Vampire Bite

ACT ONE; SCENE TWENTY

AKISE AND SAKIKO'S HOUSE

LIVING ROOM

SAKIKO looks to the clock on the T.V. dashboard, reading 1:46 PM, she dramatically sighs as she slumps back down on the couch.

SAKIKO: I guess I'm watching T.V. till midnight then.

Continuing the movie, AKISE leaves the room and brings back her book she's been wanting to finish. Sitting on the couch, SAKIKO scoots closer to AKIKSE to cuddle her, and just like that, they sat and waited for midnight to come.

11:58 PM

Instead of watching the same Saw movie, SAKIKO decides to put on the others that follow right after. Once SAKIKO finishes another movie, she looks at the time on the dashboard again; 11:58 PM.

SAKIKO (excited) : Two minutes before midnight!

AKISE looks up from her book, nearly finishing the last chapter she flips to the next page and bookmarks it.

AKISE (looks at the clock) : Damn, where did the time go?

SAKIKO (bounces around) : Let's go! Let's go!

Like a puppy SAKIKO goes by the door and impatiently waits while AKISE gets up and puts on her shoes and coat. Making SAKIKO remember her coat as well, they leave their home and before they walk off AKISE locks the door behind them. 'Hopefully we don't get anymore douchebags going into our home', AKISE hopes to herself. SAKIKO tugs on AKISE'S jacket, smiling AKISE plays along and pretends to go limp on SAKIKO and slowly falls over her, but not completely.

SAKIKO (giggles while holding her up) : Come on let's go you goof.

Taking SAKIKO'S hand they start walking towards the busy streets of downtown, busy but dangerous as well.

AKISE: Okay here's the plan.

AKISE thought of this while they were walking, cars pass by them and slowly they start to see the downtown city come into view. The city glows from giant flashing signs and cars full of people; leaving and going to the casinos to drink and gamble their lives away.

AKISE (continues) : You're going to put on your best 'cute, oh poor me' look, and saying your lost. You know shed a tear here and there to make it convincing too, and it doesn't matter who it is just make it happen.

SAKIKO (salutes AKISE) : Yes Ma'am!

AKISE smiles and chuckles, she rubs SAKIKO'S head and takes hold of her hand again. They start to squint their eyes as they got closer and closer to the lights, and as soon as SAKIKO saw a person walking towards them she was about to go run up to him. But AKISE caught her shoulder and brought her back as they continue to pass by the stranger.

AKISE (whispers in ear) : Not yet, I have a specific spot where I do this.

SAKIKO makes an 'o' shape with her lips, nodding slightly she continues to have AKISE lead the way to her 'hunting grounds'. They come up to what looks like an abandoned store and right next to it an abandoned warehouse. And in between the two buildings is a dark alleyway space, big enough to capture and put people inside, but just small enough for a person to not notice it and keep walking by. When AKISE assigns herself to her spot she looks up and gives SAKIKO a smile.

AKISE: Okay, now its your time to shine, (pushes SAKIKO out) go make me proud.

SAKIKO grins, waving AKISE good bye she skips out into the night to look for her first victim. AKISE pokes her head out to see how well SAKIKO does and to make sure she didn't get hurt. SAKIKO had her yellow hoodie on, bringing the hood over her head it had floppy dog ears on the top. In no time SAKIKO sees a woman walking up, smiling to herself she walks towards her and starts to sniffle. Feeling tears brim at her eyes, she sniffles more and louder, her little voice whimpering. Leaving a little space between them, SAKIKO shows her tear stained face to the woman under the street light, the woman seeing SAKIKO instantly becomes worried for her.

SAKIKO (acting) : I (hiccups) I'm lost, ca (hiccups) can you help me?

The woman took pity for SAKIKO, taking her hand in her own she rubs it in attempt to 'calm her down'.

Woman : Of course honey, where were you last seen with your parents?

More tears fell down SAKIKO'S face as she turns around, 'trying' to remember where she could've left her parents. Until she pointed at AKISE'S direction.

SAKIKO: O- (sniffs) over there.

The kind woman gives SAKIKO a smile.

Woman: Okay, let's go over there, call your parents and I'll tell them I found you.

Straightening herself out from lowering to SAKIKO'S level the woman leads her over to the alley, still holding on to her hand.

SAKIKO (sweetly) : What's your name?

Woman (smiles) : Mindy.

They got to the entrance of the alley, AKISE clearly sees SAKIKO and MINDY but she backs herself up more to hide in the dark. SAKIKO gives MINDY a glare and then smiles, looking behind her into the dark alley where AKISE waits for them.

SAKIKO: Well Mindy looks like this is your last day.

MINDY'S eyebrows knit in confusion and wasn't expecting a shove from SAKIKO. Once MINDY stumbles into the alleyway, AKISE wraps her arms around her victim from behind and sinks her fangs into her neck. MINDY screams and cries at the pain, but SAKIKO comes up takes the sleeve from her hoodie, makes a big ball and gags the woman to quiet her screams. After a minute of feeding MINDY slumps more and more into AKISE until she was sure she drank every last drop. Letting go of the body it makes a hard slap to the concrete, her skin now pale and her eyes lifeless. AKISE'S eyes have gone red from feeding, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth she looks at her hands and they were shaking violently this time.

AKISE (raspy) : More . . . I need more.

And like the devil SAKIKO gives her an evil grin as she silently exits the alleyway to catch more food. They repeated this 5 more times until AKISE had her fill and her blood lust sub-sided. With AKISE'S restored strength she one by one picks up the bodies and slings them over her shoulder, 3 on the left; 2 on the right.

SAKIKO: Where are you going to take them now? You can't hide them anywhere, you can't even dig in the ground to hide them.

As SAKIKO stomps her foot on the concrete to make her point. AKISE smiles mischievously like she had a trick up her sleeve.

AKISE: That's why I picked this spot, because . . .

SAKIKO didn't notice, but in the back of the alleyway sits a door, when she walks up the handle and twists it, it opened.

AKISE: Just through there and on the other side is a cemetery across the street, we're going to go to it and basically give them unmarked graves.

SAKIKO'S eyes shine with wonder as she looks up to AKISE in fascination. While they walk into the building AKISE sighs a relief to herself, she knew she was cutting close with how long she hadn't fed for. But shaking the thought of what could've happened she instead thanks silently to whoever; for another successful night of hunting and not being caught. Only SAKIKO saw, who sang a happy tune to herself as they crossed the street to reach the cemetery.
