   The Broken Heart 
   You know how everyone and everything says that vampires are not real. Well I will tell you vampires are very real. I know they are real because some of my old friends are real vampires. That is where our story begins, by the way my name is Ally Graves. 
   
   
     
   
   
    It all starts on my first day at school in a little creepy, very rainy town named Witherspine. We had just moved there during the summer from Merdoisia. We moved because my mom Blythe Graves lost her job and she could not find a new one in Merdoisia. So we had to move sadly, I will miss all of my friends and our home. But for some reason I think it is a really good thing and I don’t know why. 
   
   
     
   
   
    We found a house and my mom found a job in a town sixteen and a half miles away from our home in Merdoisia. It took me a while to settle in. Me and my mom really didn’t want to move but we really didn't have a choice. By the first day of school I was just starting to like our new home. School was fine I just started tenth grade and had no friends, knew nobody, and it was just me and my mom. 
   
   
     
   
   
    There was three strange kids in the school there names are Alex, Michele, and Daniel Vona.Also called the weird, strange, and creepy ones. Why because of the way they act and the fact that they are never at school when it’s a sunny day. On the fifth day of school Friday they had just back from their two day trip on Wednesday and Thursday. They just kept staring at me like I was their enemy. 
     For the first two months everything was fine until one day I decided to take a shortcut home through the woods. I saw Alex, Daniel, and Michele Vona feeding on a mountain lion. Then when I was walking back slowly I hit a twig and they seen me. I ran as fast as I could home. I had thought I had lost them but when I got home they were waiting for me. 
    They wanted to talk about what I had seen. We talked for five hours about what I had seen. They told me that they were vampires and not to be scared of them, they also told me that he wouldn’t hurt me. I told them that their secret was safe with me.Then Alex and Michele left. 
    Daniel stayed and invited me over to there house the next day so that I could meet everyone. The next day Daniel picked me up after school at my house and took me over to his house. His mom and dad had made me some chicken. They welcomed me in like I was one of their own. They were very nice vampires. 
    After a while Alex noticed her brother Daniel acting weird whenever he is around me. Alex asked her brother if anything is wrong, Daniel denied everything. Alex suspects that Daniel likes me. The next day Alex asked her brother if he liked me he shook his head yes. Later Alex asked me if I liked Daniel I told her no. 
    The next day there were two new kids their names were Lily and Tina Monia, they are sisters. The two sisters did everything together. Two weeks later two more new kids came their names were Luke and Andrew Vixon. Daniels feelings grow for Ally, but Ally likes Luke. 
    The next day I went to Lilly’s and Tina’s house and I seen them use their magic. Luke and Andrew were passing by and they seen me.They also seen Lilly and Tina use their magic. The three of us knocked on their door and told them what we seen. We all promised not to tell anyone that they had powers, then we all left. 
    One week later Mark and Carrie Reed moved to town. They were total opposites they had nothing in common. I introduced them to everyone they made friends very easy. But when Mark met Lilly there were sparks, they hit it off very well. A few weeks went by and school was fine until the middle of the school year came, and we had a ton of tests. 
    A month later we finally finished our tests and the school year was back to normal. Except all of the strange things I had seen everything is cool. Carrie notices that her brother Mark likes Lilly. So Carrie asked Lilly if she liked Mark she told her yes. Later that day Mark asked Lilly out she told him yes. 
    When Carrie found out her brother and Lilly were dating she was so upset with her brother. So Carrie goes and confronts Lilly and tells her to break up with her brother. She told Carrie no, so Carrie started a fight with Lilly. Carrie tries to kill Lilly, but before she did she told her she could live if she broke up with Mark, she told her no. So Carrie killed her. 
    When Mark found out that his sister Carrie had killed Lilly he was furious. He told his sister that he hated her and never wanted to see or hear her ever again. Later that week Carrie had gotten cancer and because she had nobody to take care of her she died two days later. Mark went into a deep deep depression over Lilly’s death. Later that day Luke asked me out and I told him yes. 
    I waited a few days before I told the Vona’s that I was dating Luke because I didn’t know how they would react. Alex and Michele were happy for me. Daniel was mad for some reason. Then Daniel told me that he liked me, I told him that I liked him but as a friend. Since then it’s been two weeks since I had seen or heard from Daniel. 
    Tina Monia Lilly’s sister tried to help Mark get over Lilly but it didn’t work. She has been helping him for the last few weeks and since then she has developed feelings for Mark. But Mark loved Lilly and he doesn’t want to ever date again. Daniel reappeared and went over to Luke’s house and told him to break up with me or there would be severe consequences. Luke didn’t listen. 
    Two days later Luke and Daniel got into a fight. Luke got hurt really badly Daniel did not. Luke almost died but Tina seen him and healed him just in time.  Later that day Daniel told Ally about the fight. Tina went over to the Vona’s house to ask Daniel what had happened. 
    Daniel wasn’t there Andrew was the only one there. Andrew had always liked Tina, he was able to keep it a secret. But what Andrew didn’t know was that Tina liked him. While she was there he asked her out she told him yes. So they started dating. 
    While Tina was with Andrew, Mark ate something and it made him sick. By the time Tina returned there was nothing she could do he was dead. Later that day she told everyone that Mark was dead. The next day was Lilly’s funeral. Everyone cried but the Vona’s, that was the start of the funerals. 
    One week later was Carrie’s funeral. Nobody cried for her except her family. Two more weeks passed then there was Mark’s funeral everyone cried. After the funeral we all went somewhere to eat. Luke didn’t talk to me for two months and I really didn’t know why. 
    Another week went by, then two more new kids moved to town. Their names were Jake and Amy Clarin two very weird kids. They did everything together the only thing they didn’t have in common was that Jake is athletic, Amy is not. The next day I went over to see Luke, but his mother said he wasn’t home. I could tell that she was mad at me for something, so I decided to go looking for Luke. An hour later I found him in the park staring at the sky. I went over and sat by him and asked him if he was mad at me. 
    He said “Of course i’m mad at you, you took up for Daniel and not me!” 
    Then he said “I thought you liked me, but it seems you don’t.” 
    Finally he said “We are done!!!!” 
    After that I went home and cried for hours. Then when my mom came home she heard me crying and she comforted me until I stopped crying. When I did my mom asked me why I was crying. I told her Luke Vixon dumped me. For the next week I didn’t talk to anyone. 
    The next day two new kids arrived they were twins. Their names were Marinda and Mike Blue. They may be twins but they are nothing alike. Mike hates sports, but Marinda loves sports and is very athletic. The next day Mike joined the math team, so weird. 
    Another two weeks went by and another new kid came his name was Sam Larkson.He was really cute. I showed him around town and had him meet everyone. He was very nice and very quiet. Daniel got mad, because of the way I was looking at Sam Larkson. 
    A few weeks went by and nothing happened.But then Sam asked me out. I told him yes. Daniel was the very last person to find out that I was dating Sam Larkson. Why, because when I did tell him he got so mad he turned red and his eyes were bright red. 
    He didn’t calm down until Thanksgiving Break, which was one month and five days away. Thanksgiving was fun especially when five of my old friends came for a visit. Their names were Annabeth Lee, Percy Grace, Hazel Levesque, Sabastian Michaelis, and Elizabeth Dare or Liz. Annabeth told me her and Percy were dating. My friends were so happy for me when I told them I had a boyfriend. 
    By the time Daniel talked to me again it was Christmas Break. I decided to take another walk in the woods as a shortcut home from school. Which was a bad idea, because I sew Sabastian feeding on a mountain lion. I turned around and ran as fast as I could home. The next day I told Sabastian what I saw he wasn’t surprised like he already knew. 
    By the end of semester one Sam had failed math. So he asked me to tutor him. After a few weeks of me tutoring him he was no longer a failure at math. When Spring Break came around the cold weather had let up. But Daniel was nowhere to be found. 
    The next day me and the Vona’s went looking for him. But couldn’t find him anywhere. We all decided to split up and look for him. I decided to go alone which was a bad idea, I got bit by a poisonous snake. If Daniel hadn’t found me and got his dad I would be dead. 
    Next I went to see Sam and I seen him making out with Hazel. I freaked out and ran home crying and told my mom what I seen. She told me not to worry and that I would find someone else. I told her that I really liked Sam a lot. The next day I went to see Sam and he broke up with me. 
    The next day I went and told everyone what happened. Daniel felt bad for me he knew that I really liked Sam. Daniel gave me a big hug and told me it would be ok. I told him that it wasn’t ok, that she was my friend and she betrayed me. I told him that I was tired of getting my heart broken. 
    Late that night I told myself that I would be alone forever. That night I vowed to never date again…...
