"who's the new kid" my older sister said, ripping my book out of my hand. approaching us was a russet eyed, high-spirited looking boy. However, no-one expected when he arrived in the quiet suburban neighbourhood on the out-skirts of a small town, known by the name of new cresthill, my "best friend" would be the world's most powerful killer. New cresthill had always been the type of town which criminal records of citizens, major crimes and problems here included drink driving and breaking and entering, so a triple homicide that started when the heartlock siblings came to town was unusual. I've be here since I was 7 weeks old, but it's still been hard being the only rich kid in a 3 hour time zone. I was used to people using me for the £6.1 million family inheritance me, my 28 year old sister, 17 year old sister and 8 year old brother all share. As I explained beforehand, There was only one high school in a 3 hour time zone so it wasn't unusual for new students to start every week. But not one ever wanted to be friends with me until they found out I was only a millionaire.
I was always the type of kid who kept to themselves and didn't have many friends, who didn't pretend to be my friend for the use of the family inheritance. So as you can imagine I was very shocked when new kid, Ryan Heartlock, came up to me wanting to get to know me. That day we went to my house and my mum thought he was a unusual person. I was sitting in the library with my best friend, my sister, when I felt a person plonking themselves down beside me. I turned my head to see new-boy, Ryan heartlock, staring at me intensively. "hi I'm Ryan... and you are?" he thrusted his hand in my face "em, hi I'm Rosie and what are you bothering for or can I get back to my book?" I muttered under my breath. he got up and started wandering away, with a hurt look in his eyes. " don't mind her I'm Rosie's sister, Isabelle, I am so sorry she is so rude, here come sit next to me" I peered on as my sister flirted with this idiot. He switched sides, pulled out a vampire and werewolf mythology book and invested himself in the book and my sister. I felt sorry for him though as I knew Isabelle was not gonna leave him alone now. So from that day forward our friendship developed into something I could almost consider true. Soon after they met, they ended up dating for 10 months. It took me 13 months to realize something wasn't right with Ryan. He never took pictures with me, never looked in mirrors, he never allowed me to go to his home and he almost always had epileptic shocks when in the sun.
Overtime, he started getting me involved in various arguments with other people who already hated me. I told him I couldn't take being used for back-up anymore and said we couldn't be friends no longer. It wasn't his emotional reaction which bothered me as much as his body language did, when ever he was near me he was fidgeting constantly and progressively, I being more and more drawn me into him. His voice, his face even his smell and touch. I tried to stay away but I couldn't, even the power in my mind couldn't keep him away. Ryan wouldn't stop following me, once I even caught me following me on my way home, taking pictures of me. It took my uncle and the police to go to the heartlock residence to make him stop. But that only stopped him for 2 weeks. soon he started stalking me again, messaging me on social media, sending me letters and even kidnapping me nephew landon four times. The kid's a psychopath.
One morning, I awoke in the middle of a darkened forest, in the shadows I recognised a tall, muscular figure slowly approaching me stealthily, I tried to run but I was paralyzed from the waist down. I froze there, wondering if this is the face I'm going to see last in my life. My heart stopped, a vivid picture appeared in my own mind of my last moments, as the figure was leaning over me. I could work out a pair of red and gold eyes and the silhouette of the devil in disguise. It was Ryan. It was him whose got eyes like the devil and a soul as dark as his name "you think was just gonna let you get away with trying to run away from me without me reaching you first did you?" Ryan screamed at me. I tried to speak. "oh yes... silly me I forgot you can't speak can you " a surprised look appeared on my face as I thought "what an earth is this psycho saying". Ryan laughed in a way that could have frightened an innocent baby to death " well firstly... I'm glad to see it's working. That's the venom coursing through your veins, as it finds its way to your pure innocent heart. Then, poor old ruby, you can be a blood sucking demon just like me." my heart began to stop, my veins started to burst out from underneath my burning skin as my brain shut down slowly. I knew automatically in a moment of seconds I would turn in to the worst feared but best hidden predators in the universe.
But well... even though its been about 5 years 2 months and 18 days, yes I've been counting, I'm still more than confused about why Ryan was drawn to me. My mind races every sleepless-night with the scenes of my torture full death on constant repeat. I've discovered that my mum didn't even figure out what I was until she came to check on my cousin, who was staying with us, and found me hovering over her lifeless bloody body with my canines sticking out of my gums. My teeth ache, my jaw stings, my eyes blurring; all due to a curse I got burden with by my "friend".
I ran away from my old life to begin a new life with immortality and a blood lust so strong I will kill my very own family.
