Okay, anything you recognize from True Blood is not owned by me, but by Charlaine Harris or the producers and whatnot of the TV series. I'm not trying to cast off the How To Be A Vampire Book as my own, it was written by Amy Gray and can be bought in any good Borders Bookshop. Onwards, my chumly wumlys and don't forget to review! :oP

Chapter 1: The Announcement

Stacey's friend had been acting unusual lately. She stopped hanging around with Stacey and instead, stayed at home reading her 'How To Be A Vampire' book. So when Fiona called Stacey, Stacey knew something odd was going on.

"Hello? Stacey? It's Fiona."

"Oh, hey Fiona. What's up?"

"I just thought that I would let you know that I'm about to make a very, er, life-changing decision."
Stacey tensed. "Oh yeah, what's that then?" she asked nonchalantly.

"I'm going to be a vampire."

That's when the cookie crumbled. See, vampire's had 'came out of the coffin' a few years ago and people had only just started to get used to them being around, even though they were usually very hard to find. 'TruBlood' had been introduced - a blood substitute that vampire's could buy at any store instead of nibbling on a human, but lately, people had been seeking out vampire's, wanting to be turned into one themselves - that is, if they could find a willing vampire who wouldn't just use them as their latest snack.

"What are going on about Fiona?" Stacey said, breathless. She did definitely not want her best friend being munched on by a bloodsucker.

"I'm going to get a vampire to turn me. Now, don't get all protective, it's a very simple process - I've read about it." Fiona soothed, only Stacey wasn't listening.

"You are not going to do that! You don't know how dangerous this is!" Stacey warned down the phone.

Fiona slammed the phone down. That was the reaction she had been expecting. The thing was, Fiona just didn't seem to fit into the aspect of normal life, she wanted to be much more than she was. She wanted to be able to outrun a cheetah, be strong enough to lift up her own car and she wanted to be able to see in the dark like she saw during the day. She yearned to experience years of history in it's making, and then look back on those days with a smile. She longed to stand in the snow with summer clothes on and feel the flakes tickle her skin without threatening to turn her into an ice-cube. As you can see, Fiona believed changing into a vampire would be a fantastic and interesting experience - and she knew exactly how to accomplish her goal, thanks to Amy Gray and her informative book.

Now, where do I start? Thought Fiona, as she sat down on her bed flicking through the pages of her book. Aha, a sire.
