| Greetings, fair traveler. I see you have come far to hear this tale of enchantment, deceit, and nearly forbidden love. I assure you, you will not be displeased with the story that will soon unfold. The girl whos story you will soon relive was nothing more then a simple city girl trying to make her mark in the world, as well as finish high school. Her name was Elizabeth. She was one full of a unique, mysterious beauty. Few friends did she hold, but hold dear to them did she. 17 years of age, Elizabeth often volunteered at the local animal shelter as well as the hospital from time to time. She, nearly a lifetime ago, lived with her poor grandmother after her parents died in a tragic accident when she was eight. Life had never been the same for her since then. Her best friend was one, Courtney Krim, a gymnast and lover of sun flowers. Now that you know a bit about Elizabeth, are you prepared to step into her life? I should hope so, because here we go! You feel the warm, spring air caress your lips as you breathe in the morning breeze. Backpack placed sturdily upon your back you walk to your high school praying for a better day today then the one before. Courtney was to meet you after school and you were to go to the movies. You hadnt been there in ages. Nearly friendless as you were, you kept yourself plenty busy to make up for it. Ever since your parents death you had proceeded to help the world around you. As you approach your school and view the large array of flowers planted out front you smile to yourself, thinking back to the day a month ago that you and Courtney had single-handedly planted literally thousands of flowers. It had been hard work, but all you had to do was glance at the patch of flowers to make it all seem worth while. Even if no one else enjoyed them, you most certainly did! "Elizabeth!" You hear a familiar voice yell as you enter the school. It's Courtney, happy as ever to see you. "Hey, honey, whats up?" Courtney asks you giving you a big hug. "Not much, you?" You reply returning the hug. Courtney shrugs her shoulders in reply, indicating not much was happening with her either. "Still wanna go to the movies?" You ask. "Of course! Like I would turn down the chance to go to the movies." Courtney replies laughing. You shake your head slightly at her enthusiasim that yet still amazes you. The school day drags on slightly, but having Courtney with you, as always, makes it more fun. When school ends you announce to Courtney that you are going to run home before you attend the movies so that you can change. The movie isn't until five, so you figure you've got time. Courtney agrees and decides to go home and change as well. Your school uniforms aren't exactly your ideas of fun. On your way home you start to feel a little sick in your stomach like something is wrong. You stop walking for a minute trying to calm yourself. You feel like someone is there, and that they are hurt. You don't know how, but you've always been able to sense when something is seriously wrong with someone. You always just considered it your woman's ituition. You slowly continue walking, your eyes towards the ground. Suddenly you stop again as your eyes focus upon something just in front of your feet. A small kitten, nearly the size of your hand is lying hurt on the sidewalk. Feeling sorry for the poor little guy, you bend down and cradle him in your arms. You notice that his leg looks misplaced as if it were broken. You stroke his fur gently, hearing him pur slightly at your gentle touch. You pick up your things in one hand and with the other carry the little kitten. You side track from your orriginal path home and decide to head towards the nearest vet. You know a girl there and are hoping that she will take a look at him for free, knowing full well that neither you, nor you grandmother, has the money to pay for the vet bill. You walk in the small building the smell of pet dandruff and medicine filling the air. You crinkle your nose slightly at the smell. You never did care for the smell of sick creatures, it always made you depressed at the thought. You find Lisa, the vet in training, that you know and show her the little kitten. She has short blonde hair and perky blue eyes. You note that she looks rather professional in her lab coat with a pen haning out of the jacket pocket. She takes the kitten in her hands and examines it carefully. "Your right, I do believe she's got a broken leg." Lisa announces after a couple minutes. "I don't have any patients for at least an hour, I'll take a look for you." "Thank you so much, Lisa, I owe you one." You respond greatfully. "You bet you do!" Lisa assures you, winking as she take the kitten into an empty examination room. "Well, it's not too bad. No double or triple fractures which is good. It should be able to heal within a month or two time frame. I'll set it and wrap it up for you, but you'll have to keep an eye on her so she doesn't jump on anything and hurt it worse." Lisa explains after several minutes of examination and x-rays. "That's good. And it's a she?" You inquire. "Geez, Liz, you don't even know your own animals gender?" Lisa questions, almost serious. "I just found the little guy on my way home from school." You reply in your own defense. "Oh." Is all Lisa says in response. Lisa preforms the operations needed, then gives you back the kitten telling you the appoinment was on the house. You hug her and thank her profusely. She simply waves it away saying you owe her lunch. When you get home your grandmother is gone. She works at walmart on the weekdays so she can support you and the house. You place the kitten in a small kennel with a towel, food, and water. You then scurry to change your clothes, realizing it's fifteen minutes past four. You throw on a pair of comfortable jeans and a T-shirt that says, 'Let me just drop everything and work on your problem'. You grab your army style purse and slinging it over your shoulder head out the door. It was times like these that you really wish you had a car. You had your license, but with your grandmother's limited income a car was out of the question. You had been working at Starbucks for the past two months as a part time job, but it would be months before you had enough to buy a simple used car. You ran the whole way to the movie theater, which was, to your thankfullness, no more then two miles away from your home. You met Courtney outside the theater, panting a hello to her as you put your hands on your knees trying to catch your breath. "What vampire is chasing you?" Courtney asks you jokingly. You smile slightly before standing up straight, having almost re-caught your breath. "I already got the tickets, so we can go on in." Courtney announces. You take the ticket she hands you only to immidietly after give it to the ticket boy. The movie you and Courtney saw as a remake of the famous 'Dracula'. You found the movie ammusingly corny, and couldn't help but laugh during the seriou scenes, something Courtney always got mad at you for. As you and Courtney exit the movie, you suddenly have to go to the bathroom. "Courtney I'm going to use the restroom, I'll be right back." You tell her. "Kay." She replies. "I'll be trying my luck with that hotty over there." Courtney tells you, getting a flirtatious fire in her eyes. You look to where she briefly pointed to see a tall young man, probably only a couple years older then yourself, with a leather jacket, sandy blonde hair and brown eyes. He has three ring wholes on his left ear which has three small hoops (O.O) on it. He is wearing a short chain necklace and you can't help but think that he truly is one of the handsomest guys you have ever seen. "Good luck." You tell Courtney as you pat her on the shoulder, silently wishing that you had the bravery to approach guys like she did. After you leave the bathroom you look around for Courtney but can not find her. She better not have gone home with that guy. You think miserably, not putting it past her. You walk outside the theater but can not spot her there either. You walk around the theater to a back alley way and, to your annoyance, find Courtney making out with the guy she had set her sights on. You roll your eyes and are about to break them up when you notice something peculiar. The guy is kissing her around the neck area and Courtney is just...standing there. Not saying 'oh baby' or anything like that just standing there, her eyes locked on the darkness in front of her. You quietly continue to walk towards the two when your eyes lock in on the boy. His lips are running over a small spot on the side of her neck. Suddenly, two fangs start to emerge from his upper teeth. Your eyes widen in horror at what is about to happen.

| Without thinking, you lunge at the boy hitting him as hard as you can over the head with your purse. It was at this moment you were incredibly greatful that you always carried a brick in your purse. It was a little trick Courtney had taught you. The man's fangs re-tracted as he stumbled sideaway. You were unsure if he was actually hurt or simply shocked. However you did not want to wait to find out. You start shaking Courtney rapidly, despertely trying to get her to snap out of her daze before the vampire recovered from the blow you had given him. Suddenly Courtney's eyes began to flutter as she looked as you horrified. "Run!" You scream at her pushing her towards the ally exit. Not bothering to ask why, Courtney does as you say. You follow closely behind her until suddenly you are jerked backwards to the ground. A heavey pressure positions itself on your chest making it hard for you to breathe. Your eyes focus in on the object and realize that it is the vampire! You are about to scream but when you open your mouth, no scream escapes your lips. "You mortals are so pathetic. Always screaming to get your way...literally." The man says rolling his eyes. "You, little bitch, just let my meal escape." He says slapping you squarely across the face. Your cheek burns like fire, though you dare not let a tear escape your eyes. "Go to hell!" You tell him quietly. Your voice somehow will not raise above a whisper. The vampire doesn't respond but simply stares at you. Your emerald green eyes to be exact. "Your actually quite pretty." The vampire says mostly to himself as he strokes a strand of hair away from your face. You shudder at his touch. The vampire's lips curve into a slight smile as an idea plunges into his mind. "I'll save you for later, I think." He tells you. "But, just so no one else gets to you first...." The vampire bends down and pulls away the part of your shirt that is covering your shoulder. He puts your lips to it, kissing it a few times before you feel a sharp pain there. You open your mouth and try to scream but like last time, nothing comes out. You feel the vampire's fangs withdraw but the horrible pain does not whither. "See you soon....Elizabeth." The vampire tells you before disappearing into the night. That's where I'm leaving it for now. Hope it was long enough, and hope you liked it please rate, and enjoy the pics below. ^_^  ^ Here's you with the kitty ^  ^ And here's Courtney ^ |
