The Forest: A Mr. Crepsley Love Story
Introduction:
"I want you to know that I will always be somewhere, near you. It doesn't matter how far I am, anytime you are in trouble or in danger, I will be there for you. See you next time, my black pearl." He said as he vanished into the dark.

I wake up… I'm breathing heavily… I really CAN"T STAND having that dream anymore. I've been dreaming the same thing for the last six months. And the worst part is that everytime I wake up, the only thing that I remember is that one last thing he said.
I know you're not wondering who "HE" is, since you probably read the description of this story, but as I am a huge fan of clichés,
I will pretend that you ARE wondering who is this "HE" and I'm going to describe our beloved vampire Mr. Crepsley (I love calling him Mr. Crepsley, instead of Larten Crepsley; I don't really know why). So, here we go. He is the ugliest, but at the same time, most beautiful vampire that I've ever seen. He had orange hair.. he was tall, he had black eyes… He is probably the nicest living dead that I have ever seen(not that I've seen too many) He was always there when I needed him and he always saved me when I got into trouble. He was, is and will always be one of a kind. But that's enough… I don't like talking about him.. it always makes me want to cry.
Back to my room now… I can't sleep anymore. Even though I keep my eyes closed, I just can't fall asleep.
I look down the window and I see all that perfect, silver, white snow. There is no trace of any human being… There is no trace of LIFE at all. From underneath my pillows, I hear a faint "Meow". Then a small black head pops out looking at me with big, emerald green eyes. Looks like Tom could really us some petting… So, he just jumped on my lap and I started to pet him, but I was not really giving him many attention, so he goes back to sleep again..
I look out the window again… Today is Christmas.. In a few hours my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, my cousins and I don't know how many family friends that I HATE will be here, and I'll have to give the best fake smile that I can.. God, how much I hate this (don't get me wrong, I don't hate CHRISTMAS, I just hate all those hugs and kisses)!!!
5:00 AM
Suddenly, the craziest idea I've had in two years occurs to me. I quickly go and have a shower, comb my hair and put on my most beautiful dress( that's because all the guests will probably arrive before I could be back) and head to the kitchen. It's all so incredibly quiet in the house. It's creepy, but yet peaceful and pleasant. I leave a note for my parents on the refrigerator, grab my coat and head to the door. The moment I am outside and feel all that cold air on my face I feel free and relieved… I can't really describe those feelings. I love the cold… I don't really know why… maybe because Mr. Crepsley was always so cold. It reminded me of him, in a way. Maybe…
I start going to the forest that is situated at about a mile from my house. It's really weird, because I haven't gone there for more than a year, but it is like some supernatural force is guiding me. Finally, after about an hour of walking, I am once again in front of that place that I never managed (and never WANTED) to forget, the place I always dream about, the place that has changed my life forever. But, on top of all, the place where I first met Mr. Crepsley.
It all started in October, 2007.
