I can't say much now. Time is short. Who am I kidding? Time is always short. To short to live, not short enough to outlive. My name is Maya Stephans. I have been on the run from the Night World for a year. Why? You may ask. I was attacked last year; it's not that important. But talk about a rude awakening! One night I was sitting on the couch making fun, and loving, the latest Dawson's Creek episode, and the next I was running from vampires. Vampires! Can you believe it? I know I didn't.
Just a word to the wise, when you hear about a hip, new club with a dark theme - don't go. It'll save you a lot of pain. Though I guess I can't save you any pain. If you've read this far you know too much. What you should do, is close this book right now and burn it. Then forget everything you've read. They can kill you for the little that you know already. Those are their laws. They see, but aren't seen. They know, but aren't known. We, the humans, are their prey. We can't help that, but we don't have to accept it.
So do you want to know my story? Are you sure? Positive? Really, really sure?
Okay.
So how do these things usually start…
Oh, yeah. You think you know, but you have no idea.
Here's my story.
