Can't Stop

The Master pushed himself inside Lisa's house. He was a tall and dark vampire. He looked young, but he had to be at least a century old.

"Who is that?" Janet asked.

"Quiet." The Master said. "Or you will join your family."

"What do you want with me? You need Michael don't you?" Lisa said.

"Yes, and you will get him for me."

"Why?" Lisa said.

The Master looked her in the eyes. "Do you still want to live?"

Lisa looked down.

"Now, Lisa, call up Michael. Tell him to meet me at the cemetery. NOW."

"Michael, Michael," Debbie said. She began to panic but Michael wouldn't let her go. At that moment, she realized her hopelessness.

"Michael, stop," she groaned. She continued to hear Michael swallowing up her life. She slowly began to get tired and weak. He hands began to slip from around Michael's waist and fall limp on to the bed. Michael lifted his head up and looked down at her. Blood smeared his fangs and lips. Breathing hard, he obviously enjoyed his drink. Debbie's eyes barely remained open.

"I will make you a vampire. Only if you want me to." Michael said.

It took her a while to speak but she whispered, "No."

"Why?"

Taking a breath of air, Debbie whispered, "Because...I don't want to be like you..."

She slowly lifted her hand up and touched Michael's face. "You're...you're so cold inside...you care for no one..."

She ran her fingers slowly through his long black hair.

"You care for no one....even....even if they care for you." She closed her eyes. "Love is blind...it really is...."

Her hand slipped lifelessly down Michael's shoulder and her fingertips slid down his chest. Her arm then rested across her stomach. She was motionless. The phone began ringing.

Michael shook his head and got out of the bed to answer the phone.

"Oh, hi, Lisa."
