Being forced out of your home town because someone you thought you could trust put your life in danger. It's the worst feeling in the world.
Three months ago Marnie raised her bird from the dead. That was what started her heartless slaughtering.
Seemed so small, an action that shouldn't lead to such anarchy. But, that's what happened.
The events that followed turned my world upside down. Vampires found out that we were practicing necromancy.
One of them came, Marnie cursed him. The shit began at an enormously fast pace after that.
Antonia was supposed to be the one behind all of the evil things that were happening. But it was really Marnie, using her powers to hurt and murder innocent people.
As soon as I could get away, I did. I got as far as I could from Bon Temps.
That brought me to Conway, South Carolina. There was no contact from Louisiana whatsoever for three months and 6 days. I thought I was untraceable, until he found me…
The wind blew my hair around my face as walked down the silent streets of downtown Conway.
As I inched closer to the small bistro I worked at, I felt eyes on me. It was something I was good for, I knew when someone was looking at me.
"Oh hey Silver." Anna bumped into me as I got to the back door of the bistro.
"Anna, god, you scared me." I sighed and went by her into the kitchen.
As I worked, the feeling of being watched increased. It was only when he walked in that I realized it was him.
His tall frame was easily attention grabbing. He walked over to a table and sat on the stool closest the window. I stopped breathing completely. Running to the kitchen I bumped into Anna yet again.
"Did you see the sexy vampire that just walked in. You're lucky, he's in your area." She smirked.
"Yeah, lucky." I said as I tried again to get into the kitchen.
"He's that way, stupid." She laughed as she pushed me out from behind the bar.
He saw me. There was a smile on his face.
Swallowing back pure fear I walked to his table holding my hands at my sides to stop them from shaking.
"Good evening." He purred looking out of the window.
His reflection stood out in the window, he stared at me without actually looking at me.
"Beautiful moon tonight." He said.
"Yuh-yes, it is." My god awful stutter reared it's ugly head when I was scared shitless.
Stopping myself I realized there were tons of ways I could handle this. The best one was to retreat to the kitchen and just slip out the back. The faster I could get home the least dead I'd be.
I turned to leave, I could hear him say something else, but I wasn't sure if it was in English. Anna almost bumped into me again, but I threw my hand up. She froze.
I threw my small smock on the floor and grabbed my bag. As I unfroze Anna she looked at me, she was confused, but I wouldn't explain.
I headed out of that place as fast as I could. It seemed like hiding was the one thing I could rely on.
As I approached the river walk I could hear the wind whistle through the nearby trees. It made me uneasy for no good reason. My apartment was just across the river walk, I could see it now.
The first thing I realized was how cold his hands were.
"Hello little witch." He hissed through his fangs.
The sharp pain of his teeth cutting into my neck made me screech. He put his hand over my mouth.
"Shh, now, we don't want to wake the neighbors." He whispered into my ear.
"I'm a fu-fucking necromancer you asshole." I cried out.
"I know that little witch. Why else do you think I came for you?" He smiled with my blood falling from his lips.
He released me, I was about to run when he caught me by my hair.
"No, no. Not so fast little witch. I believe we have a score to settle." He chuckled wiping my blood off of his face.
"Please, please. Don't kill me." I cried.
"Oh, I'm not going to kill you." He shook his head with a smile. "I'm going to use you." He whispered.
His harsh words were the last thing I heard before it all went black.
