Black Birthday

((Me and Kitara only))

Marrow was laying on his couch having a smoke. He relly didn't know what people did on birthdays. Still he waited for the only really person he'll have talked to more than once in months.

Kitara walked up to his home and knocked on the door.

Marrow took a drag and opened the door "yo" he said in a unexcited not very happ tone.

"Well happy birthday." she said in a sarcastic tone mostly on the happy part. " Got you a gift." she held up a box wrapped with simple birthday wrap.

"Thanks, but why? Is that something people do on birthday?" Marrow said taking it and slowly unwrapping it.

"Yeah," She said, "Your celebreating your birth there for you get a gift. Its nothing much but I thought you may need it."

Inside the box was a neckless.

"It makes a barrier around you so your power wont harm others, unless you take the neckless off."

"It's nice but I highly doubt it can contain what you don't know what is...how does it work?" Marrow holding it between his fingers and then putting it on.

"The shopkeep told me you put it on, but its only as strong as your will power." She said with a shrug.

"I think you got ripped off but whatever." Marrow shruged "So what do people do on birthday?"

"Haven't been to many. But they eat cake and something about candles." She replied, "They have a party."

"Anything that doesn't have me have to be around a bunch of people?" Marrow said taking an other drag and offering her one.

She took it and lit it up. "We could just chill here I could make you a cake." She said with a shrug.

"I don't care, at this rate it'll be my best birthday anyway...it'd the first where someone knew it was my birthday and kept there soul." Marrow said finish his smoke and flicked in a tray.

"Your very morbid." She said then took a drag off her smoke.

"There is one thing I wanted to ask you for..." Marrow said looking deep into her eyes to show he was serious.

"Whats that mate?" She asked.

"Turn me into a vampire." Marrow said exposing his neck to her.

She jumped away from him, "NO!" She said with wide eyes.

"Please, your the only one I can trust for this..." Marrow took a small slash in his neck which he started to bleed from.

She plugged her noise and turned away from him. "No I can't I dont feed off people."

"I'm not a person though, I'm a monster your the only one that can change that." Marrow said walking to her.

She shook her head, "I can't... If i start I'll never stop..."

"Then feed off of me I'm a human blood bank." Marrow said with pleding eyes "It's the only I will be able to truly live."

"Please... Dont ask me to do this... I can't... I sorry..." She said holding back tears from bad memories.

"This might be our last meet." Marrow said taking off his shirt and walked outside "I know a place where vampires dwell."
