@The Edge@ (Part 1)
by Athena Nightshade
I raced through the woods. I didn’t know how far away I’d have to go to escape, but I did know what would happen if I didn’t. It was burned into my mind, permanent as a brand on cattle. If I didn’t get away I’d become part of what I most despised. I couldn’t see. I was blinded by my tears. The Others would escape. I thought desperately. They had to.
The siren cut screaming through the night. Blinding lights alternating colors erupted from the way I had come, only I could see it from this distance. My feet were torn and bloodied. I was far, but still not far enough, I would never be far enough. My lungs burned. I had to escape. We had to escape. Terror mounted, I never knew fear this strong. Terror that I would be captured, terror that the same fate would fall on the Others.
I woke up, choking on feathers.
“Get up! Get up! Get up!” Amy yelled, preparing to barrage me with pillows once more.
“I’m up!” I gasped. “I’M UP!”
“Good.” she said. “I was worried. It looked like you were having a bad dream.”
“So you tried to make it better by pummeling me with pillows.” I muttered annoyed.
“But really, are you okay?” she asked, looking at me in concern.
“Yeah,” I answered. “It was just a bad dream.” Just a bad memory. One of a reality that didn’t exist anymore. I wasn’t that terrified child any longer. I was Kay now, an ordinary college student, and my past had no impact on my life now. That’s what I try to tell myself but your past does have a way of sneaking up on you.

Oh... Well it's looking good. Would you like to fall in love with your "enemy" who was your childhood friend, and turns good to save you, or the Sansangre that was a loner, and who is willing to die for you. (I was thinking you would fall for the Sansangre.)
