Okay so, I have always wanted to try and write a vampire story but I never had the time to. Then I was watching the vampire diaries and BAM, I decided to write this.

So this is manly based on Vampire Diaries and Twilight, except it's more along the lines of Vampire Diaries. They do not sparkle; they burn in the sun, so I used the ring idea from vampire Diaries to make it easier.

Anyways, on to the story :)

Clare's POV

"Clare, breakfast!" I heard my brother, Drew, yell from downstairs in our new home. He's not my blood brother; he's more like a step brother. I also have a step sister, Bianca. Neither of us are related, we just decided to make our own family, since we had no one else.

"Coming!" I yelled out while putting in my silver hoop earrings.

Today was our first day to a new school called Degrassi and I wanted to look good, even though I know I can't date, but who says I can't have a little fun? I looked at myself in the mirror once more and smiled. I was wearing dark wash skinny jeans, a dark purple V-neck that hugged my curves and a black leather jacket over top.

I walked out of my room, down the stairs and into the kitchen. Drew was pouring my drink up while Bianca was drinking hers. I walked over and he handed me my cup of red liquid before I sat down next to Bianca.

So I guess you're wondering how this all began. How did we end up like this? What brought us together? Well, I think I should start from the beginning. It all started in 1903, a month before I turned 17.

*Flashback*

A few months ago, I had met this guy named Charles at a ball, and we just clicked. He was very handsome and had a way of speaking; he knew exactly what to say to make you feel special. He had shaggy blond hair and hazel eyes. There was just something so different about him, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Charles and I began to date and to be honest, I fell in love.

Charles decided to plan a surprise for me, since my birthday was coming up soon, and he took me to the town's church to have a picnic. Little did I know, I would be the meal.

As I walked up to the church, I saw Charles standing there with a smile on his face.

"Good evening Clarabelle" he said as he held out his hand.

"It's a pleasure" I said as I put my hand in his. He brought my hand up to his lips and kissed it.

"The pleasure is all mine" he said.

That's the thing with Charles. He was always such a gentleman.

We ended up taking a walk and starting talking about everything and anything. He asked me about my future and what I had planned, which I thought was kind of strange but I guess it's sweet. I told him how I always imagined of marrying and having some children. He actually listened to me which I thought was sweet.

We ended up back at the church and he opened the door before motioning me to go inside. I was hesitant at first but went inside anyways, with him following. Once I entered, I saw some of his buddies sitting there. I could smell the alcohol that filled the air and I scrunched my nose. They were all laughing and smoking.

"What are they doing here?" I asked Charles who was smirking.

"Oh we just want to have some fun" one of his buddies said as they got up and walked over to me, along with the others.

"Charles, what's going on?" I asked as one guy sniffed my hair.

"Relax, we just want to have some fun" he said as he joined his buddies.

They all started to touch me, on my neck, my waist, and some pulled up my dress to rub my legs and thighs. I kept begging them to stop but they just kept touching me. Soon they were actually kissing my neck and rubbing themselves against me. I kept telling them to stop but they would just laugh and keep doing what they were doing.

"Charles, help me" I cried.

"Oh Clarabelle, just have some fun" he said as he smiled evilly and started joining in on touching me.

"Please… stop" I cried. I had tears streaming down my face knowing if I screamed, no one would hear me.

By the time they were done I had already cried out all of my tears. I was still sobbing but not many tears were escaping my eyes. All of Charles' buddies had left, while he stayed behind.

"Do you want to know what sucks about the future, Clarabelle?" Charles asked me as he kneeled next to me and ran his finger on my neck, staring at it like it was something to eat.

"Hm" I mumbled.

"You'll never get to see it" he smirked and I gasped as I watched his face change. I never thought I would see something so out of the ordinary.

I screamed out in pain as he leaned down and bit my neck. This didn't feel like a normal bite, it felt like two sharp needles sticking in my neck. I suddenly felt very light headed and my vision became blurry. I didn't know what was going on but I soon felt very weak. All I remember was having Charles growling against my neck and darkness consuming me.

*End of Flashback*

When I woke up I was in a new house lying on a couch. Drew ended up finding me barely alive so he decided the only way to save me was to turn me. Drew was turned 50 years before he turned me so he knew how to help me. He helped me overcome the need for blood and taught me to control myself.

We ended up finding Bianca about 20 years later. She was walking in a dark alley way with blood dripping from her mouth. She was just recently turned when we found her so she had no control what so ever. We had to teach her how to control her thirst and how animal blood can also be satisfying.

We all became a family since we had no one else, but that's a whole different story.

I finished my drink, along with Bianca and Drew, and we all decided it was time to go to school. Bianca and I got up and followed Drew out of the door, well we tried but Bianca pulled me back.

"Do you have your ring?" she asked.

I smiled and lifted my right hand showing my silver band ring with a purple stone in the middle on my middle finger. "Never leave without it"

"Forgetting something?" Bianca asked. I pinned my eyebrows together in confusion and she pointed to her eyes. I then remembered I needed to wear contacts since having bright purple eyes are not normal.

When Drew turned me he had gotten me a ring to keep me safe from the sun. He noticed my eye colour and thought it would be cool to have a ring the same colour. I didn't understand why he thought that but I didn't care since purple was my favourite colour. Drew's ring has a dark blue stone while Bianca's is a bright red.

I ran upstairs and into the bathroom before putting in my blue contacts. I ran back downstairs and Bianca smiled as we both exited the house and into Drew's car.

"Ready?" Drew asked us as I sat in the backseat while Bianca sat in the passenger side.

"Ready as we'll ever be" Bianca answered.

He nodded and we drove off to our new school. It took a while since we lived out into the forest but it I didn't mind. It gave me a while to think. When I realized I was going to stay 16 forever, I hated the idea. I will never be able to grow old and have grandchildren. But now I have warmed up to the idea, well I kind of have to since the only other way out, is death.

We pulled up to the school parking lot and parked next to a hearse. I pinned my eyebrows together as I stared at it. Who drives a hearse as a normal car? I bet this guy is a freak and obsessed with death or something. We all got out and started walking to the school. I noticed everyone was staring at us. I rolled my eyes and we all walked up the steps and stood in front of the doors. We didn't really think this through since we have to be invited in. I sighed in relief as I saw the Principle Simpson come to the doors.

"You guys must be the new students, please come in" he said smiling.

We all smiled back and nodded before walking through the doors. He led us to the office where we got our schedules, books and locker numbers. Since it was about 3 months into the school year it was going to be hard to get along with people. Principle Simpson told us where all the classrooms were and the cafeteria. He also told us we can eat outside. He told us all of the rules and to have fun. We all smiled and made our way to our lockers.

"Clare, we have to go the opposite way, you going to be alright?" Drew asked.

"Yes Drew, I think I can handle myself" I smirked as I walked down the hall looking for my locker; my number was 332

330

331

332

I stood in front of my locker and moved my gaze down to find a guy dressed in all black sitting in front of it, reading a comic. I looked at his attire and smirked. He was wearing black skinnies, a black button down shirt with a grey blazer and a tie. I could tell he had a nice body. I noticed he saw my feet and he slowly looked up my body and into my eyes. I silently gasped as I saw his face. He was very attractive, but I can't think like this! But his eyes were the most gorgeous green I have ever seen. No Clare, snap out of it!

"May I help you?" he asked and I nearly moaned at how much I loved his voice.

"You're sitting in front of my locker" I said. I pinned my eyebrows together as I looked around the empty hallway. Why wasn't he in class?

"I've never seen you before" he said as he stood up and stood in front of my locker.

"I'm new. Oh, well my names not new, it's- it's Clare"

He chuckled and moved to the side. I spun in my combination and pulled on the lock, but it wouldn't budge. I sighed and tried again and it opened. I threw my books in my locker and looked at my first class. English. I smiled a little and grabbed my English notebook and a pen before closing my locker.

I turned to the strange boy and noticed he was staring at me. "What?" I asked.

"You have pretty eyes" he smirked.

"Thanks" I felt my face heat up and I turned my head to look at my schedule. "Do you know where Mrs. Dawes' room is?" I asked as I looked up at him.

"You're in my class" he smirked.

"How lovely" I rolled my eyes. "So why aren't you in class anyways?"

He shrugged, "Didn't feel like it"

"So where is it?" I asked.

"Follow me" he smirked and started walking down the hall.

I took a deep breath and followed him. I needed to control myself. Normally I wouldn't feel the need for someone, but this boy just… he's different. Oh my god, I don't even know his name and I am already feeling like I need him. No, I can't!

I was pulled out of my thoughts as we entered the classroom and everyone turned their heads to look at us.

"Mr. Goldsworthy, care to explain why you're late?" Mrs. Dawes asked.

"I was helping the new student" he said.

I lightly hit him and whispered, "I have a name"

He cleared his throat, "I was helping Clare, the new student"

"Oh right, Miss. Edwards" Mrs. Dawes said. "Please have a seat behind Eli"

Eli. That's his name. I nodded and took a seat behind Eli. Mrs. Dawes started talking about a new assignment and how we had to write a poem about fairy tales and if we believe in them. I find that ironic since I use to think vampires are fictional, but, guess I was wrong.

"Alright, I will be assigning partners." Mrs. Dawes said. "Michala and Alex, Dylan and Jessica, Eli and Clare" after she said my name I just zoned out.

Eli turned around and smirked at me. "Looks like were partners"

"Looks like it" I said.

Since we missed have of the class, the bell rang a lot faster than I expected. Everyone gathered their things, as did I, and we exited the classroom. I walked to my locker and threw my books in before I grabbed my books for my next class.

…

…

…

Today was extremely slow, and since I live forever, it kind of sucked. It was finally lunch and I searched for Bianca and Drew. Once we found each other we all went outside and sat at a picnic table.

"So, how was your guys' first day?" Drew asked us.

"I met this guy named Fitz" Bianca said. Drew glared at Bianca and she laughed. "Don't worry Drew, he's not my type"

Drew relaxed and nodded. "What about you?" he asked me. "Did you meet anybody?" he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Uh, yeah. His name is Eli, but we're not even friends" I explained before he got any ideas.

Drew and Bianca scoffed and laughed at me. Their laughter soon stopped as they looked behind me. I turned my head and saw Eli standing there.

"Uh, sorry to interrupt, Clare can I talk to you?"

"Uh" I looked back over at Drew and Bianca and they winked and nodded. I rolled my eyes and got up. "Sure"

"Don't have too much fun!" Drew yelled out as him and Bianca laughed.

"Shut up!" I yelled back. I turned back to Eli and said "Sorry"

We reached another picnic table and sat down.

"What was that about?" he asked.

"Oh, he's just being a typical older brother" I shrugged.

"You guys are related?"

"No, were not blood related, we just… don't have anyone else." I looked down.

"Oh" he mumbled.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked changing the subject.

"The English project. We kind of have to work on it together so would you want to meet up somewhere?" he asked.

"I don't know where anything is other than my house and the school."

"Oh, well then we can go to the Dot, I can just pick you up-

"No" I said quickly. "I mean, I can just meet you here"

He nodded slowly and I asked, "What's the Dot?"

"It's a little coffee shop"

"Oh" I said slowly. I don't eat or drink anything other than animal blood, but I wasn't going to tell him that. "Sure"

"Okay, when?"

"Tomorrow, after school?" I asked.

"Alright, it's a date" he stood up. "Well, not a date, but—you know what I'm talking about" he sighed.

I giggled and nodded as I got up and waved bye to him before walking over to Drew and Bianca.

"So?" Bianca asked with a huge smile on her face. "How did it go?"

"Were meeting up tomorrow after school to work on an English assignment"

"Well, you gotta start somewhere, right?" Drew asked.

"You guys, were just English partners" I defended.

"Whatever you say" Bianca dragged out as the bell rang.

So, did this suck as bad as I thought it did?

Please leave a review and tell me what you think :)
