I'm Just Me
Chapter 6
Author Note: Hi, so we are finally going back to Lilith's story in this chapter! Enjoy!
Lilith POV:
I woke up with a start. Collette has just suddenly flown into my room.
"Morning! Listen. Me, Mother and Father are out for the whole day today, and sadly we can't take you with us. Vampires only, I'm afraid. Will you be ok here on your own?"
"Yeah, of course. See you later." I reply.
"Cool. Bye!" And she flies out again.
Once I am sure they have left, I get up and go into the bathroom. I tentatively turn on the taps in the bath, but to my great relief no blood comes out. Just plain water. I grab the bubble bath and read the label.
"Batty Bubbles" Sounds odd... never mind. I soon find out why it's called that though, the bubbles are in the shape of bats! I can't help but laugh. It's a nervous laugh though...
After my bath, I go downstairs and into the kitchen. My blood runs cold. Three other vampires are standing there.
"Ah... human blood... hasn't had this in a while..." and before I know it, one of them is biting my neck whilst the other two restrain me. The world starts spinning and soon enough I'm unconscious.
I wake up a while later, still in the kitchen. The vampires have left, and Collette and her family are still not back. I must get away from Downtown. It's too dangerous. I jump up and run outside.
The heat from the sun hits my skin and burns me. It's so painful! I yelp in pain and dash back inside. Passing a mirror, I see no reflection.
.God. The realisation of what I've become hits me like a bullet.
I'm a vampire.
No. This is a dream, right? I'll wake up in a minute and I'll still be a human. I pinch myself. My skin is cold to touch. I don't wake up from this dream.
I run upstairs and go into Collette's room. There's no way she would be able to have gone out today without protection. I reach into her wardrobe and pull out a navy blue hoodie.
Then I rush out of the house and down the street. Even though I have a hoodie on, I'm still in pain. It feels like a tooth is being pulled out with pliers. And with no anaesthetic.
Two hours later, and I haven't got further than half way across town. The pain is slowing me down. By nightfall, I have to admit defeat for the day and settle down under a bridge to rest.
I am woken by a strange woman standing over me.
"What are you doing here little girl? Shouldn't you be at home?" she crouches beside me.
I shake my head, unable to open my mouth for fear of biting her neck.
"Oh, run away from home have you? Well, you can stay here tonight...but this is my place, so I don't want to find you here tomorrow." And with that, she goes around the corner and then all is silent.
I sit up and lean against the wall, my head in my hands. My vampire instincts are kicking in. I want, no, need to go hunting. It feels like a necessity. I push it to the back of my mind and try to sleep...
...
"Mummy?" the 8 year old Lilith looks up at her mother.
"Yes darling?" Mary Sue says tiredly.
"I want to be a vampire when I'm older!" Lilith laughs and pretends to bite her sister, who shrieks.
"Lilith! Stop messing about! If you only ever listen to one thing I tell you, let it be this! Stay away from vampires! If you become one of them, you will regret it for the rest of your life! You're better off being the way you are!" Mary Sue says sternly. Lilith's gaze follows her out of the room. A look of puzzlement covers her face.
I wake up again with a start. My mother's words stick in my head now, why didn't I listen to her all those years ago? I wallow in self pity for a while, before snapping out of it.
"Lilith Pleasant, stop being so stupid. There is a cure for vampirism, so you will go and find it. Now." I tell myself firmly. It's still dark, so I might as well make the most of the time I have left.
Author Note: And that is the end of this chapter about Lilith! The next chapter will be about Daniel and Kaylynn. I'm not going to give anything away, apart from there's a huge plot twist... Please review
