its kind of a short chapter but the future ones will be longer, i just wanted to get this first chapter out there ;) LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKE THIS AND I'LL CONTINUE WRITING IT!
Chapter 1:
It was dusk, and the cool autumn breeze blew my long brown hair in front of my face. I pushed the annoying strands of hair behind my ear and zipped up my leather jacket a little more. The leaves beneath my feet crunched quietly as I walked through the forest. I hated that we had to move here because I hate stalking those monsters in unfamiliar territory. I knew my parents were close by but I still felt alone.
We had to move to this small town in Michigan because of the recent outbreak of "animal attacks". Any human would be fooled by the illusion they create, but not me, I know what they are, and I know what they can do.
I felt my leg to check if my stake was still strapped to my leg. It was a nervous habit but it wasn't a bad thing to check.
My family and I hunt vampires for a living. My father is a "cop" that is moving here to "asses the situation", while my mother is a "vet" that is helping my father figure out what "animal" would attack humans. As for me, I'm just an innocent teenage girl that likes to stake monsters through the heart in her free time.
And there they were all grouped together, feeding on three or four female bodies. One was just standing above them all, watching. The vampire had black hair and his eyes were blazing red. His face was bloody like he had already fed. He was smaller than the rest of them; he was looked like we were about eighteen. He looked at me, and smiled, revealing his fangs. I took a deep breath and fiddled with my silver locket.
Another one, much bigger than the other one, looked at me with hungry-red eyes.
"You lost sweetheart?" he said. Typical. They always assumed I couldn't take them on. They didn't realize that I was a hunter. Of course they didn't know I have been training to fight vampires since I was six.
Just then my parents came from each side and started attacking. We always used me as a distraction, so the vamps didn't hear my parents coming, and then I would kill any stranglers.
The small one looked surprised and ran. I know I couldn't catch up with him but I chased him anyway. I ran all the way to an open field.
He could have taken any path… I lost his trail.
I was breathing heavily as I looked around for any indication of where he went. I turned around, and there he was, standing behind me.
"You caught me." he said playfully putting his hands up. Slowly I moved my hand down to where my stake was being held. His eyes followed my hand. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." He said.
Before he could run I threw the stake at him and it plunged directly through his heart. He dropped down to the ground and started gasping for air. I walked toward him so that I was standing directly over him.
His eyes returned back to his normal brown color and his fangs retracted. He looked human, except for the blood on his face. He knew he was dying, a stake didn't kill a vampire immediately. At first he wouldn't be able the move, then he would slowly starve to death or, if I felt nice, I could end it quickly and set him on fire.
Then unexpectedly he got up, with an immense amount of speed, pulled out the stake and pinned me to the ground. He held my wrists above my head with one hand. I struggled. It was no use; vampires are stronger. He now pointed the stake at my chest.
"You're not in Kansas anymore. You're tricks don't work here." His fangs popped out and he leaned in and they grazed my neck. He is going to kill me. I thought. Then he moved again and whispered. "Leave and never come back." Then with the same amount of speed as before, he ran away.
He left the stake lying on my chest. I took it and looked around cautiously, he was gone. And I was alone.
"The stake should have affected him…" I said quietly to myself. I held the bloody stake in my hand. Bewildered I ran back to where I last saw my parents.
All of the vampires were gone, and there was no sign of any victory on our side.
"Natalie, thank God, don't ever run away like that. You know better! You could have been killed." My mother lectured.
"I know, I'm sorry. But im fine… did you get any?"
"no, they were too fast," my dad said.
"and they took the girls with them." my mom said solemnly.
"it's ok. We'll get the next time." I told both of them. Then together we walked back to our hummer and drove to our new home.
Tomorrow we started our new lives, which meant I had to go to school. Great.
