S: The Turning: Chapter One

If I get 10 votes on this I will attempt to retouch on this story idea. Please let me know if you're interested in taking my idea and writing something of your own. I would be more than willing to allow you to do so. Message me about this chapter and that you found it in Achieving For The Greater Good. Then, we can work out details so that I can update this post. -DJ

I awake to a sudden gasp of air. I feel hot and sweaty. My fingers barely move to my command and I attempt to pry open my eyes but fail. I lose consciousness. The next time I awake the day has been consumed by night just as I have been consumed by sobriety.

Why is it a secret? Because no one believes me. How do I fight the cravings? Simple. I don't. Only one person believed me back then and only one person believes me now, Sapphire, my best friend.

Approaching my normal morning group of friends I shoot a warning glance toward the boy reaching for Sapphire's back pocket. Her money's sticking out again. I even brought her a wallet for that reason.

Defeated, he slipped away and I slip her money between my fingers as I sit next to her and put my arm around her. "Morning, Jake!" She exclaims excitedly.

I smiled, "Morning. Where's your wallet I bought you ?"

Sapphire frowned.

"Did you actually look for it today?"

"Unless you think a twenty dollar bill looks better in my wallet then I'll answer no."

"Huh?" She exclaimed as she looked at me and then to the hand I had placed on her shoulder.

Angrily, she grabbed the twenty and opened her backpack. "Fine! I'll use it. Gee!"

I laughed, "Just a suggestion."

Frowning, she glared. "Did he try to steal from me again?"

I nodded, "Apparently your butt is very fascinating."

Jeffery shook his head as he remarked. "Psh! The twenty's what he wanted Jake not excessive fat."

Sapphire frowned. "You're just jealous because I have a bigger butt than you do!"

Jeffery laughed, "Of course you do! Because you're fatter than I am!"

Sapphire turned away in anger. "Whatever." She mumbled.

I smiled and pulled Sapphire closer. "Don't worry about him. He's just joking."

Sapphire looked up at me. "Don't try to cheer me up."

I shrugged. "Already did and failed so I quit!" I grinned.

"Stop it with that sharp grin of yours!" She laughed. "Always trying to hide it when we all know you have bigger k-nines than we do!"

Jeffery laughed, "Yea and sharp ones at that. I'm pretty sure if you flashed those bad boys at a robber they'd run like crazy!"

I smiled big and showed my fangs clearly as I laughed.

"Run for the hills!" Org, a friend sitting across from me exclaimed.

It made me happy to know they thought it was a joke. At least I had an excuse if I were ever in denial of my vampire side.
