My name is Sara freeman. I'm a seventeen-year-old In high school. My mom and dad split up and gave full custody of me to my mom. She was so protective of me but who wouldn't be when the supernatural creatures came out of the closet so to speak. she ain't worried about shifters most of them are nice the Fae keep to themselves also, it's the vamps she's worried about. you see my dad is a vamp so naturally, my mom hates them my dad is a good guy though. That's where my story begins the night my life changed forever all because I made a mistake. That is the night I started hating vamps.
"Sara it's time to get up for school." Ugh, school sucks. "ok mom I'm up."
I'm staring at my closet after my shower and decided on a pair of my faded bootcut blue jeans and a black tank top that says fabulous in pink letters with a pair of black boots to top it off. After getting dressed I put on eyeliner and mascara and a little lip gloss, brush my long blonde hair grab my backpack and purse, and head down to breakfast.
"I have your favorite ready sweety." mom states as I sit at the table. Yum, lucky charms iv loved them ever since I can remember."Thanks, mom! I love you!" " love you too sweety' she responded."
After eating I got in my chevy Silverado my dad gave me and headed to school.
my First class of the day is math and I hate it. I don't hate it because it's hard it's that it's too easy for me. So I sit there doodling in my notebook because I am already finished my assignment. Finally, the bell rings.
My second period is equestrian studies, my favorite class. My friend jenny also is in this class. I get started right away mucking the stall after I get my mucking boots on and get everything I need from the supply closet. After getting all the old hey out of the stall I dump my wheelbarrow in the manure pile and get fresh hay. Just as I finish the stall my teacher comes in with snow the horse I'm using.
"Why don't you brush her for me Sara she was ridden last class so she needs it." "yes, I can do that no problem."
I spent the rest of class brushing snow and feeding her treats. Once the bell rings I'm headed to English.
As I walk into class my teacher reminds me we have free time today because it's the last week of school so I spend the time writing in my journal.
Finally, lunch comes and I sit with jenny with my pizza and salad. We eat in silence then we talk about summer till it's time to go to history.
Once again it's free time the teacher printed off some historical word searches and put on a movie.
Time for science then one class to go. I walk into my science class and once again a movie so I sit back and watch the movie till it's time to go.
Then comes the last class of the day PE but luckily the teacher is Just letting us walk around the gym.
I finally make it through all my classes when I decide to stop by the bulletin board on the way to my locker and as I'm looking at an ad for a tutoring job a flyer pops out at me. As I read the flyer I realize it was for the end-of-the-year party thrown by the football players.
"Hey, are you going?" my friend Jenny asked."I don't know if mom will let me but I'm going to try." "ok well, I hope you get too ill be there and so will the whole football team this will bring up our social status." "bye jenny see you later." She waves as I get in my truck and drive off now to convince mom to let me go.
"Hey, mom I'm home." "Hi sweety how was your day?" "It was ok. I wanted to know if I could go to the end-of-the-year party tonight its at the park in the clearing, please?" "No there will be drinking and you know damn well Vampires come out at night."
"But mom everyone will be there ill be safe." "No, and that's my final answer." "It's not fair!" I yell as I storm to my room.
A few hours later Mom yells "Dinners done!" I respond "I'm not hungry." "I will put some in the fridge for you for later it's lasagna your favorite." "Whatever mom."
As I lay on my bed I get a great idea. I'm going anyway.
I get ready for the party and then slip out my bedroom window into the night.
As I get to the park I run into jenny who is talking to the football team.
"Hey, you came!" she says. " yeah I had to sneak out my mom didn't want me to come. she thought it was too dangerous cuz of vamps." "Damn hopefully you don't get in big trouble." " Let's go have some fun lets dance"
As we are dancing time slips by and I lose track of jenny so I go look for her. As I look I see she's with a guy making out so I leave her be and go find the punch. As I'm standing there drinking two of the football players drunk off their asses come to talk to me.
"hey beautiful what are you doing?" the first one says while the other skirts behind e to block me in. Feeling uncomfortable I respond "I'm just leaving." As I try to get by them they block me in some more. " Oh come on sweetheart come dance with us we don't bite." " no id rather not I need to get home." "dance with us just once." the other says. "Leave me alone or I will scream!"
Before they can respond jenny comes up with the guy she was with and states "boys I think you should leave her alone." They take one look at the guy and take off.
"Thank you so much they would not take no for an answer." No problem I can't leave you alone for a second can I? lol." "well I'm going to head home before my mom freaks too much." "ok see ya girl good luck."
As I get in my truck I pick up my cell and notice mom called several times and texted me once. But the text was unreadable. Something felt wrong so I called her and it goes straight to voicemail. Somethings not right so I book it out of the park and head home.
As I pull up I know something is wrong. The front door is wide open and it's deadly quiet. I get out of my truck and instantly start yelling for my mom. "mom are you there? where are you, mom? I'm sorry I snuck out quit joking." As I walk into my kitchen my world starts crumbling around me. There on the kitchen floor with her broken phone in her hand lies my mom. She was deathly white with a look of fear on her face. eyes unseeing staring at the ceiling.
"Mommy no please let this be a dream." I run to her as I scream. There is no helping her she's gone. I stumble outside and get my phone from my truck.
"911 how can I help you?" "yes my name is Sara freeman and I just got home to my mom dead on the kitchen floor please send someone I'm scared." Stay on the phone with me sweet heart I have pinged your location cops are on the way. Is there somewhere safe you can go?" "yes I locked myself in my truck." "I see the police now they just pulled up." " ok sweety take care."
As I sit there an officer comes with his badge out and knocks on y window. I must be in shock because I didn't see or hear him approach. I unlock my door and try to open it but couldn't get my hands to work. The cop took pity on me and opened the door for me.
"Hi, mam I'm officer smith and I need to ask you some questions." "No problem officer but I don't know much."
"Just tell me what you know."
"ok officer. well, I snuck out tonight to go to the end-of-the-year party at the park I left my phone in the truck because my mom didn't want me to go and I didn't want her to yell at me. Before I left the party I checked my phone and she had called several times and texted once but I couldn't understand the text. so I called her and it went straight to voicemail. I felt like something was wrong so I hurried home. I came in calling for mom but when I got in the kitchen I found her she was already dead."
"ok, can I see the calls and text just to confirm?" " Yes, no problem." I hand over my phone and show the officer. "thanks hun let me go talk to the other officers now that they finished with the house." No problem but can I call my dad he lives in Nashville, TN but he needs to know." "That's not a problem be right back."
As the cop walked away I dialed dads number. "Phillip here." "Daddy it's me mom is dead." I then broke down and told him everything that happened. "ok sweetie I and your brother are on our way we will take my friend's jet be there soon." "ok, dad. bye."
After I got off the phone with the cop I told him what my dad said and he said that was good because I couldn't go without a parent. Then he told me it looked like a vampire surprised my mom and attacked her in the kitchen no other room was touched.
After he told me that I asked if I could take a shower and go to my room and pack some stuff for when my dad got there. "yes no problem and I'm sticking around till your dad gets here that way I know where you will be staying."
I go upstairs and grab some clean clothes and take a long hot shower then I go to my room to pack.
first I grab the big duffle bag from under my mom's bed and then go to my closet. I pack enough clothes for a week and then I grab my jewelry box and my laptop. I then go into moms room and grab the picture of us on her bedside table. After that, I grab my bathroom stuff by the time I'm done I hear a car pull up.
I leave the bag and rush downstairs in time for my dad to walk in the door with my adopted brother.
"daddy I cried and jumped into his arms." " I'm so sorry baby girl but I'm here now."
"Hello sir I'm officer smith your daughter filled you in on the phone we are still investigating but I need to know where she will be staying for a few nights in case we need her again." "No problem we are on the top floor of the holiday in the penthouse if you need anything." "Jacob go grab your sister's bag out of her room so we can go and she can rest I think she's still in shock."
The first thing I did was text jenny and tell her where I was and why then I laid down and tried to sleep but all I could see were vampires in my dreams. It got to the point I was even jumpy around my dad and brother.
After what felt like months but was a couple of weeks they decided to release her body because there was no evidence other than the vampire bite and her being drained of blood.
Dad planned the whole funeral and I was to speak at it. All I could do is cry most days but I had to pull it together for her.
On the day of the funeral, I wore a long black dress. This is the hardest day of my life other than the day she died. Now it was time for my speech.
"Hello, Mary was the best mom ever she was taken by a vampire but don't know who. I have always been told I look just like her with her blonde hair and blue eyes. she loved Mexican food and coke. She was the sweetest woman you could ever meet and she was taken too soon. She will be missed."
I barely make it to the end of my speech before breaking down in tears again.
After the service, there was food and drink at my mom's house where everyone gave us their condolences. After what felt like hours everyone finally left and dad was cleaning up. I snuck off to my mom's room and curled up on her bed and went to sleep. Tomorrow begins the hard part going through everything packing everything I want getting rid of everything else and moving.
