Chapter One- Did I Ever Mention How Much I Hate Parties?
Jakov's Point of view:
I stared at myself in the mirror, still concerned about my dream, which I'd had for the past two or three weeks. The pale face of the girl was burned into my brain, her eyes serious even through her intense pain. I didn't know her, yet. She was like an angel, perfect in many ways. She seemed so real, like I could really taste the sting of her blood slithering down my throat. I could still feel the tingle, even after my dream had ended. It tasted sweeter than the sweetest chocolates, so much that I could hardly stomach it.
I quickly snapped out of my trance, the sound of the door opening startled me. I tousled my crimson hair slightly; my golden eyes smoldered. "Jakov!" A voice called from downstairs. It was my human friend, Aaron. I flew down the stairs, grabbing my coat as I ran. His brown shaggy hair was combed neatly to the side; his blue eyes ice cold beneath it.
"We're going to a party tonight, kay?" he asked impatiently. "It's for my girlfriend's birthday and she wants everyone there. Maybe you'll find someone tonight."
"I'd rather not." I replied glumly, the small girl still in my head.
"C'mon man!" he groaned. "She has some pretty hot friends; you're bound to like one of them eventually."
"I still don't feel like going."
"Why not?"
"I have a lot on my mind." It was true, I did. And it was all about that girl.
"Come on." He groaned again. "Just one night?" He pleaded silently.
"Okay I give in." I whined.
"Yes!" He yelled in relief.

We arrived at the party soon after we had left. You could hear the noise of the club blocks away. Aaron went straight to his girlfriend while I just stood among the crowd. I looked at the many women dancing, seeing if there was anyone suitable. They all flocked around me, as if there were no other men in the room. There were some beautiful women there, but none of them really caught my attention.
AnaMarie's point of view:
My friend Irina squeezed me into a horrifically short dress, making my pale skin stand out against the fragile material. This dress was a deep maroon, and strapless. I felt awkward, hoping my clumsiness wouldn't get the better of me. Her best friend's birthday party was tonight, and she was forcing me to go. She wanted me to meet some people, maybe even get a boyfriend. I was reluctant to go, and I didn't go down without a fight.
***
We arrived late, and the party was already started. All the girls who were there were around one man, who I can unwillingly admit, was completely adorable. I snuck through the crowd; I looked out of place amongst the other girls. I was pale, even with the lights dimmed. I wasn't dancing; I just wanted to get the party over with.
I looked at the man in between all of the other girls, who was actually standing still. My pale skin caught his attention and I walked away silently. He followed willingly, the girls following him. He shooed the girls and they groaned as they went the other way. His eyes stayed on me. His gaze did not waver as he swerved between the people dancing.
I got stuck in the crowd, giving him time to catch up to me. A drunken man put his arm around me and whispered," Hey baby." He fell over sickly, he was definitely hung over. It was awkward, and not the man following me. I struggled until I got free, heading for the door. I supposed I would walk home if I had to. I didn't want to stick around these slime balls any longer, even though I'd just arrived.
I quickly staggered through the door, trying to escape the alcoholic smell that loomed over everyone inside. I struggled on my heels, being bumped and pushed until I got across the street. The man still struggled through the people, his gaze still locked on me. I picked up my pace, seeing him running after me out of the corner of my eye. I sighed, this man never gave up. He was persistent and annoying.
I crossed went to cross the street, trying to make the man disappear. I took a few steps into the road. All the sudden intense pain shot through me body. Everything went black and I heard a man yelling. I felt my self drift of into unconsciousness slowly and painfully.
So this chapter is finally done and I'm already working on the next so just be patient. We have freezing rain here so there's really nothing to do.
I hope you guys like it, and sorry about the cliff hanger. I don't like them either but sometimes it's necessary to do this.
Well enjoy! Please review
