Blood & Winter

Prologue

Hey everyone. This is the first story I have uploaded to Wattpad. I am LITERALLY breaking my novel down into parts for y'all...

I am really looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks.... please leave a comment or vote so I know y'all are enjoying this!!!

Thanks so much!!

I would like to take a moment and put something out there. This is a pretty much UNEDITED version of the first novel that I've ever written.

Constructive criticism is always a good thing. If you have something to say about what is written, how it is written, those kind of comments would be much appreciated if they were done in private. No need to tear apart something I have worked hard on publicly.

Prologue

       "Why is it so hard for you to admit how you feel about me?" He voice rough, the muscles along his jawline,  clenched in aggravation. It was almost nauseating to see him so angry, at me.

        I didn't want to be back on this again. My heart twisted in my chest uncomfortably. I was never good under the pressure of confrontation. I folded easily to avoid arguments, it was one of my worst flaws. 

         Anxiously, I glanced down at the GPS. We were only about another forty minutes away from the cabin August said he was taking us to. I was excited and wary all at once. It would be awkward as hell if we didn't settle this once and for all.
   
      I knew that I loved him, but saying it to him out loud, I just felt like that was putting a death sentence on our whole relationship. I know he needed to hear me say it, who was I to deny him? Its just three words Cass, spit them out. I took a deep breath and was about to answer him, when from the corner of my eye, I saw a car coming at us from the opposite lane. I began to swerve, speeding  uncontrollably towards us.
     

      Everything suddenly felt as though we were moving in slow motion. I saw August turn to me, I heard him calling my name. I saw his arm reach out to push me back into my seat. I saw the look of complete helplessness on his face. And then I felt the impact.

     I was propelled forwards, despite his efforts to protect me. My body slammed against the windshield. I heard, and felt it shatter around, as I was thrown through the air. The bones in my body cracked and snapped, as I slammed into the ground.

     Then all I saw was black.

     The ringing in my ears was piercing. But somewhere behind it,  I could hear his voice calling out to me.

    "Cassandra, please, baby, open your eyes!" I felt my body being shaken. Why was August yelling at me? Ugh, what was that dripping down my scalp? Why do I feel like I'm lying on the street? And fuck, why does my body hurt so much.

Oh, that's right.

     I tried to force my eyes open, but it was taking the entirety of the lingering strength I had to do so. Yet, I tried harder.     
     

"Aa...August..." I could barely speak.  Everything hurt so much. "August... I love you." I tried to convince my brain and my body to function together, but they had stubbornly decided against any sort of collaboration with each other.
     "August..."  My fingers softly dug into his arms as I felt the blackness creeping around me again. This time it was pulling me much deeper than before, and I knew I wouldn't be able to find my way back.  August pulled me into his arms. I pressed my face into his chest, wanting to take my last breath while breathing in his sweet scent.
     "Cassandra, listen to me. Cassandra!"  I felt him slap my face. My eyes flew open, and I saw his two, beautiful green eyes only inches from my own. "Cassandra, do you trust me?"

     What was he mumbling about? Of course I did. With my life.
    

 "Always." I said while trying to smile at him.
    

      The last thing I remember was seeing two razor-sharp teeth shoot out from his gums, and then felt him sink them deep into my neck.

And then, the blackness won.
