Ok, I'm actually going to be honest in this... I am not what they think I am, I'm not one of them and I'm not likely to survive long enough to be one of them, but even though you may think that i am lucky and that i should be grateful to be free from the constant desire to devour and relive the quench of blood, it's not how you would think it would be, i am in constant threat and am struggling to keep above the depth of death. this is not some soppy story about a girl that is different and while she is in high school she finds love and runs away where she finds out who she really is, no this is 3002 for god sake and now, things are different.

i don't know why i am writing this but somewhere in this sick place of a world i believe that one day someone will find this after surviving this wretched curse and find out how it was... from the inside. I know for a fact that there are others like me somewhere hiding away, we are what the bloodsuckers call rebellious dinner. its been exactly 6 days and approximately 9 hours since the virus began to take over the once living citizens and was finally broadcasted as a global epidemic. i was sleeping and so i wasn't under threat. it was the blood moon and a virus being tested from the science biology lab broke out, it caused the humans blood to boil in such a way that the heart burnt but still remained in a subliminal state, I've been studying the disease for a while but my year 12 biology books don't cover much neither do my mythology studies, anyway whoever got bitten had a reaction to the "blood moon" and did not nessisarily die although now under the earths moon "Mars" the citizens die when being attacked which is just great for the rest of us, and so it leaves my chance of living to be very slim. just to clarify I wouldn't want to live to be one of them anyway. When i was younger i remember my father always teaching me to be strong on the outside because people take advantage of others but i think the only reason my father was hard on me was because he secretly wanted a son. My name would have been Arron, just so that you know I tend to go a bit off track... a lot. Im scared and cold, I wish I could turn the heat on but everyone knows now that it is a rookie mistake beacuse they can sense heat like a hunter senses its prey and I don't want to die, but i don't want to live like this either.

I know being an adult means I have to be independent but i never thought of it to be like this, I'm only 17 and being an adult isn't something you can just pick up or buy a book on, my father should be here instead of me. i don't know why he saved me... why me. ok so now in order to make his sacrifice worthy i must at least try to make somthing out of this and do whatever it takes to survive and the first thing to do is to find the others, or die trying... litteraly.
