The Sharp Streets

Chapter 3

Coles p.o.v.

When we got home it was 1 in the morning and mother was pissed at me for bringing Ash home so late when I usually get home at 2 am. "What the hell? Why are you back so late? How can you be so irresponsible?" she shrieked at me. "I've been coming home late since I was 14 so don't get all pissed at me when Ash was the one that I had to pick from a party." I say as I half-drag Ash up the stairs. When I pass Annie and Amys rooms they both come out. "Oh my look what the cat dragged in." sneered Amy, "Why do I smell blood on you?" "Like you actually care how it happened." I said as I walked past them both to dump Ash in her room. After I put her in bed, I walk back out to the hallway and mother is just standing there waiting for me. "So, Annie and Amy tell me that you hurt someone. Is that true?" "Yep. Broke a nose and bruised a back, but why do you even care?" I say shrugging it off. Mother pulls out a blood bag and drinks from it. "What the hell are you doing? Put that down!" I yell at her, "What are you doing?" She stops drinking and looks at me with light red eyes and slits for pupils. When I take a closer look at her I see fangs. The blood is dripping from her mouth and I feel a sharp pain in my upper gums. Next thing I knew the scent of the blood was becoming too much for my senses. "What is happening? Why does it smell so good?" I say with such confusion. "Oh honey, you have finally awoken your vampiric side. Look, even your eyes are changing color." mother says so happily. I run to the hallway mirror to look at my eyes and see that they are blood red with slits. "What do I do?" I say in terror. "You feast on the blood from the bag or we can take you to catch a live one." says Allen, who emerged from his room with his light red colored eyes. "Is everyone a vampire? Is Ash?" I say panicked. "Yes Ash will be. As for everyone no, but some are and you will meet them soon. Now drink the blood or you will get a bloodthirsty urge to kill." said mother in the calm voice.
