Life Right Now
Prologue: this is where I try to get you up to speed on how my life became the way it is.
I haven't had exactly what you would call a normal childhood. For one, it's lasted approximately five years. And yeah, I know that you hear people on the news saying that today's society causes kids to grow up so fast and yada, yada, yada. But, early mental maturity isn't even close to what I'm talking about. No Bratz doll caused me to be this way.
Nothing about society caused me to be this way, it was my mom and dad—and their physiology at the time of my… conception. 'Cause, apparently what all the vampire lore is leaving out is that if a human woman and a vampire man do it they end up with someone like me. A hybrid. All cause of the guy's super sperm. If that wasn't a PA for Safe Sex I didn't know what was. Because from what I found out, when I got The Talk from Mom when my lovely hormones started acting up, was that my parents thought they were safe. Two weeks later, surprise (!) Mom's walking around with a baby bump and Dad's freaking out thinking that some demon spawn is inside of her. Kids, use protection cause even vampire-human sex isn't safe these days.
Of course, the fun didn't stop after I was born. I grew too fast and matured at a freakishly crazy rate. Had I been born in a conventional hospital… or a hospital at all, my birth certificate would show that I'm five years old, but physically I look about 16. At least, that's what I was passing for right now.
Sixteen years old, Momma says I'll be a junior in high school when we move back to the states.
Oh yeah, and I had super powers.s
