" I'm Michael, by the way, " He figured introducing himself might put the girl at ease, especially since he was bombarding her with questions.

                  SHE   HAD   BEEN   FAR   TOO   DISTRESSED   TO   REALIZE   HE   WAS   being   playful   until   he   started   speaking   again.   He   had   a   bike   too,   and   had   more   experience   working   on   them   than   she   did.   She   should   probably   change   that   if   she   was   going   to   keep   this   bike.   It   would   just   have   to   go   on   her   ever   growing   list,   “   Michael,   ”      her   voice   soft,   breathing   a   sigh   of   relief   to   have   a   name   with   his   face.   Her   body   was      also   relaxing,   “   I’m   Tammy.   ”   she   greeted,   flashing   him   a   smile   of   her   own.   This   situation   seemed   less   threatening   now   that   they   established   names,   however,   that   never   really—   okay,   she   was   jumping   to   conclusions.   Her   father’s   training   was   starting   to   get   irritating.                   TAMMY   GESTURED   TO   HER   BIKE,   A   SMALL   WAY   TO   LET   him   know   that   he   was   safe   to   approach.   After   that   gesture   she   placed   her   hands   in   the   back   pocket   of   her   jeans,   “   Yeah,   it's   an   older   one.   It   was   my   dad’s.   He   said   I   could   have   it   if   I   wanted   it,   ”   Tammy   looked   down   at   it   with   a   certain   fondness,   “   I   don’t   know   much   about   them,   but   it   was   working   fine   this   morning   and   the   months   before.   ”

    𝗶𝘁  𝘄𝗮𝘀  𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀  𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲  𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀  𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁  𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱  𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘆  𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁  𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆  𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱  𝗯𝗲  𝗮  𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹  𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿.   well  as  normal  as  they  could  be  for  someone  who  was  trained  to  hunt  and  kill  monsters  like  they  were.   teasing  tammy  about  boys  could  be  a  conversation  that  most  people  dismissed,  even  if  they  were  teasing  her  about  her    𝗰𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵   on  a  vampire,  which  was  ridiculous  as  well  as  amusing.   pushing  their  sunglasses  up  to  the  top  of  their  head,  blonde  strands  moving  back  out  of  their  face  as  they  gave  her  a  smirk,   "   sure,  that's  exactly  what  you  think,  boys  are  ew,    "   mercy  teased,  a  playful  look  on  their  face  as  they  moved  to  lean  against  the  railing  as  they  looked  at  her,   "   you  don't  have  to  talk  to  him  to  stake  him,  which  is  what  you  should  be  doing,  not  making  friends,    "   they  pointed  out,  playful  tone  still  obvious  because  they  completely  understood  that  it  wasn't  as  easy  as  they  had  been  led  to  believe.   but  this  group  was    𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁,   they  couldn't  just  kill  one,  they  would  have  to  take  them  all  out.   yet  the  moment  tammy  brings  up  the  pretty  girl  from  the  video  store,  it  was  mercy's  turn  to  blush  slightly,  not  hugely  obvious,  just  a  slight  raise  of  pink  to  the  cheeks,   "   she's  kinda  impossible  not  to  notice   .   .   .   plus  she's  always  got  great  film  recommendations,    "

               A   FLEETING   CRUSH   WAS   ALL   IT   WAS   AND   WILL   BE.   TAMMY   could   never   have   the   stomach   to   actually   talk   to   anyone   she   found   attractive—   wait,   that   would   be   a   lie.   Granted,   Michael   came   to   her   first,   but   she   was   still   able   to   talk   with   him.   Beside   the   point,   Mercy   was   right.   He   was   a   vampire,   and   that’s   what   she   was   trained   all   her   life   to   kill.   Tammy   wasn’t   even   sure   if   she   could.   Sure   she   was   deadly   with   a   weapon   if   given   the   chance,   but   how   could   she   even   attack   one   when   she   could   hardly   talk   to   one   as   it   was?   Even   if   she   could,   then   being   friends   complicated   things   a   lot   more,   “   Hey,   I   can   admit   boys   can   be   ‘ew’.   I’ve   been   to   school,   I   know   how   they   can   be,   ”   she   chuckled,   following   Mercy   in   their   action   of   leaning   forward   on   the   railing.   Browns   watched   the   waves   in   the   distance,   listening   to   the   faint   sound   of   them   crashing   against   the   shore,   “   Oh?   ”   Tammy   lifted   her   gaze   to   Mercy’s,   “   Kinda   hard   to   miss,   huh?   She   is   pretty   cute,   isn’t   she?   ”   a   grin   started   to   form   at   the   corner   of   her   lips,   “   How   often   do   you   get   video   recommendations?   ”   It   was   her   turn   to   tease.

                  SHE   SAT   THERE   FOR   A   LONG   MOMENT,   LETTING   THE   SILENCE   hang   heavy   around   her.   She   could   hear   the   distant   noise   of   the   boardwalk,   an   eerie   sound   that   reminded   her   of   fluttering   bat   wings.   She   shivered.   With   another   sound   of   discouragement,   she   dismounted   the   bike.   It   looked   like   she   might   need   to   call   Mercy—   she   spun   around   when   she   heard   a   voice.   A   boy   around   her   age   was   walking   towards   her,   his   question   reaching   her   ears.   Her   body   stiffened   a   little,   muscles   ready   to   pounce,   “   I…   ”   Browns   looked   down   at   the   said   bike,   wondering   if   she   should   lie   or   not,   “   Yeah,   uh,   I   actually   am,   ”   her   eyes   looked   back   to   the   approaching   figure   to   note   his   features.   And,   just   like   all   the   rest   of   the   boys   who   walk   the   boardwalk,   he   was   handsome,   “   It’s   not   starting.   Did   the   heavens   bless   me   with   a   mechanic   at   this   hour?   ”   Hope   in   her   voice   though   it   was   playful.
