I sat and watched as my brother Jesse finished draining the blood out of the young woman. Its amazing how numb I'd become to it all, how numb he had become. Over five hundred years as a vampire has the ability to deprive you of your empathy for human life. There was a time when I tried to spare their lives, a time I cared. Once upon a time me and my brother would hardly be considered monsters, we were Innocent. Even when we were first turned five hundred and forty six years ago we clung to our humanity. But after a century of losing everyone we ever loved or cared about, we stopped trying to cling too it. The realization that life without emotional attachments is much easier changed us. And with each passing century we grew more and more indifferent to the world around us and the people who inhabited it. Some may consider this sad, not me though. Emotions had become a burden much to heavy for me to carry through the century's. I watched as the last bit of life faded from the woman. Jesse roughly dropped her lifeless body to the ground while wiping his mouth. "Well that was Delicious." He said with a crooked smile. "But I'm still hungry, care to join me on another hunt Alexandria?" He asked looking my way. "No I'm bored with this, I'll see you at home." I responded before standing up to leave the dark alley way. "Suit yourself baby sister." He shrugged as he walked away. I watched as he stalked back into the club we had found the woman in earlier before turning around to start my walk home. The sun would be rising soon, not that that mattered much to me. Despite what myths you may have heard the sun merely weakens us, it does not kill. And even weakened we are still stronger then the humans. Because of this the daylight hours never bothered me. I walked down the street mildly paying attention to my surroundings when I heard it, a girl screaming. I don't know why I started to walk in the direction of the scream. Normally I'd just keep walking and ignore it. What should I care? Its just a human life right? But for some reason I couldn't just leave this time. I turned the corner and standing before me where three men with a young girl laying on the ground between them. One of the men was on top of her trying to unbutton her jeans while she fought back. She looked to be in her late teens too early twenties, with long brown hair and brown eyes. I couldn't take my eyes off of her, something about her was pulling me in. Something about her was making me feel.... something. All of a sudden it felt like all the air was sucked out of me and I couldn't breath. My heart rate increased and my palms started to sweat. What was happening to me? I was abruptly pulled out of my daze when the man on top of her struck her to shut her up I assume; and from the looks of it made her pass out. He then began to try and take her clothes off again and before I could even think twice about it I acted. There are many wonderful things about being a vampire. Speed, strength, compulsion, longevity, just a few of the advantages. Using my speed and strength I took out the two guys waiting for their turn in less then a second. I swiftly pulled the low life that was on the girl off and pinned him to the wall before tearing into his neck with my fangs. I drank until there was nothing left and let his body fall in a heap to the ground. I turned back to the girl on the ground and just stared. Why did I care whether she lived or died? I didn't know her, it should have been just like every other night. Every other time I heard a scream rip through the dark and just kept moving. But for some reason she was different, she felt different. I knelt down beside the girl to pull her wallet out of the back pocket of the jeans she was wearing. I removed her I.D. from it to see who this girl was. "Freya Marie Hays" I whispered as I read it. I looked back down at her and let out a long sigh. I couldn't just leave her here so I looked at her address and picked Freya up. I would take her home so she would be safe for the night. Again it was a myth that we could not enter a home without an invitation. It often amused me the stories humans would come up with for vampires. Garlic, Holy water, crosses, none of these things worked to dispel us. The only truth to the myths would be the stake too the heart. That would bring someone of my kind to the true death. But humans rarely had a chance to even try. I used my speed to arrive at her house within a minute and her keys to open the front door. I quietly moved through her house, passed a room that had two middle aged adults slumbering within. I assumed they where her parents and continued on. I passed a room with a young boy sleeping, he looked to be around the same age as Freya, give or take a year or two. I kept walking until I came to the only empty bedroom in the house. I took the room in as I walked to her bed. There was a guitar and keyboard sitting in one corner. Posters of the bands she enjoyed littered the walls and there was sheet music covering the desk in another corner. I couldn't help but smile as I looked around, it was strange I didn't know why. I gently laid her down in her bed and pulled the covers up over her. I just stood there watching her sleep, the even rise and fall of her chest as she slowly breathed in and out. Why was this girl different, why am I so fascinated by her? I asked myself these questions as I looked on. She looked so peaceful at this moment. I reached down to brush the hair out of her face and as I did she began to stir. Using my inhuman speed I left the house before she could fully open her eyes. As soon as I was out of the house I stopped to look back. Again it felt like something was pulling me back to her. I couldn't explain it if I tried. Ever since I saw her its like I'm connected to her. Like there was some invisible force linking us together. I wasn't going to be able to just walk away this time. I needed to know this girl.
Freya's POV
I felt someones hand on my face, gently brushing my hair back behind my ear. Their hand felt so soft when it connected with my skin. Where was I? My eyes fluttered open and for a second I thought I saw a girl, but then she was just gone. I groggily looked around my room. How did I get here? My head was pounding and i tried to think back to last night. Tessa, who was one of my two best friends, had convinced me to go too some club with her so I had snuck out. I remember trying to convince Jeremy, my other best friend to come with. But he couldn't get out without being noticed so he passed. We had stayed out all night dancing and having fun. I remember it had started to get late, well early I guess is more accurate. But Tessa wasn't ready to leave the party yet so I opted to walk home by myself. That's when the memory hit me. There had been three guys who where obviously drunk hanging out on one of the street corners. When they saw me they wolf whistled and started asking me questions like, "What's your name honey?" and "you looking for a good time?" I had tried to just continue walking and ignore them but one of them had grabbed me. "Where you going honey? We asked you some questions." He said with his face only a couple inches away from my own. I remembered trying to pull myself out of his grasp and him throwing me to the ground laughing. I had screamed while the guy who grabbed me climbed on top of me and started to try and take off my clothes. I new I didn't have a chance in hell of fighting off all three guys but I still wasn't going to make it easy for them. I fought back as best I could. Kicking, punching, scratching, trying anything to get the man off of me while his friends sat back and watched while laughing. As I was trying to fight the man off something happened. It felt like I was being pulled towards something, I couldn't really explain the sensation. I tried to push passed it and scream again. And as I did I noticed something in my peripheral vision. A girl standing there watching, but as soon as I looked at her I felt something hard hit my head and blacked out.
As I returned from the memory to my present location in my room I reached up and felt the back of my head. There was a large lump there from where I had been hit. Well I guess that means it really happened. My mind wandered back to the girl I had seen on the corner. She was beautiful, with long brown hair and brown eyes, average height with an hour glass shape. Something about her just seemed so perfect so... right. Then it hit me, how did I get back to my room. I looked around in astonishment unable to remember the journey back to my home. Then I remembered "That girl." I whispered under my breathe. When i had first woken up I thought I saw a girl but in a second she was gone. I thought I was imagining things but... maybe she really was here. I went to stand up and immediately felt a wave of dizziness and nausea hit me and I sat back down instantly. My head felt like it was splitting but I had to see if that girl was here. Again I tried to stand and slowly made my way through my bedroom door. I tiptoed through my house looking in every room as i went. My younger brother Mikael was fast asleep in his room, and the same goes for my parents. I walked through the living room checking the kitchen and dining room on my way to the front door. There was no sign of her at all. The back door had been locked when I passed it but as I approached the front door I realized it was not. I slowly opened the door and stepped out onto my front porch. The sun was rising and a dim light illuminated the street in front of me. I looked around but again there was no sign of her anywhere. I walked down the steps into my front lawn craning my neck around looking for any sign of a person, but none could be found. But even though the street appeared to be deserted I felt as though someone was watching me. I looked around one last time before walking back up the front steps and into my home. Who was that girl? Had she saved me? Did she bring me back home? A million different questions where racing through my mind at the moment and I didn't have answers for any of them. I felt exhausted and my head still hurt like hell. I slowly made my way back to my room and laid down in my bed. Whatever the answers to my questions where I would have to wait until I got some sleep to find them. As I started to drift off my mind went back to the girl on the corner. She was stunning, I wonder if that pull I felt before I was knocked out had anything to do with her? I groaned as I smashed my head into my pillow. Yet another question I would need to find the answer too. Little did I know how extraordinary those answers would turn out to be.
