Chapter One

I was standing on the edge of the cliff; she looks down over Caldwell. The lights of the city twinkled showing it was a live. How I wishes I was alive like the city.  My name is Mahven, I am almost 25 and soon would be transitioning into full vampire. I am the only daughter and child to Ana and Chonnor. I am set to wed tomorrow it’s such rule. A stupid prearranged tradition. Thinking about it now I am so angry over that. All I want to do is to be free to make my own decisions. Fall in love with whomever I choose. Rolling my eyes, at my phone ringing it.  Looking down at the phone, of course, it was my mahmen. I silenced the ringing but didn’t push decline. What was that, I narrowed my eyes, I swore I seen something in the dark. There was a shape of someone moving fast towards me. I didn’t have a chance to react before the pale shape slammed into me knocking me down.

My phone sailing through the air, shattering on impacted with the ground. It was the enemy of race, a lesser, he was grinning as he stood up. I looked like a newborn deer stumbling as I stood. The lesser licked his lips as he pulled a knife from his boot. I didn’t realize the edge of the cliff was so close but when I took a step back. Before the lesser could attack the ground gave way sending me into the black abyss below.

The pain was the first thing that register in my mind. It screamed loud and clear before my eyes fluttered opened. Mu head throbbed; I couldn’t move my left leg without having searing pain ripping up the whole side. I go to try and yell for help cries nothing come out but sprays of the coppery taste of blood. Soon the pain numbs and slowly my eyes feel heavy my whole body is heavy like I am being pulled into the depths of the dark water. Peaceful.  

In the darkness of my mind, the pain was gone, it was replaced by the sensation of warmth. It blankets my body. Blinking my eyes open just to squeeze them shut. The warmth I had been feeling was the sun was at high noon. The heat got to be too much so tried to shift but nothing wants to move. Tears roll down my cheeks.  As much as I was upset with my parents for forcing me into this loveless marriage. But right now, all I want is my mahmen and father.  My brain keeps skipping around to drifted to the man I was being forced marry. He had already gone through transaction unlike herself. Dhamien came from a richer family then her own.  I now just wanted my mahmen, my father was the one to push this arrangement. What he didn’t know what that I knew that he had developed a bit of a gambling habit.  With this mating he would begiven a lot of money.  That was the reason why I was on the cliff I had gotten into a fight with him telling me that I was just being sold to the highest bid.  What the doggen had been told by Dhamien’s doggen is that he wasn’t nice he abused them. It made me sick to my stomach I prayed almost that no one could find me then wouldn’t be mated to that man.

Branches around me moved, this is was it.  The lesser had found me to finish off the job. I prepared to enter the fade.  Shutting my eyes and praying to the Scribe. When nothing happened to me, I looked up to the face of golden retriever. The gentle animal licked at my face licking at the tears. The golden dog also laid down beside me keeping me company.  My only hand that that didn’t hurt to move was my right. I started to pet his coat.  I wish my voice was louder than a squeak maybe this dog was like Lassie and would go get help.

Hours later when the sun had gone down, my new friend had stayed curling up to me in fact laying his head on my broken leg. Two very sharp and loud whistles ripped through the darkness. “George!” The dogs lifted his head and his tail thumped a happy beat on the ground. “George!” He got up at the second yell and padded off.  “George, where have you been? Hey Hardass, look at this, I think there is blood on his coat.”  

“That is blood, where have you been buddy? Qhuinn, what way did he come from?” There was a cocking of a handgun, “He came from over there.”  Through the darkness, the sound of heavy boots walking towards came.  I was frighten wishing I could have crawl or hid if she could. “Holy fuck, Quinn we have a female that is extremely injured go get Doc Jane and Manny pronto.  The sound of boots running off matched the beat of my heart pounding in my chest.

“Where did you come from?” The huge male asked as he looked around. With no voice all I could do is move my head enough to look up towards the sky. Tears rolling down my face, God I hate that couldn’t tell him, with everything I do I attempt to talk. Barely a whisper came from my mouth, it’s one single word came. “cliff.”  Butch looked up towards the mountain it had to be a least an80 foot drop. “Fuck me. This is going to hurt, and I am really sorry for that.” That man must have we weren’t going to wait for help to come to us I needed medical attention now.
