Chapter One- The Meeting

      Pike despised his life. He hated arriving home from school and finding his older step brother, Stephen on the couch with his father (Pike's step father) and his mother doing drugs and drinking. Pike was pretty sure that Stepen was using and drinking too. Pike did not understand why a highschool dropout like Stephen was treated so much better than a kid like himself who was a senior in highschool and going to be graduating this year.

      Tonight was going to be Pike's last night in the place he was supposed to call his home though in his mind it was not really a home because nobody deserved to be treated the way Pike was treated. Pike was going to have to wait until after everbody in the house was asleep which shouldn't be too much longer. Pike knew somebody was awake because he could hear the downstair television on. So he patiently waited because he was going to get out of this place finially so it did not make any difference to him whether it took an hour for the last person to fall asleep or five minutes.

      Sure enough the television was turned off in twenty minutes and there were footsteps walking up the stairwell. The footsteps took the wrong direction and headed towards his room. It was probably one of his parents coming to check up on him to make sure he was asleep. Pike quickly pulled the covers over him and pretended to be asleep. He heard the door open and then close and listened while the footsteps walked away from his room and towards his parents room. When he heard the door shut, he quietley opened up his door and walked down the hall to the stair well. He then proceeded to walk down the stairs and to the coat rack to grab his coat before walking out of the door and quietely closing it.

      Pike had a bag already packed and hidden deep in the woods behind his house just for this occasion. There was not much in the bag: a pair of socks, hat and gloves, sweat shirt and a pair of sweat pants, waterbottle and a few snacks to eat. As he headed towards the spot where he had hidden the bag he felt as if someone or something was following him. He turned around quickly and searched the area around him looking for anything out of place but he saw nothing. He turned back around and started running as fast as he could which was pretty fast as he was the fastest runner in his class but he still felt as if someone or something was following him. Again he turned around but this time he shouted, " WHOEVER YOU ARE JUST TAKE ME ALREADY! KILL ME! I DO NOT CARE!" He heard a sound that sounded like laughter, a womans laugh at that but where was it comming from? He turned around as if to continue walking but there was an amazingly beautiful woman standing in front of him.

      The womans hair was raven black but in the light it looked like it had purprle streaks in it. She wore her hair down and it was to her shoulders. Her eyes were a blood red and scary to Pike. Her skin was the palest of pale. Her lips were a bright red like the color of blood. She had the palest skin that Pike had ever seen for a human being. She wore a shirt that said "I LOVE VAMPIRES!!" in white writing and the color around the words was red. She wore a short skirt that was black. She had on black sandals and Pike thought to himself weren't her feet and legs cold?

        Pike stood there looking at her for the longest time before she asked him "Pike are you just going to stare at me? Or are you going to say something to me?" Pike must have had his mouth wide open when he finally he was able to say something. " Who are you" How do you know my name?"Pike asked. She just smiled at him and said, " Pike I know alot about you. I know that you wish you were treated like Stephen your step brother. You wish you were dead because of that house that you live in." Again he asked, " Who are you and how do you know all that?" She smiled at him again but a bit wider and he saw something that no human should have, sharp pointy teeth they looked like fangs. He gasped and asked "Who are you?" She answered," Pike shouldn't you be asking what I am instead of who I am but I will answer your question and tell you what I am. My name is Samantha Whiskey but you may call me Sam if you wish. The answer to the other question that you forgot to ask is that I'm a vampire."

" Vampires don't exist thought. They are just made to scare people in stories. They are not real! Those have to be fake," Pike said. Sam laughed louder than before before saying" Everything you ever thought was only a fantasy I can almost guarantee is not just that. The movies are made so nobody will ever look into our existence. We are not from the same world you and I, my love. So much more is out there, just waiting for you to find. I have the answer to all your problems and questions. But I have a few questions for you first. You must be honest with me if I am to truely do as I eventually want. Do you understand?" For a minute Pike just stood there and thought to himself, what am I getting myself into? Can she really be even telling me the truth? But Sam just was the women from those dreams he had been having for a month or so and more than anything he just wanted to trust her. Pike everything said" Ask what you want." Sam smiled and looked at the sky and said "You look tired and frightened do you trust me or not? I don't mean any harm. I'm not going to do anything that you don't want or wish. If you trust me follow me please. I promise tonight is only going to be talking. You can ask me what you want and I will ask what I want fair?" She started walking slowly away from him and he shocked himself by following her. Surpringly he followed her to a little house by a river not very far from the place they originally met. It looked small from the outside but she opened the door and he just froze seeing the spacious inside of the house. Sam turned to him and grinning said" You look so surprised by the inside did you really think I would live in a small place. I have had years to build and earn the house. Would you like to come in? I promise you will find everything you need and more probably. " Sam motioned inside before stepping in herself and she smiled at him and before he could ask " Why didn't you have to be invited in" she said "The house is one of many places I own. If it was your house or parents yes an invite would be necessary. Now please come in your letting the cool air out." Strangely enough he found himself inside without realizing he even moved. The house was spacious and beautiful and he thought to himself it suited his love. Wait did he really just think about her as his love. Could it be possible? Did he love her or did she do something to make him feel love towards her? Could she do that but yet he did not feel frightened by her or even intimidated. He wanted her more than anything. She smiled and as if she was inside his mind said " Whatever you are feeling was already there before you met me tonight or I seriously doubt you would have been silly enough to follow me am I right? I can indeed influence minds to a degree but to do what you probably are thinking I did is not within my reach you are thinking of another creature ". He literally couldn't move her voice was truly memorizing and the more she spoke the more he fell deeply in love with her. There were so many questions that he wanted to ask but he did not know where to begin. His mind was confused yet he actually truly felt he wasn't in any danger and that if everything Sam said was true he was not going to be harmed. "As I said before tonight is for us to be able to ask any questions we may have about each other and by the way you are looking at me you know that I am not lying to you or you would have left already?"She said quietly. Only thing Pike could manage was a quick nod and continued to stare at her amazing beautiful face." Please you're making me nervous. I never have brought anything besides my meals home and they don't get the opportunity to wander or hear my story about how I became a vampire. Take a seat and I will tell you how I became this" Pike looked at her for a moment more than found a rather comfy looking sofa and sat down. She chose a seat across the way and sighed. Thinking to herself that she hopes she doesn't regret telling him this. "Now I will begin"
