Summary: One look at the new guy, Damon Raze, and Meka new she wasn't the only powerful vampire in her coven any more . But Damon is competitive and is determined to take Meka's spot as the most powerful. And Meka isn't going down without a fight.

My Story:

My name is Mekalani Nolvec and I am 17 years old. I have long black hair, deep, green eyes with gold flecks in them and porcelain skin. I live at 141 Ocean Avenue on Long Beach Island, New Jersey. I go to Region High school, but I take night classes at Ceasar Academy. Oh, and did I mention I'm a vampire?

I was born with a special gene that does not reside in your gene pool, but in your blood. It had been passed down through six generations before it reached someone in our family that had the strength to survive the change, which was me. Some would call it a curse, like my grandmother, but I considered it a gift. It was the key to my freedom and I gladly used when ever I could. I haven't exactly had the best life, my parents divorced when I was three, my stepmom abused me and my dad was never around. All of that changed when my mom, who I had not been able to see due to the custody arrangement came back to New Jersey. She was not a bad person she just had not had the money to continue the battle in court and had been forced to give up. When she came back I began to visit her and her fiancée; James. James was okay but he was not my father. I guess you could say I had a special bond with my father and if I didn't have so many secrets that were incredibly bad, I would have told him everything. After visiting my mom for a while I made the decision to live with her.

The change started when I was a sophomore in high school. It began with small things, like extra energy or a sudden urge for blood which led to me cutting myself and drinking it. When the urge for blood came, I did anything I could to satisfy it, because if I didn't bad things happened. I'm not joking either, I nearly killed my cat once, but he scratched me and ran for it. I was going to chase him when the scent of my blood caught my attention. That's how I realized that for the time being, my blood was mainly human and would work. I figured that by the time my blood was turned to venom, the speed, strength and other awesome vampire attributes would kick in. I was wrong, very wrong. After about two months, only my energy and vision had changed and drinking my own blood burned. I began to go insane. I couldn't get blood and without it my body would die. Human food no longer satisfied my needs and was beginning to taste repulsive.

The lust for blood was not my only problem. The change took a year and after about six months, the painful parts kicked in. My first experience with pain came in class one day, two months before sophomore year ended.

*Flashback*

I was in class, staring blankly into space when the pain first hit. It started as a dull ache in my chest, and then it turned to sharp knives stabbing me repeatedly. When it spread to my stomach I couldn't stop my self from gasping and clutching my stomach and chest with my hands.

"Meka, you okay?" my friend Tiffany asked, looking concerned.

"My stomach is killing me," I groaned. Then it spread to my waste and legs and I whimpered.

"Maybe you should go to the nurse," she whispered, "you look kind of pale."

"No, I'll be fine." But when it spread to my arms, I knew I would not be fine. I held my pain in for 15 minutes before it reached my head and I let out a blood curdling scream. I fell to the floor gasping and screaming; grabbing at my body with my hands, trying to make the knives stop stabbing me. After a few minutes a stretcher was brought and I was carried, screaming and thrashing, to the nurse. Obviously she knew something because she took one look at me and then made a phone call. Then she just sat there, while I screamed and begged for her to do something. Finally, when my vision became clouded with black spots and my screams seemed far away, a man walked in. He was gorgeous, with sandy blond hair and black eyes. He gestured to someone behind him and I was in the air, being carried out the doors, down the steps and across the parking lot. We stopped at a limo and a woman with short, curly blond hair stepped out. She carried a needle filled with a thin blue liquid and when she injected it into my arm, the pain became a warm tingling and my vision and hearing completely returned.

She leaned closer and asked, "Can you hear me? What's your name?"

"Meka" I said, my voice cracking.

"What's your last name honey?" She questioned.

"Nolvec" I groaned, sitting up.

"You're a Nolvec?" She said incredulously, "I thought there genes weren't active anymore. Hey Chris, her name is Meka Nolvec."

The man with the sandy blond hair Chris I'm assuming looked over with wide eyes.

"Aren't there genes inactive now a-days?" he asked.

"That's what I thought, let's get her back to the Academy, the drive will give her head time to clear so we can explain things. Oh by the way, Meka, my name is Tanya."

The academy turned out to be a very old fashioned looking, but incredibly modern school. It was like a college, but some of these people did not look old enough for college. So they explained all of it to me. I was a vampire it was in my genes, and my parents were called and brought in. They took it all very well, except for when my dad asked if I was pregnant when they first arrived. Two months later I was healthy again, with an unlimited supply of blood and medication to control the pain that came with the changes my body and mind was going through. They told me about how my skin would become pale, hard and cold and that I could have a gift. And I did have a gift. Other things that came with the change were superior strength and speed as well as my overly advanced brain. Many people who wanted power for themselves did not like me, because I was more powerful then anyone there. However, I did have three very good friends named Riley, Kwani, and Victoria. Kwani had very long, very thick brown hair and sky blue eyes. Riley was very unique with her auburn hair and violet eyes. It was hard to tell they were sisters. And Victoria had shoulder length blond hair that was always perfectly straight and everyone envied, and she had brown eyes.

*End of Flashback*

I'm telling you this story because I am the most powerful vampire in my coven, in any coven actually, but now I have competition. His name is Damon Raze and he has shaggy black hair, black eyes and is completely gorgeous. But he is also the enemy. He has powers, but so do I. he controlled all elements and read minds. I could make black fire and influence water. Plus I had telekinetic abilities I could make shields and move things with my mind. I was raw power and so was he. We were both competing for the right to lead. And neither if us was going down without a fight.

One look at him had told me: danger. He may be danger, but I'm death. And no matter what happens, you can't fight death and win.

I was not planning on starting a new story so soon, but inspiration for this hit me while I was painting my room today and I just had to write it. So tell me what you think, should I continue? And should I make a website for it? I kind of want to! I don't know where this is going but I like it so far thanks for reading please review-

Selene.
