In Your Heart
Prologue
Summer, 2013
A cry pierced the night as a girl with eyes as gray as the sea after a storm felt something, someone with hands and a mouth to whisper words, attack her.
She could do nothing as it pushed her back against her car door, leaving her winded. She could do nothing as it bit into her neck, and sucked the blood running through her veins, and the life inside of her, out. She curled her fingers around the wrists of her attacker, trying to push it back.
It was to no avail.
It seemed to only make it try to kill her faster.
She slide down the side of her car, to the ground. She gasped for breath as blood poured out of the wound on her neck, turning her dark hair to black, staining her shirt, and forming a puddle of red beside her.
It took her a minute to even realize she was alone once more, that her attacker had disappeared into the night as fast as it had appeared.
"Maybe... I shouldn't have walked back alone..." The girl said to herself, her voice no louder than a whisper.
The girl slumped further down the side of the car as the last word died on her lips, until her head rested against the tire and the tips of her fingers dipped into the puddle of her own blood. Her strength had left her, her will to live overcome by the need to make the pain go away.
Then... that was it.
It took three minutes for the whole thing to happen. One for the attack, another for the girl to die, and one more for her to breathe her last breath. And all the while, no cars passed the scene on the side of the dark street. No one had heard the attack, no one had seen it...
No one would even know about the "college girl who went missing" until two days later, on a Monday morning when a trucker drove past and saw the body of the girl with the eyes the color of the sea after a storm.
And even then, they didn't notice that same girl, the dead girl, screaming at them, trying to get their attention.
Because she didn't realize she was dead, that they really couldn't hear, see, touch her anymore. Because she didn't know she had been killed by a vampire, because she didn't know she was now a ghost on the Other Side, forced to wander alone, for the rest of time...
At least, that was supposed to be what happened.
