Chapter 1: The Day it Happened
I was walking home alone from school and thought it would be best to take a short cut through the woods. A I was walking I had a lot on my mind and did'nt pay attentention to what was happening. Until, I felt someone watching me.
I was suddenly panicking and looking at every direction and every corner behind tree and bushes.
"Who's there?" I yelled. But recieved no answer.
And before I knew it, I felt a cold breeze rush through me and turned to see who it was. But did'nt see anyone. My heart was beating faster than normal and I was starting to feel scared.
But then I heard a voice of someone laughing under his breath. And gasped and turned to see that it was a boy with really white skin and looking pale. He was wearing a dark jacket, blue jeans and white t-shirt with black shoes. He looked at me with a big grin.
"Hey there, pretty lady. Fancy meeting someone as hot like you in a scary dark woods like this."
I shot him a dirty look. "Sorry, but I didn't know you had to pay to be in these woods." And put my hands on my hips and scowled at him.
'Who does this this guy think he is?' I thought as I stared daggers at him.
"Well, I like to consider myself as the head boss of the people around this area." He replied as I stood shocked at what he said.
"How did you know..." I was confused at what he just said because I was sure I didn't say anything.
He laughed. And in seconds found him standinf so close in front of me.
"Well lets see...it could be because I heard what you said. Or because I could read minds..." He trailed off.
He leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear as he gripped me on my arm preventing me to escape or move.
"Or maybe because I'm a vampire."
I gasped as my breath suddenly came to a hault. And struggled to break free.
"Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" I yelled at him as I suddenly was panicking and struggling to break free from his strong hold.
"Shhh. It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. I promise." He told me looking sincere.
"How do I know you're telling the truth?" Having fear and doubt in my voice.
"Well, I may be a blood sucking vampire but I do stand by what I say. And I never break a promise unless it was for a good cause." He looked serious as if he was telling the truth.
I gulped. "So what are you going to do to me?" Having gained back my voice I was breathing really hard.
"Whatever you want me to do. But...only for one condition."
I looked at him. "And what's that?"
"You give up your life for eternal life as a vampire. Think about it. You would live your forever doing whatever you want and you wont die cause you will already be dead...ish."
My eyes widened. Okay, some stranger is telling me he's a vampire and now he wants to make me into a vampire? What the heck?
"Come on, miss...you dont want to end up dead in a few years, do you? You want to live forever right? And the only way to do that is if you become a vampire"
I nodded slowly. He does have a point. "Alright. Fine. I'll become a vampire. But...I just want to know if it's going to hurt?" His eyes were glistening as he smiled.
"Yeah, it will. But don't worry. After it's done you won't feel no pain at all. And you'll have to get used to having cold skin, fangs, drinking blood and your powers." He said as he listed them down on his fingers.
"Powers?" I was suddenly surprised at this. I thought vampires only have fangs and drink blood.
He nodded. "Yeah, you'll be able to mind read, mind control, have super strength, super speed and have really high senses." He explained.
I could only nod. After a while of thinking about it. I smiled and looked at him.
"Alright. I'm ok with that."
"Really? Because I don't want you regretting this choice." He pointed out at me.
I stopped for a second. 'Will I regret this decision? Maybe, but it would be too late for me to change back (sigh) but I dont care. All I know is that being a vampire will help me get through anything because no matter what happens to me, I won't die. Because I'll be already dead...ish.'
"I won't regret it. Sue there will probably be some tough times but...I think I can handle them. I told him feeling so sure of myself then ever.
"Alright." He took a deep breath as I prepared myself for the pain that's about to come.
He bit me on my neck and I screamed out in so much pain. I mean, blood was coming right out of me and I was growing angry and impatient. I gripped onto him as he continued.
I felt tears coming out of my eyes as I began to sob. It hurt me so much to have blood come right out of you.
When he let go of me, I waited for the pain to go down. I was breathing so heavily. Never had I went through so much pain in my life.
As the pain died down, I felt like a new person. I felt different in a way. But I suddenly felt the urge for something to eat or drink.
He handed me a bag of blood. I only looked at it in my hands and shook my head in disgust.
"I am not drinking this discusting blood."
"Well, sorry but you have to. Because if you dont, you'll die. And do you really want to die after you just made it as a vampire?"
I looked at him confused.
"But I thought I was already dead?"
He shook his head. "You are but the blood is for you to keep yourself alive and full of energy. Because a vampire could die if they dont drink blood. The blood is what keeps them alive and if you dont drink the blood then you could find yourself permanently dead.
I shuddered at the thought and looked at the blood then back at him. I sighed,
"Alright then. I'll drink it." and took a deep breath from smelling the yucky smell it has and started drinking it.
I have to be honsest and say it tastes pretty good. After drinking it all I handed it back to him and thanked him.
"Now you're going to need a lot of blood to drink, ok. And try not to eat food because vampires vomit if they do eat."
"What? You never told me that!" I snapped at him.
"Well, now you know. Sorry."
I sighed. "Whatever, So far all I know is that I met a vampire who has turned me into one of his own kind as well. Found out I have powers like mind control, mind reading, super speed and super strength. I also learnt that vampires can die if they don't have enough blood they could die. And that you can't eat because you'll throw up!"
"Wow, you can catch on pretty fast." As he smirked at me while I gave him a look saying 'Not amused'.
"Anyways, I need to get home now. My mom and sisters are probably worried sick about me right now.2 And turned to leave. But before I could start running home he called to me.
"Wait! I still have yet to know your name" He told me as a matter-of-fact.
"Oh yeah, my name is Brittany. Brittany Miller." As I stuck my hand out and he took it.
"Nice to meet you Brittany. My name is Danny. Danny Stone." As he took my hand and shook it.
"Well, I'll see you around then. I need to get home fast now." As I turned to leave.
"Okay, bue then, Brittany!" As he waved to me and I was off.
I could not believe by the speed I was going in. It felt so new and amazing. I was as my house in less than a minuite.
I opened the door and entered the house and was suddenly ambushed by my sisters.
"Woah, guys. I'm here now. No need to worry anymore." I reassured them.
"Where were you, Britt? And why did you leave your cell at home?" Eleanor asked.
"Do you know how worried we were about you, Britt? Miss Miller is asleep right now. You should have seen her before she turned in. She was literally going crazy! Where have you been?" Jeanette shot at me.
I sighed and signaled them to follow me. We entered Miss Miller's bedroom and I shook her gently.
"Brittany? You're back. Where have you been dear? You had us all worried sick! And why do you feel so cold?" As she hugged me and tried to warm me up again.
I pulled away from her gently and we all sat on her bed.
"Well, let's just say something I have never thought would happen in a million years, happened." They looked at me confused.
"What are you talking about, dear?" Miss Miller asked with a puzzled look.
I sighed. I looked at them with a face full of seriousness. "I, I'm a vampire"
They all stared at me with blank faces looking lost.
"Seriously?" Jeanette suddenly asked.
I looked at her. "Yes, seriously. I, I'm a vampire." I stared down at my lap.
"Brittany how did this happen?" Eleanor asked me.
I sighed and told them about my walk through the woods and what happened while I was there. They all were speechless.
"So, you're a vampire now?" Miss Miller said slowly.
I nodded slowly looking down at my lap again.
"Forever?" Eleanor asked.
I looked at her. "Yes, forever."
Jeanette sighed. "Wow, you're a vampire. My eleder sister is a vampire." She was more talking to herself than to us.
"Wait, what are you going to do?" I asked looking at them.
Miss Miller sighed. "Well, there's nothing we can do but continue our lives the way we always do." She said.
"So you don't care if I'm a vampire?" raising my eyebrows at them.
"Well, we kind of were but now not really." Eleanor told me.
"Yeah, as long as you're still with us it does'nt matter." Jeanette smiled at me.
"Good. Because I don't want to leave you guys." And I hugged them all.
