Fatal Salvation

Chapter 1

Here I am, walking alone. Number 1 outcast in Silverstone. That's me, Blaire Williams. Have you thought that your life was a mess, your boyfriend dump you and your mom took your phone. That's bullshit to me.

Have you lost your dad? I have. Is your mom a hooker? Well mine is. Do you get beat up everyday by your step dad? Well I do. So please, appreciate what you have. I lost my dad when I was 4. My mom won't tell me anything about him. I found a local news and it said that he disappeared in the woods.

I stand in front of an ugly small house. My mom said it was home. Our old house was better but she used all the money dad left on weeds. I just hate it when I'm back here. Wanna know why? Here's why. I step inside the hell hole just to find my mom and Alvin the old banger AKA my step dad, swallowing each other face.

Sadly, before I reach the stairs, Alvin spotted me. "Aye, Blaire! How was school?" He asked. I was disgusted. He talk to me like nothing ever happen. For God sake, he's squeezing my mom's butt in front of me. "Well surely better than this hell!" I spat. "Honey, why don't you go get change and order some chinese?" She said over her moaning. Alvin was touching her breast. "Like what you see, kid?" He smirk. "Giving a 16 year old girl a sexual contents is prohibited you know!" I yelled stomping my way up. "WHY DONT YOU CALL THE POLICE THEN!" He yelled.

I know if I call the police they would arrest my mom too and put me in the orphanage. I don't want that. Thankfully it's not day time. If it is, Alvin would beat me cause mom left for work.

When I thought its already over for tonight I was wrong. Alvin slammed open my door. "YOU TOOK MY LIGHTER DIDN'T YOU!" He shouted. A lighter? Seriously?. He slammed my back into the wall. He's damn serious. "Alvin, please, babe! Let her go!" Mom pleaded. "Hell no. This bitch took my lighter!" He hissed. He breath smelled like beer. "It was me! I took the lighter!".

With that he threw me to the bed and slap my mom. He left the room after that. My mom cried on my floor. "Mom, are you okay?" I sat beside her. She stroke my black hair, black as the night. "You remind me of your dad," she said. "You got your dad's blue eyes. You even act like him. Stubborn, wild and faithful. That thing killed him," mom cried louder. "IF YOU'RE HURTING YOUR MOTHER, IM GONNA SELL YOU ON EBAY!" Alvin yelled. That's not even fair.

"Go. Blaire. Get out of here!" Mom demand. She got up, took my jacket and hand it to me. "But, mom!" I start. "Dont. Just go. Never come back. I don't want you to get hurt," she said. I heard Alvin's footstep down the hall. "What's going on in there?" He said. With that, I ran through my window. I kept running into the woods. I look back to the house. I saw Alvin trashing my room. That is it. I ran deep inside the woods.

°°°

It's been almost a week since I ran away. I made a small tree house near the Silverstone Hill. I stole some money from people to buy cheap food in Walmart. I found this awesome waterfall just across the cliff. Getting there was a bit hard but it was worth it for showering.

I thought my mom would somehow find me. Bringing a search party or something. She wouldn't abandon her own daughter, would she?. My thoughts were quickly proven wrong. Hours and hours pass that night. I almost thought the town folks calling my name but it was all in my head. Mom raised no alarm. The same way she did when dad went missing. I was very devastated. Knowing my own mom would left me like this.

I took a walk on the edge of the cliff. The view here is amazing. I sat there, thinking what if my dad was here. But that's just childish. "Why am I so stupid?" I whispered.

"Cause your not?" Said a voice. I look behind me and saw a boy, probably 17. He's so pale, had brown hair, brown eyes. A few inches taller I guess. I was clearly shocked. "Who the hell are you?" I said. "I'm Xavier, don't worry I won't harm you. Your tone is rather inappropriate? " he said with a british accent. Why would there be a british boy in the middle of the woods.

"Um, sorry. I'm Blaire. Why are you here?" Unless he had the same life as me. "I know who you are. I saw you running back and forth from the town and here everyday. I could just ask you the same question," he said. So far he didn't do anything wrong so I pat the spot next to me, gesturing him to sit. I've been wanting to tell someone but I was all alone everyday so I quess I trust him enough.

"Do you believe me that my dad dissappear 12 years a go and my mom became an alcoholic that instant and she married a guys who's now probably torturing her and plotting anything evil if he sees me again?" I ask Xavier. He gave me a confused look. My stare was stern. With that he understand what I just said. "Oh, lord. I don't know you're that sad. Thank god you told me this before I almost suck the life out of you!" He said gripping my hand. His hand was so damn cold.

"What?" I was clearly dumbfounded. "You told me about your private life so its fair enough if I tell you mine. Dont run okay?" He pleaded. I nod. "Blaire, what if I tell you that Vampires are real?" wincing at his own question. "Um, I've read about it in books. I mean if there are stories about them it's probably real," I told him. He nod, awkwardly smiling at me. "What are you saying that you're a vampire?" My eyes widened. Shocked in disbelief.

"Don't run please. I won't bite you. Although I am hunting right now," holding my hand. I only see one emotion in his eyes. Concern. "Nah, I won't, " I promise. "Don't be too excited about it. I have to go make a fire for tonight. We can meet up tomorrow, noon?" I ask. "Blaire, I'm a Vampire. I'm don't burn out on sunlight but it still bother me,". "Eh, right, so, 8 pm?" I ask again.

"Oh wait why dont I think of this before. Why don't you stay at my place?" He smile. Staying with a Vampire?. "You know I read minds right? I swear I won't bite. My family won't bite you either. We're modern Vampire, well except if you cut yourself my sister would probably attack you but bloody hell, my dad would restraint her!" He jump around on the thought of it.

"If it's fine with your family, I guess it's okay with me," I don't know if I made a good choice. "You have sealed yourself with the best choice you got!" He suddenly carry me bridal style. "Might want to hold on," he warn. With that he carried me deeper into the forest in inhuman speed.

Good Bye Silverstone.
