I felt him press his wrist up against my mouth. The sickly sweet taste of his blood filled my mouth. I fought the urge to swallow, but his made me. He removed his wrist and I coughed and gagged. My limbs felt oddly heavy, and I couldn't move. I remember vaguely after that he laid beside me and soothed out my hair. I tried pushing away from him but, it was no use. I tried to grasp any source of light, but I was soon engulfed by the darkness.

I jolted up out of my bed gasping for air. It was just a dream. Well, a memory.

"Ashley, you okay?" My roommate asked. I could see her face in the dark light of the room. She was pale, shaky, and clammy.

"Liz are you feeling well?" I asked. She shook her head. "Do you want me to get the nurse?"

"No! I'll be fine! I was just wondering if you could bite me. You seem hungry and you know I always feel better after you bite me so can you?" Her big brown eyes. So innocent, yet pushy shone at me in the darkness. I walked over to my nightstand and turned on the lamp.

I sighed, "Just tonight okay? And I don't want you to get hurt, so no more letting other vampires bite you okay?" She nodded and then sat beside me. I tilted her neck back and placed my mouth over her beating pulse. I could feel her heart quicken as soon as my teeth tore into her soft flesh. She let out a soft moan and I let her know that I cared about her. She could also feel how I felt and how much I hate being a monster.

"Ashley," Liz moaned. I stopped biting her neck. "Why did you stop?" She asked groggily. She was about to pass out.

"I took too much out of you, sorry. You stay in the dorm today. Okay?" I picked her up and put her in her bed. I changed out of my pajamas and put on my neon green skinny jeans and neon purple Paramore shirt. I brought my outfit and ran out of the dorm. I had to meet my friend Bobby before class. He said he was going to show me something. Bobby, Liz, and I all go to an Art school. I am a dancer, mostly ballet, Liz and Bobby are artist. They are amazing. I wasn't paying attention and I ran right into Bobby.

"In a hurry, Ash?" He laughed. I laughed back. Okay, so for those people who are wondering. Bobby's gay. We only like each other as friends.

"Sorry. Everything's off today. SO what did you want to show me?" My curiosity getting the best of me.

"How would you like to come over to my 'house'. Well my boyfriend's house?" He asked.

"That would be cool! So when do I come over?"

"After school?"

"Cool. See you later then," I ran off and made it to my class before the bell. I changed into my outfit and did my exercises. I was the lead dancer in the performance this week. Swan Lake. I lost track of time and before I knew it. MY only class was over.

I walked out and saw Bobby waiting for me.

"Hey pipsqueak," He laughed. It was funny because we were both the same height. I walked over to my car and got in. Bobby followed suit.

"So, were do I go?" I asked. He gave me the address and how to find it. In about ten minutes we pulled up in front of a huge house. I looked up at it in awe. "Your boyfriend lives here!" I asked. He nodded with a huge smile on his face.

"Oh, Milo's not here. He must still be at school," Bobby trailed off. I stepped out of my car and looked up at the whole house. Bobby walked right into it and told me to follow him. I barely made it through the door before I was pushed over by a huge white fur ball.

"Matilda! Down," Bobby said, not sternly or anything. Matilda licked my face and I laughed.

"It's okay Bobby. She's so cute!" I rolled her over and scratched her belly. I tensed up when I heard footsteps above me. Bobby helped me up and led me to the kitchen. "Hey, what would you like for a snack? I love to cook!" I asked.

"I guess some fruit. Milo always cooks for me," Bobby, said as he got a faraway look in his eyes. He snapped out of it and blushed. I picked up an apple, banana, pear, and some grapes. I walked over to the sink and washed them off.

"Hey, Bobby," A guy said. I looked back and saw a guy with red hair and electric green eyes. He looked at me, his eyes clouded over in suspicion. He leaned into Bobby and whispered, "Who is she?"

"This is Ashley. Ashley, Peter. Peter, Ashley," Bobby smiled and gestured to us both. I gave Peter a small wave and went back to cutting the fruit. The knife almost slipped and I cussed under my breath. I went back over to the sink and washed it off. My index finger started to tingle as it healed. None of them had noticed so I was safe.

"So how did you two meet?" Peter randomly asked, after Bobby and I started to eat the fruit.

"College. Ashley here is an amazing ballerina! You should come to her next performance! All of you guys should!" Bobby was almost jumping for joy. I looked at him to shut up, but he continued to talk.

"Really? I'll try and make it. Well if that's okay with you Ashley," Peter gave me a sweet look and I almost gagged.

"You have to pay twenty dollars for a ticket. The money is going to a local charity," I said and popped a grape into my mouth.

"Cool. So not to be rude or anything but why are you here?" Peter asked, his voice going from light and warm to heavy and cold.

"Bobby invited me over. And if you are trying to scare by your bipolar attitude it won't work. I've dealt with a dog scarier than you," My eyes were hard and cold. He looked taken aback.

"Sorry. I wasn't trying to be rude." Bobby looked freaked out by the conflict going on between Peter and me.

"Would you like a grape, Peter?" I offered my grape to him.

"No thanks. I'm not hungry." He backed away. I pushed my jet-black hair behind my ear. I looked over at Peter and saw him starring at me intently. I saw lust in his eyes.

"Hey Bobby how about we go to a movie or something?" I asked. Bobby nodded and grabbed his coat. I was wearing a black long sleeved shirt. I walked past Peter and grabbed my keys. I thought about offering Peter to come along but he would make everything awkward. As soon as we were in the car I turned the music on. Bobby started to play invisible drums in the passenger seat. I looked over at him and raised my eyebrow.

"Ash watch out!" Bobby yelled/ I looked at the road and saw a motorcycle coming towards us.

"Hold on!" I turned the steering wheel hard and we were off the road. I caught the face of the person in the motorcycle. "No! Not him! Anyone but him!" I hissed under my breath. I went back on the road and pulled up in front of a club. "Bobby you okay?" I could hear his heart hammering in his ribs. He nodded and got his breathing under control. I got out of the car and Bobby followed me. I brought him to a vampire club. The V. So if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a vampire. I do have a heartbeat, I do bleed and I can do some pretty cool things, unlike other vampires.

"Hey I know this club! Milo takes me here sometimes!" Bobby laughed. Bobby was nervous. I could tell.

"Stay close to me okay?" He nodded. I grabbed his hand and we started towards the door.

"Hey man look! It's a chick!" A guy laughed.

"Yeah and we don't care who's chick you are. You're gonna be our chick for the next hour. Ya hear meh'?" A guy pushed Bobby away from me and pushed me against the wall.

"Bobby catch!" I threw my keys to him and he caught them. "Now run! Drive as fast as you can okay!" He nodded and ran. I heard the car start up and speed away.

"Shut up!" One of the guys said and slapped me. I growled. I could tell that they were vampires. I smirked at them and they were taken aback. I lifted the guys hands off of my neck. He pinned both of my wrists against the wall. I used him as leverage and kicked him in the gut. I turned into a thirteen year old. Yes, I can change my age. I'm actually thirteen, not twenty. I moved faster than them and soon they were all on the ground bleeding.

"Don't mess with me or my friends," I kicked one of them in the ribs. I started to walk away when I felt a hand on my ankle. I tried to pull away, but It was too late. I heard the sound of teeth sinking into flesh. I let out a startled scream. I fell on the ground and kicked at the guys face. He had his teeth in so deep. If I pulled harder he would rip out my bone and flesh. I didn't care. I pulled and then I screamed. I looked at his mouth and saw my flesh and bone in it. I got up and limped to the club.

When I got inside, a guy walked over to me and told me to bite him. He picked me up and took to a room in the back. I looked like nineteen year old and he thought he was getting lucky. I wasn't going to have sex with him, but I was going to bite him. I purred and pushed him on the bed. He didn't argue. I brushed my lips over his neck and he shivered. The next thing I knew he gasped and I was tasting his sweet, warm blood. He felt like he was a nobody and that nobody cared about him. I shared with him that I did care about him and that he was never alone.

"Thank you," He moaned into my shoulder. I stopped biting him and pulled away. My ankle was fully healed. I walked away and went back outside. I saw Bobby and Peter get out of my car. Bobby ran over to me and that's when I collapsed to the ground. I felt strong arms wrap around me and then lift me up. Then it all goes black.
