Sorry and yes I know this entry is a bit short. My brother is wanting to get on so again. I will post another chapter as soon as I get the time. Thanks for all the past critiques and hopefully all the future ones.

The alley was next to Courtney’s house and an apartment complex. It passed it every day going to school. For the next few days I took the longer route instead of going by that alley. I avoided it like the plague. I made excuses to Courtney for not being able to come over and help her study. She ended up coming to my house instead.
Finally though my curiosity won out over my fear, I decided to visit the alley. I drove slowly by. There was a stranger leaning against the walls. I got out of my car, despite all the warnings Aralee had given to me in the past about strangers. Slowly I walked over to the stranger, he seemed to glow a soft white.
He spoke “I've been expecting you.”
I knew that voice it sounded oddly familiar. It hit me, I knew the voice, it belonged to the stranger that had talked to Aralee ten years ago. That would mean...if my guess had been right...
“Who, who are you…” I stuttered.
Could this truly be who I thought he was? I started to hyperventilate.
From behind his back he pulled out a burlap sack. I panicked and began to back away. He lashed out and brought the bag over my head. Inside of it, I groped for air, as it was constricting around my throat. I should have listened to Aralee, I thought as I passed out.
When I came to in a dark room, I tried to move and with success, my capture had not bound me but I couldn't see. Sitting up I thought this has to be another one of my nightmares. Then I heard the voice. His voice.
“I apologize that I had to use harsh methods to get you here but it was the only way I could talk to you. Your mother would not let me talk to you, so…”
“Who... who are you...? How do you know my mother? What do you want to talk to me for?”
“So many questions, but I will answer them all. First off, my name is Alessandro. Aralee should have told you, but it looks like I am going to have to tell you everything. I am your father. I am sorry this is a bit too much information right now isn’t it?
I had been kidnapped by a nut case I thought. I have only heard about this in the news and in books. This could only happen to me. I looked around me, my eyes had adjusted to the little light I had. A light flicked on. I could see him, he loomed over me and he had to be at least six feet. He had dark black hair and golden eyes, but… I looked so much like him I couldn’t ignore it. We both had the same face and build. I couldn’t believe I was meeting my father for the first time in my memory and it was a bit too much. I had wanted to know for a decade who he was and finding out like this...I faded into unconsciousness.
When I woke up the room was a little lighter as if a light had been turned on. Alessandro was standing against the back wall, looking very tense. I could see more this time when I sat up. I was in a big room that contained the twin size bed I sat on and a small desk sat across from me.
"I'm going to ask that you don't interrupt me, it will be difficult enough to explain this to you without you interrupting. Or I could just show you."
Alessandro then grinned at me showing a line of pointed teeth, when he stepped out of the dark I could see specks of red in those golden eyes. I gasped, I had read enough books to figure out what he was.
"You're...you're a vampire." I stuttered
"Yes, yes, now that we have that fact out of the way..."he started impatiently
"You kidnap me, tell me your my father, and then tell me you are a freaking vampire, and you want me to accept that! You know what I think? I think you are a complete head case..."
"Didn't I tell you not to interrupt me?" he growled.
"Where was I?" he asked himself "Oh yes, I was about to say I am the Prince of Darkness, and it seems that you are my only heir."
I could not contain myself. "So you are telling me that I am your only heir? You have had thousands of years to produce one and I am the only one?
"A vampire can produce only one child, so yes you are my only heir."
I thought about it. What did this mean for me? I was a hybrid, half-human, half-vampire.
"How does this work?" I ask Alessandro. "I look like a human, and most importantly I eat like a human, where's the vampire part kick in?"
"I was wondering when you would ask that question. The night you turn eighteen, your whole body will change. It would be best if you were here with me because new vampires are more likely to go wild for blood, they over indulge because there is nothing sweeter than fresh human blood."
I was scared, apparently I had no choice, this is why I was having those dreams. After the change well, I didn't know what to expect. I wished the nightmare had stayed a nightmare because it appeared that soon I was about to be living it...
