I gazed up at the cloudy sky and looked down on my prey. I have to make this quick I told myself as I dug into the deer's neck. I quickly snapped my head back up, happy that I finally satisfied my thirst. I carelessly flung the dead deer into a nearby bush and walked out of the forest.

My name is Alayna or at least that's what I think it is. I can never remember the days when I was still human. I am seventeen and will forever remain that age. I hear that when some humans turn into vampires, they bring a gift along. My gift is unlike all the others; I have the power to go from dimension to dimension, meaning that I can go from Earth to another planet or whatever. I loathe my gift. I always wondered why I couldn't be like the normal vampires, the ones without gifts. I could go on perfectly fine without a gift.

I looked around to make sure the coast was clear and sprinted toward the mountain side. I slowly approached an opening and was about to enter when a sudden voice startled me.

"What took you so long, princess?" the voice teased.

I spun around and smirked a little. "Well why not, Hayden, this is only the second time I went alone to hunt."

Hayden rolled his eyes. "Well, I expected one time to be enough for you to learn this one rule. In our coven, we don't go alone. Put some more trust in me why don't you?"

I shook my head and walked in the coven's base. After five years, we've finally been able to turn this place from a plain mountainside to our hideout. I nodded at two vampires chilling at the couch and walked into my room. I looked down from my window and saw him standing there, waiting for me. I took a deep breathe, jumped down, and landed with silently on the beach shore.

He turned and smiled his wonderful smile. "How was your second time hunting….alone?" He hesitated a little on the last word but I knew him; he didn't care whether I hunted alone or not.

I smiled politely. "Why, Alan, I never knew you cared," I said teasingly.

He rolled his eyes playfully. "Ok, Alayna, time for you to go to sleep."

"I don't sleep; I'm a vampire, Alan! Stop treating me like a human," I yelled. Ever since he found me and took me in, he's been treating me more like an annoying human than his fellow vampire.

"Okay, okay!" he said laughing, "go hunting or whatever you like to do."

I stomped back into my room, jumped into my bed, and threw over the covers. I sighed. It was really only fair that only the two of us knew what really went on between me and him. He was the one who turned me into a vampire in order to save me from a terrible plague. I never wanted to admit it but I loved him and I think that he pretty much feels the same way. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but sleep never comes to a vampire so just laid there. Then I heard a soft rustling outside my door to. I heard someone jump out and the scent hit me like a strong wave. There was a human in our hideout.
