• -Rebellious Callie is a 16 year old vampire who is the awakened. She is the only vampire in her clan to feed on animals and befriend humans. When one of her friends (Kevin) is turned (embraced) by one of her own clan members, Callie must save Kevin from becoming an out of control incubus and keep him from getting hunted by 5 van helsings who hunt for their fangs and blood, another group of van helsings claim to be the good guys who are trying to stop the other five hunters from killing more vampires for game and have also come to recruit their long lost leader who will one day lead them to victory. Prologue “Times running out, hurry Callie you must hurry!” The voices there were coming from nowhere were whispering to me in desperate tones. It frightened me to not know why I was running to my death but something inside me told me to do what the mysterious voices said. I ran faster across the meadows, adrenalin pulsing through me, I could feel my heart beat faster. I didn’t know how I knew it but I knew that something horrible was going to happen with or with out me there. retort Callie Chapter 16: Attack I could hear my mother’s voice inside my head, telling me to be brave, that nothing bad was going to happen. I paused at the stop sign and listened to her syrupy voice. “Remember Callie, You are the only one who can stop the death dealers.” She said to me, as a child of two dead parents I always wondered what that meant, but now I know- I have the power to stop Hunter and his clan from wiping out the whole vampire race. The light turned green and I stepped on the gas making the car jerk out of the intersection, the tires squealed burning rubber on the pavement. “Gees Cal slow down a bit!” Sage complained giving me a sharp look of disapproval that made me want to be childish and stick my tongue out at the boy. My eyes go back to the road ignoring the grunting protests of my driving. “Sorry, but we need to get to Kevin….something is wrong. Can’t you feel it?” Was my only word before I stepped on the gas again shooting off at 60 mph. within thirty seconds we were at Kevin’s eerie dark house, the light were off giving no indication that anyone was home but I felt something. Death. I threw the car into park and got out of the drivers seat running up to his porch with Sage and the rest following quickly. I didn’t bother knocking on the door but rammed it open with my shoulder and just like that the door jarred open. “Kevin?” I called from the stairs. I waited 2 minutes but still there was no answer. “Kevin??” The only thing to answer me was what sounded like furniture being dragged across the floor above us. My heart pounded with fear. I imagined a murderer upstairs dragging Kevin’s lifeless body across the floor slowly, the killer looking like Jason or Freddy Kruger but I knew that those were fictional murderers and the real monster was lurking some where in the house. Suddenly I turned bolting out of the room and sprinted up the stairway. The more I moved the more fear and panic I felt sprinting up the steps. I stopped at his door, my heart pounding like a furious drum, every breath filled with anxiety. I feared that if Hunter wanted to he would be able to hear my heart. -please let him be okay- I silently begged as I took one steady step toward his door but sages giant hands grabbed my hand stopping me from turning the knob. “Don’t.” I felt Sages cool breath on the side of my neck. “What are you doing? I smell blood so it must be his!” I snapped and tried yanking away from his grip but he was stronger then I was. “No, Callie……it’s not his blood you smell.” His eyes turned coal black and his fangs slowly came out to two sharp points. I froze, my body turning tense and finally my senses kicking in. I felt an eerie presence as if it were standing behind me breathing down my neck sending a shiver up my spine. “Then whose blood is it?” My lips quivered. Sages hand squeezed my shoulder lightly and then moved me to the side. He turned facing me “Callie I want you to stay here. No matter what happens if something were to go wrong I want you to run like hell out the door and to your car.” I looked up to see his eyes have gone back to hazel and he put his hands on my shoulders to steady me. “I want you to get out of Pennsylvania and go to Maryland in the northern part, there’s a little town called Haven…..go there, that’s where our covens residing at and tell them that the dark ones are striking.” He whispered quickly to me. I nodded understanding what he meant. “The gold ones have failed in their conspire to kill the dark ones”. “Okay Sage, I promise I’ll leave if something goes wrong.” He cracked a small smile and caressed my face. “Good girl.” The look in his eyes was both a mixture of longing and fear. Longing to be with me and fear of loosing me and I could tell by the way he looked he could sense the same thing off of me. Inching our heads slowly together our lips touched with gentleness that both fed and burned the desires to wanting each other. Slowly he broke off our kiss and looked into my green eyes and smiled. “Thank you.” He turned abruptly. “Okay let’s go.” His friends were all smirking at us but the look of anger in his expression snapped them back and they all nodded and turned serious. Sage turned to me cupping my chin with his thumb and index finger. “Go down stairs and lock your self in the basement Callie.” he then turned and signaled them to follow. May stood infront of me and stared. Tears threatened her, I could tell that she still loved me and still cared. My heart still throbbed for her because deep down inside I knew that I still loved her jus the same but the other part of me had to let go. “May” I said her name softly, but she shook her head. “I get it, you’re over me.” With that she turned and followed Sage as he was barking quite instructions. On the other side of the door it was shrilly quite, not a noise of struggle or breath was heard. “Come and play.” Hunters’ voice was hoarse and taunting hissing out the words. With out hesitating Sage kicked open the door and all of them charged in the room and that when all hell of the battle broke loose. A agonizing scream came from the room, my heart Jarred as I acknowledged the scream as May’s. My protective instincts over her kicked in and I charged the battle scene. The bloody war was a blur to me; all I could think about was getting to May and getting the hell out of this death house. Ignoring Sages screaming at me to get out as he slices a lycans head clean off. I rushed over to May where she lies sitting up against the bloody wall holding her stomach. “Callie!” I peered down to see a dagger pierced in her, she was bleeding badly. She reached down and jerked the dagger out of her and blood squirted on my face just as I kneeled down infront of her. My sense went wild knowing that other vampire’s blood is just as desiring as a human, fighting the urge to taste her I picked her up in my arms and looked for the closest escape route. “Callie!” Sage was by the front door fighting off a lycan, His sword swung around and pierced the creatures neck. Instantly the thing fell to the ground twitching. As I drew near the door a wolf like thing jumped in front of me and let out a deafening roar as bloody saliva sprayed us. I caught his sent…his blood that drove my sense even more wild. My fangs ached to bite this thing, my body tensed with hunger and death. “Get away.” I hissed ferociously at the lycan. The thing answered with another noisy roar and swung his arm sending May and I flying across the room crashing into the wall. We crash landed roughly to the floor I suddenly sprang up from my spot and landed on my feet facing off with the lycan. I growled back at him and leaped at him grabbing his furry disgusting neck and tightened my grip on him letting my nails dig grotesquely into his skin. He howled in pain as I threw him against the wall and let him fall to the floor. I fought the urge to go over to him and drain his very life but instead rushed over to May and picked her up and ran out the door to my car. I gently placed her in the back seat. Her eyes were sad and pained. “I’m so sorry May...” I cried and shut the door going to the other side of the car and opening the driver side. I put the keys in the ignition I sat back into my seat angered but pushed it aside when I saw May loosing consciousness. “May stay with me!” I begged and she slowly opened her eyes and forced a smile “I’m still with ya girly.” She said lightly, I smiled slightly thinking that maybe she will pull through as I threw the car in drive and drove off in silence. I was driving for two hours making small talk with May making sure that she was still awake, her voice was weak and barely above a whisper I felt my stomach get nauseated as I smelt fresh blood, I forced my eyes on the rearview mirror to see May puking up blood in the back so I quickly pull over to the side of the road and threw open the doors. I grabbed May and lugged her out as she was still coughing and puking the blood out. “May.” I couldn’t believe it…my friend was dying on me. I tugged her on the other side of the car into the woods and placed her down on the ground. “May, don’t do this.” I sobbed hugging her despite she was soaked in blood. “Callie.” She said my name in weakened breaths. “I’m sorry I failed you but I tried to protect you.” It broke my heart that she was talking this way. “No May.” My voice broke. “You didn’t fail anyone.” I pushed her bloodied hair out of her face and caressed her cheek for I knew that anytime she would be leaving me behind. “How...how are you dying?” I asked, my throat tightening. ““The knife…it was laced with silver acid.” I took her hand and held it as she went on. “Silver doesn’t only kill werewolves and lycans….it can also kill vampires like us.” The blood trickled out of her eyes and made it look like as if she were crying blood. “It’s flowing through my veins right now as we speak, stopping my heart, Callie.” She cried. “I can’t even see anymore, I’m getting numb -I can’t even feel you or the cold the only thing I feel right now is the pain…the acid.” She looks up at me and touched my face. “I love you Callie…I always have. G…go to Sage Callie, he makes you happy…go to him” She caught her last breath before she went limp in my arms. “Callie.” I sobbed bending over her tightening my hug on her. She was gone and there was nothing I could do to bring her back. For the wrest of the night I sat alone in the forest howling and weeping for my best friend…my love. When I looked up to the night, a single red tear drop rolled down my cheek. “Good bye May.”
