Chapter one
There is a time and a place for everything,
There is a reason why certain people meet
There is a destination for everyone
What is the explanation when you are done?
"Class i hope that you have written your poems?" the teacher asked
"Yes miss!" Everyone in the entire class beamed. Except me.
"Sahara why don't you read us yours?" She asked
I removed my self from the back of the class and headed to the front. I faced my classmates, every single one of them where sat in their little groups. I caught out of the corner of my eye the teachers nod. As a single that i should begin.
"The moon.... The moon is mocking me,
Why won't it let me be?
Following me here,
There and everywhere.
It will not let me sleep,
Like an alarm clock's beep,
Even as night turns into day.
It just will not go away.
Oh! Please leave me to do as i may." I read
"Well done. It was quite dark and mysterious just what i expected from you." the teacher beamed
Ok. I knew that the teacher was strange but this seems stranger than usual. I then returned to my haven the back of the class on my own. On the way, i heard the many taunts. This was nothing unusual for me, so i did the usual and ignored them. It was for the best. In addition, i prefer there just being me my self and my books. Well through the day, by night my other side takes over. If only they knew, they would not bully or taunt me if they knew the truth. "Class put the chairs onto of the desk. When the bell rings you may leave." The teacher ordered. Everybody did as she said in the usual robotic fashion. Including me the outcast. BRING!!! The end of day bell rang. I winced the bell always seems to hurt my ears. I followed every one out of the classroom, with my ears still ringing. I followed many of the students out of the school and only then did i separate from their path. I went straight down the pathway next to the school. This was the town's country park. To meet up with my family.
"There she is!" I heard a male called. I followed the direction that the voice was coming from to find my family standing around. Waiting for me. I saw both of my brothers standing impatiently with a bored look plastered on their faces. My eldest brothers' blonde emo fringe dancing amongst the breeze, while the rest of his short hair just rustled about in the breeze. His piercing blue eyes where focused on the stream that ran under the bridge which he was stood on. His long muscular figure was leaning against the bridge wall. I shuddered as i noticed his teeth. They where pure pearly white with his fangs going down into a sharp point.
"Hey." I smiled weakly
"You're late." Another male spoke.
My head shot to my right to see my other brother getting up from his leaning position. He is tall and very lanky. His chocolate brown hair was longer and spikier that my other brother. His warm hazel eyes where always betrayed him as a warm person when he is completely the opposite.
"Well Adam only now i got let out of school." I smiled weakly
"Children don't start." My mum's sweet and innocent voice filled our ears.
She is slightly taller than my self. With long flowing blonde hair. She also had the piercing blue eyes, but they did not seem as lethal compared to my brother Shaun. That was when my dad made his appearance waltzing from behind a tree. His dark brown hair caught the breeze as he entered its path. His sinister grey eyes landed on me. This sent shivers across my skin. That was without seeing his very sinister, white, pointed and sharp teeth.
"Let's go, already." Shaun purred sinisterly.
"Shaun be patient...Sahara has to change yet again." My dad spoke. His voice was full of authority.
"BY HERE!" my mouth dropped open they have to be kidding me. I caught the bag full of clothes. My fathers warning grow filled everyone's ears. We stopped what ever we where doing and backed down. In fear. "There is a public toilet around the corner go there." he replied. I nodded in reply. I dropped my school bag to the floor and dragged my self along with the change of clothes to the toilets. On my guard as usual. I locked the toilet door just in case any body decided to enter. I slipped out of my grey school skirt and then gracefully put my hardwearing jeans. Then replaced my school shoes for trainers, i also changed my school jumper for my hard wearing body hugging jacket which hugged close to me in all the right places. I went to open the cubical door when i caught my finger on the splintered wooden door. Jeez not now. I saw the crimson gem appear on my fingertip. I rushed to the toilet paper and quickly wrapped around my finger to try to stop the bleeding before any damage could be done. TAP...TAP... i heard footsteps hit the tiles in the entrance of the toilets. Why does my blood have to be so tempting? I refused to breath in fear that i would be caught. Although I knew, it was too late especially now that they had caught the scent of my blood. TAP...TAP...the footsteps of this curious being had stopped out side my cubical. I stood there on top of the toilet, as still as a corpse and as quite as death. I became more and more tempted to hit the SOS button on my watch so that my family could come and help me. Nevertheless, i froze as i saw fingers starting to pull the door off the hinges. Just my luck. When the door finally was removed, so slowly witch only made me more anxious. Finally I found that i was now looking into the eyes of a killer. "So what do we have here?" he purred. I did not look away from his eyes. They where the eyes of a killer. Crimson red pools of death. This only meant one thing i was dinner. He walked into the cubical trapping me in there. His hand traced my cheekbone down my neck. He tucked my hair behind my ear.
"What a shame..."he purred darkly
"What's a shame?" i asked
"That your number is up." he smirked
His firm grip was placed onto my hips holding me in place as he moved in his mouth just seconds away from contacting my neck. "Not to day." I smiled. As my knee caught contact with his chest. Knocking the wind out of him also freeing myself from him. I quickly jumped over him, then grabbed his arm and placed him into an arm lock from behind. While pressing him against the wall. He then laughed.
"You honestly think that your pathetic human strength will protect you?" he purred
"What makes you think I'm human?" i asked
"Your smell." he chuckled "It is very appealing."
"Is this how you treat all of your prey telling them how good they smell?" i then asked sub consciously.
"Well only the ones that smells as appealing as you."
I pressed him harder against the stonewall. Knowing that before long that the stonewall would give in due to the force. I heard the light contact footsteps approaching us. Which unfortunately distract me only slightly but was enough for him to change the positions. I now had my back pressed up against the wall with his hand placed firmly at the bottom of my neck. With the full weight of his body pressing against me. With one hand, he raised my cut hand up to his face. "Mmm it smells better up close." he hummed. Then placed my cut finger into his mouth. I felt him suck the blood out of my finger. I studied his face. His almost black hair was longer than my brothers. It just passed his chin line. He removed my finger from his mouth. "Yes it would be a shame not to keep you alive longer." he said. He seemed quite sadden by this. He flashed a quick smile. Showing me his long sharp fangs. They were not as long as my father. By the length of them, i would say that he was in his early twenties. I also noticed the tips of them stained slightly scarlet.
"Step away from her or else!" My father's protective voice filled our ears. He cocked his head to glance at my father.
"Caleb?" I heard my mother asked. His gaze hit mine.
"Is she with you?" he then asked coldly
"Yes. She is our daughter." My father this time replied.
Caleb removed his grasp from my neck. I took in a gulp of air.
"Your lucky. You should be more careful the next one might not be as so soft on you." he then spoke surprisingly angelic but very husky at the same time.
"You'd never been able to bite me." i smiled
"How come i had you against the wall like a rag doll?" Jeez he is so serious
"That was a one off." i mumbled to my self.
"Sahara behave!" My mum demanded
That was then for the first time that i saw alarm within his eyes. Also to my surprise i found that i couldn't move from the spot that i was standing at. It was like as i was glued there by his beauty. Stupid vampires, always attracting their prey towards them.
"Does your father know that your here? and hunting?" My father then demanded
"No. I decided to have a quick hunt before meeting up with him." Caleb replied
"You know that your not allowed to hunt humans around here."
"I'm sorry sir."
"Sahara this is also your fault. For refusing those tablets."
"But father..."
"No buts."
I then felt Caleb's gaze on me. When i looked up into his face if found that his bloodlust, hungry red eyes had disappeared and in its place was warm lime green eyes. Vampires never stop amazing me.
"Come on Sahara lets go." My father demanded
"I'm coming." i just managed to get out of my mouth.
"Come on Sahara we have a life to get on with." Shaun complained
I freed my self from Caleb and started to follow my family. Trailing behind them as usual. I could hear Caleb follow behind me.
"Caleb you are to come home with us until your father and I sort out your punishment." My father announced
"Alright Mr Seeames." I heard Caleb reply.
I couldn't help but smirk. My father's punishments where never nice ones. "Sahara wipe that smirk off of your face!" My father snarled
