Out of boredom and inspiration, I wrote this! It is somewhat inspired by a book I read, Juliet Immortal (by Stacy Jay). I hope you enjoy!

PROLOGUE

It burns. There is a fiery pit in my stomach that shakes me with pain to my core. The fire burns my insides, demanding for me to fulfill my quest.

On the cold concrete floor in the abandoned shed that I have brought myself to, I look around the night walls, desperately trying to find something to distract me from my agony. A tidal wave of pain washes over me again, and I double-over in pain. I let out a little whimper as the fire within my stomach begins to expand and take over my whole body.

A figure silently walks through the empty doorway. Running its hand lightly over the stone wall as it approached. "Do you refuse the transition, young vampire?" A soft male's voice asks.

I groan in response as the fire continues. Sharp fangs pierce through my gums, beckoning me to bite the person before me as my crimson-turning-black blood gushes into my mouth and dribbles on the concrete.

My fingernails lengthen and sharpen as he leans in front of me. The moonlight reflects off his eyes in a way that enthralls me. I clench my hands, and my new talons dig into my skin, preventing my urges to lash out at him from becoming actions.

"There is hope, you realize."

Our eyes meet again, and all sense of the world disappear—the cold concrete, the bright moon, the burning pain—all gone. I sit up and face him.

"Child, do you wish not to become what you are destined to be?"

I nod my head subtly. Not sure whether to trust him or not.

"You are aware of what happens to you if you do not preform the tradition of sucking all of the living blood form a human before sunrise, yes?" He asks as he runs his fingers through my hair. His fingers hold warmth.

I lower my eyes to the ground. "Death." My voice is dull and hushed.

The boy laughs. "Not in the slightest. Vampires tell you such things to secure you as one of their kind. If you last this night, the night of your rebirth, without tarnishing a life your vampiric life will diminish and die." He pauses. "However, a new life will arise to the soul and take place into a new world." He smiles a radiant and truthful smile.

I swallow a lump that has risen to my throat. "Wh-what is to see in the new life?"

He smiles, as if waiting for the question. "In the new world that you will be brought to, you will take the place of one whose soul has left the body but the vessel was preserved. You will take the life of the past soul and live it as your own. Do you accept these terms and understand what will be taking place?"

The world slowly seeps back to my senses as I think. As the pain begins to overwhelm me one again, I nod swiftly, anting anything to stop this pain.

He holds a white bead of some sort out to me. "Take this and let it set in your mouth," I do as he says as he continues to speak. "Last and most important of all, don't tell anyone of your past life."

The world darkens around me, and a deep unconsciousness takes over me.
