The next morning, Serena woke groggily. She dragged her tired, limp body into her bathroom and began to get ready for a new day. She carefully applied her make-up when her dream from the night before resurfaced in her mind. Bang.Bang. Plop! Two bodies fell to the floor. A man in black stood at the other side of the park, gun in hand and ready to kill. Serena couldn't make out his face in the darkness, but she felt like she knew him. She turned toward the bodies when the truth hit her. Serena knew this scene; it was her parent's death. She was in the park hunting this night. Her parents had realized she was missing at dinnertime and had gone out to search for her. Then in the park. Bang. Bang. Turning toward the noise she was seeing them fall. She was reliving that horrible night again. The night she really joined the darkness, and was left utterly alone. Serena's focus returned to the mirror, she suddenly was crying again. 'Damn it!' She still didn't know who's done this to her parents. Knowing who had killed them would at least give her something to think about, but no she is alone. She's going to make them pay for what they'd done. She still heard her mother's voice early in the morning, calling to say that it was time to get up and go to school. Still saw the look on her fathers face as he smiled when he saw her come down the stairs in the morning. It was all still so fresh in her mind. The pain it caused her was too real. She needed to get out of her apartment. Where she wasn't completely alone. Then again, no matter where she was, she'd always be utterly alone. She couldn't say that exactly. She wasn't really totally alone the moment her parents died. After all, she'd had friends. Rie, Lita, Ami, Mina, Molly, Melvin, and Andrew; they'd all tried to help her get over the tough times. Then after a while they were so distant. She'd pushed them all away. They'd come to her house to support her, help her plan the funeral, offer her a place to stay, and basically just keep her company, but she'd pushed them away. Maybe it was just that she couldn't handle them being so near. They weren't a part of her new life. A life where she couldn't have ties. Her parents' death had proved that much, if anything. So now she was alone, by her own doing. Just sort of going threw the motions of her life. Finishing high school, getting her apartment, her parents after all had left her provided for, and looking for work for next year. Going to college wasn't really practical. She couldn't work nights, and the education would be wasted on a person that would most likely just die young anyway. After all, she'd almost died already so many times. **Flash Back** We see Serena cornered in a dark ally with a vampire blocking her exit. Obviously she was scared out of her mind. She wasn't even moving anymore, just sort of trembling and whimpering, and the vampire was closing in. "What's the matter little girl? Don't you wanna play with me?" "Get away from me," she screams while thrashing at the vampire wildly with a stake, he simply ducks her attack, "I'll stake you if you come closer!" "Well girlie, it's that or die." Serena leaps suddenly at the vampire stake first. He twists her around quickly by her wrists and traps her against his chest. Then he bares her neck and starts to lean in. Suddenly the vampire vanishes in a cloud of dust. Serena turn to find whom her savior is, but no one is there. **End Flash Back** Serena's mind returns to the present, and she quickly leaves the bathroom. Once in her room she dresses in blue boot cut jeans and nice white spaghetti strapped shirt. After throwing on socks and a pair of sneakers she grabs her purse and heads for the lobby. Stopping by the main entrance she waves to Peter, the man at the front desk, and grabs her mail. Then she heads for the garage.

Sry if this shows up all as one paragraph, but something is wrong when I upload things from my mac.
