Chapter 1
I had just turned 6 we went out for my birthday. We just left the pound where I got a 2 month old wolf-husky mix, and we were in the parking lot. It was after dark and we were parked far out from the building. We had at least 30 feet to the car when something came up behind us and ran by so fast it knocked us down. When it came back I saw it was a strangely beautiful man.
He had perfectly white teeth and as I looked closer I noticed...fangs? " No impossible, those are just stories, vampires aren't real. " I thought. He suddenly jumped on my mom, he grabbed her neck . I was froze in my place, clutching Mud Bud's cage like a lifeline. The vampire bit my mom's neck and instead of screaming and running away from him I did the exact opposite. I dropped Mudbud's cage and charged at him. I started clawing at him and ripped him apart. When I stop I realized I had paws instead of hands and feet.
I turned to face my mom hoping she wasn't dead to see her, not scared but...proud? " How, no, why is she proud?" I thought only for it to echo back to me. I let out a wimper . " Don't be scared baby girl. Just think of being human." She said in calm voice, approaching me weekly. I did as she said and the next thing I know I'm laying on the ground with hands and feet. Mom came and gave me a hug congratulating me.
I then noticed she was bleeding from the spot where he bit her. " Mommy, your hurt!" I said excitedly. " You have to burn the pieces." She said in much more week voice. " Mommy?!" I exclaimed. " Sweetie, you have to promise me something OK?" She said. I mearly nodded my head." Promise me you will never lose your temper, be open minded. Never push people away because of your secret, but never tell anyone either. But most of all know I will always be with you even when you imprint." She told me.
" Mommy what's imprint mean?" I sniffled trying not to cry. " Sweetie, imprinting is like when you see him you fall instantly in love." She said. " So like , love at first sight like in fairytales?" I asked her forgetting some what that she was dieing ." It's not like love at first sight, really. It's more like...gravity moves. When you see him, suddenly it's not the earth holding you here anymore. He does. And nothing matters more than him. And you would do anything for him, be anything for him... You become whatever he needs you to be, whether that's a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a sister. Never forget that Maxine , never forget." She said and with her last breath she said," I love you." Then her body went limp in my little arms.
