72 Hours Later
Sarah woke up in a hospital bed, having no idea where she was. As she looked around the room, she realized that she was in an office. 'Why would a hospital bed be in an office?' she wondered, confusion, clear in her mind. A quiet laugh was heard from behind her. She jumped out of the bed and came face to face with the man who had apparently read her mind. Before she had time to wonder if mind reading was actually possible, an icy-hot fire attacked her throat.
Before the man could do anything to stop her, Sarah dove out the open window behind him.
As soon as she touched the ground, she took off. 'This is the fastest I've ever run before,' she thought, 'in fact, it's as if all of my abilities and senses are heightened as well.' Sarah continued running until she found herself at the base of a tree with otherworldly carving etched into it. She ran her fingertips along the bark until she felt a surge of power come from within the tree, then, time stopped. She looked cautiously around the frozen space. Suddenly, out of the shadows, emerged a huge white wolf, with blood red markings on her forehead. "Hello, Sarah," said the she-wolf, "my name is Angel." Sarah just stood there, utterly speechless, as Angel began transforming into a human. She wore glistening white robes and a gleaming silver tiara. Her long white-blond hair with blood red tips blew freely around her, even though there was no breeze, nor wind. "I am your guardian, Sarah. I was sent here by your ancestors to protect and watch over you. I have been doing this all your life. But, by being turned, you have unlocked the great prophecy. Sarah, you are both vampire ad wolf. Blood runs through your veins although your heart does not beat. You have the ability to control the elements and have the possibility of being used as the ultimate weapon. But, Sarah, the question for you is: what path will you choose? Destruction or construction? Heaven or hell? Good or evil?" With those final words, Angel began to glow a blinding white light as the winds picked up and time started once more.
Sarah started running again. Somehow, she felt as if she knew both everything ad nothing at the same time. She jumped high into a tree, than realized that she was being pursued. She climbed even higher before daring to look down at her pursuers. There were two, a thin blond male with wild, unkempt hair, and another male, a very muscular one with an enormous grin plastered to his face. The blond looked up and stared into her eyes with his gorgeous golden ones. Sarah was so caught up in the gaze that she didn't notice the near-silent footsteps of someone approaching her. The blond smirked and someone grabbed her from behind. "Gotcha," the blond whispered in her ear seconds later. The blond then proceeded to pick her up and throw her over her shoulder.
Soon, the blond and Sarah had arrived in a small dark room, where he put her down gently on the hardwood floor. "Hello, Sarah, my name's Jasper," the blond said in a handsome southern drawl. 'She is really beautiful, however, I don't understand why I cannot feel her emotions.' Sarah became very confused as to where the voice had come from. She knew it was Jasper's voice, but he hadn't opened his mouth to say anything. 'I wonder why she keeps looking at me so confusedly.' 'Mind reading,' she thought. "I can read people's minds," she blurted out. She threw her hands up in the air in pure joy. But, what she expected least came next. Venom coated ice shards materialized in front of her open hands and flew up towards the ceiling. Within seconds, there were six other vampires in the room with her and Jasper, all curious as to what had just happened. From the ceiling, seeped the delectable scent that caused the icy-hot flame to attack her throat once more. Sarah placed her hand on the wall closest to her and the wall quickly decomposed and the scent became even stronger. She, then, jumped out of the hole and landed silently on the grass lawn below. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, until she saw a guy who went to her school, tanning on the ground in the middle of the open field she had just stumbled upon. His name was Josh. He was pretty attractive for a human, but Sarah didn't want him for his looks. She wanted his blood. Before she could take even one step in his general direction, Sarah had a vision.
She saw her own blood red eyes turning an icy blue-silver. Across from her stood the outline of a vampire with dazzling gold eyes and a stunning smile. Then the figure spoke, "Sarah, you know you don't want his blood, deep down you know. Believe in yourself as much as I do." Then, both the figure and the vision faded away.
When Sarah snapped out of her trance, it was too late. Sarah was out in the open field in broad daylight, and Josh had spotted her. "Sarah?" he questioned. She froze; she didn't know what to do. Then she did the only thing that came to her frazzled mind: she ran.
Sarah ran first through the allies, then atop the rooftops. It was dark now, and the sky was filled with clouds. She was closing in on the clock tower when she came to a halt in front of a glimmering patch of moonlight. She stared, transfixed, into the light. Then, her body started moving of its own accord, into the translucent, white patch. Then, she started to transform. She felt her skin rip and her bones break and rebuild themselves. Once the transformation stopped, she looked down at herself and saw that midnight black fur now covered her skin where her hand should have been. Instead of hands and feet she discovered that she now had paws and claws. Then, she realized that she was being watched. Sarah spun around only to find that no one was there. She, then, jumped of the roof and landed silently on the cobblestone ground below. She knew that she was still being watched, so she took off down the street, running at top speed. Soon, Sarah arrived in Italy. She transformed back into a vampire and turned around to face her opponent Sarah was met with blood red eyes, shaded under a dark hooded cloak.
Then, she felt nothing as her body, along with all of her senses, went completely and totally numb.
