Sara's POV

It was late when I finally decided to go home. I grabbed my stuff and haded to the parking lot. I walked to my car, and searched my bag for the keys. Suddenly, I heard someone coming. I didn't bother turning around, it was probably someone from the swing shift. But then I felt something cold pressed to my neck. I froze.

- Give me your bag! - he ordered, and I did. I always thought, I wouldn't do it if someone asked me to, but this man just frightened me. He opened my bag with one hand, the other still pressed to my throat.

- Damn it! - I knew he wasn't pleased with what he found. I never really put anything in it. I little cash for coffee, and some food, and papers to work on at home. That was all. And he was shaking with anger.

- Let her go! - a firm voice stated behind us. For some strange reason I relaxed. He's voice made me relax. Then I felt sharp pain - I think where the knife slid my neck. But I couldn't be sure. And then I felt nothing. Nothing at all.

I always thought I would die somewhere alone, when I'm really old and sick. In my sleep or something like that. Or maybe at work. Some stupid suspect would kill me. Instead, I was dying in the parking lot. That's pathetic...

But I didn't die. Instead, I felt pain, and wished for death. Fire was burning through my whole body. Starting from my neck, spreading everywhere through my veins. I gasped, and tried to move, so it wouldn't hurt that much. It didn't work. I wasn't sure if I moved, or I didn't, but the pain only got worse. And it continued to burn through my veins.

After what felt like forever, the pain stopped. It was completely gone, replaced by something scratching my throat. I opened my eyes slowly, adjusting to the light. I sat up, and looked around. I was sitting on a bed. Everything was sharp, and bright. I heard someone... Wait... Breathing? How was that possible? It's just impossible for human beings to hear someone else breathing.

- Yes it is. - It was the same voice I heard in the parking lot before. The one that made me relax. But it had the opposite effect on me right now.

- Who are you? Where am I? What happened? - I blurted out the first few questions that came to my mind. He stared at me with red eyes. And those eyes scared me even more.

- I'd explain everything if you would pay attention for a second. - I looked at him.

- Thank you! My name is Edward, and I'm a vampire. So are you.

- Vampire? Are you nuts? That stuff doesn't exist!

- Sure it does. Just think about it! You were dying, then you felt fire, and now your throat is scratching.

- How...?

- How do I know? I told you. I'm a vampire. And some of us have special gifts like I do. I can read minds.

- You mean...?

- I know every single thing you think about, yes.

- Get out of my head! - I practically screamed. I was pissed. But I was more curious then pissed. So I decided to test him.

If you really can read my thoughts, then say something... Now!

- You're done with this stupid game? - I stared at him wide eyed. That isn't possible! It's just... He grabbed my shoulders, and placed me in front of a mirror. I gasped. That wasn't me! That was some pale, red eyed perfect woman in the mirror. I touched my face. The creature in the mirror did too.

- You believe me now? - Edward's voice bought me back to reality.

- How is that possible?

- I bit you.

- You bit me?!

- I didn't want you to die. He slid your throat.

- Ok, I really have a lot of questions, but first can you please give something for my throat? I don't think I can concentrate on anything right now...

- You need to drink blood for that. You know you have to kill someone though, right? - I swallowed hard. I haven't even thought about that before. Oh my god! There was no way I'm killing anyone! I'm a CSI. I'm against crime! How could I.... There had to be an other option! I could sneak in to a hospital maybe... Or...

- Hey! If you really don't want to kill anyone. If you're sure... It's possible to live on animal blood. It's not as good as the human blood is, but you can survive on it. - I sighed in relive, and nodded.

- Animals are ok with me... - he nodded.

- In that case, let me help you on your first hunt!

Should I continue? I will, if I get at least one review. :)
