Paige Akerman could be just like you. A 17 year old dreaming about her first morning waking up in her dorm. Senior year just beginning and the blood pounding and rushing through her veins.
One step…
Two steps…
Three steps…
Up until you reach the front double door gates.
But her story isn’t like yours because you are still alive, and Paige Akerman isn’t.
She tried so hard not to be herself. She thought she “wasn’t good enough”. She thought she was alone. But she wasn’t. It is sad how she notices after it is too late.
Paige didn’t know more people cared about her than she ever imagined. Over 200 people arrived to her funeral, grieving her loss. Her neighbors, family, classmates, soccer team, teachers, and so many more people arrived, bawling their eyes out.
This story is based on a true story. I would know. Paige Akerman is my sister. And this is her story.

Unintentional Passion
Geovanni Have you ever gotten that feeling that somebody was watching you? And that person who was watching you wasn't normal. I have felt that way all of my life; but then again I felt as if I went missing nobody would even notice or care I was gone. I am 23 and just graduated from college. I was there an extra year because I had to take care of my family. I had to transfer back into the city and pick up the extra work because my mom died, and my dad became addicted to anything that would numb his pain. My little sister and brother would be lost without me here. But now I could care less. A cold breeze blew through my window waking me up from my thoughts. I looked over in the corner and saw that nothing was there. It was odd because I felt like someone well more like something was there. It had to be my imagination getting the best of me. I laid back in my bed and closed my eyes. Then all of a sudden I got the feeling I wasn't alone. But the really strange thing is that even if there was someone in here with me I felt safe. Jordan. I watched her as she slept. In fact I have been watching her since she was born. I have waited half a century to find that one person. I think I have finally settled on her. She was my choice. I know. After being in as many relationships as I have you know things. I felt my fangs tingle. Her blood smelled so sweet. Her heartbeat was steady and strong. I took my tongue and ran it across my fang. The temptation to indulge in her red liquid was far too strong. I let out a low growl and jumped out her window. I was ready for a hunt. "Did you see her Jordan?" "Yes, and tomorrow night you will turn her," "Why do I have to turn her?" "Ezra, you know once you turn them, they hate you," "I didn't hate pops," "You wanted to join though," "True, but first see if she wants to be turn before you jump to conclusions," I nodded my head, before me and Ezra took off to find some fresh blood for the night.
Never have I ever
Paige had never meant for this to happen. It's not like she had wanted to fall for a gorgeous beyond belief, bad boy. It's not like she had wanted to become famous overnight. It's not like she wanted to be plagued by the paparazzi or have her best friend fall for her. But it all happened, all because of that stupid game. ********************** This is a story I decided to do because most of the books I write are of the mysterious or supernatural sort. I kind of wanted to try something new. I hope you like it.Complete
