Introduction

We were sixteen and deadly enemies. Well technically I was sixteen and the vampire was one hundred and sixty.

I was brilliant at killing monsters like this one. Except this one had an advantage over me. Let me start at the beginning …

Chapter 1

'Katie, get your butt downstairs now!' my uncle Phil shouted. I ran downstairs and my cousin, Alex started to point and screech 'It's her fault!' I sighed. Alex was always getting me into trouble. 'Have you been outside at night again?' Phil demanded. 'No. I am a heavy sleeper.' I answered. Phil pushed me outside. The garden was a wreck. Now don't get me wrong, Phil was a great guy taking me in when my dad died last summer but he totally lost it.

'My potatoes are squashed and they were meant to be in the vegetable show next month.' Phil moaned. 'You know what this means, don't you?' Phil muttered pointing at me. 'You must have done this because I grounded you and stopped you from going to the cinema last Monday with your friends.' It was true that he grounded me but I didn't wreck the garden. I just gave him the cold shoulder. Alex started to say something but I cut her off. 'Phil I didn't do it. If you don't believe me ask Alex. She was with me the whole time.'

Of course he didn't believe me so he questioned Alex. 'I wasn't with her the whole night she went off on her own for about two hours.' Alex explained calmly. I was getting angry. Then Phil grounded me for three weeks for lying and leaving Alex by herself. At the same time Alex was sticking her tongue out at me. I was so furious I wanted to throw something at her. Suddenly a leg off the broken garden table went flying at Alex.
