So as I lay in a wet mass in the water I see the thing that has haunted me since the day I was there now with a thick fog around us. It was coming for me, for which reason I did not know but I think I had a hint on what it was so the reason I had came to this world. So it gave me a look I would have never have thought of it giving me so as I stay frozen in my spot struck scared. But it was not my only hint of emotion that I had for some reason if wanted to go to it but still baffled and scared I stayed there trying to think of what to do. So then as it was in my reach or I was in its I finally noticed that I was not breathing. So I take a breath in but take in the salty water that was fresh in my lungs that made it burn. I close my eyes thinking but not fast enough. It was there in front of me.
one
As I feel the hardness against my skin and the wet pavement under my limp body. Trying to move but not able to was a frustrating thing to me.
As I started to drizzle it shifted to a comfortable haze to a uncomforting stinging against my still soft fragile skin. The rain was getting harder and I was able to get up now still wondering where I was I looked around at the alley I was in. but why I was there was still a mystery to me. I walked up to a coming stranger to ask him where I was but all I could do is open my mouth but did a word, later, Or even a sound come out. . . No I was not able to talk but the man look at me smiled and slammed me against the nearest wall. As he lowered his head to me I could smell the bitterness of his breath wondering why me. I was able to say one word. Or at least scream it out. “No” I yelled as he tightened his grip on my wrists he was drunk coming closer to my neck. I closed my eyes. But before I did I saw his smile as wicked as his expressions. And then I noticed the extremely sharp upper teeth. Like. Like the fangs of a vampire. So that is when I closed my eyes. Waiting for the kill of the fangs. But all that happened was I was torn from his grip and hit a hard wall as the sound of a ripping was ringing in my ears so. . . I was always going to remember this night and this sound. Then for some reason it was all gone and I was asleep but I could tell someone was moving my body but we were moving so fast I thought we were flying. Then suddenly the air changed to a more relaxed calming air and then I truly passed out from the smell.
Then when I woke for the second time in the place I had passed out in and then there was this uncomfortable ruffle around my body and I was changed into a new stunning dress made of black silk. Then I remembered the alleyway and what I was wearing was a ripped ball gown that was covered in a substance that made me want to be sick to my stomach. Then when I got up onto my feet I started to walk in a straight line and twirl into a magnificent creature. Then as I concentrated on my legs when someone with a booming laugh and echo clapped. I stuttered to a stop and looked around the room I was in which I was now looking at in amazement and then to him.
He was stunning with his straight bronze hair that I wanted to look at forever but I moved down to his face he hade the most wonderful steal gray colored eyes. But what was I doing here what was I doing in that alley. But most of all who is this guy in front of me. He was wearing slakes and a button up shirt. So as he started towards me I stepped back and in a moment he was there at my side with his arms around me I was slumping back so I guess I was about to fall. so then he looks at me with a stern look on his face but yet a kind gentle smile. “Hello I’m Vladimir but that is not important right now. Your name is Kristin or if you like Devon both are your names, you are only 15 and in high school. I’m 16 so I will be going to your school.” but as I was still confused all I could say out of my scattered head was “what?” so then he was in front of me again and he had really black eyelashes it looked like new was wearing eyeliner and mascara. So then he said everything again with a little more detail that I was not confused this time. Their relived he was talking to me again. “so do you get everything now I’ll be your guide and escort and mostly“. Then he said something that Evan though I was not sure of anything but this. . . This was torture “I will be living here in this house with you.”. “wait I will be going to a school with you how will we get there?” I asked. He looked at me and shook his head, ”wow you don’t know anything.” he said in disbelief so then I looked out a vacant window to a machine that puzzled me in a little line path to a house that was made for it. “that’s a car that’s how we will get to school, and by the way your going to be late today if we don’t hurry.” then he picked me up in his arms carrying me like a princess up a rounding staircase that lead to a huge line of doors. We took a left and went into the second to the last door on the row. In the room was a king sized bed with a metal frame that looked like a wild vine was going up the poles that lead to a big over lace that was like a wall but yet so breakable. He moved the lace to put me on the bed. He went to a closet to get a lose looking shirt and some jeans. He faced me with a grin on his face and asked “are you able to get dressed by yourself or do I have to undress and dress you again?” he grinned bigger probably to the look I was sure was stretched all across my face he threw them at me and was quickly out of the room. I got dressed in my new outfit for today the left my room to see Vladimir slanting on the wall next to the last door not to mention the one right next to mine. “this is my room come in anytime you fell like it.” the again he gave me this grin that I was now started to love to see on his perfect face.
Then he picked me up while I was blinking and we were by the car that was a nice shade of dark green. On the way to my new day at ‘school’ which in fact I was so scared of especially not knowing what school was. But not wanting to get confused and wait till there to find out and be confused. So then it was in my sight a small looking yellowish building in a group. The people standing around was in huddles of different looking groups. As we pulled in to a spot between to yellow lines he turned of the car and got out. Turning back to me he said “wait I’ll get the door for you.” so as he got out I saw a dozen girls flutter around him. But interesting it was as if they were not even there by him or Evan in the same school as him. That kind of made a jolt of feeling that was interesting that I did not have yet I was glad to see him act like this to them. It was then when I noticed he was on my side now opening the door. When the other girls saw me and noticed my face I guess they all started to fleet back to the others in there group. Then again I felt glad. So as I started to get out of the car there was a group closest to us and they were wearing all matching outfits that made me want to be sick looking at them. ”the cheerleaders.”. he said now down to my ear. “so what is your official name hear Devon, or Kristin?”
“I’ll be called Kristin hear.”
“ok then. . . Kristin I’m at your command, and service.”
“well help me out for today with all this and I won’t totally. . .”
He started to look at me now with a question in his eyes now.
“never mind.” I said quickly. As a chime started to go off in an annoying way.
So as he grabbed my arm and dragged me to the first class he had told me about, and how he was in all of my classes.

So as he seated me down to a small looking table like thing with a chair connected to it. So I sat down feeling uncomfortable with the black lace against my skin and seat. So then the old lady was in the front of this room now talking so loud and muffled speak I could not understand. As I sat there for an hour and thirty minutes and the bell rang and so did the next two classes until lunch. So Vladimir got into a line and fine minutes later we were out of the line. Once again he grabbed my arm while balancing our lunch trays and then for some aperant reason bit my earlobe and kissed me on the on the lips. I could feel my face light up and everyone started to stare at me. . . Well us at least. So the only thing I could think of doing was to run like I always did I think running from my problems like the monster in my dreams. And the only place I could think of going was to a place I had spotted earlier when we were walking so I went there.
So as I got to the northern hall of the furthest building where the clubs were held after school so no one was there. I sat there alone and now started to realize how cold it was outside so I put my knees up to my chest which was very comforting and I would always do this when I was mad or sad or any reason really. So then the hot water ran down my checks and wondering when this has started and when I would ever curl up my knees to my chest but it was nice still. So that’s when a girl came up and asked me “What’s wrong and why are you here?”. I looked up to see a girl she looked my age and everything. She looked exactly like me, dark brown hair with it brushed over her face with a nice lips and slim body. But her eyes were different that mine. Hers were a nice chocolate crème brown while mine were like a haze of golden brown with a tint of gold. “I don’t know I’m sorry I’m here I should go now”. so then as I got up and started to go she grabbed me by the forearm. “no stay I want to be your friend, your new right?”. I smiled and nodded so then she told me all her classes and about the school. Then she said that she was there at the lunchroom and that when my face turned red with embarrassment from the memory. “Sorry, to much? Ok so lastly now I remember my name is Heaven”. so then we started to walk down the hall but now we were quiet. that’s when it happened he showed up with an apologetically look on his face. Vlad was. Was. Was actually very cute at this moment. But I needed to get over this feeling that I was experiencing so much today. “I’m sorry please don’t be upset at me”. he said with the look growing deeper on his face. that’s when he noticed heaven on my side now. As she smiled at him he quickly interfaced her with a glaring eye but a smile that did not seem to be the same at the least. ”hello nice to meet you”. ”same to you”. as heaven turned to me she asked “ hey do you want to go to my house since its already late and all?” “sorry I think I have to go home for today since I’m new and all.”. so we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways to our cars. Vladimir opened the car door for me again but before I could get in he was in on his side already which confused me to an extreme. But I let it be for now.
So we were now in a forest of trees and wildlife on a road that looked familiar. It was the way back to that house. I do not remember how I got here so fast but still I guess I dozed off on the way here. So that’s when I saw it a rundown old church. It was amazing to see. It was so beautiful. So I started to stare at it but it was a building so it didn’t mater as much as much. So I knew I would go there to check it out more closely. We hauled to a stop to a mansion which was right next to the church. I was amazed that I did not have to walk far from the house. So once again amazed by how fast Vladimir was to my side already picking me up getting my attention from a trance. So how many times was I going to be amazed I had a headache now because of all of this. It was all very confusing to me. So then we were at the front of the house and the door was opening but Vladimir was not doing this to my surprise it was someone who looked identical to Vladimir. ”Hello there” brother the one said to Vladimir, he spoke again.” so this must be Devon since your school name is Kristin, I’m Joseph or you can call me josh if you like.” then he started to smile I was on my own feet again which made me happy I don’t like to be picked up. “and hello Vlad nice to see ya.” he said diving at. . . Did he just call him Vlad? So now this was confusing me so I decided to let them be I would check out the house but now I wanted to see the church. So I started to walk and it seemed that they did not notice since they both were locked up in neck holds. So not even ten steps away I bumped into the wall of the church, then I went to the front of the church it was very old. It was defiantly abandoned long ago so I looked more at the features of the structure of the building and I liked the way it was destined with some Greek pillars and Italian stained glass windows with many different colors mixed together. And the stone framing of the doors were also made of the same white stone as the pillars, the framing was also either Greek or Italian I could not tell which. I went up to touch the chalky pillars and they were ice cold but I did not automatically pull away it was the opposite I wanted to be closer to the strange coldness. But before I did I pulled back because it felt like I was losing some control for some reason. So that’s when I was looking up at the sky when I noticed the long tower erupting from the front of the church that connected to the roof. It had a large cross coming from the tower too. So now I knew I had lost control of my body and let my mind roam my body felt limp to but when I saw something at the cross on the left side. I looked more closely to see if it was right now I was focusing on the object like a woman on the cross.

So now was interested so I went to the church doors to see if they were unlocked to my surprise so I went in. I saw the gigantic door to the right corner of the building and now and I assumed it was to the staircase. So I went in and it was the staircase I think I walked up twelve flights of step before I got to the door where the door lead to the roof of the tower. I went out to see a ladder to the cross. Amazed quit again the woman is still there. I went to go up the ladder, then I went up to where the woman was to see her so close now I saw that she was about my age.” what are you doing up here” I said even thought it was windy down there it was like there was no wind or air up here at all. She looked at me confused like me but her emotions changed that instant that was weird to me.” hello my name is Chrona” she said to me in a look of which was both depressed and yet surprised. “do you want to be my friend?” I said to her. Now that I look at her, she had short uneven pink hair with bangs but her eyes where gray and roamed a lot of the time I was looking at her.” I’m don’t know about this” she said looking down. I went to sit by her to see if she was ok. “well please” I said to her. Still looking away she said “fine”. that’s when she started to cry and it caught me of guard. I started to comfort her a little. She stopped crying for now. “ I still don’t know how to deal with this”. that’s when I noticed I had something in my pocket. I took it out to see what it was. On the package was a letter with Devon on it. I opened it said *this is gum you chew it -love josh* I looked at it some more it said on the package *stride* . So I took two out and handed one to Chrona she just looked at it the put it in a pocket of her black dress with a white collar that covered her entire neck that was very long. She was incredibly skinny. She was my age too. So it was now that I noticed that someone was yelling my name at the bottom of the church. “I have to go” I said to Chrona. She looked at me again.” I’ll take you down there” she said. She stood up with me wrapped her arms around me. Then she did something I wish I would have at least been prepared for or even her not have done. . . She jumped from the cross and we were falling to the ground which did not seem so fast or at least I think it was not very fast. But we were falling head first but then are feet were to the ground now. Then we were on the ground with as much ease as we had fallen. That when I saw Vladimir standing with his back to us like he did not notice us fall he turned around from the sound of Chrona’s moan of her cut on her hand. But the thing that surprised me was that she was bleeding black blood of all things. But then it was gone. It seemed like Vladimir did not notice anything. “what are you doing where were you?!” he said in a frantic range which confused me why. “I made another friend so I don’t know what I was doing I just wanted to see the church here” I said to him but then I remembered that Chrona was right next to me so then I said, “Oh yeah this is Chrona my new friend, oh yeah Chrona where do you live?” as she replied I was awestruck with her answer “um I don’t know how to deal with this, I don’t live anywhere.” as soon as she said this one thing came to mind, “how about you live with us there’s room there right Vladimir?” “I don’t thick so but if you want I can try to get her in the mansion there are a lot of people in there so far so once again ill say this I’ll try.” so once again to the point I said “how many are living in the mansion so far?”
“um I think there are a total of three people living there, you, josh, and I are living there so far so yes she can live with us I guess but only for you I’m doing this.” he said. So I hugged Chrona but then she started to cry again but only for a minute thou this time it was shorter than last. I was so happy now that I started to cry now but that’s when I started to feel weak in my legs now. So that’s when I felt my legs about to go out in my knees that’s when I heard a low gasp from both Chrona and Vladimir. So I guessed I was bad now but I wouldn’t know now cause that’s when I passed out in a blackout.
I woke up in a haze of light but yet was dark all around so when my eyes were adjusting I felt a warm liquid going down my cheek but most went into my mouth afraid what it was for some reason I don’t know why swallowed it. So looking around with my still hazed eyes I sat up to see where I was now without knowing exactly what I was drinking now but it helped me because I felt better than ever. So now I could now sew where I was exactly it was the room I was in earlier today when I woke up from whatever had happened to me. So it must have been my new room. and over my staring down on me was Chrona and Vladimir even josh was there to but he was across the room with a cloth around his wrist that was not there before. He was texting on his phone, but he was not as happy and looks depressed. But then he gave me a sympathetic smile then looked away. I looked at Vladimir as he was still staring at me which kind of scary. “so what’s up?” I asked As I looked at him. then still with the face he was making he said “you passed out in front of the church you scared me half to death”. “ hey so what did I drink anyway” I said silently and quickly. Now looking back to josh with his wrist bandage. Once again he looked at me with a fake smile which made me a little depressed now. “oh its just some wine that we have around since we have a vineyard outback so yeah” Vladimir said getting my attention back to him. “ fine then” I said. Getting up more and more till I was now on my feet but still leaning against the bed. “um you shouldn’t get up yet” Chrona said to me in a worried voice. But to late for the words of wisdom I was up on my feet but immediately started to fall but josh was so quick to catch me I was seeing the room spin now all around me then once again it was now getting old I was in a deep sleep in the darkest depths of my mind I was tired of passing out for today.

So when I woke for the second time I was in a bed I was this morning. With a stunning silver posts and stand with more black silk bed spread. But the thing that got m attention is that the person next to me was Vladimir laying there with his soft breathing coming from his mouth but the scent was stronger off his skin that was whiter than josh had been when I woke from my first black out. So feeling my face turn a scarlet red I got up and did what was best for the time to leave. But as I left him there he started to talk in his deep sleep “ no please I love you miss . . .” then it faded in to a whisper in which I could not hear but then there was pain on his face but with a little hint it was gone but I swear before it was gone I saw I scar rise on his face to make his soft skin look ragged. So that’s when his flashed open but then as quickly as they where open they where closed again. So I left the room. But bored where I was I went for the front door. So in the church to the right so I went to the left to my everlasting surprise there was a graveyard but it was not as scary as I thought it would have looked. So I went to the back of it to a bench that I sat on it. But there was more of these benches now that I could see them but there was a figure of in the distance. How many people would I meet today by my curious wandering. So by instinct I went over to the body on the bench with her eyes open now look at me with the depths of pure grayish white irises. So then with a strange smirk she was up now up behind me and then she gave a little giggle and gave me a small kiss to the check and wrapped her arms around my torso. She let go finally to look me in the eyes but now she was giggling again. Now I had a better look at her. She had white hair with bangs that only showed one eye but the and of the other side at the bottom was black hair that was fading to the white. And the rest of her hair that puffed out and went to her shoulders. But she was wearing a dress that was black and green dress that had cut across her chest but there were green fabric that was made of the same thing as her dress but I thick string connected to each other and a choker around her neck that connected to her dress. But the dress did have patches gone from it. With some ballet slippers on.
“ Hello there miss may I help you with some thing my name is Anne.”
“ No I don’t think so I was just wondering what was here.”
“ Well here you are and here is here. But now where will you go?”
“ I don’t know but my name is Devon or Kristin I really don’t care what thou so what are you doing here anyways, do you live here?”
“ do you always ask so many questions or is just to me that you do this too? And yes I live here but no I will not tell you why I’m here.”
“ ok I’m sorry well why don’t you live with me at the mansion right over the hill there?”
“ hymn I don’t know yet but let me think about it but I guess there is no saying no in this conversation so yes I’d love to.”
So I smiled as she walked closer to me as she smirked at me with a cat like look to it. So I put my hand in my pocket to see if the gum was still there but was not. Instead was a necklace. But once again was a note that said it was a candy necklace so I opened the package. But as I opened it I decided to give it to Anne. I handed it to her and explained it to her. As I handed it to her she stuck one piece in her mouth and started to giggle again then she gave me quick hug. But then she took my hand and started to run so that we could get to the house quicker. So I let it be for now my only worry was what would Vlad If I could call him that would say.
So that’s when we finally got to the front wooden doors that seemed to tower over us in the night. And seemed to leave a strange shadow but the thing that bothered me the most was that I felt like I was being watched with hate filled eyes. But I saw no one out in my sight. So we went inside to the now very bright house with a chandelier. But I now saw that all three of the people who lived in the mansion so far other than Anne. So all of them were now looking at me with eyes that looked normal but except for Vladimir’s who’s eyes looked more intense that burned me to my core. His eyes were looking worried but yet they looked frustrated. But then looking at the others they were now looking at Anne. So now getting more intense atmosphere I said “ this is my new friend Anne I met her in the graveyard where she lived so I invited her to live with us so if it’s ok?” but they just stared at us. Josh was the first to speak up with a laugh threatening his word “ ok, ok, ok it’s fine with me so I’ll be going back to sleep now, bye!”
Then I started for the stair when I noticed Chrona was smiling at me and heeded up the stairs to her room. But Vladimir was still looking at me so it was kind of scary. So once again Anne and I heeded up the stairs to my room where we could go to sleep for now. But vlad said something that caught me off guard. “I’ll see you later miss.” that reminded me of the time I left him sleeping in my bed. So I had to flinch but I went on to my room still holding Anne’s hand all the way there. But when we got there I started towards my bed to lay down and never get up. But then Anne was in front of me with her arms around my back to give me a hug but still I was scared that she was going to kiss me again but still she picked me up and carried me to my bed like a princess. So as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out of it all. I was starting to get more dizzy. But now I was falling into my sleep tonight so I let it be for now.
So as I woke up the next morning in a blur the motion made me more dizzy than last night. But the one thing that was hard for me was that I could tell what was happening around me. But Anne was moving in a fast and gentle glides around the room but still it was all confusing. But then I fount myself asking her “How are you doing that? But one thing first did you even sleep”? but to her Quick all so sleek reply “No I don’t sleep.”
“at all”
“no not at all I’ not a creature of sleep”
“But that’s not right I’m confused by your accusation.”
“Really do tell.”
But that was the end of that conversation so I moved on to they next problem.

So as I got dressed that morning Vlad yelled up to my room in a loud voice “It’s time for school come on”. But I forgot so I grabbed the closest flats that would go with the red satin dress that I put on. Just as I was leaving my room I was wondering what Anne was going to do while I was gone, also what about Chrona? I was walking to the front door when I saw Chrona standing by the door looking as shy as ever, in a voice of shyness she said “It’s time to go to school and Vladimir thinks it would be best if I would go to with you”. I nodded at her with eyes that I tried to make look with honest awe, but I went with her to the car where Vladimir was waiting in the car with the engine running. As we started to slide in when he already started moving the back out of the driveway. Just as I was about to argue with him I saw his face in the rear view mirror but his face made me stumble over my words. His expression was not bland or even worried but. . . Anger? that’s what made me confused but I stayed quiet to what was my curiosity. To my surprise we were already at school and I was the only one left in the car. But the worst thing I just noticed was that the late bell had just rung. So I started to run to my first period class, when I saw something at the corner of my eye so I stopped to look. But what I saw was just a boy about my age. “Hey there what is your name”?
“Alistair, what’s yours”?
“Devon I guess but if you hear people talking about my other name is Kristin”.
Alistair just smiled at me in a cunning sly smile that kind of creped me out at first. But to my surprise he asked me “Do you want to ditch school and come with me to a special place of mine”?
“sure but where is that”?
“I cant tell you that just come with me”?
So I went with him but I was still a little worried. But I still went. just then I saw what he was wearing, it looked kind of the stuff I saw kids wearing around school but this was different. So I just let it go. But now I was in the car but I don’t know how. Now on the way to the surprise place I noticed that Vladimir did not know but I don’t think he would mind. So I went on my way to the place
Now that we were there I noticed it looked way to familiar to past experiences. And when I looked around I saw that it was the base of the church right next to my mansion like house

As I feel the hardness against my skin and the wet pavement under my limp body. Trying to move but not able to was a frustrating thing to me.
As I started to drizzle it shifted to a comfortable haze to a uncomforting stinging against my still soft fragile skin. The rain was getting harder and I was able to get up now still wondering where I was I looked around at the alley I was in. but why I was there was still a mystery to me. I walked up to a coming stranger to ask him where I was but all I could do is open my mouth but did a word, later, Or even a sound come out. . . No I was not able to talk but the man look at me smiled and slammed me against the nearest wall. As he lowered his head to me I could smell the bitterness of his breath wondering why me. I was able to say one word. Or at least scream it out. “No” I yelled as he tightened his grip on my wrists he was drunk coming closer to my neck. I closed my eyes. But before I did I saw his smile as wicked as his expressions. And then I noticed the extremely sharp upper teeth. Like. Like the fangs of a vampire. So that is when I closed my eyes. Waiting for the kill of the fangs. But all that happened was I was torn from his grip and hit a hard wall as the sound of a ripping was ringing in my ears so. . . I was always going to remember this night and this sound. Then for some reason it was all gone and I was asleep but I could tell someone was moving my body but we were moving so fast I thought we were flying. Then suddenly the air changed to a more relaxed calming air and then I truly passed out from the smell.
Then when I woke for the second time in the place I had passed out in and then there was this uncomfortable ruffle around my body and I was changed into a new stunning dress made of black silk. Then I remembered the alleyway and what I was wearing was a ripped ball gown that was covered in a substance that made me want to be sick to my stomach. Then when I got up onto my feet I started to walk in a straight line and twirl into a magnificent creature. Then as I concentrated on my legs when someone with a booming laugh and echo clapped. I stuttered to a stop and looked around the room I was in which I was now looking at in amazement and then to him.
He was stunning with his straight bronze hair that I wanted to look at forever but I moved down to his face he hade the most wonderful steal gray colored eyes. But what was I doing here what was I doing in that alley. But most of all who is this guy in front of me. He was wearing slakes and a button up shirt. So as he started towards me I stepped back and in a moment he was there at my side with his arms around me I was slumping back so I guess I was about to fall. so then he looks at me with a stern look on his face but yet a kind gentle smile. “Hello I’m Vladimir but that is not important right now. Your name is Kristin or if you like Devon both are your names, you are only 15 and in high school. I’m 16 so I will be going to your school.” but as I was still confused all I could say out of my scattered head was “what?” so then he was in front of me again and he had really black eyelashes it looked like new was wearing eyeliner and mascara. So then he said everything again with a little more detail that I was not confused this time. Their relived he was talking to me again. “so do you get everything now I’ll be your guide and escort and mostly“. Then he said something that Evan though I was not sure of anything but this. . . This was torture “I will be living here in this house with you.”. “wait I will be going to a school with you how will we get there?” I asked. He looked at me and shook his head, ”wow you don’t know anything.” he said in disbelief so then I looked out a vacant window to a machine that puzzled me in a little line path to a house that was made for it. “that’s a car that’s how we will get to school, and by the way your going to be late today if we don’t hurry.” then he picked me up in his arms carrying me like a princess up a rounding staircase that lead to a huge line of doors. We took a left and went into the second to the last door on the row. In the room was a king sized bed with a metal frame that looked like a wild vine was going up the poles that lead to a big over lace that was like a wall but yet so breakable. He moved the lace to put me on the bed. He went to a closet to get a lose looking shirt and some jeans. He faced me with a grin on his face and asked “are you able to get dressed by yourself or do I have to undress and dress you again?” he grinned bigger probably to the look I was sure was stretched all across my face he threw them at me and was quickly out of the room. I got dressed in my new outfit for today the left my room to see Vladimir slanting on the wall next to the last door not to mention the one right next to mine. “this is my room come in anytime you fell like it.” the again he gave me this grin that I was now started to love to see on his perfect face.
Then he picked me up while I was blinking and we were by the car that was a nice shade of dark green. On the way to my new day at ‘school’ which in fact I was so scared of especially not knowing what school was. But not wanting to get confused and wait till there to find out and be confused. So then it was in my sight a small looking yellowish building in a group. The people standing around was in huddles of different looking groups. As we pulled in to a spot between to yellow lines he turned of the car and got out. Turning back to me he said “wait I’ll get the door for you.” so as he got out I saw a dozen girls flutter around him. But interesting it was as if they were not even there by him or Evan in the same school as him. That kind of made a jolt of feeling that was interesting that I did not have yet I was glad to see him act like this to them. It was then when I noticed he was on my side now opening the door. When the other girls saw me and noticed my face I guess they all started to fleet back to the others in there group. Then again I felt glad. So as I started to get out of the car there was a group closest to us and they were wearing all matching outfits that made me want to be sick looking at them. ”the cheerleaders.”. he said now down to my ear. “so what is your official name hear Devon, or Kristin?”
“I’ll be called Kristin hear.”
“ok then. . . Kristin I’m at your command, and service.”
“well help me out for today with all this and I won’t totally. . .”
He started to look at me now with a question in his eyes now.
“never mind.” I said quickly. As a chime started to go off in an annoying way.
So as he grabbed my arm and dragged me to the first class he had told me about, and how he was in all of my classes.

So as he seated me down to a small looking table like thing with a chair connected to it. So I sat down feeling uncomfortable with the black lace against my skin and seat. So then the old lady was in the front of this room now talking so loud and muffled speak I could not understand. As I sat there for an hour and thirty minutes and the bell rang and so did the next two classes until lunch. So Vladimir got into a line and fine minutes later we were out of the line. Once again he grabbed my arm while balancing our lunch trays and then for some aperant reason bit my earlobe and kissed me on the on the lips. I could feel my face light up and everyone started to stare at me. . . Well us at least. So the only thing I could think of doing was to run like I always did I think running from my problems like the monster in my dreams. And the only place I could think of going was to a place I had spotted earlier when we were walking so I went there.
So as I got to the northern hall of the furthest building where the clubs were held after school so no one was there. I sat there alone and now started to realize how cold it was outside so I put my knees up to my chest which was very comforting and I would always do this when I was mad or sad or any reason really. So then the hot water ran down my checks and wondering when this has started and when I would ever curl up my knees to my chest but it was nice still. So that’s when a girl came up and asked me “What’s wrong and why are you here?”. I looked up to see a girl she looked my age and everything. She looked exactly like me, dark brown hair with it brushed over her face with a nice lips and slim body. But her eyes were different that mine. Hers were a nice chocolate crème brown while mine were like a haze of golden brown with a tint of gold. “I don’t know I’m sorry I’m here I should go now”. so then as I got up and started to go she grabbed me by the forearm. “no stay I want to be your friend, your new right?”. I smiled and nodded so then she told me all her classes and about the school. Then she said that she was there at the lunchroom and that when my face turned red with embarrassment from the memory. “Sorry, to much? Ok so lastly now I remember my name is Heaven”. so then we started to walk down the hall but now we were quiet. that’s when it happened he showed up with an apologetically look on his face. Vlad was. Was. Was actually very cute at this moment. But I needed to get over this feeling that I was experiencing so much today. “I’m sorry please don’t be upset at me”. he said with the look growing deeper on his face. that’s when he noticed heaven on my side now. As she smiled at him he quickly interfaced her with a glaring eye but a smile that did not seem to be the same at the least. ”hello nice to meet you”. ”same to you”. as heaven turned to me she asked “ hey do you want to go to my house since its already late and all?” “sorry I think I have to go home for today since I’m new and all.”. so we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways to our cars. Vladimir opened the car door for me again but before I could get in he was in on his side already which confused me to an extreme. But I let it be for now.
So we were now in a forest of trees and wildlife on a road that looked familiar. It was the way back to that house. I do not remember how I got here so fast but still I guess I dozed off on the way here. So that’s when I saw it a rundown old church. It was amazing to see. It was so beautiful. So I started to stare at it but it was a building so it didn’t mater as much as much. So I knew I would go there to check it out more closely. We hauled to a stop to a mansion which was right next to the church. I was amazed that I did not have to walk far from the house. So once again amazed by how fast Vladimir was to my side already picking me up getting my attention from a trance. So how many times was I going to be amazed I had a headache now because of all of this. It was all very confusing to me. So then we were at the front of the house and the door was opening but Vladimir was not doing this to my surprise it was someone who looked identical to Vladimir. ”Hello there” brother the one said to Vladimir, he spoke again.” so this must be Devon since your school name is Kristin, I’m Joseph or you can call me josh if you like.” then he started to smile I was on my own feet again which made me happy I don’t like to be picked up. “and hello Vlad nice to see ya.” he said diving at. . . Did he just call him Vlad? So now this was confusing me so I decided to let them be I would check out the house but now I wanted to see the church. So I started to walk and it seemed that they did not notice since they both were locked up in neck holds. So not even ten steps away I bumped into the wall of the church, then I went to the front of the church it was very old. It was defiantly abandoned long ago so I looked more at the features of the structure of the building and I liked the way it was destined with some Greek pillars and Italian stained glass windows with many different colors mixed together. And the stone framing of the doors were also made of the same white stone as the pillars, the framing was also either Greek or Italian I could not tell which. I went up to touch the chalky pillars and they were ice cold but I did not automatically pull away it was the opposite I wanted to be closer to the strange coldness. But before I did I pulled back because it felt like I was losing some control for some reason. So that’s when I was looking up at the sky when I noticed the long tower erupting from the front of the church that connected to the roof. It had a large cross coming from the tower too. So now I knew I had lost control of my body and let my mind roam my body felt limp to but when I saw something at the cross on the left side. I looked more closely to see if it was right now I was focusing on the object like a woman on the cross.

So now was interested so I went to the church doors to see if they were unlocked to my surprise so I went in. I saw the gigantic door to the right corner of the building and now and I assumed it was to the staircase. So I went in and it was the staircase I think I walked up twelve flights of step before I got to the door where the door lead to the roof of the tower. I went out to see a ladder to the cross. Amazed quit again the woman is still there. I went to go up the ladder, then I went up to where the woman was to see her so close now I saw that she was about my age.” what are you doing up here” I said even thought it was windy down there it was like there was no wind or air up here at all. She looked at me confused like me but her emotions changed that instant that was weird to me.” hello my name is Chrona” she said to me in a look of which was both depressed and yet surprised. “do you want to be my friend?” I said to her. Now that I look at her, she had short uneven pink hair with bangs but her eyes where gray and roamed a lot of the time I was looking at her.” I’m don’t know about this” she said looking down. I went to sit by her to see if she was ok. “well please” I said to her. Still looking away she said “fine”. that’s when she started to cry and it caught me of guard. I started to comfort her a little. She stopped crying for now. “ I still don’t know how to deal with this”. that’s when I noticed I had something in my pocket. I took it out to see what it was. On the package was a letter with Devon on it. I opened it said *this is gum you chew it -love josh* I looked at it some more it said on the package *stride* . So I took two out and handed one to Chrona she just looked at it the put it in a pocket of her black dress with a white collar that covered her entire neck that was very long. She was incredibly skinny. She was my age too. So it was now that I noticed that someone was yelling my name at the bottom of the church. “I have to go” I said to Chrona. She looked at me again.” I’ll take you down there” she said. She stood up with me wrapped her arms around me. Then she did something I wish I would have at least been prepared for or even her not have done. . . She jumped from the cross and we were falling to the ground which did not seem so fast or at least I think it was not very fast. But we were falling head first but then are feet were to the ground now. Then we were on the ground with as much ease as we had fallen. That when I saw Vladimir standing with his back to us like he did not notice us fall he turned around from the sound of Chrona’s moan of her cut on her hand. But the thing that surprised me was that she was bleeding black blood of all things. But then it was gone. It seemed like Vladimir did not notice anything. “what are you doing where were you?!” he said in a frantic range which confused me why. “I made another friend so I don’t know what I was doing I just wanted to see the church here” I said to him but then I remembered that Chrona was right next to me so then I said, “Oh yeah this is Chrona my new friend, oh yeah Chrona where do you live?” as she replied I was awestruck with her answer “um I don’t know how to deal with this, I don’t live anywhere.” as soon as she said this one thing came to mind, “how about you live with us there’s room there right Vladimir?” “I don’t thick so but if you want I can try to get her in the mansion there are a lot of people in there so far so once again ill say this I’ll try.” so once again to the point I said “how many are living in the mansion so far?”
“um I think there are a total of three people living there, you, josh, and I are living there so far so yes she can live with us I guess but only for you I’m doing this.” he said. So I hugged Chrona but then she started to cry again but only for a minute thou this time it was shorter than last. I was so happy now that I started to cry now but that’s when I started to feel weak in my legs now. So that’s when I felt my legs about to go out in my knees that’s when I heard a low gasp from both Chrona and Vladimir. So I guessed I was bad now but I wouldn’t know now cause that’s when I passed out in a blackout.
I woke up in a haze of light but yet was dark all around so when my eyes were adjusting I felt a warm liquid going down my cheek but most went into my mouth afraid what it was for some reason I don’t know why swallowed it. So looking around with my still hazed eyes I sat up to see where I was now without knowing exactly what I was drinking now but it helped me because I felt better than ever. So now I could now sew where I was exactly it was the room I was in earlier today when I woke up from whatever had happened to me. So it must have been my new room. and over my staring down on me was Chrona and Vladimir even josh was there to but he was across the room with a cloth around his wrist that was not there before. He was texting on his phone, but he was not as happy and looks depressed. But then he gave me a sympathetic smile then looked away. I looked at Vladimir as he was still staring at me which kind of scary. “so what’s up?” I asked As I looked at him. then still with the face he was making he said “you passed out in front of the church you scared me half to death”. “ hey so what did I drink anyway” I said silently and quickly. Now looking back to josh with his wrist bandage. Once again he looked at me with a fake smile which made me a little depressed now. “oh its just some wine that we have around since we have a vineyard outback so yeah” Vladimir said getting my attention back to him. “ fine then” I said. Getting up more and more till I was now on my feet but still leaning against the bed. “um you shouldn’t get up yet” Chrona said to me in a worried voice. But to late for the words of wisdom I was up on my feet but immediately started to fall but josh was so quick to catch me I was seeing the room spin now all around me then once again it was now getting old I was in a deep sleep in the darkest depths of my mind I was tired of passing out for today.

So when I woke for the second time I was in a bed I was this morning. With a stunning silver posts and stand with more black silk bed spread. But the thing that got m attention is that the person next to me was Vladimir laying there with his soft breathing coming from his mouth but the scent was stronger off his skin that was whiter than josh had been when I woke from my first black out. So feeling my face turn a scarlet red I got up and did what was best for the time to leave. But as I left him there he started to talk in his deep sleep “ no please I love you miss . . .” then it faded in to a whisper in which I could not hear but then there was pain on his face but with a little hint it was gone but I swear before it was gone I saw I scar rise on his face to make his soft skin look ragged. So that’s when his flashed open but then as quickly as they where open they where closed again. So I left the room. But bored where I was I went for the front door. So in the church to the right so I went to the left to my everlasting surprise there was a graveyard but it was not as scary as I thought it would have looked. So I went to the back of it to a bench that I sat on it. But there was more of these benches now that I could see them but there was a figure of in the distance. How many people would I meet today by my curious wandering. So by instinct I went over to the body on the bench with her eyes open now look at me with the depths of pure grayish white irises. So then with a strange smirk she was up now up behind me and then she gave a little giggle and gave me a small kiss to the check and wrapped her arms around my torso. She let go finally to look me in the eyes but now she was giggling again. Now I had a better look at her. She had white hair with bangs that only showed one eye but the and of the other side at the bottom was black hair that was fading to the white. And the rest of her hair that puffed out and went to her shoulders. But she was wearing a dress that was black and green dress that had cut across her chest but there were green fabric that was made of the same thing as her dress but I thick string connected to each other and a choker around her neck that connected to her dress. But the dress did have patches gone from it. With some ballet slippers on.
“ Hello there miss may I help you with some thing my name is Anne.”
“ No I don’t think so I was just wondering what was here.”
“ Well here you are and here is here. But now where will you go?”
“ I don’t know but my name is Devon or Kristin I really don’t care what thou so what are you doing here anyways, do you live here?”
“ do you always ask so many questions or is just to me that you do this too? And yes I live here but no I will not tell you why I’m here.”
“ ok I’m sorry well why don’t you live with me at the mansion right over the hill there?”
“ hymn I don’t know yet but let me think about it but I guess there is no saying no in this conversation so yes I’d love to.”
So I smiled as she walked closer to me as she smirked at me with a cat like look to it. So I put my hand in my pocket to see if the gum was still there but was not. Instead was a necklace. But once again was a note that said it was a candy necklace so I opened the package. But as I opened it I decided to give it to Anne. I handed it to her and explained it to her. As I handed it to her she stuck one piece in her mouth and started to giggle again then she gave me quick hug. But then she took my hand and started to run so that we could get to the house quicker. So I let it be for now my only worry was what would Vlad If I could call him that would say.
So that’s when we finally got to the front wooden doors that seemed to tower over us in the night. And seemed to leave a strange shadow but the thing that bothered me the most was that I felt like I was being watched with hate filled eyes. But I saw no one out in my sight. So we went inside to the now very bright house with a chandelier. But I now saw that all three of the people who lived in the mansion so far other than Anne. So all of them were now looking at me with eyes that looked normal but except for Vladimir’s who’s eyes looked more intense that burned me to my core. His eyes were looking worried but yet they looked frustrated. But then looking at the others they were now looking at Anne. So now getting more intense atmosphere I said “ this is my new friend Anne I met her in the graveyard where she lived so I invited her to live with us so if it’s ok?” but they just stared at us. Josh was the first to speak up with a laugh threatening his word “ ok, ok, ok it’s fine with me so I’ll be going back to sleep now, bye!”
Then I started for the stair when I noticed Chrona was smiling at me and heeded up the stairs to her room. But Vladimir was still looking at me so it was kind of scary. So once again Anne and I heeded up the stairs to my room where we could go to sleep for now. But vlad said something that caught me off guard. “I’ll see you later miss.” that reminded me of the time I left him sleeping in my bed. So I had to flinch but I went on to my room still holding Anne’s hand all the way there. But when we got there I started towards my bed to lay down and never get up. But then Anne was in front of me with her arms around my back to give me a hug but still I was scared that she was going to kiss me again but still she picked me up and carried me to my bed like a princess. So as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out of it all. I was starting to get more dizzy. But now I was falling into my sleep tonight so I let it be for now.
So as I woke up the next morning in a blur the motion made me more dizzy than last night. But the one thing that was hard for me was that I could tell what was happening around me. But Anne was moving in a fast and gentle glides around the room but still it was all confusing. But then I fount myself asking her “How are you doing that? But one thing first did you even sleep”? but to her Quick all so sleek reply “No I don’t sleep.”
“at all”
“no not at all I’ not a creature of sleep”
“But that’s not right I’m confused by your accusation.”
“Really do tell.”
But that was the end of that conversation so I moved on to they next problem.

So as I got dressed that morning Vlad yelled up to my room in a loud voice “It’s time for school come on”. But I forgot so I grabbed the closest flats that would go with the red satin dress that I put on. Just as I was leaving my room I was wondering what Anne was going to do while I was gone, also what about Chrona? I was walking to the front door when I saw Chrona standing by the door looking as shy as ever, in a voice of shyness she said “It’s time to go to school and Vladimir thinks it would be best if I would go to with you”. I nodded at her with eyes that I tried to make look with honest awe, but I went with her to the car where Vladimir was waiting in the car with the engine running. As we started to slide in when he already started moving the back out of the driveway. Just as I was about to argue with him I saw his face in the rear view mirror but his face made me stumble over my words. His expression was not bland or even worried but. . . Anger? that’s what made me confused but I stayed quiet to what was my curiosity. To my surprise we were already at school and I was the only one left in the car. But the worst thing I just noticed was that the late bell had just rung. So I started to run to my first period class, when I saw something at the corner of my eye so I stopped to look. But what I saw was just a boy about my age. “Hey there what is your name”?
“Alistair, what’s yours”?
“Devon I guess but if you hear people talking about my other name is Kristin”.
Alistair just smiled at me in a cunning sly smile that kind of creped me out at first. But to my surprise he asked me “Do you want to ditch school and come with me to a special place of mine”?
“sure but where is that”?
“I cant tell you that just come with me”?
So I went with him but I was still a little worried. But I still went. just then I saw what he was wearing, it looked kind of the stuff I saw kids wearing around school but this was different. So I just let it go. But now I was in the car but I don’t know how. Now on the way to the surprise place I noticed that Vladimir did not know but I don’t think he would mind. So I went on my way to the place
Now that we were there I noticed it looked way to familiar to past experiences. And when I looked around I saw that it was the base of the church right next to my mansion like house
