Chapter 1: New life
"Cmon stop hiding!"
"Im not hiding anywhere!"
"I can literally see your shadow!"
Your little 8 year old brother, Lillian, comes out of hiding. Your name is Jezebel Vincent, 16, originally born in St Thomas, US virgin Islands, however your family now lives in a small, neat, but accommodating house in Compton. Your father is a mechanic that works at a local Car mechanics shop nearby, and your mother, is a nurse.
You're a freshman at Compton High School, which most in the neighbourhood believe fairytales and stories where people have seen vampires and werewolves at the dead of night, fighting it out.
A local legend says that vampires and wolves have been at war for hundreds of years, and it's only in the last few years where people in compton have seen sightings of werewolves at night.
"Jezebel! Lillian! Dinner is ready!"
You hear your mother's voice through the window. You follow the smell of freshly baked pumpkin pie into the kitchen. The creamy, buttery soft texture of the pumpkin pie in your mouth brings an immense amount of pleasure.
Your brother, Lillian also savours the taste of the pumpkin pie, as so does your mother. However, your father, refuses to touch it.
"Luther, is everything alright?" Your mother asks.
"Yeah. Everything is fine." He says
He looks worried as he leaves his plate of food and peeps out the window. You watch on, confused.
For the rest of the evening, you enjoy your dinner and spend more time with your family, binge watching movies.
10 pm
As everyone else has already headed upstairs to bed, you switch off the TV and lights. However, you get the dreaded feeling that someone, or something, is watching you.
You take a small peep out the window, only to notice nobody there, but the moonlight filtering through the tall trees.
Your breathing becomes ragged, as your anxiety heightens. You slowly step back from the window, when suddenly an unidentifiable figure whizzes past the window.
You gasp, and tip toe softly into the kitchen to grab a knife, hoping not to alert anyone
You slowly walk out from the kitchen, watching anxiously at the door, when suddenly you hear a growling sound from outside.
You scream for help as you scram up stairs, but suddenly you feel someone's sharp, dirty fingernails pierce deep into your shoulder
"AHHHHHHH--MOMMMM, DADDD!!"
You're then yanked back down the stairs by this figure. You're then thrown into your coffee table, as the figure finally comes into view. A werewolf like creature stands tall over you as you hear your mom and dad make commotion up the stairs. You're knocked out of breath when you realise that this entire time, werewolves were in fact real.
"No please...no...this can't be--"
Suddenly the wolf leaps at you, sinking its teeth into your neck. You scream out in agony as he tears the skin and flesh from your body. Suddenly your mom and dad come charging towards the werewolf, as he takes its attention off of you, while you continue screaming and cryinf
To your absolute surprise, your dad rams himself right into the werewolf, knocking it into the window. Blood violently spills from your bite wound, as your hysterical, teary eyed mom comes over to check on you.
"Baby girl! I got you!! Stay with--"
Suddenly she's knocked completely out of view by the werewolf, which has knocked your father unconscious. You twist your head and plead for your mom to move, but she struggles to get away in time. You watch, as more blood spills, and you begin to feel weaker, and your breathing becomes shorter and shorter.
You can only witness the inevitable, as the werewolf sinks its claws deep into your mother's chest
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
Your father regains consciousness, and as if you're watching the movie twilight, he leaps 3 foot into the air, and lands right on top the creature. He begins wrestling with the creature as you waver in and out of consciousness
(Dad.....)
You watch as your father, miraculously manages to to pin down the werewolf and snap its neck, ending its life. Your mom lays motionless, lifeless, as your face lays in the pool of your own blood.
Your dad weeps, as he cradles your dead mother in his arms. You don't know whether you're dreaming, or hallucinating, however, it is all still scary all the same.
Your dad, whos covered in cuts and bruises, rushes over to you. You're unable to speak, as the amount of blood running out of your body squeezes your oxygen supply.
"Its gonna be ok, I promise". He murmurs. He lifts you up in his arms, and that, is when everything turns black.
