Prologue: Vampire parents

"Listen sweetheart, I know you don't want to go to this boarding school, but it was the school your father and I went to so you will love it. Plus your uncle will be there to keep an eye on you; he is the principal you know."

My mother tried to reassure me, she was attempting to send me to a boarding school. My papa wasn't so sure it was a good idea, mostly because of the particular kinds of people who attended the school. You see both of my parents are Vampires, I'm not because they had me while they were still human. And they wouldn't turn me into a vampire.

"Tara, trust me it will be fun, and you will make plenty of friends. Oh look, there's your uncle. Goodbye sweetheart I love you."She kissed me on the forehead and so did my father. "Take care Tara, be a good girl ok?" I hugged both of them with tears welling up in my eyes as I said "okay daddy I will, I love you guys."

I picked up my suitcase and walked out the door, when my mother stopped me "Here honey, take this pendant to remember us by." She held out her luck silver pendant and placed it around my neck and kissed me one final time. My uncle honked the car horn signaling me to get a move on; I strolled over to the car and threw my suitcase in the trunk. I opened the car door and threw my backpack in the seat next to me.

When I closed the door and buckled my seatbelt the car roared to life and zoomed off, I looked back to see my mother waving goodbye with her goofy smiley face grin. But, in the corner I saw a tear roll down her cheek, I waved back and turned around to look out the window.

Looks like I'm on my way to Arthur Academy, school for vampires. I thought to myself before I closed my eyes to sleep.
