Each night I sit on this roof, each night I think the same thing. Jump But I never do,why? Because I can't, oh I can jump but it wouldn't hurt me. Why you wonder? Well up until a year ago I was human, A vibrant,loving wife and mother.I loved my daughter with every shred of my soul,she was my life,my world. I was also a loving wife,devoted to my husband until the day we died. Well they died,I am something else. My world was complete until that night last summer. We were on our way home from a Fourth of July party,we were laughing,having a good time.

My husband,Scott, had seemed pre-occupied all day. When I asked him what was wrong he would snap at me,which was so out of his character. I worried about him,but didn't show it because our daughter,Gracie was having the time of her life. She had just turned 5 years old and this was her late birthday party from her grandparents. We watched the fireworks and then put a sleepy girl into her seat and with a kiss and hug to my in-laws we drove off. I wished we would have taken them up on their offer to stay the night,oh how I wish so much we had.

It was a 2 hour drive back to our home in New Orleans,Scott kept glancing in the rearview mirrow the whole way. Finally I couldn't keep quiet any longer.

"Scott,what is wrong? All night you have been acting strange." I asked him softly youching his arm,causing him to quickly look down at it. His eyes met mine and I could almost swear he had tears in them. My heart began to pound in my chest.

" I...I made a huge mistake.I did something that I can't take back." He spoke softly,his voice trembling slightly as he glanced at me.

My heart hammered the first thng I thought was, he has cheated. But no something told me it was more serious than that. I wrapped my fingers around his wrist lightly.

" Scott,what is it? It can't be that bad." I asked him as I glanced quickly back over the seat to check on Gracie. The car lights barreling down on us caught my attention. "Scott!" I screamed as I braced myself for the impact,my hands gripping the seat.

Scott looked into the mirror then over at me,his eyes filled with apologies as the other car rammed us. My head jerked backwards, Gracie began to cry in the backseat. " What have you done!" I screamed at Scott as the car fishtailed then regained traction.

"I'm so sorry, I borrowed alot of money from some people,I couldn't pay it back." He said to me quickly as I saw the fear on his face. I heard Gracie crying in the back,the roar of fear floooded my ears. I couldn't speak at that moment just held on and prayed for help. We were on a dark,lonely road about 10 miles from home. Almost home,but we weren't going to make. We were going to die,something told me these people would not let any of us go.

My thoughts went to my daughter,my angel. So innocent. "God,please don't let anything happen to my baby. Please protect her,keep her safe." I silently prayed as the car fishtailed once more and I felt the wheels leave the road. My heart sank and I began to scream.

My screams echoed around us,my daughters screams filled my ears as the car began to roll over and over. I could feel the glass flying across my skin,I felt bones breaking from the force. I felt the car stop rolling,I was upside down. I tried to move,oh how I tried. I looked over at Scott he was awake but he was looking out of the ruined window. " No,no...Please not my family."He began crying to whomever he saw approaching. I looked over for Gracie,my heart sank. She was no longer in the bacseat,her booster seat was empty.

"NO...NOOO!" I began to scream,where was my baby. Where was my Gracie! I twisted ,trying to free myself from the seatbelt. My eyes froze,my heart stopped as I spied the tiny legs,the only things visible from a nearby bush. My screams grew louder,Scott began to cry harder as he realised his little girl was gone. He began to struggle as a hand reached in and cut him free from the belt.

My heart slowed,was thise someone to help? Oh god,let them help my baby. I thought to myself,then that hope came crashing down. The men who pulled my husband out had him standing next to the car,I couldn't hear much just a couple of names. Then I saw a flash of metal,the sound of cocking. The blast echoed in my ears as I watched as My husband slumped to the ground. His lifeless eyes staring at me, I began to scream louder as the men moved around to my side of the car. I was going to die. I didn't want to die at that moment.

After that everything went black until I woke up a week later in a strange house. I tried to recall everything after Scott died but it was all just a big blank. I try not to think of seeing my daughter lying in that ditch but of her smile at the party earlier that day. You see, I did die that night. Not in the way you would think. I died from internal injuries,not from a bullet. I should have but for some reason,he chose to save me.

No it wasnt a miracle. It is more of a curse. I was saved by a vampire. Yeah a creature of the night. He had chosen me because he had been following us since my husband had made a bad money deal. Scott had made a bargain with a coven. A bargain he knew he couldn't pay back,so he thought he could outrun them. Yeah right. Ian had taken me back to his home,treated me..tried to save me. But in the end..well he had to do something. So now here I am..undead and wishing I was dead. But I do have a purpose for now.

I will find my families killer's,I will kill them. Then and only then will I walk into the sunlight. I will not rest until that day comes. Then I will sit on this roof for the last time and welcome the burn of the sun's rays but for now..wll for now it is what it is. I feel the heat growing on my skin as the sun rises,another night is ending but there will be another in a few hours and my hunt will begin once more.
