June 19th, 1999 11:23 p.m. Miami, Florida - The Apocalypse Dance Club

Nick looked at himself in the rearview mirror and slicked his hair back, licking his lips and smiling. "Feeding time," he said with a laugh. He got out of his car and shut the door, looking at the club in front of him. He strided over to the bouncer with a grin. "I can get in right?" Nick asked looking at the bouncer deep in the eyes, entrancing him.

"Sure, come on in," he said as Nick laughed. "Sucker," he said opening the door and looking out at the fresh meat. "Mmm, I love the smell of blood in the night," he said clapping his hands together. "Hey Nick, nice to see you here buddy," A.J. said as Nick nodded. "Hey A.J., see any girls I can enjoy?" Nick asked as A.J. grinned. "This is my dance club, enjoy any of them!" A.J. said as Nick nodded. "I owe you," Nick said clapping his hand and looking for his meal. He was hearing for a strong pulse, one that when he sank his teeth into their neck it would taste so sweet and pure he could enjoy it.

"Hi," a girl next to him said. He grinned at the shape of her body, perfect in every way for his feast. "Hi," he said smiling. "I'm Nick." "Jeanette," she said as he kissed her hand. "Lovely name," he said as she giggled. "Wanna dance?" She asked as he nodded. As they danced he brushed his hand up to her neck, feeling the vein that he craved to endure. "I want to show you something," Nick whispered into her ear. He took her delicate hand into his and walked out of the dance club into the dark alley. His favorite part of the nights was the alleys.

"What is it?" She asked as he kissed her. She gladly returned the kiss as he moved down to her neck. His fangs came out at the night; she giggled as his teeth sinked into that vein that called his name. The sweet taste of her blood, his nectar, endured him as he covered her mouth and sank in harder. Her body fell to the ground as Nick licked his lips, feeling his body warm, then again chill.

"Oh my God," a girl said as Nick looked to her. As soon as she blinked he was at her covering her mouth. "You didn't see this did you?" He asked as he felt water on his hand, tears were coming out of her body, her eyes. He let her go and wiped his hand. "Sick!" "What…what are you?" She asked wiping her eyes. "I'm like anyone who has a craving, I just crave more than most," he said as she smiled. He looked at her body, she was beautiful human, the first he'd ever seen. Her green eyes shined into his as he looked at her with uncertainty. "Do you crave me?" She asked as he shook his head. "For some reason I do not, I am some what, intrigued by your appearance. Who are you?" He asked. "My name you mean?" She asked. "Yes, yes of course," he said begging to know anything about her. "My name is Kathryn, Kathryn Brooke, who are you? Do you have a name?" She asked. "No I can't tell you, I…" he looked at her vein as it pierced through her skin. "I must go, I can't stay," he said as she shook her head. "Please don't go!" She said as he shook his head. "I'm sparing your life, don't make this hard," he said as he sighed. He was directly at his car; he got in and started it.

As he drove onto the highway, he watched as the police cars drove by, a sly grin on his face. "Oh…was there an accident?" He asked laughing. He then thought of Kathryn again, how beautiful her face was and how delicate her body felt against his. He couldn't believe he let someone go, he never let a person go but for some reason…she was different.

He opened the door to his tiny apartment, suitable for his lifestyle. "Hey Fang," Nick said petting his golden retriever. "What did I get tonight? Some girl named Jeanette. Stupid name huh?" Nick said understanding whatever the dog said. "I let a girl go today, her name is Kathryn. She's entrancing, she is the first human I had second thoughts about killing," Nick said sitting on his bed and closing his eyes. He started remembering Jamie, everything about her. "No Fang I didn't get you a limb, I didn't have any time I had to leave faster than I thought," Nick said interrupted of his thoughts by his dog.

"Hey Nick, come down here I got something for ya!" Nick's friend Seth said at the ground of the apartment. Seth was another vampire Nick met 3 years back. "What is it I'm busy!" Nick yelled to him. "Let me go!" The girl screamed as Nick ran down the stairs. He saw two girls standing in front of Seth. "Pick one, they're hookers," Seth said with a laugh. "I already ate tonight," Nick said with a sigh. Even though his craving had not been completed, one was enough. "Come on! I've already had 2 tonight! If I have two more I'll explode, just take this one," Seth said pushing the blonde to him. "Where are we supposed to do this?" Nick asked. "There's fine," Seth said pointing to the apartment dumpsters. As Nick sank his teeth into the girl's vein he tasted sickening things that made him spit it out. He threw her to the ground as he choked. "What's wrong?" Seth asked throwing the other girl into the dumpster. "She had drugs or something in her, tastes like shit," Nick said as the girl laughed at him. "Shut up hoar," Seth said snapping her neck. "You okay?" He asked. "Yeah, I'm going to rest for tonight, I feel funny today," Nick said helping throw the girl's body into the dumpster. "Talk to Mark," Seth said as Nick turned to him. "Why?" "He'll tell you why you're in love with a human," Seth said as Nick sighed. "I hate when you read my mind," Nick said as Seth laughed. "Talk to him Nick! He knows everything about our kind!" Seth yelled as Nick slammed his door. He wasn't in love with a human, a girl, an anything. He would never see her again anyways…or maybe not.
