Second chapter. I really need to get a life I write way to much, and read for that matter. Please read and review and follow and other stuff. Tell me if you like it and have a look at my other fanfic if you like this.


(Vlad's P.O.V)

When I finally wake up I don't know how long I've been unconscious but all I know is that all my pain is gone and I never want to feel it again.

My first thought is that but the second is that I'm a vampire!

I stand up so quickly that it makes me dizzy. I hadn't meant to do that! I turn around on the spot and this time when I look in the mirror I see nothing, I have no reflection now.

Power courses through me sending burst of energy through my joints. I lower my fangs knowing that the black eyes come with them even though I can't see them I can vaguely feel the sensation of the changing colour. My hand moves up to my mouth and I gently trace my teeth then pull away and notice that my fingers now shine bright with red. My teeth had cut them with out meaning to! What would happen if I tried to hurt something or someone?

I'm different, I can feel that. I can feel a black ness in me that was never there before and I know its evil. I also know it has the potential to take over me. I push the feeling of it down, trying to shut it out.

I have to much power to show it to my family and spectators so I know my safest bet is to keep my full power a secret for as long as I can. I sigh at my already plotting mind but somehow not being able to feel as guilty as I normally would.

I hand comb my new and improved cropped hair and stand to my full height, making sure I'm not slouching. I also straighten my clothes out that are ones the mirror guy wore. I grin, happy that I got the clothes I want. In the back of my mind I vaguely think these are things I have never done before. Ignoring my own thoughts I click my fingers like my dad and I'm happy to find the door opens for me. As I walk out the door I'm greeted by cheers and pats on the back.

I smile at them all but it doesn't feel as natural as before. Like it's not something i should be doing.

"Are you ok my son?" The voice shocks me and makes me spin on the spot un humanly quickly and I have to remind myself I'm not a human at all now.

"Yes dad, it was easy." I sort myself out quickly and find it easy. I guess a vampires mind is easier to sort through and has a fast thought process. I never knew that. It must be the reason dad's emotions can change so quickly.

I feel like I have to suffer through the party now, craving to move. Before I would have enjoyed it but everything's changed so much.

Finally, when they all go after I say my thank yous dad calls me to him.

"Ready for your present?" I've completely forgot about it but it makes me happy. I nod at him vigorously and he chuckles. Ingrid stands by my side.

"Your still here?" I question her as dad walks out the room to get Renfield.

"Yes. Gramma and dad discussed it while you were 'changing' grandma is getting fed up of my cheekiness apparently so dads agreed to keep me under the premise he doesn't actually have to look after me." She rolls her eyes and it's my turn to chuckle. How much I may sometimes despise my sister, sometimes there's moments when I feel like we are little kids again and she's not jealous of my relationship with dad. When we were equal.

"Vlad?" She sounds un sure and quiet. That makes me look at her.

"Yeah?"

"I wasn't sure what you would be like after the change but you seem like yourself which is honestly incredible." My eyes widen, she's never given me a real compliment before. If only she knew though, I don't feel like my self. I feel like I'm putting on a charade. "I want you to have this." She pulls something out of her red coat jacket then dangles it from her fingers.

I stare at the necklace in oar. A silver chunky link chain with a beautiful black bat dangling from it encrusted with jewels for the eyes that I know to be called Melanite it is a black variety of the rare andradite garnet. It is sometimes known as titanian andradite. It reflects colour everywhere when it spins on the chain.

"Is that the..." I reach my fingers out and she releases it into my hand.

"The family emblem? Yes."

"Ingrid I don't know what to say." I know these are expensive and I'd never expect such a thing from my hateful sister. A present like this means family.

"Don't mention it little brother. Really, I mean it, don't." I nod knowing what it means, that no one can know she gave it me. She doesn't want to ruin her reputation.

I hear a bang and put the necklace in my pocket quickly. I turn my head to the side and see dad walk back through the door, Renfield following close behind him bringing a massive present in as big as the door, wrapped in blue paper with a red bow. I smile already knowing what it is from the shape.

I tear the paper off with incredible strength and it quickly rips and falls. Normally the way I pulled it would only tear a small piece of the paper off. I blink not getting how I just did that.

"Can you put it upstairs in my room Renfield." I say it in a daze but he can still tell its a comand and not really a question.

"Yes of course master Vlad." I used to hate it when he called me that but now it kind of fills me with power.

I say thank you to dad obviously. It's the best present I have ever received from him and I know he can tell I'm great full.

"The suns started to rise and you have had a long day. Go enjoy your present Vlad." He tell me and I hug him quickly even though I feel like a vampire should never do that. It's not proper.

I start to walk up the stairs and then realise I don't need too. I flit upstairs and to my door. Adrenalin bursts through me. I can finally start using my powers. I feel more alive after that even though the sun is getting higher.

I flit around the room and bring out all of my bright or to baggy clothes and throw them in the middle of the floor. I lift my hand up and instantly a fire ball lays there. i throw it into the pile and it comes a light. Burning them straight away.

Some of the adrenalin escapes from me and I wonder over to my present. My new coffin. My old one was brown and plain and not me at all. I guess that's probably been disposed of already. The new one that stands broad and proud in its wake is magnificent. It's made of metal instead of wood and unlike any I have ever seen. There are two lids clasped together in the middle.

I click my fingers and this time the clasps of the coffin come apart with a clang and the two doors slowly open revealing to me beautiful black velvet, I climb in and lie down and find that its immensely more comfortable. Instantly I fall asleep dreaming of what happened in the mirror room. It's not a nightmare.


I awake to screams and shouts from Ingrid and dad and even though I hear it from here with my new and drastically improved hearing I go to investigate. Flitting out of bed I open the door.

Every time I'm nice to someone it feels odd and I don't feel like I'm doing something good when I am. I slightly distaste the feeling it gives me and for some reason I'm not feeling disgusted or repulsed in myself.

I'm not sure who I really am any more but I want to be my self. It just doesn't feel complete yet as cheesy as that sounds.

"Vlad is being a great vampire!" My dad catawalls, defending me. When I hear what he says it makes me instantly alert and I peer into the room when I get to the bottom of the stairs.

They stand on either side of the table in the dining room pointing fingers at each other.

"No he's still being a wimp, I saw no difference in him apart from his appearance. He didn't even show his fangs when he came out of the mirror room. If it was me i'd have wanted all those nosy idiots out of my house!"

What she says brings anger up in me. Yes I did want them gone but the reason there's no difference in me that an outsider can see is because I'm trying to stop my self from being a monster.

I flit in front of them, landing in the middle of the dining room table crouched in a defensive percission, looking ready to pounce but I still don't lower my fangs.

They both jump at the sight of me being here. Obviously they were to occupied to even realise I was any where by them. I notice Ingrid looks guilty for a second but then she makes her self look innocent. I used to fall for it but not now.

"Vlad I'm sorry." She sounds it too and even though I know she thinks she's putting on an act there is so some where in side her where she does actually feel it.

"Don't even try it Ingrid." I glare at her.

Instead if replying again she smirks and looks at dad. "See. Still no fangs."

I see the doubt in dad's eyes before he even says anything to me. "Son are you embarrassed by them? Are they too short?"

It's the last straw. I'm a vampire now. 'The chosen one.' If I ever want the vampires to believe in their leader then I cannot be thought of as weak!

I duck my head and dad sighs, he must think that means that they are right but I lift it a second later letting them see my new face covering my features.

I've known since I saw it in the mirror that i can have the scariest face I've ever seen when I want to and the face I show let's my family see the black pools that my eyes are and my teeth that scream killer at people.

They both step back, completely scared and happy with the response my mouth curves up at the corner in a cocky smile.

"What do you think 'daddy'? Are they too short?" even my voice is predatory, a growling evilness.

"Nnnoo, I don't understand...?" He stutters.

"What do you not understand? How they are bigger than everyone else's? I know they are.

I realise Ingrid hasn't spoken and I turn to her but she steps back again not liking my attention being on her.

"What's wrong Ingrid? Scared?" I grin crookedly.

"Vlad, your... strong."

I laugh, of course I am. I'm stronger than all other vampires. Not like she can learn that yet.

I haven't been able to try out my powers properly but I still feel like I know what I can do by the power that races through my veins.

I jump down from the table wanting to leave them stunned but dad calls me back to stop me.

"Vlad. We need to talk about your first bite." I'm not expecting it and my fangs instantly go back to normal. Before the transformation I'd though about it a lot and I have not thought about it again. I'd decided what I was going to do and I still have to do it. It's the right thing to do.

I turn finally after composing myself. "No dad, I will not bite any one. I'm going to drink soy blood and that's all."

Ingrid snickers behind me making me instantly tense. "Looks like your still soft in side though Vlad. It's just your out side that looks like a man. In side your still my ickle brother who doesn't have any bite in him.

I flash my fangs at her once again but I don't have the resolve to stay so I flit to my room and stride in but as soon as I do I have to sit down at the end of the bed. All my strength has gone and I really do feel weak. I don't know what's wrong with me but the power that had ignited has vanished and just left a burning ember.

I don't know what happened to me down there. I let some of the black ness I pushed down come up and bend what I wanted. I hate to know that I enjoyed every second of it. Being so filled with a power I've never felt before.

My head pricks up when a knock sounds at the door.

"Vlad? Can I come in?" It's dad again and I sigh but click my fingers and the door weakly opens but I feel glad it does it at all.

I try to make my self sit up but I know it's no use and he comes to kneel beside me.

"What do you want dad?"

"You need blood."

"I told you I'm not!"

He lifts up a bottle he holds in his hands and shows it me. "It's soy blood Vlad. I know you ordered it a few weeks ago so..." My hands fling up so quick and hold on to the neck of the bottle and pull it out of his hands.

I waste no time in unscrewing the lid and putting it to my lips. The blood is thick and cold as I take a sip of it then pull away quickly and nearly gag. It was horrible, a disgusting taste. I don't get it. Other vampires especially dad love blood.

Dad chuckles and I look up at him questioningly. "Doesn't taste nice?" I shake my head and he nods. "I drink real blood full of human things like there food, it tastes amazing and every type has a different taste. Soy blood on the other hand is full of fake vitamins and minerals that you need. No added taste to make it better."

I feel happy that it's not just me. "Why don't they..."

"What? Give it taste? Because vampires consider people who drink it to be worthless." He interrupts.

"Oh." Is all I say and he gets up and walks to the door.

"Drink up Vladdy." He opens the door then turns his head to look at me. "By the way real blood would give you more energy for a longer time."

"Dad..." I shake my head and he smiles.

"I'm just giving you a fact Vlad the rest is up to you." That's all the information he gives me before closing the door with a loud bang like every time he walks out the room.

I swig back the bottle feeling like a drunk man in the street and guzzle down the rest of the red liquid that I don't really want to call blood. This time I don't taste it and I just take it down. When I finish I place the bottle to the side and slowly the effect starts to come to me.

I start to feel my energy come back and I'm able to get up and move about. Wanting to move again I take a walk around the castle, walking instead of flitting to keep some of the energy I'm afraid to lose again.

The place I end up? Dad's room asking where the soy blood is. How much I distaste it I want more. I crave to know what real blood taste like but I know that even though it will give me more power it doesn't give me the right to take blood from a person and kill them.

I just don't know how long I'll be thinking that for.
