Nicci's Note: I have a lot to explain. If you didn't read my last author's note, then let me reiterate. I love my characters and my plot, but the words and flow… It wasn't enough to keep me content. So, for all of you who had actually bothered (Thank-You!) to continuously check for updates, I'm extremely sorry. I hope you'll still review my new one because it will be the best! I'm keeping my characters by the way. Jhillian and Jhesibelle will survive. With that introduction I give you the new and improved version of… Heart Bleed. (Don't you love that title?) I am not Stephenie Meyer or her publishing company, so I do not own any of her books, ideas, characters, or awesomeness.
Heart Bleed By Nicci or ForbiddenAppleTree
Preface
Jhillian had never anticipated much about her death. She had recognized the inevitable fact that it would come, but she thought that she would be well on in her years. Even if she had assumed that she would be killed drastically, she would have never imagined this.
Her friends and family stood protectively in front her and her sister, risking their lives for a lost cause. All of them, every last one, would be slaughtered slowly and cruelly by their kind. There would be no mercy, so there was no point in believing so.
The predator strolled, casually forward, until he was positioned in front of Jhillian. She sucked in perhaps her last breath of air, wincing at the used-to-be sweet scent.
He leaned in close to her, his icy breath on her exposed neck. She would die. Not with an attempt to save her life or even a scream. Just a silent, noble death.
Nicci's Note: That was short, I know. It was a preface though… I named the story this because a heart is a human need and a drop of blood is a vampire's survival drink. Please review!
