Bite

Me

1. THE BEGINNING

I woke up early Saturday morning and I looked out my window in to the beautiful dark sky. I love dark places. My name is Twilight Colten. I know I have a strange name, my mother named me Twilight because I was born at twilight. I have blonde hair (despite my name) and hazel eyes. I'm 17 years old.

I got up and went to the kitchen to get my breakfast. On the table was a note from my parents.

Twilight,

We are going away for the weekend (we did tell you that, right), we're going to Arizona and we'll be back Sunday night.

Love you,

Mom & Dad

Once more my parents left me alone, they knew I liked dark, rainy places, and not hot, sunny places. I don't care I just go explore the woods while they're gone. My dad, Matthew, is chief of police, who has ash blonde hair and bright blue eyes. My mom, Katelynn, owns her own little bakery, Bite Me Bakery, in town. She has golden brown hair and hazel eyes.

I finished my breakfast of cereal and got cleaned up. I pulled on my hiking boats, put on my backpack that has all of my things (like my sleeping bag, tent, clothes, food, water, etc.), and pulled on my raincoat. I walked out the door.

It was the end of summer, it was pouring rain but I loved it. I started for my favorite trail, the one I had found last summer, it was hidden behind bushes and trees but it is a trail. I never reached the end because it was so long. Maybe I'd make it to the end today, so far I had got about three miles. My parents never care if I'm gone for a few days; they know I can survive in the woods.

I got to my trail and headed off in to the dark woods.

I had gone a few miles when I heard voices up ahead. That's strange; I thought I was the only one who knew about this trail. I saw the people further up. I suddenly got a bad feeling about the strangers and I hid behind a bush.

From my hiding place, I saw two men and they were the most beautiful people I ever seen. They both had snow white skin, midnight black hair, and shockingly black irises with ruby around the edges.

They were whispering too quietly for me to understand. Then they both turned right and walked away. I sat there for a second then…

"Hello, there." said a voice behind me.

I spun around and saw the two beautiful men.

"H-hello." I said nervously.

"Don't you smell tasty, human?" said the taller one. What does he mean by "smell tasty, human"?

"Yes, very and we are very thirsty." said the shorter man.

"I h-have water in my backpack." I replied as I stood up.

The men looked at each other and started laughing.

"My dear human girl, we don't want your water." said the short man.

"No, no, no, we want your blood." said the tall man.

My legs started to shake and I ran away from the men. Rapidly, the men were in front of me. I let out a loud scream, but I was sure no one heard it. Then I heard a feral snarl that sent chills from the crown of my head to the back of heels. It wasn't from the men, but on the trail ahead.

Then the men bolted in the opposite direction, I would have run too, but I was frozen in place. Out of the woods, came two boys, they looked like they were in high school. The first had hard-muscles and black hair. The second was a little shorter, less muscles, and median golden blonde hair. Both had snow white skin. The blonde one was the most beautiful with an angel face.

I stared at the blonde boy as they walked toward me.

"Are you alright?" asked the blonde.

I tried to talk but I was still frozen. I looked at the blonde; his eyes were a liquid gold. Suddenly, I fainted.

I woke up in my sleeping bag and saw the blonde boy next to me; the brown haired boy was gone. The boy smiled at me and said…

"Hello. How do you feel?"

"Good. Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm James Callen. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Twilight Colten.

"Mr. Callen…"

"Please, call me James."

"Okay, James, were you on that little trail?"

"Yes, I followed from my house."

"Strange, the other end is at my house. Have you always lived here?"

"No, my family moved in a few weeks ago."

"Was that your brother you were with before I fainted?"

"Yes, that was my brother, Luke, he had to go home."

Suddenly, James's cell phone started to ring. In a flash, the phone was at James's ear. He was talking so fast I couldn't understand. A minute later, he hung up and said…

"That was my father, Cornelius, he's a doctor; he says I need to go home. Do you need help to getting to your house?"

"No. I'll be fine. Will I see you tomorrow?" I hope that I do I'm really starting to like him.

"Maybe." James replied as he stood up. I pushed out of the sleeping bag and stood up, too.

"It was nice meeting you. I hope I'll see you soon." said James.

"Same here." I responded.

"Good bye." he said as he walked away.

"Bye." I said as I watch he disappear in to the forest.

I quickly pack up my sleeping bag and headed by to my house, hoping I would not find those men again.

I got home at 7:00pm and I started to make my dinner. I thought about the men in the woods, James and his brother, Luke. After I ate, I went to bed early.
