It had been a Friday night when all hell broke loose, at least for me anyway. I look back now and wonder how i could have been so blind, how I never noticed the monsters that hid in the shadows.
I guess it doesn't matter now, I know more than I ever thought I would. I'm happy that I found out, I'm happy I was turned. Now I can protect myself more than I ever could before. The only bad thing is that I can't tell any human because if the wrong ones found out it would be the end of me.
That night I had been at a party until midnight, but you eventually get to a point where you just want to go home and sleep... That was my first mistake. I was really tired and, therefore, lazy. I just wanted to get home as fast as possible, so I was taking any shortcut there was. You see, my mom had always told me to never go through an ally at night. Being the stupid teenager I was I didn't listen. That was my second mistake, and the one that got me turned.
I knew that if I went through the ally I could get to my house faster. I never saw the two men until one of them grabbed me. He had one hand over my mouth and the other around my waist. He held me against him and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get away.
"Jack, let her go she doesn't need to get in the middle of this."
The second I heard his voice I froze. I knew that voice, that was the voice I had fallen in love with over and over again for the past year. It was my boyfriend. I couldn't speak; I was too shocked, too afraid for my life. I guess my captor sensed that because his hand fell away from my mouth.
I slowly looked up at the man standing in front of me and my captor. By the time I was staring into his steel gray eyes I had a smile of pure joy on my face. He looked down at me and grinned.
"Well, Kory, I just figured out why you gave a shit about what I do to this human. She's your girlfriend isn't she, what's her name Miranda?
His voice was like ice and it brought me back to the problem I was in.
"Yeah, she is and if you don't let go of her right now I will kill you." He took a step forward as if to put finality to his threat.
"Okay but not without a parting gift." He yanked my head to the side and I grimaced in pain. That's when I saw them, his fangs, he leaned down and bit into my neck. The pain was instantaneous and I screamed in agony. Before I knew it he was thrown off of me and into the ally wall. I collapsed on the ground as Kory took a long gold dagger and shoved it into his heart. Jack was engulfed in blue fire that ate at his skin and bones until all that was left was a pile of ash. Kory slipped the dager into the waistband of his pants and ran over to me. He picked me up bridal style and started to run.
And that's all I can remember.
