Prologue

I had a normal life till he came to town. Once he came to town my life became a living hell. It all started the day of March 18, 2009. It was his first day and that's when everything in my life turned upside down. That wasn't the first time we met, it all started on the night of March 1, 2009 I heard some loud bangs coming from my next door neighbors. I got out of bed and snuck down stairs as quietly as I could and out the front door. I walked over to my neighbor's house to see that the front door was busted wide open. I walked inside to see my neighbor Hank on the floor with a gunshot to the chest. I covered my mouth trying to hold back the urge to scream. I heard some rustling coming from upstairs. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, then headed upstairs. I looked in the rooms in front of me till I came to the master bedroom. I could see that the door was open and I took a quick glance inside and what I saw was horrific. There on the bed was a man over my neighbor Shirley. He had a hand on the back of her neck and one around her waist. It looked like he was kissing her neck and her head slumped forward. He let her go, and that's when I saw two puncture wounds on her neck and the man with two sharp fangs coming from his mouth. There was a small trace of blood on his lips. I looked and saw that he was staring right at me. I quickly ran and went down stairs to the closet. I put my hand over my mouth so he couldn't hear my breathing. I could hear the loud footsteps of the man coming down the stairs. BOOM! BOOM! The footsteps sounded. I could hear when the man reached the main floor. My mind was racing on what this guy was because there was no way he was human. Then it hit me. I had read about creatures like him and they happened to be what I loved to read about. I whispered "Vampire," Then the man spoke "I can hear you sweetheart. I know your here, I can smell you." He sounded about sixteen, my age. His voice was smooth like silk. I tried to keep my breathing under control, trying to calm my already racing heart. I could hear the sound of his footsteps coming closer and closer towards me and then they stopped. I opened the door silently to just a crack. I could see him searching for me. Then he was gone. I let out of a sigh of relief and then he dropped down right in front of me. I screamed so loud, till he pulled me out of the closet and covered my mouth with my hand. He dragged me till he had me pressed up against the wall. He started to speak and said "You listen to me and you listen good because I am not going to repeat myself. You saw nothing okay and you are not going to tell anyone, you are going to say that you found them like this and the killer was already gone. I know you know what I am so I not going to kill you but next time I will take you with me, or wipe your memory, or I will kill you. Do you understand?" I nodded my head slowly and he let me go. I ran out the door and quickly got home and into my warm bed. I heard my phone buzz, I picked it up and it said unknown number. "Hello," I say with a sleepy tone. "Hello sweetheart, I see you. And I will be seeing you soon."
