Chapter 1
My name‘s Rachel and I live in Springdale Washington. Springdale’s a really like damn small place with a lot of forest space, but I guess that’s me. I never really thought about the future or how I’d be a were-wolf killing vamps but now I do. It’s my life. If you’re looking for a romantic novel like Twilight stop wasting your time human. If your looking for an action or a sob story I guess you found your book cause this aint no woopty-doo fairytale.
It all started on my birthday, ya I know great day to ruin but hey I couldn’t do anything about it. My mom knocked on my bedroom door then before I could say anything she marched in with a tray with pancakes and a sliver of cake. Great right? Ya well that’s my mom for ya. Straight out weirdo but yet at the same time totally awesome. “Happy Birthday sweetheart!” she said to me in so obviously fake voice she only uses to my four year old sister Angelina, who doesn’t necicerally get it yet. “Hey mom.” I say half a sleep in my bed. I glanced out my window. Great. No Dylan. Dylan’s this really laid back kind of guy who you can tell anything and he’ll keep it a secret. I’ve been seeing him for around five months now. He’s only like 5’2 but he’s really cute. He has beach blond hair, sea blue eyes, and this amazing smile that makes you fell all warm and fuzzy inside. He’s obsessed with base-ball but I don’t care. He’s mine, and I love him.
After my mom was done with all the retarded stuff I walked out the door and still no Dylan. Oh-Well! I hurried back inside and grabbed my keys. I’ve got a black Mercedes Benz. Ya I know a Mercedes, expensive but hey my dad’s a lawyer and my mom’s a nurse. Cha-Ch’ing! Then I parked in the “Student Parking” at my school. I go to Mary Walker High School. It’s around two miles away from my house and kind of big. I’ve been going to school with these kids since I was in kindergarten. Ya a long time right? Some of them have left and gone onto a bigger, and probably safer place since there’s only so many wolves and way too many vamps round here. And that means too many deaths. That’s kind of why Springdale doesn’t have a lot of people. I guess. Prophecy has it that if one of us kills one of them then there’ll be like this huge wave of them that’ll kill any human, or were-wolf in sight. Great isn’t it? Ya that’s kind of my life, but when ever we kill one of them for either already killing a human or hurting a human nothing happens. Only if the law-makers want something to happen. They never do though. World wide there are way more were-wolves then vamps. The law-makers are like these really stupid and restrained people made up of five were-wolves and three vamps. Awesome right? All of the law-makers will scare the crap out of you if you don’t do as their law says. Mainly cause you’ll be dead. So anyways first thing I have to do when I get to school is go to my locker, when you see it you know it’s mine too. My locker has lime neon green and checkerboard duck tape lines going down it and in hot pink letters it says my name. I put my combination in and take out my math books. Then I see him, Liam. The other guy I’m utterly and madly in love with. Sometimes I think I love him more then I do Dylan. He has the whole JB look going on and the most wanted guy in High-School, and even better he likes me. “Hey Rachel.” Liam shouted over to me then walked over with his “guys” right behind him. Some of them looked at me the way everyone looked at me. The whole “Freak” look describes me. “Happy Birthday beautiful!” he said to me but I was to lost in his bright green almost like a cat’s eyes. “Thanks.” I managed to say under my swept away breath. “So a few of us are going out tonight and uh you wanna come?” Alec said in that damn sexy voice that I just cant smiling to when I hear it. “Uh ya sure.” I say in reply then Dylan butts in “Ya uh I actually wanted to go out with my girlfriend tonight, just to a restaurant not a retarded club.”
“Oh ya I get it dude no prob, but hey I’ll see you in class Rach.”
“K bye.” I say not sure of what else to say.
“Babe he’s nothing compared to me, why do you like him, he’s a total freak-show anyways.”
“Uh ya I guess whatever right baby?” I say in that almost too sweet voice I use to get out of trouble with.
“Uh ya sure. Hey guess what?”
“Ya?”
“Happy B-Day.”
“Thanks, hey where the hell were you this morning? I kind of needed you to knock on the door and save me from my mom.”
“Hey not my fault you didn’t text me!”
“Oh so now it’s all my fault, right? I’ll see ya later, bye.”
Then I walked away with Liam who surprisingly was waiting for me a few lockers over. “So you guys done?” he asked me in that voice he uses to get girls to go out with him.
“No, well not yet anyways.”
“Oh that’s too bad cause I’m waiting for you.”
“What?” ok now I’m in shock mode.
“Ya, I think you’re worth waiting for.”
“Whhha?”
“I love you Rachel. Not only because you’re my,how do I put this my “kind”, but also because I love your smile, your eyes, and well you in general!”
I couldn’t say anything other then “I love you too.”
“Then how bout you dumb that sleez-bag of a boyfriend and start seeing me? I mean I think I well, I tried to make it kind of obvious, and come on I mean look at him he’s technically goth.”
“Well I mean ya but still I, I cant just dump him!”
“it’s as easy as saying “We’re done!” how the hell is that so damn hard?”
“Quit being such an asshole because I mean he didn’t do anything to me!”
“He doesn’t treat you properly for one thing. I mean think about it I mean honestly when did he ever take you out on a date? When did he ever kiss you like he meant it?”
"What the hell-." I said but Liam cut me off
"Listen Rachel I love you more then him! Can't you see that, or are you now blind?"
"Liam! What the h-" Then he kissed me lightly on my lips. One of the nicest ways to tell a girl to shut-up.
"GET THE HELL OFF OF HER!" I heard Dylan scream across the hall. Then he was right next to me. Liam pulled away from me and stood orotectivly infrount of me. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" Dylan screamed. He had something with syrup for I smelled it in his breath that was now being projected throughout the entire school. "Asshole," Liam began but Dylan screamed over him "RACHEL WE'LL TALK LATER BUT IF YOU THINK YOU CAN JUSDT GO AHEAD AND KISS MY GIRLFRIEND THEN YOU'RE DAMN WRONG!" "Calm down." I wimper too quietly. Then Dylan socked Liam in the chin. Liam fell down as he kneed him in Austrailia and once on the ground silently cursing Dylan put him into a headlock. "DO YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST KISS MY GIRLFRIEND AND GET A WAY WITH IT? HUH? DO YA?" Dylan yelled into his ear. Then our grammar teacher Mrs. Bruner came storming out of her room. "Boys, boys enough!" She declaired while walking up to them. Dylan easily pushed her to the ground with his massive arm the Liam growled at Dylan.
"Get the hell of of my you freakin ass!" Liam said in a casual tone to Dylan. Liam easly pushes Dylan off of him with little effort then says "I'll see you later Rachel." "Bye-" I begin but Liam's already runing down the hallway.
Once my principale talkes to me about where Liam ran off to. Telling him the truth I walk out satisfied. I see Dylan and walk up to him. He has a small scratch on his cheek a black-eye's clearly forming. "Hey, can we talk?" "I don't think-" I begin but he cuts me off. "I'm sorry." "For what?" "Being such an ass aboout him kissing you." "Oh." I say in reply to what he just said that took me by suprise. "So are we still like-" I cut him off this time "I don't think it'd be best if we were." I say wincing. Dylan punches the wall and once done with that he manages several curses under his breath. "Ya, that's why you don't punch WALLS." I say sarcastically. "Damn it!" he says. "What?" I ask him. "If i hadn't been such a, an ass I'd still have you." "It's not you, it's me." I lie. I then walk away.
For the rest of the day i can't get Liam's words out of my head. What did he mean by his kind? And did I really love him? He was the stranger nobody knew.
Chapter Two
LIAM WASNT THERE FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. I felt alone and scared. Everyone was talking about me. My friends abandoned me. I felt terrible. I had it all. All of it gone.
