Chapter 2-Sorry for the long wait- but, here it is!

My eyes fluttered open. I was laying on my bed inside my room. What had happened last night? I tried to remember, racking my brain for answers, but only found a hazy memory of what happened.

*Flashback*

Fear swept through me. Ethan had just told me my own fate. I would be bit by Jesse.

Then, time seemed to flash by quickly. Sort of like fast forwarding a video tape, you see the scenes but don't understand them.

I was now outside, walking back to my house. There was more of the fast forwarding, and it stopped again. Jesse was in front of me, teeth bared and ready to bite. A door opened down the street and my two best friends rushed out, Benny ahead of Ethan, both running down the sidewalk with stakes in their hands.

Jesse quickly bit me, and pain washed through my neck. My vision started to fade, but I saw Jesse get away and Benny coming over to me. My hearing deafened now, and I completely blacked out.

**End Of Flashback**

Realizing what I now was, I rubbed my neck. I could feel the two bite marks which were healing at an inhuman rate.

I took a breath, and that' when I felt the sting. My throat felt like it was being rubbed with sandpaper. I hopped off my bed and walked to get my sunglasses to go over to Benny's for some substitute blood. Sarah was always getting some from him and his Grandmother, so hopefully they had a few to spare.

As I walked over to my closet, I noticed a note taped to a black thermos on my dresser.

Kira-

I figured you'd need this.

-Benny

I plucked the note off the thermos and sniffed the air. A sweet scent floated into my nostrils, and I realized the mug had blood inside. I quickly opened the top and chugged it all down. The sting in my throat disappeared as it had never been there in the first place.

I continued over to my closet still, and put on my sunglasses. Although it was summer, I didn't have any sunscreen, so I guess that was something more to add to my list of vampire related problems.

As I walked down the stairs, I thought of something important. My parents. What were they going to think when they came back from their summer long vacation to find me pale and sick looking? Thoughts swarmed my head , but I shoved every single one of them away. I was going to have to deal with them when they returned. Right now, I had to see if Ethan has more clues about what happened and how to find Jesse.

I opened the front door to my house and walked outside. The sun stung a little bit, and if it weren't for my sunglasses, I probably would be blind. But I ignored it the best I could, and walked on to Ethan's house.

I was almost there when more wind flashed by.

Jesse!
