Chapter One
The Beginning
Well, this really sucks. I stared at the kid, who looked like he was about twelve, with the knife. Coincidently the knife was pointing at my stomach.
"Look lady j-just give me some money before I put a hole in ya!" The kid stammered.
"You talk pretty tough for a kid like yourself. Just hand me the knife and this won't go any further."
The kid jabbed forward. I jumped back. Might as well give the kid a second chance. "I'm not a kid! I will not give you the knife! Now give me your money!"
"I don't think so." I whisper and jump forward and around him before he knows whats happening. I grab his elbows and bring them around his back and wrap my left leg around both of his.
"Hey get off!" He screams.
"Now give me the knife."
"No. Jamie!"
Huh? Then I felt another knife slide around my neck.
"Let the kid go lady." Said a deadly voice behind me.
"Ah, let me guess, the famous killer Jamie. So your teaching kids now, huh? Wow. Maybe you are worse than the profile."
"I'm not a killer! Now let the kid go before I slit your throat."
"I thought you said you weren't a killer. Oh, well-" Before I could finish my sentence I saw a figure coming toward us.
"Shit!" I knew exactly who it was. Arabella. The city's finest vampire hunter.
"Schuyler. I didn't know you preyed among children to. Oh, dude that knife won't work on her." Arabella said coming closer.
I slowly let go of the kid and shove him into Jamie.
"Run you idiots." I say and step toward Arabella. I drop down into my hunting crouch. I glance over my shoulder to see if the thugs were gone, but of course they were peeking around the corner. Fine I won't phase though it would be a lot faster. I will my eyes to go blood red and bright.
Arabella recoiled. "So its true then. Your curse is to shape shift. I should have guessed that the top vampire in Montana would have something extra special." She mumbled and took a stake out of a sheath that was on her back. "This was my brothers." She said cradling it like a mother and child. "Until your kind killed him! Now I'm going to take you out so that there may be justice for him!"
"Wow, justice is what you want after killing hundreds of my kind? I think you've gone crazy with hatred over the years." So what if the humans were watching, I'll just kill them later. I made myself into a thin mist and started circling Arabella's head.
"Form into your true form and fight like the warrior you supposedly are!"
I turn solid a few feet away from her. "Warrior? Thats new. I always thought of my self as a huntress."
"Arabella! What are you doing I thought you went to get a drink... what do you have in your hands?" The man who had just came in the ally looked at Arabella then at me. "Whats happening?"
Arabella whirled, although not fully taking her eyes of me, and shrieked. " What are you doing back here? Run! Get away."
"Who is this Arabella?" I ask in a silky voice. I change my eyes back into their original lavender. "A weakness?" I say stalking closer.
"You stay away from him! He knows nothing! Hes not part of this!" Arabella said and charged at me.
"Arabella!" The man yelled and ran after her.
I instantly changed to mist. Both of the humans past right through me.
"Damn it Schuyler! Why don't you fight fair for once!" Arabella yelled and turned.
I instantly grew solid and got in her face, grabbing the stake from her for safety. "You want to know why I don't play fair human? Its because parasites like you are weak and think that if you kill someone like me that your more powerful than the rest. But your not." I spat grabbing the front of her shirt.
"Why don't you just get it over with? Just kill me." Then I notice her signaling the man behind me to run with her eyes.
