Chapter one
Midnight and all was quiet, go figure the one night I decided to volunter for my partner Jax and nothing of importance was going on. I sighed and looked up at the gloomy sky that was threathing rain, if something was going happen tonight I wished it would happen now. As if someone had heard my silent plea, a loud scream rent the air; jumping from the forty foot ledge I had been perched upon I hit the ground and continued to run. The scream sounded like it had come from the north and it sounded like one of absoulte horror. Before I go on perhaps I should give you an outlook of what and who Iam. Over four hundred year's I had been the wife of a poorly farmer, yet what he lacked in money he made up for in the love he gave to me. We had a baby girl named Madison and looked as if our lives were finally about to change, we just didnt know it would be an ancient race of vampire's to change it. I had been spared simply for the reason of being chosen as favorite, I however watched as they ripped my little girl to shred's, devouring what was left of her. As for my husband who had tried to fight for the life of my daughter and myself, I watched as they bit into his neck and drained the life force of him and took my reason for living with them. Since that day I Katrina Deeze vowed I would hunt down the murders of my faimly.
I could tell I was nearing the scene when fresh blood eluded my senses, maybe I would get to see some action after all tonight. I rounded the corner of the ally I had been running down to see a tall dark figure holding a petite blond who had stopped her fight for survial.
"Hey asshole, why dont you pick on someone your own size for a change." The vampire jerked his head around at the sound of my voice, blood coverd he smiled and dropped the now dead women as if she were a ragdoll.
"Katrina, I have a great deal about you. I must say I'am dissapointed however." Unfazed by his remark I smiled and pushed my jacket aside to give him a view of the gun's at my hip, both which were filled with a holy water element.
"As much as I would to stay here and chat, your liveing borrowed time."

Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
There's a lot of shaky stuff with commas and wording. This is really hard to understand - try reading out loud the next time you write something and comparing it to how you would talk, and then getting another person to proofread.
It's also very overdone, which is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as the story doesn't pretend it's original.
In its current state, this piece isn't all that good, but it is definitely salvageable. Keep working at it and it will get better. ^_^
Okay, this is a little too short for me to really post a long review.
You left the reader wanting more, which is a plus!
Above me ^^^, the others seem to have touched on everything that you need to fix.
I will add, however, that you need to space this out more. Also, you are missing a lot of commas.
One thing too, is that you rush too much. Slow it down, legthen it out, and save her life story for another chapter. I don't want to know all about her life in the first chapter. Then, almost immediately, the story looses interest.
On a happy note, you have a nice start here. The chapter's ending was perfect
Hope this helps!
There are quite a few typos and grammar errors as Vampy_Girl15 said.
The first sentence (quoted above) is downright hard to understand. Try polishing that one up.
You have several simple sentence-structure errors. You should learn/read more about grammar and sentence structure when you have time. It will help make this story flow better, and a better flowing story is easier to be read.
The same goes for the part quoted above and below.
You need to give the reader a better idea of who Katrina is. How tall is she? How old is she? How does she look like? Try to answer those questions as you write more of this story, but make sure you hide those little details in the story. Don't type up a paragraph that explains every part of Katrina. Slip in the small facts one by one whenever you can. The same goes to the vampire.
I do like how you compared the dead blonde to a rag doll. That's powerful. I also like the part about "gloomy sky that was threatening rain." Try to add more elements like that into your writing. The plot is good, too, but try developing it more.
Overall:
- Work on spelling
- Work on sentence structure
- Develop your ideas and characters more
Hope this helps and don't take all my criticism personally ;]
Summerless <3~
Well, I like the plot but this is too short to be a chapter. Now if this is only part of chapter one it's okay but I did find a few mistakes.
I'm guessing that was a typo.
I put in the commas.
I doesn't make sense. I'm guessing that you meant: "Katrina, I have heard a great deal about you. However, I must say that I am dissapointed."
Living and I added on.
