Chapter 1 – The beginning of the end.

I sat there thinking back how could this all be possible? Was I really that stupid? Well the answer to my question was obvious as I sat there on the stony cliff looking out onto the murky waters below. I remembered it all as it was yesterday, I had always been one to feel compassion towards other people; I constantly tried to help anyone I could. I volunteered at a local youth center, being there for the kids fulfilled me in ways that no other job ever had. If it wasn't for paying the bills I would spend all my time volunteering.

I had just moved to Sudbury, and I was loving this mining town in northern Ontario. I was originally from Toronto which was an extremely large city which I enjoyed immensely but I couldn't live there anymore. My relationships with my family were killing me. Ever since I was a little girl I was extremely aware of people's emotions, I would absorb them like a sponge, so if someone was hurting I would be hurting ten times worse then they were. This was always a problem and a source of tension in my family, my parents sent me to a shrink to find out what was wrong with me. All he could tell my family is that I had problems processing emotions; it was like a learning disability he said. Still thinking about that day I became extremely angry punching the ground beside me sending shards of rocks plummeting down into the icy water below.

This 'disability' was the reason I left home, it was becoming extremely difficult to be around anyone I loved.

Though I couldn't complain I enjoyed living in Sudbury, my day job I was Phlebotomist we would call ourselves 'Professional Vampires' the term seems too ironic now and on the nights and weekends I would spend my time at the Youth Center. I was happy! I would never forget that life no matter how long I would live, especially that night.

I had just locked up the youth center and I was planning to walk home. My apartment wasn't far and it was such a nice night that I decided that I wasn't going to drive. I had walked this route so many times that I could have done it in my sleep but that night it was a scream that took me off my path.

I was only three streets away from my house when I heard it, I didn't even take a minute to think of the consequences I headed down the laneway towards that scream. Half way down the laneway broke off; I quickly looked left and then right scanning for where the scream could have come from when I saw her. She was draped over a lifeless body of young female, she was exquisite, pale with crimson eyes and pitch black hair. I froze immediately, she had noticed that I had appeared throwing the lifeless body aside she looked me in the eyes and crouched, I didn't even have time to blink she was on top of me, I felt the pain, the excruciating pain but my body didn't react. At that moment she dropped me, I couldn't understand what was going on, why had she let me go? I tried to pull myself to the side of the laneway, with great effort I had made it. I couldn't understand how I was still in so much pain I felt like I was on fire, the attacker wasn't anywhere near me. I tried to focus my eyes, my glasses where on the other side of the laneway and I was not moving.

Suddenly I was being picked up, everything was moving in a blur but I didn't feel like I was moving. The arms placed me down gently in the forest, the angelic voice told me not to move and that she would be back. I was so confused was this the same lady who attacked me? There were so many questions that I wanted answers to but I couldn't open my mouth, as much as I wanted to, I wanted to scream and ask to stop this burning but I couldn't.

Now here I was, sitting on the edgy of a stony cliff. That angelic voice never came back though I had waited and waited. Guessing that I had waited two years, counting the seasons.

I picked my self off the rock and began to walk towards the forest wondering why I allow my self to think of that memory. But it was that memory that only memory that gave me a clue to what I was. Since that day I was left with more questions than answers. Still being extremely frustrated I kicked a pine tree with a little too much force as the base cracked and the tree came falling down towards the forest floor.

I sighed; it was time for me to move on. I couldn't stay in the deep forest waiting for my savoir to come back to me, I had waited too long. It was at that moment that overwhelming sadness had flooded over me; I needed to escape this feeling but where was I to go. There were something's that I had noticed in the new me, I was super strong, extremely fast, I craved blood and that I sparkled like a freak in the sunlight! Even with all these new talents the sunlight thing really freaked me out!

So I needed to get out of here, away from this forest, away from Sudbury. I knew that I needed to stay north so that I could be out of the sun, so Florida and California would be out of the question. I giggled to my self and then regain focus. North West that was the direction that I was going to run, not stopping until I was far away from this place as possible.

I hunted on my travels, deer, elk, polar bears, mountain lions and grizzlies. I tried to hunt humans once when I found out that I craved blood, I remember my attacker and I had realized what she had been doing over that lifeless body. I had remembered and was planning on imitating but it wasn't until I got close to my prey ready to attack when I felt his fear. His fear was mirrored in me and I felt it ten times worse, I was so scared that I ran away. I had never tried to kill another human since then, animals didn't affect my emotions so hunting them became easy and it satisfied my thirst.
