I do not own Twilight, all credit goes to Stephanie Meyer. However all original characters are mine.

Big thanks to my best friend for helping me edit this thing. Yes her real name is Nina and mine is Gaby.

I know this chapter is really short but don't worry they'll get longer!!!

Chapter 1

"Why?!" That was my first word in my new life. I had practically screamed it and I'm surprised the whole neighborhood didn't wake up.

3 nights ago I was having a camp-out with my best friend in the woods at a campground near her house. Her name is Nina and she is truly my best friend. She's more like the sister I never had. I've known her all my life; she's only 2 months older than me.

Anyway, during this camp-out we were giggling, creating silly videos, telling scary stories, and even making a couple of prank phone calls. All of a sudden we heard a noise. It was a loud growl that pierced the silence of night. That made my heart race and my eyes bug out with fear. Nina was frightened too. Both of us just sat there in the tent, like idiots, and waited to see what would happen next.

I could tell something, or someone, was circling. Like in the pattern of some animal.

"If I didn't know any better," I whispered to Nina, "I'd say this was a vampire attack. No joke Nina. I know Twilight and I know how a vampire hunts." She never had an interest to read Twilight. She didn't want to get into the madness and her parents didn't want her to either. Talk about irony.

"Can't be. It just can't be. They don't exist Gaby they just don't! It's gotta be some animal," she replied, her voice breaking on the last word.

"Ssssshhh!!!" I clasped my hand over her mouth. "Nina that didn't sound like an animal before. Worse, it sounded like a vampire."

She stared at me with wide eyes, "No way!"

I nodded my head. "Nina, I know you know this already but, if we die tonight I want you to know that you are my best friend, my soul-sister."

"Same for me. You are my soul-sister," she paused. "Gaby, what if we live?"

"Then we take this secret to the grave," I replied.

That's the last time we spoke to each other. I could hear the creature was finally ready to attack; it growled for the second time then charged at the tent. Nina screamed but I didn't. I was frozen with fear. I'm surprised my heart didn't fly out of my chest.

Before I knew it the tent was being torn to shreds. Then he appeared. His body was stunning. He was wearing torn, faded jeans and no shirt. His hair was messy and jet black. His eyes - crimson. He just stood there for a moment observing us - observing his prey.

Tears started streaming down both mine and Nina's face. Our hearts were working double time. The vampire then crouched and charged at Nina first. Since I was the one with a heart condition it made sense; Nina had a normal heart.

"No!" I screamed louder than I ever had in my life. The vampire took pleasure in my outburst and turned away from Nina to attack me.

He immediately went for the jugular. I screamed almost as loud as I had the first time. Then he did something I had not expected. He spit my blood out. Maybe there was something wrong with my blood. Maybe he was just picky. My heart was almost normal. It was still human B+ blood that ran through my veins. But I guess he detected that my blood was not pure.

He was so disgusted that he stood up in the desecrated tent and left.

At that moment I didn't have much strength. Nina's body laid next to me unmoving. I knew we had to get out of this area. Way too open. The next day was supposed to be sunny. Winter was finally ending in New York. Just my luck.

The pain was excruciating. Especially while trying to drag both of our bodies to the nearest dumpster; which was 2 camp sites away.

When I finally reached the dumpster I lifted Nina into it first. Then I got in and just waited out the change; almost destroying the dumpster in the process. I knew my life would never be the same.
