Summary: This is a story of a teenaged girl who falls in love with a vampire, and her decisions.
The Night World isn't a place. It's all around us. It's a secret society of vampires, werewolves, witches and other creatures of darkness that live among us. They're beautiful and deadly and irresistible to humans. Your high school teacher could be one, and so could your boyfriend.
The Night World laws say it's okay to hunt humans. It's okay to toy with their hearts; it's even okay to kill them. But there are only two things you can't do with them.
1. Never let them discover that the Night World exists.
2. Never fall in love with one.
These are the stories of what happens when the rules get broken...
Prologue
Sphinx Kalpana woke up to the sound of the house alarm going off loudly. She stood and headed for the door, but stopped at the sound of her mother's blood curdling scream. She quickly ran out of her room and down the stairs, but stopped suddenly when a hand wrapped around her throat and another one around her waist pinning her arms to her sides.
"Stay still." A rough male voice whispered in her ear.
She froze and nodded shivering.
"Good." The voice said.
The man pulled her farther into the living room, where she saw her mother's body lying on her back. Her eyes sightless and dead starred up at the ceiling. Above a pool of blood on her neck were two punctured marks.
Sphinx felt someone move in front of her and grasped her head in their hands. She tried to pull back the person was too strong.
"Hold still." A voice said in front of her, and she was pulled off her feet and dangled in the air for a few seconds before being pulled closer to the guy.
Sphinx tried squirm away but couldn't for the man behind her was holding her tightly in place.
A harsh laugh echoed from the man in front.
"I love it when vermin fight." He said.
Vermin? What the hell does he mean vermin?Sphinx thought.
"I am not vermin you swine." She yelled.
Then with all her might swung her legs backward into the assailants' crotch then forward into the other man's crotch. Sphinx fell to floor painfully but got up and started to run. Before she had taken ten steps she was jarred onto the floor.
She turned on to her back and freed one hand; she reached for a pencil on the floor. Grabbing it she shoved it as hard as she could into the guys neck. He howled and pulled back, backhanding her. Just as she thought she was going to pass out she heard sirens approaching.
The other man grabbed him by the wrist, "Come on man let's go. We've done our job here."
Looking at his wrist Sphinx saw a tattoo of a pentagram.
She watched them run out the back door and off into the night. Looking over her shoulder she saw police running in the house. Slowly she closed her eyes and let the pain and darkness engulf her.
