Chapter 1

Today was my so called 18th birthday or should I say the starting of my "Nightmare". which I never knew will happened today.

My parents send me off to the so called "Chosen Zone". Which is every woman who turned 18 today will be send off there. As me and the other chosen one's stand on our each places wearing a white dress that only covers half of our thighs as we waited for our mate's, which I don't believe that exist.

as I tried to think about how to escape as time flew fast. I suddenly thought about a risky idea to escape which is almost impossible but I don't have any choice left I can't just stand here waiting for my death.

I hear some noises around the place while my parents started to cry quietly.

After a few seconds there's some people and werewolves started going out of nowhere, "wait people?" as another question pop inside my head.

The werewolves turn into their human form and started to go to their mates and those so people or whatever they are, did the same but I guess my calmness didn't last long as one of the so called people smiled showing it's fangs as everyone's eyes widened with shock that when we realized those people are not humans they are vampire's*!

Everyone was so terrified as I take the chance while my mate haven't arrived yet as I secretly run towards the forest. I run towards where my feet could bring me. I realized someone was actually following me!

I keep running and running but he is coming closer! I'm not ready to die yet!

The wind is cold, my feet is tired but I still keep running faster. I accidentally trip over a fallen branches. I struggle to get up but I felt someone lift me up.

And pinned me down in the tree. as I feel someone's breath under my neck. I wanted to escape from his hold but I can't it's to tight. I struggle again to escape.

He look at me eye to eye.

Which terrified me. As my eye's widened in disbelief. His pupils are red like blood! but most importantly is he has fangs!

He sense my gaze as he hold me tightly and then he smelled my neck near to my collar bone. He place his fangs to my neck to where he smelled it. I started shivering as I tried to struggle but still no effect.

When I was about to stop struggling from his hold. He quickly sucked down my blood.

I pleaded him to stop "Please stop!" I said while tears started streaming down my cheeks. I tried to push him away but I can't I'm too weak. He whispered to my ear saying "The more you struggle the more, it will hurt."

It felt like my neck was pinned down by countless of needles as tears stream down to my cheeks. I close my eyes to relive the pain. I hear him mumbled something under his breath but I can't comprehend it. I feel dizzy I tried to open my eyes but I can't, my eyelids is too heavy. I can't see anything, I don't have a choice but to let the darkness took over me.

STRANGER'S POV:

I saw her trip over a fallen tree branches. She struggles to get up but her small fragile body is to weak to do so as I walked towards where she is. When I get near, she froze after sensing my presence as her blood's aroma called me to come to where she is. I gritted my teeth to control the blood thirst but I can't. So I took the chance and lift her up.

As I pinned her down to the tree and lifted her long straight red hair to her back. As I once again smelled her blood's aroma and let out my fangs that is ready to bite her.

I let the thirst control over me as I sucked her in the neck near to her collar bone, I didn't waste any drip of her blood as I enjoyed tasting her sweet blood bit by bit as I lost control I knew she would collapsed if I keep sucking her blood so I slowly remove my fangs against her neck and licked her neck gently until there's no more traces of blood left.

l watched her as she tried to open her heavy and sleepy eyes as she lost her consciousness in my arms.

l carried her in a bridal style as I run fastly throughout the forest. Soon enough we reached my car. I opened the door of the passenger seat and gently placed her there. I close the car's door slowly wanting not to wake her up. I got in and stared at her for a few seconds before starting the engine and I drive my car.

After 2 hours we reached our destination as I stopped the engine and got out of my car. Once again I slowly opened the passenger seat's door as I opened the car's door. I saw her sleeping beautifully. A small curve formed into my lips as I carried her in a bridal style and slowly sneaked into her room throughout the window as I gently place her to her King sized bed after removing her shoes.

Her small fragile body laying in a king size bed comfortably. I stared at her for a while realising she looked like a beautiful lost Goddess. She have a beautiful dazzling face and a long dark red beachy wave hair with a long curled eyelashes and a perfect shape of body. I heard her tried to mumbled something as if she had a nightmare.

After few minutes. I decided to go back to my place since the sun is almost setting up. I gently carries her reddish cheeks as I carefully kissed her in the forehead not wanting to wake her up I slowly left her bed and walked towards the window I once again stare at her sleeping posture before completely leaving her room.

ASH'S POV:

Some loud noise ring beside me as I tried to open my heavy sleepy eyes. I looked around and I was surprised why am I in my room, the loud noise keep ringing beside me as I turn my head to the side where my phone keeps ringing.

I picked it up and check the caller's ID. I couldn't help but chuckled softly, it turns out it was my bestfriend Lexi. Who was calling me. I quickly answer her call. As she said loudly "Hey, dumbass wake up! I've been calling you since early in the morning but you never answered the phone!" I couldn't help but giggle softly before responding to her sentence "Well I'm sorry I've been pretty busy lately that's why I forgot to answer your calls." I said hoping she won't find out I lied. she responded quickly saying " Oh really huh?your so bad at lying it is obvious that you had just woken up because of your husky voice" she said while laughing at me as I couldn't help but laughed at myself too and she added " Well you should get ready before I barged into your house wildly!" but before I could respond she quickly hung up the phone.

As I looked at my clock realising it is already 4:30 in the afternoon as I tried to remember of last night's event but I couldn't the only thing I could remember is when I run fastly in the woods. I still have many questions in mind that is hard to answer as the questions keep ringing inside my head driving me crazy.
