A cold, crisp autumn afternoon, Paige sits in a tree, on a thick tree branch. She studied every leaf on the oak tree she called home. Never has she seen a moment get so colorful. Paige saw a squirrel and felt her once brown eyes grow burning red. She moved slowly and swiftly to catch the small rodent. She clamps her fangs into a vein in the squirrel. She feels it squirm for a while before giving in. The liquid flowed from the squirrel through her fangs to her throat.
Once all of the blood was drained she placed the creature on the branch and sighed.

Paige is a 5'4 orphan, left to defend herself at a young age. Now she is sixteen and has short brown hair and dark brown eyes. She has almost no fat on her stomach because she is on a blood diet.

CRASH!
Paige looked down and saw boys that looked about her age shooting a gun. She looked around and decided to make them stop. Living creatures shouldn't be killed by humans. Paige stood up and jumped out of her 2 story tree.
"What are you doing here!" She asks as she plops in a kneeling position. "Better question, what are YOU doing here?" A boy with brown hair asks. A boy with jet black hair hides behind him. He has a weird accent but she ignores his voice and says, "I asked first." Speaking through her teeth. The boy grunts. "Me and my boyfriend are here to shoot some cans."
"You sure. Because I saw you shoot those birds." Now with her arms crossed, Paige was getting frustrated with these boys. "Leave my forest and on one gets hurt." She mumbles angry with their damage to living animals.
"Why should we listen to a girl who's younger than us?" The boy snickers.
"Fine." Suddenly the boys were pushed back far enough to to be pushed out of the forest. "What the hell was that, Dan!" The boy with black hair asks, trembling. "Does it look like I fucking know." They turned around and went home. Dan was mumbling cuss words to himself.
Paige returned to her tree and awaited night fall.

"Yes." She whispered. She popped out of the tree and went down the hill in the forest. "Aaron! Paxton! Sephora! Ember!I am here now the party will start!" Paige zipped to her friends who were in a circle. "Ready for tonight?" Aaron asked. His eyes beginning to glow green. "Aaron relax! We have a whole night! Right?" Ember asked, shaking her head. Aaron rolled his eyes. Arron had a huge crush on Paige and wanted her to himself. Paige found no interest in him but only as a friend. "Alright. Fine. Where first? The hospital or park?" Aaron asked the group. "Park." Paige said. "Okay." They say. And off to the park they began.

Paxton had hazel eyes and black hair. Arron had natural blond hair and brown eyes. Sephora had green eyes and dyed purple hair. Ember was petite with long blond hair and crystal blue eyes.

The group ran to the park causing mischief on the way. They were flipping garbage cans, graffitiing street signs, and screaming. No one bothered them anymore. Paige looked around at her friends and the closest thing to family she ever had. They each have their own story. Sephora used to be human, but she dealt with the wrong people. Paxton was best friends with Aaron, who turned him. Ember and Paige were born like this. But Aaron, he hadn't told us how he turned into a vampire. Paige forgot the thought best she could as soon as they reached the park. Aaron was talking to Sephora and Ember. Paxton and Paige were talking. "Look..." Paxton eyes start to glow orange. "Must be food." Paige thought. She turned around to see no other than a deer. Paige's eyes glow red. Her and Paxton lose control and chase the deer. It does not take long for the two to capture the deer and extract the blood from it. After their eyes return to normal, Paige realizes what she has done. Her chest sinks below her feet. She knows that she is alive, but has no organs. "I...I just" Paige stammered. Paxton Roman to her side and side hugged her; he gripped her tight and rubbed her arms. Stunned, Paige had tears streaming down her face. Everyone knew Paige didn't like killing, but once your eyes turn, your gone. Paige turns into Paxton and grips his shirt; she sobbed.
Aaron, Sephora, and Ember were also gone hunting. They chased down a man. "He's old enough." Aaron snickered. After that he sunk his fangs deep into the old mans neck. Ember had to look away. She couldn't see him in pain. On the contrary, Sephora starred him in the eyes. She watched his face begin to whiten. Aaron released his grip and Sephora smiled at Ember. "What's wrong? Can't deal with a little blood?" Sephora was never the same after she was bitten. She was always full of fury. She used to love everything but it was almost like she killed her own heart. Ember didn't like that she was forded into this life cycle. Starve or kill was her options. Truthfully it was all of their options. "Bon appétit." Aaron said wolfish; his eyes glowing a dark sexy green. Sephora and Ember enjoy their meal. They kept their alerts high. Something didn't feel right on that night.

After everyone ate and calmed down, they all came together. The plan was to relax together until morning; but that plan soon changed.

Once together, the friends told their killing tales. Paige was against everything so asked every time if they had to do it. everyday the answer was the same with them making fun of her and calling he a baby.They started to make fun of Paige until they heard a large explosion. Everyone falls to the floor Paxton and Paige reach for each other. They held onto each other for dear life,"I don't want to die, Pax!" Paige whispered to Paxton. "You won't."
