Hi everybody! My story takes place two years after the book Silver Kiss. In my story Simon did not kill himself and left to go find other vampires. It is rated T for some violence but rating may change as story progresses. Please review. I will not update until I have 3 reviews. Thanks for reading my story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Silver Kiss, but I do own an imagination!

Zoë was sitting at the kitchen table with a mug of hot-coco in her hands. She wasn't drinking it, just letting the warmth form the mug seep into her body. The silent phone lay next to her on the table. Her dad had left early that morning for the hospital. Anne's heart was failing. They had been called in to say goodbye. Zoë went and said goodbye to her mom but she didn't think Anne heard her. Anne had been sleeping, hardly breathing. I was like she was already dead. Zoë couldn't stand it. She loved her mom with all her heart but she couldn't be there for the end. Now Zoë waited for that fatal call, and all she could do was pray. I need someone to talk to. She thought to herself. She didn't want to call Lorraine incase she kept the phone busy when her father called. I miss Simon. Zoë sighed.

It had been two years since Simon left. After he killed Christopher he went to search for other vampires, like him. He wrote to Zoë often and she wrote back when she had the chance. When she last heard from him he was making his way north to Canada, than to Alaska, and finally to Russia. While he had been tracking down Christopher he heard of strange animal killings in northern Canada. All the animals' throats were slit and their blood drained. He had figured in wasn't Christopher, because Christopher only killed humans, but was suspicious of other vampires. Simon had written to her from Canada saying there were other vampires out there and the Canadian ones were peaceful. They lived way up north where the daylight only shown for a few hours and all the flowing water was frozen. He had been so happy, but they told there were violent vampires in Russia and a very large population of good and bad vampires in Europe. Simon had stayed with them for 10 months and than gathered a group of them together and traveled west to Alaska to cross the Bering Strait. He said he was on his way to meet the violent vampires and possible exterminate them. Zoë had not heard from him since. She had however told him that her mother was going to die very soon and that she missed him terribly.

If only he were here, Zoë thought as she took a drink from her mug. Than I wouldn't have to be alone while I wait. Many of the neighbors had offered to have her wait at their house but Zoë had wanted to go throw the picture albums, making the memories last forever. She couldn't get through the first book without crying so she went to go make herself some hot-coco. And here she was, waiting for her father to call and tell her that her mother was dead. Zoë gave a dry chuckle as she remembered her therapist's words. Dh on't isolate yourself, there are other people going through the same thing you are. They can help you. Now look at the mess I'm in. Just that than the phone rang. Zoë was scared to answer it but she knew she had to.

"Hello?" Zoë nervously asked the unidentified person at the other end of the phone line.

"Hi, Zoë! I'm glad your home." It was Lorraine. She was calling to check up on Zoë. What was Zoë suppose to do? Tell her best friend to hang up because she was waking for her mother's death warrant?

"Lis...listen Lorraine, I…I can't talk right now." Zoë's voice was still shaky from crying earlier.

"Oh My God Zoë, is your mom okay?" Lorraine sounded so concerned that Zoë couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, I'm just waiting for a phone call. Do you mind hanging up? I promise I'll call you later." Zoë tried to sound as cheerful as she could but Lorraine could still tell something was wrong.

"Sure Zoë, what ever you say. Hope everything's okay." Lorraine hung up and Zoë placed the phone back on the table. No sooner than she did, it started ringing again.

"Is this Zoë Sutcliff?" an unidentified female voice asked.

"Yes, why? Who is this?" Zoë was confused how did this person know her name?

"I am a nurse at the hospital. I am afraid I have some bad news. Your mother is dead."
