Super short I know, I just had this idea about a southern newborn vampire, can't decide if they'll join a coven or just pass through... I used Grammarly to help since I, more often than not, miss my own grammar mistakes. I feel like it helped a lot. hahaha
Please let me know what ya'll think.

Darkness fell over the trees, an overwhelming mash of sounds and scents assaulting her nose. Eyes that had once been weak could now see in total darkness. Where once a fear of animals and human predators would have been was now a pang of hunger and realization that others should now be afraid. In the time it took to think about sitting up she was standing, time elapsing as the distance was covered by strength and speed. Trees bending and cracking, animals running in alarm.
Suddenly a scent so very much like melted chocolate and mint captured her attention. Blindly racing forward white teeth flashed and before the hiker knew what was happening he was on the ground. Tiny hands holding him down as teeth punctured and tore into his throat, warmblood coating her throat most soothingly. Pulling back she stared down at the person, red eyes wide. Yes, person...she had just killed a person.
Where was she? Who was she?
More voices, trampling steps through the ferns, she took off in the opposite direction as a group of hikers appeared. Hidden in the trees her lips curled back over her teeth with a hiss as the first screams began. There was no control, no resistance. Where she tried to run another instance prompted her forward. The whole party dead and bled dry in a matter of minutes.
Curling up in a ball against a large tree she choked out a sob. Face pressed to her knees as she rocked back and forth.
She was a monster.
She had a name, that's right. The memory was murky, almost distant and out of focus. She was Anne Marie Johnson. She remembered that now, she was something...something other than human. But she could only guess. The horrendous burning in her throat and the strength and speed made her think of fairy tails.
She was Anne Marie Johnson, a newborn.
