What I Felt Was Right (A Kurda Smahlt Story) Chap. 1

Hello Wattpad-ers.....This is one of my first stories, and I'm still trying to figure out how everything works here, so if you see any errors or have any suggestions for me, please let me know! I'm just starting out! I don't know how many people know about Cirque Du Freak, but more people should because they do NOT get enough love >< And just to clarify, I do not own ANYTHING except for Lia and her family. Everything else belongs to Darren Shan. 

Hope I do alright!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My name is Lia Hall. I am almost 21 years old.

I have nothing to live for except for one goal: to murder the man who ruined my life. And the word man? That's a generous term.

I was born in December. I got my dark cherry brown hair from Maria, my mother, and my bright blue eyes from Jacob, my father. My older brother Aiden was my best friend. My younger sister Mariah looked up to me, and wanted to be just like me. We were close. We were happy. 

Until that night.

When I was twelve, I woke up one night to hear the dying screams of my sister as one of those monsters drained her completely of her blood. 

Vampire.

My parents were brutally murdered right after Mariah, trying to fight him off. I was only able to escape because Aiden was brave, and used his own blood to distract the vampire long enough for me to escape. He was fifteen, and he sacrificed his life for me. 

I went to the police, but by the time they believed my story enough to come to the house, it was too late. The vampire was gone, and my family was dead. They believed I was in so much shock, I really did believe a vampire attacked. After all, they reasoned, I was only a child. They still treated it as a murder, but they never found any clues. They didn't believe me.

I was placed in protective care, but that was a big joke. I didn't want a replacement family. I wanted MY family. I ran. I devoted the next 8 years to training, so I could take down the beast myself. I studied facts about vampires. I learned their habits, their weaknesses.

Now I'm grown, and I found him. The vampire who took away everything that was important to me. Tonight, I am a killer. I fight in the dark.

Tonight, I get my revenge.
