Chapter One[]
My feet pattered against the floor as I ran as fast as I can towards the forest. I didn't care that my feet were bloody and bruised, or that there were splinters and thorns in my feet as I kept running. All I cared about was getting away from them. Them.
They were the ones chasing me. I kept running. They kept chasing. As I crashed through the woods, I started dodging trees here and there. Every once and a while, I would change direction, hoping to trick them. But I could not. I heard them charging after me, a bullet barely missing my face. The urgent will to survive became stronger and I jumped up the closest tree and began jumping through the trees.
I heard them following me still, keeping their speed, only around ten meters behind me. Taking a risk, I swan dived from the tree I was in and rolled to my feet as I touched the ground. I started swirving more, confusing them. I knew I could only escape them with one thing...
My wings opened and I flew. I had turned into a raven. A lovely thing that came with being a vampire. Soaring into the sky, far above them, I could hear them yelling in rage and turning on each other. They were pitiful new vampires, destined to die early; I thought.
As I flew, I saw a small house and recongized it as my own. I started flying lower, landing on the roof. As I landed, my wings morphed to arms and my stick legs to pale, flesh ones. My red hair morphed from my tinted red-black feathers and soon I was human, in a short black dress.
"You're back...Where were you, Adelaide-a? I was waiting." I heard a voice sneer from behind me.
Behind me stood Adam. His blonde hair messy, in a natural and - as teenage girls would say - hot way. His blue eyes twinkled with anger, an odd thing. Adam was a vampire, like me. I was his Sire, the one who turned him. For I hoped to turn him into a body guard or servant or something. I glared at him, and shoved him off the roof before landing gracefully as I jumped off.
I don't really think I need to tell you where I was, Mr Burke. I have a life, or at least, an undead one, unlike you. I whispered in his mind.
"Whatever, ma'am. Dinner is inside." He said and I followed him inside.
