Different

Prologue
Oh. My. God! He…he's here…hands…his hands…around my neck…choking me…I scream silently…
I wake up, screaming. What the hell just happened?! I look at the clock…I sigh…must have fallen asleep downstairs again, with the T.V still on. I sit up, slowly, grab the remote, that's fallen on the floor and press OK. The time is 11:52pm. I yawn and stretch my arms.
Damnit! I'm late. I quickly get up and look at myself in the mirror. I straighten my hair and clothes with my hands. Thank God my clothes are okay. I'm wearing a short-ish black dress, 3 quarter length sleeves-laced. My favourite shoes, of course, black with wedged heals.
I walk quietly out of the house, making sure I don't wake my brothers, Avan and Demitri.

Chapter One
I walk down a road, a road I have never seen before. For some strange reason it's colder. I don't mean because it's dark outside, I mean the temperature is 20°c but on this street it feels like -2°c. I'm not grounded. Yet. My brothers can be easily persuaded. My parents died the day after my birth. People say they died in a car accident but they didn't. My parents were Vampire Hunters. I can remember anything and everything but what I don't remember is this street. All of a sudden some people come out of nowhere and scare the crap out of me. To be honest I'm a nobody at high school, then I'm invited to a 'populars' party…suspicious? Yes, yes I am.
I scream and the people laugh. They, of course, are the popular kids.
"Wha the hell? Have ya bumped your 'ed or som'thin' Why did ya do tha?" I demand.
A guy (Most popular) named Roman Harris says: "We thought it would be funny and, of course, I'm right."
I shake my head. Not impressed. "Why did ya invite me? Am a nobody. Bet ya don't even know my name!" The invite in my locker today said: 'Come tonight. 250 Chester Lane. Or else.'
"Well, Ava-Li-"
I gasp. They know my name.
"-we want to get to know you. I like you. You're…different." Roman answers.
I roll me eyes. Like I'm different? No. Way.
"Come on, it's freezing out here. Let's go."
I nod and follow.
There are 3 guy: Roman Harris, Ethan Tyler and Aarron Jones and (including me) 3 girls: Amelia Johnson, Olivia Taylor and me: Ava-Lili Darkora.
While we're walking to Roman's house, I ask: "How come I ain't never heard of this street?"
Roman answers: "Because nobody can find it, unless we give permission."
Okay…weird magic is at work here…
"Okay. So if I wanna find this street 'gain, can I?"
"Maybe. Depends how tonight goes." Roman and his friends have this weird look on their faces, but it disappears…
We get to Roman's house and before we even get to the door, it creaks open and 2 people come out, 1 of them is average height, definitely Roman's father. Both with darker hair than the night sky and eyes the colour of the sea. The mother with blonde hair, lighter than the sun and eyes the colour of jades. I look at her and she reminds me of…well me…My blonde hair cascades down in soft curls down my back and my eyes like jades shine brighter than usual…
I look at Roman, then his parents, then to his friends and they all look...well thin…too thin.
"Hi, Roman." His mother says, running up to hug him.
"Hi, Mary." He answers.
Roman's father looks at me. "Who are you?" Before I can answer Roman jumps in saying: "She's Ava-Lili. The girl I told you about."
Roman's father nods. "Yes, I remember now." Wait. Roman talked about me. Weird.
"Wha on God's earth is goin' on 'ere?"
"Nothing. We're going to go to my room, okay, Justin?" Roman says
Justin nods. We leave them and head inside and upstairs to his room. As I look round everything is old and amazing.
"Wow." Is all i say.
When we're in Roman's room he shuts the door but also locks it…
"What. The. Hell. Is. Going. On." I say slowly
"Let's play 'Truth or dare' and I'll explain, okay?"
I sigh. "Fine."
We sit in a circle and Roman looks at me. "Do you know why you're here, Ava?"
I shake my head but then I stop. I hear them talking but their mouths aren't moving. Weirdness meter is on 8…
"OMG. Nope. You're not 'ere. I…No…My parents will kill me…" I sit back from them. "You're….you're…"
"Say it. Please."
"Vampires. Happy. Am goin' home. Damn! Damned door." I look to find a window and I see 1. I stand and walk towards it. I step on the windowsill and let myself fall…. and I don't.
"What the hell! Ava! Get down! NOW!?" Roman grabs hold of my waist and pulls me down.
"Let me die in peace, jeez. I promised that if I saw a vamp, I'll kill 'em."
"Calm down. We will not hurt you, I promise you that. Okay? You won't die…."
