He was the first to attack; he kicked out with his leg and was surprised at how fast I was.

"Skye look out!" Lara yelled as he punched me in the stomach.

"Get out of here Lara!" I yelled and she climbed out the window. The guy went to go after her.

"Don't even think about it," I said as I him hit across the face. He got a few good hits in but I got more. He finally gave up, but not the way I would have liked, he pushed me into the wall, pulled out a gun and pointed it right in the middle of my head. I froze.

"Game over little one," he said.

"It game over when I say it is," I said as I kneed him in the stomach. He dropped the gun and dropped to the ground, I must have got him harder then I thought I did. I picked up the gun, pointed it at him, I put my foot on his chest to keep him on the ground. "Are you going to tell me who are you and what are you doing here?" I asked

"Go to hell!" he exclaimed.

"I'll take that as a no. Any las-" Bang. Something exploded outside. I forgot all about the guy and ran to my window. The first thing I saw was someone running out of our shed, with someone else chasing them, I realized that the first person who ran out was Lara. I heard a laugh from behind me and turned to see the guy up against the wall.

"Your friend out there isn't going to be around for much longer with Dimitri going after her, she'll end up just like your brother," he only just managed to get out because he was to busy laughing.

"I would shut up if I were you, coz if you don't, you won't be around for much…" Time slowed down and everything seemed to piece together. I finally realized who this guy was, he was the one that killed Zach and I six years ago, he was the one who had cut the brakes so we couldn't use them.

Time sped up again.

"You, it was you, you were at the club that night" I whispered.

"Of course it was me." He knew, I knew that it was him who killed me all those years ago. I took one last look at him, and then I shot him in the knee cap. He dropped to the ground, again, then I jump out the window and went after Lara. A million things were going through my mind as I ran. I couldn't quite get a hold on the guy that was chasing Lara, what did the guy say his name was…Dimitri, that was it.

Wait where did he go, I was to busy concentrating on other things I didn't even realise that Dimitri had gone back to the house, but now I have another problem…I couldn't find Lara.

Lara, where are you? I thought to her.

Look up, she thought back. I looked up and there she was up the top of the tree I was standing under.

"Lara what are you doing up there?" I asked.

"Hiding." Was all she said.

"Well, you can come down, he's gone," I said.

"No he's not, he's going to come back, he told me," she said.

"Lara he went back to the house, he's not coming back," I said.

"We heard the gun shot Skye, he told me he was coming back to kill me, he said he was coming back right after he killed you," she whispered.

Lara was right, again, I could hear footsteps come towards us. They were hitting the ground to hard to be human, that can only mean one thing…Vampire. I took one glance around the forest to make sure I couldn't see the owner of the footsteps. Nope. I jumped up into the tree with Lara. I put her behind me so she was up against the tree trunk, got in a comfortable position and waited. A few moments later I saw him, he came out from behind a tree and just stood there with his eyes closed and listened.

Lara obviously didn't hear him approach because she was moving and that caught his attention. His eyes flew open, his head whipped up and he looked me straight in the eye.

You should really find a better hiding spot, he thought to me.

How do you know I'm a mind reader? I thought back.

I know a lot about you Skye Regan, but let's not spend our time telling your life's story.

Good idea…lets spend it doing this instead, I thought as I jumped out of the tree and straight into him. I heard Lara let out a little scream when I jumped.

"Skye stop it!" Lara shouted, even though I didn't turn around I could tell by her voice that she was smiling and laughing.

"Why, I'm having too much fun at the moment," I replied.

A split second and that's all it take's, I reminded myself. I've reminded myself that my whole life and yet sometimes I still get cocky. That was all he needed, for me to be distracted for a split second, that was his opening, when I was talking to Lara, and he took it. He dodged my kick, spun around and kicked me straight into a tree. I felt something wet and warm run down the side of my head. It took me a few seconds to gather myself again and when I did he went in for another hit. He got me good in the ribs and it hurt a lot. I was just about to drop to the ground but he grabbed onto my hair and pulled me up so I was standing. He had me pinned against the tree and I couldn't move, his fangs are only inches from my neck. Okay plane A didn't work, time for plane B. Mind control. I focussed real hard on his mind as I spoke.

"You don't want to do that," I said. He hesitated a moment.

"What…do…you mean?"

"I mean, you know you don't want to kill me. It's written all over your face and I can sense it in your mind," I said.

"No! Don't do that to me," he yelled trying to snap out of my control.

"You don't want to kill me or Lara. You want to let me go and you want to help us," I said. With that said he slowly let go of my hair and took a step back.

"Lara you can come down now," I said.

"Are you sure?" she asked. I turned and looked up at her.

"Positive." Once Lara was on the ground I turned all my focus back to Dimitri.

"Now, you're going to tell us what you're doing here," I said. He hesitated for a bit and then he answered.

"We were sent to-" Bang. Both mine and Lara's screams rang out through the woods. Lara screamed out of fear, me…I screamed because of the pain that shot through my body. I looked down at my shoulder and there was a bullet hole with blood running down my shirt. Bang. Another shot went off and it got me just below the knee-cap. I lost control of Dimitri when the first shot went off and now he had his hands around my neck and me back against the tree.

"Lara run!" I screamed at her when she just stood there. She didn't listen to me when I spoke the first time but something woke up inside her when I spoke again.

"Lara get the hell out of here now!" She was off; she ran and didn't stop to look back. Dimitri shoved me against the tree and let me go.

"Shut up and don't move," he snapped.

"I think you and i both know I'm not going anywhere anytime soon," I said.

"Dimitri go after the other girl, I'll handle this one," said the other guy when he reached us.

"No, we got what we wanted. The boss only said to get the Regan girl, he didn't say anything about the other one," hissed Dimitri. He obviously didn't like to be told what to do. I was starting to get a little light headed and my vision was going blurry. I was losing too much blood.

"Dimitri look," he said nodding to me. Dimitri turned his focus back to me and noticed I was losing way to much blood. I was just about to fall over when Dimitri grabbed me and put my arm around his shoulders to support me.

"If we don't get her out of here and back to the house she's not going to make it." I could only just make out Dimitri's words. My head was spinning and my whole body hurt. We started to walk, I finally gave into the darkness and I felt nothing.
