Chapter 1
I ran; the afternoon sun beating down on my cheeks making them burn. Where my hair was tied up I could feel a pulsing sensation in the rhythm of my heartbeat, it was making me dizzy.
"Keep it up Courtney 3 more laps." Mr Carven yelled out across the training oval. Mr Nicolas Craven was my sports teacher; he was a fat teacher with a guilty sign of torture written all over him. He should be the one running 9 laps of the training oval but instead he makes his classes do it, EVERY single module of sport class, cloud, rain or shine. Mr Craven even takes out a chair to sit on sometimes while he watched us with sweat dripping of our foreheads. He was an awful teacher but I had to admit that this running was helping my metabolism get into better shape.
When I had one more lap left I caught up to Rose, well I was a lap ahead of her so I was nearly over taking her.
"How can you do this Courtney, it's completely and utterly ridiculous." Rose complained between deep exaggerated breaths.
Rose's copper hair shimmered in the sunlight and her green eyes sparkled. She looked like a beauty next to me but hey, I don't really care who I'm compared to. I had silky Chocolate brown hair and grey eyes, which sometimes turned black according to my moods.
"Come on Rose, finish this up so we can leave early your staying at my place remember." I ran faster past her, keeping my breathing in time.
After 6th module had finished, Rose and I headed off towards the back of the school. My mother wouldn't pick us up so we had to walk home with sore legs.
"Courtney? Why do we have to walk can't we just hitch a ride?" Rose complained. We were only 3 blocks from my house.
"It isn't that far and would you really like to catch a ride home with a stranger... remember what happened last year?" I whispered the last words.
Rose took a big breath and looked away from me. "I don't want to ever talk about it."
*Flashback 8 months ago*
It was August when Rose and I snuck out late at night to go to a party. Pretty stupid idea, we were only 15. Anyway the party was with some hot seniors that kept to themselves, everyone wanted to go to this party because of that fact.
It was a chilly night but we still wore cocktail dresses and heeled shoes (extremely hard to get out of a window two storeys up). We did a pretty good job of getting away from my house but we didn't expect the danger we were running into.
The party was pumping, lights flashing and people gathering.
"This is going to be the best night ever." Rose said excitedly.
"It's not going to be if you can't make it to the door." The shoes that Rose was wearing made her legs shake, they were ludicrous.
"I'll get there." With that she pushed me aside and took the lead.
Inside everywhere we could see food and drinks being passed around. We took a glass each without worrying about what was in it. We took two swigs and they were empty.
We didn't really know anyone at the party so we stood off in the corner and laughed between each other, while looking out for guys.
Half way through the night Axel, one of the guys who was throwing the party came up to us.
"Would you girls like a drink, with me?" He flashed us a stunning grin and we just nodded like one of those bobble heads.
We followed him up some stairs and into a deserted room, where there was a velvet red sofa in the middle and a stereo off to the side.
"Hey Axel, so umm... are you going out with anyone?" Rose asked to cover the awkward silence.
"Not if you don't want me to." He moved his hand to gesture that we could sit down. "What are your names?"
"I'm Courtney and this is Rose." I replied because Rose was off with the fairies.
"Well it's nice to meet you." He snipped the door locked.
"Why did you do that?" I was edgy.
"Do you want all the girls barging through the door then." He cocked his head to the side.
Rose sat up straight and leaned over to look into his eyes. "Most defiantly not!"
Axel slowly walked around the sofa to Rose. His hand brushed over her cheek, he leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Rose followed his movements.
I felt uncomfortable and stood up. Axel grabbed my wrist while he was still kissing Rose. I tried to pull away but he was too strong.
Then he started kissing my wrist, moving up until he reached the hollow of my neck.
The next thing I knew was that he had bit into my neck and I was screaming. I fainted not long after.
Rose had told me what had happened afterwards, she had run to the door while he was with me and grabbed a knife that she found in the bathroom. She came back and stabbed him in the guts. She pulled me away but I had to go to the hospital from loss of blood.
*Present*
Because of that party, we have known about the creatures of the night. We have been intertwined with them ever since. It is extremely hard to live a normal life.
