Spreading the Love (send an url)

Lexi walked down the cool streets of New York with her basket of muffins. She liked to hand them out to people who looked like they hadn’t had anything to eat for awhile. She was passing by an apartment building when her eye caught a man who looked exceptionally thin and she bit her lip. She moved towards him and smiled “Hello…would you like a muffin?” she asked, her cheeks blushing slightly as she got closer to him.

Aleece was on her roof listening to the familiar song of the cicadas, watching a late fog settle over the expanse of her southern home. The warmth settled in her skin but never reached her bones, there was always a chill inside her. The chill of death, but when you die, that chill tends to stay with you- even if you find a way around the dying forever bit.

A car rumbled up the shared drive and Aleece lifted her head and then sat up, watching the automobile rumble up to the house a few yard from her own, just over the hill. No one had lived there for years, she would have known. Word in the city was it was haunted, she always thought that was a bit ironic seeing as how she was the dead being living in a home. She had known the family that lived there in the 50s, the ones that had died- the ones she had killed when she turned. 

Aleece effortlessly jumped from her four story roof, living in a plantation home gave her a spectacular view of the spacious yard she shared with her only neighbor. Landing on silent feet, Aleece dusted her shorts off and wandered through the fog and damp grass to the home she hadn’t been to in so long. Her bare feet barely sunk into the soft earth, walking weightlessly through her preferred time of day, blanketed in early darkness with a bloody sky behind her.

Lexi quickly moved to put on her lab coat as she moved into the room where they would be receiving the new subjects. Lexi had only just graduated into this part of the lab, so far she had just been doing blood analysis but now she was actually going to get to work with the subjects. As she entered, Lexi was surprised to see large metal cages holding several new subjects. She knew that the vampires had to be kept somewhere safe so they wouldn’t hurt the human’s doing the experiments but she hadn’t really thought about what that would mean. Still, Lexi had lost her whole family to some reckless vampires making her somewhat numb to the idea that they were actual beings anymore. She wanted to make a better world, a place where people who got sick could get better through the cure that vampire blood could provide. Working in the blood analysis unit had given Lexi a sense of purpose and now she was moving up. Lexi looked over at some of the other scientists. 

“Be very careful with these new ones, they’re still pretty feisty...the sedative hasn’t quite kicked in yet” a large man, who was often out in the field, cautioned. Lexi stepped closer to one of the cages that held a pale vampire with dark hair. The vampire’s shirts were stripped to provide easy access to their blood and their arms were chained above their heads. Many of the new subjects had cuts and bruises from fighting with the humans and all of them had taser marks where the humans had finally managed to subdue them. Lexi felt a small pang of guilt in her chest but then she remembered what the vampires had done to her family and she shook her head.
