I live in a crime ridden city, ST Louis, America; Baden

It all started when I was five,
I met a girl called Ally fallo
She had jet black hair and strange pale grey eyes and the faintest skin ever, a light white but even though she looked creepy and sinister, she was kind and forgiving but all ways understanding. She would never judge anyone but her parents were the opposite.
They were a strange pair her mother had bright flaming orange hair but the same pale skin and also the same pale eyes, her father was the same but he had jet black hair and his eyes were darker.
At school they would stand in the car parking lot and stare at everyone and they would give sharp gestures if anyone would start talking about them, anyone would know what type of car they drove, it was a Mercedes Benz S600 Guard car, they weren’t even legally sold in America! The Mercedes could have a tank rolled over it and there wouldn’t be a scratch! It was war proof. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THEY HAD THAT CAR BUT I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FIND OUT…


For some reason we became good friends even though are parent really didn’t like each other she would NEVER let me go to her house but wasn’t for the reason that her parents didn’t like my parents . Ally would always be disappointed but she always stayed at my house and when her parents picked her up they would step out the car in an orderly manner but would never come inside our house.

As the years went by thing changed she stayed less at my house because that was what her parents said, but for a strange reason our friendship became stronger …

At the age of eleven her parents never picked her up and it was like they were trying to avoid me and my parents so they had an Idea they thought it would be nice to drop ally off, since it was chucking it down , ally didn’t even seem to mind ! She was wearing shorts and a t-shirt
But when my parents stopped her and asked ally, she started arguing and pleading for us to not drop her off but my parents ignored her even when I started to yell they only said be quiet. My parents walked into the after school club really proud and bold and asked for where Ally lived but that was a BAD mistake …. A very bad mistake
I always knew something was wrong with her parents but I never suspected they were…

They lived in a slightly big house it was like a mansion and their wasn’t any houses near by it was place away from civilisation it was surrounded by a thick forest it was surrounded by lake morthor so we had to borrow a rowing boat just to get to the house, she lived in the peaceful part of st Louis, well that’s what it’s called but lots of gangs hide around there in the caves of blackthorn wood, my parents heaved and puffed. They were exhausted; you could tell by the way the looked.

My parents walked to the glazed door and knocked three times, knock, knock, KNOCK
We heard a muffled slam, they had just come home.
Then we saw the door open and there stood her parents shocked and horrified, they were just the same as I remembered them but her mother was wearing lipstick I think.
I guessed they had been caught out. They looked remarkable the same from when I was five not a single crease or wrinkle was in their face.
They hadn’t AGED! Was that just me or didn’t my parents realise that, my parents just stood there gasping, the silence ended by my mum blurting out “you will have to tell me what anti age cream you use,”
The shock had ended by my mum
Once again.
Alice’s parents replied “we will reassure and tell you what cream we use, would you like to join us for dinner? “ I saw a glimpse of a provocative smile

Luckily my parents answered “no thank you, maybe next time,”
I really hoped we would never stay for diner but maybe that was me an imaginative child.


But the worse had to come; it started at secondary school …


It was my first day, me and Ally didn’t stayed close even though we had never been to gloomsby school It was so large and gloomy maybe that’s why its called gloomsby school .I stood out side the school looking at it, it was huge It reminded me of the school in Matilda but there were lots of older kids in gangs dancing and singing to songs.
I wandered the corridor and saw graffiti all over the walls and I knew it she was so early for lesson unlike me but when I came into room six. She hadn’t saved me a place and she was sitting with another group of 10, luckily a small group of girls invited me to their table.

So on my first day I made four new friends called Charlotte, Cleo, Rikki and Emma,
They were all nice.

Ally didn’t stay with me at lunch but I was surprised she had never
Deserted me
I saw her, she was SITTING! Next to the mysterious gang of the school well that was what they were called, they never let anyone join their group so why did they let ALLY join, which was my question. I felt betrayed, she said FRIENDS FOREVER NO MATTER WHAT ….

Days passed by I got more suspicious but my new friends told me to leave her but I couldn’t.

Days passed and all what the same she had fallen to the commandment of
Morgread the gangs leader and during time she drifted further
She never phoned me
She never talked to me
Or looked at me
It was getting worse

I felt so alone

It was my sweet sixteenth birthday ,time had flied by it had been four years since I had joined this school , I don’t even keep in touch with ally anymore even though she still goes to this school but I have lots of friends and were all really close …
Ally had missed my twelfth birthday, my thirteenth birthday, my fourteenth birthday and my fifteenth birthday. It was like we were enemies she was forbidden to go to my other birthdays and see me but I hope she goes to this birthday because it’s really special it’s my sweet sixteenth. But she properly won’t though.

Great I have to go to school on my birthday but at least its Friday,
It brings lots of memories to me every birthday but in all of them ally isn’t there.
It is like I am a ghost to her; she doesn’t even know me anymore.

Ally is really different from when she started school, she still keeps to herself and her slightly larger gang and when she started she was as loud as can be that’s why we had lots of friends she always loved being tanned but now she is as pale as can be, she has strange grey eyes not like mine a bit but paler.
But all her gang look the SAME they all seem mysterious and forbidding it’s like their fire you get to close you get hurt like on my twelve birthday
I only bumped into Hale and he snarled at me but it was an animal snarl and as soon as he snarled, whiley walked straight to him and dragged him away like a vicious dog I SWEAR he was going to bite me that look in his eyes seemed he wanted to KILL me. Later that evening he walked near me and then said “your time will be up soon, hahahaha,” he stared at my lips and leaned closer, I ran away and he tried to catch me but I was almost home.

The things that confuses me, is why did she leave me, why did she join THAT stupid gang, and why does she act like a new person …

I have to find some way to find it ALL out I’ll have to do some thing …

“Ooh is that ally,”

“Lilith forget it, she won’t come she never does, why won’t you accept that!”


“But charlotte, she will come I’m sure.”

“Lili…”

“Emma but out of this!”
“All of you, she will come I’m sure.”

“Oh, Lilith did I just hear a door bell ring.” mouthed Rikki


“That her out of the way for now.” sniggered Cleo


I guess they were right she wasn’t going to come and I bet they put that present there
Is there any point to life? I heard them; they don’t like me at all or was that true did she really visit even though she is not allowed? did she put the present there I cant wait any longer I have to find out my questions It is like have a pin poking me all the time , not being able to know everything is really painful
All I need is the truth, even if it hurts ….


School today hooray, it doesn’t seem like the ordinary thing I say but I am only happy because I might find out what is going on;]

What shall I say to her, shall I say why have you have been ignoring me, no too soppy or shall I just spy on her, no.
I walked amongst Emma because she is my only friend who walks and I know one thing about Ally, she Always walks everywhere her parents never drop her off.
The walk to school was really slow Emma kept talking and babbling on but then I saw her was my chance …

“Hey Ally, where have you been all my life!”

“I don’t like you so go away!”

“I’m NOT GOING AWAY UNTIL YOU TELL ME WHAT’S GOING ON!”

“OK then I met someone who was better than you,”

“Cut out the lies and tell me the truth ally, why are you doing this to me,”

“Because I have to Lilith, go away unless you want to get hurt.”

“I’d rather get hurt and know all the truth about our OLD friendship,”

“I have to go now Lilith,”

Why doesn’t anything go right for me, great the bell has gone once again I’m late.
I sat in next ally everyone stared at me but I just said “Ally invited me on this table,”
Then I smiled, they all glared at Ally alarmed and angry.
I was suddenly afraid but I stayed close at break, hidden, I heard them quietly shouting at Ally and questioning her all I heard was …

“Ally is she one of us, a vampire?” queried Morgread
“Morgread, I don’t know she just sat there,”

“Tell me all of it, Ally,”

“Well she was shouting at me and saying she would find out the truth about me,”
