I sat there, tears streaming down my face, my hair askew. I shivered and drew my knees up to my chest. I rested my chin on top. A new set of tears fell and I buried my head in the crook of my knees.

I knew I looked crazy but right now I didn't care. The events played in my head over and over.

******* Flashback *******

I fumbled with the keys to get them in the lock, my hands shaking from the cold. I finally got it and turned the lock.

John, my fiance, with whom i've been engaged to for 4 months had told me to rush over to the house for a surprise. I had been so excited I left work early and headed straight for home. He didnt say anything but I was guessing he was ready to tell me the wedding was ready. When we got engaged he told me he wanted the whole wedding to be a surprise, so he hired a wedding planner to help him take care of it all.

I guess it was finally ready!

I rested my hand on the doorknoband exhaled. I opened the door to find all the lights turned off.

'Thats weird' I thought

"John?" I yelled

I was met with silence.

"Jo-ohn?" I yelled again

Still no answer.

I turned on the hallway light and walked into the living room. No one there.

I ran up the stairs to the bedrooms. I checked his bedroom first, then mine. I stopped in front of the door. I heard movement in the room. It sounded as if someone was going through my stuff...

I slowly opened the door and waited for my eyes to adjust to the darkness,which didnt take long due to my vampirism, and saw that there was barely any moonlight streaming through the window. It was a dark night.

A figure moved in the dark, and John turned towards me.

"I've been waiting for you. We need to talk." He said solemnly.

Panick ran through me like wildfire.

"Is something wrong with the wedding? The finance? I could work overtime at the office or maybe-"

"Selena." He said calmly.

"- I could do small odd-jobs for some quick cash! Im sure we can work something out, maybe borrow some money from the bank...get a loan for a- "

"SELENA." He exclaimed.

He held up his hand for me to stop, and I realized he had something in his other hand. With my vampiric senses I figured out what it was from here.

My whole body went rigid, and the blood running through my veins stopped cold. For a split second the world stopped. I couldnt move because I was paralyzed with fear. Not fear of him, or even what he was holding in his hand, but that everything I had strived so hard to achieve: a normal life, a place in human society, my vampirism staying a secret...

All about to come crashing down because of one object: a stake. Which only meant one thing, he knows.

I looked at him and out of all the things I could have said all I said was:

"How did you know?" I choked out, barely whispering.

He laughed.

"Im not stupid 'lena. You think I didnt notice how you never take that thing off?"

He was reffering to my chockerwith the lapis lazuli to protect me from sunlight. Instictively I reached up and touched it, my face showing nothing but shock.

"You think I didnt notice how you always slip out of the house at night? Then an animal corpse turns up somewhere. Selena, you killed them. You ended their lives, and you didnt even think that this was important enough to tell me."

His observations started to turn into accusations and I couldnt take it anymore.

"STOP IT! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed

I burst into sobs, tears obscuring my vision and I covered my ears with my hands.

John was standing there surprised by my outburst. I rarely- if ever- raised my voice or yelled. It was just out of my nature. I didnt give up though.

"Why does this change anything?" I asked

"You said you loved me before you knew, so now you know. Big deal. How does this change the way you feel about me?" I continued

"That was before I knew what you were. I did love you and still do, but how can I get married to someone who's dead? A demon, a monster!" He spat out the words as if they were venom.

I couldnt have suffered more. I suddenly lost all reason for living. I almost wanted him to drive the stake through my heart- or what was left of it now. I honestly thought he was the one! I thought he wouldnt be like all the other people. I thought he would understand. I was planning on telling him when the time was right. When I thought he was ready and could handle the information...but I was wrong! Completely and utterly wrong!

"The other townies have figured it out, and there's an angry mob outside. They're waiting for you to come out the front door. That's what im supposed to be doing not sitting here and chatting. Anyway, i'll try to hold them back for as long as I can for you to escape but that probably wont be long. You can go out the back. Here."

He threw the keys of his car and left. I got up and took 2 minutes to freshen up and make myself look partially sane,grabbed the keys and ran out the back door. I ran from the back of the house to the garage.

I rested the keys on the roof of the car. I may be a vampire but I am not a thief.

I slipped in between the 2 cars parked side-by-side and peeked from behind a wall. I saw the angry mob in front of the house. They had torches, stakes, garlic, crosses...Anything associated with vampires myth or legend.

I smiled in spite of the situation.

'Garlic. So those myths still live, huh?' I thought

I snuck out of the garage, around the house so I was facing the forest area. I jumped on a tree branch and looked back at the place I had once called home. Then I turned my back on the only place I felt really happy and jumped from branch-to-branch into the night.

********* Flashback Over *********

After that things were a little blurry. The only things I really remember after that was that when I was far enough from the town I sat down on the sidewalk and vented. I let it all pour out.

I wiped the tears from my face and got up. I walked along the straight path until I felt an immense amount of Power, so strong my head snapped up to look at the direction from which it was coming from. Within that surge of Power, which I soon figured out was coming from ley lines...which meant it's coming a place not a person, there was another source of Power. From the way I percieved it, it looked like it was coming from a person. I liked Power.

I followed the direction the surges of Power were coming from and soon arrived at a sign that said:

Fell's Church

Founded by Honoria Fell

and...

Aparently the place screaming: IM OVER HERE was called Fell's Church...I feel a familiar presence here...someone I havent seen for awhile...Well even more reason I should stay here and find out who this mysterious person of the past is. Friend or Foe? I wonder.

Well...lets see.
