The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I ate dinner with my family said goodbye to cheyenne and said goodnight to Amber before I went to my room. I went to my desk opened my laptop and turned it on. The yahoo messnger window popped up after it signed me in. I had messages, I opened a window to my mail to read my messages. One caught my attention. It was from and old friend from highschool, he moved right after highschool and I hadn't seen him since. This random message from him surprised me comletely.





Dear Katie,



It's been about 3 or four years. How have you been? When I left it wasn't because I didn't want to be friends, it was something else. I went through something that made my life completely different. I wanted to tell you that I was leaving before I did, but it was too dangerous. I didn't want anyone to figure out where I went. That's why I'm sending you a message instead of calling you. I still don't want to risk you getting put in danger because you know me or have heard from me. I just want you to know that I miss you and if you want you can reply to this message and we can keep in contact. Promise me you won't try to find out where I went, please.



With love,



Lamar mason





By the time I got done reading the message I had started crying. I missed Lamar too, more than he knew. I sat at my desk for an hour trying to figure out what to say to him. I wrote down several different messages before I finally figured out what I wanted to say. I pulled the window back up and went to compose new message.





Dear Lamar,



Yes it has been a long time. I've been great, I'm now going to a culinary arts school. To tell you the truth I was deeply hurt when you left without saying goodbye. I didn't know if I'd ever see you again. It is great to hear from you, but I'm wondering why, after almost 4 years, you suddenly got in touch with me again. What made you contact me. I've been seeing weird things happen. I've been having these weird dreams about someone i met recently. I went to the libraryto look up the meaning but all I got from that was that my dream menant that I was falling for this person. If you have anything you can tell me or would like to know feel free to ask.



Sincerely,



Katie Ledbetter





I sent the message and turned off my computer. My computer made a sound as it was logging off and shutting down. I put it away and went to sit on my bed. I looked in my draw to see if my diary was still there, and it was so i pulled it out and opened to a new page. In my diary I wrote:



Dear Diary,



Today is June 13th, one day before my birthday. Sorry I didn't write last night I was out of town. I feel that there is something weird going on with Hayden and whatever it is I'm going to figure it out. But that is all I'm going to write tonight I'm actually very tired.



I closed my dairy and put it back. The lamp seemed realy bright as i laid down in my bed. I leaned over and turned it off watching as my eyes adjusted to the darkness. I didn't feel very tired but I knew I had to be after the long drive I had. I closed my eyes and slowly let sleep crush me.

I awoke in a panic. The room was dark all i could see was the shadow of someone from the door way. There was a small light coming through the doorway. Then heard my favorite song, Lovegame by LadyGaGa, was playing.

The song drifted through the room. It seemed a bit creepy but then again it was soothing. The light got brighter that's when I noticed someone had turned the light on. He stpped into the room, it was Hayden. I couldn't tell if it was a dream or not. But whatever it was I was scared out of my mind. He came closer to me and I freaked out. I jumped out fo the bed and leaped for the door. Something caught my shirt and pulled me backwards. He had caught me and held me in place.



Being held in place not only by him but by me fear of him. He was scaring me and I didn't know what to do. So I started to scream, that made him angry. He threw me on the ground, so I got up and bolted for the door yet again. Something was calling to me telling me that I needed to make it through the door. It was Jacov's voice, he was calling me. "Katie, Katie!" his deep voice drifted around me.



My eyes fluttered open and he was there his hand on my shoulder. Jacob was looking at me worridly. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "Are you alright?" He asked. "Yeah, why?" I played it like I didn't know what he was talking about. "Because you where screaming." I looked at him like I still didn't know what he was talking about. "I was? Well even if I wereit's over now. I need to get dressed would you let me get up?" I asked. He jumped up and left the room.



I rummaged through the small bag I had brought with me and picked out something to wear. I quickly got dressed and went out inot the living room. He was sitting on the sofa watching t.v. I went to the frige and got a soda. I was thirsty and I didn't feel like getting a glass of water.



After I finished my soda I went to Jacob's room and got my stuff. I took it out to my car and said goodbye to Jacob. I started my car threw it into drive and left Jacob's house. The drive felt longer on the way home than it felt on the way to Jacob's. When I pulled up in the drive way at 7:30 Cheyenne and Amber bolted out the door to great me. They hugged me at the same time. I could feel everything they were feeling, they were scared, worried and happy all at the same time. Cheyenne grabbed my bag from me and took it inside while Amber locked her arm in mine and walked inside with me. My family missed me and I could tell.

The drive away from that horrible experience seemed so long. I was scared out of my mind. I didn't realize how fast I was going until I couldn't go any faster. I looed at the spedometer and it had reached 120. I decided to back it down to 70. The road was deserted anyway. The library was not really all that busy so I went inside. I searched for the paranormal section, the book I was looking for would most likely be there. Tha names of the books went in order so it wasn't all that hard to find the book I was looking for.



I grabbed the book off the shelf and carried it to a table. I dropped the book on the table and opened it to the dreams and their meanings chapter. I looked throuhg it quickly. The meaning of my dream was the same as the meaning of the dream I had about Cheyenne killing me a few years before. I was falling for him. But I didn't want to. He seemed so mean and creepy earlier that day.



I put the book away and ran out of the library to my car. I didn't know where I was going but I needed to get away. I left the library parking lot and headed away from home. As soon as I knew where I was going I called Cheyenne. I let her know that I wouldn't be home for a couple days. That I needed some time away. She told me not to worry, but to hurry back soon.



My phone played Lovegame by LadyGaGa letting my know someone was trying to get ahold of me. I picked it up out of the cup holder and looked at the caller ID. Amber was calling. I flipped open my phone. "Hello?" I heard Amber's voice through the reciever. She sounded worried and scared. "Amber what's wrong hun?" I asked concerned. "Where are you going?" She asked. I knew she was worried about me I had only take off one time before. She was frightened for me. "Hun, I'll be home in a couple days. I just need to get away. I promise you and Cheyenne will be fine. Dad is going to lend you guys the extra car while I'm away. I love you and I'll be home soon I promise." I stated solemly and shut my phone. It was 3 days til' my 21st birthday and I had taken off out of the blue. I know I worried them.



It felt like the roads went forever. After a drive that seemed like days I finally arrived at my destination. I had driven from a small town in Florida to a huge city in Georgia. I was there to see someone I hadn't seen since I moved. I pulled into the drive way and got out of my car. That when I heard him. "Katie!" I heard his deep voice ring through the silent night. Jacob ran up and hugged me. "Hey Jacob, how are you? I knos you are surprised to see me. Am I intruding?" All my words came out in a flourish. Jacob was my best friend from my childhood. I had to admit I loved the guy, but more like a brother.



He picked me up in a bridal hold which didn't surprise me he always did that and carried me into his house. He lived alone and as it looked her still wasn't married. "You are welcome here anytime. My place is small and there is only one bed but I will sleep on the couch and you can have my bed." he sated excitedly. Jacon never failed to put a smile on my face. "Thanks Jacob, I just needed to get away from that small town it was screwing with my head. He laughed and showed me to his room. I set the one bag I had with me on the bed and sat down beside it. Jacob kissed my fgorehead told me goodnight and left the room.



I didn't have my dairy with me. I got inot my pajams and crawled into bed. This bed felt lonely, it wasn't my bed. It took me a while but I soon drifted into a light sleep.

I opened my eyes to him standing infront of me. It startled me it was so real. He looked at me as though he had seen a ghost. I hadn't done anything wrong he was the on in my bedroom staring at me. I quickly jumped out of my bed and stood infront of him. He smiled widely at me flashing his gleeming white teeth. He put his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me close to him. I wondered what was happening. He directed me to lean my head to the side to exspoe the pale skin of my neck. I felt the peircing pain in my neck my eyelids drew heavy then i was out.



I sat up straight in my bed screaming. I put my hand on my neck there was nothing there, but it had felt so real. I guessed it was just a dream. No a nightmare. I quickly jumped out of bed and got ready. I decided I wasn't going to school. I was going to take Amber to work.



I ran down stairs and found Cheyenne sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee, I figured she knew what I was going to do so she was already getting ready to crash. I called up to Amber and told her to hurry up. My nightmare was nagging at me, I wasnted to find out why I'd had such a dream. Amber appeared behind me shortly after I told her to hurry up. She got her work stuff and went out to the car. I kissed cheyenne and went to the car.



The roads wound around the town and I drove faster than Cheyenne and Amber. The reason Amber always ignored everything and never actually talked to many people was my fault. And I would never would be able to forgive myself. A few years before it was night, the radio was turned up loud and I was driving. Amber had asked me a question and I didn't answer so she turned the radion down. I looked at her and she asked again. I had taken my eyes off the rod for too long and we ran off the road. We hit a tree and the car was completely mangled. Amber walked away with a few bruises and I walked away with a broken arm. Amber stopped speaking and since then she hasn't spoken much. It was all my fault and always will be.



I snapped back to reality when Amber's door opened. I waved goodbye to her and then spend out of the parking lot. The roads that I took lead to the house. I wanted to back there to see if I could find out anything about Hayden. i dorve up the drive way and parke in front of the house. It didn't look like anyone was here so I got out and went into the house.



The house looked different, cleaner, cozier, almost homey like. I looked around it was deffinately different from 2 days before. Something was seriously different. The house had a lighter feeling to it, and it seemed like it was brighter. I went up stairs to the attic I would know for sure if something was different if the attic wasn't the same. I noticed that something was really wrong when I entered the attic. The attic was a whole lot different. The attic had the same homey feeling to it, but this homey feeling was different it was like a creepy feeling. The attic was so clean I could have licked the wall. Something was wrong. It was deffinately wrong.



This was scaring me. I ran as fast as I could down the stairs and turned a corner a little to quickly, I hit the wall and fell on my ass. I looked around to see if anyone was there or if anyone had heard it and come running. I saw no one so I bounmced right back up and bounded for the door where I cam to a dead stop. Hayden was in the door way. I smiled softly, trying not to show I was scared out of my right mind. He chuckled, this chuckeld scared me it was creepy. I tried to slip past him but he caught my arm with a firm grip.



I whipped around in terror. I was terrified as to what was going to happen. He had tried to kill me in my dream the night before. I didn't know anything about him except that he lived alone and his parents had passed away a few years before. I didn't know if he was a serial killer. And at that momment he looked like one. He placed his hand on my face gently, almost like I was a fragile butterfly. I was scared and I didn't know how dominant the instict telling me to run was.



He held me in the place in front of him. I wanted to run, I wanted to get away. "I...I h-have to go. Cheyenne is wanting me to stop by the library before I go pick up Amber from work. Sorry to intrude I was looking for something I dropped a few days ago when I was exploring." I stammered through the wrods as fast as possible. "what was it that you dropped?" He asked. "My iPod. But i found it." I quickly took it out of my pocket playing like I was actually looking for it.



"Well I'm glad you found it. I would hate for such a sweet person like you to lose something important to her." He said softly, almost caring. But I would here the menace in his voice. And it still scared me. I quickly bounded down the staris to my car. I jumped inot the driver's seat started the car and sped away from the house.

We stopped at the front steps to my house. I turned to hayden and smiled widely. I was happy I met a new friend. Still holding his hand I led him inside to find Cheyenne and Amber sitting on the couch waiting for us. I could smell dinner, it was sitting on the dinning room table and dad was already gone to work. He always left early and got home in the early hours of the morning.



Cheyenne smiled at me but the smile meant more than it said on the surface and she knew i knew that it did. Amber went to the table and took her spot in the "captain" chair at the end of the table. The table seated 8 people, and there were only 5 of us. Hayden and I sat on the left side of Amber and Cheyenne sat on the right side of Amber infront of me.



Cheyenne had cooked barbaque chicken with rice and corn. The only reason we ate so much chicken was because I was allergic to anything other than chicken. It was weird. We dished our plates and got our drinks. Then Cheyenne announced that it was time to "chow down" that was her way of putting it. Hayden didn't eat much, he ate some of the chicken but mostly just sat and sipped his pepsi. It worried me or more concerned me that he didn't eat much. I wondered wether it was because he was still worried about imposing or if it was just because he wasn't hungry. Whatever it was I was determined to find out.



After dinner Hayden helped Amber and I clean up the kitchen. I told him he didn't have to but he insisted since he "imposed". We let Cheyenne sit in the living room and be lazy before she had to get ready for her night school.



once the kitchen was finished and Amber went upstairs Hayden decided it was time to leave. I offered to walk him back to the old house so he wouldn't have to go back to his car alone but he didn't want me to be out all alone at night. I thought that was sweet but then again I also thought it was dumb because every night since i had found that the woods led to different places I couldn't stay in side at night. I had to be outside at night.



He kissed me on the cheek thanking me for the good time and handed me a small peice of paper. I took it and held it tight in my hand. I waved goodbye as he disappeared into the dark woods. After he was gone the peice of paper burned in my hand. I opened it and found a number scrawled in neat and delicate handwritting. I folded the paper back up and held it close to my heart.



The night sky was so beautiful I didn;t want to go back inside but something caught my attention and made me go. I heard a soft howl, but it wasn't like the cyotes howl, it was higher pitched and it periced through the darkness. I quickly walked inside Cheyenne was getting ready for school and Amber was upstairs listening to music and ginoring everything yet again. Cheyenne quickly kissed me goodbye and bolted out the door to go to school.



The door shut and I bounded up the stairs to my room. The door closed on its own, which scared me a bit, but I didn't think anything of it because my window was open. My room was the same but then again wasn't, something was missing. I didn't notice what it was until I went to get my diary. Someone had taken the picture of Cheyenne and I out of my diary. It pissed me off because Cheyenne wouldn't take anything from me and neither would Amber. They knew I had the picture anyways, Amber was the one who took it and Cheyenne had an exact copy. So what would they need it for.



I didn't close my window because the breeze felt amazing. I loved the cool night breeze lingering in my room. I opened my diary and looked through it to make sure no entries were missing. I found one missing the one that was behind the picture of Cheyenne and I. It was the jourmal entry about Cheyenne and what I'm like. This had to be the weirdest thing in the wrold. A picture of me was missing, and an entry in my journal about me was missing. Something was going on and I was going to get to the bottom of it.





Dear Diary,



Today is June 11th, and I met the most wonderful and gorgeous person today. His name is Hayden and he seems like he likes me too. He gave me his number. I'm writting it down in here so I don't foget. When I came into my room my door shut and I didn't even close it. I also found the photo of Cheyenne and I missing along with the journal entry from the day the picture was taken that states everything about me. I wonder what is going on here. Sooner or later I will figure it out. I hope Hayden answers my hpone call when i call him tomorrow. Well I bid you adue for tonight. I must rest.





I slipped the number in my journal infront of today's entry and put it back in my bed side table. I laid down turned the lamp off and drifted into a deep sleep.

The voice that whirled around me wasn't my mom's or Amber's it was Chyenne's. My eyes fluttered open to see Cheyenne sitting on my bed next to me. She was trying to wake me up. I rubbed my eyes and gave her a confused look. "What's going on?" I asked a little concerned. She laughed softly. "Nothing love, I wanted to wake you up this morning instead of seeing you wake up to that awful alarm." she smiled sweetly and kissed my forehead.



Not only was Cheyenne my best friend she was my girlfreind. We had been together for almost eight yaers and yet she still hadn't gotten tired of me. I leaned up and watched he slide of my bed right before I did the same. I went into the upstairs bathroom that us three girls shared and fixed myself up. I brushed my teeth and my hair, the I did my make-up.



There was a light rapping sound at the door. Cheyenne opened the door quietly and came in. She decided to help me with my hair. She braided my long hair into a single braid that fell down my back. After she was done with my hair she garbbed my hand led me out of the bathroom and back to my room. She made me sit down on my bed and picked out my outfit for me. She laid a pair of tripp shorts along with my jack skellington t-shirt and converses out onto my bed for me.



I looked at her in surprise, she was acting weird. She had never been like that before. i shooed her out of my room so I could get dressed. I threw my clothes on as quickly as possible and ran down stairs after grabbing all my school stuff. Cheyenne had a glass of milk and my favorite pop tarts waiting for me when I went into the kitchen. I scarfed down the pop tarts and chugged the milk. I felt late to school but I knew I wasn't.



Amber came down stairs and kissed me on the cheek wishing me luck on my first day back to school for the semester. It was the new fall semester. I smiled and hugged her, then i followed Cheyenne out the door to the car. We got into the car and she drove me to school.



I got out of the car and looked around at the strage but also familiar campus. I went to the few classes i had. After I finished the day I called Amber and asked her to pick me up. I waited about fifteen minutes and then the shiny red car drove up. The car was my favorite color because it was my car. Amber quickly drove out of the parking lot and towards home. Once we got home I went inside and put away my books. I wanted to go for a walk so I told Amber I would be back for dinner and to tell Cheyenne I went out.



I left the house and headed toward the woods. i followed the trail towards the house that was going to be my new hideout. As soon as I got in sight of the house I noticed something different about the house. The arura of the house was different like someone was there. I stopped and hid behind a tree waiting to see if anyone would come out. After a momment or two I saw a tall slender guy about 22 calmly walk out of the house. He was gorgeous, his skin looked so amazing, and I swear to this day I could smell him. I quietly inched closer trying to get a better look at him.



I finally got close enough to him to notice his eyes. They were a bright glowing red. Those eyes made me wonder so I came out of the bushes and showed myslef to him. When he noticed me for a mommant he looked startled then his eyes changed they looked hungry. I smiled and held out my hand for him to shake it. "My name is Katie, What's yours?" I asked trying to figure out who or what he was.



He gave me a confused look then took my hand like i was a fragile being and pulled it up to his lips. He kissed the top of my hand and then let my hand fall. "My name is Hayden. Hayden Kellan." He smiled sweetly, but there was a hint of curiousity to him.



"Well Hayden what are you doing here? Surely you don't live here. This place has been abandoned for years." He chuckled almost eary like but it sounded more like he was actually ammused. "I don't live here, but my parents use to. So I came to see what it was like. If I have bothered you in anyway please let me know." He said answering my question directly.



Lovegame by Lady GaGa started playing from my pocket. my cell phone was ringing. I quickly dug my cell phone out of my pocket and looked at the caller ID. Home was calling. I sighed and opened my phone. "Hello?" I asked exasperated. The tiny voice of Cheyenne rang out of the tiny speaker on my phone. "Dinner is almost ready. When are you going to be home.?" She asked urgetnly. "I'll be on my way in a momment. Don't worry I'll be home in time for dinner. I might even bring a guest." I stated excitedly. "Ok, See you when you get here." Then the phone made a beep saying the call had ended.



I looked at Hayden for a momment then smiled. "Hayden would you like to come have dinner with My friends and I?" I said it in the best possible way I could without having to explain the whol situation. It would take way too long and I didn't have the patience for it. "I don't want to intrde. It would be rude." he said softly. "No, you would be intruding. Please come and join us for dinner." I asked again. He sighed and took my hand. "Lead the way my lady."



I smiled and lead him back to the house.

Here is chapter 1 to my story. If you like it then let me know and I'll put chapter 2 up.



I walked through the open door of the house. This house wasn't like anyother, it was old and huge. It had been abandoned a long time ago, before i moved here. I walked up the spiral staircase in the far right corner of the living room. The staircase looked as thouhg it went on for days, when in all actuality it only had to go to 2 more floors. The last floor was obviouslt the attic. The attic was creepy, there were spiderwebs every where. I wanted to use this house as my hideout.



The woods were dark and creepy, but it wasn;t nothing that I couldn;t handle. It actually kind of soothed me inside. The owls hooted, the crickets sang their nightly songs, and the cyotes off in a distance howled. The night was my favorite time of day. I finally got back to my house and quickly ran up to my room. i lived in a small house with my best friend, dad, and cousin.



Amber, my cousin, was in her room listening to music and ignoring everything. My dad was gone to work, and Cheyenne, my best friend, was in the kitchen finishing dinner. Ever since they moved in my dad hadn't been afraid to leave me home alone at night. He was always afriad that I would get scared and have to go to my grandparents.



My room was small with light pruple walls. The bed looked big compared to the room but it wasn't all that big. There was a desk on the oposite side of the room my bed was. My laptop was open and sitting on the desk. Someone had tried to use my computer but couldn't because they couldn't figure out the password. I figured if they couldn't get into my computer they didn't do any harm so I left it alone.



As soon as i had gotten out of the shower Cheyenne called us down for dinner. She was always trying to keep my dad an I from being so stressed. She thought that if she cooked dinner most nights that my dad I and would have more time for the things we needed to focus on. Which kind of upset me because she had things she needed to focus on more. She was going to school nightly to be a Registered Nurse. I was going to school daily to be a certified Pastry Chef. Amber wasworking at the local newspaper. She was pursuing her dream of being a photographer and writer.



Amber and I ran down stairs to eat dinner with Cheyenne. Everynight we ate dinner together then Cheyenne would go off to school. Then in the morning she would wait for me to get up and take me to school so amber could use the car to go to work. Then after Amber was done at work she would come get me. This routine went on for the longest time. It was what we did, it was how we were.



After we got done eating Cheyenne got ready for work while I waited downstairs to say goodbye to her. She got all of her school stuff together grabbed the car keys kissed me, then kissed Amber on the cheek and left for the night. Amber and i were now home alone, we decided to put a puzzle together while we listened to music and ate ice cream.



Soon after we finished the puzzle I decided it was time for me to crash. I went upstairs and sauntered into my bedroom. I sat on my bed and pulled my diary out of my bedside table. I put the days date then started writting.





Dear Diary,



Today is June 10th, it is 4 days until my 21st birthday. Cheyenne is getting even more suspicious by the day. I think her my dad and Amber are planning something even though I asked them not too. I'm already missing Cheyenne and she hasn't even been gone 2 hours. Well today I found a wonderful place to fix up and use as my hideout. I'll let Cheyenne and Amber in on the secret place soon. But not quite yet. Well I'm going to bed now. I'll write again tomorrow night before i go to sleep.





I quickly closed my dairy and put it back in my draw. I flopped backwards onto the soft pillows reached over and turned my bedside lamp off. My eyes closed and the sleep soon closed in around me.
