As every girl was on the topic of what their dresses looked like and what kind of flowers their dates were buying them, Rain walked down the halls, worried. No one had asked her to t he halloween dance yet and there was a chance she wouldn't be able to go. Rain loved everything about the holiday. She loved the scary stories and haunted houses. She loved the dark colors and how people believe that the creatures of halloween were just myths.

Walking into her English class, Rain hurried past her crush's desk. Nick was the typical highschool guy. He was friends with everyone, had a great head of hair, and had the most kindest heart out of most jocks. As always, the 45 minutes drug on and on. Rain didn't pay attention to the lesson. All she could focus on was his honey golden hair.

The bell finally rang and Rain rushed past Nick, knocking his books to the floor. "Should I stop and apologize...screw that." She thought and ran out the door. The only thing Nick noticed was Rain's long midnight hair glading out the classroom door. Realizing that she almost had to talk to the love of her life, Rain threw her books in her locker.

Rain replayed the accident over and over in her head as she heard someone calling her name. As she shut her locker door, there stood that great head of hair. Rain couldn't move or speak but heard the word's that she had been longing to hear.

"Hey. I was wondering...you know if no one has asked you yet, if you would like to go to the halloween dance with me?" Nick nervously asked as he ran his hand through his hair and scuffed the hard tile with his shoe.

" Of course! I would love to go." Rain answered back as she felt the blood rushing to her cheeks. She kept her cool in front of Nick but inside she was screaming with excitement and happiness but in a way, worried. What if her family didn't approve of him. What if they gave her a hard time because he wasn't what they considered "normal" in their world.

The night of the dance finally arrived Rain had the perfect dress, the perfect shoes, and most importantly the perfect date. Rain's parents were overly excited because all they wanted was for their kids to have a normal human existence. The only person who knew the truth about their family was her best friend, Tracy. They have been best friends ever since they were 5 and Tracy also had a thing for Rain's brother, Edward. Edward wasn't too happy about Rain's decision to go to the dance with Nick. Edward thought Rain should just stick to her own kind, vampires. Rain disagreed because she wasn't like all the other vampires. She had a gift to make herself seem more human. She could make her cheeks blush, her skin warm, and her heart beat. Her parents didn't understand all of this but they just thought it was normal, well their kind of normal anyway.

Rain put the finishing touches on her make up as she heard the door bell ring. "He's here. This night is going to be great." She thought as she ran down the stairs. Getting to the bottom of the staircase, Nick walked inside just in time to see Rain tripping on the last stair. "There is no need to rush. This night will last forever." Nick whispered in Rain's ear as he put the flower on her wrist. Following Rain down the stairs, Edward shoved past Nick nearly knocking him to the ground as Tracy hurried along his side.

"The entrance to the gym was decorated in black and orange balloons as well as streamers. The DJ had everyone on the dance floor as the disco lights hit every part of the gym. Nick and Rain joined the dancing and continued on into the night that no one would ever forget. Edward didn't want anything to go with their "happiness" and what they thought was the ideal of "fun". He had his own plans of fun even if it was evil and decitful. Tracy finally lost interest in Edward and his moody ways. All he wanted to do was sit and stare at the perfect couple.

Rain was getting pretty tired with the nonstop dancing and excitment. She signaled to Nick that she was going to sit with Edward for a little bit As Rain walked away, Nick started dancing with Tracy. This made Edward a little furious because he was so use to Tracy always trying to get his attention and no one elses.

Trying to catch her breath, Rain looked at her brother and wondered what he was up too. She didn't think anything of it until she saw 3 of her brother's friends. Rain never gotten along with them because all they were worried about was how to make human lives difficult.

Rain held onto the table, trying not to break it as she clenched her teeth together. "What are they going here? Tonight was suppose to be my night! Why? How could you?" "I told you Nick would get what he deserves!" Edward yelled as he stood up to help his friends in the destruction.

Streamerrs, balloons, and chips went flying everywhere. All Edward's friends knew was to find Nick and make sure he didn't come out alive. Rain ran through the crowd of screaming highschool students, searching for Nick. She knew she had to find him before the other guys did. "Omg! They have Nick!" Tracy screeched as Edward pushed her out of the way. "Your precious love will be gone before you're able to save him!" Edward exclaimed to Rain as he gripped her arm. "Big brother, remember I've always been stronger than you!" Rain pushed Edward out of her way as hard as she could, sending him flying out the gym doors.

Rain saw that in the back of the gym that Jeff, Steve, and Jason had Nick cornered against the wall. Rain rushed over in front of Nick, trying to protect him. Steve couldn't believe that Rain was choosing to protect a human! That completely disgusted him. As far as they were concerned, Rain was choosing her love over her blood.
