This was it, the end. I'm seventeen and about to die.

It seemed a very fitting way to die, although most unusual, a stake to the heart. He had one arm pinning me to the damp alley wall and the other holding the long hard stake to my heart. He was pushing the stake just hard enough to break the skin and a small trail of blood flowed down my sky blue dress, even in the darkness of night the contrast between the dress and the blood was startling. I was frozen with fear, I couldn't stick to the plan, I couldn't look away from those icy blue eyes. He said nothing but looked at me with a stare that seemed to speak a thousand words and yet say nothing at the same time. His eyes were flat, with no depth and no soul.I struggled and he pushed the stake further in, but just a little.

"Get off me!" I said with force but all my lips produced was a small quiet voice "If your going to kill me as well then just hurry up and do it already" tears rolled down my cheeks.

He still said nothing but a slight chuckle left his lips, he smiled a cruel smile that made my legs shake. After a few seconds of nothing something snapped and everything happened all at once, the stake was removed from my chest, he had pulled me to his body, my head went back and he sank his fangs into my was so painful, I struggled to get loose but that made it worse, it felt as if hot sharp blades were cutting up the inside of my neck. Things started to go blurry and slow and I knew it was the end, he was about to kill me like he had my parents. This beautiful dark creature was about to kill me before I could kill him, for the last ten years it had been my goal in life, make him pay.

I slipped out of consciousness and into the past, remembering the day we first met...

My parents and I had been camping in the woods as a treat for my birthday, we were quite far in, miles from anyone else, nice and quiet. We had all been huddled around the camp fire in the clearing where we had set up our tent, but soon I got tired and went inside the tent to sleep, I had fallen asleep to the gentle sounds of my parent laughter. I was woken suddenly to the sounds of my parent's scream.

I screamed myself and ran out the tent to see what was the matter and standing over my mother's lifeless body was a man, crouched and cradling her to him with his lips on her neck. He looked up at me from across the fire, his face dripping of my mothers blood, his eyes darted from me to my father's body which lay in a crumpled heap on the floor a few feet away from me and looked back at me again. He stood up letting my mother's body hit the floor and moved slowly towards me. I walked backwards towards the tent and tripped, hitting my head on the ground, my blood was running hot a fast from a cut down the side of my head and across my cheek. I remember closing my eyes tight and wishing it all away, the images flashing in my head, replaying themselves over and over. I could feel him above me now his breath hot and fast on my cold sweaty face. His hand touched my cheek and then nothing...

I woke up in hospital a few days later, my head hurt but I was OK. No one believed my story about the tall beautiful man and they told me that it had been a bear. They told be there had been a bear attack, that I was the only one to live and some how had stumbled out the woods to the side of a road, where a young couple in a car had found me and took me to the hospital. Even if there story made sense and mine still had unanswered questions I knew mine was true, my parents had been murdered. Even at seven years old I wasn't stupid, my parents were dead and the had been killed by a vampire.

And from then on my little seven year old mind had been made up, this vampire must die, I would make him pay, I would be something I never even thought possible. A vampire slayer.
