DEATH WARNING! NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! MILDLY GRUESOME!

I could not believe my ears! I was immortal! Why? How!? She told me that according to the government and my families memories, I had never existed! We were in Winston, Oregon, and before I was so rudely abducted I was vacationing with my parents in Paris. I was an only child so I guess I was easy to forget...



We went on my first hunt, we were invincible running across those Portland rooftops. The long drive was worth the exhilarating view of the city. We were standing in the shadows of a liquor store when he walked by. He was tall, brooding, ripped as hell, but looked like he had done eight pounds of coac before going for booze. He still had a little lingering on his mustache.

We followed him for about twenty minutes before he figured it out and broke into a run. He knew we were following, but Sarah looked so content I just followed her. The sounds of our footsteps echoed off of the alley's brick walls. Dead end. Sarah snickered at him, "Long time no see John." She spoke as though they had a beef. "You owe oscar and I a lot of money John." She spit his name. "
You think you can lie like that, posing as a patient? At Williams hospital?!" She was practically screaming now.
"And you thought you would get away free, aye, John?"

She lunged forward breaking his scull in half with a sickening noise. She stood with a wicked look in her eyes and John's brain in her hands.

"And thats how it's done!" She said cheerfully.
I was shocked. I backed up slowly and started to run.
She called after me, yelling my name over and over. I got to the car and as I touched the handle she spun me around. My knees were weak my palms were sweaty. 'was I going to die?' I thought.

"Baby, baby, Ryan, honeysweetybaby." She ran the last three words together in a rush "He was a bad man, he stole and he cheated and he killed. The police had a search out for him. Plus, this brain is what keeps you alive." She waved his brain in my face, I wanted to be sick. "Its for a good cause."

I realized it was, about a month later, and started to warm up to my new family. I was going to be with them forever, I might as well.
I didn't go on any hunts after that, I didn't like to see her like that. They even have me a new identity, I was still Ryan, but with Sarah and Oscars last name I liked it, Martin, it was nice. Simple small. I started high school again, I only had to go one time around, they would forge a new identity every 20 or so years and I wouldn't change. I was the same i looked now and I could start over.
