and computer on the right and a door way to my en suite bathroomshower room and a huge king size bed dominating the room. I love this room it’s so peaceful and very me. That was my last thought as sleep over took me. 2 hours later I woke and looked across at my alarm clock.


Chapter 2

I looked at my alarm clocked as I awoke refreshed from my nap, 6.30pm I threw myself out the bed I’ve got a hour to get washed, dressed and be there for 7.30. If I’m late Adam tends to sulk as lateness is another pet hate of his. I strip out of my clothes and jump into the shower and wash quickly. I dry my hair dress in a conservative red top and cardigan and black trousers tie my hair in a knot and clip it up apply minimal make up and head on out. The Royal Oak pub is only a 10 minute drives away but in that ten minutes I made up my mind that I was going to have the talk with him. I’m not happy and have not been for a while.
I arrived just on time to the realisation that Adams car is not on the car park and I have either got to go in on my own and his going to sulk about not waiting for him or sit out here and wait in a dark deserted car park, and to be honest neither option was appealing to me. I decided the latter as if I was going to dump him putting him a bad mood is probably not the best course of action. I turned the radio on and relaxed and got settled to wait.
A few moments later I heard a soft rap on my window I turned and looked and there was a small petite blonde women looking in at me asking me a question I couldn’t hear her with the radio on. I turned it down quickly checked my phone for messages off Adam and there was not one. I Turned faced my visitor and started to whined the window down, when I looked at her again it was the women from out side the school. As I realised I had recognised her she grabbed hold of my car door and wrenched it off throwing it behind her. Typical I thought bloody vampire then panic started to take hold. I dived out of the car and at her legs; this only really made her stumble. I tried to get to my feet my attacker had got me the back of my neck and had pulled me up and pinned me up against the wall. Unable to move I looked at my attacker whose eyes had got a dull red glow that I’ve seen in Kath eyes when she gets violent or hungry. I hoped that she was hungry I was probably going to survive that. She bared her fangs at me making my heart rate jump even higher. I don’t know what happened but bloody hell.
I felt like my whole body began to tingle, and a pressure began to build in my body, I then let out a scream that I could not contain. The look on my captures face was priceless she hadn’t got a clue what I was screaming about, my hand swung forward and pushed against my attacker she then was flung backwards into my car where she remained motionless. I had slumped to the floor to my hands and knees, shaken by the attack and a sudden feeling of exhaustion that washed over me, how I had managed to throw the vampire across the car park. I know I’m capable of moving things but I’d never moved a person that far or hard before not even when I was a child and I’m pretty sure I hadn’t just used my gifts knowing. My next thought was my phone in the car how am I going to get out of here and get home. Then the headache hit, sharp stabbing pains at my temples and behind my eyes, I stood bracing myself up against the wall and trying to keep an eye on the vampire.
A couple with their arms wrapped around one another came out of the pub as a taxi pulled up, I dashed over and when the driver opened the door I flung myself in the back. The couple began to shout as I pulled the door out of the drivers hand and slammed it shut; the poor driver was at a loss and just jumped back in the driving seat. The angry couple who’s taxi I had pinched was still complaining at me through the window.
“Where to lass?” he asked. I mumbled the address as I held my hand in my head fighting to stay awake, and the bumps in the road was causing additional pain in my head every time the driver hit one. The journey seamed like it took forever when it was perhaps 10 minutes in reality. The taxi pulled up at the house when I lifted my head up the driver had come round and opened the door offering his hand to help me out.
“Money is in the house.” I said taking his hand and stepping out the taxi. As my feet touched solid ground my knees buckled and the driver was the only thing that was keeping me from falling to the ground.
“Come lass lets get you home.” he said supporting me as we got to the front door. I glanced up and there was lights on which told me that Kath was home. The driver hammered on the door and the door opened immediately. Kath took one look at me held up by a stranger and made a grab for me pulling me behind her and stood facing off towards the driver.
“Taxi driver helped me home.” I whispered knowing full well being a vampire she could hear me. Straight away Kath relaxed and paid the driver who ran down the drive and drove away without even shutting the door of the taxi. Poor man I thought as she carried me through to the lounge and gently setting me down on the sofa.
“well.” was all that Kath said.
“Paracetamol please.” was my reply I closed my eyes and heard her go to the kitchen and then return. I opened my eyes again and Kath was above me with 2 tablets and a glass of water, she handed them over silently and allowed me time to take them before she asked me again. I handed the glass back to her and explained everything that had happened including Adam’s no show.
“He left a message his care broke down and he will see you the usual time Sunday.” she informed me.
“Oh.”
“I don’t know why you put up with him, his just to, to nice he creeps me out. Its not normal.” she continued.
I had not got the strength to explain I was on the way to finish with him, I was more interested about what I’d done and how rather than my break up with Adam.
“What happened?” I asked and sat up.
“Well a vamp tried to kill you.”
“I get that aunt.” I said sighing as I said it. “I mean what did I do?”
Kath took a seat opposite me and looked me directly in the eye making sure she had my attention.
“Something that I have been waiting to happen for a while now. You used your magical abilities and now you have two options. Firstly you get trained.” I started to protest until she held a finger up stopping me so she could finish. “Secondly if you don’t you may go insane, or it may kill you.”
I was speechless I sat there mute no words escaped my lips. I put my head back in my hands. I felt Kath leave the room and return a few moments later. I had not moved position or had a single intelligent thought in my head and my headache was not getting any better in fact it was worsening.
“Sarah I know its not want you wanted but things have come to a point now that you don’t have to make a choice its been made for you.” tears silently travelled down my eyes.
“I didn’t want this.”
“I know but you don’t have a choice any more. I presume you don’t want to die or go insane.” she stated.
“No” I agreed.
“I have rang a friend of sorts, and he’ll help, train you so you at least won’t burn out. He will be along soon do you wish to sleep for a time?” she asked me.
“I don’t think I could even if I tried.”
“I can assist with that Sarah.” she smiled took my hands and whispered to me telling me to sleep whilst she maintained eye contact with me. My eyes started to closer, all of a sudden I became tired as my energy levels dropped as sleep took over, but not before I heard my aunt “ I’m so sorry Sarah its time.” blackness overcame me and I remembered no more.


Chapter 3


I must have been asleep a while, and I had been moved to my bedroom and dressed in my night clothes. My body was aching but at lest my head was only throbbing now. I took another two tablets that Kath had left for me along with a glass of water on my bedside table. I set the glass down I could hear voices coming from down stairs. I checked my self to make sure I was decent it was only 1.30am and I was not going to get redressed for anyone, as soon as I found out what was going on I was going straight back to bed anyway. I had an old pair of jogging bottoms on and a vest top, and thankfully a bra I tied my hair up and made my way down stairs. As soon as my foot touched the top step the voices I could hear stopped which told me one thing for certain that they had heard me and that they were bloody vampires down stairs other than my aunt. Closing my mouth tight to stop myself voicing my thought as they would have heard it and that’s not the best first impression to make on people that were potentially going to help me. Not only that Kath would kill me not literally but would make me wish she had.
I entered the kitchen grabbed a coffee out of the pot, took a deep breath and entered the lounge where I was greeted by my aunt who had
