A man falls - Part 1

He was a naive young men when it all happened. And it happened so fast that he couldn't think of any reactions.

His name is Lucas. He was twenty-three at the time. He still looks like that, even though this happened more than fifty years ago. Lucas felt an huge amount of pain in his neck, while the vampire was killing him for his blood. The toxine paralised every single muscle, leaving a mixed feeling of numbness, pain, and death.

In an unexpected event, a lost bullet, shot by a gang war happening on the other side of the river, happened to penetrate the vampire's head when about half of Lucas's blood was already drained.

The vampire suddenly had a very similar feeling to the one Lucas was experimenting: He felt a mixture of numbness and death. For even tough it was maybe a hundred years since he died to become what he is, the fact is that he didn't feel as dead. Apart from the hunger and other symptoms, he felt pretty much alive.

Now, I never bought the fact that vampires kept their memory even when their brain was severely damaged. Somehow, they do. Well, most of it, anyway.

The vampire fell to the ground, unconscious, and remained in that state for a few hours. When he woke, his brain cells, and memory, were almost entirely regenerated. The only memory he didn't quite have or understood was that of the impact of the bullet. He was too concentrated on his blood rage to memorize exactly what was happening at the time.

He didn't care for Lucas as a victim, or anyone else for that matter, so he didn't bother to try and recover whatever was left of him. Lucas was just some junk food he had to get on the lack of something better. The vampire was more into young woman. He loves the fear and the screams they make, not to mention the sweet smell on their neck. To then, he reserves the most sadistic and insane actions. As for all other victims, such as older people, who dies on his hands (or his teeth, to be more precise), in general they don't suffer anything apart from a fast (although painful) death.

While the vampire was laying down on the floor, Lucas woke and managed to walk a few steps. He was too weak and poisoned, so he barely could stand. He tripped on a few small grey rocks on the floor. He ended falling into the river, being dragged by the flow, with no exact whereabouts.
