Lily ran as fast as she could through the dark forest, avoiding branches from the trees and roots sticking out from the ground. She turned her head to look back and saw big, glistening red eyes watching her. Pure evil filled them, sending a chill down her spine. As she ran faster trying to escape the eyes, she felt a hand reach out and grab her. Screaming as she was turned she looked into a pair of hazel eyes. She backed away slightly to see the persons face and saw-

"Lily!"

Emerald eyes shot open with gasps of air. She had had the dream again. They had been happening since school started which was 3 months ago. Sitting up slowly, she saw her best friend Dawn Kortz sitting on her bed next to hers, fully dressed watching Lily with concern. The other girls in the dorm were still sleeping.

"The dream?"

Lily simply nodded. Dawn understood everything about her. It was like they were long lost sisters or something…

"You want to go out? Maybe some fresh air will help? Or getting a snack." Dawn smiled slightly.

Lily nodded her head. "Yeah. Let me just wash up a little." She got up and paused at the bathroom. "What time is it anyway?"

Dawn, who was already dressed in black jeans and a black hoodie, glanced at one the other girl's clocks. "4:30 in the morning."

Lily smiled wickedly. "Perfect time to go and get a snack." Dawn nodded her head enthusiastically.

As Lily walked into the bathroom, she saw how horrible she looked in the mirror (that whole vampires don't have reflections thing was a total lie created by the vampire Fracas in the mid 1700's to make suspicion of being a vampire less likely). Well, only she would think so. If you asked anyone else, they would all say she was still beautiful. Lily's usually neutral emerald eyes held a jumble of emotions in them making them brighter and her wavy red hair that had been in a neat ponytail when she first fell asleep, was out and fell down to her shoulder blades. And her usually pale skin was flushed slightly, giving her a faint blush.

Quickly, she washed her face and brushed her hair leaving it down. When she got out, she quickly changed into black jeans and a black hoodie much like Dawn's.

Her best friend Dawn smiled at her. Dawn had straight black hair the same length as Lily's and had blue eyes with some purple in them. Also like her best friend, she had pale skin only as Lily had light freckles on her nose, Dawn had none.

There was a reason why Lily and Dawn were best friends. Yes, they enjoyed each others company, yes, they had the same interests, and yes, they were loyal to each other but there was one thing that really made their friendship tick.

They were both vampires.

Lily had been adopted into her family from an orphanage when they found that Claudia Evans, Lily's mother, couldn't have any more children after an unfortunate car accident. They already had Lily's sister Petunia but had wanted a second child as well. Lily's parents loved her deeply and had accepted her even after they discovered she was a vampire.

She had first shown signs of it when she was about 5 years old. Lily had always been quite pale and never liked bright things even as a toddler but it was when she started eating raw meat from the fridge that her parents knew something was up. At first, they just scolded her and told her not to and she hadn't even realized what she had done.

However after a week, she became even paler than before and extreme tiredness came over her. She slept through the day and was wide awake at night. As Jacob Evans (her father) was a doctor, he performed some blood tests on her only to find nothing wrong. Then one day, Lily had come running down to him telling him to look at her new teeth. Thinking she meant her baby tooth had fallen out and a new one was growing, he looked but was shocked by what he saw.

There were fangs in her mouth!

It was then that her parents realized what she was. But they also realized that she was still the same little girl who would never harm them. Sweet, innocent Lily. And so they accepted it and for her meals, got her raw meat from the local butcher.

Lily's sister Petunia however was not so accepting...

Petunia had never really like Lily from the moment she had been adopted. She was a spoiled child and seeing the light on not only her made her angry. She felt that Lily had taken away what was hers and never really forgave her for it. After hearing her sister was a vampire and that her parents weren't having her leave, Petunia only got worse and avoided Lily at all costs and never really talked to her. This hurt Lily very deeply.

Then, a few years later when she turned 11, the news of Lily being a witch came. This made Mr. and Mrs. Evans happy while it made Petunia have even more dislike and fear of Lily. She refused to talk to her and even for some time, be in the same room as her.

Dawn's story wasn't so bright. She had been born into a large family of pureblood vampires, the Delarosa coven. It had been one of the largest in the world. She had inherited the witch in her from her mother, whose mother had own mother had been a witch and father a vampire.

Then, when she was 4 years old, her family was murdered by an evil man named Tom Riddle. He had wanted the family as an ally of his in his plan to get rid of all muggles, muggle-borns, and half-bloods. But they had refused. So using dark magic, he killed all but Dawn. Leaving her half dead in front of her burning home.

She was found by a neighbor and brought to an orphanage but nobody wanted her because of her strange appearance. So, until she was 11, Dawn had lived at the orphanage. When she had left the orphanage for Hogwarts, she changed her last name to Kortz to avoid anyone from finding her true identity and she certainly wasn't expecting to make any friends what so ever. However, once she and Lily met, they had just … clicked. Though there had been a fight or two first. The two had so much in common and yet were so different. Lily was responsible and thought of her actions before actually doing them while Dawn was more free flowing, acting on instinct.

After their first year together, Lily had offered Dawn to come and stay with her over the summer instead of the orphanage. Claudia and Phillip had been so happy that their daughter had made a friend and another vampire no less! Petunia was more then freaked out than happy and had stayed over at friend's houses throughout the summer rather than with two vampire witches.

Both girls also had special powers with being vampires. They could transform into their true forms (though it was a rare occurrence), speak to one another via mind, have incredible strength and other abilities. Lily and Dawn however had abilities rare to vampires. Lily's dream often were prophetic and Dawn had visions of things that were going to happen.

Tying her laces to her converses, Lily stood up to see Dawn already by the door, looking eager to get out. "Ready?" Lily nodded and the two silently closed the door.

The girls snuck down the stairs quietly entering the common room. After seeing no other students by the dying fire or on the couches, the girls silently opened the portrait door, not even disturbing the Fat Lady from her sleep, and blended into the dark shadows going towards the entrance hall.

They were near the large doors and had only encountered Nearly Headless Nick on the way down when they were stopped in their tracks.

"Where are you two going so early?"

Both girls spun around quickly taking out their wands to see…

HA! Cliffhanger! Lol! Who do you think it is? A Slytherin? A teacher? A MARAUDER?!?! Find out in the next chapter! And please, if you want, REVIEW!
