Prologue

Prologue.  Fierce heartbeats. Fast strides. Haggard breaths. Dripping sweats. She knew there was no turning back now. The only thing she regretted was not leaving sooner. she continued to run through the wood,torns and spikes of trees scaring her bare arms and legs. She knew her bare feet were already bleeding but she couldn't stop and couldn't care less. All she thought about,all she cared about then was the little boy running beside her. Countless times,amidst the heat of hurry,she glanced over at the poor little boy fighting to reach her strides. She had brought this all upon him. She shouldn't have involved him. He was still too young! She held onto the tender little hand of the boy,the sweats accumulated over time threatening to separate their hands but she held on tight. Smashing a twig on the floor

Chapter One

Chapter One. Harden. I jerked up from the seat's backrest, waking up from the nightmare that has continued to haunt me for years and into the reality as the truck made the abrupt stop in front of the large cabin like wooden-glass house, and I wondered, 'for how long?'. Every single moment I get to be away from everything around me comes that ugly nightmare that I can never get over, that night which would forever be fresh in my mind. I was so young then, yet my fragile little heart has never grown from that horrible day. Not even for a single day for a hundred years. And as I watched the house seated in front of me, I realized again how much I hated moving and Ester knew that. But after leaving New Orleans,I couldn't care less how many more times we moved and from or to where. At the front,I could hear Charlie and Ester's festive chatters as they snapped their estate car door shut behind them. Sighin

Chapter Two. "That's a really beautiful name,"I replied as I took her hand in mine,amazed by it's softness and warmness "I'm Harden. I can call you Leesha right?" She doesn't reply and all I could hear was the thoughts in her mind. She was contemplating whether to say yes or no. It caused me to smile. In the end,I'm still some stranger to her anyway. "Sure"she replies "you're new here right?" "How did you know that?"I slowly let go of her hand. "Trust me I know practically everyone around here. Especially around this quarter and your face isn't one I've seen around. I can swear I've never seen you before. Plus,you didn't know patrick. Everyone knows him" "Well,you do make quite the perfect observer. You're right,I did just move here today. Although,I've been here on tours and vacations many years ago" "Many years ago?" She laughs unbeliev

Chapter Three

Chapter Three. Alessia.  The Winters were known for over centuries before my existence of it's strict principles. We were known as the vampire hunters. While my great great great grandfather invented the vampire hunting system decades ago and termed himself the vampire slayer,he had left his empire in the hands of sons after sons,daughters after daughters. My grand father, Gregory Winters had left most of the family traditions to my mother who happened to be his first child and his succeeding heir. My mother was a strong woman and obviously the apple of her father's eye. While Gregory had retired from most of his work,now staying up in Denver, completely trusting this whole thing to his children,it's only right to think he's living the dream. My mother,being the first child and irrespective of gender had inherited her father's hunting empire,taking over many of his positions. My grandfat

Chapter Four

  Harden. For a hundred years I've lived with the same memory of the same event. When I close my eyes,it's the same set of eyes. When I open listen, it's the same high pitched voice I hear. Moving to places whenever people started to catch on about our secret was a thing that I always hated. But here in Fox,things suddenly seems so different. It's hard to ignore the voice inside my head that keeps whispering to me,telling me that our run is over, telling me that there's much more to find and love here, telling me my answers are all here. New Orleans had been a special place to be in and I'd stayed there for over fifty years before leaving for Tokyo.  Being a vampire,we always had to be on the low,hiding from our shadows, hiding from the events of the past that haunted us, hiding from mistakes that is a constant reminder that being a vampire isn't a blessing,it's a curse. During your long li

Chapter Five

Chapter Five.               »»»Flashback«««   He knew he couldn't make it,he felt his limbs go weaker and number,he felt his heart ponder within the walls of his chest, couldn't recognize his own breathing. But he ran anyway.   The leaves in the woods slapped his face and bare arms as he continued to run, trying every possible way to meet the pace of his mother who ran ahead,her hand almost glued to his as he lead them through the bushes.   The darkness always terrified him but he had no time to think about how dark the woods look nor how much pain his feet were experiencing. He hadn't had the time to put on his shoes when his mother pulled him out of the house.   But it's been forever since they started running. He didn't think the bad guys were still coming after them. But his mother won't stop running. He wanted to tell him to stop,to tell her he'

Chapter Six.

Alessia.   How stupid right? How stupid that I smile foolishly at the thought of the new guy, Harden. The instant we parted ways in school, he was all I thought about throughout the day. There's just something about him. He's strange yet so...... loveable. We've only known each other for a whole day but I think about him like we've known each other for so long. There is something about him. Something spooky, especially when I look at his eyes. The way he stares at me, the way he speaks so flirtatiously, the way he knows what to say. It's like he could read my fucking mind and know exactly what I wanna say. Walking him through the school had been a lot more fun than I'd expected and when I had to leave, it kinda stung a bit. And now I'm back home looking forward to seeing him tomorrow. But I couldn't completely ignore this eerie feeling I have about him. Sure, he's super hand

Chapter Seven.

Chapter Seven. If I told Rodger that I was embarrassed of being seen walk out of his beat up truck, he'd probably think that I'm being stupid and also think that I'm hating his 'fiona' truck because there's a human girl I wanted to impress. Which is true.The instant his truck pulled up in front of the school, I cringed.Seth grabs my shoulder from the back seat and said "have a good time, bro! Don't forget to save some for me""Save what for you, dumbass?" Rodger asked, looking back to see Seth just like I did."You know...the human girls" he replied cluelessly. "What you two lookin' at me for?"Rodger looks back to the school, ignoring Seth and said "it'll be really fun to go in there and take four girls home with me"Shooting a quick glance at him, I replied "not the school, Rodger""Chill man," he turned a smirk at me "I think you found a girl and you're not telling us. And my big hunch is that she goes to thi

Chapter Eight

  Alessia. "What is wrong with you, Pat?!" I yelled on top of my voice as Patrick launched towards Harden, punching him hard in the stomach. The scene was making my head hurt, maybe it's from all the yelling but seeing them fight was making me so sick. I couldn't believe this was unfolding right in front of me. One minute I'm sitting there talking with him and the next, Patrick is beating him up. I didn't know what to do anymore. Harden is on the floor now, Patrick aiming for him, running towards him. I did the first thing that came to my mind to do. I ran over to Harden, shielding him and facing patrick who was running up. He stops before me, his face contorted with anger. "Stop this, patrick!" I screamed in his face. "What is wrong with you? Why do you go around beating up people?!" "He was fucking talking with you, Alessia!" He yelled "and I fucking s

Chapter Nine

 Alessia.I walked into the house, glad there was nobody in the sitting room before quietly shutting the door close. Turning around, I went into shock as I came face to face with my uncle, Joxer. My heartbeats accelerated as I watched him. Even when I did nothing wrong, he still managed to instill this strong fear in me.I straightened up, held my bag straps for support and greeted him "I'm back""From school?" He asked, peering at the watch wrapped around his wrist "because highschool ends by 3 and it's almost 5"Is he being serious? At least I came home! I wanted to scream at him, to tell him that he wasn't my parent and that I could do whatever I want but I looked down instead, looking for a perfect excuse to give."I.....I wasn't feeling well earlier so after school, Ashley offered to take me to Ammie's to grab a few bites"Silence."Good," he replied "someone's waiting for you in the kitchen.Nodding, I walked
