A glimpse

Was all I could see

Of the girl

That was once me



A fading reflection

In a pool of water

That was crystal clear

And cold, but becoming hotter



A face

With dark, mysterious eyes

And a full mouth

Silent, except for its lies



A glimpse

Was all I could see

Of the girl

That was once me





Elani is my name. It is funny, in a way. Elani means 'light', and yet I am completely dark. My blood mother, Risika, chose that name because she thought it was amusing at the time.

I am a vampire, and a damned powerful one at that. I am the sixth most powerful vampire in the world. First, is Siete, Jager, Risika, Aubrey, then Jessica...then me. I would be more powerful, but I have only been a vampire for two years. Possibly, I could be stronger than Jessica, but I haven't wanted to chance getting seriously hurt, or killed. I mean, I am the fledgling of the vampire who stole her blood father's pride and took his blood in the process. That would make her harbor some hatred towards me. I mean, who wouldn't? I sure as hell would.

When I was changed into a vampire, I definetely didn't want to be one. Yet, Risika knew that I had great power and pursuaded me to change my views. Now, I am as dark as a vampire can get. Ruthless, merciless, and cold. Preying on humans has become a game of mine. A reckless game I play.

I've had a few run-ins with vampire hunters, but disposed of them nicely. Or should I say, rather badly for them. Though, I did get in a bad tangle with Adianna Vida, which wasn't very pretty. I almost died, but her sister, Sarah, rescued me. Sarah rescued me because she is a vampire. Quickly after, we became friends. I met Nikolas and Kristopher, and have had such fun with them. Of course there is Nissa, but she seems to not like hanging around with me.

Although I am much different from Sarah, as she doesn't fully accept the darkness of being a vampire, we still have a close friendship. We don't talk about our differences, and just have fun like normal teenagers do.

Though...I never really had a normal teenage life. When I was still human, I was considered different...dark. Yet it is strange since I was human, and humans aren't dark unless they are tainted with the calling of the night. And I wasn't. This still bothers me nowadays, and I often find myself wondering why...
