" You have to go." I said threw gritted teeth, but the women still stood there. Sweat poured down her body, her eyes looked like they were going to burst out of their sockets at any moment, and her legs were trembling. The only thing possibly keeping her from falling to her knees was the fact that she is holding herself hard against the wall." NOW!" I growled at her. She did one last scream before she ran. I stayed there gripping the motionless body under me, as I watched the frightened women disapear onto the street.

I pushed myself off of the body and stepped back. Takeing in what I had just done. I pulled out my mirror from my purse to look at my reflextion remembering there was something different about it. The first thing I noticed were my eyes. They weren't the topaz color I am used to seeing everyday. Now they were a hideous shade of blood red. My face looked so delicate with how cresty it was. Like it was going to smash into pieces with the slightest touch. And my full lips were smeared with blood. I then opened my mouth and seen fangs. I actually have fangs! I dropped my purse and mirror and clasped my hand over my mouth to keep from screaming.

No...no....this can't be happening. It's too unrealistic. Humanbeings do not go around sucking peoples blood till they are dry. But I am not a human, I reminded myself. I am vampire. A blood sucking none aging vampire. Keiths demanding words echoed in my ears," It is very important that you do not drink human blood." This must have been what he was trying to keep me from. The taste of blood still lingered on my tongue and all I started thinking about was finding new blood. Finding a new victim. There was an ambulance and police sirens coming in the distance and I ran.

I froze on the front porch. Hand clutching the cold golden doorknob, face looking to the ground. Two tears dripped from my eyes and slowly made their way down to the cement porch. How can I bare to face Keith and tell him that I have committed my first kill on a human? No, now is not the time for that. I have to figure this out for myself. I will not kill anymore people. Feed...thats the word vamps use when killing people isn't it? Today I have had my first feed.... I took a soothing breath and stepped inside. Keith and Pablo were know where to be seen. Thank god. That should by me sometime to figure this disaster out.

I paced around my room nervously. I don't know if its the adrenaline from the blood speeding threw my vains or the fact that I might have no choice but to tell Keith. There was a beep coming from my computer indecating someone sent me a message. I walked causiously over to it. It was an email. From Jasmine. I clicked the read button before I could change my mind. She's probably worried sick about me

Where are you? I stopped by your house today since I haven't heard from you since school ended, and your parents said you are gone. As in missing! and then Billy came out with a broken arm and you do not want to know what he said claimed to happen. But anyways he said some weird guys wearing a cape and like black knight mask broke in and then you vanished. Kali, please if you get this, let me know if you are ok. If you're in some kind of trouble let me help you. I wont tell any one where you are, I double pinky promise. I miss you, hope to talk to you soon. Or even better, I hope to see you soon.

I let out a sob and was even more thankful knowing Keith and Pablo weren't home. I don't know why, but I couldn't stop myself from hitting the reply button.

Hey Jas,

God so much has happened since we last saw each other. And I swear I would tell you everything if I could, but I cant. It is too dangerous. So please don't worry about me. The less you know the safer it is for you. And trust me if I could take back everything that I now know I would. My life is changing Jas. I am a different person now. The one thing I will tell you is, For once you should believe Billy. He's not crazy. I will be ok. I miss you so much. But I think it will be for the best if you don't try to message me anymore. I am so sorry I didn't say good bye. I had no choice. Please don't be angry with me. I love you with all my heart. Good bye Jas.

I clicked send and closed my lap top. I know I shouldn't have sent her that message, but I couldn't stand knowing she is worrying about me so much. There was a knock at the front door so I wiped my eyes and went to answer it.

My heart stopped as I stared up at the two cops standing at my doorstep. One of them holding my purse. Crap, I must have left it behind after I ran from the sirens.

" Are you Kali Donoly?" The male asked in a demanding tone.
