Halloween
Halloween.
My favorite holiday of the year. I can never get
tired of all the black and all the candy. I can even
handle all the screaming kids begging for more
candy from their parents who just give in, becausethey are tired of the kid making a scene. The one
thing I can never handle, however, is that all the
kids are dressed up as something that doesnt
exist. Every other kid I see is acting like a bad
imitation of a vampire or a werewolf. Maybe one
day theyll understand that vampires dont actually
look like that or that werewolves actually arent as
hairy as everyone thinks they are. Maybe theyll
realize that vampires could actually be among
them.
Im 15, almost 16 and have been that way for
almost two centuries now. I was originally born
and raised in Paris, France. My parents were traders.

They traded spices, jewels, cloth, food, and anything
else that could be traded. My mother was very fat
and my father was very pot bellied. I had one sisterand one brother, Elsa and Robert. My name was
originally Jezabelle Marie Coudres and I was getting
ready to celebrate my sixteenth birthday when I
was changed into what I am now. Two hundred
years later, and I am now known as Hallow Sky
Knight and I am still almost 16.
After my sixteenth birthday, I was to be married
to Joseph Cervantez. He was a Spanish explorer,
who failed at anything and everything. He loved to
spend money faster than he could earn it. Josephwas about 21 at the time and was seeking a young,
beautiful, and energetic wife, so my parents brought
me out to show him. He loved me immediately but,
then again, who wouldnt? I mean, Im young
woman with red-brown hair, blue-gray eyes, and a
slender figure. I was very fit for a woman two
hundred years ago.

When we were getting ready to have our
engagement party, I fell deathly ill with a form of
influenza. Joseph was upset that I was ill. He wasafraid that I would die and he would have to go find
a wife elsewhere. So, he made a decision. He
decided that he would change me and make me
immortal like him. What he didnt know, was that, I
did not want to be changed.
Three days after Joseph changed me, I killed
him. I ripped his head off, literary, and threw it in a
fire. After that, I left Paris and went to Italy to learn
all types of art, music, and literature. After I learned
all I could there in Italy, I moved on to England.When I got to England, I learned very quickly that
they knew the same things as the Italians. I quickly
moved to the Americas after that. I went to live in
Seattle, Washington and I currently reside there as it
is. I have lived here for more than 150 years out of
my two hundred and I still love it.

I have to go to a new high school every time I
graduate from the previous. I currently go to school
at Seattle High School. I am a junior there so I atleast have one more year of high school here. Oh,
and did I mention that I can read peoples minds?

Chapter 1
I was sitting at lunch time at a table by myself
when I noticed something off. People were staring
at more than usual. I tuned in to Jessicas mind to
see what the problem was. According to Jessica,
the head cheerleader, they were trying to figure out
why the new guy kept looking at me. I hadnt even
realized he had been so I tried to pay attention to
his aura.
He was dropped dead gorgeous and staringstraight at me. I tuned into his mind to see what he
was thinking and was not surprised one bit. That
girl over there sitting by herself looks lonely. Maybe
I could go over there and keep her company. I
wonder what her name is. Shes actually kind ofpretty Any girl would have been ecstatic to
know some hot guy like this one was thinking

about her. But not me. I was used to this kind of
thinking from a guy.
I always dress to repel people. I dressed in all
black and had my iPod on all the time. It usually
worked on people except this time. I listened into
Stephens mind next to get more information about
this guy. I cant believe hes looking at her. I am
Hallows only real friend, even if she doesnt likeme. Jeez, I cant believe Tyler is just sitting there
staring at her. If he wants to be her friend, hes
going to have an awful hard time doing that. It took
me forever to become her friend
So his name is Tyler, is it? And it also looks like
Stephen is a little bit protective of me. Great. I give
the guy one chance to be my friend and I find out
hes trying to protect me. Protect me from what? But
this Tyler guy is another story. He isnt that bad
looking and all but, I cant afford to like a guy that
has a life span of about 70 more years. When I am
finished reading their minds, I do something I

havent done in over 100 years. I get up and go sit
next to Stephen and start to talk to him. I am just as
surprised as he is of what I am doing.
Hey. Whats up, Stephen? I ask him. Um Are
you talking to me, Hallow? he asks right back.
Yeah, I guess I am. I answer. Well, Im doing
good. Have you seen the new guy? Hes really cool
and all but, he keeps staring at you. Its kind ofweird. I know he does. I can feel his eyes on me
over at my table. If you want, I can go ask him to
stop staring at you. Its not a problem if thats what
you want me to do. No. Its ok. You dont need to
go talk to him. Really. I dont care if he stares atme. Ok, but when it starts to get to where you
cant stand it, you tell me. Ill tell the guy to leave
you alone. Alright. Thanks Stephen. No problem.
Besides, someone has to help look out for you.
Youre like a little sister for me. Aw, thanks again.
I get up and leave after Im done talking to him.
I walk towards the commons area so I can wait for

the bell to ring to signal the start of class. As I am
waiting, Tyler walks up to me. I dont read his mind,
already knowing what is going to happen.
Hey, your names Hallow Knight, isnt it? he
asks. Yeah, I reply back trying to be as nice as
possible, for me. Well, I was wondering because
you looked awfully lonely back there in the
cafeteria. Well, thanks for your concern but I enjoybeing lonely. You dont have to worry about getting
hurt or being a bother for anyone else. That and, you
dont have to try to impress anyone when youre
lonely. Wow. I think that is the most words I have
heard you say. You dont say very much in any ofour classes together. We have classes together?
Like? How about, I tell you my schedule and you
can tell me yours? That way, you and I can know
who has what class. What makes you think I care
what anyone else has for class? I just want this
year to be over with. I will ask this though: What
grade are you in? Oh, so you are interested in
me? No but will you still tell me please? Sure.

Im a junior. What about you? Im a sophomore.
Now, if you dont mind, I would like to enjoy my
music without further interruption. Okay, okay. Illleave you alone. But just so you know: I will
always be looking out for you. Thanks but I have
enough people looking out for me.
When I am done having my discussion with
Tyler, I turn my iPod on and change the song toThinking Of You by Katy Perry. If my classmates
heard the music I listen to, they would freak out.
They all think I listen to hard rock, death metal, and
gothic rock just because of the way I dress. But
really, I listen to Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, A Day ToRemember, All Time Low, and a whole bunch of
others.
As I am listening to the song, the bell rings,
signaling the start of 6th
hour. I walk to my English
class wondering what Tyler meant by all he was
talking about. I am walking with Stephen to my
class because he has no one else to talk to, other

than Anthony, who is a total douche bag from what
I can tell from his mind. I enjoy Stephen walking
with me, I dont want him corrupted by Anthony.
When I get to class, Taylor Evergreen is
standing next to my desk. He is the one guy I can
trust and hang out with while being myself, literally.
Taylor is a vampire just like me. Except, instead of
reading minds, he has super speed. Even thoughvampires have super speed, he is faster than any of
us.
As I walk toward him, I catch a thought in his
mind that he is directing right at me: Youre indanger. As soon as I catch that thought, I realize that
Tyler is in my class along with another girl, who I
assume is his sister. I keep walking to my desk
were Taylor is, so I can find out what he means that
I am in danger. I know that you want to know what
I mean, but youre going to have to wait until after
class. After English, me and you can skip the rest of

the day. I give him the slightestnod thatI
understand.
Taylor walks up to me and gives me a kiss on
the check for show to the others. As he gives me
the kiss, I learn thathe is afraid for me. This makes
me anxious for this class to be over with, so I can
see whyTaylor is scared. Mr. Brown walks in at
aboutthattime and sees the exchange betweenTaylor and me.
Mr. Evergreen and Miss Knight. Would you
please save the kissing for when you are notin my
class? Thank you. Now class, we have a two newstudentwithus today. Their names are Mr. Tyler
Randall and Miss Jezabelle Randall. Theycome to
us all the wayfrom Italy.
Tyler and Jezabelle stand up in frontof the class
and talk a little aboutthemselves and Italy.
