Chapter 1: Dear God

A lonely road,
Crossed another cold state line,
Miles away from those I love,
Hope is hard to find.

The music was blaring, and everyone was dancing. All this was truly giving me a headache. Never in my life had I seen so many girls willing to flash people all for some colorful beads. It was disturbing and not my scene, but my best friend Audrey had begged me to come with her. And what were friends for? There technically not suppose to leave you stranded while people are drunk and showing there boobs like crazy. Yeah, that was my friend Audrey for you. Mardi Gras was suppose to be a great time, but to me it just seemed like Hell. I wanted to get out of here, and take some Advil and sleep. Nothing sounded better right now. I knew I couldn't leave without Audrey though.
I had to call her, but of course I just got her voicemail, "Hey Aud, it's me Kieran. I don't know where the hell you went, but I'm going back to the hotel, so um see you there I guess."
I didn't want to leave her here alone, but technically she left me alone. I started walking through all the crazy people hoping that I would stumble across our hotel soon enough.
I was wishing I was at home right now with my parents and my little sister. How nice that would be at this moment. I had never been much of a party person. Don't get me wrong I like to have a good time, but that was only with my close friends, and I wasn't ashamed of being with my family. I loved them more than anything. I had never had a boyfriend, and I was proud of that. I wasn't about to let some stupid guy run his hands all over me, and then leave me. I had seen it done to my closest girlfriends a million times. Plus, I was only 19 and in my first year of college at LSU. I had a future to look forward too. It's not like I'm bad looking though. I see myself as normal, but pretty. I had long wavy brown hair with blue eyes, and I was all of 5 foot nothing. I was a petite girl weighing all of 110 pounds. I had a shape though, and I was content with myself. That's all that matters right?
It seemed that I had walked for what seemed like forever, and I had no clue where I was. There wasn't a sound in sight, and I was getting nervous. I hated the dark with a passion, and at this moment it seemed terribly dark. You would think with a name that means dark, I wouldn't have this terrible fear of it. But I did. Ever since the vampires came out two years ago my fear had worsened. I had never met one, and I hoped I never would.
I decided the best thing to do at this moment was to try and call someone who could tell me where the hotel is and how to get there. I was growing frustrated, and by looking at myself and seeing the no signal had me over the edge. I hated this, and I hated Audrey right now. I couldn't take it anymore, I had to sit. I was highly pissed and scared out of my mind. Life couldn't get any worse at this moment.
That's when I felt someone's eyes watching me, and that's when suddenly I was staring at someone tall and all I could see where the shine of his fangs. Oh Dear God, I though. And that is when he grabbed me and bit, and my screams washed through the silence of the night.
