to be in arms. He envied the guy that she was talking about. Maybe he would get her to forget about it. He would be able to win her over that way, wouldn't he? He smiled as he kept driving he would do that.

Brent

"Is it safe to give him that?" I asked Slade.

"If he keeps up his passing out rate, yeah."

I shook my head in disgust. Slightly mad at Caiden for dying and leaving Colt to this.


Caiden

I ran out of the car and onto the porch of the car and started to read the note left there aloud.

Jason-

Jason slowly followed her not really wanting her to read teh note. He reached her as she started to read it.


Colt-

Colt woke up in the middle of the night. Brent and Slade were both asleep. He got up grogly and walked towards the door grabbing a beer. He stepped outside and looked where he had Caiden had been earlier. He gulped some of the beer and then walked to the front of the house. He needed to get away.
