Chapter 6

26th November 2010

Dear diary,

I saw her tonight at 9pm. I saw mum. I don't want to see her but I did. She was at the woods that I go to so I can clear my head. I yelled at her said I hate her and I do, she wasn't there when I need her the most, she turned her back on us and we pay not that she cares, she never has. This time was the same she turned away like she couldn't even look at me, but she hesitated slightly which worried. Why wouldn't she look at me? There was something red slowly running down her arm. It was blood. Was she...? No...Yes...maybe. I ran before I realised the answer.

She was a vampire. I think. That would explain why she didn't face me and the blood. I couldn't tell Ryan he would say I was imagining thing and that she has nothing round here anymore. But she does, I said that I hate her, but I still love because she is my mum, after all. What if she is a vampire auntie Val kill vampires, I don't know why she kills them because it the way of the food chain isn't it and if you ask me we are just as bad if not worse, we kill and eat animals that can't fight back, but the vampire kill and eat us, but we fight back. It's stupid, that we kill them for being top of the food chain, where pigs or chickens don't try and kill us. Auntie Val is trying to turn me and Ryan into slayers. I don't want to kill, she thinks I'm mad as I saw my dad die she thinks I should be hell bent on revenge, but I'm not. I saw him die and if anything it's opened my eyes to make me think, that kill is wrong. The vampires can't help it, they need to eat. Every around me thinks that vampires are bad, but that's not true they are exactly the same as us. They kill so they can eat and so do we. How is that fair vampire's get kill for eating, which is unfair, because we don't get killed for eating.

Mum came back, I thought that Karl and Sara had more of a chance of coming back but mum came back so maybe they will. The person I hate most can give me hope where no else can.
