The Random Vampire Story [2]

Caiden

"I see your love has brought you this far," she read aloud, "but for now it must take a stop. Here you will find a photo album of you and your love. You won't remember them, but you will soon enough.

A concerned friend. P.S. There are greorcies inside."

"How kind." Jason said bitterly.



Brent

I woke in the morning to find Colt passed out on the porch this time, I prayed for something to make the pain of losing her a little less intense. There was a letter by his head. I picked it up.

"I see your friend still loves her? While that is sweet mourning her will not bring her back from the dead. Take away his beer bottle and away from anything that would remind him of her. But do not leave the state.

A concerned friend."

Jason---

When they walked into the house Candy quickly walked towards the table where a photo album sat. He didn't want to see what the pictures contained so he went to the kitchen to get something to eat.


Colt-

When Colt woke up he was in a house he had never seen before. He ran to the bathroom and emptied his stomach. When he finnally stopped throwing up he stood up and walked back to the room. He looked for his wallet where he had a picture of Caiden stashed away. They had gotten it a while back. He finnally found his wallet, but the picture was gone.

"BRENT!!!"

Brent

I winced as I heard him scream my name, I knew I was in for a broken nose. Well I deserved it. So I wasn't about to fight back.

"Brent what did you do?"

I did the only thing I could think to do at this point, I poured a cup of coffee and handed it to him. "Yell when it doesn't hurt your own ears."


Caiden

I was afraid to open the book, afraid of what would be inside. I slid onto the floor and opened it to the first page. I was kissing somebody, he was handsome, not remembering him made me feel like a whore, but there was nothing about that kiss that suggested unfimilariaty.

I snapped the book shut and went to get a cup of coffee.

Colt--

Colt glared at Brent and took the coffee cup exploring the apartment.

"Where is all Caiden's stuff?" He demanded,

"Back at Slade's. We thought maybe you should stay here for a while." Brent replied,

"Not unless I have something of Caiden's." He snapped,

"That isn't going to help you any. Maybe after you can settle down it'll be ok, but dude, you punched a mirror. Not exactly what I call sane."

"Oh so your taking her away from me? It isn't bad enough she is dead, I can't even see her! Well you wont take her from my mind." Colt spun around and stalked out of the room.


Jason--


Jason saw the picture, weither he wanted to or not. He looked at Candy.

"You ok?" He asked gently.

"Ya, I'm fine." She replied sipping her coffee.

"You sure, you look a little sick."

Brent

I sagged back into the chair, like it or not, he was right. I was taking her away from him, all of us actually. We all missed her, just...not quite as intenesly as Colt did. She was one of those girls who everybody loved, who everybody missed, who nobody really wanted to kill or have die.

I pulled out the picture I stole from Colt's wallet, I just looked at it for a moment. It hurt to know we'd never see that smiling face again except in pictures. It hurt enough that I stuck the picture back in my back pocket.

Caiden

"I feel a little sick," I said, "but not because of the picture I don't think." I suddenly felt as though I was going to puke. I stood up and rushed from the room, finding the bathroom and puking. By the toilet I found a note.

You are connected to your love, you will soon find yourself going into a monstrous depression, pouring over the pages missing him intensely. Do not let that worry you, when he is passed out you will be fine, that is when you must go about finding everything.

That didn't sound that good.

Jason-

Jason followed Candy in the bathroom and waited until she finished puking to go in and hand her a wash cloth and some water.

"You ok now?" He asked squatting down on his heels. She nodded,

"I don't know how long I will be though." She said handing him the piece of paper. He growled inwardly. How did this guy have such control over her when she couldnt even remember him.


Colt--

Colt walked outside of the house and sat down on a chair taht was out there. He laid in the sun letting it bath his body. He could see Caiden in his mind. His heart dropped, he would never see her face again. Never know her laugh in his ears. Never kiss her soft lips or feel her soft skin against his own. Never would he feel joy again. No matter what the others would do he wasn't about to forget her. This was only going to make it harder.

Caiden

"I think I'm going to go lay down," I said, "maybe I'll be asleep while he's awake."

"We should figure out how to sever the tie-"

"No. I think this is all a plot to get me back to him. I don't know who's doing it and I don't know how, but...I'm grateful."

He looked annoyed but I ignored it.


Brent

I let Colt mope out on the porch. I had seen a letter out there adressed to him earlier. He'd find it soon enough. Soon he was chugging down another beer and he'd pass out soon.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out the letter adressed to me that I'd found here.

Your friend is still moping around I see. Well he has passed the test, he loves her more than words can explain. IN this envelope you will find one of her necklaces. Give it to him while he's passed out.

As soon as Colt was passed out on the porch, I put it in his hand, along with the picture of her.

****I don't know what to make the letter say. :'( ****

Jason--

Jason watched her go back to one of the rooms and go to sleep. He ran a hand through his hair. Some how he had to sever the tie. He couldn't let some unknown guy get the girl he liked. He walked back to where the photoalbum was and looked through it. IT was all of her nad the guy kissing, hugging, laughing, playing. He growled, she seemed really in love with him. He wasn't bad looking either which made it all the harder to win her over to his side.


Colt--

Colt found a letter with his name on it. He picked it up and looked it over. Slowly opening it he frowned as he read it.


It seems your love is to strong to forget. Caiden would've been proud.
But how long will you be able to last without her. Drinking isn't the key.
Moving on would be a good answer, would it not? Try it and see, please.

Colt through the paper down and grabbed a beer. Hell no was he going to move on. No one was going to convince him of that. He was going to live a miserable life and then die. He didn't even want to be a vampire again, not if Caiden couldn't be with him.

Hm...not qute sure what to do with my 3 minutes I've got left XD

Caiden

I forced myself to sleep, which came very easily to me, as if I had spent much of my life so far doing exausting work. When I woke some hours later it was to the smell of bacon cooking downstairs. I had to follow it.


Brent.

I sighed, whoever the mysterious letter writer was, they had their work cut out for them gettin Colt to stop drinkin.

Colt-

Colt woke up and groggly looked around. He looked down at his hand and saw one of Caiden's favorite necklaces and her picture. He felt tears prick his eyes as he slowly looked over the picture memorizing every feature. Her wonderful smile, her beautiful eyes.

"Why did you have to go?" He sobbed clutching the necklace to his heart.


Jason--


Jason had to do something with hi time and cooking seemed to work. He had slept the night through, and started some bacon and eggs while he was waiting for Caiden to wake up.

When she finally came down he dished up two plates handing her her's.

"Hope you like bacon and eggs." He smiled pulling two pieces of toast out of the toaster.

Caiden

"From the way they smell, I love them."

"You don-"

"I can't really remember anything."

"Oh yeah, would you just like to-"

"I'm hungry enough I'd eat anything."


Brent

I watched Colt through the window. That poor guy. It was another two days before we got another letter. This one was adressed to Slade.

Your friend isn't trying to get over her, don't question how I know. I just do. So instead, here is a video tape of you four at the mall.

"Colt..." I said slowly, "We have something to watch."

"What is it?"

"Just watch it."

I pushed the tape in the player and turned the TV on. I wasn't sure if me and Slade should leave the room or not. We all missed hearing her laugh, and there was a chance of it being on there.

Tears pricked my eyes as we watched the tape.

****I'lll be gone for a bit, I'll post when I get back.*****

*sigh* oh all right.

Colt-

It just took seeing her face to make his eyes cloud over with tears. Someone was playing a terrible joke on him. He heard her laugh and it was too much. He jumped up and tore out of the house leaning on the pourch railing. Sobs shook his whole being, how was he going to survive with out her.


***Sorry short***

Jason---

Jason smiled and dished her a plate. They sat down and started eating. He savored the taste of the food and the company.



***Grrrr*

Brent

I got up off the couch and followed Colt outside. He was sobbing against the railing. I leaned back against the door.

"Do you think it could be Caiden doing this?" I offered.

"Caiden's dead," Colt blurted.

"Yeah, but do you think she may have arranged it for you?"

"She didn't know she was going to die!"

I shrugged, "It was just a theory. But I don't think whoever it is is trying to make you miserable."


Caiden

"Oh dear god this is good!" I said out loud later when we were at the ice cream parlor. "What flavor is this?"

"Chocolate chunk," the man behind the counter said.

"I love it!" I looked over at Jason who was grinning like an idiot, "stop laughing."

"I can't help it."

I playfully swatted his shoulder, "I don't remember what ice cream tastes like remember?"
