Carlise

As i sprinted down the alleyway I could fell the wind rushing up to greet me as if it were and old friend. We turned around the corner expecting to see it as we had cornered it in this alleyway. But all I saw was the empty blackness of the wall in front of me. We all stared at the wall, the empty, coldness of it. And the disappointment that filled us was overpowering as we walked home, our heads bowed. I was sure that we were going to catch it this time. We had it cornered! How could it possibly have escaped? I remembered my father's words- "It is our duty, as human beings to destroy these creatures, and the evil they spread with their very presence." Trust father to say that. He was so paranoid about evil and that he forgot about his own life. And the lives of others around him. That's how he lost me and mother. Once he was off on a 'hunt' (as he calls them) mother had had enough. She took me to Manchester about ten years ago. They're both gone now. Well, Mother is anyway. I never saw Father again. But I supposed some of his spirit rubbed off on me. I suppose that's why I'm here tonight. As if to avenge my father.

No, that's not it. There's something more to it. Deeper inside my body, a lust. A lust for blood. Oh no now I sound like a creature. A monster with a thirst for blood and carnage. A creature of evil and dirt. Dirt. Of course! These creatures wouldn't dare walk the street's so where would they go? The sewers! The dirtiest, smelliest most disgusting place on the planet. I would have to go there alone of course; my men could not see me in a place so vile. So I set of at once, sure that this time I would catch this fiend.

I went back to the alleyway were we cornered the creature, and when I arrived my suspicious grew stronger. For there was a manhole in the street, leading to the sewers. I opened the manhole, and peeped in cautiously into the small hole before me. Carefully, I lowered myself into the gap, and down into the dark sewers. There was nothing down here but darkness. A pit of water and darkness awaiting me so that it can swallow me up. Well it would have to wait. I had a vampire to catch.

And I got what I was looking for. There it was huddled up in a corner, it's pale skin glistened in the water and it's red eye's were gleaming.

"You have no purpose here." I said.

"Neither do you." Said the vampire. "I am Louigie, and you are?"

"Carlise Cullen." I replied, my voice, icy.

"Well then Carlisle, I suggest that you leave instantly."

"I don't think so." I said, dryly. "You see, I have a duty in this life. And that duty is to rid this world of the evil that you're species brings with you."

"Evil is such a strong word Mr Cullen. But if you want to rid this world of evil then by killing me, you will not have achieved your goal. To rid this world of evil you must rid this world of yourself. And I can help you with that."

The vampire stood up, it's rags trailing behind him teeth bared, eyes black now. I backed away, into the wall, but the piercing glare of the vampire froze me to the spot.

It was all very quick after that. I remember the vampire saying-

"Welcome to my world." And then finally the agony. The pain was slow and excruciating but the three days past quickly. But my nightmares had been realised. I had become a vampire. A monster. Evil.
