Chapter 1 & Prologue
Prologue…
My name is Catherine Chandler and I am half human, half vampire. I have been in hiding over two hundred years every since my aunt died when I was nineteen. My father was a vampire and my mother was human, they didn't know it was possible and my mother died giving birth to me. My father left me with my aunt ot raise because he blamed himself for my mother's death. He is still alive out there somewhere in hiding just like me. I have asked myself why me, why am I like this?
After my aunt died I left my home town and found a small warehouse in New York to hide in. I had met someone when I got here and tried to keep my vampire side in control and we were close almost like sisters' until one I lost control and almost killed her. It scared her away and I don't blame anyone for being scared of what I am. I feel alone most of the time, but I know it is for the best or at least for now.
Present Day New York … Six O clock in the evening…
My day was going like any other day. It started with me dragging myself out of the bed and into the shower. But I had as a human got close to the warehouse I need to feed. I can survive on human food but I have blood part of the time. After my shower I got dressed and grabbed my daylight bracelet that kept me from burning when I came in contact with the sunlight. But the sun had started to go down for the day.
Around eight o clock the sun was down and I was ready to go get some air and get rid of the craving I was having for blood. I don't kill I only take what I need but yet I do still bring attention when patients show up at the hospital with a memory. I have always found a weakness and that is vervain, it is a herb that burns are skin and keeps us from using are compelling on people. I have to be careful that I don not get close to someone that has it on them or in them to protect themselves .
I was on the roof tops trying not be seen. The streets were flooded with people on this night and I knew my best bet would to be the alleys or back ways to the city where people could go to avoid traffic and some people walk them as well. But I was on the roof tops when I picked up on a heart beat and footsteps coming closer. I went to turn to jump of the roof but I was too late I was seen and I lost control and attacked. I was then surprised I ended up on the ground and jerked back up by the arm.
"How did you do that?"` I asked the gentlemen. "We all have are secrets and I know yours"
"Then what is it"
"the way your eyes turned and everything you are a vampire"
"Yeah and you smell human"
"look I know what it is like I am not a vampire but I am in hiding as well"
"Tell me it would be nice have at least a friend in my life"
"Is there somewhere we could talk"
"Yes and I am Catherine by the way"
"Vincent I hope you wont try and kill me again"
"Sorry most of the time I lose control and I can't stop myself"
"Lets go" We ran the roof tops back to the warehouse and I was curious to hear his story and make a friend. Maybe all these years of hiding in the shadows and the dark will finally come to an end and I will finally have someone that understand what I am going through.
It is a short chapter as a start but I am sure you guys will like what I have to come for Vincent and Catherine….
