The Lilith File
Part 1
I awoke and slowly opened my eyes. I looked around for a moment to see what I had awoken to. It was a musky low lighted room. I noticed I was laying on something cold. I tried to sit up only to have my skin pulled, for it was sticking to the cold metal table. "ouch" My voice full with pain. I flopped back down trying to get a better view of my surroundings. There was test tubes and beakers all over sitting on shinny metal tables. Just like the one I was laying on. But I bet there not stuck like I am. All right I can't stand laying here, I'm freaking out. I THOUGHT I DIED! I mean when a chick gets poisoned there normally dead. Long story short, a crazy boyfriend got jealous. Ok, here we go. Slowly I sit up, pulling my flesh, pealing it from the table. I spoke again with the same pain running in with me voice,
"ok, this hurts" But I had to keep pulling my skin off or I'd never get out of here. Finally I was sitting up, I was naked! All I had covering me was a soft purple cloth and I was hooked up to a heart monitor, watching my hearts rate. I had kind of zoned out on it, when A few minutes later my ears were pierced with a high pitched yell. "DOCTER, SHES UP. I MEANING SITTING UP AND EVERY THING." I jerked my head over to the yell only to see a skinny looking twenty year old with odd looking glasses. "….OW! Yo, lady I have ears, and I rater them not be ringing." I had a completely serious tone. I know my grammar isn't that great. But I am a 14 year old girl who is living…was living…well I don't know, but in the twenty eight century. (2008) She looked over at me with her eyes popping out of her sockets at the sight she was seeing. Her voice was winy and filled with drama, "You…you spoke. This is all so amazing." my voice was in a whisper, "Um…I wasn't born yesterday. Of course I can talk." This lady was weird. She gave me a slight smile and calmly approached me. I guess not trying to startle me. Yea, I role my eyes thinking, What ever. But she may be able to tell me what's going on here. She got to my side and sat down.
"No, no you were not. You were born today…well more like 'Re' born today." She spoke with concern. What, I didn't have much time to think, for a tall, kind of scary looking middle aged man came into the room. I was confused…lost…a little scared. I quickly snatched the purple cloth and covered my exposed chest, swearing at myself in my mind for shaking as he walked closer. The lady just looked to the doctor and giggled. He came to my side and grabbed my wrist that was holding up the cloth. (good thing I was using both hands to hold it up.) He moved his thumb up and down my wrist. He stopped and glared down at me. I returned the piercing glare, letting a quite grr escape from my mouth. Nothing, his voice was just blunt when he spoke, "This is odd, miss amber." Amber was her name…hm? I knew he was only being polite because I was around, Just a feeling I got. But… "What's weird Doctor rose?" She was still speaking with concern. I looked at this 'Doctor rose.' My voice tried to show my fear but I held myself together, "Yes, I would like to know also….Doctor!" I gave him a stern look, demanding an answer. He just scoffed and began to speak again, "Well, It seems we did bring her back from the dead." WHAT! I couldn't be leave what I was hearing. "But, she doesn't have a pulse." His voice was still blunt but his body shivered when he spoke. "Wait...rose does that mean…?" She was shaking also, But I could hear the fear in her voice. I didn't know what was going on and I started to get scared myself. SOMEONE SPEAK. Please! I jerk my head over to Rose, waiting for him to answer. But this time his voice was shaken. "That's right. The living dead. She's alive, but the only way she can live is by feeding off of brains or blood." Ok, now I'm lost. I wasn't was scared as I was confused. "but which is it?" Ambers voice was cracking and I could barley understand her. But he doctors voice was a little calmer. "well amber, it depends if she's a zombie or a vampire. Now if she's a zombie this may be a little easier for us." He gave amber a look. Really, this look made me uneasy. Again he spoken in the same calm but shaken voice, "But! If she's a vampire...we might…" Might what? He doesn't finish a sentence very often like him and amber could read each others minds. My attention went to the doctors hand -from his cold moist eyes- as it was reaching into his pocket and pulled out a Swiss army knife. "Ok savannah just tell me how you feel when you see this." He didn't make contact with me, But when he spoke I could hear how scared he was. He flipped open the knife and cut his wrist. Not more then a second later his blood started to slip out from the slit in his skin, at that moment my whole started to shake as my eye sight focused on the blood dripping to the cold metal floor. My voice was quite, "uhh…hhh" I couldn't speak. Hunger hit me deep into my stomach. My hands unknowingly of my awareness reached for his wrist, and I licked my lips at the sight of the delicious blood. Just before I grabbed his wrist he pulled it away. I looked at him and he raised the knife in his other hand and in a swift movement he put it under my chin. His voice was frighten this time and there was no way he could hide it. "She's a vampire. We don't have much time." I looked over as Amber arose and grabbed my shoulders and yanked me back down onto the table. "ouch" My voice cracked in fear also as Doctor rose pushed the knife onto my neck trying to cut into my flesh. My eyes closed and I swung my self up tossing amber over me crashing into doctor rose bringing them to the floor. I jumped from the table and started to run out with the purple cloth in my arms. But just before I was about to leave I saw that amber was bleeding, jaw was cut. Must of been when she ran into Rose. My hunger took over again and I let my body take control as I rushed over and bit harshly into her neck. I felt her body twitch as I drained the blood from her. I didn't want to kill her but the blood tasted so sweet, so warm. I looked over as Rose as I still sucked the blood from Ambers body. I
didn't need to worry about Rose, he was knocked out -White as a ghost, maybe dead- I drank the last pint of blood and sat back up. "Oh my gosh" My voice was soothing to my ears. I just…killed her. But…. " I FEEL ALIVE." My voice also seemed strong, convincing. I decided to steal the clothes off Ambers back. -She was small so were about the same size- She didn't need them. I grabbed the purple cloth and ran out, not wanting to be killed if they…well he was to wake. I started to wonder the allies of the small town I new as Bladenboro. It wasn't much of a town, but every one new everyone and just to make sure I couldn't be recognized I started to examine my self in a puddle. My eyes changed to gold, and my skin was as pale as whipped cream. I didn't look white, white. Just more pale then my old skin color. I had my hair died black before I had died but now it looked more natural, -and my roots weren't showing- down to my shoulders in a wavy style . I started to walk again as I felt my muscles. I was stronger beyond my dreams. My skin was tougher and felt like stone…..much stronger then stone. But I realized I couldn't walk around Bladenboro with the same name, I already looked different enough. I just need a new name, to begin my new life! I think I'll get use to this.
