    Vampire Corfu

    the rain pored heavily down the car windows. Spider rain the boys mother always called it. why she called it that he did not know. his hair was pitch black and was combed over to the right and stuck there with gel.he had lost him self to his thoughts. his music almost full blast, as he blocked out all noise.
    his eyes were a grayish blue and filled with sadness. his shoes look to be one size to big and his pants looked two sizes to small. his shirt was black just like his hair
    and he wore mainly the same thing every day. he was 16 and lost in the world. he looked over at his little brother and sister who had been sleeping for about and hour. then he turned to look at his mother. she had bags under her eyes and would drift on the road every now and then. he then looked at the empty passenger seat and was instantly filled with anger.he shook his head as if he was trying to shake the anger out then he turned the volume up on his mp3. his mother looked at him through the rear view merrier. she pulled over to the side of the road to look at a map. "Myles?". the boy looked up to his mother facing him. "yeah?" he answered quietly.she moved over to the passenger side and sat down. "drive until u hit a motel i can barely keep my eyes open". Myles moved to the drivers side. he hated driving the mini van. he always preferred the Honda, but still driving was driving and at least he wouldn't see anyone he knew. heck he wasn't even in Canada any more.his mom couldn't pay the rent on their house and already owed the landlord money so they were driving to her sisters so she could pawn money off of her. they where going to stay there for 2 months.Myles hated going to his aunts , she lived all the way in buffalo and he always got car sick.Myles lived in Edmonton Alberta so it took them three days to drive to his aunts. his aunt lived in a town next to Corfu, he couldn't remember the name just that it was next to Corfu. and the only reason he remembered that was because of the Dracula movies. not five minutes after Myles started driving his mother fell asleep. he turned of his mp3and put on a c.d. he drove for two hours until he hit a town and noticed he needed gas. he stopped at a small gas station and filled the tank up full and bought himself a coffee. he took a look at the map and guessed he had about 3 more hours to drive so he kept going and didn't bother with stopping at a motel. Myles past through another town and stopping at a four way stop. he pictured seeing a coyote running out into the middle of the four way like in the movies. he pictured seeing its eyes glow from the beam of the vans head lights. he must have stayed in the same spot
    for a few minutes hoping to see something so he'd know he wasn't all alone. silence was broken from a garbage bin falling onto the road. he quickly glanced in excitement but to find only a pesky raccoon. even so he didn't feel as alone as before. he honked the horn and the raccoon ran as he started to drive off but only to stop again
    to find three baby raccoons start running in front of the van. he felt a warmness inside, as he watched them pass. he began to
    drive again but this time he was smiling a bit. Myles came to the town of Corfu. the town looked deserted almost ghostly like. he turned a corner and could hear loud music. as he drove down the street further he could see that the music was coming from a club. he slowed the car down to take a look. there was a small line up to
    get in. but it seemed descent enough from the out side. a car behind him honked and it startled Myles. he turned the corner and started leaving Corfu and not seconds later there was a sign with a towns name on it. he couldn't make out the word but figured he was going the right way. when he reached his aunts driveway his mother slowly came to a wake. startled that they where at her sisters and that it was 3am she grabbed Myles's cold coffee and gulped it down. the two of them walked to the front door and unlocked it with the hidden key under a fake rock. they went in and the room was dark. Myles turned around to wake his little brother and sister.
    he stopped at the passenger side. he gazed back into a memory. he was camping, but he was younger and with his father and older brother. they were all swimming. then he remembered them driving home. his older brother was driving and they were all talking. then the next thing he remember was waking up in the hospital. his father had died but he and his older brother lived. he remembered his mother yelling at his brother. and that was the last time he saw his older brother. he shook his head but this time he couldn't shake out the anger.this time he had no music. "Myles!" his little brother Jeramey grabbed Myles's shoulder. Myles grabbed Jeramey and pulled him close and started crying on his shoulder.Myles wiped his face dry and grabbed his bag and pillow and went inside and fell asleep on the pull out couch. he awoke the next day at 12 in the afternoon. Jeramey and his sister Zoey were at the kitchen table eating fruit loops talking about the amusement park that they were going to go
    to that day. Myles felt groggy and his eyes felt swollen. he wanted to sleep forever but he had to go to the bathroom badly.he walked down the hall and passed his aunts room. the room was dark and he couldn't tell if there was someone in it. Myles cracked the door to get a better look inside. just then he was startled by his mother grabbing his shoulder. "don't wake her up. she looks like shes caught the flu or something". Myles turned around to see his mother with a coffee in her right hand and the news paper tucked under her left. "how was your sleep?" she asked him but he turned not hearing her and went to the washroom. "Myles?!" Zoey called down the hall. when Myles walked out of the bathroom Zoey went running towards him as if she were going to jump into his arms.she grabbed his arm and pulled him to the kitchen where his mom and Jeramey sat at the table. "tell him the plan mom tell him!" Zoey was filled with excitement. "your going to take Jeramey and Zoey into the amusement park down the street. and your going to keep an eye on them.right?" Myles grabbed a bowl of cereal and shook his head. "sure whatever" he said without emotion.
    when Myles finished his cereal he got dressed and left the house with Zoey and Jeramey. when they got to the park there were barley any people, and the ones that were there looked the they were sun screen obsessed. they spent most of the day going on rides and eating funnel cake. Myles bought pizza for dinner and Zoey broke
    the crust up to feed the ducks. Myles and Jeramey sat back and watched her. they stayed at the park until 10:30 that night. it was strange that the darker it got the more people would come. then Myles figured it was because of the lazier show they were watching. Jeramey sat next to Myles as Zoey danced to the music. "hey?
    what was it like? when the accident happened?" Myles froze. he felt as if he weighed a thousand pounds. heavily sinking, and the world around him came crashing to a stop. he had never been asked that. he had no clue what to tell him. Myles got up and started to walk away. "Myles! im sorry i didn't mean to say it aloud. Myles wait im sorry!" Jeramey cried out and grabbed Zoe's arm and ran after Myles. " you always have to rune a good moment don't you! both you and mom. can't you all just leave me ALONE!" Jeramey and Zoey walked home by them selves hoping that Myles wouldn't go far. they reached the house to find their mother yelling at Myles.
    he walked up the steps and slammed the door behind him. "thank god your okay!" their mother ran towards them with her arms wide open. Myles ran up to the washroom and lied down in the bath tub and cried. he cried till he fell asleep.water filled the room around Myles. he awoke and he was drowning. he was confused and half naked. he tried to surface but was stuck in one place. he started to feel light headed. then a girl jumped in and was face to face with him. her eye sparkled. her face was that of an angel. she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. it was unlike any kiss. then he blacked out.

    "Myles! open this door now!" Myles shook his head. unaware that he had dreamed he was confused. he opened the bathroom door and his mother came through angrily.
    "what do u think you are doing!" Myles wasn't sure why she was yelling at him. he took a step back and realized that the bathroom had flooded. the sink was over flowing with water. he couldn't remember him self sticking a cloth in the drain.
    SMACK! his mother slapped him across the face."Are you listening to me?!" Myles looked at her in shock. "NO! why should i? u blame me for every thing, now that u can't blame dads death on Jacob u blame it on me!" Myles pushed his mom out of the way and ran out the front door.
    he was filled with so much anger now. he felt like hitting something. he walked around for about an hour, throwing punches in the air. he stopped when he tripped over the side of the road. he sat there thinking about random things. he thought about how hi mom hit him. then he looked at his watch. it was 1am. he didn't want to go back home. he looked behind him to see if anyone was around. he saw the Corfu town sign. then he remembered the club he had passed on his way here.
    Myles walked down the street and the music from the club was getting louder.he was able to make out one of the bands playing.he turned a corner to find a small line up of people.they were all dressed different.he went to the back and was stared at by a few of the people in line.
    Myles watched as 3 guys walked to the body guard at the doors. then a fight broke out."Get lost animeguses!" the body guard shoved the 3 guys back to the ground.Myles watched as the 3 guys left around the corner."what the hells an animegus?"he said to himself.just then a back limo pull up in front of the club.everyone in line stopped what they were doing and watches as the limo door opened.
    out walked the girl.the one from his dream, but she was dressed different.she was more punk then he remembered.
    she still had a face like an angel.she turned to face another person coming out of the limo.people started to race over to the limo and Myles was trampled.when he got up the girl was gone and so was the other person.Myles moved up in the line.he was almost at the front now,anciuse to get in.he wanted to know who and why the girl from his dream was at the club.
    when Myles finally got inside he looked around until he spotted the girl talking the a black haired guy.she shook her head and went through a back door as the guy went up a set of stairs.Myles imedeitly followed the girl through the door.he came to the back of the club outside.
    u could see water and a city lit up by its lights.he looked around for the girl. she was leaning a tomb stone.
    she saw him looking at her and closed her eyes.she started to dance to the music in the background.myles walked up to her and started to dance along.he felt as though he knew her all his life.she opened her eyes and they were a dark brown almost black.her hair was long and blond and she wore a red tie that matched her red and black pladed skirt.
    "names serenity."she smiled a sweet smile."Myles!"he yelled his name.he had never been this nervous with a girl before.serenity laugh."thats cute"she winked at Myles.
    "your cute!" Myles screamed out again.serenity blushed.
    for the rest of the night Myles and Serenity just talked. he talked to her as if he had known her for years. and everything they talked about they could relate to one and other. when a song would come on that they both liked they would get up and dance. Myles had never felt so free.
    "have you ever watched a sun rise?" Myles turned and looked at serenity."No.i haven't"she smiled at Myles."well. if you want the sun will rise in..."Myles looked down at his watch."a half hour!"he smiled back at serenity only to find that her face was now in shock."Oh my!I hate to go but i wasn't. i have to."her words stumbled."I had fun Myles.thank you." she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek."will i see you again?"
    "Im here every night.well almost.by Myles!"she waved and went through the door.Myles climbed to the roof of the club and ran to the front."by"he said softly as he watched her get back into the limo and drive off.
    Myles sat watching the sunrise.it was beautiful.he only wished that serenity could be there to watch with him.
    Myles got back to the house and it was still early.everyone was still sleeping so he went to the pull out couch and just lied there.he didn't need his mp3 to get lost in his thoughts.just picturing Serenity's face was enough for him to lose himself to all things oblivious to him.
    Myles was awoken by a scream coming from down the hall.
    he ran to see what was going on. his mother came running out of his aunts room in shock."Get back Myles!" Myles took two steps back but he himself was also in shock.his mother locked the door but still held onto the door nob.Jeramey and Zoey came running out of their rooms and ran by Myles.
    "what's wrong?"Myles looked up at his mom though he didn't want to."Nothing!she's just.she's just really sick."
    BANG!BANG!BANG! the sound of someone banging on a door could be heard from the other side."LET ME OUT!AHHHHHHH!"
    THUD! Myles heard a body fall to the ground.
    Zoey grabbed Myles's arm and cried on it."take them out" his mother screamed.Myles picked up his younger sister and brought her out side."Jeramey! come on!"
    Jeramey came running out with a Popsicle for Zoey.Jeramey sat down next to Myles."is aunty Jane gonna die?"
    "Jeramey!why would you..." Myles didn't really have an answer because he was thinking the same thing."you know.she'll make it through.i mean when was the last time aunt Jane's been sick?and plus mom said shes just really sick right now so.don't worry kid." Myles looked down and his younger siblings and gave them a group hug.
    "Lets go for a walk. how does that sound?" Myles smiled and got up. "Come on!"
    Jeramey got up and held Zoeys hand.
    Myles, Jeramey and Zoey didn't get back until super time.
    Myles tried to avoid his mother that night but she got mad for not bringing his siblings back earlier then what he did.
    he ignored everything she said to him and he went into the back yard. he had his mp3 this time so he lost himself into his music once more. time was consumed fast. by the time he got back inside it was 10pm. everyone had gone to sleep now and the house was completely silent. he grabbed a piece of cold pizza and sat down on the couch. he started thinking about Serenity. he grabbed his jacket and went out the front door. he looked up at his aunts window. it was wide open and the curtains were blowing in the wind. "MYLES!" Jeramey came running out the door. "i heard something! a noise" he was panting his words."well of obviously you heard a noise."
    "NO i heard like a weird noise"
    "from where" Myles was waiting for Jeramey to tell him what he had heard.
    "it came from aunt Jane's room"
    Myles looked up at the window again and saw movement. the two creped up the stairs and down the hall to their aunts room. Myles creaked the door open an inch. he could hear loud breathing from inside."what is it?"Jeramey leaned into his brother."get off me" Myles shoved Jeramey back who pushed him into the door. Myles fell through into the room. he slowly looked up. he could hear the breathing even louder now. standing by the window was a sight that frightened Myles and Jeramey. His aunt had blood on her face and hands and her eyes were as red as wine. she looked ten years younger.Myles lied there shocked and motionless. what was he to do?
    "Jeramey.move slowly back" Myles whispered softly.
    Jeramey bolted down the hall. Myles looked up at his aunt who was looking straight through him. she started running for him. Myles quickly got to his feet and ran to the door. she grabbed his arm and scratched it. Myles slammed the door back on her and looked it up again. His heart was pounding heavily. he felt as though he had no breath.
    Myles ran down the stairs and out the front. "where you going?" Jeramey followed him to the end of the drive way.Myles stopped. "you cant come" he turned and started walking."so what you gonna just leave me here! Fine! leave like Jacob!" Myles turned and ran up to Jeramey."Jacob didn't leave us!Mom forced him to leave. she blamed him for dads death and told him to leave. she said he was a hazard to us! he would have stayed but he loved us so he left because he believed her." Myles turn and started to walk again then he stopped. "I'm not leaving you guys. I'm going to find answers." Myles started to walk again. He watched his feet move ever so lightly on the ground. He looked up to the sky to see the moon shining bright. It was getting ready to become full in a few days. He came to the Corfu sign and looked at it."This towns so frigen dumb."
    "If you think so then it is!" Myles turned around when he heard someone say something. It was Serenity."Have you been following me?" She smiled at him."No Myles i haven't but i saw you walking all alone so i thought id join you."
    She grabbed his hand and started to walk. Myles was astonished with her behavior."What are you doing?" Myles looked at her with a weird face."What do you mean what am i doing? I'm walking Myles. You do know your walking to" she said sarcastically.Myles laughed."Yeah i know.I just meant don't you have a boy friend. Because i certainly don't want some guy kicking my a** because I'm holding his girl friends hand!"Myles smiled and looked over at Serenity. All she did was giggle."Myles? There's something I have to tell you. I don't know how to say this. Your aunt.She's not human, and neither am I."
    "Wha...what do you mean?" Myles was unsure if she was joking with him. "I mean that I'm not human. Most of us here aren't." Myles let go of her hand."Your messing with me right"he laughed."I wish I were Myles."
    "Then...then what the hell are you?"
    "You don't have to get all tensed up Myles.It's not like im an alien"Serenity looked at him with a frown."Well then tell me what you are"Myles said seriusly.Serenity pulled him by his caller and leand in close to his ear."Im in no doubt a nightmare come true"she whispered in his ear.Then she kissed him.Myles's eyes widened as she did this.Then he smiled and closed his eyes.BEEP! A car honked loudly at them.They hadn't realized they were standing in the middle of a one way road.Serenity turned her head towards the car then grabbed Myles by his arms and jumped clearing the road by 10 feet, they landed on the grass at the side.Serenity was ontop of Myles shielding him.Myles was shocked and not sure of what just happened."Holy s**t! Did you just.Oh My God!"Myles threw Serenity off of him."Thats messed.What the hell are you" Myles said frightend."I told you!"Serenity said sitting up looking at Myles."No thats just not normal! You...You are an alien!"He got up and started to back up on her."Myles please don't be like that.I told you cause I like you and I thought you would understand."She got up to and walked towards him."You told me nothing! All you said was that you wernt human.I thought you were joking."The car that almost hit them had pulled over to the side and a man dressed all in black got out."MOVE KID!" the man yelled at Myles holding up a shot gun.Serenity looked at the man.BANG! She jumped dodging the bullet.Myles got down on the ground and put his hands on his head.The man kept shotting at Serenity but she kept dodging them and made her way up to the guy grabbing the gun and swinging him around and flinging him at him car.The front window smashed.Myles watched from under his arms, scared shitless.The guy pulled out a pepper spray bottles and sprayed it at Serenity.She screamed."Serenity!"Myles got up and started to run towards her.She saw this and went towards him knocking him on his back and running away.He turned and watched her head into the forest that they were by.The man ran after her but was a lot slower then what she was.He went to the edge of the forest then stopped and ran back towards Myles.He grabbed Myles by his caller and moved his head to the side checking his neck out."Did she bite you!"He said roughly."What why would she bite me?!"Myles was really confused now."You fool! Shes a VAMPIRE!"
    Its was some what clear to Myles but still very hard for him to swallow it all in one night."A..A vamp"the man cut him off."PiRE! Yes! more then half the town are vampires."The man grabbed Myles's hand and pulled him to his feet."Where are you from boy?"
    "No where"Myles replied."then where are you going?"
    "No where"Myles said again.The man looked at him weird.He was gruf,unsaven and wore a black trench coat.His hair was almost grey.His looked to be in his late 50's early 60's."Well that wont do you goos in this town.If you don't know where your going how do you know you wont end up in trouble?"Them man put his hand on Myles's shoulder.
    "Because trouble always finds me."Myles started to walk away from the man.He was still trying to prosess all of what happened.He stopped and turned back to the man."Whats the other half?Of the town?"The man Smiled at him."Some are humans.Some are werewolves.And then theres the few like me.Who hunt them both."The man picked up his shot guy and threw it over his shoulder."Whats your name kid?"Myles watched him for a moment."Myles.Names Myles.And yours?"
    "Thelonius."The man smiled again.
    "Thelonius?What kind of name is that?"Myles scrunched up his face."Well its certanly better then the way your face looks right now."Thelonius laughed.Myles threw him the evil eye."You got a place to stay Myles?"
    "No.Well yeah but no."
    "Well what is it kid.You got a place or no?"
    Myles thought for a moment."No.I don't."
    Thelonius pointed to hir car with his gun."Hop in.You can stay with me and I'll tell you all about this town."
    Myles got into the car with Thelonius.They started to drive through the town and passed the club.Myles looked to see if he could find Serenity.He wanted to make sure if she was ok.He thought he saw her amoung the crowed of people."Look at them.Dirty vampires!"Thelonius looked at Myles who was looking out his window.Thelonius never slowed down but speeded up.
    They reached an old shack that was serounded by evergreens.The car came to a slow stop and they both got out."Wow.You live here?"Myles said sarcastically.Thelonius laughed."Well its better then the streets"he smiled.Myles shruged his shoulders."I guess.If you don't mind the fact that the hole place could fall on you while you sleep."They reached the door and Thelonius opened it and the smell of dead animal filled the air."Ah!That stinks!"Myles pluged his nose."Did something die in here!"Thelonius walked in and hung his jacket up and went to the fridge."No!"He said gruchy and pulled out two beers from the fidge.The house was bare.The only thing in there was a couch,table,fridge,and a wood stove.Thelonius grabbed some wood and threw it in the stove.After Thelonius started the fire he lit up a cigar and drake his beer.He sat at the table across from Myles."So.You wanna know what went wrong with this hell hole?"Thelonius took a big swig of his beer and almost finished it."Yeah.I do."Myles sat up straight on his chair."Its all started about 7, 8 years ago.There was a scintist that lived in this house."Thelonius raised his hands showing the house.Myles just nodded his head."He was crazy.Made weird things that freaked the town out.Animals were showing up that were agressive or deformed.Everyone knew he was testing his machine on them.I use to work at the police station.We'd get weird calls saying that a deer was attacking some people in the town or a rabbit that killed someones dog.Weird stuff.Finally the town got sick of this guys creations and started to rant out front on the lawn.A couple of teenage kids broke down his front door and went in.When we got there they had already gone in and by the time we broke the mob up the hole house lit up with a bright light.When we got in the guy was dead.The boys were the only ones there and they claimed that a pale man killed the guy and pressed a button on the machine."Thelnius laughed."Now we arested the boys for first degree murder but one of the boys got away.A few days after the boys were put in jail there was a break out and the boys were missing.After some months we were getting lots of reports of agresive people attacking or in some cases,giant dogs attacking."Thelonius finished his beer and cigar.
    Thelonius looked at myles."The boy who got away.I hear now that he leads the vampires."Thelonius opened up his second beer."And you know that macine the boys talked about.Never found it."Theloinus laughed again.Myles started thinking back to the first night he had got here.How he was the only one up while his family slept."s**t!"myles got to his feet fast."I have to get home! I left my family there with my aunt.I think....I think she might be a vampire!"He ran to the door and Thelonius followed right behind him."You left your family alone with a vampire!"Thelonius opened the car door."I dodn't know at the time!"Myles got in and the moment his sat in his seat Thelonius backed up with great speed.He drove fast way over the speed limit.They reached Myles's house in under 5 mins taking the back roads so that they wouldn't draw attention to themselves.Myles ran out of the car and to the front door.He could hear screams coming from inside.He closed his eyes and hesatated at the door.Thelonius pushed him out of the way and bursted threw the door.The stench of blood filled the air.Thelonius ran threw the house, his shot gun at the ready.Myles walked in.He was almost like a deer in the head lights.The only diference was,he was moving.BANG!
    Myles heard a gun shot from the upstairs.BANG! he heard another.He raced up the stairs to see what the comotion was all about.Blood was all over the ground and bloody handprints on the wall it what he saw as he got to the top.He saw thelonius walk out the room his mother was in.Myles started to walk towards the room."Go on kid.Wait out side.You don't need to see this."Thelonius raised his hand so that myles couldn't get by.Myles sliped under Thelonius's arm and went to the door.He saw his aunt on the ground.Thelonius walked down the stairs and into the living room."Hey! KID! I THINK YOU MIGHT WANNA SEE THIS!"Myles turned around to walk out of his aunts room when he saw her.Zoey was in her room beside her bed on the ground.Myles ran in and knelt down beside her body.
    "Zoey?"He picked up her lifless body and held her in his arms."Com'on girl.Wake up.If you wake up i promiss I'll take you and Jeramey to the amusment park.And we can go on all the rides that you want to do.And I'll even play dollies with you.Ya just gotta get up."Myles started to cry.
    Thelonius had walked back upstairs and was watching Myles.He walked over to him and grabbed his shoulder."There all dead.Im sorry kid.I need to finish them off.If I don't they will turn."Myles pushed Thelonius away."Com'on kid.Why don't you wait out side?"
    Myles gripped tightly to his sisters body."She was so young.She had her hole life ahead of her"he cried.Thelonius grabbed his shoulder this time and pulled him away from Zoey."Go wait out side.I'll be out in a bit."Thelonius pushed Myles towards the stairs.Myles wiped the tears off his face and walked down the stairs.
    He walked threw the kitchen towards the back door.He opened the back door and saw a body on the ground in the middle of the backyard.He went running.He turned the person onto their back and it was his brother.Jeramey gasped for air.His neck was bleeding."JERAMEY!"Myles hugged him tight."What the hell happened?"Jeramey scrunched his face in pain."She....she opened the door"he said while letting out a sigh."Who? WHo opened what door."Myles shook Jeramey a bit."ZOEY! She opened the room to Aunt...aunt.."Jeramey passed out."JERAMEY!JERAMEY!"Myles thought for a moment.He heard Thelonius use his shot gun on the others.He knew Jeramey was still alive.He got up and picked Jeramey up and held him in his arms.He ran over to Thelonius's car and set Jeramey in the back seat."It's okay jeramey.I wont leave you again."
    Myles closed the door and got in the drivers seat.They keys were still in the ignition.He started the car and drove as fast as he could,not knowing where he was going to go.
