    I re-read her obituary. The tears pricked my eyes once more. My twin sister of a different blood had died. How could I have let her do that? Why didn't i do something? No. The better question: why did she die from the bite while im cursed with eternal life?

    I remembered the night but it was fuzzy thanks to my unusual ability to black out painful events. We had been walking in the park with a large group of friends. They bet Rome that she couldn't stay out in the forest alone for 30 minutes. She said that she could in that shy quiet way of hers. They insisted she couldn't and said that if she failed to stay in the forest, she'd have to go in the forest with the only pervert in our group of friends, Paul. Her entire face turned scarlett. She gave me a look that said "HELP!!!!!!!!" So i stepped in and told them that if Rome and I could last for 45 minutes they had to pay for our food and drinks for 2 months. They agreed and we went in through a small opening big enough for us to get through. As we went deeper and deeper into the forest it got really dark. Neither of us had a phone or a watch so we had no idea how long we'd been in the forest. We came into a small clearing. All the trees around the clearing for a good 5 yards were barren and looked like they'd been burnt. The dirt was slightly reddish color as if tinted with the feathers of a cardinal.Rome swore she heard a noise to our left. I, being the braver of the two of us, went towards the noise when a girl who looked about 10 and a young man who looked a bit older than us. The girl was crying and the boy looked like he was supressing tears. Rome ran forth and knelt down near the young girl. I'd lived in New York for several years of my life so i didn't trust them 1 bit. I glared at the boy and he feined shock as the young girl told a story about them getting lost. Rome fell for it, the big softie, and gave the young girl a hug. I watched in utter disgust as my best friend comforted a complete stranger. In my periferal vision i noticed the boy smirk and wink at the girl. I saw a flash of white and pointy near the girl's mouth and pulled Rome away from as fast as i could. "What the-" Rome exclaimed before she saw the odd pair of strangers mouths open with large fangs in their mouths and glowing red eyes. In a few words: it scared the crap out of us. They came towards us slowly at first and then i felt the boy's breathe right at the nape of my neck. He whispered in my ear very seductively "Don't worry. I'll make everything better." He had a slightly old european accent that made his words all the more tempting. He placed his hands on my waist and pulled me back to him. i Leaned my head back and to the side, thus exposing my neck. He took 1 hand and stroked my neck lovingly. A chill unlike any other swept over me, and there was no breeze to credit that to. He put his lips to my neck and i lost all coherent thought. I'm sure that somewhere in my subconcious mind I was thinking "HOLY CRAP! HOLY CRAP! HOLY CRAP!" I felt a prickling sensation in my neck and leaned further into the boy's hard-as-a-rock body. Then came the pain. I yelped out in pain and then made a noise that was a cross between a moan of sexual ectasy and a sigh of bliss. It felt amazing and i dint want it to stop. We stayed like that for several minutes before i felt feverish and and faint. The boy left my neck and whispered in my ear "I'll be watching your growth my sweet." and was gone. I gathered myself and felt nautious. I stumbled over to a bush and threw up every meal i had in my stomach it seemed. When i was done i looked up to see Rome laying on the ground with what looked like a knife with a rose tied to it stuck through her heart. I screamed in terror and then took off in what i thought was the way we had come. when i arrived back at the spot we'd gone in i saw that it was late at night and all of our friends had left. I saw a fat jogger who was sweating a LOT. I felt an odd pull to his neck and that's when it all began. . .
