Preface

I am not a monster, but, I am not human. So where do I fit in. I look around at all of the people surrounding me and envy them; for they are blissfully unaware of the burden it is to be me, to be like me. They do not know what it is like to live in a world, but not really fit into it. I do admit that I put up a good act of confidence and security, but in the end that's all it is…an act. Sometimes even I forget that.

I am a vampire, a lawyer, and a sister. In that order. I am one of the most sought after family rights lawyers in Boston, but by nightfall I am just another vampire looking for my next meal. I take what I can get, and I always get what I want. I am not a monster, I simply have monstrous tendencies. What can I say, it's in my nature.

I've decided to keep this journal to see if it can help me understand who or what I am. A feeling of discontentment has overwelemed me as of late, and its slowly becoming more than I can bare. My sister says it's because of my lifestyle. She just doesn't understand, Aria hates herself so much for what she is that she thinks our whole community secretly harbors self-hatred. I personally don't agree. I've always loved being a vampire. I'm quite proud of it. But lately something has just been…off.
