Chapter8
The next day my dad, Ian, and I went to Disney World and Epcot Center. We had a great time.
That evening, Ethan picked me up at 6:30. I wore my new dress.
"Comment allez-vous?"I asked Ethan in French.
Tres Bien. Et toi?" he answered, a knowing grin on his face.
"Fine, thanks." I answered and we left for his place. The party was already going when we got there. Ethan pushed open the door and we saw Sita in the kitchen.
"How are things going here? Everyone behaving themselves" Ethan asked. She nodded and we went into the living room. There, I began to meet people.
Ethan and I walked up to a girl with long, curly red hair.
"Hey, Poppy. Where's James?" Ethan asked her.
"Hey. I think he went to the bathroom." It was then that she noticed me. "Hi, I'm Poppy. You must be Kerry."
"Poppy and James' relationship is a different one. She'll tell you about it later. Over here we have Thea and Eric with Gillian and David." Ethan introduced me to them and we continued on.
We came up to a different group all together.
"Kerry, this here is Quinn and Rashel," he said, talking about a black-haired couple. Then, standing right next to them was an ash blond guy with his arm around a pretty brunette, "and Ash and Mary-Lynnette."
After they left Ash and Mary-Lynnette, there were only two people Kerry hadn't been introduced to yet. A quiet, tall guy and a girl with blond hair and a pink birthmark running down one of her cheekbones.
"And this is Hannah and Thierry Descouedres. The Lord and Lady of the Night World."
Thierry's eyes glared at Ethan and she knew he had violated a big rule. Although, Ethan didn't seem to care about any of Thierry's rules.
The night went by and, by the end of the party, I had heard all their stories, including Sita's. At 5:30 in the morning, I had been awake almost twenty-four hours.
Ethan announced that it was time for me to go back to the hotel. He had known I was practically dead on my feet.
On the way back, I fell asleep in the car. When we got to the hotel, I woke up when he picked me up and asked me what room I was in. I told him and promptly fell back to sleep.
I woke up that morning around 10:30, still in my dress.

Chapter 9
I had enjoyed that party like none other. That night Dad, Ian, and I went out to supper.
Ethan and I spent a lot of time together those two weeks, always at night, of course.
I was thinking to myself a few days before we had to go home. I had decided, finally. I knew what I wanted.
I wanted to become a vampire.
It's funny how things happen, right when you've made the biggest decision of your life.

Chapter 10
I had given Ethan's phone number to Ian, just in case Ethan had to be called for any reason.
I'd had to go to the store to buy some new books and personal supplies for the way back home. I made it safely to the store. It was on the way back, about two blocks from the hotel, when it happened.
I was starting to drive through a green light and all of a sudden, a truck to my left came rushing through their red light.
Seeing him just in time, I wrapped the strap of my purse around my wrist so it wouldn't be lost. The driver of the truck slammed into my side and my chest hit the steering wheel. I heard some bones in my chest crack and break and my left arm became trapped between the steering wheel and the door.
The deep pain I was feeling in my chest and arm made my vision fade to black and I slipped into unconsciousness.
