OUT OF DARKNESS

Chapter 1 - Forever Isn't True

The only way someone can live forever... Is if they die. People say that immortality gives you a chance to cheat death. Death will bring you down, no one can escape its grasp. Not even immortals. Have you ever heard the story of Dracula, and how he murdered innocent women then shriveled up in the waking of the morning sun? The only truth too that story is that vampires can not step into sunlight. If they do, they would be destroyed by it in a ball of flame. I should know due to the fact that I am a vampire and I have almost died myself in the waking morning of fresh sunlight. My name is Bethany Davidson, and the story I will tell will not last forever. It will only last as long as someone will continue to tell it.

It all started when my father and I were in the office, talking about the list of new wolves that were traveling here with my brother from the Hemlock Grove Sanitarium." So, we have 5 coming in from Hemlock Grove! The numbers are getting higher" I said while looking up and down the list. It had the names and records of all our patients." Humans have been busy trying to kill them that the numbers are going up, but I hear that 12 of your patients are being released today. You've done very well Bethany" my father said while patting my back." Thanks dad. What time is Jack supposed to be here?" I asked while putting the files back in my folder." In about 10 or 15 minutes. Oh! Here is an extra file I found, I guess that's 6 patients" he gave a chuckle and I grabbed the file and looked inside.

Scott Kline

Age: 21

Warning To Whoever Takes Care Of Scott- He has a few temper issues with other werewolves and his transformations are extremely irregular durning the full moon. Caution to whomever takes care of him. And please help him in any way you can.

" Dad? Are you sure this guy is okay to be around the others? It says here he is very ill tempered around others" I said while taking care of the files and setting them back on my mahogany desk." Really? I wonder how Jack is handling him" my dad said while lifting his head from the file box. Then suddenly our maid came through the door with an excited look on her face. " Jack is back with the refugees! And I just heard one of them is refusing to leave the van" she said with a sad voice. My father and I looked at each other and finally I said " I'll go and help Jack".

When I reached the van I saw my brother standing there, looking like he was going to rip someone's head off. " Hey Jack!! Don't terrorize him" I said with a disappointed voice as I watched him yell into the back of the van." You want to try, I can't do anything" he said sitting on the stone wall of the garden. I patted his shoulder and walked to the opening of the van, where I saw a guy with dark brown hair and tan skin just sitting there with his head facing the ground." Are you alright?" I asked him nicely. He was just silent. " Will you please come out so we can talk?" i asked him again, still no answer. I know how to deal with people like this, so I took a daring risk. I climbed into the back and said " Well, if you won't come out. I'm coming in". I sat down next to him and sat there until I made him crack. Which wasn't long. " What do you want?" he asked in an annoyed tone." I would like it if you could come out of here and let us examine you. We need to know what those..... People. Were giving you" I answered. I looked him in the eye and gave him a warm, comforting smile. I held out my hand, and he took it.

" How did you get him out!!!" my brother said surprised." I was actually talking to him. Not screaming at him" I joked. When we came to the infirmary, I went inside and prepped the needles for testing. I had gotten through most of them, until I came too him. He refused to let my brother touch him, so I went over there. " What's wrong Jake?" I asked, separating him from the guy." He refuses to let me use the needle" my brother said slamming it down on the table." There are other ways to inject it. Are you comfortable with me using a nasal spray ?" I quickly went from Jack to him, changing the subject. He nodded and I infused the medicine into his system.
