~~~ [START]
[HOURS LATER]
The door slammed when Vlad entered.
Moving to the sofa, he smiled when he noticed the newly brought mattress and bedsheets slung on the wall near it.
He carried the bed with one hand, its springs singing from the grips alone.
Walking up the stairs to his room, and placing the bed by the corner, making sure to hide his coffin inside the closet, before he sank into its embrace.
Exhaling from the softness of its clean soft sheets.
He then quickly grabbed his phone and moved to the messages.
[ "Sup, woman. I saw the bed." ] The message was brief, but a smile embraced his lips when he saw her typing back.
But after waiting for a reply.
His eyes instantly widened, his body lifting from the bed, nearly breaking it.
Eyes now turned glowing red, and veins showed on his neck.
It couldn't be real; there was no way she was right.
—---------------------------------
{ELSEWHERE}
"Hey, where are you running to?" a drunk man asked, being accompanied by his friends as they surrounded Bella from the corners.
"Sup, girl," another one teased. "Let me hold that dress."
Bella stumbled as one of them obstructed her way.
"Come hang out with us." He reached out his hand, nearly grabbing her shoulder, but she bolted backward, evading his touch. "Fuck… what's the problem? You don't wanna have some fun?"
Another one grabbed her shoulders from the back.
"Don't touch me!" She swung her arm, nudging him aside.
"Oh… feisty."
Another grabbed her weight.
"Ah!"
But she kicked him in the balls before he could pull her closer.
Then, a gray Volvo suddenly drifted from the far left, moving at high speeds as it pulled over beside them, inches from running them over.
"Edward?"
The owner rushed out the door.
"Get in the car!" He neared the men, his eyes burning cold, fists clenched, and jaw tightened.
"Fuck man, you almost ran us over." One man scratched out a hand, nearly pushing Edward's chest.
But compulsion flickered, twisting into something sinister.
And all of them felt it; the sudden shift in the atmosphere.
Edward's fists grew tighter, his mouth grunting, his exposed teeth growing by the second.
The men slowly started backing away, hearts beating louder as they observed his slightly bent stance.
And just like that, they now stood at a distance apart; adrenaline was trying its hardest to tell them to flee.
Edward moved back, eyes still focused, while entering his car, and just as swiftly as he came, as swiftly they disappeared.
The Volvos' tires were screaming from the speed alone, leaving the drunk men to wonder what they had just witnessed.
—--------
"Tell me to go back and rip their heads off!" He shouted, hands clenching the steering wheel as the car sped up.
"No, you shouldn't!" Bella's eyes widened, staring dead straight at the oncoming road.
"You don't know the vile, repulsive things they're thinking."
"And you do?"
Her hands clenched harder on the seat.
The car drifted onto the highway; Edward's foot slammed harder onto the pedal.
"Talk about something else!" He sneered, eyes glowing golden, far brighter than usual. "Destruct me so I won't turn around!"
"Wear your seat belt!"
"Wear my seat belt?" laughter broke from his lips when he said it, his hands still trembling, eyes still brightly opened without blinking. "You wear your seat belt!"
—---------------------------
Back to the place they drove from, the five men straggled to straighten themselves.
Their eyes were still blazing from what they saw.
But then a shadow descended behind them, walking at a slow pace, its head slightly bent and fixing its eyes on the floor.
It didn't take long for them to notice it.
"The fuck are you looking at…"
The shadow's hand slashed sideward through his neck, cutting the head completely, as it fell, rolling to the floor while the rest just looked in utter shock.
They didn't run; they couldn't
They didn't scream; trying was only futile.
They just stared at it, as its subhuman-like state cut off their heads one by one.
The blood sprayed onto the streets like a fountain, mixing with their beers, birthing a scent that a few, including the shadow itself, would consider manageable.
In nothing less than a breath, they had all become headless.
—------------------------
Vlad blinked, his conscience returning in an instant.
His eyes turned to his hands, and they widened as they witnessed the blood dripping to the floor while slowly drying because of the wind.
His breathing hitched, heart pounding to the ribs. The heat rushed to the neck. As he moved his hands to his face, he nearly gagged from the fragrance alone, the scent crawling up his neck.
"No…"
His voice sounded more like a whisper, his feet instinctively stumbling back.
"I… no." Maybe it was too late as the realisation sank in.
They were dead.
