I woke, the sunlight blinding me for my own good. My cold, hard skin burning. I got up and closed my curtains. You see, if you're a vampire living in New York City, like
I am its pretty easy. People overlook you; think you're just some person living next to them. Okay, here's the thing I've been a vampire since well… since I was 13.
Flash Back
My parents and I lived in an apartment in Utah, and one night this guy, who we assumed was a burglar broke in, we did what any person would do, call the police. However, this guy was not a burglar he was a vampire looking for fresh blood. When I saw him I was scared half to death, I saw his fangs –not a thing a normal person who have-and the next thing I knew he lunged at my parents. I saw the whole thing, worst thing for a child to see. He sank his glimmering fangs into their bodies, blood everywhere. I just stood there like a rock, doing nothing. The vampire-dude took a long look at me, like he saw something I didn't. He seemed to notice that I stood there staring, instead of crying my eyes out. When I looked into his blood red eyes my body broke down. Knees buckled and I cried, sobbed endlessly. "No… no…it's all just a dream…"I told myself through gasps. The vampire looked at me, blood dripping down his mouth. He looked almost sad for me. At the time I was looking at my mom and then my dad. The truth sinking in. He got up and ambled over to me. Scared as hell I tried to run but still I was standing still. Letting him come toward me. When he was inches away from me he got on his knees and put his arms around me. Confused and scared, I collapsed into his arms and the dark entered. After that I found myself on a couch, a blanket covering me. The reminder of that night replaying in my mind. The darkness was slowly creeping away. "You're awake." A masculine voice said.
"Who? where?" I asked.
"Calm down, little girl, how old are you?" The voice said coolly.
"Thirteen." I said blandly.
"Name?" the voice asked.
"Danica." I said.
"Well then Danica, you might remember last night." The voice said slowly coming out of the darkness.
"Yes, yes I do. Are my parents… really… dead?" I asked voice quieting on the word dead.
"No, but they have now been entered into a place for people like them." The voice said finally walking out of the dark.
"Who…who are you?" I asked frightened.
"I'm Sam." Sam said warmly.
"What are you going to do with me?" I asked quite scared of the response.
"Well on regular circumstances I would suck you dry of all your blood, but since this is a special case I will take you in and when you reach age I will turn you into a vampire, I am only doing this because… well you'll have to find out." Sam said smiling. For a second he looked kind.
