A Lost Vampire

1955 - Somewhere in California

Tru stood there confused as ever.  The feelings she felt inside were startling and greusome.  She could not soak up what her eyes saw and almost vommited as well.  She pushed herself away from the door and made her way into the bathroom across the hall where she puked onto the marble bathroom floor.  'Didn't make it,' she thought as she wiped the back of her hand against her mouth and reached to turn the faucet on. 

The water slushed out at first making a gurgeling noise and then came full force into the basin of the sink.  Images flashed in and out of her mind and she tried to focus on her reflection in the mirror.  The water had turned hot and started to create a fog of steam around her.  The mirror was covered in a condensation of water and as Tru wiped away the steamy layer, she screamed a ripping noise from her throat.

She backed away from the mirror and hit the door behind her with a force that nearly broke it off it's hinges.  She looked away from her reflection, shaking her head furiously from side to side and muttering to herself; 'What the hell happen to me?' Tru asked herself, but no answer came.  She took a breath and turned to the mirror with eyes shut and slowly opened them.  In the reflection, she saw the horrific sight in front of her. 

Her long mohagany hair was matted with blood as the rest of her.  The only thing she could see was the whites of her eyes and the rest of her was stained with blood.  She looked at her bloodied nightgown down to her feet and everything was completely covered in blood, but who's blood?  It seem her memory had been wiped and all she could remember from the bedroom to here was vommiting.  'The bedroom...' whispered into her mind.

Tru did nothing at first but stood there still.  She slowly turned her into the opposite direction and swallowed hard as she faced herself back to the hallway and across to the bedroom.  She heard nothing but the wind blowing outside and inconsistent tapping of the old oak tree branches, scrapping up against the window in the bedroom.  Making her way slowly back to the bedroom, she brushed her hand slightly up against the hallway wall as she made it to the outside of the bedroom door.  It was slightly ajar, blocking the rest of her view to what was in the room.

She grew restless as she found herself directly in front of the door.  The floorboards creaked underneath her feet making it hard for her to concentrate.  Tru took a deep breath in and pushed the door opened.  It was dark so she couldn't see much and took a step forward into the room.  Her foot stepped into something cold.  She reached to her right and started to feel for a light switch.  Her fingers daintly felt the switch and with holding her breath, she turned the light on.

The sight almost made her scream again, but this time, Tru slapped her hand over mouth from screaming.  In every direction, blood was on the walls, the floors and her memory flashed into her mind, slamming her back into reality.  'Oh God no!' Tru screamed into her head.  Her memory flooded back to her as she knew what happened.  She didn't want to acknowledege it, disgusted with herself...
