The Change of My Life
Chapter 1
My life was perfect I had a little loving family until my brother joined the war. I didn't understand the point of fighting to keep slaves. He didn't either, but he wanted to fight for our side to keep the civilians safe from the fighters in the north. He left when I was 8, and went missing 2 years later. He wasn't even found at the end when the prisoners were released. He was reported as a casualty.
I went into a state of depression. I wasn't talking or anything just lying in my room. I did that until my 13th birthday, when I went to a tavern out of town and seduced a bartender into giving me vodka. I got so drunk then stumble out. I just drunkenly ran into the woods to sober up then was going to go back home. I didn't make it; I got confronted by a man who drained me of my blood. He thought I was completely drain, but I wasn't. I went through the change. It was more pain then I ever felt. I woke up, and didn't know what I had gone through, so I headed home.
I was heading down a trail, when I killed a man. I went into a complete sock, so I went running deep into the woods at a speed I had never reached before. After a while I stop sat down, and I broke down crying. I was overwhelm with guilt and emotions. As all of that was happening, a deer walked by and hunger took over me, and I lunged like a beast. I hungrily drained it.
I was calmer, and I thought over what was happening to me. I realized what I was, and I understood that I would no longer have the life I did, because if I did I would hurt someone that I loved. I hid in the woods scared and afraid of what I was. I lived off the animals hoping I wouldn't hurt anyone else. I stayed that way until someone did come up.
I didn't want to attack them; I didn't even look at them hungrily. The way they looked, and how they acted was unlike anyone I had ever seen. I didn't care though, because this was the first time I didn't feel hunger when looking at a living thing. I wanted to say hi, but I didn't have the courage. I thought about saying hi and how I would say it. I heard it something in my head that said, "How are you doing that?" It confused me and I was like, "What?" That was until I realized that it was him, the boy in front of me, I was talking to him through my mind.
Knowing that, that realization opened my eyes to who he and what he really was; he was like me. He was a VAMPIRE. He was what I was afraid of even though I was one too. He was my worst nightmare. He was the bad guy in my dreams; he was like the guy who killed my brother. He had ripped people away from their families and loved ones. That was all that was running through my mind, but I also felt a trust in him knowing that I didn't have to hide for him. I worked up the courage and said, "I don't know what's going on with me maybe you could help."
I thought it wouldn't work, but the unexpected happened. He said, "Would you join us on a ship to Italy." I said, "Yes, if you tell me your names." "I'm Alec, this is my sister Jane, and these are Demetri and Felix; now why don't you come join us." "Ok," I said with a smile believing I could trust him.
I hope that was good, and if it wasn't please review and tell me what I could do improve it. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review.
