Preface I was a vampire. Blood wasnt anything newto me. It didnt matter how I got it. As long as I had it.

The clean taste. The way it felt as it washed over mytongue. And the smell was impossible to ignore. Thedesire grows stronger. Devours youUntil you givein.

Chapter 1- Mystery

Valdis Snow stood there in her master sizedbathroom, in front of a huge full sized mirror. Herlong body stood calm and completely motionless. Herblack, straight hair hung down the sides of her paleface, making her look beautiful and mysterious. Andher eyes glowed a moon colored silver, almost icylike.

She never understood how she hid her identity

from humans. Most vampire breeds like her wererare. And often killed. There were still vampires likeher around. But she has only heard that they werearound from her mother, who died 10 years backwith her father and brother in a horrible car accident,but she has never actually seen one. Her vampirebreed was dangerous. A death trap. A natural bornkiller.

Our eye color could change, we drew people inwith our unrealistic beauty, and most of all, thepowers we had. Me, I had mind reading, I can jump toothers dreams, I can make people do what I wantthem to do, I could make then think what I wanted

them to hear, and I never aged or change. Morepowers show up, and I was only at 1,000 years. So nodoubt I was still in for a long road.

Getting ready for school was a drag because I

had to struggle really hard to get my eye color tochange every morning. As I struggled, I watched myeyes change from silver to a midnight blue. Then Iran out of the restroom into my blackened bedroomto put some clothes on.

It was a Friday and I decided to wear myconverse shoes, a long sleeved black shirt with holesat the end to put my thumbs through, and a pair of

black mini shorts. Some people would say Im goth.Others say emo. But I just preferred: different.

I grabbed my truck keys then went outside.Since I lived in Washington I had to be careful gettingoff the dirt road from my house in the forest to theroad that led to the little town of Moonrise. Whichwasnt that bad of a town. It was small. Only hadabout 3,500 people. And was extravagant. The

forest was right behind this little town. And you canalways see the most beautiful of things coming out ofthe woods. Last time I saw a wolf.

My truck came to a halt as I reached theparking lot of Moonrise High. As I got out of the truckthere were a few teens probably in 11th grade. Likeme. But they seemed tense. And they were staring atme. A boy and two girls. They seemed different too.

Im thinking they were new students. They all hadbright leaf colored eyes, and a unique paleness totheir skin as I did. They seemed sort of aware of theirsurroundings. Too aware. Like they were waiting forsomething to happen. Then all at once I felt I neededto leave. It was like a repelling force and I knew I had

8/4/2019 Still Doll

4/24

I get away from them.As I entered the school everyone were at there

lockers getting there books for class. As I got to mylocker I looked over and noticed that they had lockers

just four down from mine. And all I could think wasDamn. So as fast as I could possibly go I gatheredmy books and went to class without looking back.Geometry was right down the hallway and as Ientered the classroom Ms. Rose turned from her seatto tell me hello. Then I sat down in my seat andstarted my assignment.

Just before the bell rang all three of my little

stalkers walked through the door. And all of themwere staring right at me as soon as they walkedthrough. But this time there was peace and theywere looking at me in wonder instead of themenacing, death look they had earlier. They werereally calm and looked almost expecting. Then theysat down in the very back of the classroom. Goodthing I was in the front. ButThe boy he was

interesting...After what seemed like a lifetime of waiting the

bell rung and I was up and heading out of the room.But all I could really think about was how beautifulhe was. He looked like a angel. With his black hair,and his endless moss green eyes and impossiblebeautiful pale face. And all I thought about himbefore was how much of a stalker he was.

As I got my stuff from the locker I ran into Kiki.One of my best friends. I had two best friends. Kikiand Shay. And I saw them everyday. Kiki had cocoaskin and pretty short, black hair with a thin body. AndShay was about the same way. But had the emo hairlike me.

8/4/2019 Still Doll

5/24

Oh, hey Kiki. Whats up. I greeted.Nothing much. Running around. Hey did you

see the new students?Yea. Sure didWho are they?

Thats the Cross family. They are brother andsisters. But their parents died months ago. I dontknow what from though. The black haired boy isnamed Ambrose, the redhead girl is named Nyx, andthe other brunette girl is named Hecate. Beautiful arethey.

And of course they were. Nyx had beautiful redhair that hung to her hips and was wavy instead of

curly and had just as pale skin as the others with amodel like body. But Hecate was different. She hasshort spiky hair that hung about a inch below herears and she had a very unique touch that I couldntdescribe. But they were unique. I didnt know whybut they reminded me of myself.

When did they move here? I said dazedly.About a year ago. Why you ask?

I was just wondering. I have to go. But I willsee you at lunch. Mr. Eastwood will be upset if I missLanguage arts. See ya.

Ok then. Bye Valdis. Then she was off toclass.

I entered the room full of people reading. AndMr. Eastwood gave me a tardy slip as soon as Iwalked through. So I decided just to sit down and

enjoy class. Of course the Ambrose, Hecate and Nyxhad their classes with me. They were newer. So theywould start the class earlier. Then I heard it. It was aclear male voice in my head. It was beautiful andpure.Hi Valdis.

8/4/2019 Still Doll

6/24

I had no idea what to do. I either forgot I heard itand go on with class or LEAVE.Wait dont leave. Listen. We are like you. Come ondont act like you cant hear me. Me and my sisters

are vampires to, Valdis.Then I let my mental voice kick in.

What!? Who are you!?Then the second voice that came in was a

females and cold. But was a beautiful as his.Its us. Ambrose, Hecate, and Nyx. And no need to bealarmed. We dont want to hurt you. We just wantedto chat for a little while.

I couldnt speak. It was like I swallowed mytongue and had no usage of it. So like a idiot Ipanicked and ran out of the classroom. As I ran out ofthe classroom I noticed no one was following me. Iwas completely alone. So I had a clear way to mytruck. I busted out the front doors to the school andran to my red truck. And as I got in a new voice wasin my head as a high soprano.

Come back Valdis. We said we didnt want to hurtyou. Com-- But the voice was drained out by the sound ofthe engine coming to life. Then I was on my wayback home. When I got home I ran upstairs and

jumped in my bed and was thinking so much towhere my head hurt.

Whats going on? Who are they? Are they

vampires like me? Are they my breed? Then thatthought stopped me in my tracks. Vampire breed likeme. Impossible. My breed was way to rare to be inWashington. The most rainiest, cloudiest places onearth.it just couldnt be. Then I got to thinkingagain. What if they were looking for a place to hide. A

8/4/2019 Still Doll

7/24

place to hide from what was killing my kind everyday.I wouldnt deny them a roof over their head. But itshard to trust other vampires sometimes. But itsbetter then trusting some humans, who could be

willing to kill you any second when your aroundthem.

Then the voices came back in my head.Let us in. We have to talk. Now.

And this time I obeyed. I got up from mybed and went downstairs to the front door. I washesitant at first, but then slowly turned the knob andopened the door. To them waiting for me with

crimson red eyes.

Chapter 2- Soul mates

I stood there and I could feel my eye colorchanging. Knowing that it was changing from amidnight blue to a crimson like theirs. And I could seethat they were tense again, knowing that they werecoming into another vampires territory and that if Iwanted to, I could kill them for it. So instead ofstanding there looking stupid I was the first to speak.

Why dont you guys come on in. I offeredsmoothly.

Ambrose was the first to answer. And hisvoice sounded more gorgeous in person. It was like Iwas dreaming.

Sure. We came here to talk, so here weare.

He didnt look so tense anymore. His smilewas radiant and looked like it out glowed the sun.And his teeth were perfect. Nothing was out of place.

Yes, of course And I tried to give the bestsmile I could, So just come on in and make yourselfat home.

They came into my huge Victorian houseand sat down in the living room. But Hecate seemedhesitant and walked slowly into the house, unlike Nyxand Ambrose who just strolled right on in with noproblem at all. She seemed like she was hungry to.

Not like hungry for human food. But hungry, like forblood. Just the thought of it made my throat hurt.

So what did you come to talk about? Iasked.

It was Ambrose who spoke.We came to talk about you. Us? You

8/4/2019 Still Doll

9/24

already know what we are. he waited a second thenstarted speaking again, And yes we are your breed.We are rarebut we managed to survive when ourparents were murdered awhile back. But, anyways

we need a favor. We all would like to know if we couldstay here with you. We have no where else to go andwe need to stay safe, we think you could help withthat.

I thought about it for at least ten minutesthen answered.

Yes, you can stay. There is plenty of roomhere for you guys. I guessI can show you guys to

your rooms right now. Then I smiled. But Ambrosewas looking at me all weird. Like he just saw a themost special thing in the world to him. Then he cameback.

Yes, he stuttered Thank you so much.After I showed them to their rooms, I went

to my bedroom, opened the doors to the balcony andstood outside in the cold winter air and took a deep

breath. I couldnt understand anything at all. Icouldnt believe I was falling for him and I barelyeven knew him. It was the weirdest thing that everhappened to me. I couldnt make sense of what to doso I just stood there and breathed. About 30 minutesinto my thinking time, I heard my door opening andheard footsteps approaching. About half a secondlater Ambrose was behind me. I could feel his breath

going down my neck and the sound of his breathingin unison with mine.What are you doing out here all alone? Why

arent you inside? We didnt mean to barge in to yourhouse, we just needed a place to stay.

I couldnt say the right words. There was a

8/4/2019 Still Doll

10/24

lump in my throat I couldnt get out. And my mouthwas dry.

Its ok. Dont worry about it, then I turnedaround to see his face inches from mine, Dont

urmworry about it. Then he smiled.I believed that I was way to in love with him

already.

Three Weeks Later

It was a December on a Saturday morning,and snow was on the ground. Ambrose and his

sisters still lived with me. They said that they lovedit here, then I told them they could stay for as longas they like. And I wanted Ambrose to stay. I couldntbear the thought of him moving away and leaving.But I bet he already knew that I loved him.

I decided to just go downstairs and getsomething to eat. I wasnt that fond of human foodbut it worked better then nothing. Five minutes later,

Ambrose came down from his bedroom. He looked atme with eyes full of wonder and awe again, and I hadno idea why he did that. He went to the fridge andgot a water.

Good morning, Valdis. What you doing upat 6:30 in the morning? he questioned.

I couldnt sleep. Nightmares I guess Ihesitated not wanting to say more because he knew I

was lying. I was really up all night thinking of him.And he knew that to.Im sorry. Are you ok? Then he was walking

over to me and had his hand on my face. It felt likelightning sparked my skin. And I could feel adrenalinerushing through me. I think he felt it too because his

8/4/2019 Still Doll

11/24

eyes got huge and he acted like someone justslapped him in the face.

IIm ok, He looked down on me withsilver eyes. And of course mine were probably that

color to because they were every morning. I wasjust thinking.

Understandable. You seemed very tensefor the past few weeks, the look had gone off hisface and he talked sweetly and then he pausedlooking sad, I know that we just met and this ishard for me to bring this on you but, II love you. Itsounds crazy but, for some reason I cant stay away

from you. Its like I know you. I have no ideaThen he trailed off. But what I didnt get

was why it was coming so quickly. I wanted him but Ididnt know he wanted me.

Do you believe in soul mates?That question stop my train of thought.

And for a second it felt like me and him were the onlypeople in the world. Then I came back to reality.

Yes, I do. I have for a long time. But Ineverbelieved it happen to our kind.

It sure does. Everyday. I have no otherexplanation other then that one. It feels like I knowyou. Like I cant be away from you. I need you,Valdis.

At that instant I realized I needed him to.He grabbed my face and was leaning in slowly.

Inching closer, then our lips met. Again it was like anelective shock going all through my body. Frying mynerves and lifting my soul. He was mine. He was mysoul mate. Forever to be in my arms.

He picked me up off the ground andcarried me up to my bedroom and placed me on the

8/4/2019 Still Doll

12/24

bed kissing my neck and lips softly. But we knew wecouldnt go that far. Even though we wanted to.

No, Valdis. Not now. Maybe later, but giveit time. I love you but we have to wait. Wait until

tonight. The girls will be out hunting so we mighthave time. Not now.

I already knew we couldnt so I agreed andhe grabbed my hand and led me downstairs. A littlewhile later Hecate and Nyx walked downstairs andgrabbed some food.

Hey guys, Nyx squeaked How was yourmorning?

From what I have seen the Cross familywere very polite but sometimes had their moments.

When are you guys going hunting?Hecate asked glumly.

Probably tomorrow. We will let you guysgo tonight. he gave me a little wink from the sideand looked back at Hecate, Is that ok?

She waited a second while she was eating

her cinnamon roll with milk then turned to look athim.

Sounds good to me. Nyx and I will gotonight. We will probably be gone the whole night. Ittakes awhile to temporarily stop my thirst.

I shuddered at the thought of blood. Iloved the taste and smell but when I thought about itI would get more and more thirsty and then I would

become uncontrollable. But I could stay wait untiltomorrow. Blood wasnt that much of a big deal. But Imust go tomorrow with Ambrose.

After the longest day of my life, doingnothing but watching TV and playing games withHecate and Nyx, they left to feed. They must have

8/4/2019 Still Doll

13/24

been thirsty, because they were very anxious to getout the door tonight. Like they were being pulled by arope and had no choice but to go.

About a few short seconds after they

left, Ambrose picked me up in his arms and carriedme up to his bedroom. His bedroom was red with ablack king-sized bed and black silk curtains. Idesigned it myself years ago. He laid me down on hisbed a began kissing me on the lips then my neck andwhile still kissing my neck he began unbuttoning myshirt and my pants. Then started taking them offever so slowly. Not wanting to go to fast.

While he was above me I startedunbuttoning his shirt and he had no pants to beginwith. Just boxers. His body was beautiful to. He was alittle muscular and it was a body that should havebelonged to a God. Then after admiring his body hestopped. Just stopped. Stopped kissing, stoppedeverything.

Are you ok? Whats the matter? I

asked confused.I cant do it. Im not ready. Im sorry.I understood that. Honestly I wasnt

ready either. I wasnt ready to give up my virtue. ButI wanted him. But I knew all to well me and himwerent ready.

Its ok. I wasnt ready either. I wasscaredBut I didnt know how to tell you.

But its ok. In time, I understand that. In time we cantry. But not now. Its ok.He laid there next to me looking at the

ceiling with a sad expression. When he turned to mehis expression was filled with understandment. Hewas feeling the same way. He told me he wasnt

8/4/2019 Still Doll

14/24

ready and I believed him. Cause I knew I wasnt.Then he turned back over toward to me a kissed mesoftly on the lips.

I will always love you Valdis. You are

my sun, my stars, and my moon. You guide methrough the darkest caves. I love you so much. Icouldnt stop myself from crying. And we laid therethe rest of the night with our arms holding eachother. And I wanted it to last forever.

Chapter 3- Time

I woke up the next morning with the lightbehind the curtains barely dimmed, I was guessing

that it was 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning. Ambrose wasprobably downstairs because he wasnt in here. Andthe master bathroom light was out. So I knew hewasnt in there. I decided to get up from bed andshuffle downstairs. When I reached the bottomAmbrose was sitting on the couch, reading a book. Asslow as I could I came behind him and put my handsover his eyes.

Guess who? I cooed.He sniffed the air and put his hands on

mine then sighed.I dont know maybe a beautiful night

princess, Then he pulled my arms and flipped meover the couch into his lap. Or its just someone

8/4/2019 Still Doll

15/24

more beautiful then that. It looked like he meant it.He looked at me then bent his head close to mine.

The kiss was amazing. His lips were soft and felt likesilk against my skin. Then he stopped. And I heard

footsteps coming downstairs. It was Hecate. Imguessing Nyx was gone. Probably out in town doingsomething. Hecate looked at us with confusion thenhappiness. From what she told me weeks ago,Ambrose has been looking for his soul mate foryears. And I think she was happy that we weretogether.

I got up from Ambroses lap and head

to the backdoor. The thing about my house is that itwasnt located in a neighborhood. It was locatedoutside the town and was in the woods. And whenyou stepped out on the cold back porch there was

just trees, trees, and more trees. But it wasbeautiful. Washington stayed cloudy, so the forestwas always dark and scary looking. But I was used toit after so many years of living alone. Today Ambrose

and I get to go out to hunt in the forest today.Sometimes I drink animal blood. But today I plan tofind some hikers. All of a sudden my throat felt like itwas on fire. I decided to shove the thought of bloodaway and focus on something else. I stepped into thehouse and closed the back door. Ambrose was still onthe couch so I went over and sat next to him and lentmy head against his shoulder. Instead of just

standing still he cradled me and kissed my forehead.What do you wanted to do today?He whispered. Hecate was gone. I think she wasupstairs because I heard shuffling of her moving stuffout of the way. And honestly, I didnt know what todo today. Of course I wanted to do something with

8/4/2019 Still Doll

16/24

him but I didnt know what. Then he moved me offhis lap.

Do you want to go take a walk in theforest?

I loved the forest. And I loved takingwalks in it. So instead of sitting there I got up andwent up stairs to get dressed. I didnt really needwinter cloths but I did dress in a Diesel jacket with apair of skinny jeans and of course nothing iscomplete without my converse shoes. So I randownstairs a second later and opened the backdoor. Ididnt tell him a yes or no. He already knew. He went

ahead of me walking a little fast until the huge twostory house was out of sight behind the big fir trees.

Then he started slowing down. And I heard thebabbling of a stream nearby. Then we approached it.

The stream was 5 feet across and about 2 feet deep,with crystal clear water and little pebbles on thebottom that you could see perfectly. You could alsosee little fish swimming on the bottom. He sat down

next to the stream, then I followed.Beautiful isnt it? he sighed the looked

at me. I came here a week ago and wanted to showyou. But you were busy I guess. This place remindedme of you.

Then he got up, took my hand. We wererunning throught the unknown forest. We passedtrees, creeks, huge rock ledges, and extravagant

scenery. Everything between me and him wasunconditional. No conditions for our love. No onewould stop us from loving each other or pull us apart.

That was the best part about soul mates. The bondcould never be broken.

After running for a little while we smelt a

8/4/2019 Still Doll

17/24

delicious smell then stopped dead in our tracks. Itwas blood. A human must have crossed this pathhiking 20 minutes ago because it was still fresh.

Ready to hunt? I am. His eyes turned a

dark maroon and I could tell he was ready to kill. I letmy eyes turn from silver to red then let my instinctstake over. I could smell that the human wasnt far.About a mile to the east.

There are two. But they are both males.And very near. I thought to Ambrose. Got it. Lets go.

We took off at the speed of light. A minute

later we caught the strangers sitting down takeing abreak. They were shareing a bottle of water so I knewI had to be quick before they saw us. As slowly as Icould I stalked in the trees instead of on the ground,unlike Ambrose, but he had a better shot then me. Iwas right over top of them. I jumped down on theolder makes back, and before he could scream Ibroke his neck with a satisfying crunch. Ambrose

came second. The other male pasted out so he justhad to break his neck and drink. This males bloodtasted different. Almost had an alcohol taste. I wasguessing he was a drinker. But it satified my thirstanyway, so I kept drinking. After he was all drained ofblood I stood up and stretched.

That wasnt to bad. You? I asked.It was good. Now all we need is a place

to stash the bodies.We looked around for a while deeper inthe woods and dug a deep hole. After the bodieswere in we filled the hole back up, and patted theland flat. Then we were flying through the trees. Assoon as the house was in view Ambrose stopped and

8/4/2019 Still Doll

18/24

turned to me. His eyes were that green again. And Iknew mine probably changed to.

How about another kiss, my love.Then in a flash he had me against his

body, kissing me with such passion that I thought Iwas going to faint. His kiss was so different. Hewasnt being careful this time just in case some onewould come. He just kept kissing. Not worrying whowas around. And not wanting to stop. I knew thatHecate and Nyx were gone in town today to visitsome friends. So this was my opportunity. I brokeaway from him and ran to the house. I was quick but

he caught up to me soon. I got into the house andthen both of us were rushing upstairs. I landed in thebedroom on my bed. Then he got to me and startedkissing me again. He got to my pants and shirtbefore I got to his, and they were gone just as quickas he got to them. Then his shirt was off andeverything went quickly. His body against mine. Hissweet breath against my face. Then all the rest was

pure bliss. Soon it would be morning and we wouldbe incepribale.

8/4/2019 Still Doll

Chapter 4- BloodLust

I came down the stairs next morningfeeling blissfully divine, then Hecate came throughthe front door. Her eyes were a blazing red and shelooked angry. I was guessing the other night didnt fillher up as well as I thought.

I hate this! she screeched.Then she picked up a vase and chucked it

at the front door.I hate everything about being a stupid

vampire! I hate it! I am so thirsty! she screechedagain. And before she could do anymore damage,

Ambrose came out of nowhere and had Hecate armsbehind her and then he brought her down to theground.

Go to sleep.go to sleep hewhispered.

She slumped and I could hear her shallowbreathing start.

She wont wake up for a while. Hopefully.

We helped carry her upstairs to her darkpurple bedroom and laid her on the bed. After a littlewhile Nyx showed up and started asking questions.

What happened to Hecate? she askedworriedly.

She went insane with thirst. Didnt she

8/4/2019 Still Doll

20/24

get enough when you guys went hunting the othernight?

Of course she did. I meanonly oneperson. Then she paused for a moment, I was

thinking that might have been enough for her. Shedidnt look that thirsty afterwards. I offered to stayout longer, but she insisted on going back home andresting. So we came back.

No one talked for a long time. Me andAmbrose already fed last night. But I think that weshould be feeding more then once every two weeks.

Ok, heres the deal. We all feed once a

week. But what we need to do is not feed in town atall. We need to start traveling to other cities otherthen Moonrise. So starting Monday we feed once aweek.

Nyx and Ambrose agreed to the idea. So Iwent to the back porch and sat down. The cold airwhipped around me and I could hear the howls ofwolves that were near. It was a beautiful night to

hunt. But I already had my fair share. Ambrosefollowed me out in seconds time and was sitting nextto me.

Whats the matter, my love? Worrytainted his voice and I didnt like it.

Dont worry about me. I put my hand onhis face. I am fine. I was just thinking. I dropped myhand. I hope Hecate is ok. She should have drank

more. If you dont get enough, you will loose controlof yourself. He seemed to be lost in thought when Ilooked over at him. He was staring out into the darkforest. Then he looked over to me and suddenlypicked me up.

Want to go upstairs? Listen to some

8/4/2019 Still Doll

21/24

music?I didnt know how to answer so I just

agreed and he ran upstairs in a flash withoutstopping until he reached my black bed and layed

me down on it. He then put on my favorite songReptilia by The Strokes. Then we layed on the bedstarering at my ceiling.

I know something was broken and I wastrying to repair it anyway I could. I knew somethingwas off, but there was nothing I could do. After a fewhours of listening to music, I sat up. Ambrose sat upwith me.

You ok?, he questioned.Yea,Im going into town for a bit.As I said that I got up and got my jacket on

and walked out the door.

Moonrise was as beautiful as ever. Snowwas still on the ground, sparkling and soft. But

something hung over a town. It was dark and an evilpresense that hung. I knew something was thematter. But what?

I was walking by this little shop. Full ofwicken and and You know, more witch supplies.

Then I heard a low growl behind me. And instantlyknew I was in danger. My senses kicked into gear andI sprinted. Weaving in and out of little stores, house,

fences. Just running. I jumped on top of the DollarGernral building, and thats where the vampire thatsbeen chaseing me stood. He wore all black, with ablack top hat. He smelled of blood and cheapcolougne. I stood my ground.

Who is the hell are you!?, I spat.

8/4/2019 Still Doll

22/24

He laughed and looked up at me. And for asecond, I was stunned. He looked just like me.Exactly. Same hair. Same smoothed and prominentface. And the same lips.

Hello baby sister, he answered with a grin,Been awhile since youve seen me hasnt it?

I dropped to my knees. My brother wasALIVE. And well. Were mom and dad alive!? Werethey actually ok!?

G-Gabriel?, I whispered, Your alive? Buth-h---

He put his fingers to my lips. Holding them

there. He seemed scared for a second. He didnthave that playful grin he had earlier.

The accident didnt kill me. I wasnt able toface you. I just couldnt do it I disappeared for areason.

I stood there for a second thinkingeverything through. What could of possibly been sobad that he had to leave me!? Alone! I was alone for

years with no one there for me. Having to deal withmy parents (and his) death. But hes here. And alive.

I dont understand. Are mom and dad stillalive!? Does that means theres a possibility

He stood there for a while. Stareing at me.Trying to find the desperate words to try and comfortme.

Im sorry But no. Theyre dead

It didnt hit me as hard the second time. Butit still sent a dagger through my already dead heart.There was a chance but I shouldnt have been soworked up to thinking they might have been alive.Gabriel continued.

But theres something else, he hesitated.

8/4/2019 Still Doll

23/24

What is it, brother?You and your loved ones are in danger.

Theres someone after us. And they arent just human.Theyre vampires, humans, and werewolves.

My heart sank. Now my family was in trouble.Nyx, Hecate, Gabriel, Ambrose I had to save them.

Who are they? And what do we do? Idemanded.

I dont know who they are. All I really doknow is that they are vampire hunters and havekilled a lot of our kind. I dont really know why ourkind is even helping them. There are only a few. But

we need to get out of here and head up to Canada.I jumped up, Lets got to the house, get

everyone ready.I take off fore the trees. Everything is flying

past me. Faster and faster. I finally come to thehouse with Gabriel behind me. Ambrose meets me atthen forest line.

Who is this, love? he asked with worry.

I grabbed his hand, Its ok. This This isGabriel. My brother.

His eyes got panic streaken. He acted as if hesaw a ghost. He knew of my brother, I told him thewhole story, of the wreck, the death of my old family.His eyes then got hard, and then softened back up.

H-How are you? he studdered.Lets just say we are all screwed if we dont

leave now. my brother answered.Why? Whats going on?Nyx and Hecate appeared out of nowhere

then stood beside me and Ambrose.Hunters are following your trail. They are

here at town, but dont know where your exact

8/4/2019 Still Doll

24/24

location is. We need to leave. NOW. We are in a lot ofdanger.

I gather all my things (mostly just a few piecesof jewelry that my mother gave me and cloths). I

then throw my bag around my shoulder and head outthe door. Hecate, Nyx, Ambrose and Gabriel wereright behind me. I took off into the woods, headingnorth. We had to get away from Moonrise, go waypast Seattle and up into Canada. But it was adangourous situation and had to watch where wewere.
