Description December, 12th 1987.
4:10pm - 10:08pm
Age: 13
Name: Addie
    My breath shivered as I fumbled with the ice cold lock keeping me from my warm house.
It made a sound when it opened.  I quickly threw the door open awaiting the warmth emanating from the heaters I had left on while at school, only to find that there wasn't any... It was chillier than it was outside.  What the... I thought to myself, I was sure I had left the heaters on as high as they would go.  I glanced around the room, shrugging off my coat as I went.  This is when it gets strange, as I step out of my shoes I see a slight crackle, I look down at my feet, then I was to acknowledge two things.  The floorboards had a very thin layer of ice... make that frost, and there was a note.  I exhaled quietly watch my breath, as I picked of the note, I was stumped as to who would have slid it under the door in this weather, not to mention put my full name, Addie-Lynn Marient-Lace Hales, usually everyone simply puts Addie.
Unfolding it slowly with my freezing fingers, I whispered the note out loud,

Trust me.
Would you chase me?
Follow me,
pursue?

I wont say a word, long as you're near.
Wont hear my unstable breathing,
You'll only see my breath mingling with the cold.

Will you trust me,
When I say I love you?
Would you follow me,
Into that dark forest, I can see their eyes glow.
Would you let yourself pursue me...
To save me from these nightmares?

Would you let me stay by your side, quietly?
Let me breath deeply, inhaling your scent?
and watch my breath fall in love with the cold?

A shiver ran through me, there wasn't a name and I didn't know the writing, this was all becoming so confusing.  I walked to the table to find another note, this one surrounded by small splatters of ice, like tears that had been frozen it read,

I'll follow you through the lilies,
wander through tall grass.
as long as you stay by my side.

once again the leaves will grow,
more vivid than the spring,
We'll sit under a tree and escape the sun.

Let the leaves tumble and twist with the wind.
Watch them fumble with the ground.
Let them fall in the water as we swim.

you said you'd stay with me,
through that thick white storm,
no leaves and flowers
are lost under out feet.
We leave a silent path,
through our seasons,
never crossing.

I couldn't figure this out, okay so yeah there was a note under the door, but one on the table? The door had been locked; I crumpled the papers and threw them away, not wanting to deal with this.  Not to mention this house was covered with ice.   I let it go, the memory of it all faded after Christmas, no other notes showed up.

May, 24th 1997
5:46 pm
Age: 23
I parked in front of my house, I now live by myself, same house just the parents are gone, a couple of renovations too.  I walk quickly up to the door, it was blazing out.  Touching the door handle I'm taken a-back by the temperature of it, it was freezing.  I rubbed my hand to warm it up, and unlocked the door, having to pull hard because the key got stuck in the lock.  I slipped of my shoes glancing around the house, it was unnaturally cold.  I must have left something on, I told myself ignoring the light frost on the flooring.  I ignore all of the cold and turn a few heaters on, and go to make dinner, then head off to bed thinking it must just be my mind thinking things up after a long day at work.  Inhaling my dinner I run a hot shower to get the chills out of my spine.  The water runs steadily, only suddenly changing in temperature once, to a freezing cold liquid that wasn't quite water, it quickly started to get harder, until it finally stopped, nothing came out of the shower head hanging above me.  I shook my head, choosing to bypass this, this was all too coincadental.  I phoned my boss saying I'd be sick from work the next day, something was messing with my head.
    I headed to bed early, around 9:45, craving the warmth of the comforters, I've officially figured out why they earned that name. I walked to my bedroom, the bed lay under a window a nightstand next to it, my closet and mirror only about four paces away.  I slid out of my clothes, the cold felt harsh against my bare skin, it made me cringe.  I quickly got changed and hurried over to my queen sized bed, luckily I had about seven blankets on the foot of the bed because I was just that cold.  I snuggled under the blankets, I would have fallen asleep instantly if it wasn't for the fact there was something hard... very hard and cold next to me.  I look up to see someone... something with their face to mine, nose touching freezing cold nose.
I let out a small gasp, my lungs wouldn't let me scream.  He put an ice cold finger to my lips and gently caressed my cheek bone with a boney frozen hand.  He worked his way, kissing from the top of my forehead down to my lips and pausing there before continuing to my collarbone before he slid to the side of my neck and breathed.  A cold horrifying breath, that smelled of death itself, yet at the same time had been so welcoming.  He opened his mouth, teeth touched my neck, and gently nipped, I start to cry, and then he bites.  I can feel him taking my blood, the sound of it glugging, bubbling out of my skin was repulsive.  My last thought was of him, simply one word ran through my head, vampire.

Police Report:
Evidence: Blood, lots of blood on sheets. only sheets. and frost all over the house.
C.O.D: Overdose of medication causing delusions and making subject commit suicide.
Extra: Note found on bed folded in victims hand. Reads:
Let me wish you great memories,
Sunsets and rises and starlit nights,
Scarlet cheeks and kiss bruised lips.
Let us hug,
Remember each other for who only we knew,
Scarlet cheeks and kiss bruised lips.
Let yourself wander,
Unity as one, uniqueness as another,
Scarlet cheeks and kiss bruised lips...

Well. It's pretty good. There's a few errors but nothing really too big... the first one would be the sentence "It made a sound when it opened." just because... that's way too vague. @.@

O.o Kind of odd that the vampire waited 10 years to kill her too.

I was kinda limited on time and amount of words xD Yup, that's somewhat the point, I actually like the large time gap, for odd reasons, so I just left it~ Plus, not a long time for a vampire

Aye but it's a long time to go without eating that's for true. I think it's kind of sad to see someone die so young though.

Doesn't mean he didn't eat anything else o:
I do too, but it was just mainly to show that you shouldn't take life for granted. xD Class thing, I was in a class where everyone was talking about pranks for halloween... They were dangerous. =/
