Dead or Alive

The night sky was dark and scary,
Yet it was soothing.

The breeze was cooling,
Yet it brought shiver down my spine.

The life I have been through,
The rough and scary skies I've climbed,
Was nothing compared to this.

Never in my life did I fear losing my life.
Never had I came across this throughout my adventures.

Today is the day when I fight to live,
Fight with death.
And fight with destiny.

I believe that fate is in my hands.
However HE destines us all.
Though I prove my wrong and rights,
Now is where I throw them all.

The answer I wish to seek,
Now lies in the hands of thee.
The reasons to the answer,
Are now disappeared with me.

My soul is at peace,
My life was fruitful.
Today is the day,
Where I put it all through.

Overcoming Death

CHAPTER 1

Flashes of light blinded me, swallowing my every sorrow. That night when I stared into space, I felt every hair on my body stand. My last breath was cold and easy.

It is not your time yet child. Live once more and be thirsty my Nosferatu.

I awoke once more, my throat burning like fire. The voice in my head kept coming back,. It kept telling me to feed... FEED!!

I couldn't think straight. All I could think was.....b...blo...od....blood.. All I could think of was BLOOD! I had to have blood. My mind was blurry, had a splitting headache. I tried to figure out what was wrong with me until, I smelled something. Something so delicious. So, appetizing...

I started to drool. My hunger grew more and more. I followed the scent of the delicious food. My feet was light, surprisingly. My movements were swift and agile. It felt as though I was running on air.

I reached my meal faster then I thought. It was, a, deer. Wait, why was I in the forest? But that question left my mind when I felt my teeth grew longer and longer. I touched the tips of teeth with my finger tips. They were no longer teeth, replaced with, fangs.

I wanted to cry, cry hard and loud. But couldn't. I felt myself drawn to the deer. I tried to stop. I knew what creature I was. I knew what had caused me to turn into this creature I now am. I knew too well what I had to do. I guided myself through my instincts, even though part of me tried to hold back for the sake of my sanity.

As I sank my fangs deep into the deer's neck, my tears overflowed like a waterfall from a mountain.

Yes Nosferatu, this is what you were born to do. Your time will come very soon. Very soon you will return to your....

I couldn't hear the last few words the voice in my head had said because I was too frustrated and shut all other unimportant things from my mind. I want to be myself, alone, for the time being. When I still have a little humanity in me. I continued sucking the deer's blood, tears still flowing like a river.

I feared that I will lose my loved ones.... Well, not that I have any though... I hated the feeling of guilt for killing the innocent lives of others to quench my hunger, my thirst.

This time I thought for sure I would take the life of an innocent firstborn. But something deep in my heart, my mind, told me to control the beast in me. It told me that I was the one in CONTROL! For it is My body, My flesh and soul.

And so I learnt to control my inner me, my beast, for the sake of the innocent lives. If I had to feed on the humans, I'd rather feed on thugs or criminals.

That night, I heard the wind hustle, made my no longer beating heart skipped a beat. My fangs were stained with blood of thugs. I retracted it as I made my move.

I felt a sudden jerk upon my hand. And there it was, the very reason of my fear. My sire, the very vampire which turned me into the beast I am now. He was called, Dredge. Tall with dark blue eyes, hair short but curly, blond. Lips so lush that any woman he wishes to kiss will not back down. His lips told me that he was an experienced kisser. It also told me that he was very good at it too…

His eyes were filled unexpected emotions you could never think he had. For a vampire that is. He inched nearer and nearer to me, closing the gap between us until we were a kiss apart. His eyes told me that he wanted me... And wanted me BAD and NOW! It was so, demanding.

I couldn't stop myself, "I want you" he said. So soft that I almost missed him say it. Surprisingly, I was happy that I was a vampire that moment.

He crushed his lips to mine, biting my lip for entrance. I opened my mouth and felt his tongue explore every inch of my mouth. I shuddered when I heard myself moan in pleasure. Why? Why was I in heat for a male that is the very cause of the way I am now?

The thought of it snapped me back to reality. I managed to push him away before he mesmerizes me again.

He looked me in my eyes, hurt. I felt my heart throb seeing his expression. "Not here, not now" was all I said....

I wanted to get away from him. But I couldn't understand why I was attracted to him. To think that I almost lost my virginity to the man that made me into what I am now. Funny how it seemed that I felt lost when I stared into his eyes.

When I turned to face away, he grabbed my arms and yanked me to him. I was about to scream my lungs out when he picked me up in a bridal style and within minutes, we were at my house. "Why, why did you bring me here Dredge?" I questioned. He said nothing and placed me gently on my bed.

I opened my mouth to question him again but my body betrayed me. It moved against my will and stared into his blue navy eyes. He held my gaze that I didn't realize he was in front of me. "My Queen, I am honored to be of your acquaintances. You will rise once more. And be the one to lead peace between us Creature of the Night and the Living. Accept me... Accept yourself"
