As soon as I'd finished the first bag, Peter pressed another into my hand. I took it happily, feeling hungrier than I'd expected, and drained it quickly. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand then looked up at Peter. "Better?" He asked, his fangs out still. I just nodded as he took the empty bag off me and threw it into a nearby bin. He took my hand then led me out of the door we came through, into the dark night. "So, food without faces. Good, huh?" He smiled as he led me round the front of the building. "Yeah, much better." I smiled back. "But I want food now, like should I be craving burger and chips? I feel like I could eat a horse" Peter laughed. "Yeah, that happens sometimes. I need ice cream right now, so do you want to go to the little american-style diner round the corner from here? My treat" He grinned. "Sure, why not?" Was my reply as he led the way.
It didn't take long to get to the diner but we didn't go in. There was an alley beside it and I flinched at the sight. "You're such an odd vampire" Peter commented quietly but he smiled as he said it. "What do you mean?" I asked, taking offence. "You're scared of an alley when you're probably the scariest and strongest thing here" He replied. "I am not scared" I lied. "Prove it" He said, indicating for me to go ahead. Maybe I was a fool for going down there because what I found I didn't like. Peter waited at the entrance of the alley for me, watching me closely, but he couldn't see me when I got nearer to the end. It was there I saw something I didn't like. There was a little girl cowering in the corner, shaking with fear, as two men stood over her. "She be one of us soon, Hardy" The chubbier one of the two said. Hardy laughed. "She will be, my friend, and a perfect little vampire she will make" I hissed now, it seemed like a natural reflex, and they both swerved round to face me. "Ooh look, Hardy. She's so purdy." The chubby one grinned, fangs showing. "Give me the girl" I growled. "She's ours. We change her, we get her. Those are the rules." Hardy replied. "Screw the rules, the girl is mine now" I growled. "Fight me for her then" He grinned. "You win, you get the girl. I win, I get to change you" I bounded towards them and, before Hardy knew what was going on, had grabbed him in a tight headlock. "Hate to break it to you, Hardy," I slurred. "I'm already a vampire."
