Life's Passing

Ashley's POV.

We sat watching the news as weatherman spoke. This was supposed to be the worst snow in twenty years. They were calling for a foot and a half. I didn't like this. I missed my sunny L.A. weather. I looked out the window to see that it had already started snowing. Great.

I almost got up and went to bed when my phone buzzed. It was Andy.

Andy: Heyy. We've ben drinkn cann you come get us?//?

I let out a sigh. Jake looked at me confused. "There drunk." I said standing up and grabbing the keys to my rental and my jacket. I didn't even let the car heat up. I just took off. Charleston was about twenty minutes away. Far enough that I had to get on the interstate. The roads were starting to get bad and it was pissing me off. When was Andy going to get good and this vampire thing. What if someone found out about us?. How in the hell are we to explain all of this?

I took the Lee St. exit and drove to the front of the club they were at. Something called Atmosphere. I heard loud music thudding from the door as I looked around curiously. I saw a girl outside smoking. She was ridiculously tall. At that moment Andy and Juliet were walking out the front door. Probably smelling that I was here. Juliet fell into the back seat of the car while Andy climbed into the passenger seat. "I still think she wants your number, Andy." Juliet slurred. "Nope. No thank you. I've got you babe." He responded. They broke out laughing and I looked at Andy in confusion. He shook his head and I took that as the end of the conversation. I turned back to the tall woman who was waving at Andy now, then had to do a double take. " Yep," Andy said. "That's a man." And with that I was done. I speed off leaving Charleston behind wanting to do nothing more than spend the rest of my night in bed.

Half way there. I thought looking into the rear view mirror. Juliet was passed out in the back seat and Andy knew better than to talk to me when I was upset. He stared out the window at the falling snow thinking hard about something. I noticed every now and then he would scratch at the same spot on his chest like there was something under his skin. What the hell did they get into tonight. I gripped the steering wheel and drove threw the last couple of roads to our home.

Andy had had to pull Juliet out of the car and carry her inside. I ignored everyone when I walked in, going straight to my room. I fell onto my bed and kicked my pants off then wrapped myself around the blankets. I could feel that sleep was about to come and it was going to be great.

I could feel a darkness around me and knew that I was dreaming. I stood in an empty alley way as I watched people pass by. I could feel that son of these people were good, and others not so much. I felt anger when the bad walked by. I wanted to end them. They were vermin that littered the street and needed to be stopped. "Eros." I quickly turned around to see who had spoken to me but there was no one there. I turned to look back at the street and heard it again. "Eros." Oh god! I was going crazy like Andy. Hearing voices and everything. "Bawa." It said next and I backed up against the wall trying to feel less vulnerable. " Fix what the others cant". It said. I looked back out to the street and saw a woman. She had a negative glow about her. I quickly ran to her and snatched her up bringing her back into the dark alley.

She tried to scream but I quickly covered her mouth. "Learn what she has done." The voice said. I looked to the woman and noticed the tears streaking down her face. How beautiful that someone so bad could possess the ability to feel sorrow I thought. I leaned in and kissed her on the mouth. As I did this I felt her memories flood my mind. She was evil after all. She had a son who she beat on the daily. Turned tricks at night for heroin money. Stop from family and coworkers. She was scum. I leaned away from her and as she began to plead with me I lost all patients. I put my hands on either side of her face, looking into her eyes one last time, then with a strength that was new to me snapped her neck and she fell to the ground.

Notes

This snow storm is legit. I'm up to 15,16 inches of snow. Lets just say I'm not going anywhere for a while
