okay here is my third chapter! i will be adding the fourth very very soon i just couldn't fit it all into this one and i have to finish editing it. so read on! oh and tell me if there is anything i can do to make these better

the sun was bright when I woke up in the morning, shining down through the branches of the pine tree I had chosen to

sleep under. Ha like I needed shelter, but I'd be less likely to be seen in the shadow. I couldn't believe I could even sleep, in

all of the stories we couldn't. i looked around wondering where in the canyon i had ended up and i found myself in a very

small clearing filled with rabbit holes, i could hear their tiny hearts thundering against their rib cages as if they knew what i

was. then i realized that the dry pain in my throat had gotten worse the pain was searing like a white hot brand and i

wanted to get at the rabbits just to quench it. but i listened looking for bigger game. i heard the heart of a doe nearby

fluttering weakly. i found it and saw she was all alone and hurt. i put her out of her misery and drained her. my old self

cringing at the thought of the thick blood going down my throat. the searing was gone but a dull ache still throbbed. it would

always i think on a diet of animal blood. i wonder if mom and kari and Jaynie got home okay. the question haunted, nagging

me till I got up and started running. following the scent i had left last night. It was even better than the stories! I could go

faster than any person, or machine, so fast I could hardly be seen. the exilerating speed got me to the road that went

down into the valley within two minutes and I realized how slow I had been going last night. compared to this it was

nothing. I stopped at that turn first because I could hear my neighbor's dad mowing their lawn and second our house was

surrounded by the yellow warning tape and police cars. the yard was swarming with agents from the FBI and CIA. I was

weirded out seeing them there, I never thought my disappearance would bring about such important people. Mr. Holman

looked as shocked as I felt, I don't think he believed what he was seeing. his rows were starting to resemble a

crooked staircase. one of the agents went over to talk to him and because of my amazingly acute new senses I could tune in

to what they said.

"The family is dead all three of them." the FBI agent soberly explained

"three of them?"

"Yes, three females"

"but there should be four girls." the confused and panicky look on his usually so serious face was almost laughable. almost.

"Excuse me?"

"The family had three daughters one six years, one around twenty the middle one sixteen. and the mom who was about

forty"

the policeman looked shocked, his eyebrows were almost to his hairline.

"We would like you to come with us, you might know something that will help us find her."

"which one is missing?" Mr. Holman's face showed he didn't want to hear the answer.

"The middle girl, the killer must have taken her."

"Okay, I'll help in anyway I can."

"We appreciate your willingness to help, come this way." i could see the holman kids peering through a slit in the blinds,

watching their dad walk away with the agent who had regained composure but his eyes seemed to scream

at me not another one, not another little girl that will never come home. I had spent to long near people and someone could

have seen me. I started running and soon I smelled someone near by. a jogger whose scent burned in my nose, and the

desire to rip and tear and kill overwhelmed me. it burned in my throat, and made my head spin, I couldn't smell anything but

the rusty scent of the girls blood pounding through her veins. I couldn't let myself kill her. I had to do anything to get away

from this human that smelled

so edible. I shivered and ran faster and harder to get away. If I hurt her I would never forgive myself. i ran until the sun was

high in the sky i stopped to look around and found myself miles away from her, and I was calm enough to hunt down a

couple squirrels and a bird or two. I was horrified, I had

wanted to kill that girl for the satisfaction of drinking her blood. I shivered in the light breeze I couldn't even feel. I will never

kill a human I promised myself. I started wandering around the the field I had ended up in, it was surrounded by thick pine

trees covered in vines and moss. on the south side I found a small creek and on the north side there was a gigantic treeso

covered in green stuffi could barely recognize it as a tree. looking around i couldn't think of what to do next. what does a

vampire do in her spare time?
