Alexandria grinned and stuck her head out the window of her dads van. Some random country song was blaring from the radio and she heard her siblings and friends laugh and goof around as they drove to their campsite for the weekend.
"Alex! Get back in the car!" Her dad jokingly yelled from where he was driving the car. She rolled her eyes and obliged, seeing the campsite come into view.

(alrighty)
Abaddon sighed as the car came into view. One leg dangled over the side of the tree branch he sat on, and he swung it a bit out of boredom. He glanced over at his friend, Christie, who had her gaze fixed on the approaching vehicle. "Are you sure this is a good idea? Last chance to back out," he offered.
"Yes. If we kill most of the family and leave the girl, her likelihood of rebelling against us and escape decreases since she has nobody trustworthy to turn to. We'll have her to ourselves for an entire year."

"There it is, the glorious campsite." Lilly joked, poking Alexandria in the shoulder from where she sat in the backseat, "Are you ready for mischief?" She waggled her eyebrows and giggled, narrowly missing a playful poke on the cheek from Alex.
They soon arrived at the campsite and started unpacking, setting up two separate tents with the already made campfire in the middle. Alex's dad and siblings claimed one, while her and her friends took the other one since night was already falling slowly.

The two vampires watched silently throughout the day, staying still and quiet for hours. Abaddon's impatience grew as night fell, and so did his sympathy as he watched the family interact. He turned to Christie, a look of doubt on his face. "I don't think this is a good idea."
"We've already come this far. Once the sun is down, the job will be easy. There's no point in turning back now."

"Adrian, Max, Rachel, Lilly, Alex, time for dinner," Her dad called, opening a package of hotdogs and motioning to them, "Eat up." Alex smiled at her dad and stole a hotdog from the package, taking one of the skewers that they had made earlier in the day and cooking it over the small fire. She glanced over at her friends and saw how close they were sitting and she knew something was up, she's have to pester Lilly about that before they went to bed.

Night fell quickly and soon they were sitting in the dark, laughing and joking around the campfire. Her siblings went to bed and soon her dad did too, leaving the three of them to pester each other for another hour before Adrian and Lilly went to bed for the night. She left them alone, enjoying the silence as she thought about going to college and having to leave her family and friends behind.

"That's all of them, isn't it?" Christie asked, grabbing Abaddon's arm and pulling him forward. "I'll take care of the family, you take care of the girl." The vampire was gone before Abaddon could protest.
He didn't want to turn the girl. He had observed her for hours today. She seemed energetic and wild, but still sweet and friendly. He didn't want to think of what kind of person she might turn into after turning, and he didn't want to be responsible for destroying her life.
Still, he had orders from a higher authority, and disobeying them would be catastrophic for him. With a heavy sigh, he pulled a thin black scarf over his nose and mouth, concealing half of his face. He didn't want the poor girl to remember his face. She would most likely come across him again sometime in the future, and he'd rather not bring back any trauma. Abaddon climbed down from the tree swiftly and quietly, then made his way toward the bright campfire.

Alexandria sighed and smiled, looking up at the sky and listening to the crackle of the fire. Life was going to be so different without her friends to help her get through college, though they would be together since they both got accepted to the same college. She eventually looked at the fire and the tents that the others were sleeping in, debating whether or not to put it out before she went to bed. Eventually she decided to wait until it had almost went out on its own before going to bed for the night.
The night was surprisingly loud she though, with the fire and the chirping of crickets. If she listened carefully she could hear the faint croak of a frog and an owl hooting. It was nice, loud, but nice.

Abaddon crept forward silently, careful not to make any noise as he did. Eventually, when he was close to the campfire that had nearly burned out, he spotted Christie. They made eye contact for a second, and he gave a slight nod, signaling that it was time for her to attack. He would have to wait until the girl tried to make an escape to capture her.
He saw Christie take a deep breath and unsheath a small dagger before entering the tent.

The fire slowly died and she enjoyed her last few moments of being alone, ready to crash for the night. She hummed softly to herself and turned around to see if her friends were sleeping, not hearing anything from either of the tents. She got a sinking feeling in her stomach and she looked around, she could've swore there was someone else there. "Hello?" She called, "Lilly? Are you awake?"
She didn't get any answer and she shrugged, brushing the feeling away as she stood up and stretched, making sure the fire was almost out.

Abaddon flinched when he heard Christie use her knife from within the tent. His sensitive ears picked up the sound of blood rushing from a major artery. The girl probably couldn't hear it, Christie was always very silent and efficient when it came to things like these, but his heightened vampire senses meant he could pick up on things like that. He let out a sigh and stepped forward again. He had to turn the girl. It was now or never.

Alex heard what sounded like a footstep and she turned, seeing someone in the dim light of the fire, "W-who are you?" She asked, taking a small step backwards. "Lilly?" She called again, "Adrian? Are you guys playing a prank on me?"

"Shh," Abaddon said, taking a large step forward. "You'll wake them up." His voice was soft and slightly muffled by the scarf.

"Who. Are. You?" She asked again, her eyes wide in fear. She took another step backwards, shaking slightly, "Dad? Are you awake?"

"Stop moving. You're making things more difficult than it has to be," he explained, still moving slowly and carefully. "In fact, it would be much easier if you just stopped, relaxed, and closed your eyes. This tends to hurt a lot more when you struggle."

She shook her, "I'm not going to listen to you," Alex took another step back, desperately wanting to run, but not wanting to abandon her family and friends.

"Of course you aren't, nobody ever does," Abaddon muttered. "Guess it's going to be another difficult night for me." Within a half second, he had made his way toward the girl. They were now only inches apart, and he had a tight grip on both of her wrists. "I'm giving you one more chance to close your eyes and stay still. Trust me when I say it's going to make things a lot easier for the both of us."

"No." She said, struggling as she tried to pull her arms away from him, "Let me go." She was still shaking lightly but adrenaline was running through her veins and she barely noticed.

"Sorry sweetheart, but that's not gonna happen. I've got orders from the big boss, I don't have a choice here." His expression softened slightly as he looked at her. "But if I did, I'd never do this to you. I'm sorry."

(should we keep going or should he turn her now?)

(He can turn her)
She made a small noise almost like a squeak and looked at the tents, "Dad?! Wake up!" She yelled, still trying to get away from him.

"It's useless. You're not getting away. Just relax," he whispered, leaning forward toward her neck. His sharp fangs brushed her skin. "This is going to sting a bit. And you're going to get sleepy." he warned before sinking his fangs in and releasing venom into her bloodstream.

Alex pressed her eyes shut and whimpered slightly, still trying to get away from him. "What do you want from me?" She asked, "What did you do?" Almost immediately she grew more tired, her arms sagging as she started to fall asleep.
