'Went out for a run. Be back after school.' That was the note Luke left behind for his uncle who was still sleeping, the boy, seven foot ten, ducked under the doorway out of his house and took off running. Today was a good day for a run, it wasn't raining and it was very early in the morning, around five am to be exact. No one was out on the streets, the town was quiet. Sane people were sleeping. Luke was up before the sun and going on his daily run. Today was about distance and not speed, so he kept up a steady rhythm. Enjoying the beat his shoes made against the pavement as he ran along the side of the road.
He'd been moving for an hour and had left the town far behind, the woods were the only thing he could see in any direction he turned. It was nice. Calming. He wasn't aware of it, but he was quite close to the mansion the Cullen family lived in. He was also unaware that he was being followed. Stalked. By someone with red eyes. He kept his running up, he had his headphones on and he was listening to music and suddenly, some deeply ingrained sense told him something was wrong so, he came to a halt. He was breathing hard, sweat ran down his face, following the scar on his face which went from under his left eye to nearly his chin. Removing the headphones from his ears, he listened.
"Who's there?"
The vampire in the trees above enjoyed the hunt, he liked it when his prey was aware they were being watched. It made the hunt so much more fun! He licked his lips. He'd lure the boy away from the main road into the woods where he could play with his food before killing it. He'd only been turned a few months ago and already showed signs of being very dangerous. He watched Luke for a moment, observing him.
Luke dropped into a fighting stance and listened, looking all around, "I'm warning you, I know how to protect myself." he said and the vampire giggled from overhead and Luke jumped, but didn't let his guard down.
"You may know how to defend yourself against people like yourself....but not against me. Never against me." he was never very stable when he'd been human, as a vampire, he was almost insane. "Run. Maybe I'll let you live if you can escape."
Luke scowled, "I'm not running. Get your ass down her cocoapuffs!" he snarled, "I'm not afraid!"
The vampire jumped down and landed in front of him. Luke staggered back and into the street, but then he steeled himself and took up the stance again, standing sideways to provide a small target, staying on the balls of his feet so he could move in any direction. Arms up to defend himself. The vampire blinked and then laughed. He was going to kill this foolish boy and gorge himself on his blood. He was VERY tall and very strong, he'd be strengthened by him for a long time.
