Wow, I'm surprised that people actually want to hear my story. I don't think it's that important but Oh well, here it goes. I have black hair that falls to just past my shoulders, red eyes that occasionally flash different colors, I'm a bit on the short side, barely even 5'. Listen to me telling you all about me and you don't even know my name.

My name is Alexandra Tau Dracula. Strange name, right? But seeing as Dracula is my dad, I think it's nice but I still go by Ally. Outside of my parents and two brothers, the only person on the planet that knows I'm a vampire is Alex, and that wasn't fun telling him for one reason; he comes from a very long line of vampire hunters.

But he had to be told, so one day when we were sitting in his room it just felt like the right time to tell him. So I pulled him out of the house with the excuse I wanted to go for a walk. I found a secluded spot amongst the trees before I turned to him, took a deep breath and tried to find the best words to tell him my secret.

"Um…. Alex I need to tell you something."

"What is it?" He asked with a horribly worried look on his face. I probably could have worded that differently….I just made it sound like I wanted to break up with him and that is the furthest thing from my mind, even though he might hate me after this. I tried to find better words to tell him, words that would keep him from hating me but if better words existed I couldn't find them so I said it the only way I could think of; bluntly.

"I'm a vampire."

"I know" He blatantly replied. I stared at him aghast, I couldn't figure out how he knew that. "And I still love you" He continued with a coy smile.

"But you kill vampires!" I cried, flailing slightly. He avoided my arms and chuckled.

"Yes, I do."

"But how?!"

"About three months ago I figured out you were a vampire, and I admit the first few weeks after I was trying to figure out a fool proof way to kill you and make it look like an accident" That really freaked me out but honestly I expected something like that.

"But then I remembered the girl I fell in love with, so I just figured I'd wait until you told me, then I would tell you that I've made a decision." His eyes took on a steely quality they only get when he's made up his mind about something completely, I didn't want to ask but there was no way around it so I hesitantly voiced the question he so desperately wanted me to ask.

"What?"

"I want you to make me a vampire." He said completely straight faced.

"No" I answered immediately; I didn't even have to think about that to know it wouldn't happen, couldn't happen.

"Come on, please?" He whined; which I found very cute but it didn't change my answer.

"No Alex, I can't and won't!" I yelled as I turned my back and stalked away from the delusional boy.

"Why?" he had to jog to keep up with me but I didn't slow down.

"Because!"

"Because why damn it?!"

"Because I CANT ALEX!!"

"Bull shit I know you can! I'm a vampire hunter and have seen tons of people who used to be humans!"

"You know nothing." I growled whipping around so fast Alex was knocked off his feet. He stared up from the ground stupidly and I pounced on him, grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him up so his face was inches from mine. "Listen to me Alexander Lawrence, just because you kill vampires does not mean you understand vampires. I will forgive you this time because you do not know what you ask." I dropped him back to the ground and turned to go.

"I don't understand….what's the big deal?" I wanted to just keep walking, my emotions were too high right now and I didn't want to hurt him but I don't think I would have the courage to have this conversation again.

"For one thing changing a human is….practically forbidden in my family and is frowned upon in the rest of society. Just think of it as bi-racial marriage. And even if it was perfectly acceptable...I'm….just not ready to do that Alex." He looked confused and I so didn't want to elaborate but I had come this far "I would have to give you a piece of my soul….it's….more intimate than sex." I felt a blush creep across my face and turned away to hide it. My back was to him so I didn't see when he got up and I didn't hear him walk over to me but I did feel it when he put his arms around me.

"I'm sorry." He whispered close to my ear "I wont ever ask you to do something your not ready for, you know that right?" I nodded and rested my head against his chest.

"Let's just wait awhile Alex, ok? I wont say no forever but defiantly not now." He kissed the top of my head gently and nodded.

"Want to go back to my house and watch some corny horror flick?" I unwrapped myself from his arms but kept our hands together, interlacing our fingers.

"Always." We walked away from the park, hands entwined.


I pulled the navy curtains over Alex's window shut and turned back to the man standing in the middle of room.

"So how do we go about this exactly?" he looked so self-conscious I just had to kiss him. His lips were so soft and inviting but I pulled away before he could respond to the touch.

"Very carefully. Now lie down on the floor." He raised an eyebrow but did as I said, he had waited long enough for me to agree to this and wasn't about to question me now. I kneeled by his head and brushed a stray lock of hair from in front of his eyes. I reached down into my innermost self until I felt my soul, it swelled up like a great wave and I almost got lost in its depths.

No one can ever understand the soul, vampires have spent centuries just exploring their own soul and can still be surprised by its beauty and strength. I held on to the contact with my soul as I looked into Alex's eyes, searching for his. It smacked into me like a wrecking ball, I was stunned by the sheer force of his will. I didn't even try to control his soul; I just tried to sync myself with his will. He stared up at me with questioning eyes, probably because he couldn't feel the connection I had just made. I smiled reassuringly as I forced a concentrated piece of my soul into my blood. I picked up the needle I had laid out beforehand and pricked my finger. I watched transfixed as a drop of blood collected over the wound like a liquid ruby.

"I don't have to drink that do I?" I snapped back to reality and shushed him while I shook my head, vampire hunters really don't know anything. I brought my bloodied finger to his face and drew the traditional symbols: alpha, omega, infinity. The beginning, the end, and forever as the blood began to dry I said the words to close the ceremony

"My blood to your blood, my soul to your soul" the markings soaked into his skin and his eyes fluttered closed and his breathing slowed. "Every creature has a beginning, every creature has an end. This is your end, this is your beginning, this is our eternity." The last words left my lips in a whisper and my eyes too fluttered closed, I would fall asleep in a second but the only though I had was I couldn't wait to wake up next to this beautiful man who would make a beautiful vampire.


I was pulled out of the void I was floating in by a cold hand wrapping around my neck. I felt myself being lifted up off the floor and lips pressing against my pulse point, my eyes shot open and I pushed Alex back hard. He fell to the ground, his obsidian eyes filled with hurt and shock.

"I'm hungry." I rolled my eyes but helped him up off the floor.

"Of course you are, but you can't eat me." He pouted but I just grinned and lead him out the door. We went across town and he didn't bother to ask me where we were going until we were walking up the steps of the building. I considered not telling him just for fun but that would be kind of mean since he does get so curious.

"These people are my family's blood slaves. They're always ready to give up their lives to feed us and since you are now technically part of my bloodline they will feed you too." Alex's face split into a wide, toothy grin.

"Good I'm hungry." I sighed, damn newborns can only ever think of food. We entered the building and Alex pounced on the first poor person who happened to be walking by. They squeaked as he sunk his teeth into their throat. I just went to find the head of the family so I could explain since trying to make him stop and wait now would be next to impossible.

Alex was sluggish as we walked back to his house, I could tell he wanted to sleep but I was a little preoccupied to worry about his immediate needs. I had realized about halfway back that taking a newborn vampire back to a house full of vampire hunters would be extremely stupid and I couldn't exactly take him back to my house.

The only thing I could think to do is for us to run before this whole thing blew up in our faces. I went to the park across the street from Alex's house and told him to wait for me behind some bushes. He had fallen asleep before I finished talking so I don't think I will have to worry about loosing him.

I ran into his house, making quick excuses to his mother as I bounded up the stairs into his room. I grabbed a duffle bag from in his closet and started throwing clothes and weapons into it. I had just zipped the bag shut when I herd the phone ring.

"Alexandra!" A voice yelled up the stairs. I cringed and tried taking calming breaths, normally people who call me Alexandra die and the only reason she is still alive is because I think Alex would be kind of upset if I killed his mother.

"What is it!?" I yelled out the door as I tossed the bag out the window, if I left with a duffle bag things might get a little dicey.

"Your mother is on the phone!" FUCK!!! I ran down the stairs faster then I went up and passed the woman holding out the phone for me to take.

"Just tell her I'm coming." I wrenched the door open and grabbed the duffle bag before heading over to where I left Alex. I know what that call was about and it was nothing good. She must have found out which means not only does the rest of my immediate family know but the entire clan knows. We could try and run now but that would only make things worse, better for me to go and find out how pissed they are and then run. I found Alex where I had left him, curled into a fetal position. I shook him awake as gently as I could but he still felt the need to try and bite my hand off.

"Hey don't get all snappy at me just because you're tired. We have bigger problems then your sleep depravation."

"Sorry" he mumbled "wha's goin' on?"

"my family found out about us…and this so….I'm gonna go find out how bad it is and come back to get you. Um….yea I'm gonna tie you to that tree over there so you don't wander off." The look he gave me seemed to meld hatred and disbelief.

"So let me get this straight. You woke me up to tell me you were going someplace else and that I should go back to sleep, is that about right?" I nodded and he curled back into his little ball with a humph. I chuckled as I tied him to the tree with the rope that just happened to be near by.

I got to my house much too quickly and entered through the front door as quietly as I could. None of the lights were on accept a small flickering candle coming from the den. I swear my family has issues with dramatic flair. I made my way into the den and saw my dad seated in his high backed chair with his fingers pressed together. Serious, serious issues.

"You have betrayed this family Alexandra."

"How so?!" I figured he'd be upset but this seems a little over the top even for him.

"I gave you life, I fed you and clothed you and put a roof over your head and this is how you repay me."

"Well technically mom gave me life…."

"SILENCE!! You- you turned that human….THING into one of our kind and I will not stand for it!!"

"What do you want me to do?? It's already done I can't undo the past!!" he was kind of pissing me off now and I just wanted to go.

"True, but we can always correct our mistakes child."

"What are you saying?"

"Kill the one with tainted blood and this transgression will be forgotten." My face darkened and I hated him, at that moment I hated him more than I've ever hated anyone in my entire life. That stupid, egotistical…..DRAMA QUEEN thinks I would actually kill my boyfriend, my FLEDGLING!!

"Over my dead body."

"Then you are no longer our child." I stared at him dumbly for a minute trying to process what he had said. His face was dead serious but I was having trouble accepting the fact that he would condemn his only daughter to death; that he would allow anyone, human or vampire to kill me without fear of retribution from the clan. I was shocked but if that's the way he wants it then that's the way it was going to be. I nodded solemnly and turned away; vowing never to come back to this house again. I collected Alex and told him it was time to leave, I think he understood I meant forever. He smiled reassuringly at me and I squeezed his hand tight. We ran as fast as we could, away from the town, away from my family, away from vampires and vampire hunters. For awhile it could just be the two of us, with no worries, running through the night.
