London
As midnight approached he knew time was almost out. Jess was going to change if he wasn't fast enough. Finally he went around a corner and heard a faint cry. "Ryan...help me, please..." as her voice turned into a cry of pain.
"QUIET!" a rough voice yelled. Another smack echoed in the streets. Ryan had four more minutes before the man changed her into a monster-a vampire, forever. Finally, Ryan saw a faint light and ran. The light was bobbing in the water. "You'll never get her in time! We're too far. You'll never save her!" the voice yelled from the boat.
Ryan ran and jumped into the freezing water and swam, there was only two minutes left, then the process would be completed, all it needed was a full moon at midnight. Ryan swam as fast as he could to the boat and jumped on. He saw the man crouched over Jess about to bite her throat. "Soon.." leaning in...his voice growled as soon as Ryan jumped onto his back and pushed him from the boat. There was one minute left.
"I’m sooo sorry Jess, I was too late" Ryan said on his knees with her hands in his. The man managed to get behind Ryan and throw him overboard. He swooped in and grabbed Jess, bite her, and jumped from the boat, with Jess in his arms. "NOOO!" Ryan cried out. He jumped in the water after them, but they were too far. His eyes flickered shut as he fainted from the cold.
In the morning, Ryan found himself in a soft, cozy bed in a warm room. He jumped up and looked around frantically. "Sit, sit, your fine. You’re safe here." An elderly lady stood up from the rocking chair in the corner. "I found you on the shore this morning. Your boat... well it's gone. I’m sorry."
"Where's Jess?" he looked around the room again. He started to walk towards the door, when the elder lady stood up and blocked the door.
"No, breakfast first, then you can leave."
“No, I’m leaving now. I need to get to Jess" he said as he went around her and out the front door walking into the cobbled street of London.
Canvey Island
"No" one syllable escaped her lips.
"Yes, you are one of us now. Your boy couldn't save you."
Jess sat up and looked around. They were on the beach. The man was lying down on a beach towel, wearing only a pair of shorts. His arms were crossed under his head. He didn’t even look at Jess when he said “It feels good in the sun, totally different from the myths, but it gives you a relaxing feel.” He then sat up, and looked at her “Are you hungry? I have some food in the house. Fresh blood is good, but you can still have human food. But since you are young, you should have some meat. Come.” He said standing up, he looked at her and held out his hand.
“Who are you? Where am I? What have you done to me?” she asked him, looking up at his perfect face. He only looked 19 years old, “Why” she whispered.
“My name is Justin, you are on Canvey Island, and I saved you…” he started when Jess interrupted.
“What?!” she said in amazement, “What do you mean, you SAVED me? Ryan made my life perfect, there was nothing wrong, my life was wonderful. I didn’t need to be saved…” she was saying when she started to cry.
Justin sighed, “Come, you need to eat.” He bent down and swept her into his arms. Jess cradled into his chest and cried. Justin walked to the house, the sand crunching under his feet. Once he got inside he brought her to the living room. He laid her down on the coach and went to the kitchen for food. Jess sobbed quietly and looked around the room. There was a plasma TV on one wall, with a stone fireplace under it. The fire was fluttering in the fireplace. On the other wall, across from the coach was a picture of a sunset on the beach. It was huge. Justin walked in the door and saw Jess looking at the picture. “That was the night my family was killed.”
Jess gasped and asked “Why? What happened?” her voice was faint as she spoke. She looked up and saw Justin frozen as he stared at the picture.
“It was a horrible day” he stated as he looked down; leaving the trance he was in. He saw Jess staring at his face and smiled. “But that’s another story, you need to eat first, and I will explain what is happening, and why you are in this position.” He said, as he handed her a plate of chicken. He smiled and started his and her story.
Green Meadows
Jess slowly ate her chicken, the flavors churning in her mouth as Justin started his story. “Well, it all started about a year ago.” Justin began, “When you were, 16 I think.” He gave Jess a questionly look, as Jess nodded her head. “Ok, so when you were 16, the ”
Im not sure what to do next, so some suggestions would be awsome.

Other wise it was really good. You should also swap between the views of Jess and Ryan. Good luck!
