Eclipsed

Prologue

It's been two months since my mother's death. I haven't talked to anyone about what happened or how i feel or how i'm doing. The reason is simply because i don't want them to know. I don't want them to think that i'm weak and that i cant handle the pain, because i can and i am.

Sadly, my mother only had one other sibling, my Aunt Venice, and she doesnt want to be my guardian now that my mother has passed. She told me that she didnt want to handle that much "responsibility" but i think its just because she doesnt like me. Honestly, ive never really liked her either so the feeling is pretty mutual. But that leaves me with no other choice than to live with my father, who lives in a city in Arizona, which from where i live, in England, is very far away from home. I never really got to know my dad all that well since he left when i was about 8. All i do know is that he was happy to cheat on my mum several times then left after he claimed it was "her fault he went to other women". The only contact ive had with him since is when he sends me money in the letter for my birthday (which i still havent used any of).

I dont want to go. I have friends here, friends that can't just be easily replaced. But at the same time, getting away from here and just getting a fresh start sounds so inviting. I need to get out of this place before it suffocates me. There are just too many memories and now adding a death on that list is just another reason for me to go.

So now here i am, greiving and dreading the moment when i reunite with my father and continue my life without my friends by my side and have no Kieran Baldwin to help control the vampire that i am.
