Civic seemed a lot less menacing in the daylight than it had been the previous night. There were mothers watching their children play, people power walking around the park, and John could even see a group of guys not too much younger than him playing flag football off in the distance. If anyone looked out of place, it was him, covered in sweat stains with blood all over his cargo shorts and t-shirt.
'Had any of it been real?' he wondered. 'Sleepwalking all the way back here... that's just crazy.'
He navigated his way back to the motel, trying not to draw any more attention to himself than he already had. His hand was on the door handle to his room when he froze. Did he really want to go inside and prove his fears real? He wasn't afraid of walking inside and seeing a hole in the wall and other battle scars from the previous night; he was afraid of what he might not see.
'What if I go inside and nothing is out of place? What then? It'll mean I've finally gone crazy and can no longer tell fiction from reality.'

John ended up cleaning himself up at a nearby water fountain and then changing into a new set of clothes in his car. By the time he strolled back into town it was around seven, still light outside but with night soon to come.

Name: Kane Ashcraft.
Age: 24
Race: Half-blood vampire.
Gender: Male.
Appearance: Kane is of normal height and above average build. He is somewhat thin, but with lean muscle and a broad chest and shoulders. His eyes are an extremely deep brown, like an unfathonable puddle of pud. Kane's complexion is fair and he has messy black hair that he keeps at a short length. Kane is equipped with a pair of tight fitting tan legs and body made from interlaced layers of hardened cloth, linens, and thin sheets of metal. The combined layers are relatively thin yet offer great strength and allow for easy flexibility and movement.
Weapons: He wields a tall, broad edged spear, the staff of which is cast in lightweight metal for extra protection and is engraved with several runestones for decoration. The spear is almost as tall as Kane is, and he keeps it in a crisp, hard leather holster attached to his back for easy access. He also carries a dwarven crossbow at the waist, with a good amount of bolts kept in a pouch on his belt.
Alignment: Neutral
Personality: Personality: Kane is pretty quiet and usually keeps to himself, but he becomes more talkative and opens up the more he knows the person. He doesn't always say the right thing at the right time and rarely, if at all, shows any emotion, but underneath the stone-cold exterior he has a good heart.
Short History: History: Being born part vampire Kane does have the need to feed on, but he can usually keep the urges under control. He always tried to hide his vampirism from others, which gave way to his quietness. Due to him not being pure blooded, he can stand direct sunlight so it is hard to tell his condition. Now he is just a drifter, wondering from place to place and going where life takes him.
Other: Kane does have a travelling companion that flies in from time to time, a pure black feathered hawk named David with a wing span of about five or six feet.

Beware of the scary girl.

Having had nothing to eat but a typical bachelor's diet of Ramón noodles and junk food for the past few days, he was starving to get some real food in him. The first restaurant he found was a mix between a fast food joint and family-styled sit down restaurant called Moe's. But once he went up to the front counter and looked at the giant menu on the wall it was like reading a different language. The menu read: bun kababs, hockey pucks, mercury mutts, wedges...
"You're not from around here, are you?"
The voice startled John. The first thing that jumped to his mind was someone had realized he was a runaway, but when he looked down it was just an employee that had come out from the back room, and she took John's breathe away. Her smile was the first thing he noticed, so genuine and sweet. She had light blue eyes and strawberry blond hair that kissed her lightly tanned, rosy cheeks. Even though they had never met, John could tell she was the type of girl that could instantly brighten up a room, and looking at her made him quickly forget all the horrible events of the past twenty-four hours.
"Do I look that out of place?" John asked, noticing that he was uncharacteristically nervous.
"Yeah, you do," she laughed, a honey-sweet voice. "We've got sort of a weird lingo around town. Most people that come in here have no idea what they're ordering."
"Could I just get a burger and french fries, then?"
"A bun kabab and freedom fries coming right up. Take a seat and I'll get that right out for you," she replied as she went off to get him his meal.
"Damn..." John whispered as he watched her walk away. She looked a little bit younger than him, but she was still cute, really cute.

After taking his seat, it didn't take too long for the employee to come out carrying two trays of food.
"Would you mind if I ate with you?" she asked. "It's my dinner time too, and I just hate eating alone."
"That would be fine. I'm John, " he replied.
"I'm Sarah."

The two small talked for a little while. Sarah apparently had lived in Civic her entire life, and her parents owned the restaurant. She was only a grade below John, which he found as a huge relief. The burger she made for him was the best he had ever tasted, and when he told her so, she just blushed and gave her beautiful, cheery smile. But it didn't take long for the conversation to steer towards John and the hard questions.
"So what brings you to Civic?" she asked him.
"Oh, I'm just visiting family around here," he lied, giving her the story he had already worked up in his head. "My cousin's getting married this week."
"That's wonderful! Who's your cousin? If he lives around here I'm sure I know him."
"Oh right. His name is, well..."
"You don't have a cousin around here, do you?"
John was amazed at how quick it took her to see right through him. "I'm that bad of a liar, huh?"
"No offense, but you look kind of out of place. You're visiting family, but you go out to dinner alone? And those dark bags under your eyes don't help much, either."
Cute, and smart. "I don't know," he replied. "I guess there's just a lot going on right now." John wasn't exactly an emotional guy. In fact he was about the exact opposite of one, but for some reason he felt comfortable talking with her about how he was feeling, even when he had kept his family and friends completely in the dark.
