How many people believe in vampires? How many people want to be one? Who here would like to meet one? Well the truth is vampire are real. I know some people are thinking I am so loony person who is making this up, well I'm not. How do I know you say? Well that is easy to answer: I am one. The thing is we are just like you, but with some give and take here and there. Now I know you must be full of questions and, don't worry, I have the answers. Let me start off by saying the Hollywood version is always wrong and everyone knows that ( or should at least).
To begin with, my name is Eldin and I am 524 years old but don't look a day over 20 - not too shabby if you ask me. That little detail that we are immortal are true, but the thing is we can die just like you can. I had a few near death experiences in my time and they are not fun! The only thing is; we are little harder to kill than most. The vampires skin is like humans but our blood is so much different. See it's what is in our blood that helps us live forever. Our blood contains an extra cell that help rejuvenate blood count and repair any damage done by bacteria or aging. The kicker is that you have to be born with the extra blood cell and you can't transfer it or it will kill the person that is infected.
The cell stays dormant for the first 15-20 years of person's life, the activation time varies person to person. Mine started when I was 20. I woke up one morning (yeah the sun doesn't do anything but gives you a good tan) and the first thing I noticed was my eyes. Now depending on the person, the first couple of "sightings" can stagger between complextion, body weight, facial features and so on but they all have to deal with physical apperance. After you go through all your physical changes your internal changes occur. For example, while I was coming home from getting my groceries, I slid in my driveway and cut my arm on the sharps rocks. Once I got inside to clean it up, the cut was completely gone no scars or anything and the pain was gone. This all happened in a matter of minutes, so you can imagine what happens if we get seriously injured.
Now I can spend all my time telling you about what we are and how we work but I don't see any fun in that. So I am going to start of my story off at a wonderful place called Wyvern School for the Gifted aka. my personal vampire home.
