My name is Mynce Simone. I am in my late 30's. But really don't look it. Long reddish brown hair. Green eyes. Not to thick and not to thin. Built just right. To look at me. You would see a happy woman on the outside. Always has a smile and greets everyone. Just a happy go lucky person. But on the inside its totally different. Fighting who I am. What I am. Still haven't come to terms with this outcome I call my life. Don't get me wrong I will do what needs to be done if the situations presents itself. Survival is MOST IMPORTANT to me.

I often ask why me. I mean I know I shouldn't. But yet I do. People are worst off then me but right now. I can only think of myself. Yes selfish but why not? I didn't ask to be born. NOR did I ask to be born the way I am. Living how I have lived. I don't think anyone would want to be in my shoes. Having to fight for an IDENTITY. Some days are harder then others. Wondering will I ever be accepted for who I am? Why am I here? How I ever survived that tragic night. The night I came into this world. Fighting for my life. Have been ever since.

Let me take you back. Over 30 years ago. My Mom was pregnant with me. Single parent. Small apartment. She took odd jobs to support herself. She was a very proud woman. She didn't take any handouts. She wanted to do this all on her own. She finally got a break as a secretary. Josef Kostan a business man who I guess pitied her. Saw potential in her and helped her. He always said she was a hard worker. Loved money just like he did. Said her knowledge was priceless and was happy to keep her around.

Even though she knew what he was. She accepted him and never told his secret. She said she would take it to her grave. He opened her eyes to a lot of things. Telling her stories. To keep her mind off her own problems. Being a single parent about to give birth to a little girl.

The night I was born well. A birth of any child should be remembered with fond thoughts. My birth was scary for all around. My Mom came in the hospital not for labor pains. But someone though less about her life and proceeded to rip her to shreds. The doctors rushed her to the ER. Working on her non-stop. They didn't save her life. She died only MINUTES after she got there. But her child's heartbeat was faint. They rushed to get me out of her. I survived.

I wouldn't take a bottle. They had tubes to put food in me. But I still was withering away. They had NO CLUE what was wrong. But again Josef comes to the rescue. He took me from the hospital. Took care of me. Made sure I had everything that was needed for me to survive. Keeping an eye on me as much as he could. Somewhat like a Godfather would. Take the place of my father. Whom I never knew. NOR had any clue who my father was.

Eventually Josef told me who he was. What WE were. The word Vampire echoed in my head. I heard stories when I was young. Like we all have. Even though at the time I was eating regular food. He explained to me that not only was I vampire. But half human. Told me the story of my Mother and what happened to her that night I was born. A vampire took her. Fed from her. Watched her as she bleed from her neck. Using her as FOOD. This Vampire was angry. It was apparent he didn't like humans. Not only did he feed from her. He clawed at her. A slow painful death. He thinks from the bite and the vampire making her drink. It got into my system. Making me what I am today.

I have been away for awhile. Some distant little side of no where. Where I could grow up. Not have to worry about VAMPIRES or anyone else. Coming after me. Till I was fully ready. Well I am. I learned all I need to know. I need to be in the world. Have contact with others. I guess you can say I have the best of both worlds. Humans see me as human. But as far as my vampire side. How will the other Vampires take to me. I couldn't think about that much. Cause I would soon find out.

The shuttering of the plane brought me back out of my little flashback of my life. I was on my way to see Josef. All these questions I still have. Now that I am old enough. I want to know EVERYTHING. Who this Vampire was. I need to know. He warned me about how the other Vampires would take to me. I am one of very few. Half Vampire half Human. I didn't care. My fix for revenge was stronger then my fear of the unknown.

The plane ride was long but I was finally in LA. Not sure how Josef is going to react to me being here. Yes I do. Who am I kidding. Going to get a long boring speech of HOW could I do something as childish as this. Without even thinking. That I am risking my own life by coming here. That I should of at least called him to let him know. That he would've had someone escort me. That even if he said YES. But I know he would of said NO giving me the I KNOW BETTER story.

I am tired. Not sure if it was from the length of the ride or too much sun. That with I haven't fed yet. You see even though I can eat human food. I still have cravings. I need blood. I don't like to go after humans to get it. But if I have to I will. I remember Josef talking about some guy named Guillermo. He works as like a coroner. He is known to give out blood. I am defiantly going to look him up soon. But tonight I want human food. I just hope room service is still taking calls.

I know I have to go see Josef soon. That or call him. I am dreading that phone call. Even though he treats me like a child. I do understand why he does. He cares about me. Even though he doesn't like to show that side of him. I need to show him that I can take care of myself. That he doesn't have to worry TOO much. There are dangers being a vampire as well as being a human. I just got both things happening at the same time. Tonight I am going to try and not think about it. Tonight's agenda is simple. Order my room service. Take a well needed shower. Then get some sleep. TOMORROW is going to be a very big day.
