Prologue
Alleena tried her hardest not to cry…no she couldn't cry, but the pain just hurt so much. She closed her eyes and began to hum to tone out the priest. She stood before the graves of her family: her mother, father, older brother, and lastly her twin. All of them dead. They said it was some freak accident, but Alleena knew the truth. She saw the marks on their necks and saw the blood all over the room; vampires killed her family. Although no one would believe her, they would believe she had gone completely physco and send her to some mental hospital.
"Poor girl, where is she to go now?" "Probably to her aunt." "An orphan now…" "It must be horrible to come home one day and find her whole family dead." "To think that she could have been dead too if she was there just seconds earlier…" Voices of sympathy filled around her. They all talked as if she couldn't hear, and when they talked directly to her they never said the words 'dead' nor 'family' for fear that she would break down.
Alleena's aunt, Susan, approached her carefully, "Honey…we are going to have to pack your things soon…" Alleena knew that her aunt didn't really want her. Susan lived a much different and high standard life that Alleena and her family did. She had looked down upon Alleena's parents' marriage and always said it was doomed to fail.
Alleena opened her eyes and looked at her aunt. "I will NOT be going with you. I'm turning eighteen within the next few weeks. Go back to your perfect little life." She spat at her.
Susan was taken back by her niece's cold harsh words. It appeared as if tears were about to fall down the perfect cheeks, but Alleena turned away and walked back to her car.
'No one understands…no one would believe me…I'll get my revenge…no matter what it will take.'
