//------------------------------// // Bad News // Story: My Little Vampire: Blood is Magic // by Najee //------------------------------// Chapter 2: Bad News …Back on Earth… I walked to my Brother's room and knocked on the door, waiting for him to answer. My name is Najmi (Na-gee-mee) Montgomery and I'm an 18 year old Black Teen. Dwoyne is my 16 year old little brother and we live together with our mom. We never met our dad, he was in the Gang life and I and my Brother saw our own Cousin get shot and killed in front of us. I was 15 while Dwoyne was 13 at the time it happened. We used to live in a Gang affiliated life style. Me and Dwoyne were bullied and teased back then, this corrupted me and him and we would go out together and steal…we don't do it, anymore because I discovered that were no different than the Hood Rats of the Hood. We changed our ways and moved out of the Hood when our mom got enough money from her job and the Loans. We now live in a nice Suburban neighborhood with a Bog or Wetlands bordering it. However, despite the move and changing our ways, Dwoyne has taken an interest in the Dark side of things. Ever since the death of our Cousin, he has been wearing a lot of Black and Red and has been isolating himself in his room a lot. I talked to him about it and he tells me how he hates it how all this happened to us. I talked to him about it and after weeks, he cheered up and didn't go into the Darkness that much…but, I wonder whats going to happen when I tell him about our Cousin… I'm a Senior at High school and I'm in the 1st Semester, my brother Dwoyne is a Sophomore and we go to the same School. I drive to the school with our family's 2008 Green Dodge Charger and I bring my Brother with me. I'm 5"8 and I have a medium build, my legs and arms are muscular, but I have no Abs or Pecs. I have Black hair and it's in a Faded haircut that I got yesterday. I am wearing a Jack Skeleton Hoodie that I got from the Mall. The Hoodie has Jack's head on the back of it and instead of a Zipper to zip up the Sweater, it has Silver buttons. The Sweater is Black and it has white stripes on the wrist of the Sweater. The Sleeves and the Hood is Gray. I was wearing Black jeans and Red Nikes; I was also wearing a Silver Lion necklace. I heard footsteps behind the door and Dwoyne opens it and looks at me. He is wearing Head phones while he is holding a picture of our Cousin Jakorri in his hand. "Hey, Najmi, what's happening?" My Brother asked me. Dwoyne had Caramel skin like me, we basically had light brown skin; he had Black hair and it was in a Taper haircut style. He had light brown eyes like me; they get darker when there not in the light, mine stays the same. Dwoyne is 5"7 and has an Average build, he has Abs, and he works out more than me. I don't work out as much because school is really hard and I have to study a lot. Dwoyne is on the Basketball Varsity Team at school. Dwoyne is wearing a Black V-Neck shirt, and a Black and white Rosary made of wood. He had on Black jeans like me and a pair of Black and Red Adidas with a Skull on the back. He has on his Black Snapback that has Drizzy written on the back. Dwoyne really loves tattoos; he has 2 Tattoos on his body. He has a Dragon tattoo on his back and a Tattoo on his left forearm with the word Jakorri and an Angel Wing next to it. Even though he is 16, our mom let him get the Tattoos. I had no Tattoos. I sighed. "Dwoyne…something bad happened…" I said trying to calm myself down. Dwoyne took off his head phones. "What happened?" He asked. "Our Cousin Ricky Jenkins Jr. was shot…" I said bluntly. Dwoyne stared wide eyed at me. "A-Are you serious?" He asked with fear and depression. "Yes…I saw it on the News, today…" Tears were swelling in my eyes. Dwoyne was trying hard not to cry, but he let a few tears go down his cheek and wiped his face with his hands. "Where's mom?" He asked. "She's not home yet, she is still at work. Do…you want to take a walk at the Bog?" I asked. He nodded and went back into his room and put on his Black shades and took his head phones and MP3. I walked to my room and grabbed my own MP3 and ear buds, we loved music. I grabbed the key and walked out of our house; Dwoyne came out of his room and walked on the porch. I used the key to close the door and locked it, I turned to Dwoyne. "Listen, I know your upset about our Cousin, but don't go into the Dark side because of it." I said to him. "Yes, I won't." Dwoyne said. I nodded and I motioned him to follow me, we walked down the sidewalk with the Sun beaming down on us, it was Saturday Afternoon. We finally reached the Bog and the path turned into wood instead of concrete. "Enjoying the walk?" I asked. "No…I still feel bad about it…" Dwoyne said sadly. "I know what you mean…damn, Gangste-AHHH!" I yelled as I tripped over a Log. Something rolled out of the end of the Log when I tripped over it. "Damn…" I said standing up. "Hey, what is that?" Dwoyne asked while pointing at the thing that rolled out of the Log. I looked over at it. "What…the hell is that?" I asked. It was some sort of Black Orb…it had a Blood Drop symbol on it, it looked like a Dragonball from Dragon Ball Z, but instead of having Stars on it and being orange…the Orb was Black with the Blood Drop symbol on it. The Orb was as big as a Baseball… "It's an Orb." Dwoyne said walking over to it. I followed him and I leaned down to pick up the Orb, it felt cool to the touch and it felt smooth. "Yeah, I wonder where it came from." I said while staring at it in my hands. I moved my fingers around it and rubbed the Blood symbol with my fingers. All of a sudden, right after I touched the Blood symbol, Red Smoke started to puff out of the Orb. "Holy crap!" I yelled and threw the Orb in a Pond 1 yard from us; the Orb sank all the way into the clear Pond. However, it was still puffing out the Red Smoke and after a minute…the Pond was no longer clear Water…the Pond Water was now Blood Red… "What the hell?" Dwoyne said in confusion. The Red Water started to boil like as if it was being Heated. We stared in disbelief at it…suddenly, 2 Red Tentacles came out of the Pond and swayed lightly in the air. "Come to me…" We heard a seductive female voice said from in the Pond. The voice was so beautiful and seductive that it put me and my Brother in a trance. We walked towards the Pond and looked up at the tentacles. They came down and wrapped themselves around our waist and dragged us into the Red Waters, the Pond was suppose to be Shallow, but for some strange reason it was as deep as the Ocean. All we saw was Red and the Tentacles just kept pulling us deeper and deeper, in till the sunlight started to fade away. I fainted from lack of Oxygen and the pressure on my head from going down in deep Waters… I woke up gasping for breath to see that I was in a dark forest, the Moon was the only thing that lit up everything, but it wasn't a regular Moon…the Moon was as Red as Blood… "Dwoyne, where are you?" I said standing up. I heard coughing and looked to my right to see Dwoyne stand up. "Here…where are we?" He asked me. "I have no idea, hey look, theres a dirt path right there. Let's go." I said and we walked on the dirt path… …Nearby… Vein and Red were trotting on the path and suddenly…the Scent of the Humans hit their nostrils. "You smell that? It smells like a very yummy Kine…no, theres 2 of them." Vein said. "Yeah, I smell them too. There are Exotic Kines because there blood is different, let's go capture them." Red said. Vein smiled, showing off her fangs and they moved at super speed towards the 2 unsuspecting Humans… …On the Path… I and Dwoyne were trying to find a sign that could lead us to a town. "Najmi, this place is cree-"Dwoyne couldn't finish his sentence as something knocked him in the back of his head and he fainted to the ground. "Wha-!" I tried to say, but I felt something hard…a Hoof…hit me in the back of my head. I fell to the ground and just before I fainted…I saw 2 Horses…or Ponies hiding in Cloaks with glowing eyes and a pair of Vampire fangs smiling at me. "V-Vampires…" I whispered before I fainted and saw darkness…
