All Chapters of First Bite: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

It was a warm summer night just after sunset in Chicago people were all about unaware of the danger that surrounded them; I, however, was completely aware of the danger everyone was in. There was a vampire hiding in the shadows, looking for his next unsuspecting victim. He was your classic looking vampire; tall, dark and handsome; and oh-my-gosh his eyes were to die for; they looked as if he could pierce your soul and see life through the windows of your soul. Well, at least that was how I felt, and then I noticed he was looking at me. Me? Me! He was heading towards me. Did he know that I was thinking about him?? Did he know that I was immensely attracted to him? Did I mess up his plan because I noticed him??? Damn my vampire knowledge from books and movies! "Hello there, Miss," the vampire said "Um, hi to you too," I said, totally off guard. I was completely caught up in my own thoughts. "May I ask what your name is, I saw you from across the street and couldn't resist coming t

"Earth to Autumn, damn are you there?" as she waved her hand in my face."Sorry Jade, I'm a little off, let's go to my room so we can have a little privacy". We shot Alex a look and made it to my sanctuary."Autumn what's up? I haven't talked or seen you in a while.""I'll tell you if you help me finish packing for school. Are you ready to leave for Western next month?"Jade nodded. As we packed my belongings I told her about Tristan all but the vampire thing; she would laugh and have me committed. For the next hour or so we packed in silence, she hadn't said anything about my encounter except "uh-huh" and "hmm-hmm" (that by the way is so very odd). I can't say she's one of my less outspoken friends, but she said nothing until we were finished packing (actually that is quite amazing since it took so much longer in the past, usually I do all the packing myself, I digress)."Not to mention I'm going out with him tonight, though I don't know when—" In the middle of my sentence I sen

A month had gone by and I saw Tristan here and there and it was becoming more apparent that he was hiding something from me. Just last night he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes but at the same time I was sad because I'm leaving tomorrow and he's not moving there with me but he promised after we were settled in at school he'd come as soon as I called I still don't understand the moving great distances instantaneously thing but I will call after I'm all settled in. He won't be able to see me off but we are leaving at an ungodly time of the morning. We're leaving at 4 am to beat rush hour traffic in Chicago, Alex's idea and even though he hasn't met Tristan he seems to be warming up to the idea that he's my boyfriend. Boyfriend! I like it. I like him. I decided I wasn't going to sleep tonight I'm too excited to see the house and Tristan had a present sent there for me, I wonder what it is. I wonder when we're going to have a conversation about the vampire feeding thing. I kno

We arrived at the mall, and frankly, Jade and I were ready to shop until we dropped. Which seemed Likely at this mall. We went to Sephora, Coach, DSW, Old Navy, Ulta and many more stores. The guys hoped for the day to end at any time. We shopped for a couple hours and Tristan handed me some gorgeous clothes with wedges, it was a tube top shirt that was in the most stunning shade of blue and a pair of Paris Blue jeans. When he did this I had no clue, I could have sworn he was with us the entire time and he was even nice enough to get Jade a red halter top. We stopped to eat at Friday's, Dom's choice.At the restaurant the Dom had a fajita, Jade a cheeseburger while boyfriend and I both ordered their 'mac n five cheese' macaroni and cheese with bacon and grilled chicken and I had a Lynchburg Lemonade, everything was so delicious. We were all stuffed when we left so stuffed that we just checked into the nearest hotel and got a two joined suits but were too tired to even hang out. Well s

“Ah, so Jaiden has conveniently neglected to mention that he has more older siblings than just Tristan? It's intriguing to think about what other secrets he might be hiding from his companions.” Alexis cast a teasing glance at Haiden, a mischievous grin playing on her lips. However, deep down, she understood that Jaiden had never truly embraced his role as the baby of the family. The very thought of it made him uneasy, and his name, which was merely a letter inspired by the names of her twins, only deepened his feelings of inadequacy. Jaiden wrestled with an inferiority complex, burdened by the weight of being the youngest among a family of accomplished siblings.Haiden stepped forward with an easy confidence, ready to fill the silence. “In that case, let us properly introduce ourselves, so we’re not perceived as rude. I’m Haiden,” he said, his tone casual yet firm, “and the woman attempting to bore a hole through your forehead with her glare is Alexis.” He leaned back slightly, a pla
