I don’t know what I was thinking. Why did I think it would be a good idea to bring my cat to school? At the time I was thinking “Little Sunny is so sweet and calm, if I sneak her into my school bag and bring her to the school play rehearsal, no one will even notice!” Well, it didn’t work out like that.

Layne woke up feeling very dizzy, she was now sitting on one of the school’s balconies, leaned up against the dark metal railing.

They all sit at the table together, and Layne’s parents talk to each other while Layne just listens and studies for any upcoming tests. When Layne is done eating, she packs up her school bag, say...

PROLOGUE: THE MAGIC RIVER

The story began with the Wishing Stream. A place normally avoided by those who fear the unknown, it was a magical river that flowed near the small town of Neigedale. The stream ran through the dark and dense woods right where the town came to an end. Unlike the surrounding shadowy woods, the land closest the stream had its own eerie mystical glow. The trees chose not to g...

One day after Layne accidentally attacks someone at school, she finds out that she is actually a vampire! Layne is told that she must leave home to atte...
