End of Chapter 13
I started making my way down the street when the pain seared through my entire body, causing me to stumble into the side of Johnson's house. My hand instantly went to my throat, to the injury I had received during my fight with the vampire. My hand came back sticky, my mind racing as I thought of the fight I had endured in the sewer.
I thought back, trying to remember the entire fight. I remembered it lunging for me, knocking me to the ground..my head spinning...I must have hit my head. I tried to focus on the little memories, and for some reason I remembered something I hadn't noticed before. I remembered the vampire cutting my throat with..something, then a searing pain. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on when it was close to me...I remembered a strange sensation of pressure on my neck where the wound was and..the monstrosity laughing at me. He said something...he said...'you will be like me.'
The horror of that caused me to stumble again, my weak legs collapsing underneath me. What had he meant that I was going to be like him? I gasped as I pulled my hand back from my neck, stifling a scream as I realized that it was coated in my own blood. What had he meant? I was going to be like him? I was forever damned?
Chapter 14
I wanted to run and find my father, to explain everything that had happened to me and the rest in the sewers but for some reason I knew that it would be the worst thing I could do. I tried to think about where to go, my feet taking me automatically to my fathers house. I stood outside outside, noticing that the entire house was dark which meant that he wasn't home. I sighed as I pushed the door open, realizing that this could be the last time I was here. I walked through the house, the waves of pain smashing into me like waves on the ocean, getting worse and worse with each moment. I realized that the end was coming, and if I wanted to say goodbye this was my only chance. I stumbled over to the table, grabbing a piece of paper off the writing desk and a pen before collapsing into a chair.
Father,
I hope that when you read this that the other group of men have come back safely to their families. I wish I could say that about the group I was with, but I believe that they all have perished by now. I'm sorry father, it was a trap we tried to fight back but it was useless. I wish I could tell you everything, but my time is coming to an end. Please know that I take all the blame for the others being hurt, I should have taken the warning to heart. I should have listened to his warning and maybe everyone else would be coming home. I can only hope that someday God can forgive me, and so can you. I'm sorry I couldn't say this to you, but I am afraid that having you see me now would be too much for both of us to bear. I'm pray you can find forgiveness even I may never be able to do the same.
I signed my name at the end and left it under the candle that stood on the table. I walked out the front door as another wave of pain washed through my body, this one the worst so far. My legs gave out beneath me, both of them burning to the point that I had to drag myself. I managed to drag myself to the cellar that was next to the house, pulling the cover back with the last of my strength. I somehow managed to pull myself into the cellar, my body screaming at me as I leaned up and pulled the door closed above me, leaving me hidden in the cellar covered by potato's..wishing I could die.

Hi all!!!
Just a note to say that I did not fall off the face of the planet!! I am still here, went through a lot in the last few months..I won't bore you all with my life but I moved then moved again and haven't had time to think let alone write.
SO....
This is me apologizing for not writing and being gone so much in the last few months.
AND a promise that I will do my best to start writing again soon :)
Hope some of you are still here, still with me :)
Thank you all a million times for everything!!!
