away. I sat there feeling sorry for myself and thinking about what had just happened. I decided to get in the shower again; it always made me feel better, like washing all the hurt away. The hot water made always made it easier to clear my head and think. I started to undress. I looked down at the mark on my thigh. I rubbed over it thinking all this mess over a tiny mark. Stupid vampire rules. I looked at it a little closer and realized I’ve seen it before. My mother had the same mark on her leg as well. Hers didn’t look as deep as mine and it was almost distorted like it had been burned. Then it hit me. I saw the man’s face, it was still a little unclear but I could see him. He was very handsome. Dark features, with dark hair and eyes. His eyes…he did this to me. I know it, I could feel it. The mark on my thigh started to burn. I realized I was rubbing it so hard, hoping it would just go away. All of a sudden I had a memory flash before my eyes. My mom looking at me smiling, Jake hugging me, even Karri hanging out with me in my bedroom. I remember Daymon but he didn’t go by that with my mom. He said his name was Hank. I remember the night he took me too. I was at the club with Jake and we got separated so I started to walk home and wait on Jake there. I remember some guys grabbing me and taking me to him…. he kidnapped me. He kept calling me mom’s name….. Cora. I have to go and find him. I was about to go tell Jake but I thought about what had happened with us. I can’t go to him until this is taken care of. I’m not going to be the damsel in distress no more! I looked at the door, can’t go out there. I decided to sneak out the window. Jake will hear me if I do though. I went to the dresser grabbed some clothes to put in my back pack and turned on the shower. It will be at least ten minutes before he knows I’m gone. I opened the window took one last look back at the room and jumped right out. I got as far away from the cottage as I could before I stopped. I knew I couldn’t stop to long. Jake was fast but the shower thing gave me a little bit of time. I headed back to the place Jake had found me in the woods. I started to talk out loud to the trees. “Come get me. I’m by myself. I want to see Daymon. Right NOW!!” A minute or two past. “I don’t have all day; they will start to look for me soon. IF you want to deal with Jake then be my guest and wait.” A foul fish and rotten garbage odor hit my nose, and a second later a man with blond hair and a long deep scar that looked like it didn’t heal right on his face came out of the trees. Then another that was short and stocky with darker hair that looked like it had not been brushed in weeks. Oh gross or his teeth! I don’t think either of them knew what a tooth brush was. “Are you going to fight us again?” The man with the blond hair and scar asked. “No, I just want to talk to Daymon.” I said with my head held high. “We need to blind fold you.” He was smiling the whole time as he talked to me with his black and rotten teeth showing, like he couldn’t wait to touch me. “Whatever just hurry up.” I didn’t want to look weak so I was trying to play it cool. He walked over to me, and tired to get a little rough with me. I guess trying to show me he was in charge but I knew he was just a pawn in this huge game. He pulled a red and black scarf out of his grimy pocket and put it around my eyes. Then he tied
