Sarah and I ran through the forest. I was a thousand times faster than I was before. Sarah was still a little faster, but when I see her run, she looked like she was running like a normal person. She no longer looked like a blur to my eyes.

My enhanced senses helped me to not run into anything. Like I moved out of the way of trees from afar and I leaped over giant rocks and logs.

Sarah, who was running in front of me, looked back at me and smiled. I smiled back as we ran.

As I ran a thousand miles per minute, I looked at everything in the woods. It was different. It was like an enchanting, beautiful projection screen of a nature video.

I felt and heard leaf fall slowly off a branch and hit the ground. CRASH! I could also hear a monarch butterfly's wings flutter. WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! Also, I was able to see a mother bird feeds worms to her baby bird. It was disgusting, but fascinating. This was more than amazing.

For eighteen years, I've been nothing but normal. Now I know that I wasn't made for nothing. It was my chance to shine. I was finally who I was meant to be: a vampire.

I followed Sarah. She then jumped over a waterfall. I jumped over it as well.

It felt wonderful as I saw a good view of Whitechapel from above. The warm wind flew through me. Finally, I landed on my feet.

Hunting was going to be difficult for me. But I needed to be satisfied. I don't want to come back to the house with no food and attack Grandma and Benny. They were the closest humans to us.

"Impressive," said Sarah. "Truly amazed."

"Really?" I responded with.

"Yeah. Now let's see if you can hunt."

I took a sniff into the air. A scent caught my attention. It wasn't human. It was deer.

"Deer," I mumbled.

"Perfect." said Sarah.

Sarah and I were crouched down on top of a rock. We were gazing ravishingly at the male deer. It was so delicate. So peaceful. Its scent and blood that flowed through him made my mouth water. I licked my lips as I stared at the animal.

"Okay, Ethan," whispered Sarah. "Just wait for it. You gotta let him come to you."

"All right," I responded.

I waited for the deer to come a little closer towards us.

The deer was eating berries and standing there. I know I had to wait but my throat was on fire.

Moments later, a large growl made me loose my concentration. I looked to my right and a grizzly bear was there. I looked back at the deer. It was fixing to run away.

Without thinking, I lunged at the deer. "Ethan!" yelled Sarah.

My arms locked around the deer and I tackled it to the ground. Once my back hit the ground, my arms unlocked. The deer escaped and ran off.

I was lying on my back, then rolled onto my knees in a second. I stared furiously at the grizzly bear. My throat was burning more. That bear made me loose the deer.

"You're my food now!" I growled at the bear.

Then, I lunged at the bear. As I fell to the ground, I dragged the animal down with me. I pinned it down on it's back, then I bit his neck.

Its blood was so delicious and satisfying. I kept sucking and sucking the blood out until it was all gone. The bear stopped moving. It was still and dead.

I got up and Sarah stood up on her feet on the rock. I looked down at my clothes. They were a little shabby and covered in blood. I don't mostly see Sarah look like this when she hunts.

"I did bad, didn't I?" I asked Sarah.

"No," she answered. "A little messy, but you did good."

Suddenly, an unknown scent went up my nose. I tried to ignore it, but the scent was so mouthwatering and unable to resist. It was human blood.

I ran, searching for where the human blood could possibly be coming from. The blood was coming from the top of the mountain.

There was a man and a woman. Possibly a couple. The woman had just cut her knee when she slid on the rocks.

I found myself climbing up mountains. They both don't stand a chance against me. I'm a fledgling vampire now. Nothing's gonna stop me from gettin—

"Ethan!" A female voice screamed.

I stopped at a ledge and found the voice to belong to Sarah.

"Don't do this, Ethan," said Sarah.

"I want blood!" I snarled. "I want it NOW!"

"Ethan, please. I know you can do this. Snap out of it!"

I blinked my eyes and shook my head. What just happened? What was I doing up here?

I looked up and saw the woman bleeding while the man cleaning the blood off with a jacket.

That's what was happening. I almost lost my control. I held my breathe in and said, "I gotta get out of here!"

I jumped off the cliff and ran far enough away from the couple. Sarah followed me. When we stopped, I said, "Sarah, I'm so sorry. I lost it."

"I can't believe you did that," she said.

"That?" I was confused here.

"You walked away…from human blood…and you're a fledgling."

"Well, we don't feed on humans."

"You're even better than I expected, Ethan."

"Thanks, babe."

"Come on, love. Everyone's waiting for you."

As we walked back to the house, I held my breath. It was unpainful. Sarah and I were finally at the doorstep.

"This is it," I murmured.

"Don't worry," said Sarah. "Everything will be fine."

"Hopefully."

Sarah opened the door and let me in. We walked through the hallway. Everyone was in the living room.

Erica was sitting on the recliner. Rory was standing behind her and his hand was laying on Erica's shoulder. Grandma and Benny were sitting on the big couch.

I could hear Benny's heart beat faster as I walked closer towards him and Grandma.

"Hey, guys," I said.

"We see you just had your first hunt, Ethan," said Erica. "Let me guess…grizzly bear?"

"Correct."

"Awesome."

"Finally you're one of us now," said Rory. "Now I'm not the not dude in our coven."

"You guys should've seen Ethan hunting," said Sarah. "He walked away from human blood."

"Walked away?" asked Grandma.

"From human blood?" asked Benny.

Sarah nodded. "He almost lost his control when some hiker had a bleeding leg until I calmed him down. After that, he ran away from them."

"T-That's amazing," said Rory.

"Different species," said Benny, "but still the same Ethan we love."

"It's so strange," said Grandma. "Ethan, it's almost like you were made for all of this. You were born to be a vampire."

"Just wait when the Vampire Council visits us," smirked Erica.

"Visit us?" I asked. "Why would they visit us?"

"When a fledgling is created, they wish to see them three months after their transformation to see if they hold any power useful for the Council."

"Oh, great." A thought came to my head. "One question. When can I be a full-fledged vampire?"

Everybody's jaw dropped and their eyes widen. What was wrong with asking them about that?

"That depends," said Rory.

"On what?" I asked.

"Well, in order to get into the Whitechapel coven, Ethan, you must compete to get our approval to be in our coven."

"Seriously?" I asked.

"We made that up," said Sarah. "We felt that we should be more mature since we're one of the youngest covens."

"Okay." I said. "What will I have to do?"

"A lot of obstacles in your way." said Benny. "Things that a vampire can do. Strength, fighting, speed, and other things."

"All right," I said. "I'll do it."

"Excellent," said Erica. "We start tomorrow. 9 AM sharp."
