Hi everyone! As you've noticed, I've rewritten this whole story. I took my time and feel very pleased with the results. I was so inspired to continue, this story is like a baby to me. Please remember, these characters are all over 18 and belong to me. I hope you enjoy it!

"Each has it lesson; for our dreams in sooth, come they in shape of demons, gods or elves, are allegories with deep hearts of truth that tells us solemn secrets of ourselves." -- Henry Timrod
Starting Over
"Lilly why now? Why do you want to leave now? Just stay-things will get better!"
Lilly could see the sadness on Amber's face and she knew exactly how she felt. Moving away from your best friend is really hard and if she could have it her way, she would have stayed, but too much has happened here and she needs to start off somewhere new. You would think that money could buy everything, even happiness, but that's a lie. Lilly have all the money she's ever wanted, but lost everything she had.
Lilly watched Amber as she took a sip of her coffee and swearing at herself for not waiting until it cooled of, "Amber, please...you are making this harder for me to say goodbye. Let's just enjoy dinner and not talk about it. We still have some time together."
Amber and Lilly met in preschool and became best friends ever since they both fell asleep in class and got in trouble. Ever since then they did everything together and now they are like sisters. On Lilly's 18th birthday Amber and her went to go visit Lilly's Aunt at the lake and they had so much fun swimming, camping and driving her aunt insane. She would always tell them these old stories about monsters that captured girls and keep them for eternity, to try and scare them.
Lilly's life was so empty now she wouldn't mind having someone gorgeous sweep me of her feet! Sadly her aunt passed away just after they got home. The doctors said that it was a sudden heart attack; something must have scared her terribly.
Now almost 19, Lilly's a very lucky girl. Most people would think that with all the money she would be stuck-up and a bitch, but Lilly's exactly the opposite. Boys really seem to love her physique and she doesn't mind the attention, but it never goes further than a smile or a simple greeting. She was raised with morals and wait for the love of her life, but the way things are going now - She thinks she will die a virgin. Most people only like her for her money or her looks, so it's very hard to trust people. Luckily she has one good friend that has her back, but lately she has changed a little.
Lilly knew Amber was a little bit upset that she was moving away, but something else bothered her and she wanted to know, "You are so quiet tonight Amber, what's wrong?"
Amber looked at her puzzled, "Nothing, nothing... I was just thinking about the place you're moving to. It's in Transylvania right?"
That's an unusual question, Lilly thought to herself, "Yes it is. Why do you keep asking?"
She looked at me with a playful grin, "Maybe you'll see some ghosts, demons or vampires there."
"Ha ha very funny. Amber come on don't tell me you believe in that stuff? You were the one that always made fun of me when we would go on a ghost hunting trip."
"I don't! It's just... do you remember the stories your aunt use to tell us? Maybe they are real and just like us."
Lilly ccould see Amber was debating with herself and couldn't understand why she could even believe those stories. She was the one that always made fun of Lilly for being so serious on their little ghost hunting games. "Now you're just crazy girl! Lets finish up I want to go home and start packing."
