RATED: 17 For Vampire Violence, action, and language. 

 

A gas station, off the main road.

Dirty place, with a rusted out tin roof and toothless shop keep. 

In a dingy bathroom in the back, a fan rattling and humming in the open window, two teen aged guys argued in the dim heat of the afternoon.

 

 

 

 

" It wasn't my fault, Jack ,you KNOW that! " 

Jamie looked down at the floor, seated on the toilet in the stall, waiting for Jack to finish applying the dye to his hair. 

His own black hair was now a rich white, with honey blonde high lights, leather gloves without fingers on his hands. 

" What are we going to do? Keep running? They'll catch us in the end..."

He looked up, a single tear running down his cheek. 

" Won't they?"

"Right." He said. "That's two days, if I'm not mistaken..." He walked twowards the car. He wondered about his brothers condition again. Would it be more violent and spontaneous?

" Is...is that ok?" Jamie asked, jogging to keep up with Jack as he strode away. " He's a vamp...we...uhmm..."

Jack turned around "Look." He put his hand on Jamie's shoulder. "We are in this together. This means, we need to trust one another. So I'm going to ask you. Is he or she safe?"

" He's safe: we...uhm...dated, briefly. " Jamie shuffled his feet. " His dad owns a huge warehouse, off the coast. Uses it for runaway vamps. " 

"Alright..." He started the car. "The sun won't be up for a while... So we will have a decent drive...."

" Yeah, we will. Get a head start. " Jamie got in the passenger seat. " Did you get my book?" He asked, looking at Jack. 

"Yea." He handed it to him. He started the car, and drove off.

Jamie opened it, vampire's being able to see in the dark, and started reading, falling asleep a couple of hours into the drive. 

The sun was upon them in a couple hours. Luckily, Jack calculated this route so they would never be too far from a hotel.

Jamie yawned, stretching. " mmmm... mornin'." He lisped, eyes lidded and sleepy. 

"Good." Jack said. "You aren't dead..." He got out of the car. "You will be lookout..." He went into the hotel.

Jamie blinked. " Well... fine. " He laid his head back  on the headrest, and watched the sun rise over the far off hills, eyes slowly closing. 

He checked out the hotel room. It was...okay... He went back to the car.

Jamie was dozing, muttering. " No.... mom... no..." He sat up, screaming. " MOM!!!!! " 

"Hey!" Jack said. "Get yourself together!" He looked. "We are at the halfway point, don't get crazy now!" He tossed his brother one of the keys.

" What...?" Jamie caught the key, and looked at his brother. 

He needed a shave, and a clean shirt, Jamie thought. 

" Ok... let's go."

"So," Jack said to Jamie. "This guy, what's he like?"

" He's...alright enough." Jamie giggled. " Stingy lover." 

He blushed a deep crimson. " I mean...uh..."

"Ok..." Jack said. He opened up the suitcase. It had hair dye, lotion, a few clothes, and deodorant. "Let's get changed." He pointed to the blood on the shirts.

" Oh...right..." Jamie said, standing. He stripped off his shirt, and put on the clean one.

"Imma get some sleep..." Jack sat on the bed.

" I'm going to shower: it's been..." Jamie sighed. " It's been hard...today.." He left the room so his brother wouldn't see his tears.

Turning the shower on full blast, he fell to his knees in the bathroom, sobbing.

Backing into the corner, he hugged his knees close, and cried.

When he was done, he showered, and the icy water stung. 

Jack looked at the ceiling. Well, he thought, he was lucky.. He had survived a full 24 hours on the lam. But, like he said, father would get them eventually...

Jamie came back out, clean and tired.

He flopped onto the bed, falling into a deep sleep almost at once.

Bad dreams snaked through his mind, and He sat up, screaming, at 2 am.

Jack arose to the scream. "What! Who's there!?" He looked at Jamie. "Oh my god... What were you thinking, doing that?"
