This is chapter one of my first vampire fic. I know, it's short. I'm infamous for that. I'm hoping you'll like it. For those who read my other story Secret and are waiting for the sequel, don't worry, it will come. Anyways, mistakes are mine. CSI Miami is, well, not mine. CC is welcome, and reviews are loved.

She was traveling through the Miami streets at night. She knew what she had to do, though it made her uncomfortable, it always made her uncomfortable. But it was required, if she was to go about in a normal fashion. Her job wouldn't work very well if she didn't do this.

Her blonde hair flowed in the wind. She became alert all the sudden. Someone was in distress. There was an attack in a home near by. She felt for the energy of the one in trouble. She recognized it. "Ryan." she said under her breath. Her friend was in trouble. She had to rush.

She ran into Ryan's home and found another vampire standing over a very unconscious Ryan. "Step away from him."

The man glared in her direction. "He's mine. I saw him first."

"He's not to be fed off of."

"Oh really, and why is that?"

"He's good; you fed from those who do wrong."

"I see, you're one of those kinds of vampires. Older and with morals. Newsflash, those days are over." He began to reach for Ryan, but the blonde was too quick. She grabbed the monster and threw him.

"I said don't touch him." She glared. "This is your last warning, leave."

"Fine, but I'll be back when you least expect it. If not me, others will." He jumped through the window.

The woman turned Ryan over. "Ryan," she slightly tapped his face, "Are you ok?" Ryan slowly gained consciousness. "Ryan?"

Ryan smiled and winced. "Yeah, I'm as fine as I can be."

"Good. I'm glad you're ok."

"If you didn't come, who knows what would have happened. Thanks Calleigh."

Calleigh smiled, knowing what would have happened f she wasn't near. "You're welcome Ryan." While helping Ryan up on his feet, she thought about the words of the other vampire that attacked. "If not me, others will." This wasn't good. Not at all.


I Like the idea of Calleigh being a vampire, so I started writing this.
