PREFACE


I never loved anything more than I loved Quinn. I didn’t think I could ever fall in love like this. I read it in stories but I never had felt it. And I don’t think anybody ever will. Their will never be another like Quinn. Their will never be anyone that I love more. Nobody ever loved me the way Quinn before.

CHAPTER ONE

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Ugh….some days I wonder why I got an alarm so loud. It gets real annoying and it’s so irritating.

My name is Elisha Gordon and I live in a small town called Daleville. I moved here with my aunt Cheryl two months after I was born because my mother’s friend couldn’t take care of me anymore. My mom dead. She died when I was born and nobody knows who or where my father is. People say him and my mom was madly in love. Yea right. Because if they were so madly in love he would have been there for my birth or at least her funeral.

Damn. I can’t find anything to wear today. Probably because I didn’t wash any of my cloths on washing day. I didn’t feel like it I guess. All I can find is my black shirt that says “bite me” on it and some skinny jeans. If I wear my black pumps with it and it will look a little cute. I got dress into the outfit I decided to wear today grab my book bag and went down stairs and into the kitchen for some breakfast. Then I started to pull me a bowl of cereal.

My aunt says that I should wear purses sometimes and be more lady like. Ugh just because I wear heels she expects me to wear purses too. I mean come on, don’t every girl wear heels. She’s barely even here because she has to work all the time she don’t need to bug me about it. She already gave me chores to do, food to buy, and things to get for the house. Sometimes I really feel like the house keeper around here.

I looked down at my hands. I really need to repolish my nails. I’m always working on cars and things like that so my hands get rough. I don’t wear any pink or things like that. Its way too girly for me. All I wear is red nail polish because it goes beautiful with my chocolate skin and my long but not too long black hair. My Aunt Cheryl skin is more of a caramel type complexion. On the days that she is here she tells me that I look a lot like my mom. Im done with my cereal so I put my bowl in the sink and headed out the door. When I got outside I saw a man on a black motorcycle and was wearing a black leather jacket. He was sitting right across my house. I couldn’t see his face because he had on a helmet. He doesn’t look familiar so who could that be. I start to walk over to see who it is but he starts to drive off. Who does that? That’s real weird. Ohh well. I probably never see that creep again anyway. I turn around get into my car and start to drive to Katie house. Katie has been my best friend since kindergarten even though she is the total opposite of me. She has strawberry blond hair and is as skinny as a twig. I have curves of course. She is also as white as snow. When we was little her nickname use to be snow white. By the time she was old enough to get a tan she didn’t want one. She said she loves her complexion as much as I love mines and I can’t argue with her on that. Katie starts to run out the door when her mom calls after her yelling.

“Goodbye Katherine”

“Mom I told you to call me Katie” she says

“But that’s what I named you when you were born so ill call you by your birth name until the day you change it. Oh hello Elisha how’s your aunt?” Katie mom says with a big smile on her face as she flips her perfectly blond hair.

“She’s fine Mrs. Andes and I told you that you can call me Elli.”

“But that’s not your name you was born with” she yells back

She then turns around and shut the door. Katie rolls her eyes then jumps in the car and gave me a big hug.

“What was that for?” I asked her as I pushed her away.

“Because my birthday is tomorrow and im going to keep hugging you until I get what I want from you and that’s for you to wear a pink dress to my birthday party so we can match.”

“But I don’t wear pink. I really don’t do pink Katie and you know that. Why couldn’t you do a different color like purple?”

“Because purple is your favorite color and pink is mines. Come on please…ill wear purple to your 18th birthday party next year.”

“Fine. But im not going to like it.”

“I know” she said smiling

“You know sometimes I wonder why we became best friends.”

We start to laugh as I pull off and im not the only one who thinks that. Even though I was playing everybody else talks about how the high school cheerleader end up best friends with the town bad girl. Well we have a lot in common is what Katie tells people when they ask her. Nobody ask me that question anymore because the last boy who asked me was a football jock and I broke his leg by pushing him out the car. I pull up to the school parking lot and I barley parked my car when Katie jumps out and hugs her boyfriend matt. That irritates me sometimes. She could at least wait. She’s lucky I like matt because other wise I would have ran him over with my car. Matt starts to wave at me when I get out the car and I wave back as I catch up with him and Katie.

“How’s it going Elli” matt says with one arm around Katie

“Im fine matt and can you please tell your girlfriend that next time she jumps out my car like that she won’t be so lucky”

“Awe give her a break. I would have done the same thing because I missed her that much.” He says while looking at Katie with a big smile on his face.

We all start to laugh when I notice I left my bag in the car.

“I left my bag”

I turn around and that’s when I see him again. The man that was outside my house. What was he doing here? Did he follow me? Was he following me? How long was he sitting there? While all these questions were going threw my head Katie runs up to me with a worried look on her face.

“Elli what’s wrong?”

“That man across my street-----he was outside my house this morning.”

“Do you want me to call the police?” matt says as he pulls out his phone

“No that’s ok he never got close and he wont be so lucky if he does” I said still looking at him as I said it.

“Don’t try to do this on your own Elisha if that creep is following you let me handle it.” Matt says with a strait face.

Sometimes he acts like he’s my big brother more than my friend. That’s probably why I like him so much more than all of Katie other boyfriends. So we just turn around and walk off. When I look back the man on the motorcycle was gone and once again I say to myself “creepy”

CHAPTER TWO

QUINN’S STORY


“Excuse me sir”

The big man with the beard finally turns around.

“Yes how can I help you young man?” he said not looking at me again.

“Yea well I have ordered 50 raw stakes that’s uncooked do you have them?” I asked

“Well yea I have them right here and do you mind me asking what you are doing with all these uncooked stakes?”

“Yea I do” I said

The big man gave me a grim look and I can tell by his face that he was wondering what my expression was under my helmet. Truthally he shouldn’t want to know. I really want to pull his head off his shoulders right now. I know my eyes are black like they usually are when I get angry. Instead of saying anything he hands me the box of stakes. Even though deep down I wish he did say something so I can punch him in his face and knock his head off his shoulders I grab the box and walked out the door.


-----------------------


I yell im home as I throw the box of stakes and my helmet on the table and of course Ashton is the first on to come down the steps. But not for me but for the box of steaks I bring home all the time. I just bring enough stakes for me but Ashton takes some of them when he can. He always asking me why I don’t bring any for the school. And I always tell him that’s not my job. Im not the fucking food guy. I just get them because I don’t like the vegetarian food the chef here makes.

“Hey bro. how’s it going” Ashton says not even looking at me but eyeballing the box.

“How could you be so rude and stupid Ashton” a girl voice says with a hiss.

I know that she is mad because I can feel her anger coming threw the walls. What have he done this time.

“Brittany I told you I was sorry” Ashton says with a wimping sound.

“Yea whatever” cry’s Brittany.

“What did you do this time” I say with a smile on my face.

“I bit her while we were having sex.”

I start to laugh and roll on the floor. While I was having the laugh of my life Brittany comes down the stairs. I pick myself up and straighten my cloths.

Brittany is a beautiful girl. She has ruby red hair and a rocking body. The only thing I don’t like about her is that she is too colorful and always being nice to everybody. Even if their not being the same way with her. She can’t protect herself with that type of personality. It never changed since she has been turned. She also always happy all the time. What is there to be happy about every single day? I asked her that once and she said it’s because she has all of us in her life. She can be a annoying bitch sometimes but I will never tell Ashton that because even though im the best fighter here Ashton is one of the strongest and one of the biggest vampires I ever met. Ashton is built with mussels and has shaggy brown hair in a short cut. I work out but I don’t even have half of the mussels Ashton has.
