Cora's Story.
People hustled down the cold January sidewalk as Cora headed down the familiar street to her home. She had often walked these streets at night, coming home from working the late shift. Trying to make just another penny to help her family scrape by.
But tonight was different, and Cora knew it. She had a feeling, like a knot in her stomach. Cora was often prone to have premonitions, sometimes a strange dream involving something that would later happen.
Now as she walked through the crowded streets of New York she felt hopelessly alone.
She brushed a lock of curly dark hair behind her ear. Suddenly as if he appeared out of nowhere a man appeared, he wasn't much older than 19, only a year older than Cora. He grabbed her wrist firmly.
"Don't struggle." He whispered as she tried to pull away. "We don't want to cause a scene do we?" he smirked as he said it and Cora's brown eyes met with the light haired fellows cold blue eyes.
He continued to pull her by her wrist down the street until they reached a spot near the docks of Brooklyn. Cora recognized the spot as a place she had once gone fishing with her brothers and sisters when they were much younger.
He pushed her down, hard. She banged her head against the wood of the dock. She leapt up as fast as she could without making the wound on her head throb too much.
"What do you want from me?" she yelled as she attempted to back away from her on coming pursuer.
"Only your blood, sweetie." He replied as he grinned baring a pair of fangs.
Cora screamed at the sight of the teeth and David pounced on her with cat like precision.
He was on top of her in less than a second and Cora didn't have the strength to get him off. "It will only hurt for a second." He said before biting into her neck.
She was the first.
So this is like my first serious LB fic and I would really love to hear what anybody thinks. And just to say the next chapters will be the other girl's stories. And don't forget this is 1938 right now but it will later turn into the 80's. Thanks.
