Chapter 0 Prologue

Beneath the waves the creature stirred. Its grey and white body rose up from the depths turning the black water blue. Meandering back and forth the creature searched for prey. Normally it would wait for a few more weeks to fed, however the sudden urgency to sink into something drove it forward. Suddenly the creature turned, a new and tantalizing smell broke into its sense, one it knew well; Blood! Swimming faster the creature soon spotted its potential prey, circling slowly it tried to determine the source of the smell. Swimming down it soon smelt where the source was strongest, excited now and ready to feed the creature thrust forward and snatched hold of its victim. Sinking lower into the water it shook its head back and forth as its victim thrashed vainly about. Letting go, the creature backed off to wait, black eyes staring as its prey surfaced and screamed.

Sighing with relief Teya dove into the cool waters of the sea. Feeling the water break away with each stroke she worked her way out farther trying to forget the awful school term and the pressures of choosing colleges. She was so sick of everyone telling her what to do and how to do things. As an end result of an argument between her and her father she had snuck out. Bumping into something broke her train of thought, turning Teya realized that she had bumped into the buoy. Reaching out and grabbing the side of the buoy Teya wondered how she had swum out so far without realizing it. Looking up at the sky Teya decided that it was time to at least head back into shallower water; grudgingly pushing off the buoy she started making her way back to shore. A few strokes later and Teya began to feel fatigued, stopping she floated a few minutes and with alarm realized she could feel the small tense muscles in her abdomen that signaled her blood cycle had started. "Damn, of all the ways to start off a summer vacation." Seconds later Teya found herself underwater and thrown about like a rag; stopping as soon as it started Teya made her way to the surface and screamed. "oh no, get to shore, get there now! You can make it. Just swim".

A few thrusts and the creature was back on its now fleeing prey, a snap and the crunch of bone was heard as another scream ripped through the air. Jerking, the creature tore into the warm flesh and swallowed the generous amount as it moved away. Blood seeped out of the victims mouth and her gurgling cry was cut short as the creature dragged her underwater. Snapping at any remains of its meal the creature turned and headed back out to sea its hunger now satisfied.
