Chapter 1: The Beginning

There were many flashing lights, sirens whaling, people are standing around, and me. What am I doing just standing here? Is that my brother?!

"Asryin!" I yelled as I run over to him. Or try to.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. I can't allow you to go over there."

"That's my little brother! I'm the one responsible for him!"

"Ma'am, can i have you answer a few questions?"

"Why? What happened? Why can't I go to my brother? What's wrong with him?"

"We were called to this address for a possible OD."

"OD? Like an over dose? No, he would never do that. He's not that type of a person."

"I'm sorry, Ma'am, but-"

"He's flat lining!" One of the EMT's yelled to the one by the ambulance.

"Asryin!" I pushed past the one police officer and ran straight into another.

I fall back on to the ground when the other officer turned around.

"Kylisa? What are you...that guy...he's your brother...isn't he?"

I didn't speak as tears started to fall down my face.

"Kylisa, I'm so sorry. Come on over to my car."

He helps me up and leads me over to his black charger. He opens the driver side of it and helps me sit down as he crotches down so he's my level.

"He's my little brother, Chris. We lost our dad nine years ago. Our mom two years ago. I can't lo-"

"Call it."

"No! No! No! This can't be happening!" She yelled as she threw her hands to the side causing time to freeze. She looked around a little confused but took this time to run to her brother. She fell to her knees right in front of his lifeless body.

"Asryin...I refuse to lose you." I leaned down and uncovered his shoulder as I bare my fangs and bite down changing him into the same creature as me.

After a few minutes I pulled away before wiping the blood from my mouth and quickly ran away. After a few minutes time unfroze leaving Chris looking around confused when Asryin jerked awake.

I ran as fast as I could to Otis's.

'He would know what to do. Right?'

But when I got to my mentor's house, he wasn't home.

"Shit! I hope Vlad's home."

I sighed and took off towards Vlad's.

At The Hospital:

Asryin was awake and had an IV in his arm as he was talking to the doctor.

"I'm telling you, Doc, I feel fine."

"I'm still keeping you for observation so I can make sure. It's not normal for someone to be dead and then be perfectly fine and dandy." He said looking as he looked over his charts.

"I wish Kylisa was here. She would straighten things up." He said sitting there bored wishing he could just go.
