Lily Evans narrowed her eyes 'til they were no more than tiny slits as she glared at the cowering boy. She swept her wand extravagantly and the boy too was swept up on his feet.

'Leave.' She said coldly. The pale boy stumbled away, coughing up blood and nearly crying.

Lily sighed, turned to the wall. It was night she hated the most. It was when her hunger struck.

Lily was a vampire, a piece of information not many knew. Well, perhaps not fully vampire for she could stand the light and her reflection was there in the mirror. She was a half-vampire. It showed if one looked closely enough. She had many advantages of being a half vampire but these certain abilities were nothing Lily was proud of, for it was because of them that she lived in fear, waiting for the day someone would find out her secret and she would be sent away from Hogwarts.

She often had cravings for blood at night. Not tasting blood or anything but seeing it calmed her nerves, much as she hated to admit it. She could peer through darkness and see things others could not as well as the fact she could fly. These may seem unbelievable and awesome but it wasn't. Lily could not use any of these abilities for fear of the possibility that someone might see her.

Lily had golden-red hair that seemed to resemble blood. It made sense, seeing as she was a half vampire. Her green eyes were huge and sparkled with malevolence most of the time when she glared at human beings. She was tall and thin with pale delicate skin that had a few scatters of freckles across her nose and cheeks.

Lily detested her body for she viewed it as 'weak' with 'nothing to support it'. It was true that her arms were a little thinner than most but there was little she could do about it.

The particular boy Lily had been torturing was Peter Pettigrew. In the eyes of everyone, Peter had been a nobody, was a nobody, and will always be a nobody.

He had been stumbling around in the dark when he had quite literally bumped into Lily. Lily had been craving blood and it was the time of the month when her vampire side was completely taking over. For that one night, she was a full-blooded pure vampire and she had mangled the boy until he was an inch from death. Afterwards, she healed him and made him swear not to tell anybody, not that he knew who she even was. All he knew was that the creature he had met was a vampire.

Lily, now back as a half vampire, shuddered and rocked herself back and forth, back and forth, sobbing quietly.

Imagine was would have happened if she had killed him? Then, for the rest of her life she would have the burden of one more life she had destroyed.

Lily shuddered again but knew that if anyone found her in this state, she would have some serious explaining to do for she was half-drenched in blood as well as a few slashes on her robes. Peter Pettigrew WAS a bit tougher than he looked.

A/N: Yes, I know it's short but this is more like an introduction. I'm not sure if I will be continuing this fic as I have about, hm.27 more stories to finish ^^. It depends on how many reviews I get. Probably none but can one not hope?
