Not all of my kind hate being what they are, there are some who embrace the night and the monster inside of them.
Were not pretty things trust me, were monsters but some of us choose not to welcome their monster. When we show each other our fangs we mostly mean warning, all we have to do is extend our teeth were the fangs come and out they pop.
We also have to be invited in a one living persons home,were there is life living in there we have to get permission. I believe it was an ancient curse put to the first of our kinds.
To become one of us it has to be sharing of blood. Our blood is not regular it is poison to whoever drinks it (that's not our kind). But if a person was to have our blood in their veins, both ours and theirs would mix together and soon there'd become a vampire or a fledgling. There not a vampire until they drink human blood, fledglings are killed every single day.
They have the qualities of both human and vampire, they can die like any human could and if they don't drink blood soon the vampire blood in their veins will kill them.
I use to be a fledgling but now I'm not, it's one of the reasons I faked my death. Even if though I used compulsion I still felt sick everyday I saw her face.Beautiful and fragile and a I almost ended her life.
Even miles away I could still remember the feel of blood in my mouth, full of life and light I almost couldn't stop, and I felt even worse when I remembered my best friend looking at me because I was a monster.
But she won't ever remember they both never will, unless they become a vampire. Only the strongest and oldest of vampires can compel other vampires. And I'm here to meet one of them.
I put on coat even though it was sunshine and walked out the door. I could here people's conversations wherever they were, I could feel their blood pulse through their veins. I closed my eyes for a second then walked on, I shut them all out and for one precious second I felt human.
But my skin started to turn red so I hurried to the place I was to meet them.
After a few agonizing minutes I finally reached the destination. It was a house and a huge one had two floors and an excellent backyard, this whole acre of land was isolated from the townspeople and this house could have been a vacation home or a mini mansion.
I walked up to the door and knocked on it a few times, the door opened and a young girl about my age with striking red hair faced me.
"Hi"she said politely
I was shocked that a young human girl answered the door but I didn't show it I smiled politely back and said "hi I'm Zaria I'm here to see Mr.Wakefield"
"Oh that's my dad I'm Rena come in"
"Thanks"I stepped in and looked around as Rena called her father. I tried not to look at her veins and instead focused on the fact that Mr.Wakefield has a human daughter.
Mr.Wakefield came down the steps and I felt the Power of him descend the room. H e looked ancient and young at the same time even with gray hair. He smiled at Rena and asked if she could leave.
"Sure but can I go to that fair thing...please"
"Fine but first wear this"He held out and elegant necklace which she put on her neck and left.
"The protection necklace"
"The protection necklace indeed"He said "can't let her go out unprotected"
"Sir I don't mean to be rude but how do you have a human daughter in the first place because your so...old"
Mr.Wakefield laughed "your generation does amuse me and call me Corrato"
"Your original name"
"From the old language yes"Corrato said "I adopted her as I adopted my other children"
"Why?"
"The life of a vampire is a very lonely one my dear, even we can perish from this beautiful world"
"Do they know that your a..."
"No I don't want them to it will only mess up their way of thinking"
"I understand"
"Zaria is it"
"Yes"
"One of the newest ones of our kind, and not yet overtaken by the beast I must say your stronger than I thought"
"Thank you"
"So what brings you here"
"I just want answers or information or protection it's just I don't know what to do instead of driving a stake in my heart"
"That probably won't kill you"
"It won't"
"Of course it won't it has to pure wood cut from the purest trees which are very rare"
"Oh"
"But I can make you a deal"
"Of what"
"Your a lonely traveler looking for some answers and protection and I can give it to you, I can teach you and I can train you. And if your good enough you may be able to live with your family again"
"Really"
"Yes"
"What about my death"
"They haven't a found a body so they haven't got good proof"
"I'll take it"
"In the meantime you'll live here as my assistant"
"Yes sir"
"Corrato"
"Corrato"
"And"
"Yes"
"If your hungry go to the locked fridge and enter the password"
"Which is"
"Corrato"
We shared a grin with each other and for the first time in my life as a vampire I felt happy.
