Chapter 4
James
After I dropped off Thea's necklace at her house (and asked her to go out with me. And she said yes!) I went back home and looked out of my window. I could just see the edge of the woods: My hunting ground. I had to go every night to control my thirst. I didn't want to hurt anyone especially Thea. The first time I saw her in the town a couple of weeks ago I was overwhelmed with emotion, I had to see her again so I went to her graduation. After that I realised that she lived in the house next to mine so I suggested to my mother that we go over and introduce ourselves. She thought it was a great idea so we went over that evening and when Thea's eyes met mine and our hands touched I knew. I knew we were Soulmates and that we were destined to be together. Forever.
The grandfather clock in the front room chimed 6:00pm so I started my walk towards the woods. The streets were quiet with the exception of a few shoppers so I wasn't stopped. I walked deep into the woods silently as I didn't want to scare the animals away. A rabbit hopped out of a nearby bush. I picked it up and it started squealing so I soothed it to sleep and lifted the limp body to my mouth and started to drink. That's when I heard the gasp, I dropped the rabbit as my head spun around and I saw Thea's scared face staring back at me.
