warnings: has mentions of blood, if that makes you uncomfortable please don’t read 🫰🏽🫰🏽
also extremely under proofread sorry
You had been friends with Arvid and Franco now for a while, since childhood. They were the only two homeschooled children in town.
Though you still found ways to connect with them, no matter what. Every time you had a break at school you would hang out with both of them. Like your own trio.
What you always found weird about them both, is that they never came out during the day. Always either excuses how they were busy, had plans, or their parents didn’t let them out that day. Though when you asked to hang out during the night. They were always up for it, if it were outside their house or inside. Always a yes.
Though you’re all basically grown adults now. Franco 20, You 19, and Arvid 18. You had free will and were able to do whatever you guys pleased to.
On this particular night, everything changed.
Franco had sent a text message your guys’ group chat.
**New message from: trio of doom and despair**
Franco🧉: anyone wanna go eat at the new restaurant? everything is on me
Arvid‼️: hah, if it’s on you then I don’t see why not. wbu y/n??
Y/N☁️: sure, what time though?
Franco🧉: is 8:30PM today good with everyone?
**seen by y/n☁️, franco🧉**
after a while, it was finally 8:30. Arvid and franco came a bit earlier than you, whilst you were walking to the table you heard them murmuring,
“it’s a quick one and done.”
“while she’s distracted, just bit—“
they immediately stopped once they saw you getting near the both of them. Arvid shoved Franco with his elbow.
“franco you’re way too funny man!”
“huh? I didn’t even say anything funn—“
Arvid quickly murmured something Franco’s ear, only words you were able to hear were, “shut up.”
When you were finally closer they both greeted you with those polite smiles they always had around you.
“Hiya, y/n!” Franco smiled softly then glanced at Arvid
“Hello, y/n.” Arvid gave a slight nod and smirk was he greeted you.
You sat down in the booth seat in front of them.
“Hi Franco and Arvid!!” You waved to the both of them excitedly, you looked at the menu for the restaurant, you ordered baked ziti. Classic.
After Arvid and Franco placed their orders, they started whispering to each other. You felt left out and had a small frown on your face.
They didn’t care, it seemed like they had other things on their mind instead of just you.
“dude, treat her nice until the whole.. shenanigan..” Franco whispered
“aren’t we already treating her well? her favorite food is Italian and I mean, look where we brought her.” Arvid said in an annoyed tone
“ahem,” you said slightly audibly, “I’m right here.. and what do you mean by shenanigan Franco—“
“He means nothing! We are just.. discussing something important. Right Franco?”
You looked at them both, clearly sensing some sort of strange tension. First at Franco, extremely fidgety with his finger which he never did. He kept doing a stupid thing where he’d wipe his hands on his jeans cause they were sweaty or something.
then you glanced over at Arvid, complete opposite of Franco. He was actually composed and kept a basic straight face the whole time, he seems annoyed. His jaw clenched slightly in irritation, after having to talk to Franco’s ditzy-self.
“Are you guys alright? I feel like I should let you guys solve this on your own—“ Arvid cut you off.
“Nonono! We are fine! Franco is just being a bit slow as usual you know?.. haha.. hah”
“instead of this whole arguing thing between you two guys, I’d rather want a bagged bagel from a deli at this point.”
After everyone got their food and then finished it, Franco and Arvid immediately headed to the bathroom. When they came back they looked a bit sickly.
“Are you guys alright?.. was it the food or something? Oh my god I’m so so sorry!!” You quickly blurted out
The shook their heads and explained that they had a bit of an upset stomach.
You nodded and believed them. You always did, no matter what.
You all headed to Franco’s house after he paid for the food. He said he had a surprise especially for you. When you entered the house it was a bit warm.
His place didn’t really have bright lights, mostly lit by candles and warm lighting coming from small lamps.
“Nice place you got Franco!” Arvid added.
You nodded also, it did seem pretty cozy in here.
“Thanks, I try not to get much light from big lights since they kinda hurt my eyes.”
“That’s alright, I love the lighting.” You smiled softly, you kept looking around his house until you saw a small box that could probably hold a tiny gift. Franco looked at you the Arvid.
Once he glanced at Arvid he nodded and began speaking to you,
“That’s your gift Michelle, feel free to open it.”
You gasped audibly, you smiled. What could it be? A bracelet? A set of earrings? A neck—
Out of nowhere, almost suddenly. You had two hands on your wrist, one tangled in your hair with a tight grasp, and another one behind your head.
“G-Get the fuck off me! You assholes what are you doing?!”
“Cállate,” Franco scoffed, he let go of the back of your head for a second. Just to give you a quick hard slap across your face, a red handprint bloomed across the skin of your face.
Squirming left to right, hair getting pulled until— two sets of fangs quickly started biting down onto the flesh of the curve of your neck near your collarbones on both sides. Four sharp teeth tearing down into your flesh on both sides
You let out a screech, yelp, and scream all mixed into one.
It hurt. It hurt like hell for fucks sake.
You felt the warm blood trickling down your neck down to your collarbones, then chest. The nauseating smell of copper hit your nose. It made you feel a wave of disgust and revulsion.
“You’re fucking delectable.” Arvid murmured into your wounds. He looked up at you with that stupid smirk he always had when he was extremely cocky. You used to adore and love it, but right now? The only emotion you had towards the both of them was loathing.
“I’ve never had someone’s blood taste this sweet.” Franco chuckled.
You were able to catch a glimpse at the both of them surprisingly somehow. Both their eyes glowing a dark red.
In that moment the full grotesque realization hit you.
You weren’t gonna be able to make it out here alive tonight. They were starving.
