I don't remember his answer, or if he answered, the pain was too intense, i was burning, every part of my body was burning, my blood felt like hydrochloric acid running through my veins. My heart was pounding.

I tried to think of something, anything to distract myself from the burning. I heard laughter in the distance, laughter like bells. What was going on? Why was i burning? Will it ever stop? The laughter got louder, still like bells but it had a very sadistic edge to it. Did Eric do this to me? Was it him laughing at me being in excruciating pain? How could he?

The burning was in my throat now. Blood. I wanted blood and lots of it. Why did i want blood?

The burning felt like went on forever, but slowly it centered n my heart, it was pounding, then gurguling, then it stopped, and with my heart stopping the burning was gone. I opened my eyes, i was in a forest, but i could see and hear every leaf on every tree as the wind blew through it. More than that though was the burning in my throat, but a different kind of burning, a craving, a need for blood. What had Eric done to me?

I smelled blood, and i was standing, i didn't remember standing, then i was running, how was i moving so fast? I ended up on the edge of the forest almost in someone's backyard, there was a little girl on a swing, I crouched, getting ready to spring when suddenly there were 8 others around me.

"I know that you're thirsty." The oldest blonde male told me. "But there is a better way."

"What are you? What am I?" I croaked.

"We are vampires and you, my dear, are a newborn vampire." The leader said. "Come with us, there is a better way, you don't have to be a killer."

I looked around there were four pairs of vampires around me and the little girl had gone inside.

"Come with us." A short pixie-like girl with short black spiky hair approached me. "You don't have to be afraid, we'll show you a better way to survive." She held out her hand and i took it. I looked at all their eyes, all of them were golden except for one, she had blood red eyes.

"Who are you guys?" I asked, my thirst growing by the second.

"No time for that, you need to hunt."

"Hunt?" I asked in surprise. "Hunt what?"

"We are vegitarian vampires. We don't hunt people, only animals. Come with us"

I went with them, I don't know why when i knew that there was a family in the house right by where we were standing, in the woods, just out of sight. and then we were running, faster than I've ever imagined moving in my entire life.

"Okay, Emilie," The bronze haired guy told me, "There is a herd of elk half a mile away, let your instincts take over."

He was right, and i was running I caught an elk, ripped its throat out and sucked the blood in, it was utterly discusting compared to the sweet scent of the little girl, but i felt the slightest change in my thirst, but i still wanted more, so I hunted more.

In the end when the other vampires showed up, I had drained the blood out of 7 elks and 3 deer, the thirst was almost gone, but i still wanted that girl.
