The Unknown

Ally

I walk into work and go to the spot i saw that man yesterday hoping he’d be there again today when i get there i see he’s not there, i frown and go back to the counter.

“Why did i even check to see if he was there, i don’t even know his name” i say to myself and try not to think about him.

My phone starts ringing and i see it’s my mother. “Hello mom” i say knowing what she’s about to ask.

“Ally im calling to see if you’ve changed your mind on college”

yep i knew it, she never calls to check on me or see how im doing it’s always about going to college.

“No mother, i have not changed my mind” i say to her preparing myself for the words that are about to strike me.

“Ally Raven Cole, you know you are never going to go anywhere or be anything unless you go to school, you’re going to be broke and have nothing”

my mother never fails to make me hate myself, she always finds something to use against and hurt me

“Mother i’m sorry but im not changing my mind, i’m not going” i hear her sigh over the phone, great i pissed her off and now she’s going to be more hateful

“ You know Ally me and your father have done nothing but give you and your brothers everything you could’ve dreamed of and this is how you repay us, you are very selfish Ally, don’t come crying for help when you have no money and have to sleep under a bridge”

i try to hold back the tears from my mothers words, i go to say something but i hear someone walk in, i look up and see him.

he’s in a suit today. He looks at me and starts walking over to me, i don't reply to my mother i just tell her goodbye and hang up. “Good morning Ally” he says and i can feel my checks getting red, “Good morning” i say to him and he stares into my eyes, we both stare at each other, i go to ask him what his name is but before i can get any words out he says “Good bye Ally” then he walks out the store, i stare at the door hoping he’d turn around and come back inside but i see him get in his car and drive off. What? What did he mean by “Goodbye Ally”. I try not to think about it and go back to work. 

After work i decided to walk home, probably not a good idea because now it's pouring rain, it was sunny and beautiful outside when i left, Seattle is so confusing. When i get home i changed and go take a shower, i sit down in the shower and start crying, everything is a mess in my life, my parents are practically disowning me, i have no friends, my apartment is shitty and falling apart, i barley have any money, everything is just so fucked.

After i left the book store i went to feed, i drove for about an hour and found a bar filled with a bunch of drunk men, i waited outside for one of them to walk out, i waited for almost 30 minutes till i saw a man in his late 30’s walk out he’s alone so i walk over to him looking around making sure no one is watching, “Sir can you please help me, i can’t get my car to start and i'm supposed to meet my wife in 5 minutes, she’ll kill me if she finds out i went to the bar'' i say hoping he’d buy it, he looks at me and nods, i walk him over near a aley and push him against the brick wall he looks me in the eyes and tries to say something but my hand is holding his throat so he can’t speak “Don’t be afraid” i say and my eyes go black as i bite down on his neck draining the blood from his body, i feel his body turn cold and soon i no longer hear his heart beating. I move him to a dumpster in the alleyway, throwing him in it. I walk out the aley and go back to my car to drive back home. 

When I got home I took a shower and started thinking of Ally. I know I shouldn't be thinking of her, I want to know more about her, I want to see her everyday, I want her. I know I can't have her, she doesn’t deserve to be put through my life, I need to stay away from her, I have to stay away from her.

It’s been two weeks since i last saw him, i walk into work everyday hoping id see him or he’d walk in, but he never did.

“Why do i care, i saw him twice why do i keep hoping id see him again” i say to myself while i'm getting ready to go home.

As i'm walking home i spot a bar 

“Fuck it i need a drink or 20” i say and walk into the bar

when i get in there i see a couple people its only 4:30 so i doubt many people would be here, i go and sit at the bar and order a whiskey and coke, after i finshed my drink i order another and then another and another one drink turned into 5 glasses of whiskey and 10 tequila shots.

i decided i’ve had enough so i close out and walk outside, it’s now dark and freezing “Fuck it’s cold” i say hugging my arms around my body, i start walking home when i hear someone walking behind me, i see a older guy behind me i pay no mind to him until he grabs my arm and turns me around holding me to his body, i can smell the alcohol on him, i move around trying to get him off of me.

“Hey pretty girl, what you doing out here by yourself” the guy says still not letting go of me, “Get the fuck off me you fucking creep” the guy laughs at my failed attempts to get away from him,”How bout i take you to my house, i can make you feel good” he smiles at me and i try to hold back from throwing up looking at his missing teeth and the smell on his breath, “No get away from me asshole” i keep trying to get away from him but being drunk isn’t helping, my body is barley working and the cold weather isn’t helping. He starts dragging me into an alley and all i can do is scream, he pushes me up against the wall and starts talking but i can’t understand what he’s saying, i keep screaming and trying to get him away he puts his hand over my throat and slams my head on the wall knocking me out.

I’m driving home from Chris’s house when i see a bar i go to when i have nothing else to do, i pull into a parking spot and get out my car, i start walking towards the door when i hear someone scream in the alley.

i walk towards whoever is screaming and i see a man holding a girl up against the wall, i start walking to them when i notice who the girl is.

Ally

i see him grab her neck and slam her against the brick wall, i run to him and pull him off her, i immediately smell the alcohol on his breath i hold his neck and look down at Ally on the ground, i can hear her heartbeat so i know she’s okay, while im looking at Ally i forget im holding the man's neck, i move my eyes so there on the man and i see his body is limb in my hands his heart is no longer beating.

“Oh well” i say and drop his body on the ground and go to pick up Ally.

I hold her in my arms and take her to my car, i place her in the passenger seat and buckle her seatbelt.

"What the fuck am i doing" i say to myself looking over at her in my passenger seat, her chest moving up and down slowly

I get home and get Ally out the car and take her inside, walking up the stairs i smell the alcohol on her

"Stupid little human, if only you knew the dangers that roam this town"

I lay her down on my bed i reach my hand to softly touch her face, she flinches a little in her sleep from my cold touch, i watched her for a few more minutes then leave the room not wanting to think about her anymore

I sit in my office and think about her

she's all i can think about and i don't know why

"What is she some witch, cursed me and now i can't get her off my mind" I say to myself trying to trying to think about anything else but her
