Looking Part The Surface

Her long blonde locks draped over her fair skinned shoulders. Her brown eyes fluttered open to gaze around the large room. She glanced over at the solid physique lying next to her. She grazed her hands across his cool skin and pressed her blood red lips on his chalky forehead she then pulled her body out of the large bed beneath her. The red streaks in her dark brown sulky eyes glowed in the darkness. She sauntered around blindly in search for a light switch. She let her fingers dance along the wall until they finally found a light switch. She let the light flicker on and her eyes dimmed at the brightness that consumed the room.
�Luke, awaken.� She commanded.
Luke�s eye lids rose slowly and eventually exposed Luke�s piercing blue eyes. He glanced over at her nude body and let a smile spread across his light pink lips. There was nothing more beautiful to him than waking up to his stripped lover. He pulled his naked body out of the bed and ran his hands through his short dark brown hair.
�I�m hungry love.� Britney sighed as she ravaged through her clothes.
�We�ll feed soon my love.� Luke promised.
�How soon?� She questioned, as she grew extremely impatient.
Luke moved slowly towards her still naked body. He pressed his fingers against her cool and bare breast as he maneuvered his lips onto hers, �Soon.�
Her dark eyes looked away from her true love and back to the clothes before her. She decided to cover her body in a long sleeved black shirt that exposed a small amount of her defined stomach and flared out at the wrists, with a dark blue jean skirt. She walked to the middle of the room once she was dressed and gathered all her necessary things, including her blood red cross with Jesus dying on the front of it. She never left that necklace anywhere. It was her world. She placed the necklace around her neck and left the house without consulting Luke.

Justin laughed obnoxiously as his three friends sang drunkenly. The three men sang high pitched and noticeably off key. The song finally ended and they all three danced off stage and back to their seats.
�Man, y�all are embarrassing.� Justin said as he ruffled through his wild hair. His country accent was as thick as his honey colored curls.
�Yes, well, we try.� JC laughed after he downed another beer.
�And you�re dating him Alexis.� Justin teased the dark beauty standing before him. Her thick black hair was pulled back into cornrows so her hair wasn�t covering her exotic almond shaped sea green eyes.
�I think he�s a cute drunk.� She said as she wrapped her muscle toned caramel colored arms around JC�s neck. She pressed her full lips against his cheek.
�Thank you baby. I think you�re cute all the time.� JC said. He then grabbed her hand and pulled her around from behind him to sit on his lap. On her way down he smacked her butt.
�Jayce, we should go before the vampires come out.� Alexis said.
�Oh I�m not afraid of any vampires. My trusty crucifix will keep them away anyway.� JC said as he pressed his fingers along the smooth surface of his cross.
It was well known that vampires did exist in the deep parts of LA. Everyone knew about them and of course everyone feared them. No one was really aware of Luke and Britney. They knew about them, just not that they were still around, living in LA, and what they were capable of.
�Vampires?� Justin laughed nervously as he ran his long fingers through his dark blonde curls.
�J is from Tennessee, he doesn�t know much of the vamps in LA.� Chris explained to those around them.
�Justin, have you ever seen Buffy The Vampire Slayer?� Mycahel, Chris�s girlfriend, asked the confused man in front of her.
�Well, yeah sure.� Justin answered.
�Well you see it�s not fantasy. It really goes on in LA.� Mycahel explained.
�Um, that�s freaky.� Justin looked around again.
�Don�t worry J. Just be alert, wear a cross, eat some garlic, and carry something sharp. You�ll be alright.� Chris said as he shot an arm around Mycahel.
�Slayers?� Justin asked.
�Um, you�re the slayer doll. Of course there always is Aurora. She�s a fucking nut.� Alexis laughed softly.
�Oh yeah Aurora will cry you a scripture verse.� Joey laughed. Everyone would make fun of Aurora but deep down they were all thankful of her, they knew she saved a lot of them.
�Who�s Aurora?� Justin asked.
�This crazy church chick. You�ll meet her eventually.� JC said.
�Who is that?� Justin let his eyes fall on the mysterious woman that just walked in the door.

Jewel let her dark brown eyes search the dark room once again. That was the third time she heard an unexplainable sound. She pulled her upper body up into a sitting position and looked around again. She pulled her thick wavy shoulder length bleach blonde hair into a sloppy bun causing strands of it to cascade down her neck. She let her small feet touch the cold ground. She then turned on her desk lamp to see an empty room. Her bedroom window was slightly cracked open. Confusion was readable on her features. She got out of the large white bed and slowly walked across the light colored wooden floor to reach her window. The cold breeze of the LA night air brushed along her tan skin.
She looked along the sides of her window then outside again to see nothing. She closed the window and made sure to lock it. She wrapped her bare arms around herself and walked back to her bed. She flipped the light off and lied back down. She kept her eyes open for a little and finally decided to relax herself so she could go back to sleep. After about 10 minutes of silence her large window door shot open causing Jewel to jump out of her sleep and out of her bed. She ran to the windows and shut them again. The light from the half full moon barely shown through the trees causing very little light to invade the bedroom so it was hard for Jewel to see well enough to lock the window. She finally got it locked and looked out her window one more time.
She turned to go back to her bed when she saw a five foot seven figured woman hovering next to her bed. Jewel tried to scream but no sound could escape her glossy lips. The woman�s ice blue eyes practically lit the dark room. Her dark makeup decorated her attractive features and her light brown hair was beautifully tied up into an elegant bun. Her name was Drea. The queen vampire�s little sister. Everyone knew who she was. She was the most careless vampire around. Drea slowly hovered to Jewel. She let a smile spread across her dark red lips.
�Please don�t.� Jewel begged for her life.
�Oh baby, it�s too late for that. Besides,� Drea brushed the loose strands of hair off of Jewel�s neck and moved her mouth about an inch away from Jewel�s warm skin, �I can smell your warm rich blood and I am starving.�
�Please.� Jewel huffed. She couldn�t scream. Her body was frozen.
�Sorry doll.� Drea let her sharp triangle shaped teeth break Jewel�s tan skin then pulled the blood from her veins into her mouth.
