A group of WHAT!?

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Henry asked, he sounded so paniced.
"Yes, It's just the dandi-Nongs, What could go wrong?" I smiled, trying to ease his tension.
"Okay, I might keep close though..." He trailed off, "Just in case" He added.
"Deal" I said, then went to my locker.

I was going away to the Dandi-Nongs, this Saturday. My dad had planned it, he wanted to get me out of the house, he said, qoate "I want to spend more time with you, your growing up so fast". Secretly meaning, "You don't get out enough, so I'm taking you out against your will".

Henry walked me home, he didn't mind walking at my pace.
"What did you mean when you said, 'You'll keep close?" I asked casualy.
He caught on, "Oh, not like walking behind you" He laughed "I mean, I'll be about, and your dad won't have a clue" He smiled, clearly answering my second question.
I stopped, he turned at the exact time, Him and his magical powers. I must admit i was jealous, but i suppose they did come in handy.
"What's wrong?" He asked, suddenly worried.
I pulled him towards me by his t-shirt, he caught on, again.
Our lips met, it was a short but sweet kiss.
"I feel better now" I muttered.
He laughed.
I forgot about his super hearing.

That saturday i had a nice long shower, and got dressed into a pretty skirt and top.
"You look nice" Dad said at the door.
"Thanks, next time knock" I added.
He tryed to hide a smile, "Okay, sweetie , we should leave soon, maybe 10 minutes?" He muttered.
"Sure thing, Daddio" I smiled.
He walked away.
I clambered into the car, and pulled my skirt down, it was one of the ones that goes up when you sit down. Grr, maybe a bad idea to wear it, but what could i do now.
Dad drove off, and i noticed a taxie not far behind us, i peered in my side mirror, i saw a familiar smile. Henry.
I giggled slightly.
"What?" Dad asked.
"Oh, uhmm...I'm excited" I lied, even though i was.
He smiled to himself.

Once we arrived we got lunch in a nice little cafe, we talked about anything and everything.
It had been a while since we had, It felt nice.
We then walked around for a bit, and dad wanted to go to a car store, so i said i would go to the river, and sit for a while.
"You sure?" He asked.
"yes, I'll probably just sketch some things" I shrugged.
"Okay, pumpkin" He wandered off.
I walked the opposite way.
I sat and sketched for a while.

I heard a rustle in the tree next to me, i looked up.
Nothing.
I went back to drawing.
Another movement, but this time it was on the ground.
I looked around.
Nothing.
"Dad?" I asked, my voice sounded scared.
And another rustle, and a hissing noise, then a growl, i turned as i faced my nightmare.

A female vampire stood there, fangs bared at me.
"Oh, my god" i said high pitched.
she smiled evily.
Two more vampires appeared, one female and the other male.
"Do you know how good you smell..." The male said.
"Considering we haven't eaten for..." The female trailed off.
"Two days" The main female finished.
That was just weird, they were finishing each others sentences.
The female in 'Charge' lunged at me, smashing me to the ground.
Owch, that hurt, i tryed to scramble away.
One grabbed my leg, "You ain't going nowhere" He said.
I screamed, "Henry!" I called.
The female covered my mouth, and moved my hair out of the way.
The one in charge moved over to my neck, and within a second, without hesitation, she bit.
I felt her fangs deep inside me, i wanted to scream, and rip my throught out, it was so painful.

Blackout.

Someone was shaking me after that, i blinked, "Henry?" I asked, i sounded zoned out.
"Yes" He said, "I'm here, are you?"
"I wish i wasn't, im in so much pain" I sat up, and felt sick.
I turned to the side, and threw up everywhere.
I turned back to Henry, feeling embarassed as my cheeks felt hot.
"Lets get you to hospital" He said, then kissed my cheek.

I lay in the hospital bed for quite some time, then sleep took me.
I woke the next day with sun in my eyes, i felt sick again.
I turned to a bucket and threw up in it, i did this 4 times, then got a nurse.
"How sick am I?" I asked.
"Very, it's going to get worse before it gets better" She said, then walked away to get a doctor.
That must have been an infetious vampire bite. eww.
Henry walked in, "Leah!?" He asked, as if it was unbelievable i was alive.
I vomited in the bucket again.
I felt awful.
"What's wrong with me?" I asked.
Before he could speak, something clicked in my head.
"Wait!" I shouted, "Shouldn't i be like you now?" I asked.
"Thats the thing, they weren't normal vampire's, they were Kilnolious vampires" He said, looking sadly at me.
"Which means?" I coughed, blood was in the cough.
I gasped, "Blood"
He shrugged, "Im okay with it"
"What does it mean, 'Kilnolious Vampires'?" I asked, really curious.
"They bite, like any other vampire, and they kill them, but if they are stopped mid bite, it spreads a bacteria into your system, and then eventually if not treated right it can kill you, but you will be fine, it just spreads and gets worse, but then it starts getting better" He smiled in a sad way.
"Fuck off" I said, then turned away from him.
"What?" He looked astonished.
"You heard me, you could have stopped this, you could have told me not to go" I said.
"Leah, I'm not leaving your side, I know your angry, but you will be fine" He said.
"Im sorry" I said, "I didn't mean it"
He kissed me, after giving me a breath mint, i mean i had been vomiting all day.

I had never felt so lost and sad in my life, not even when Henry left.
I could die.

"Am I going to die?" I asked Henry.
"Noway" He said.
"Promise?" I muttered.
"I do" He said, then smiled.
He kissed my forehead and sat next to me.

Over the weeks, i got worse and worse, i lost my voive, i vomited now and then, some of my limbs were numb, and i drifted in and out of sleep. I had headaches all the time.
"I love you" Henry said, while crying that night.
I mouthed 'I love you' Back, then looked questioningly at him.
He shook his head.
I looked angrily at him.
"Okay, They say your not getting better" He bawled.
I started crying.
I was going to die.
