Prologue "My turning" :
What ran through my mind as I walked the dark forgotten streets of Seattle was nothing but hunger. I had left the house two weeks ago and still wasn't able to find a place to stay, or eat for free.
I clenched my teeth hard as my stomach rumbled again. Sure, I had gotten random items out of the trash, but I didn't want to do that ever again. I was sixteen and should have been able to find a job, but no one hires a girl who looks like she is homeless.
I didn't have a car, much less money to pay for gas. So I had to walk everywhere. That's why I found myself walking those streets, trying to find a safe looking place to stay for the night. My dark skin blending in with the dark around me. That was what I used to try to keep my mind off of the hunger that had consumed my stomach.
My hand latched onto my stomach as it growled louder this time. I was now almost to tears. Then out of no where, there was a male figure. He wasn't to far from me, may a few feet.
I stopped and stepped to the side of the sidewalk, to let him pass. He gave me a slight smile, but didn't move. He motioned to my stomach.
"You seem quite hungry…Why don't I get you something to eat?" He asked.
To me, his voice was soothing. I smiled, and nodded.
"That would be amazing, Thanks so much!" I tried to say, my voice cracking out of the fact I hadn't talked in a while. He motioned for me to follow. Since I was too hungry to refuse I followed blindly.
"So, what's your name?" He asked as I caught up with him.
" My name is Dillon, but most of my friends call me Dill." I replied trying to smile
He gave me a look of confusion " A girl named Dillon? that's odd" He said quietly.
I shrugged "I don't really care. It doesn't really matter if it's odd. What is your name?" I asked looking forward, not noticing how we weren't going in the direction of any food distributor, but to a dark alley.
"I am Riley" He simply stated as we rounded the corner, into a very scary dark alley.
After we had turned the corner, he turned to me and gave an…almost wicked smile. Then next thing I knew he had bitten me, and my whole body felt like it was on fire.
I screamed out in pain. IT hurt so bad, I hardly noticed anything else. Like how he had covered my mouth, and picked me up. Or how long the car ride was.
But the next thing I noticed besides the pain was how I was in a house, with a red headed woman towering over me while I was laying down writhering in pain. The male, Riley was with her. And then the pain got so bad I couldn't think about anything anymore.
