Once Bitten, a paranormal romance

Chapter One

       CHAPTER 1

It has been 10 years since my parents death. I'm roaming the streets with only a sling-shot to protect me. Running away from police cars that pass because I don't want to be taken away and put in an orphanage.

 I do not know what I'm going to do next, but I do have an idea. First, Im going to Pennsylvania. Yes it's a long way to walk from New Jersey, but I have to.

My plan is to kill any vampires that I can find. I mean Pennsylvania is somewhat like Transylvania right? Anyway I'm going to take my revenge on all vampires because of what happened with my parents. You're probably asking how many vampires I've killed aren't you? Well the truth is, I haven't found one yet, I will though . . . . . . . soon . . . . . . . .

Well I have about 60 bucks in my belly bag. Okay, I know this wrong but I had to do it. I sort of stole the money. . . . . . and the belly bag.

You see, when people are walking by and try to get me, I do what pretty much everyone would do. I grab the closest rock and sling-shot it at the person. Then, I take their money and by myself food or something.

Right now, I'm living in a cardboard box in the woods. Yeah it sounds sad, but it's actually quite comfy. I have a pillow, two blankets, a couple outfits, food and drinks, and of course, my trusty sling-shot.

Today, I didn't do much. I basically stayed home. Of course, home is made of cardboard, but what's the difference? Anyway, right now I'm having breakfast. I bought a $5.00 bag of bagels I can toast on the fire I made.

Yes, I can make a fire. I'm not some girlie-girl that cries over everything, you know. I'm a girl with a spunk.

Breakfast was pretty yummy. I did buy some peanut butter to but on my bagels.

I decided to go to the library today. I still have my library card since my parents death. Luckily, the day they passed away, I had gone to the library and had my library card in my back pocket along with $30.00 I saved.

Well anyway, I'm going to check-out a book on vampires. You know the saying "Know your enemy".

****************************************************************************************************************

When I got to the library there were police out front, so I hid behind a bush. "Excuse me, have you seen a 15 year old girl. Blonde hair, brown eyes. Is alone?" One of the police officers asked a homeless guy. That's what I looked like.

"No, but you might want to check in the woods. Alot of people have little cardboard boxes as a comfy home." The homless man said smiling.

Oh no!!! They are going to raid my home!!! I have to get there, before they do. So I started running, as fast as my feet would go.

As soon as I was in front of my house, I grabbed the sides of my cardboard box, pushed down and it folded into a little suitcase. I made it myself. It was hard but, I did it. So I grabbed it, and climbed in a tree.

I waited in the tree until they came.

"Little girl!" One of the police shouted. Gosh, I'm not a little girl you know. I'm 15 for heaven's sake. "What's her name again?" The police that called me a 'little' girl asked his partner. "It's Jane stupid." The other policeman told him. I squinted down trying to make out there names. The one that called me 'little' girl, was named Officer Chuck. The other guy was named Officer Dave.

"She's not here, Dave." Chuck told him. "We can't give up, Chuck. This girl has to either go to an orphanage or get adopted!" Dave yelled. They were silent.

Suddenly my foot slipped, but I stayed in the tree. The bad part though, it made a loud noise. "What was that?" Chuck muttered. "It's her . . . . . . I can feel it in my bones. . . . ." Dave replied.

Dave sniffed the air like a dog. I held my breath, hopefully they wont find me . . . . . "She's in the tree . . . . " Dave said. Chuck looked up, and he saw me. "Leave me alone!" I shouted, but I realized, that wasn't a good idea. My foot slipped again and I fell.

"We found you." Chuck announced. Dave rolled his eyes, then grabbed my wrists.

"Let go of me!!!" I yelled trying to pull away, but Dave was too strong. Then I had an idea, so I let him take me to the police car.

****************************************************************************************************************

One thing that the two policemen forgot to do, was handcuff me to the seat. That was part of my plan.

"How do we know it's her?" Chuck asked, pretending I wasn't there. " We are going to put her in an Integragation room, Duh." Dave said annoyed.

Chuck turned around to look at me. "Well she sure is a pretty one." He said winking at me. Ugh. I pretended I didn't see him. "Shut up Chuck, and would you stop flirting with the homeless girl." Dave snapped.

Then I made my move. I grabbed the door handle of the car, and jumped out. I didn't fall though, I ran.

"HEY GET BACK HERE!!!" I heard Dave yell angrily, but they didn't chase me.

Never, I thought, and kept on running
