Ryan and Lauren were driving back from a party. They stopped when the traffic light was red. Ryan tapped the wheel while he looked at his wife every now and then. The light jumped on green, but the car in front of them wouldn’t move. “Come on, dude, move” Ryan mumbled irritated. But the car just stood still. Ryan decided to just drive passed it, but as soon as he performed his manoeuvre the car in front of them moved in such way Ryan couldn’t overhaul it. “Okay, fine, drive right in my way, whatever” Ryan said. “Well, at least they’re moving again” Lauren said shrugging. “Yeah, but look at how they’re driving. They’re either drunk or stoned. We should call the police before they cause an accident” Ryan said when the car crashed into a wall. Lauren screamed. Ryan braked. “Oh no, oh no, oh no” Lauren moaned. “Ssh” Ryan hissed. “I’m going to see if they’re okay. You stay here, call an ambulance” Lauren shook her head in panic. “No, Ryan, stay here with me. I’ve seen this so many times. A couple or a group of friends cause or witness a car accident. They go check the bodies and then get slaughtered or they notice no one’s in the car and then a few days later they get creepy messages and they get killed” Ryan raised his eyebrows. “Lauren, honey? You’ve seen ‘I know what you did last summer’ one too many times” “It’s not funny” Lauren said angry, defending herself. “I know it isn’t” Ryan said stroking her cheek. He opened the door and got out of the car. He walked towards the wrecked car. “Hey, are you okay in there? Are you hurt?” Someone groaned. “Hold on, my wife is calling an ambulance” He reached the car and looked inside. It was dark, but he could see a face in the shadows. “Hi, can you move?” The man inside shook his head. Ryan pulled the door of, so he could see the full body of the man. “Can you try to loosen your seatbelt?” The man clicked the button, but it didn’t open. He pulled, but it was stuck. “I can’t. I’m stuck” “Okay, don’t worry. I’ll try” Ryan said and he leaned forward to the man, his cervix towards him. As Ryan tried to loosen the seatbelt he felt a terrible pain in his neck. He felt how two hands grabbed his head and blood streamed over his neck.
Lauren gazed through the windshield. “Come on, Ryan, get back here” she mumbled panicking when Ryan was thrown out of the car and lay still on the ground. Right after someone jumped out of the car, too alive for someone who just had an accident. The man ducked and lifted up Ryan but then dropped him again. There Lauren concluded her husband was dead. The man averted his head in her direction. Laurens eyes bulged and she wanted to start the car, but someone grabbed her from behind. She could see his reflection in the mirror and shrieked when she saw the maiming on his face. He opened his mouth and wanted to bite her with what looked like fangs, and Lauren closed her eyes awaiting the pain. But it didn’t come. She opened her eyes again and looked at the backseat. The… thing that had tried to attack was unconscious… or hopefully dead.
“He’s not dead” a male voice said. Lauren screamed and looked aside. A man was sitting at the steering wheel. “Don’t be afraid. My name is Stefan” he introduced himself and he offered a hand which Lauren refused to shake. “Let’s get you somewhere safe” “What are you going to do with him?” Lauren asked with a nod at the backseat. “Leave that to me” Stefan said. He started the car and drove away. “Exactly where are you taking me?” Lauren asked scared. Stefan didn’t answer, but kept driving. Ten minutes or what later he stopped at a parking lot. He got out and opened Lauren’s door. “Come on, you can’t stay in there” he said when Lauren hesitated. “It’s not safe” Lauren loosened her seatbelt and grabbed Stefan’s hand. As soon as her feet came in contact with the street Stefan whistled. Lauren frowned. “What did you do that for?” she carefully asked. “I want you to meet my friends” Stefan answered. Lauren looked around. They seem to come from every direction and they headed their way. “You set me up” Lauren said with a weak voice. “Ah, well, vampire” Stefan shrugged. Lauren gasped and panted and tried to escape, but Stefan tightened his grip. “No, don’t run away, you don’t want to miss the show. You know, they can run faster than light, but they like to keep the tense in it”
Lauren struggled to get away as the other vampires came closer to them.
