Chapter 1-Taken

Paper towels. Hand soap. Shampoo. Check, check, and double check. I had everything on my list. Now to get out of here alive, I thought drearily. I should have waited until I had more stuff to get at the grocery store, but I knew it would be much more crowded then. Next week there was a parade. I shuddered in revulsion. Yes going today was definitely a better option. I strolled over to the nearest self check-out. I quickly unloaded the items from my shopping basket, and began scanning the bar code of each item.

"Unexpected item in bagging area," a robotic woman's voice rang out making me jump. I sighed but ignored the stupid voice. I put all the items in the white plastic bag after paying. I made my way to the exit. Luckily no one was about at this late hour . . . well technically early. It was 2:00 am, and I was shopping at Meijer.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I exited. Free from the delicious smelling people. I shook my head clearing away the vision of me attacking the customers and employees. No, I will not hurt humans I silently repeated again and again in my mind.

It was slightly chilly out, but the wind felt good on my heated skin. I was starving. I really needed to get home. Home is the only place I was safe. I had walked quickly down the path I had taken to get to the store. I didn't have a car out of a mixture of fear and my inability to drive, besides I loved my routine. The more I walked the more fearful I became. The beasts of the night were probably still out to play.

"Help!" a woman's fearful voice pierced the air. I whipped around to the left where the voice had come from. The tiny blonde-haired woman stood out against the dark alley. She was wearing a long, pink jacket. A huge man was holding her arm in a tight grip. Vampire would be my guess. I was horrible at telling which species was which. He reeked of blood though which was visible on his white collared shirt. The blood made me believe that this would be at least his second meal of the night. He was very close to biting her. I stopped and froze in place. My pause caused the man to stop, and he looked at me. What to do? What to do? Do I walk away? Do I help? Walking away sounded much better. I mean you never come in between a dog and his meal, why would you interrupt a vampire? Leave it Cassie Richards, you don't have to get involved.

"Walk away girly," the huge man said to me with narrowed eyes. His red eyes were filled with violence. The man looked about thirty, and he was completely bald. I gulped. This man was very intimidating due to his muscular build and talk height. I began to take a step forward to walk away while my conscious screamed coward. I stopped and turned back around.

"Put--" I cleared my throat. "You should put her down." I was shaking with fear. Oh my Lord what have I done! I might as well just sign my own death certificate and hand it to him on a silver platter! Might as well say my last prayers now. Hail Mary, full of grace, save my stupid ass from a harsh death . . . .

"I'm sorry princess? Did you say something?" He tilted his head to the side. The vampire looked at me up and down then flashed his fangs at me. Here is your chance walk away and forget this ever happened! But something made me pause it was the woman. Her eyes were pleading with me, and my mind flashed back to a moment in which I had been in her position. A moment in which I had lost my humanity because of someone like the vampire in front of me. My anger grew. Most of it was directed at myself. This anger gave me courage. I could actually do something for once in my life, and I wasn't going to let it pass me by.

I gripped the plastic grocery bag in my left hand tighter, and I stood up straighter. "I said put her down," I said through gritted teeth. He smiled exposing his sharp, vicious-looking teeth.

Nothing prepared me for what he did next. Pulling the woman closer, he bit her neck. I stepped back in fear, and I covered my nose to prevent the temptation of attacking her as well. Blood began to stain through her pink jacket. I wanted to act but I was mesmerized by blood much like a fat guy by a greasy hamburger.

As if my body had a mind of it's own, I removed my hand, dropped my bag, and began to come closer to the pair hoping to just get a little taste. The woman crumpled to the ground as the man released her, and than the man quickly whirled on me with a hiss. I didn't care I wanted the leftovers, and I would do what I had to to get them. I ran around him quickly to get to the woman.

Any progress I made towards her was destroyed when baldy threw me at the nearest brick building. I groaned in pain as I hit the ground. I was so going to have bruises tomorrow. The pain snapped me out of my daze for the blood though, and I knew I had to get out of there before my insides winded up splattered across the alley. It was too late to help the girl. I slowly attempted to get up before the man kicked me back down. He put my arms behind my back roughly. It took me a moment to realize that he was handcuffing me. Panic and fear began to suffocate me because of his nearness. I didn't want to go wherever he was going I knew that much. The adrenaline rush caused me to struggle. I kicked, bit, and yelled, but the man simply ignored me. He dragged me over to a black sports car and threw me in the trunk.

The lid was shut and I began kicking at it. I mentally curse, and I tried using my strength to break the handcuffs apart. I did not have much luck though. They probably had silver or something in them. My fear suffocated me in another wave as I felt the car begin to move. I began hyperventilating. The lack of blood in my system along with my panic took hold of me, and I blacked out.
