Chapter 1:

Kyler's POV (Age Six)

Another hotel, I miss home. Every few days, we're in a different one. Whenever I ask why, brother just says 'it's fun.'

I don't get it. I shake my head at the thought, looking back at my brother. He's been acting odd.

"Kyler pay attention! You, need to follow the rules we agreed on, okay?"

"Yes, don't treat me like I'm four!" I cross my arms glaring at him. Does he remember how old I am?

"Then don't act like it!"

I let my arms drop to my sides "I want to go home and see Mom and Dad."

Brother stopped getting on his shoes, then looked at me a second. "We can't."

I frown, why does he sound so mad? After he got his shoes on, he yanked on his coat.

"Just stay here and follow the rules."

I nod silently in reply. I watched him grab the key and walk towards the door. He stopped in front of it and looked back at me. He shook his head as he opened the door and left. I stand there looking at the door shut.

Matt's POV

"Kyler wake up!" I call walking in the hotel and letting the door slide shut.

She sat up from the bed farest from the door, mutter a quiet 'huh?' I stop the repacking of our bags and glance up at her again. My senses seem like they are going crazy. First everything is muffled then it's amplified. My sense of smell is the worst. All I smell is blood.

I shake my head trying to clear it. I glance back at her, she's looking at me oddly.

Oh crap! Was I staring at her like food? I quickly look down at out bags.

"Get your shoes and coat on" I say as I start to pack again.

"You got blood on you."

"No it's not, get ready to go."

"I know what it is, I have it on my coat, from-"

She's too observant, I think zipping up the bags. "It's not important, just get ready to go." I answer a second after my thought.

"Matt?"

I resist the urge to growl. Why won't she listen? "Kyler, just listen!"

She nods silently in reply with her eyes wide. I think I let that growl slip. I look away from her quiet.

I watch my sister as she grabs her shoes and coat. She was right about the coat. I think noticing a couple red spots on it. She's been dead silent for a bit now. Great, I scared her. What a wonderful brother I am!

I sigh and start to walk around the room to check we have everything.

I hate this! This is bad, traveling the alley is just as dangerous as traveling the main roads. I managed to catch part of the News and their looking for me and Kyler. The cops think she was kidnapped.

I doubt Kyler would be safer with the cops. If she's with them, the Demon could easily find her. But I'm not sure, she's too safe with me either. Since we left the hotel, all I've smelt is her blood. On top of that I feel pain, like something is attacking my insides. I wince from it as I scan the alley way. Hearing a noise, I grab Kyler's shoulder as I step back, making her move.

Kyler's POV

I step back bumping into brother.

The guy who just got here shook his head looking at my brother. "I gave you a chance to help yourself and ignored it."

With that last part he looked and me and something felt weird. This guy looks scary. I think brother saw something was weird because he grabbed my shoulder again and pulled me out of the way. He crouched down glancing at me.

"It's ok. Don't worry, jus-"

"Just tell her the truth, it's not good to lie to your younger siblings." interrupts the other guy.

Brother froze looking at me then he looked over at the guy. I look at brother then over at the guy. What's going on?

"Your brother killed your parents and he was suppose to kill you too."

Brother, wouldn't do that....I shake my head watching the guy. "No."

Brother stood up and grabbed my shoulder again going to pull me. The guy walked forward the short way quickly and grabbed my arm yanking me towards him. I shriek trying to pull away, but his hold is too tight. He pulled my closer to him and looked over at my brother.

"You have two choices. You kill your little sister or..." he says pausing. He moved his hold to my neck. "...I do." After he finished talking his hold tightened.

A Vampire's POV

I walk over and kneel next to a kid laying on the ground. I shake her slightly "Are you ok?" I ask her, glancing around. I'm glad I showed up when I did. This kid almost died.

She stands up and looks over at the guy dead on the ground. I think it was her brother.

"Um, are you ok?"

She looks at me and starts to shake he head but nods slightly in reply.

I look back at her oddly.

"Brother said not to worry" the kid replies looking up at me.

I nod my head a bit and glance around "What’s your name?"

"Kyler"

The girl looks six and has long dark brown hair with blue eyes.

"So Kyler do you have any family around here?" I ask looking at her again. And notice she has some cuts and other wounds, but she's not whining.

"No" she whispers

I sigh and stand up. Each thing she says is getting quieter. This girl is odd. "I'm going to take you down to the Police Station. Ok?"

She nods but is staring at her brother lying dead on the ground.

"When we get there I'll tell them about your brother"

She nods again and follows me when I walk out of the alley. I glance back and see a quick flash of something turn around a corner in the back of the alley. I shake my head glancing down at 'Kyler'.

The Present

I'm in a dark alley and was about to attack an young girl, maybe 18, with brown hair. But she spun around at the last minute and was about to punch me. I caught her punch in my hand and pushed her back against the alley wall behind her.

She blinks taking in my appearance. "You-your-" she sputters.

Before she can finish her sentence I step back releasing her. It's never a good thing to mess with someone who might be crazy, they usually scream their head's off or something along those lines. It can get very messy.

"You’re the one, the one who saved me" she get outs.

"Huh?" I ask confused. I tilt my head to the side watching her. What's she talking about?

"I'm Kyler" she replies, as if that answers my question.

I looked over her confused. She had medium length curly dark brown hair and light blue eyes. She seems familiar....but why?

Kyler's POV

"I'm Kyler, you stopped the Demon from trying to kill me" I say after the guy just stared at me confused.

"Wow. You look...different" he replies after his eyes went over me again.

"Why'd you save me and not my brother?" I question him while crossing my arms.

He's quiet looking back at me.

"Well?!"

"I think I liked you better when you were six" he answers "You were a lot more quiet."

I glare at him not saying anything. Jerk!

"I was in the area, smelled blood, when I got there your brother was dead and I wasn't about to let a six year old die" he answers quickly watching my face.

I'm quiet for a bit after he said that "So, what are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you that. I was here first. You just got here last month," he replies "But I have things to do".

"Just because you saved my life doesn't mean I won't kill you. If you go after anyone I'll kill you." I state, glancing at him.

He just walks off, out of the alley. But replies over his shoulder at the last minute "Well, you'll have to find me to do that".

I blink watching him walk off. He's annoying....Wait, how'd he know I got here last month?

I stand there a minute before I walk out of the alley, trying to follow him. I stop walking after a couple minutes and look around, he's gone. Great, just great.
