Ughhhh.... man my shoulders are killing me from those dead lifts. Rolling up to my full height of nothing more than 5 feet 6 inches i can easily say that this was one of my better workouts as of lately. You'd think being a vampire and all meant you were tall, nope. Not over here it doesn't.

Grabbing my mat and my water i head to my locker and put in the code. Once the lock clicks i open it and grab my keys and gym bag. Deciding that I'm not really willing stink my car up this bad, i opt for a shower here at the gym since it was only 5 past 9.

Heading to the shower i grab my change of clothes which consist of an oversized t-shirt, loose shorts, and a change of underwear.

Turning on the shower and adjusting it to the perfect temperature of almost but not quite scorching hot, i step into the water. I rinse out my hair and reach out of the shower to grab my shampoo and conditioner.

After I've done that and I've washed my body i turn off the water and grab my towel, as I'm drying off i heat a foot step and stop abruptly ceasing to make sound. I concentrate my ears and slow down my heart rate adjusting my senses as i reach out but i notice nothing.

I quickly and quietly put my clothes on and decide not to put on shoes lest they make to much noise. Concentrating as much as i can i reach out with my senses checking my surroundings as i make my way to my car.

With my hand on my star blades i quickly thank myself for the knife faze i went through as a young teen to my now 17 years of age. As i get closer to my car i feel something coming at me quick fast and in a hurry, i step to the side and allow it to fly past me.

If it is what i think it was........ it means I'm under attack. I don't know much about that, but my mother has instructed me that one day i might be and to find her and let her know as soon as possible. I quickly and precisely throw my star blade in the direction of the threat and hear a quite yet stiff groan. So quite you could almost miss it had you not been looking for it with the enhanced senses i harbored.

I take this chance to run to my car, lock my doors, and speed off towards my house thinking 'fuccccckkkkkkkk i should've stayed in town like my mother said.' I drive in a couple circles to make sure I'm not being followed before pulling up to my drive way.

Darting to my door while making sure to lock my car, i bust into my house and lock the door behind me.
"Mom"
"Mother where are you?!?!" I say as my mother walks out of the kitchen.
"What's wrong Laila?"
"I think I'm being hunted" i say.
"Well then you'd better sit down..... I'm afraid i have some things to tell you." She says with a disappointed sigh as she sits on the couch.

"First things first, brace yourself" She says.
"Mom just spit it out!"
"Alright" she says. "I'm not really your mother, and sadly you're not my blood daughter".

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I say with a slight hint of an attitude. "You've been here for basically my whole fucking life, I'm not in the mood for bullshit right now" i say as i glare at her "i need the truth, and i need it now."

"My name is agent Lorena assigned to your case and you're under witness protection by order of your parents, it was their last parting wish" She says.

"That can't" i pause. "Be..........."

I turn to look in our hallway mirror. I study my pale skin, reddish-auburn brown hair that falls to my lower back in waves, and my slight build. My figure is slim but I'm curved in the right places. My boobs are a 32D, my hips curve out to create a hourglass like figure, and my butt?? Well let's just say there's more than enough of that.

I come back up and meet my forest green eyes in realization and shock.

I look at my mother or rather, guardian Lorena, and see her plump yet fit figure, tan skin, black hair that falls mid back, and brown eyes. She stand at a height of 6 feet and 2 inches.

Holy shit

"Your a vampire" she says.
"Well no fucking shit Sherlock I've known since i was like 11" i said with my returning attitude.
"Your not just a vampire, your the last royal vampire of your blood line and your now under attack. My duty was to protect you until your 18th birthday where i would safely return you to your next guardian but it seems we'll have to speed this process along."

"Pack your bags" she says. "We leave tomorrow at 0500 hours."

I don't question her for a second, partly because she hasn't given me reason too, and also because i didn't know if i would break down or not with the answers i might receive.

There is one thing i do ask though. "But i haven't finished school yet".

"Yes you have. You finished 3 years ago and have been assigned busy work to keep you here and focused on something else until you're 18th." She says and raises her voice a little towards the end as i walk way.

I head upstairs and wonder to myself what the fuck just happened and why. I didn't peg myself as the princess type, but i was evidently wrong.

It took me till 2 a.m. to pack it all and afterwards Lorena let me take a nap. She ensured me that i would be needing it for the journey to come.

What i didn't know is that it would be the last one i spent with her, and the last one i spent safely.

Laila's POV:
I woke up to someone i didn't know picking me up, i tried to fight but realized my arms and legs were strapped down. I yelled and started to wiggle around and fight them to the best of my abilities but was soon hit over the head with something hard and i blacked out.

Before blacking out completely i heard the mans deep voice say into what i guess was a phone, "I've got her and she's now on the way. Don't worry i took care of her body guard."

I didn't have time to react to those words before my life went black.
