Being “called” on was starting to hurt I don’t know if was my coming into my powers or if it was because I was pregnant. Sterling had thought it was Schyler and I thought so too but before I went I tried to check to see again but I got a glimpse of a girl sitting on a bench in broad daylight calling me, I saw the long brown hair knowing it was Schyler. I fully went to her taking my soul and body only leaving an outer shell visible to everyone.

               “Ashlynd im so glad you came.” I heard Schyler say getting off the brown park bench, I knew this park it was Brush Park a mere three blocks from Schyler’s house. She came up to me to give a hug but then stopped, probably remembering that I was a Vampire and skilled to kill her in one deadly swap of my hand or one lung to her neck.

               “Yes I know, but next time try and say it’s you.” I said trying to conceal my annoyance I didn’t know if it worked not Schyler was very forgiving so she shrugged it off.

               “Oh okay I will.” She stopped for a moment and then starting with her ranting about how her day went and how “horrible” it was. I wanted to tell her I didn’t have sympathy for her since I had had just killed a criminal that had wanted to kill me and my baby, I also wanted to tell her that her human problems were nothing compared to mine. But I didn’t in fear she’d tell my secret though I knew I could persuade her otherwise. I didn’t have the energy or the power.

               “So that’s why I need you to make me a Vampire.” She said and I was caught like a fish in the dry California sun but I was in Oregon and again and I remembered that if anyone saw me they would call the cops and I would have many questions to answer and Schyler.

               “Schyler I don’t know how to tell you this but… im not going to make you a Vampire.” I guess I did know how to because I just did, I felt a Vampire headache coming and I really didn’t want to get caught by someone passing the park.

               “And I thought you would be there for me when no one else would… when I need you you’re supposed to be there for me.” We were both sitting now and she was crying and her face red from anger or from not getting what she wanted, I took a deep breath in and rubbed my temples. There was two people were following the sidewalk that led to the park I felt like I should just leave but I knew that was crossing a line.

               “SCHYLER! Act like im dead! Because I won’t kill you and lead you to this.” I motioned to myself, she rolled her eyes.

               “Yeah your pregnant what a problem.” Sometimes she didn’t see what I wanted her to see.

               “NO I meant that im non-living as in im dead! And Kayly was killed by someone else I had NO CONTROL over that and why don’t you just find a VAMPIRE that will change you because this one WON’T!” I yelled getting up and getting in her face, I stopped and went to apologize but she wasn’t crying she wasn’t even upset I saw the screws turning as she processed this new information I groaned involuntary.

               “Fine I will and when im all vamped up you’ll be my first death.” She said very snarky she got up flipped her hair and walked away, I left as soon as I could I was angry but more at myself since I had given her the idea. I woke up next to Sterling in his bed I turned to him and curled up next to him. I fell asleep like this perfectly next to the perfect man, I felt really bad for not telling him but then I wondered why he had been there.

               I was laying on a beach and it was darkish, the sky was filled with dark blues and hot pinks and a swirl of orange lite up the sky, the stars weren’t out and the waves were gently and peaceful. Waves were coming up at me at first barely touching my toes but as the time went on and the sky darkened a wave would come and touch my fingertips, though it never tried to take me to the ocean with them. I noticed I was wearing a bikini it was orange and I looked tanner maybe I had been tanning the whole day, usually my dreams were different movies I was staring in and most of the time I was altered in some way for each movie, either it was my hair was blonde or it was short or I was short or I was a movie star or a model. This time it felt like I was staring in my own movie my own life put on the big screen, I laughed at myself and I heard footsteps coming from behind the island. An island? Yes I was on an island there was palm trees behind me and rocks standing taller than me, I saw a small boy he was the same from my other dreams. I twisted around my palms on the wet sand as a wave came and tried to take me into the ocean but I didn’t let them I pushed and kicked as each wave came with more power, the boy screamed for me but never edged closer to the water like he was afraid of it. I yelled for the boy to run and get help but he simply looked at me like I was speaking a different language I then spoke every language I knew trying desperately to get out of the waters control just then Kayly popped out of the trees and had her hands up as if she were controlling the water. I yelled for her help but as I was pulled further into the water I was pushing to get closer to my son, Kayly grabbed him up and he clung to her hip she kissed him on the cheek and I screamed as loud as I could then Sterling came around with a girl hanging on him I saw that it was Schyler she walked up to Kayly and spoke in her ear; just then I was brought feet away from them I was in a hurricane of water I was trapped inside the water but I could see them and hear them. Sterling walked up to Schyler and kissed her patiently on the lips and Schyler turned towards me and said;
