I moved to Dallas Texas when I was 17 and was very happy it wasn't till all the murdering were happening that I was worried, I had my own bar, I know what you are thinking how can a 17 year old own a bar, well I graduated early at the age of 16 and even earlier in college, since I had a bright mind I guess you can say I was well known in the school, but the very thing that got everyone that helped me knew that I couldn't speak, I could never talk actually when I came out of my mama I didn't even make a sound.

So long story short got a business degree learned many alcohol drinks and borrowed a loan, of course it helped that when I moved here that my first friend was a business man a banker, he hooked me up and there it was I have my bar. Okay it wasn't that easy I did have a job before that I needed money for living of course. Let me take you back.

You see when I was 16 the vampires came out and boy did they ever, at first a little of them came out, but then all over the world. It started in Texas it started in little areas Belton, and Temple, Killeen and Waco, and then it went to Louisiana, Spain, and others.

I was walking to work when I was 16 and I wasn't aware of vampires at the time you see I didn't have a T.V. and I didn't pay attention to rumors, I didn't like them. Anyways, I was walking home and I was about to take a short cut I didn't think that, well I guess I should have thought.

I was grabbed around the waist and dragged into the alley I was using, a hand on my forehead and another on my waist.

"You smell good, almost like a virgin, you have a very nice body you may be a good fuck." I gasped and stomped on his foot, he let go and decked him in the face. I ran and started to bang on every metallic thing that was near me, I knew that if I could get some attention someone could help. I was almost towards the street the entrance to the alley hope was filling and it was consuming me, hope and the will to live was filling me, and soon it was taken away.

"Where do you think you're going?" When I heard his voice that sick sleazy voice, my heart stopped and I was soon thrown into the fire escape stairs. I could feel warm liquid running down my forehead and my body was sore, I wanted to scream anything that would get me help but nothing came out. "Oh I am going to enjoy hurting you; I want to hear a scream coming from that beautiful mouth of yours." I flinched and moved so that I could cling to the fire escape.

"I think that will be put on hold." I look up to see a boy on a roof being flanked by two others, he signals for them and soon I am being held in a gentle embrace, eyes covered and soon I hear screams coming from the man. It wasn't till we started to move the gentle embrace remove itself from me and we were in a crowded restaurant that I got a good look at my savior. He wasn't tall but he wasn't short either, he had a lot of muscles and some tattoos that looked tribal.

"I don't get why we saved this girl she looks like one of those you know stupid bitches." I glared at the man in the cowboy hat and started to sign to him that he could go fuck himself. Of course this confused them immensely. The woman looked of Spanish decent so I figured I would be nice to her. I sighed and just sat there arms crossed and irritated.

"Hi welcome to I-hop what can I get you?" It was then that I realized I could write I face palmed myself and asked the waitress for her pen and took a napkin from the dispenser.

As I was writing the woman peered over my shoulder and smiled writing down what I wanted.

"And for you three, we have a special and if that doesn't appeal to you we have true blood waiting to be drunk I'm sorry I say the worst things when I get nervous and-." She stopped talking after what looked like a leader put his hand up and forgave her.

I sighed and looked out the window and over to the three clear as day vampires. I took another napkin opening it and started writing.

Which one is the leader? The cowboy looked at the woman and then at the man whom started to read the note.

"Can you not talk little one?" I puffed out my cheeks and took the napkin away from him and started to write furiously.

Who are you calling little I am not small either I'm fun sized I have a name you know its Nello and I guess thanks for saving me and you know taking me out to eat I think. I slammed the pin down and handed them the note crossing my arms over my chest. I looked out the window and waited for a response, but one never came, I sighed and looked over to see that the smallest one was a little sad maybe even loneliness was showing in his eyes. I took the pen and napkin back from the woman and wrote as fast as I could.

Sorry I should be more grateful and stuff, anyways is there a reason you took me to I-Hop? The woman decided that she would take the lead and introduced them.

"My name is Isabelle this is Godric and Stan, we were actually tracking that vampire that attacked you, and he was recently made and needed to be destroyed. I sighed and shook my head and leaned back in my chair, why did everyone go along with these people claiming they were vampires is beyond me. I took the napkin and wrote my opinion down.

I was wondering is the vampire thing real because I don't have a T.V. ad I don't listen to rumors they're lame as hell. This time Stan took the note and scoffed, he then gave it to Godric who gave a little smile.

"How the hell you gunna ask that when we are sitting right in front of you?" I flinched at the roughness in his voice and nodded my head. Godric then sighed and soon was getting up to leave, I waited till he was gone and, which I don't know where.

Is he always like that? Isabelle took the note and soon smiled sadly, she then sat there thinking of how to explain it.

"No when he started he was more energetic, now since he got older he is calmer."

"You mean less aggressive."

"Stan he is our sheriff, he is kind to us show respect."

"I don't get why we had to make the big revelation, we should have waited till next year when everything was prepared at hand." I glanced between the two and soon I was standing up and writing down bathroom.

I was in the stall when two women came in at first I didn't care, it wasn't until they started to talk did I get worried.

"Okay so the three vamps that came in with that human girl, we need to snag one of them, which one do you think will go with us easy?"

"I don't know maybe the small one he's kind of cute and he seems like he's ready to die, I mean Steve Newland would be very, very impressed with us, and we would be going up the ranks in the fellowship of the sun, okay and the other members that helped will get some credit too." With that the girls were about to leave when they heard a splash in one of the toilets, Nello flinched and quickly switched to the next stall leaving the girls confused when the stall was empty.

I waited till I knew they were out of the bathroom and away from the door till I left, of course as luck would have it, one of the girls stayed by the door with another person this one a old man that looked to be close in his 50's maybe 40's. The man lifted me up without hesitation, and soon was going out the back; I was in shock, which who would kidnap a mute kid I mean seriously.
