Prologue

I sat on my bed in total darkness. I could not fall asleep. Thousands of things kept running through my mind. I kept asking myself why I was doing this, why was I was risking my life and the lives of my two best friends. The infection had reached the Canadian border and was moving quickly across Canada. For our safety, the one and only entrance onto Deadwood was destroyed. The hour long bridge was demolished from one end to the other.

Deadwood was a huge island south of Nova Scotia and East of Massachusetts. This has been my home since 1291. It was now summer of 2008. Once it was out in the news that the horrific infection had reached California, the queen of Deadwood decided it was best to stop anyone from coming onto the island. Akasha Sarah Good was our queen and she was also my mother. She was the one who decided I should go to Miami, Florida to pick up my best friend and also a fellow vampire, Monica Maria Rodriguez. We would drive back together, picking up survivors as we went along. I had no objections at first but now I was starting to question whether I should go. Akasha told me I could do it. She reminded me of who I was. I was Kristina Dawn Ramirez, princess of Deadwood. A vampire.

People judged vampires way too harshly. We weren't blood thirsty creatures like people thought we were. People knew nothing about who we were. We are not allergic to light, but we do prefer darkness. We can also see well in dim light. If we do get hurt, we heal very quickly. We rarely get sick. I haven't been sick for several centuries. We are stronger, not superhuman but just a bit more than average. We move swiftly and often go unnoticed by humans as we move through the shadows of the night. We love dark rich fabric such as leather and velvet. Vampires are very good with animals. I loved animals. I had a black panther, a mink, a baby fox, a black bobcat and a baby chimpanzee as my pets. No one else could get near my animals except for my close friends and I. Also, vampires could read people easily. I was especially good at that.
