Chapter One

    Emily walked along the beach, her toes sunk
into the sand as the water washed against her feet. It was
peaceful, and she found herself strolling along the shore without
purpose or worry.
    Seagulls gawked, as they flew high above the
ocean; and the bright sun sparkled in Emily’s eyes, as she watched
them from a distance.
    Dolphins danced in the ocean while monkeys
played in the trees. Amazing, she thought, witnessing the beauty of
countless creatures living in harmony. Wherever she was, life was
good.
    Was she in heaven? How did she get here?
These questions should have been important to Emily, but they
couldn’t have been further from her mind.
    “Come to me,” a voice whispered in the
breeze.
    Emily spun around, seeking the voice that had
spoken to her. Her eyes frantically searched around, hoping to find
anyone nearby.
    “Come to me,” the voice repeated. “Come to
me…my child.”
    “Mother?” asked Emily, yelling out to the
unknown. “Is that you?”
    The only response Emily got was the
lighthearted laughter of several gibbons playing in the trees.
Emily had not seen her mother in many years, and searched the area,
looking for her.
    Emily sprinted down the wet sand, hoping to
see her mother standing on the beach. Finding nothing, she dropped
to her knees, trying to remember just what had happened to her.
    “You will find no answers on the ground,”
said her mother.
    Emily picked herself up off the sand, and
spun around to see her mother.
    “I—I can’t believe it,” said Emily, staring
back at the woman who had given her life. “How is this
possible?”
    Her mother, Amanda, hadn’t aged more than a
day since Emily last saw her. It was as if she had been frozen in a
moment in time.
    “Mother, you’re…beautiful,” said Emily, at a
loss for words. “I’ve missed you so much.”
    “I know, my child,” replied Amanda, embracing
Emily with open arms. “But I’ve never left your side.”
    “What do you mean?” Emily asked. “I don’t
understand.”
    “You’re not meant to,” answered Amanda,
stroking her daughter’s hair. “Not yet.”
    Emily pulled herself back and with a worried
look in her eyes, she asked, “Why am I here? Where is father?”
    “You are here because you are meant to be,”
Amanda said. “And where we are, is a world apart from the place you
were born.”
    “You’re not making any sense,” said Emily,
grabbing hold of her mother’s shoulders, giving her a shake.
“You’re speaking in riddles.”
    “I wish it were that simple, my child,” said
Amanda, looking her daughter deep in the eyes. “We only have a few
short moments together, and I have an important message for
you.”
    “What do you mean?” Emily questioned. “What
happens in a few short moments—?”
    “Please, just listen!” interrupted Amanda,
turning sternly at her daughter. “I know your powers have finally
awoken; you wouldn’t be here now unless they had. I also know that
you have been introduced to vampires; that some have come to hurt
you, and some have come to save you.”
    Slowly, Emily began to remember the events
that had led her to this meeting. She remembered the terrifying
ghouls, and their vicious master; her friends, who would give their
lives to save her, and finally the vampire, Alexander, who had
nearly lost his own life.
    “You cannot trust them!” Amanda shouted.
“Vampires only know death and decay. They are parasites to your
world, and seek to destroy what they cannot control. I will not let
them hurt you…like they did to me.”
    “The vampires killed you?” asked Emily,
beginning to tear up. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t know—.”
    Her mother, knowing she had little time left,
continued, “The vampires
