Prologue

My mind had been frantic throughout out the night. I had done something unforgivable not to mention killing a vampire in the process. Wasn't I supposed to not be able to feel love or to care? Wasn't I supposed to be unfeeling, unnerving?

I could still seer her cowering in fear under his grip. She had looked at me like I was a red horned demon from hell.

The heavy weights of guilt, sadness and fear had been thrown over me. I was careful to burn the clothes I wore in an alley before returning home. I was oozing of Dawn.

I could still feel the heat from her body, her delicate lips inbetween my own. But all those warm thoughts were dissolved by the thrilling sight of the vampire as he disintegrated into the air. Before yesterday I wouldn't have thought I could kill, and with such ease it only took about a second to do it. But I did I for Dawn. I couldn't let her slip away from me under the arms of that delusional vampire. I heaved out a heavy breath, trying to calm my mind. I had to at least look at ease if I didn't want Jhan to look into my mind.

But one question still troubled my me, it was like an ache in my head that wouldn't go away no matter how hard I tried not to think about it; would she love me if she knew what I was, a demon, a monster, a vampire?

I had to put Dawn in the dust. If I kept what we had up only God knew how long it will be before the others found out. And killed her along with me.
