Vampires
Chapter One
Before I get too far into this story, let me make one thing extremely clear: I am not human.
There, now that we got that out of the way, on to the story! I'm probably scaring you with all this; what can I say, I'm very enthusiastic. My name is Maia and I am a vampire hunter, meaning, I kill vampires. I was born sometime during the Revolutionary War, I can't remember what year, it was so long ago, or the exact date for that matter. I think I was born in August. We can stop aging whenever we want and we can start aging again. I'm about twenty, I think. We reach our prime at about twenty so, I decided to stop there.
Now on to appearances: I look human. I have normal blond hair; normal grey-blue eyes with a weird little yellowish ring kind of around my pupils. I've been told that they could be like zombie eyes. I'm about five foot nine inches tall. I weigh about 140 pounds, maybe a little more.
And my abilities include: A vampire can only do the same amount of damage that they can do to each other to me. Sadly, I can be injured just like a human, but I'm a little more resilient to damage. I heal pretty quickly too. I'm faster and stronger than a human and have better senses, but not by much; this is much amplified when I'm around vampires. Vampires were designed to kill humans, and I was designed to kill vampires. My nails and teeth are deadly too. They are more like claws and fangs.
My vampire-killing weapons: A werewolf/vampire-tooth sword (there is a technique, which I don't feel like disclosing), a similar knife, always need fire, a big werewolf fang that was given to me by my mother, and my teeth and nails, if I'm unarmed or desperate.
Now that we got that out of the way, let's actually get on with the story. My parents named me Maia, which means warrior. Seems fitting, doesn't it? To this day, my family and all others like me are hunting me down because I fell in love with a vampire. Emmett and I are constantly on the run, never staying in the same place for long. The vampire hunters are very skilled in the art of hunting vampires down, which is made worse by me being with him; it's like they have a homing beacon on me. I've tried to get Emmett to go on without me, that I will be fine, but he refuses to leave me. I guess I should be thankful, right? I love him, but I put him in extreme amounts of danger, and that bothers me, but at the same time, I'm glad that he's willing to go through all this danger to stay by my side. And that about sums it up for the present; now let's continue on to the past.
A/N: So, here is the first chapter! It's also kind of a tester, so let me know what you think! If I get good feedback, I shall continue this. So, please review!
