The temperature in the air changed drastically and we could all feel it. The moon above us hung full in the sky which had us anxious. We knew what that would mean. The Lycans would be out, hunting and strong. Some would be scared on a night like tonight. I, however, was excited. This is what I did. I was a Death Dealer. I was a Vampire.
I jumped from one roof to the next, casting out my senses as I ran. I could smell them and they were close. I could hear the swish of the wind as my dear friend Selene ran over rooftops near by. I glanced over at her while running and saw the leather moving as she ran. I smirked and continued on. With the help of my old friend, I gained courage to continue on. I took one last leap and landed flat on my feet in the middle of an alleyway. I could hear the heavy panting and stamping of feet as the Lycan got closer. I pulled the bow off my shoulder and stretched it back with an arrow attatched to it, ready to strike my opponent as it came. I held my breath and watched as it rounded the corner. I waited until the right moment and let go of the arrow I held onto.
It went spinning towards the frightful Lycan and stuck in its arm. The silver in it took action immediately and he the floor. It didn't take him long before he was on his feet and running towards me...
Gun fire sounded behind me and the Lycan was down again. I was frozen to the spot, another arrow already in place, waiting to see if it were about to spring again. After a few long moments, I heard the large, rapidly pounding heart seased and let out the breath I'd been holding in. I turned around to see Selene standing behind me, a serious look on her face....I could tell why...there were more near.

I ran through the city, feeling the wind through my fur. It was a perfect night, my favorite temperature to be out. I liked it when it wasn't that cold, but not too hot either. Well, I only liked it when I was in my lycan form; the funny thing is, the fur helps keep me warm, and when I'm human, I bundle up as if the temperature had dropped really low and I was going to freeze to death. Lucian always poked fun at that. Of course, everyone made fun of me for who I was--a female lycan. I was the only one, since all you had to do was bite someone and you had another lycan. Females aren't needed the way they are for humans.
That's how I was turned, though. Someone bit me one night while I was out on my own, and he left me in the forest, thinking me dead. I wasn't. I came back, and Lucian found me, a timid lycan huddled beneath a tree. He took me back to where he lived, and was shocked to find me transform into a girl, not a man. The others were, too, and I remember a lot of yelling, and some fighting, going on to see who got to "claim" me. Lucian's protected me all these years, though, and I love him. My sisterr always told me I shouldn't love so easily; I wonder what she would think, her sister a lycan and in love with a man I know my sister would never to for.
Just as I was about to enter an alley way, shots rang out. I stopped dead, my heart pounding. Nothing scared me, I was immortal and beautiful--all I had to do was snap my fingers and the world would bow to me. At least my world would. I seem to have some power over the men, but I know that is only because they want to sleep with me. The only thing that did scare me was guns. The vampires were out, I knew that in an instant, and they brought the bullets they've made from pure silver, I knew that without having to ask anyone. They never went anywhere without them now; it's the quickest way to kill one of us.
I looked around, making sure Lucian was safe, and Collin. Collin was the only other one I could trust, but lately he hasn't been around much. Today was the first day I had seen him in a very long time. I found Lucian, but there was no sign of Collin. I prayed he hadn't been the one shot. My first instinct was to run, my second to change into human form and wait for someone to find me; I could pretend the lycans were attacking me. I knew that would never work, so I stayed my ground, preparing for the vampires to find the rest of us.

Selene stood very still beside me and stared down the dark alley way. I knew what she was doing. She was listening. It was too dark for most humans to see down these alley ways so I was pleased to know we wouldn't have to worry about them...I was thirsty and I knew they would be too. There were plenty of young Lycans out tonight on the full moon. Ojiea, and african vampire and death dealer, landed on the balls of his feet just beside us and look at us questioningly. I nodded and we all started running down the alley, looking for our prey. I heard the pads of their feet nearby and knew they must have been just around the corner. But it wasn't just four feet. I counted 16...four Lycans were getting closer and we were running straight for them. Had my heart not stopped beating so long ago, it would have been pounding hard against my chest. I skidded to a stop at the entrance of another alley and waited for my prey to come to me while my partners continued forward. It was bold but it was my best chance to get a good hit with my full silver arrow. I saw it then. It came pealing into a wall as it turned onto the alley I was currently standing in. It seemed to pick up its speed as it saw me standing there. I held my stance and pulled back my bow, waiting. It ran close, so much closer than the first but I wanted a good shot. Some would tell me I'm being too risky and I shouldn't chance something like this. But I was so sure of these arrows made completely out of silver that I didn't care. Just as I was about to release, something in it's eye pulled at my heart and I merely jumped out of the way, landing on top of a brick wall. I stared down at it as it skidded to a stop. A gasp escaped my lips then and I began running away from something I've never feared. But for once in my life, I didn't want to kill it...not when those eyes looked exactly like those of my sister's.... *flashback* I was running through the forest, scared for my life. My sister and I had just been out to the river to get some water when we heard the most horrifying howl and growl. We both started running immediatly but were quickly seperated. I knew I should go back for her but I had to keep running. I was too scared to try and find her and save my life when for all I knew, she was already home before me. I heard a scream and stopped short. I started to double back when I heard that growl again, closer to me. I took off for the house and got there just as another scream hit the sky.
I was in tears by the time I got in the door and told my father about what happened. He was readying a shotgun and waking up my brother when I ran out of the house before them to try and find her. I ran through the woods, listening hard for more screams. I heard nothing. Tears streamed nonstop down my face but I didn't quit searching. I saw something white huddled beneath a tree and ran straight for it.
There lie my sister, beaten and bloodied by those monsterous Lycans. My knees buckled next to her and I sat and cried for a while. Out of no where, I heard that bloodcurdling howl again and decided to run back to the house and tell my father exactly where I found her. I got there safetly but my heart was broken. We walked slowly back to where I remembered her dead body lying but she wasn't there. We searched the whole night for my poor sister but we never found her. I searched those woods for days and days but I never came across her dead or alive....my poor sister Amber disappeared into the night........

Lucian looked over to me, giving me a look that told me not to hold back, that tonight I would need to kill as many vampires as I could. Easier said than done, I thought, but ran ahead of him. I wanted to go first, just in case something was waiting for the right moment to attack, that way if they shot, I would be hit and Lucian would be safe. Sometimes I wondered if I did too much for him, but I loved him, and that was my justification for it.
Just as I peeled around a corner I saw a vampire waiting for me. I knew this was my chance to show Lucian and the others that I was more than a pretty face, that I could kill on my own, and I didn't need their help.
The vampire didn't attack right away, and I wondered why. Usually they shot at you the moment they saw you, not thinking twice and not moving until they were certain you were dead. This one, a woman I noticed as I got closer to her, kept her finger on the bowstring, not letting the arrow go. Just as I was about to lunge at her, she jumped on top of a wall. I skidded to a stop and turned around, staring up at her. She looked so familiar, like I knew her. It only took a few seconds for me to realize who it was, and by that moment, she had began to run away. It was my sister Kameryn!
I began to chase her, hoping I could catch up to her and transform back into the form she knew me in, and talk to her. I had so many questions--when was this done to her? Who did it and why? What happened to the family that I was forbidden to see as soon as Lucian took me in? But most of all I wanted to hug her, to hold my sister close to me and cry, letting out every emotion I had towards her. I didn't know if I'd even be able to talk, I just wanted to see her.
