Chapter 3-waking up
I was just waking up; I opened my eyes and looked around. Where was I? I sat up, and I was in a foreign bed, with foreign pillows and sheets. Why wasn't I in my room? I mean I had the strangest dream, I met the boy from school, his name was Vlad and he was a vampire, and he almost killed me. All of a sudden, there were footsteps and voices coming from downstairs. 3 if I'm not mistaken. I strained to listen to what they were saying.
"Vladimir, why did you request my presence at such an hour?" The one man had said.
"Vlad here has a small problem." A womans voice had said as the footsteps grew closer.
"Aunt Nelly, you stay back here, Uncle Otis and I will go and figure out what the problem is." Vlad had said. Was last night really just a bad dream? I looked back at my wrist, and saw that it had a bite mark. I saw a clock saying it was 5 am. 'Shit' I thought. I have school in 3 hours. I immediately felt lightheaded again so I put my head on the foreign pillow and waited for sleep to come back to me. That's when the door opened and I just rolled away from it.
"Vladimir… who is she?" The man known as Otis said. I didn't like being referred to as a 'she'. I had a name, which was Morticia.
"My names Morticia." I said weakly.
"Morticia, your awake?" Vlad said. He sounded worried.
"What happened?" Otis had asked, more me then Vlad. I sat up and rubbed my eyes from the blinding light.
"I don't know. Last night, after skipping school yesterday, something was leading me. It lead me to Vlad. I smelled blood, and Vlad figured out I was a vampire. Then I was trying to figure out if he was one or not, and since I forgot my wrist was bleeding, I cut my thumb on my fang and licked the blood. Before Vlad could answer my question, he bit my wrist, and it scared me, but then I passed out. Then I woke up here." I explained, and Vlad nodded to his uncle after I finished. I guess he was confirming whether or not what I said was true. After a long pause, Otis had finally spoke.
"While how are you feeling now? Otis asked me, trying to figure out what happened.
"I'm fine.. little lightheaded still… but other than that… ok."
Otis just nodded. "Have you been drinking blood lately?" I nodded no. "Vladimir, have your Aunt run up some blood for Morticia." Vlad nodded and ran downstairs. Otis sat on the edge of the bed. "Morticia… how did you get changed at such a young age? Do they keep touch with you to make sure you know the Elysian ways? Or no?"
"No they don't. They changed me when they attacked at my friend's party. They abandoned me, when I was in pain. After that I knew what had happened. After I made a fatal mistake, I knew what I had become." I told him. He looked at me with wondering curiosity. "The fatal mistake is what you want to know, I'm guessing. My parents just signed my papers for me to live on my own. It was that night, I finished packing. Once I did, that's when I was overpowered. That night… I killed my parents." I gripped onto the blanket and started crying. I was no better than the monster who changed me and killed my friends. That's when Vlad walked in.
"Here Mortricia. Drink, now." Vlad told me.I wiped my eyes and nodded.
"I'll be downstairs if you two need me, but for now, I think both of you should get ready for school, Vladimir walk Mortricia home so she can change." Otis had said, Vlad nodded. I got up and drank the bag of blood that Vlad gave me, and left the room.
