The orphanage had always been part of the family, since pretty much forever. Off course this wasn't any normal orphanage, we took in the children off those who were taken by the damned, that's right vampires.
We would look at vampire attacks and then if a child was left an orphan because of it, we took them in. If they were willing we would train them in to some of the best vampire hunters around. Only I wasn't suppose to turn into one of the orphans. When I think back on it it's done my skills good but its also left me with no father and and only the physical shell of my mother. Now I live in the orphanage, run by my aunt and uncle.
I sat in my room reading my favourite book, Cinderella, I know it's a bit girly for a 9 year old girl who was being brought up by vampire hunters to be a vampire hunter, but still I like it. I heard my dad come up the stairs I could tell it was him by the barley audible sound of the footfalls. He burst into my room looking frazzled and panicked. He basically ran up to me, held me close and whispered in my ear 'Bea we have a problem' he picked me up and walked across the room, toward the cuppoard 'take this just in case and do not make a sound.' He handed me a stake, which he knew I could use if need be, and lifted me in to the rather large oak cupboard. He bent in and kissed my forehead and whispered 'I love you' and shut the doors, I sat and listened to his fading footsteps and then the door banging open and shattering glass.
The sounds of a fight were obvious and frightening, what the most frightening thing was not knowing what was happening and being separated from my parents. I could hear my mother crying, the most disturbing sound I had ever heard, and even more disturbing I couldn't hear my father at all.
I heard footsteps on the stairs and scrambled backwards in the cupboard then heard a voice call 'well fine spoil sports but I'm going to see if they have anything of value' I realised then that i might have to fight and shifted into a crouch and clutched at my stake tightly. Well at least if it comes to it I'll have the element of surprise that's got to help right? I thought as I shifted into a crouch as the footsteps got closer. The footsteps stopped and the doors flung open. I launched myself at the whoever, well do vampires count as people? I suppose I should say whatever was out there and clawed at it's face with my hand and the stake. Suddenly it grabbed hold of me and flung me across the room as if I was no more than a rag doll. I hissed in pain as I landed on my arm. I'm pretty sure i heard a snap but I don't care because all I could focus on was the pain in my arm and head. 'what's a matter little girl?' the man, IT, snarled 'did I hurt you? oh and kill your parents I apologise' he said the last bit as if it was a joke. 'hmm well we're going to need to do something about your attitude' he came towards me and ripped a piece of metal from my bed and grabbed me by my dark brown hair. I tried to kick out but he held me strong. 'oh you're going to pay for that' he, IT, ran the sharp metal slowly over my collar bone before digging it right in and dragging it along. I screamed as IT cackled. This was pure agony. But then the vampire screamed as well. And i was swiftly released.
'Bea?' i looked up through my tears into my cousin Leah's face the down to the vampire who was on the floor, stake threw heart slowly mummifying started sobbing again. Then I passed out.
