~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I woke up I was lying on my bed in the dark. I felt like I hadn't moved for days, which could have been the case, for all I knew. I tried to stretch out the feeling but it only resulted in getting nauseous.

I sat up slowly, but I still became so dizzy that I had to close my eyes. I put my hand on my forehead and noticed that it was no longer warm from being human. My skin was cold, yet I wasn't feeling cold. That was when it hit me. I was actually a vampire now. There was no more waiting, no more dreading, and no more "accepting" that it would happen. It was who I was then and I had no choice but to embrace it.

I wondered what my parents would think when they found out that I actually changed and it wasn't all a dream. What if my friends knew what I was? Would they still love me? I knew none of those answers mattered because, well, I would never see any of them again anyway. In the back of my mind I had always left a little hope that I may see them some time in the future, but actually going through the change made me realize it would put them in danger.

I had no one anymore. I considered Aaron, the guy who had just kissed me, that I may have developed feelings for. But how could I when he was so mean! Of course he hadn't been mean since I was attacked, but he was obviously just pretending to be nice because of our situation. I'm the only company he has, so he's probably trying to pretend to enjoy it in hope he may actually start to. He could go back to school with people he had known forever, I had no one.

I started to cry and rolled onto my stomach to muffle the sound with my pillow. Aaron was fast asleep in his bed and I didn't need to get in another fight with him because I woke him up by sobbing.

When I was finally able to control myself and stop crying, I lifted my head from the pillow and took a deep breath through my nose. I was shocked by a sweet smell coming from the left side of the room. It was the best scent I had ever had the pleasure to smell. It lured me in and I couldn't help but to want to be closer to it.

I stood up, ignoring the nausea and dizziness, and closed my eyes. I sniffed the air and let my nose alone guide me to my target. I couldn't help but smile as I took quick steps forward.

I was so close to the smell it was almost mesmerizing. I quickened my pace even more. In my hastened, blind run, I tripped over a night stand. I stubbed my toe and flew through the air. My eyes popped open and I realized I was falling towards Aaron and no matter how hard I tried to stop, it was too late.

I flopped forward, almost in slow motion, and landed right smack on top of Aaron. At the same time I was hit by a sensory overload of the smell I was searching for.

Aaron jolted awake as I began to cough and sneeze from the lack of oxygen and the intense smells clogging my nose. He just lied there waiting for me to finish, glaring at me the whole time. I was lying right on top of him, and I wasn't so sure he was too happy about it.

"I'm sorry!" I gasped, pushing myself away from him and to the end of his bed, where I decided to awkwardly sit and smell the air. He sat up and continued to glare at me so much I could feel a hole burning right through my skull.

"If you didn't know already, I don't like rude awakenings," he growled at me sharply. I shied away from him, trying not to make eye contact. I felt my heart tear a bit; thinking our time of getting along was now over. To comfort myself I decided to just sit there and breathe through my nose so I could smell whatever that was. The scent was like a drug, and I was definitely addicted. "Oh, I get it. Why talk when you can hyperventilate?"

I looked up at him and was surprised to see a slight smile on his face. It loosened me up a bit and I was actually able to put words together.

"I'm really sorry," I started. I tried to think about how to make myself sound a little less weird but ended up not being able to. "I truly am, I was just... following this smell." I laughed a few times at how idiotic I sounded.

"What was the smell?" he asked curiously.

"I don't know it was weird and it came from over here," I said leaving out most of the details.

"That is weird," he said smirking. I knew he wasn't telling me something but I didn't want to ask. I gave him a confused face instead and he answered it by laughing and saying, "Just go back to bed. We can talk in the morning, I'm tired."

I got up and slowly walked over to my bed, sniffing the air the whole way. With each step I took the smell faded ever so slightly.

When I finally got to my bed I climbed in slowly, lying so I was facing Aaron's side of the room. That was when I noticed he was still sitting up in bed.

"I thought you were tired?" I said sarcastically. Aaron didn't answer of course he just huffed and lied down in his usual position, facing me. I almost couldn't fall asleep because of my darn curiosity but eventually the sweet smell dulled my senses enough for me to.
