New blood /// klance

I walked around the woods silently as I looked for something to feed off of, the people who live in my town have been extremely worried about all the recent deaths of animals lately.

That's my families fault. You see, I am a vampire, I need to feed off something and if I were to kill a human it would raise a lot more eyebrows so, we try to stay low and kill animals.

Though their blood is tasteless and bland it's all we can have, unless of course we want to be constantly moving but we did that before and it sucked. Now my family just lives in this small town.

But, once a year my family and I go out and hunt on one human, it's like how some human families only go out for dinner on special occasions.

Sometimes if my family is anxious we will even go to the morgue and feed off the fresher bodies that still have fresh blood inside.

"Keith! Keith! get over here!" My mother yelled to me

I walked over to her soundlessly "yes?" I questioned hiding behind a tree with her

"theres someone coming" she said never glancing over at me all her concentration elsewhere

"Why the hell would someone be walking down these woods this late at night?" I asked finally hatching my eye on a man walking down the dirt path

"Drunks, kids, who knows" she said

"Can we kill him?" I asked growing slightly excited

"No, the towns people will notice, there's not enough planning" she said. I could tell she was hungry for a beating heart, she was practically drooling as we spoke

I rolled my eyes and got up, I walked over towards the random man walking in the woods, though I could hear my mom yell curses at me as I continued.

"Hello" i said with a devilish smile

"W-wha?!" The man gasped turning around quickly to look at me, I must've startled him

"I thought I was alone out here" he said

"Well you aren't, what are you doing out here?" I asked with a smirk walking closer to him

"Walking" the man said in an annoyed tone

As he spoke I couldn't stop looking at his neck, that building vein and oh how amazing it would taste to just bite into him and kill him.

But I can't, I shouldn't. but the thought of what human blood would taste like burned my tongue.

"Kid?" The man said looking to me

"Huh?" I questioned not realizing he'd been talking to me

"I asked what are you doing out here" he answered now growing annoyed again

"Oh I live around here but I like going on walks here to clear my mind" I answered smiling slightly to make him feel comfortable

"Oh, I've never seen you around here" he replied

I shrugged "guess I'm a good hider" I said with a wink
I have always been a somewhat good liar, I've been pretty much doing it my entire life anyway.

After I talked to the man for awhile I tried making my move but just as I did my whole family stepped in, leaving nothing for me... like always.
