Christmas....
The favorite season of the year for almost everyone in Crispy Hallows.
The sweet aroma of cakes being baked and turkey filled the air, sweet sounds of Christmas songs coming out from different houses, children chattering and running around happily.
Everything was perfect....
Hailey thought as she placed the heart shaped cake on the kitchen counter to start decorating.
Soon the neighbors would start coming in for their own shares of Christmas cake and turkey.
This was how she loved it ... Peaceful.
Crispy Hallows was a very small village where everyone knew each other and were like family... They ate from each other's pots, do things together and they have a common routine
When their father drove up to this small cottage ten years ago, she and her twin sister had been disappointed to say the least because It was a far cry from the big mansion in New York that they grew up in.
It had taken them about two months to love the village, because of the quiet and how lovely all the neighbors were.
"Hailey..."
Hailey smiled and turned away from the icing she was mixing.
"Lily..."
She spread her arms wide and her twin sister walked gracefully into them.
"You look lovely" she commented and Lily twirled, showing off her beautiful green gown.
"As do u sis"
"Oh Lily please..I'm covered in flour and icing sugar" Hailey giggled
"You do look lovely no matter what you are covered in"
"You are a charmer Lily" Hailey replied, returning her sister's bright smile.
Lily was Hailey's best friend and closest companion. Maybe it was because of the fact that they were identical twins.
Though identical in appearance, they have very different personalities. Lily was the outgoing, stubborn and sharp one while Hailey was more the introvert type and domestic sister.
"What's all this cake for?" Lily asked, scooping up an icing sugar with her finger and licking it clean.
"I invited the children over"..
"Was that necessary?"
"Yes dearest sister...it was. It's Christmas" Hailey laughed, hooking her arms around Lily's arm. "It's the season to be jolly. We are lovely neighbors aren't we?
"That we are womb mates" Lily replied and then sighed "We have come a long way haven't we? It seems like it was just yesterday when everything came crashing down"
"Yeah...we have really come a long way, Lily. And that's because we have each other and we have Pa"
"Where do you think she is right now? With another man? Does she have other kids? Doesn't it ever bother you that the woman who birthed us hasn't once asked after us for ten years?"
Of course it bothers Hailey...but she does not want to talk about it at the moment. She hated talking about their mother. Vanessa made her choice, which was to abandon her children and husband because of wealth and status. She chose material things over her blood, and nothing would change that.
"Let's not talk about it Lily. Whatever she is or isn't doing is none of our business. We didn't ask her to leave...she made that choice on her own" She frowned and went back to mixing her icing sugar so Lily won't see her tear filled eyes
"We are going to be better mothers. Very soon we will start our family Hailey...does that excite you?"
"Not as much as it excites you I bet. Why you already have two suitors going after you? I'm the boring twin" She said with a laugh and turned to give her sister a brief hug.
"You are going to be a very good mother Lily, whenever the time comes.... Because you are not Vanessa"
"Yeah yeah. You really should go out more sometimes. I think the Sheriff's son has an eye on you. I'd love to wed next to my sister"
"The Sheriff's son has an eye on every girl in skirts" Hailey replied with an eye roll and they both laughed.
"Hmmm.... What smells nice?" A deep voice called from the sitting and the two sisters glanced at each other with a smile.
"Over here Pa" Lily called
Their father walked into kitchen hair covered in snow with a wide smile.
"Aaahn, my favorite girls" He said, dropping his bag on a stool by the door.
"How was the meeting with the elders?" Lily asked.
"Well ....same old thing. They need volunteers for the Christmas carol dance blah blah blah. Hand me one of those delicious looking cookies will ya"
"It's for the children Pa" Hailey said but still passed him the tray filled with different shaped cookies.
"And someone was found dead by the stream last night" Jonah continued then bit into the cookie and groaned.
Hailey frowned
"Found dead? What do you mean? Who's that?"
"Miss Kate" He replied and they both gasped
"What??... Miss Kate of the village library? What happened to her, did she drown?"
Miss Kate was never much of a swimmer
"Sadly no. It was an animal attack. Their were deep bites on her neck "
Animal attack? But wild animals have never attacked the village before. In Fact there were no wild animals there. And the stream was a very open place...what was Miss Kate doing there in the night?
"What animal?" Lily asked and their father shrugged
"I have no idea. The Sheriff is investigating the case. In the meantime everyone is warned to stay off the bush and indoors once it's 6pm. . Lily, no more sneaking off at night to meet that boyfriend of yours. This is a serious matter"
"It's a scary matter," Hailey replied. What animal could have attacked and killed Miss Kate?
She never liked to visit the stream let alone at night. Why her though?
"This is fishy," she replied.
"I know right?" Lily chipped in but their father shrugged
"The elders will look into it. You two will stay out of it and I mean it. If there's a wild animal in the village, the men will find it and kill it. Till then we have to keep the children and everyone else safe"
Hailey sighed sadly.
Crispy Hollows was a very city village. What on Earth is all these now!?

The silence in the whole village made Hailey uneasy.She loved quiet and all but not like this. There was fear and a sense of danger in the air, you could almost smell it.There were no more sounds of laughter and Christmas music like there should be on a Christmas Eve. Not even a whisper could be heard.Their father had warned them not to step out of the house later that day, and they had ended up eating most of the things she cooked themselves while the rest were left to spoil in the kitchen.Hailey didn't like what she was feeling. It was almost midnight, yet she couldn't sleep. The sounds of snow falling on roofs were the only sounds that could be heard outside Hailey's room.She got up from her bed and went to stand beside the window and stared at the dark bushes. What really happened to Miss Kate?What sort of animal was it?How do they know that the animal was still in the village? What if it already left?Where could it be hiding and where did it come from?

The scorching pain running through Hailey's body was almost tearing her apart but she couldn't do anything...No matter how much she tried to scream she couldn't get a word out of her mouth.Then the pain was replaced by dizziness...and the last thing she heard as she lost consciousness was Vanessa's whisper"Sleep daughter. And when you wake up you will be forever grateful for what I did. You will be faster, stronger and smarter than anyone you come across. You will be undefeatable and by my side your sister and I will rule, forever"Then everything went black_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _What woke Hailey up was the bumpings and neigh of horses.

But during these years they had been planning...... On how to escape.Vanessa was building an army of vampires..and they had no idea what they were for but Hailey knew it wasn't for any good.This was the perfect opportunity for them to leave because she had left earlier that money and won't be back till the next day.Ten years of laying low had made her trust the twins.Fat mistake."We don't need clothes.

It's been a hundred and fifty years already...what mortal can live that long?" Lily laughed, biting into the red apple in her hand.Hailey smiled looking at her sister. They had come a very long way since they escaped from their mother's Tower. Lily was looking elegant, her lips bright red and hair styled like that of a queen.The chariot carrying them was that of kings "What was the point of this again Lily?""Hollow Springs is our home in Hailey. We built it with our bare hands... I just want to go back there"Hollow springs...The cottage they had found years ago.

Hailey was wearing a smile as she walked to her sister carrying a tray of cookies. Lily would be surprised to see her because she had visited her just the day before, but she had tried a new recipe and couldn't wait to share it with her twin sister.She glanced around Lily's garden and felt her heart swell with pride.Her sister had come a very long way.... They both had. It has been five years since they came to Hollow Springs and everyday since then has been nothing but blissful. Nobody suspected what they were, and that's because they did a very good job in hiding themselves.They only feed on wild animals twice a week and took an oath not to hurt mankind.It was very hard for them both, especially Hailey.

She could smell it and it tore her apart.So she tried her best to stay away from human company.They had tried their best to blend in which was working perfectly for them, besides th

Hailey woke up later with her head banging. Headache? When was the last time she had a headache?She opened her eyes and frowned at her surroundings... Was this not Lily's house?What was she doing here?Then her stomach turned as she perceived the smell of blood.Wincing she got up from the bed rubbing her eyes over her face and froze again at the wet feeling on her face. She looked at her palm and saw blood.Hailey gasped in horror trying her best to remember where the blood came from. She tried to remember how the blood got to her hands. That was the smell of human blood.Only thing she Could remember was leaving Lily's garden with a tray of cookies and coming to her house. She remembered knocking and Dax opening the door with a smile and inviting her in. Inviting her in? Why wasn't she carrying the tray of cookies then? Where had she kept it?She didn't remember.With stomach still turning and head turning she got down from the bed and almost screamed at the sight beside the be
