My Story: New Beginning

Hi I'm, um I can't remember who I am right now I've had so many names. Give me a minute and I'll let you know as soon as I remember but for now I'll tell you a little about myself. I'm nearly 300 years old, and have lived in so many places I wouldn't be able to name all of the places without confusing you because so many places have different names now; though I live in Houston, TX as of right now.

Oh yes I remember my name now it's Katra. Of course it's not my real name but I will probably never remember that anyway. Oh yes I also have powers or abilities whatever you want to call it. I can control fire and I can shape shift into most animals (only predators). I'm one of the only members of my race who can control more than one thing; making me a target for the Vultory to add to their ever growing number of followers.

Chapter 1

I hate how we all fight over hunting grounds by night but hide in the same places by day forgetting our night time war. I want to get out but have yet to be able to do so because I don't know where to go, I could go way up north where it always rains or the sun is out only a couple months a year. But both of the places I have ever heard about that were like that have a coven already and both are larger that any we would have here.

I was thinking about trying to join one of those larger covens because of the fact that the larger the coven the more we would be protected. It would be a problem with my diet because I drink human blood and from what I heard they only drink animal's blood and they don't often move.

I was stalking a young human down the street; she had yet to see me. I think she was in a hurry to get were she was going. To bad she will never make it there, I thought.

I knew we were coming to the end of the chase when she turned down an ally.

"Yo girly!"

She spun around eyes wide. It was all over before she could even scream. I destroyed all evidence that I or she had ever been there; I won't go into detail about how I got rid of all the evidence I mean I wouldn't want anyone knowing how to commit the perfect crime.

I managed to do this all before midnight, which in Houston was my time. I don't know how I've managed to keep this time slot for so long being just me and all. It's the best time because almost nobody is out who would be missed. I know that I will soon be thrown off my pedestal; a new coven has just moved in, I had yet to meet them and was hoping not too.

Next I headed to an old haunt; my old school. Before I was changed I went to a school called Carl Wunsche Sr. High it's a career academy. It was fun hanging with friends and my boyfriend Max. Their probably all dead by now. I hated that I could never let Max know that I was still alive; well not alive but you know what I mean; it was so hard to watch him hurting. I would go to his house at night and watch him live his life. He wasn't the same after I died he got quieter, more subdued. He would toss and turn in his sleep and he wouldn't talk to any of his friends. I don't know what happened but one day he and his family just up and left. I believe that another vampire coven got them shortly before I got there that night because there is no way he and his family could up and leave all in one day.

Of course I could never be sure what happened. Sometimes I wish he was a vampire like me but I'm pretty sure that would never happen especially now 300 years later.
