Chapter 1: Remembering
Eli's point of view:
I remember that fateful night like it was yesterday. The year was 1767. It was a cool March night in London. I was out to do some thinking by the pier. I was thinking about ending my life that night. Suddenly a stranger appeared next to me telling me that I shouldn't do it. I told her that I had nothing to live said that I did indeed have something to live for and that everybody was born for a reason. I told her that she was wrong. The stranger got mad at me and said that I didn't appreciate the life I was given and the one that I had. The girl then said because I wasn't grateful that she would sentence me to live a million lives.
I asked he what she meant and she bit me. The pain was excruciating. After she bit me she left my limp body lying there cold and pleading for help. I never saw her again after that night. The worst part is that she made me a monster. I finally figured out what she meant by live a million lives. She was saying that I would live forever. So on March 23, 1767 I became a vampire. A creature forced to suck the life out of people. Forced to kill and be merciless to survive. But I do what I have to just to live. My motto as a vampire is, 'Kill or be killed'. So that's what I do. I'm not proud of it but…I don't have a choice now do I? I'm 259 years of age. As a joke I keep all the graduation caps I get every two years. I move once I graduate a high school so nobody gets suspicious. But can I blame them? The memory of the night in which I was turned is still fresh in my brain. Why do I have to live forever? All I want is to find someone like me. A vampire. Just so I know I'm not alone, staying young while everybody around me ages. If there's one thing I learned while being vampire is to not get attached. I was 16 almost 17 when I was turned. A junior in high school. All I really want that would make my whole life better is to know someone is like me. They don't even have to talk to me. All I need to know is that they are like me. More importantly I want to find love. During my 259 years I have seen my fair share in pretty faces. I just need to fine the right one. I was snapped out of my thoughts when someone bumped into me. It was a girl around my age. She had her hair in a curly bob that framed her face, she had extraordinary crystal blue eyes, and red lips. The most unique thing about her was her scent. She smelt like my maker but it wasn't her. Could she possibly be a creature like me? Hopefully.
"Sorry I didn't see you there plus I was lost." She said looking down shyly.
"It's okay. Are you new?" I asked.
"Yeah I just moved here from Romania." She smelt like my creator and was from Romania? Okay I bet my that she is in fact a vampire.
"Cool. My names Eli." I said smoothly.
"Clare." She said sticking her hand out. I took this chance to place a chaste kiss on her knuckles.
"Do you need help finding your class?" I asked.
"Yeah I have Advanced English with Mrs. Dawes." What a coincidence?
"I have her too. Want to walk together?" Pleas say yes. Please say yes.
"Sure. Thanks Eli." My name sounded really good with her very light accent.
"No problem." I said before we were walking down the hall. I will find out if she's a vampire like me if it's the last thing I do.
Well…What do you think? Review and let me know.
