"Don't, Don't Flinch, you can't hurt her, look just look at her.don't you recognise her. Darn you Flinch, LOOK." Kristy panicking trying to stop him from making the biggest mistake and regret of his life.

He looked at the girl in the eyes, her bright pale blue eyes and halted to a stop and turned away to let her be. Doing so the girl ran away down the alleyway.

Flinch now looking forward towards the opposite street watching as vircles drove past he was in a daze.

He was confused, hungry and most of all wondering what the hell was he going to do now.His pulse well he doesnt have one, with imagination it would be going pretty fast like drum beats of complete crazy. All of a sudden he spoke to Kristy and said.

"I gotta go"

"Flinch where are you going?" "Flinch! "

Kristy shouted after him but it was no use, he had already ran off in the speed of a bullet into the darkness.Gone just like that...

"Laura's POV"

Standing there so affraid of what was going to happen to me and thoughts were flooding my mind that this maybe my last breathing moment alive. What was he going to do to me? He just came out of no where. What did he want?

He pounced on me grabbing me around my throat my legs like jelly, i was fighting my best with all my strength to get him off of me, but it was no use he was to strong. A girl is begging him to not hurt me why the hell is this happening to me.

I could feel the air slowly going from my body.my fingers and body starting to tingle in pain from starvation of oxygen.

Why are his eyes so red they look so terrifying what is he. Is he on drugs or something.

God help me please, please i dont want to die. He's looking straight at me, staring at me just staring. Suddenly he lets his grip go from around my neck, doing so i stagger to the floor gasping and wheezing trying to catch my breath, my face so damp with tears, my whole body in shock frozen shaking. He just stood there looking again straight at me, then turned away facing his back towards me.

Was i to run. Trying to shake off the shock i took the chance and i ran. I kept running as fast as my wobbly legs could go, my heart racing. I kept going fearing he could be coming after me again.

I got to the safety of my home and ran upstairs, threw my bag to the floor and just shut my door and locked all my windows, turned off all my lights and sat in the corner of my room curled up crying.

I have never felt so much fear until this day. Well to think of it i have never been attacked before which meaning almost being killed.

My heart still beating fast. I'M ALIVE!

With a deep breath i whipped back the tears trying to relax myself, taking more and more deep breaths. And a few minutes after my tears had stopped falling.

What the hell was happening? I questioned myself whilst turning on the bed side lamp.and climbing into bed.

What was he? why was he trying to hurt me, l don't understand, I'm so frightened.

'OUCH' touching my neck of which ached with every touch.bruising already clearly formed around where his hands had been when griping me.

So many questions was running through my head whilst lying in bed, wondering to myself what the hell had just happened to me tonight. WHO was that guy or THING! His face scared me terribly, his eyes! what was wrong with his EYES! I can't get over them, they were so dark and blood shot red. How did his eyes look like that.

Who was that other girl with him, why was she trying to help me, ok yes if it was not for her i would probably be dead right now but still. Why did she say to him didn't he recognise me. I truly don't know that thing, who was he and what is he?

I couldn't handle no more my head was spinning with to many questions flowing through it. The shock took over me and before I knew it within minutes I had blacked out fast asleep.

"Flinchs POV"

I was so hungry. I followed this scent it was so close. A girl walking through a dark alleyway my perfect chance for a meal. No one can stop me having food, i need food. Slowly i started to stalk the girl.

I thought why not i scare her alittle boil her up alittle make her taste even more tasty. So putting up my hood, i run straight past her so quietly she didnt even realise i was coming and on purposely bumping into her and carried on running as soon as it got too a dark enough spot where she couldnt see me, i waited, i could sense the shock and fear that ran through her blood. It was mouth watering making me even more hungrier. Slowly i pull down my hood and start to walk back up towards her, and as soon as i got close enough i pounced forward towards her, grabbing her arm, she yelped out and pulled away trying to run away that made me angry.

She tripped over and stumbled to the floor getting up she slowly walked backwards away from me. I'm so hungry.

I kept thinking of food, the taste i could not control anymore i needed her badly i need to feed.

Thats when kristy came, she started to pull me back, telling me to stop. I pulled her off i carried on walking to wards that beautiful dinner of mine.

So, so hungry. I grabbed the girl's throat and started to feel more and more hunger, aching to feed, squeezing harder and harder on the neck feeling slowly the girl's life fading through my hands gripped around her throat.

Kristy kept shouting and shouting down my ears, that's when i looked and stared straight into the girls eyes, her face wet with all the tears, her face turning paler and paler. For some reason i could not go any further, releasing the grasp of my hands around from the girls neck i took a step back, her body falling to ground, gasping for air.

My heart was sinking with pain just looking at her so i turned away and let her be. Doing so she ran off. I could not take the feeling i was going through right now, i could not explain why, but i was so confused with myself so i ran and ran quickly away.

I couldn't help myself I was so hungry, her scent was so sweet and delicious. But her eyes the fear I could see in her eyes!, I felt pain inside me, thats why I couldn't do it, that I couldn't hurt her but WHY?

Why did I care so much for her she was just a human girl. what was so special about her. I couldn't hurt her, I just couldn't, so I just ran feeling ashamed. I Can't stop thinking about her, why can't I get her out of my head.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!

What was Kristy on about? why did she try stop me from hurting this girl why did she say don't I recognise her?

WHO WAS THIS GIRL!!

"Laura's POV"

I felt cold that night, shivering under my covers. I woke up and checked my clock. '4am'.

Wow, I must have had a bad nights sleep to be up so early in the morning.

I looked outside my window, it was still dark outside. My throat was alittle dry, I decided to go get some water from the bathroom. stepping out of my bed, popping on my fluffy pink slippers, yes i love pink, they were my favourite slippers.

I walked towards my bathroom door, when all of a sudden I got a cold rush go through all my body, sending my head spinning and throbbing in so much pain.

I started to hear screaming in my head it would not stop. 'OWE' I yelped in agony. It hurt so badly.

I fell onto my knees holding my hands on my head pushing hard trying to make the pain stop. what the hell was happening to me!

A voice came over the screaming, the voice spoke my name.

"Laura" "Laura, I'm sorry"

The strange male voice was saying sorry. I could not recognise it but he sounded scared, but familiar somehow but i could not figure it out. Who was he? Why was he saying sorry, what was he screaming about?

After a few more agonising minutes, the pain started to wear off, and then it went dead silent. What had just happened? Where on earth did the screaming come from and why did it cause me so much pain?

Removing my hands from my head i stood up, the throbbing had stopped but then I felt nausea take hold of me, I couldn’t help it I felt so dizzy the room was spinning.

I ran to the bathroom, lifted the toilet seat and vomited. Grabbing the nearest damp cloth i wiped my face and mouth. Slowly standing up made my way to the sink and filled a glass of water and gulped it down to try clear my throat, i could still taste the vomit so i decided to brush my teeth.

Still feeling dizzy i thought to myself it best i go back to bed, take the day off from work as I felt like hell. No way can I work in this state I thought to myself.

Once again i looked at the clock ‘4.30am’ wow time went past so fast, that’s so weird.

I filled myself another glass of water, i walked over and placed it on my side dresser next to my bed, sat down and took my slippers off, curled myself up into bed , wrapped myself up and fell asleep.

"Flinchs POV"

I didn’t know what was up with me. I kept having dreams of her; I knew her name in my dreams but did not remember it when I woke up. All I get is a deep feeling of care and worry when I wake up I can’t explain it. How can I not remember someone I’m supposed to know? Who is she? I need to know!

I could still feel her, I could sense she was near I have to see if she’s ok. I’ll just follow her beautiful scent. And boy did she have such a sweet scent it gave me shivers down my arms and spine just thinking about it.

The scent led me not far from my house it lead me to a two story building, pale white, very posh looking, ‘she must have a rich family’ I muttered to myself.

It was in the middle of the forest. Why would her scent lead me into the forest and to this house?!

I KNOW THIS HOUSE!

It can’t be her. She can’t live here, IT JUST CANT BE!

I’d remember if it was her living here in this house.

I used to come here every summer when I was younger with my family. We used to visit our neighbours. A young girl lived here we used to go everywhere together; and we would run through the forest, when one day we actually found this amazing waterfall. There was a lake with the most beautiful flowers around it. We would come to this special place everyday together.

We even carved our initials on a tree next to the lake so we would always remember it was our special place and no one else’s. I came many years with my family but we stopped visiting after many years. For the reason I’m not human well not completely. I’m a vampire you see and now that I’m no longer a teenager I do not age very fast hardly at all even. So for me to visit my neighbours now they would know something’s up.

But I wasn’t born a normal vampire, as I grew up like a normal human would, as for vampires they grow to full adult quicker than humans do. You see I’m half vampire, half human. But my parents don’t know how it happened as they were both were vampires when my mother fell pregnant with me. But they accepted what I was.

But this girl it can’t be the same girl. I had to check to be sure. I climbed the vines on the side of the house to get to her balcony of which her curtains were open. I looked in and there she was just laying there peaceful, fast asleep. But something felt wrong; I could sense pain she was in pain. HOW?

Was it because of me? Did I hurt her deeply?

I just want to hold her and tell her I’m sorry. WAIT! Why am I saying that? She’s just a human girl. Why do I feel this way towards her, I don’t understand, that’s when I noticed it...

On the side on her dresser there was a photo frame facing towards her the picture…

The picture was me and her together by the waterfall.

HOW?

How is it her? I was told the family moved years ago.

WHY?

Why is she here? Why was I lied to? Placing my hands on the window tears filled my eyes. I’m crying for her I want to hold her. But I cant she knows I’m a monster. I looked up…

Her eyes were open she was looking straight at me.

“Laura” I whispered to myself “I’m so sorry”.

I couldn’t let her see me like this. I hate myself. Jumping down from the balcony i just ran and kept running away.

"Laura’s POV"

I had the strangest dream, I dreamt I was by a lake, with a beautiful waterfall and that’s when he showed up. THAT THING! That thing that tried to kill me but some how he looked different his eyes were normal, brown eyes. He had pale skin and dark brown hair just above the shoulders it wasn’t to long but not to short.

But he looked scared, I could see fear and regret I his eyes. That’s when I woke up.

I could see a shadow of a figure on my floor I looked up towards the window, and I complete shock, he was there standing at my balcony window. How did he get up there but most of all why was he there and why was he crying. He was shaking. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him and want to hold him in my arms.

WHY did I care for him? He’s the one who tried to kill me!

That when he looked up at me, staring straight at me in the eyes. His eyes were so beautiful and brown just like in my dream. But they were full of pain, tears falling down his face. I could see him whisper something but I couldn’t make it out and within seconds he was gone.

I just laid there thinking to myself, and for some reason i felt more afraid than i ever felt before and so very alone. My head was overwhelmed, my heart was fall of many emotions that i could not get to grisps with. What am i going to do? How am i going to find out why he was by my window? What was he? Was he wearing contacts those eyes looked so real when he attacked me? Why was he back what did he want to do to me?

Finish the job...

And definately one hundred percent shaw i would have known if i knew a killer and i dont!

But then with them carm cool brown eyes, they were so fall of warmth and sadness. It made me care for him deeply. Was he lonely? What was he crying about? So many questions but not one answer for any. Was he going to come back thats the biggest question.

With those tears rolling down his face maybe he was trying to tell me something i maybe nuts for thinking this but i want him to come back i really want those answers and i wont rest and will not give up till i have them.......

This story I wrote leaves the story with cliff hanger. Which leaves it open for continuation for second part if not more. Hope you guys like.

I think it was a great idea to leave room for a continuation. There were some grammar and spelling mistakes, but if those were edited this would be a gripping read ;)
