Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Near Death Experience

Raining again, I hate the rain. I think to myself as I get ready to leave work and head home. I wish I could get my driver's license, but with how bad my eyes are it's not safe for me to be on the road. I lock up the shop and open my umbrella, beginning the three mile walk from the small deli that I work at to my tiny apartment. I can see a person running my way, he looks scared. I try to move to the side, but he grabs me and starts shaking me then he opens his mouth to speak. and I open my mouth to tell him to get away from me, then he shoves something in my mouth and holds his hand over it until I swallow before he speaks "I hope you survive this."

After forcing me to swallow whatever it is he did, I run to an alley mouth a few yards away and try to vomit whatever it its that the man gave me, but I can't and while I'm not paying attention I don't hear the two men who came up to me, until they speak. "Hello sir have you happened to see a man come this way?" the one asks and I look up seeing him and his partner who looks to be pretty shady.

"What, no I haven't seen a man come this way, look around it's raining, if I didn't have to walk home from work, I wouldn't be outside right now." I say weakly

"Why are you trying to puke kid" the second guy the shady one says "Did the old man give you something against your will."

'Shit' I think to myself he looks crazy but he's at least smart enough to catch on that I might not be feeling well, "No I just ate a bad sandwich, sometimes that happens." I reply, but the first guy pulls out a knife

"Sorry but my buddy here thinks the old man must've given you something, and you've seen us so I have to kill you now." A second later the blade of the knife is buried in my stomach. The men hurry on thinking that I'll bleed out. I try to get up into a sitting position, and after I do that I prop the umbrella up over my body. A few minutes later I think I hear a noise, but there is no one near me when I let the umbrella drop to look, then I hear it again; 'ding-dong' [Host has crossed the threshold system initializing, due to the host's excessive blood loss you will be forced into emergency feeding mode.] the voice says it seem mechanical and inside my head, but I also feel my body being healed so at the moment I don't care, that is until I feel the hunger it is so intense that I feel myself losing consciousness, and then I black out.

Some time later I come to, I'm in front of my apartment, my clothes are ripped and I'm covered in blood, so I make my way to the shower, and after I finish scrubbing the blood from my body I realize that it isn't mine, as my wounds have healed, my brain hurts from trying to figure it out and I'm tired with a day off to figure it out tomorrow I finish toweling dry and go to bed. After tonight's near death experience I just want to sleep.
