It's always me...

Part 2 -- When death comes knocking...

The operating theater. Scary place to be when your 13. So yeah... While they're cutting me open, let me introduce myself! Amity Christian is the name! As you probably know, Amelia is my best mate, Amelia Sanders, and we have been best friends for seven years. We both have jet black hair and skin as pale as snow. We constantly have red lipstick on which makes us look like twin Snow Whites! It's pretty cool because you always look pretty and I mean always. Oh, give me a minute, the doctors are arguing... "There is no way she is going to survive." They sound Russian... Cool! Another says, "Don't be like that Vladimir! We can do this!" Vladimir? What a name! I feel a slight pinch and then there is nothing but darkness. Suddenly, there is a bright light... Wait, is that me? The light is me!? "Yeah... She isn't going to survive..." I sit up, wait, ain't I meant to be sedated? Then how come I'm sat up staring at glow in the dark blood!? I stand up off the table, closing the gaping hole in my stomach with my hands and hold it closed. I stare at one of the surgeons. My hands fly upwards and blue lightening flies out and towards another surgeon who puts her hands up for protection but the lightening just go through her hands and she falls backwards. Dead. The third surgeon, the one who didn't talk, starts clapping. "What?" I ask angrily. "It is almost complete. You will be the one..." He says. I stand there buzzing with energy feeling on top of the world. "All there is to do, is die..." He replies calmly. My blood is boiling and I'm sweating like mad, "I cannot die! I am thirteen! In my youth! Supreme!" I shout.

"You can be all those things and more if you become one of us... You're already part of us... Look..." Stood there at the surgery Window is my mum. She looks calmly at me and nods. I hesitate before saying, "Fine! Kill me!" I brace for the final blow but the surgeon just laughs. I open my eyes as he grows, literally, into a giant bat. His eyes look into what's left of my soul and takes the humanity from it. I screamed as I'm yanked into the air. To die is to be reborn... And in my case this is true. "What will I become?" I shout over the howl of wind and thunder,"What will I be?" He smiles and flaps his menacing leather wings. "Vampire. You will become Queen of a legendary race my league... If you pick that road anyway..." Pondering my possibilities, I look at my mum who is smiling that smile she did when I got my first certificate. Pathetic I think. You should get more than a piece of paper to show you that you are great... Anyway, should I become 'Queen of Vampires' or do I just leave? My mind was whirling and all I could think about was...Amelia!
