Beginning

Back in school, I only had one friend. My best friend. Ryder Caligan.
We were inseparable. Till he disappeared. The last year in high school and he just disappeared into thin air along with his family.
No one knows what happened to him.
And no one cares.
But me.

I live in Chicago where I work in a small cafe that has lots of business.
When I get the news that my dad died I revisit my old town, and find more than just my dead father.
I find Ryder. And I find his secrets he's been hiding his entire life from me.

That is, when he bit me.
