Prologue 4

“Times running out hurry Callie, you must hurry!” The voices there were coming from nowhere were whispering to me in desperate tones. It frightened me to not know why I was running to my death but something inside me told me to do what the mysterious voices said. I ran faster across the meadows, adrenalin pulsing through me, I could feel my heart beat faster. I didn’t know how I knew it but I knew that something horrible was going to happen with or with out me there. 5

Chapter one6

May 16 2007, Penmar Maryland. 7

The sun beats down and the cool spring breeze blows west ward hitting soothingly on my face. I pause at the edge of the cliff and close my eyes for a moment thinking of all these things happening at once. My mothers death, my step fathers wedding, the awakening of my half sister, me falling for my best friend of 16 years, and my friends who are becoming specials of my clan. 8

I grit my teeth at the thought of Mercedes and her stupid clique specializing my closets friends. 9

I remembered it as if it were yesterday- I was in the lunch line with my friend Terry talking about cars and how much he wanted a Porch when I noticed a little mark on his neck it was purple and bruised fresh looking and the word hickey popped in my head. I smiled as I thought finally Terry and Penelope are going out. But something told me to not dismiss this as a hickey so I looked closer at it but still nothing hit me. 10

“So Callie how was your week end?” Terry said interrupting my thoughts. 11

“Oh it was okay- I guess if you call your step parents ganging up on you every time you turn around.” I tried to make it sound humorous but Terry frowned for a moment but then dismissed my statement as we got to the table.12

“So Terry how was your week end?” I asked hesitantly. He looked around as if what he was about to say was top secret, suddenly interested I moved closer. 13

“Okay well you know Portia Santos?” He asked. 14

I cocked and eyebrow in suspicion and nodded yes. 15

“Okay well I was over at the Eagles club Saturday night when I bumped into her dancing, and we started talking and dancing for a while and then out of the blue she asked me if I wanted to go back in the private Vip room. Stunned I blurted out yes and she led me back to the darkened room. When I got in the room Mercedes shoved me onto this chair and straddled me and started kissing me. I was so shocked but I didn’t protest I went with the flow. Then she went down and started kissing my neck and I was getting into it when all of a sudden I felt two little stabbing pains and this floating sensation on my neck.” 16

Suddenly I understood and gasped. That was no hickey; it was the special mark! The special mark was when a vampire claimed a person to be a donor. I suddenly shot up out of my seat causing the table to jump and ran out of the cafeteria in the hallway as i passed Bailey, Conner, Stella, Peace, Tyran, Gavin and Mercedes standing in a group by the water fountain and shoved open the door and darted across the street to smoking corner. I scanned the corner and saw Portia feeding on some boy. “Portia!” I roared “Who the hell gave you the right to suck on my friend’s neck making him your donor?” I startled her causing her to let go of the boy her head whipped up to see me stand in front of her. She hissed at me her eyes red with thirst for blood. My hand suddenly sized Portia by the neck and I threw her up against the wall lifting her 4 inches off the ground. “You embrace Terry and I swear I will kill you.” I promised with deadly venom in my voice making her shudder underneath my hold on her. Once I saw the fear in her eyes I released her letting her fall to the ground coughing I turned around and walked away quickly as i heard Mercedes, and her clique running to Portia, I was already up the street when they reached her, Mercedes shot me a cold glance and I knew that I was going to pay for this. 17

A thunder storm rolling in the sky brought me back from the flash back. I felt a single rain drop fall on my skin and roll off falling to the ground. I looked up and remembered how before my mom died me and her always stayed outside and played in the rain. “I miss you mom.” I whispered as tears welled my eyes. 18

But I batted them away and reached in my pocket and pulled out my blade glancing once at the sky and began to chant the vampire ceremony song in Latin Raising the blade up in air pointed to the sky, I close my eyes summoning all my powers to begin the hunt. A stick cracking interrupts my spell binding. I turn slowly to see a huge buck watching my every move cautiously, I grin hungrily at him and all that came across my mind was “mmm time to eat”. The buck bolts off into the forest; I let out a wild loud laugh that wasn’t mine any more- it was the beast inside me awaking. I take off after it, getting the thrill of the chase. Like a bolt of lighting I was suddenly on its tail. I reached in my pocket and pulled the blade out slowly, I raised my arm high and with the flick of my wrist I flung the blade making as hard as I could. The blade stuck the buck in the back paralyzing it “You give a good chase, but I’m afraid your time is up my dear friend.” I said in an evilly sweet tone and knelt down beside it. I touched its forehead gently and chanted a peace song in Indian “Lo hima dio, prima see a dieo, prima forkay she ha doushio.” I stopped singing and looked at the deer; it was in a trance, its whole body numb, I know he wouldn’t be able to feel a thing now that he’s under a trance. I leaned forward smelling its fear, its fear was so strong and tasty smelling, leaning my head back I moaned as my fangs came out, to suppress the pain I sank my teeth into the buck.19
