Chapter 1: The Threat and Pain

"Mommy?! Mommy! Daddy?! Daddy Mommy where are you?!" I shrieked.

I stumbled blindly around in the darkness of my house. Suddenly I screamed as a dark figured man came towards me. I looked at his eyes and they were blood red. The blood he had taken from my parents. He was a vampire, like in my story books.

"Sweet little Bella. I won't hurt you now. Live your life, but one day I'll come back for you." The man said in a dark, soft, menacing voice.

My 3 year old body trembled in fright. What was I going to do? I was scared and had no family. The man who killed mommy and daddy suddenly turned and ran with blinding fast speed. I curled up in the corner and cried.

I heard someone enter the house, our door always squeaks. With a muffled squeal of fright I ran quickly to my bed and hid under the covers. I herd someone walking through the house coming quickly towards me. I squeezed my eyes shut tight and wished this wouldn't happen to me.

"Hello Isabella." A soft voice said to me as they gently pulled back the covers.

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed in fright as I fell of the bed, but found that the man caught me quickly, and then placed me on the bed.

"Shhhhh you're ok. I'm going to take you home with me ok?"

"o….o…okay." I sniffled quietly, but he had no trouble hearing me.

"I'm going to put you on my back now. I want you to close your eyes and keep them closed until I tell you to open them, alright?" he told me in a gentle voice that I immediately trusted.

"My…my mommy and daddy are gone." I whispered as he put me on his back.

"I know but maybe you can stay with me if you want. Okay?" he said.

"ok." I said as I shut my eyes.

We began to glide, but I didn't have to do anything but hold onto his back. He reached back and pulled me off his back within minutes, telling me that we were at his house. I was surprised that we had gotten here so quickly.

"How…how did you do that?" I asked, amazed.

"I'll explain everything later, but now you have to meet my family." He said, carrying me.
