Vampire Page #4

---

Sounds good to me.

I just need everyone's hand

sealing the entire body of the car.

Charcoal is fine

and all,

but I can do you

one better.

What the hell is that?

It's like carbon monoxide,

except you don't need fire.

You just mix these liquids...

real easy.

It will be painless,

like going to sleep.

It's a kit I bought online.

What kind of liquids?

It's like, you know... kind of like

bleach, detergent, stuff you can get...

- Let me see that.

- Hey, fuckface,

who the hell cares what it is?

I will tell you one thing though:

it's 100% fat-free, motherf***er.

Oh f***.

There's your sandwiches.

Are... are they dead?

What are you gonna do?

Me? Uh...

What about... what about you?

Do you still want to die?

Uh...

what about you?

Do you want...

do you want to die?

Do you want to die?

I'm not sure.

Well, if you're going to die, I'm leaving.

What are you going to do?

If you're going to die,

I'm going to leave, okay?

- Okay.

- And by the way,

if you don't want to die,

I'm still leaving.

They're... they're dead?

I've got to find out where we are.

If I can find out where we are,

I can find our way out of here.

Okay?

- Okay, well...

- Here, look.

- Well, if we take the...

- No, look, here.

- Here, look.

- ...the van.

It's 10 miles that way.

Oh. Well...

well, what do we do

about the bodies?

- Listen to me.

- Yeah?

F*** the bodies. We're gonna

pretend like we were never here

and we're gonna walk

10 miles that way, okay?

- We're gonna walk?

- We're gonna walk.

We're gonna leave the van

and we're gonna walk.

- That's impossible.

- It's not impossible.

You've never walked 10 miles before?

You can walk 10 miles.

Let's go, come on.

Come on.

- Okay.

- Ladybird, right?

Yeah.

Okay, let's go.

There you go.

There you go. Nice.

Can we...

can we take a little break?

- What?

- Just... my...

Yeah.

Ow.

Oh, these boots aren't

cut out for this terrain.

- There's something on my leg.

- What?

Oh my God.

- What's the matter?

- Can you...?

What... what... what is that?

It's a leech.

What do I do?

Do you have a...

like lighter or salt?

Or pepper also works.

I've got... I've got salt.

Let me see. Let me see.

Come here. All right.

Eww. Eww. Eww. Eww.

Eww.

Oh sh...

Their saliva has enzymes in it

that stops the blood from clotting,

so that's not gonna stop bleeding

for, like, three hours.

What do I... what do I do?

You've gotta suck... suck it out.

Oh, um...

would you mind?

There. Oh.

I swallowed it.

Are you a vampire?

Oh boy.

You've got another one.

What?

Eww.

Eww.

It's a big one.

This is a little bit embarrassing.

Are...

are you the Vampire?

Are you the Vampire?

We should keep walking.

Wait. Wait.

You've got one too.

On your... look.

I can... I can... it's my turn.

It's okay.

It's really okay.

No, no, no.

Yeah, come on.

Why do you have that bag?

What's in it?

A laptop.

Isn't that Lapis's laptop?

Yeah. She wanted me to delete

the evidence of our conversations.

If everyone was supposed to die,

then who would've

destroyed the evidence?

Did you even plan to die?

I'm the Vampire.

I'm...

I'm the Vampire.

Bullshit.

Do you want my blood?

No. If I wanted it,

I would've asked you for it already.

You can have it if you want it.

I won't tell anyone...

anything.

I promise.

Find me when you're ready.

I think I should call him again.

No. No.

He's fine, right? I don't know

why teachers work so late.

And they don't get paid enough,

do they? It's so sad.

It's so sad that they don't

get paid what they should.

Do you think he likes me?

Twice for yes, once for no.

That was yes.

What are you doing in here?

Did you sleep in here all night?

What are you doing?

You know, if you don't...

if you don't like me,

you should just say so.

What?

Otherwise, what's the point

of me doing all this for you?

Stop.

Do you like someone else?

I...

- Do you?

- Yes.

- You do?

- Yeah, I like someone else.

- And you're still with me?

- Listen, Lucy...

Who the hell is Lucy?

Laura.

I meant to say Laura.

I mean, I said "Lucy"...

Go to hell!

How about we go to my place?

Maybe...

maybe you can kill me there.

I want to die in my home.

It's the only place I fit.

Hmm.

Well,

I just think it's too risky.

Because after you die,

it's gonna be hard to get

your body into the car

without someone seeing me.

You won't have to move my body.

I bought a fridge.

So this is my apartment.

Well, it's kind of a basement.

There are no windows.

But it was really cheap, so yeah.

How much?

$50.

$50?

- Yeah.

- Wow. Wow.

She's a beauty.

Will it work?

Will it work?

Yeah, it's perfect.

That's Josh.

Unfortunately, his...

his father couldn't admit

that the boy was his, so...

so I found a new man.

Eric.

He was actually...

he was a really good person.

He was sweet

and kind.

And he always wanted a peaceful,

happy family.

But Josh never took to him,

so Eric started

beating Josh every day.

But I couldn't...

I couldn't stop him.

Um...

I was...

I was more scared

that Eric would leave us, and...

I should have let him leave us.

Eric ended up killing Josh.

Eric's in j-jail?

Yeah.

Maybe he was too young

to have kids.

No.

He was 40.

How old are you?

I'm 28 years old.

You're so young.

Do you know how long before you die?

What do you mean?

Vampires live a long time.

Do you know when you'll die?

I've never died before.

I don't know.

Wake up.

Oh boy.

What are you gonna do

with them after you're gone?

I'll let them go.

You know,

the crows will get them.

You know what?

I'll find a place for them.

Oh, will you?

Yeah.

The sky.

Blood...

makes up 8% of your body.

That means if you weigh 100 lbs

you've got eight lbs

of blood inside of you.

That's about a gallon.

To lose a third of that is lethal.

Each one of these bottles

has a quart.

So if you lose two of these bottles...

it would kill you.

Four would be pretty much

all the blood that you have.

Really?

Yeah.

I thought...

I thought the blood made up

80% of your body.

No. You're thinking

about water.

Your body's made up

of about 70% water.

This is

all the blood you have.

Not much.

And yet without it you're dead.

Blood...

blood is life itself.

It's kind of beautiful.

I guess I'm giving you my life.

Exactly.

Simon Williams.

Laura King.

"Jellyfish."

It's a terrible book.

You should be helping her.

You should be helping her.

Why aren't you helping her?

That's the normal thing to do,

is to help somebody when they're...

Simon.

That's enough.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mommy.

I'm sorry.

Did I startle you?

Say, would you happen to know

Simon's computer password?

What's in here?

What is in here?

Are you sad?

Is it because I don't

come around here anymore?

I know. It's too bad.

Simon is such a jerk.

He's such a jerk.

He has a girlfriend now, right?

What's she like?

Has she been here before?

What's wrong?

Are you trying to remember?

It's okay.

Come on, you can do it!
