There is Light
Chapter 1
There was nothing, nothing going through my head my head but the pain. The transformation of my body was excruciating. The venom pulsed through my veins, mixing with my blood. Bones, muscle, flesh, strengthening. My senses sharpening. My body became an alien creature to me, and the only thing that made sense was the pain.
No thought of my life before this point. My mother, my sister and I, growing up in our small, cozy house, in that small, cozy town. Nothing of my friends and classmates. No memories of laughing with my mom on the couch, Christmas with my family, or sitting by the pond with my friends. Not even anything of the mysterious boy, so beautiful, who offered me the promise of love and life forever.
Just the pain… An eternity of fire through my body. Or so it seemed. I started to feel something other than the excruciating pain and I realised it might finally be over. Coherent thoughts began to form in my head. I knew I just had to wait a little longer.
The fire began to recede quicker than I thought it would. First on the outer reaches of my body, then slowly moving inwards. Oh… oh my… it was over. I opened my eyes. My first thought upon waking was:
My name is Jamie Greene, and I am a vampire.
