could see him, feel him no one else in the world existed; the outside was silent and the only sound that remained was her heart beating. The love they shared was unbreakable, something her father never understood. Her mother left her and her father at the hospital after she was born and the wedding ring he had given her. It was then he gave up on love except the love he would give to his daughter, he cherished every day with her and wasn’t angry with her mother quite the opposite, he was thankful. Everyone knew about Maggie’s mother but never mentioned it not even a whisper because they saw how happy she was and how much she was loved.
     
    Evan still couldn’t help, but wonder if she was really ready for what she was needed for.

    Letting Alex go was more for Lily than him, it wasn’t knowing the life she could have taken from him and would have; it was knowing she would have had the same life. The thought of her sister entered in her mind and anger was harder to get rid of as a vampire.
    She thought by letting him go he could live his dreams not knowing that would never happen. Xavier was on a hunt, he needed to feed. The hunger was gnawing at his insides. It became more than that when he came across Alex, he could smell Lily all over him. She disappeared the night she was turned; he knew Alex would take him to her.
    It was more satisfaction than he planned on getting.
    Maggie didn’t expect to stay at work longer than usual especially when her and her father were supposed to have dinner, she didn’t even have time to call him and cancel with a new body on the table. She removed the sheet revealing Alex’s face, believing he was dead. He had no heart beat and he wasn’t breathing what else was she supposed to think?
    Her father entered the back room, his daughter never stopped even for a moment just to relax and clear her mind not at work.
    “I’m sorry Dad he came in last minute.” The Sheriff didn’t really need an apology, he understood. Before he could speak, the telephone rang and Maggie had to run out.

                  The Sheriff had his backed turned from the body even as a man it wasn’t easy to look at a corpse. If he had, he would have seen the body rise before he was bitten. Maggie tossed the phone after hearing her father’s scream, the body was gone and there was blood everywhere. As he lay on the ground, Maggie grabbed the first thing she could use to stop it.
    “He was a freaking vampire.” The Sheriff managed to say.
    “You’re going to be okay.” Maggie assured him.
    He wasn’t, he closed his eyes; never to open them again. She never thought she would be the one to bury her father and not alone. It would have been hard to explain to the residents what happened to him, it wasn’t something she wanted to do right away and when she was ready it would have been a flat out lie because that was how
