"Aunty, I need to leave." I said, already holding my bag that I had packed, with a change of clothes, my sleeping bag, all of my money, and my teddy bear. (Don't tell anyone I just said that!)

"Alright sweetie, if that's what you need to do then go. But remember that I'll be here." My aunt was very relaxed and believed that anything I thought I needed to do, I could do it. Apparently, even running away from home to kill soulless monsters.

"Goodbye then." I said and marched out the door. Inside my head, I let out a sigh of relief. I thought leaving would be one of the hardest parts of this whole adventure. I knew she expected me to come back in a day, but I let her believe that so she wouldn't get worried right away.

I wasn't sure quite where I was headed, but I figured I would start by going to the Olympic National Park. I don't quite know what my logic was, but I guess vampires would be likely to live in not very populated, rainy areas and that was one of the closest ones. Also, a lot of tourists came to visit and would go hiking in the deep woods, and what better place to disappear, right? I took my bike out of the garage and started riding. I took the ferry across from Seattle and then I would take a round a bout route to the small town of Forks, Washington, where I would begin my search.

I left pretty early in the morning when I ran away, (I'm just going to call it that in case someone overhears me thinking out loud, so no one blames my aunt if I turn up dead,) so I arrived at my destination around 10 that night. I was exhausted from all that riding, so I used a little more of my money to check in to a little cheap motel.

The next day, I spent resting and also getting the lay of the town. Fortunately for me, it was a sunny day out, so I would have spotted any vampires from a mile away. Unfortunately, I didn't. And to be perfectly honest with you, I don't know what I would have done if I had. Like I mentioned before, you need superhuman strength to get rid of a vampire, or maybe a chainsaw… Anyway, I had neither of those things, and I needed to figure out how to get them.

Actually, I knew how to get superhuman strength. But it was something I didn't want to think about. I knew in my heart that it would be the only way to get what I wanted, but… The only way I could think of would be to turn into a vampire myself, and I definitely didn't want that. It was my last resort, but it was also my only resort. I wouldn't know any other way for a painfully ordinary girl from Seattle to become an epic vampire slayer. Anyway, if I started killing vampires, my life span probably wouldn't be so healthy. So I wouldn't have to worry about the immortality part. But the blood drinking, killing machine part, that bothered me.

What I really needed was another way. But I doubted I would get it.

That afternoon, it got overcast again. And as the sunshine went away, so did my good mood. I had been so elated that I had made it to Forks, that the bigger problems hadn't bothered me. By that afternoon, the reality of my situation set in. I only had enough money for maybe two more nights at that motel, and that didn't include meals. And I had no idea what I would do with a vampire if I could even find one, which wasn't really likely. So, by the time it started to rain again, I found myself lost, deep in the woods, depressed, and on top of all that, cold and wet. I was losing steam fast, and unless I found a vampire quickly, I was ready to go home tomorrow.

Sorry about the short chapters, but I want to post them as quickly as I can. Does anybody like this so far?
