Jayde awoke in a dark, musty, what she guessed was a basement. She coughed as she sat up, making dust fly all around her. She waved her hands to rid the suffocation of the dust and looked around more.
There was nothing much in the room. She was sitting on an old bed, the bed frame made of weak steel, the mattress a sickly gray-brown.
She stood up and let out a shriek as a cockroach scooted by.
Suddenly the door whipped open and a handsome, lean boy walked through the door, carrying a tray of food. Jayde's stomach growled and a sharp pain shot through her, reminding her of how hungry she was.
"W-Who are you?" Jayde demanded but her voice came out raspy due to misuse.
"Kelton," the boy set down the plate on the rickety-looking, wooden table.
"Where am I? What did you do to me?" Jayde backed away.
Kelton handed her the glass of crimson liquid that was once on the tray. Her senses focused intently on it, but she tried her hardest to rip her stare away, back onto Jasper.
"Your the boy who Damien mentioned!" Jayde screeched and flew back with such speed and force, she became winded and there was a sudden crack in the concrete walls of the basement.
"Yes, probably."
"What did you do to Kendyl!?" Jayde demanded coldly, ignoring the crack she had made in the wall.
"Settle down, Kendyl is just fine," Kelton trained his eyes on her and saw down on the bed, flicking the cockroach away.
Just than the urge of whatever the ruby liquid, overcame her. She lunged for it and began drinking it until she was finished.
Jayde wiped her mouth with her back of her hand and licked her lips. Whatever it was, was very good and she wanted more.
"What was that?" Jayde gasped.
"Blood," Kelton said as if it was natural.
"What do you mean blood?"
"I mean, blood. The stuff that runs through the veins of mortals. Animals, and humans."
Jayde sat down on the floor. Obviously confused.
Kelton let out a long sigh. "You don't get it... do you?"
"Clearly, I don't!" Jayde hissed.
Kelton rolled his eyes. He shouldn't have left Riley alone. It was his fault and he shouldn't blame this girl, she didn't even have the slightest idea on what he was.
What she was.
"You are... a vampire.." Kelton finally said.
"What? Are you kidding me?" Jayde let out a laugh.
"No, I'm not. That stuff you drank. It was blood," He than turned his attention to the concrete wall and nodded towards it. Jayde turned around and looked at it. A long crack ran down where she had hit it. "That was from you."
"No... it's not true..." Jayde shut her eyes and kept them tight but as hard as she tried to get away she knew he was right.
Her life would never be the same.

Chapter 4
Jayde answered her phone, confused as why Kendyl was calling her and it hadn't even been a half hour since she dropped her best friend off at the mysterious new guy's house.
He better not of hurt her! Jayde though angrily as she listened to Kendyl's explanation why she was calling. Jayde could tell she was trying hard not to cry.
"What do you mean he 'kicked you out'?" Jayde asked as Kendyl explained more. He said he had 'plans to go out with Jasper'.
"Who the hell is Jasper?" Jayde hissed angrily. "Why would he make plans with you and than say he has other plans with someone else?" I don't know! Was Kendyl's reply. Just, please hurry, I'll start to walk, I don't want to be anywhere near this place right now!
"Okay," Jayde said and hung up.
Jayde hurried outside, remembering her jacket in time as it began to rain. She cursed as she got in her jeep. She had to hurry, Kendyl was walking home and she didn't have a jacket.
She swerved around the corners, keeping the speed limit but her hands gripped the steering wheel with agitation.
As she turned the corner she spotted Kendyl walking, holding her binder close. She was dripping wet, her white paints had mud splatters from the puddles and her blue shirt seemed black, as it was drenched with the rain water.
She pulled over and opened the door. As Kendyl climbed in Jayde took off her sweater and handed it to her.
"Thanks," Kendyl said as she wrapped Jayde's warm jacket around herself. She knew Jayde didn't care that she was getting her car wet, she only cared that she was safe.
"You can sleepover if you want," Jayde suggested.
"No, I-I think I-I'm just going to t-take a warm s-shower and than s-s-sleep," Kendyl managed to stutter out.
Jayde scrunched her eyebrows together. A look she always made when she was worried.
"Oh alright, I'll drop you off at your house. Call me when your done your shower, okay?" Jayde asked as she continued driving.
"Okay."
The rest of the drive home was silent beside the squeak of the wiper blades as the rain was wiped away.
As Jayde pulled into the driveway of Kendyl's house, Kendyl got out silently, only muttering a "Good-bye and thank you," when she took of Jayde's sweater and handed it to her.
"Keep it," Jayde laughed lightly and waved good bye to her best friend as she pulled out of the driveway and onto the road.
When Jayde arrived home her front door was unlocked.
I swear I locked it! She thought as she walked in cautiously and scanned the room. It looked okay.
She walked deeper into her house until she reached the kitchen.
Everything seemed in place.
Jayde turned around to check up stairs but a shadow in the corner of her eye made her pause. She whipped around so she faced her dining room and spotted the stunning figure of a brunette with blonde highlights. "How'd you get in hear?" Jayde demanded, her voice strong but her eyes showing her fear.
"Oh silly, Jayde. I'm surprised it isn't obvious," the girl's voice was sweet as she walked forward. Suddenly the moonlight hit the girl and the light reflected off of the girl's open mouth showing a set of fangs.
The girl's eyes darkened as she lunged forward, for Jayde's neck. Meeting success as she felt her fangs puncture flesh.
The only thing Jayde remembered was a sharp pain as she blacked out.
He better not of hurt her! Jayde though angrily as she listened to Kendyl's explanation why she was calling. Jayde could tell she was trying hard not to cry.
"What do you mean he 'kicked you out'?" Jayde asked as Kendyl explained more. He said he had 'plans to go out with Jasper'.

Chapter 3
The bell rang and Kendyl leaped happily out of her chair, hopefully this was the last class with Damien. She didn't even want to be his partner, and after the glare from Riley she the statement was definatly true. Jayde stood up and grabbed her binder. "Let's go to lunch." She said and Kendyl nodded.
"I want to go to my locker first," She lifted the socials textbook that would eventually become a nuissance holding it.
Jayde agreed and they walked to their locker, turning the dial three times they stuffed everything in their locker besides their purse. "Where do you want to eat?" Kendyl asked.
Jayde thought for a moment, "Let's go to the cafeteria today."
"Okay." Kendyl said and lifted her purse and looked inside, she pulled out her wallet and checked how much money she had. Fifty dollars, that'd would definatly be enough for the food in the cafeteria.
Jayde pulled her arm and she dropped her wallet in her purse and began to walk with her to the cafeteria. When she walked in she spotted Damien sitting with Riley and another girl, a gorgeous girl with long, flowing blonde hair and green eyes. Envy hit Kendyl like a brick. She turned around to leave but Jayde rolled her eyes and pulled her back into the cafeteria. "C'mon Ken, ignore them." She whispered and sat at their regular table.
Unfortunatly it was located infront of the table Damien and the two girls. Great, now he has another girl mooning over him... Kendyl sighed and took out her money, Jayde quickly snatched it and headed to the cafeteria line. "What do you want, Ken?" She called over her shoulder.
Kendyl shrugged, "Surprise me." As she fiddled with her hair.
Once she looked up she saw the blonde girl and Riley leave. She than was surprised to see Damien as he moved to Jayde's empty seat and swung it around to face her. His forest green eyes glinting and his smile was a smug grin.
"H-hi," Kendyl stuttered, she cursed herself and felt her cheeks growing hot once again.
"Hey," Damien smiled, his voice calm and cool. Kendyl knew it was wrong to fall for a guy that she just met and knew nothing about but she couldn't help herself. His crooked smiled made her heart skip a beat and his glowing eyes seemed to see right to her soul.
She smiled and looked down, her cheeks still red.
"You're bruise is going away." Damien remarked, again she totally forgot the swift morning and her face hitting the car window, she rubbed it, "I guess it is." She looked down and fumbled with her purse. She looked up to see Jayde grinning and giving her a thumbs up. Damien looked her way and Jayde swiftly turned away, giggling quietly to herself while Kendyl blushed harder.
"What're you doing here?" She asked quietly.
"What? I can't talk to my project partner?" He chuckled lightly.
"Oh yeah, I guess we are partners, but I thought you'd be paired up with that girl." She almost said bitterly.
"The blonde? That's my sister, Sophia." He looked at the where his sister had left.
"No, not her." Kendyl almost breathed out with relief, she'd never be able to compete with her. "I mean your girlfriend."
"Riley? She's not my girlfriend. And thank God we aren't partners, she's clingy." Damien laughed.
Kendyl looked up and smiled. "Oh." Than she realized something, the project was due next Monday and she didn't know how she'd get it finished on time. "What're we going to do about the project?" She asked.
Damien thought for a moment and than asked, "Do you have a pen and a piece of paper?"
Kendyl nodded and pulled out her pen and paper from her purse. She handed it to him and he scribbled on it, he than handed her it back, "That's my address, come to my house tonight and we can start on it." He smiled once more and left. She watched him until he was outside of the cafeteria.
"What did her give you?" Jayde sat down with a trey of random food. A small bag of pretzels, two Milk2Go's, yogurt, and fruit.
"His address. So we could start on the project tonight." Kendyl passed it to her and smiled.
"Cute!" Jayde giggled and gave it back to Kendyl who placed it in her pocket. "Do you need a ride there? I can drive you."
Kendyl nodded. "Please."
Once the two girls finished eating they headed to their gym class. It was weird, not always did friends get in the same classes but Jayde and Kendyl did.
Gym went by quick, they played a game of soccer and Kendyl was in net while Jayde was forward. Their team one seven to three. Kendyl quickly changed and waited for Jayde before they went to thier English class.
By the end of the day all Kendyl could think about was tonight. At the last five minutes of class time seemed to freeze, it seemed like forever until the last bell rang. Jayde raced out with Kendyl and headed to her car. Kendyl hoped in the passenger side and they drove to Kendyl's house. "What time are you going to his house?" Jayde asked.
Kendyl shrugged, "Maybe around five thirty-ish. I'm not sure."
When they arrived at Kendyl's house Jayde waved and drove to her house, leaving Kendyl to fiddle with her keys and unlock her door. She threw her purse on her couch and placed her binder on the living room coffee table. She went into her kitchen and pulled out an apple. She always had a snack after school. Kendyl looked at the clock, 3:30pm. She had two hours before she'd call Jayde for a ride to Damien's house. She could feel butterflies flutter nervously in her stomache as she changed into her white skinny jeans and her silver sequin top. She found her black flats and put them on. Kendyl didn't realize how much time she took getting ready. Five minutes she'd have to arrive at Damien's house. She ran to her phone and called Jayde. She listened quietly as the phone rang three times before Jayde's voice could be heard. Hello?
"Hey, Jayde, it's me. My 'rents aren't home yet, I'll send my mom a text and tell her I went out. Can you drive me now?"
Sure! Jayde said and there was a click as Jayde hung up.
Kendyl pulled out her phone and texted her mom. "I will be out for awhile, going to work on a socials project. I'll be home soon." and with an, okay from her mom Kendyl picked up her purse and binder. She waited outside for Jayde.
When Jayde arrived she climbed in and set the GPS for 3725 Haltrod Dr. They soon arrived at a wood-lined house with quite a few windows. She could see the white interior through the window. She never thought that Damien could be rich. Kendyl jumped out and waved good-bye to Jayde as her best friend reluctantly drove off.
She wrong the doorbell and waited a few heartbeats before Damien's sister opened the door. She was picture perfect upclose. She smiled warmly, "Hello. You're Kendyl right? Damien's talked about you a lot today." She giggled. "I'm his sister Sophia."
"Hi," Kendyl smiled.
"Come in," Sophia gestured for Kendyl to walk in. Kendyl took off her shoes and looked around. The house was certainly beautiful.
"We don't live with our parents." Sophia said as Damien walked down the stairs. His eyes lit up when he saw Kendyl, "Hey," He grinned as he walked down the stairs.
"Were going to work on our socials project." Damien said and waved his hand for Kendyl to follow him. He climbed the stairs and waited for Kendyl as she waved to Sophia and walked up the stairs. He than turned and walked into his room. It was beautiful. Part of the roof was lined with windows and she could see three guitars leaning on the wall. He kindly took her binder from her and placed it on the table and sat on the couch. She sat beside him and he turned the tv on to the news. She opened her binder. "What were you thinking of for the project?" She asked as she flipped through her social studies section.
Damien thought for a moment. "Maybe a poster about one of the Kings? Could be about James I." He suggested.
"That's what I thought too." Kendyl looked up to watch the news. She hadn't watched it in awhile. Her mother usually had it on in the morning but her mother had been leaving early so it was never on when she woke up.
She listened quietly to the report and asked if Damien could turn it up. He searched for the remote and turned the volume to 27.
There's been four murders in the last two weeks. Reports say that their is a serial killer loose. Don't trust any strangers and don't talk to anyone you don't know. The tv reporter said. Damien's eyes widened but he didn't say anything as the reporter went on.
Reports have also say that it could be an animal and it must be hunted and killed. "Oh no." Kendyl said as she listened.
If you have information on the killings call 1-800-CRIME.
Damien quickly turned it off and changed the subject, "Er, I think you have to go." He didn't look at her. "I forgot I had plans with Sophia and Kelton. I'll call you later." He said as he handed her her binder and ushered her out. Kendyl was surprised when told her to hurry up and directed her towards the door. Sophia looked up from where she had been watching a movie in the living room and looked at Damien, confusion filling her green gaze. He shut the door on Kendyl and as she glanced in the window she could see the two siblings talking, Damien arguing with her. Kendyl's stomache dropped and she felt like crying when she phoned Jayde for a ride home.
"I want to go to my locker first," She lifted the socials textbook that would eventually become a nuissance holding it.
