Prolouge
It's me. Reagon Farris. Last year my village was vandalized by blood-suckers and my best friend was killed. Or was she? Weird things have been happening and I think it has to do with Jessie's death.

Chapter 1

After Jessie's death, I have been experiencing strange visions and paranormal things. Tyler says I'm just missing her and the visions are make-believe.
I can sense she's near though. The scent of her fur still lingers through my nostrils. I tell Tyler she's really hear but he just shakes his head.
I trudged through the forest, not looking ahead of me. I stared down at my toes as a soft breeze chilled me. I heard a faint voice coming from the trees.
"Reagon..." the voice called to me, I had to strain my ears to really hear it clearly. "Who's there?" No answer came from the trees.
"Reagon..." I heard the voice again and called to it once more. Nothing, again. The wind started to kick in and I was freezing to death. My bare feet felt numb and so did my fingers.
The trees had no sign of color on them and the branches swayed back and forth in the gust of wind.
I ran back home to find Scar sitting there on the kitchen floor. "Scar, what are you doing?" She seemed to be crying! I bent down by her little body and stroked her brown hair gently.
"Tell me what happened," she lifted her head just a little and I saw that her eyes were puffy and red from crying. Her lips twitched nervously and her hands trembled.
"T-t-tyle-e-rrr...H-h-h-e wa-s-s t-t-taken-n-n...Aw-w-way-y-y," my lips started to tremble like hers. I couldn't pressure her so I asked simple questions, "Who took him?"
"V-v-v-amp-p-pire-s-s-s"
"Why?"
"I d-d-on-n-nt kn-kn-know."
Vampires were trying to threaten me again so they could take over my land and claim it as their own. I had to save Tyler. He was my only chance in deafeting the vampires.

Chapter 2

I put Eliza in her bed and told her everything was going to be fine, even though I wasn't sure. All I knew was that I needed help and I needed it now.
I told the werewolves to head out and find Tyler so that he could help defeat the vampires. We all needed Tyler, he was the oldest kid out of the clan.
Xavier and some went west, Sarri and others went east, Hawk took half north, and a little and I went south.
I followed any scent's I could recognize and found Tyler's. He and the vampires were headed south and I had to reach them.
I heard the familiar voice again, "Reagon," it spoke so quietly, why couldn't it speak louder. "Where are you!" I screamed, Wiley trotted over to me and asked me, "What are you howling about?" I didn't have time for Wiley so I trudged off into the woods, farther and farther.
"Hey, where you goin'!" Wiley called to me, "Not now Wiley." I tried to sound polite but the anger quivered inside me.
Wiley seemed disgusted, he snorted and turned around, giving up. What a wimp. I shook it off and followed the voice.
"Reagon," it was a little louder now and I was excitied, more than anything, I was cold. My fur was thick but you know, wolves get cold too. The snow was thick under my paws and my tongue tasted the sweet fresh air.
"Reagon," Where was that voice coming from? I still followed and tried to keep up.
I saw a ghostly like figuire beside me. It was a girl, brown long hair in a braid and warm blue eyes clouded now. It was Jessie. She looked up at me and merely smiled, showing her frosted lips.
I couldn't beleive my eyes, was it really Jessie? She couldn't come back from the dead!
She held a frosted blue rose in her hand and reached out to me, I stuttered and almost fell on my face.
Jessie was so light and the only thing that was different about her was her transparent looks. She had the same clothing on, same hair, same face, same eyes. "Come on, don't be afraid, Reagon," she laughed and covered her mouth.
I ambled towards her warily, hoping this wasn't some type of trick. Her sweet eyes sparkled and her hand came out to pet me. I let her. "You haven't changed at all have you, Reagon?" she asked, "Well, I haven't changed much either from last year. How are the others? Do they miss me?"
I almost choked on my words, but I hesitated. I changed to human form and sat on the bench, right next to her.
"Everybody misses you Jessie, we all can't beleive your dead. Sorry. Everybody manages though and were all doing quite fine," she seemed amazed and chuckled. I hadn't heard her laugh in so long.
"That's nice to know! How's my mom and dad. Are they okay?"
"Yes."
"What about my brother, Andrew?"
"Fine."
"I miss them very much and can't wait till I show them I'm sort of living."
Jessie stood up and started dancing, the way she used you. Her bare feet were glowing blue as they swirled around. Her long hair was spinning as she turned.
Jessie was so beautiful dancing like a ballerina, how she moved fascinated me. I couldn't wait to tell Tyler. Oh my goodness, Tyler! I forgot about him being trapped! "Jessie, I have to go now!" She looked at me heart-broken, tears almost filled her pale eyes, "Why leave so early?" "It's Tyler. He's trapped,"
"Don't worry Reagon, I'm coming too."

Chapter 3

I ran as fast as I could with Jessie trailing behind me. Thorns cut my face as branches swirled. The wind made my hair swing in front of my face and into my mouth.
I found a small hole in the middle of the ground and knew somehow that they hid Tyler in there. I flared my nostrils and inhaled. The scent was surely Tyler and vampires. I crawled in and tried not to make a sound. Jessie tiptoed inside and was breathing harshly. "Shh." I whispered behind me, she giggled and covered her mouth. I rolled my eyes and kept walking. The air was terrible, it smelled of rotten cheese and dumpsters.
The air was also very humid, I almost couldn't breathe. The hole seemed to last forever and I was getting restless. My paws ached and my stomach was growling loudly. I finally found an end and looked down through the hole. Underground, they made a house. The floor was dazzling and the paintings were all made of vampires.
In a metal chair, sat a scared Tyler. His face was bloody and his back looked as if it had been whipped several times. His forehead was dripping with sweat and tears rolled down his precious green eyes.
His face was burn't red and a vampire suddenly zoomed by him. He held a long whip in his hand and smiled greatly, his sparkling white teeth showing.
"Where's the girl?" The vampire asked, Tyler sat there like an idiot and cried harder. "Where is the girl!?" "ANSWER ME, BOY!" Tyler sat there still. The vampire took the whip and slapped it on Tyler's back. The sound made me want to hurl and the blood drizzled down. Tyler screamed and tears dripped down from my eyes. "TELL ME! WHERE IS SHE!!!" The whip landed on his back again. "I will never tell you," Tyler whispered so quietly I could barely hear.
"Ah, yes you will. You will die if you don't answer and I think losing one girl was bad enough, I don't think you want your sister to suffer." Tyler panted and licked his lips, he sobbed and tried to breathe but the air choked him.
"You will never take my life." Tyler pulled hard on the chains and struggled harder. The pain worsened and a sick feeling flooded the pit of my stomach. "Stop trying to break away because deep down you know that these chains will weigh you down." The vampire grasped the sides of Tyler's head and pushed. Tyler screamed and the vampire chuckled softly.
"STOP!!!" Tyler screamed, he tried to thrash his head away but the vampire was stronger. "Jessie, what do I do?" I whispered. Her face was whiter than her ghastly figure as she spoke, "Go." I obeyed and finally broke the bars hovering over the room. The vampire looked up and showed his sharp fangs. Tyler took one look at me and then pleaded me with his soft misty eyes.
I tore the chains and tried to pry Tyler out of the chair. He fell to the ground and cried more, hoping the pain would go away. I turned and faced the fangs about to tear into my fur, I lunged at him and pinned him down. I tore the flesh out of his neck and watched his eyes turn to colorless cloudy eyes.
Tyler was shaking uncontrollably on the ground, goosebumps trailing down his arms. Jessie was kneeled down beside Tyler and tried to talk to him. "Tyler, it's over. I killed him, you don't have to worry." I rubbed his arms and saw the scars and dried blood on his back. "Tyler...Are you O.K.?" He stared up into my eyes and shook his head.
"Jessie, help me." I pleaded softly, her face was full of tears and her icy
