Big thanks toVampWolfGirl09,Mikaela, andglowing bookwormfor being some of the first to review my story! This one's for you guys! Oh and I should have done this earlier *sigh* Twilight does not belong to me and I have no rights to it.
"What did you say?" despite my trying not to, my voice cracked. Riley sighed running his fingers through his hair, a habit he adopted from our father.
"Vic- I was changed into a vampire two months ago when I left for school. I ran into a woman who turned me into this." He gestured to himself. "She sent me out to find a few more people that showed promise to be turned. When I saw you walking out there with Brooke… I attacked you." He conveniently left out the part when he drained my best friend dry. "It was purely impulse," He continued. "I just wanted someone I could trust; I never thought you would have a gift."
I thought about this for a moment. If he was a vampire and he bit me, then…
"I'm a vampire?" I asked, he gave a sorry look and nodded. "You turned me?"
"It wasn't easy, I could-" I didn't let him finish.
"You turned me?!" I shouted and I shot to my feet in less than I second. He didn't flinch like I hoped he would but he again nodded. "And you… fedoff Brooke?" Once again he nodded.
I took a deep breath, smelling much more than I thought I could ever smell, there was something there in the back of my throat, and it burned, but I shook it off. I was a vampire now… It just didn't sound right. I could never harm another person, when not in self-defense, and what I knew of Riley you had to kill humans to survive. Why was this happening to me!? Who did this to Riley, to all the once innocent people here, and why?
"Why am I… are wehere?" I asked. Riley shifted uncomfortably under my gaze. He was keeping something from me I could see it. This wonky-eye thing might be a good thing after all.
"You'll find out latter he said. He was about to say something but some kind of whistle blew and Riley smiled. "I have to go. I'll tell you more latter, just stay alive." He called as we ran off in the direction of the whistle.
He left me there in the middle of what seemed like abandon warehouse. People started fighting and shouting as soon as Riley was out of sight. They moved and talked with inhuman speed. There were some who stood watching what was going on, breaking up fight if they were becoming too intense, and making sure no one tried to escape.
I moved to a corner and sat there huddled up in a ball as I watched in horror as two boys ripped each other apart with their teeth.
"Hello there!" Some one very close to me said, or yelled. I tensed ready for whatever or whoever might come at me. "Oh sorry I didn't mean to scare you." The girl continued.
A tall blonde girl, with eyes as red as blood, was crouched down next to me a large smile was on her face almost as big as a Cheshire cat's. She just stood there smiling like a psycho.
"Did you drink anything yet!?" She asked suddenly, still smiling. "Because it is amazing!" she insisted. "I'm Chrissie by the way. But you can call me Missy." She just didn't shut up did she? "Well did you?" She asked
"Did I what?" I was confused. What was she talking about now?
"Feed yet?!" She said again. I shuddered at what that word now implied for me.
When I shook my head Missy immediately yanked me to my feet and dragged me to a door. A man, one of the few adults, stepped in front of it when we approached. We clearly weren't getting through.
"It's okay Elie, I'm taking her out to hunt, and she hasn't feed yet." It was a moment but Elie nodded and followed after us.
I looked back and received a few envious glares. Once outside everything seemed to stop. We were miles away from Seattle but I could still hear it. The wind blew gently through my long wavy black hair. The wind brought with it an appetizing smell that filled my senses and clouded my mind.
I inhaled the sent deeply and tasted a bitter taste in my mouth and my mother always told me to get rid of a bitter taste with something sweet. I needed something sweet. Every fiber in my being was screaming at me to run to the delicious smell and take whatever it was. I took a step forward.
"Hey! Not so fast!" Missy said stepping in front of me blocking my path. "You can't just go charging in, you'll drain the entire city."
I froze when I understood what she was talking about. That sent… was blood! Blood that belonged to a human being, someone with a family and a job and people that care about them. The worst part was that I didn't care. I just wanted the blood.
Oh Riley what have you done to me!?I was nothing but a cold heartless monster just like him.
"Are you ok?" Missy asked. My face must have given me away. "If you're scared about killing them don't worry it doesn't matter." She insisted.
"'It doesn't matter'?!" I yelled. She didn't flinch.
"It's not like your killing one of your own. Humans kill animals and each other all the time and they don't feel a pinch of remorse." She told me. "So why should we?"
When she said it like that I didn't feel so bad. I shook the feelings about "it's wrong to kill humans" and followed Missy to town.
The weeks past very quickly after that night.
Missy showed me how fast I could now move and told me about the strength, heightened senses, and Forks. Apparently there's this tiny town near by fill with the most delicious blood in the world, but we couldn't have it yet. There was a coven of weak vampire protecting the town. They weren't fit for this life. Drinking animal blood; disgusting. We had to kill them. Only then could we have the blood.
Missy taught me how to hunt without being seen and when it was right to strike. She quickly became a friend to me. I saw I could trust her and she already trusted me with her life.
We were allowed to hunt once every two days and that was only if we won our fights. The person leading us only wanted the strongest. We had daily fights and the losers were thrown to the fire. It wasn't easy staying alive. Missy and I were some of the only originals from when I first came here. I didn't see Riley anymore, not unless he was fighting me in training. Not until today.
"Gwen." He called me.
I gave Missy a fleeting look as I rushed over to my brother.
He was different. That's all I could say. He was emotionless and cold. He wore a mask that I could see I couldn't trust. He had a familiar expression on his face. The one he wore when he was about to do something he didn't want to.
"You'll accompany me on a mission tomorrow." He told me. "We have to retrieve something for her." He never spoke her name and nobody knew it. They said our minds weren't safe to hold that information anymore. "You need to hunt tonight."
"Yes sir." I said as curly as he was speaking. I heard him growl softly as we walked away. Missy was next to me in an instant.
"A mission?!" she squealed. "That sounds so exciting! You have to tell me every detail when you get back. Okay?" She asked. I simply nodded, still thinking about what was wrong with Riley. Missy was still talking. "And you'll be on enemy territory with Riley!" She sighed when she said his name. I made a sound of disgust.
The "war" has changed my brother. He became hard and cold and talked about herlike she was the sun. He was brutal and heartless to the others, as if he was taking some unknown hatred out on them. This meant more and more new vampires showed up here a day to replace the ones Riley tore apart. Now he was taking me out on a mission. I would have to watch my back around him; I could no longer trust my own brother.
Missy and I, along with a few others, left to go hunt. We quickly found a tour bus full of warm humans and attacked when it went on the back roads, out of sight. I drained two humans before I was full.
My thirst has been becoming uncontrollable lately. Blood, blood, blood, that was all could think about. It was always on my mind and seemed to be the only thing that eased the pain of it all. I was slipping up more often, killing more than necessary, and feeling nothing about it afterwards.
I was just like Riley… how pitiful I've become. A monster with no traces of humanity left.
I pulled away from the drained body in my arms and let it fall to the ground. I walked to the other side of the road and watch as my comrades did the same as me till there were no humans left, and the screaming stopped.
What a messI thought.
Well there you go! Tell me if I'm moving too fast and review!
