Darkness, that's all I see. This fucked up world.
I feel lost, like always.

This year I'm - I glance to my new I D and paperwork-
I'm Beatrice Prior, Going to live with the Prior family in Chicago, Illinois.

Last two years I was Chapin Wright, quite the mess I made.
I'm in the car being shipped to my new foster home.

In my clan the two older vampires; Walter and Celia; a married twenty nine year old couple who own many houses (they are rich) where we all have our own room to keep our stuff. And usually we usually stay there as their foster kids but something happened and we went in foster care for fifteen years. But I always visit. This is my last foster home and then I'll move back with them. With the rest if the clan.

I hear things crash.
I stare at the window and see the rain crashing against the window.
I like the rain; it reminds me I'm still alive. That I could still possibly have a soul, that there may be a chance I'm still human.

I know I'm not, and I don't need some newspaper headlines and angry mobs telling me that. I know, I know it when I see the life roll out of my victim's eyes.
The same eyes I once did had 200 years ago. 241 years ago, on my 16th birthday,
At 12:00 pm at that very moment the life rolled out of my eyes and was transformed into this monster.

Flash back

It was 1790
He had this brown hair and puppy dog blue eyes. He had a white pearly smile and this Navy blue tux outfit that made him even more irresistible.

He was rich and could possibly have any eligible women, but that night he chose me. I was wearing the smallest corset and had my hair down and curly.
My navy blue and white embroidered silk dress, that belonged to my mother that she wore to her first ball in England.

His name was Black, Robert Black.

As soon as he turned around I looked at those blue eyes, they were like a trap. A trap that I fell right into. And for the next few days, we went out. It was like a dream and I couldn't control what I did. I thought I was in love but I was young and so naive.

After a week, it was my birthday and everything was perfect. But that night there was an attack on my family, my family is from England but we had moved to a colony in a small town for my father to be a tax collector. The town's people who were against the loyalists decided to take action and murder all the families who were like us.

My family had been in the lower section of my home, which is why they were so easily collected. I was in the attic at the moment and noticed I was locked in. In the small window I saw my family being dragged to the town square, which was in front on my home.

10:00

My mother had been begging to take her instead of my family. Especially when you are a family of 12, two parents, 5 daughters and 5 sons. Only I wasn't part of that crowd.

They hung my family and set them on fire along side to my best friends family and she included.
This whole time I was sobbing and yelling and crying, for than 5 families died that night.
When I finally opened the latch, I ran to the woods where Robert asked to meet me that night.

....
11:00

"Robert? Robert Please! Where are you?" I sobbed running blindly in to the woods

"Beatrice! I am here! Not to worry!! " He grabs me and comforts me. There was something different about him.

"Robert, I'm scared" I slowly look up to him.

"Oh Beatrice Quinzel! There's nothing to be worried about your *demonic voice* safe with me" he says

"AHHHHH" I scream.

His eyes black as coal. With his face traced with veins popping out with black blood coursing through them.

He fangs sharp, he jams them in my neck and I yell in pain.

He drains my blood slowly and pulls back.
"I always wondered how you would taste" he huffs
He continues to drain the rest of my blood till there nothing left.

"Hah " I slowly breathe.

He throws me on the ground and drags me to a lake.

"Stupid girl did you really believe I loved you! You're nothing but a worthless little girl who's scared of the world. It was nice knowing you."
He psychotically laughs.

He turns around leaving me half into the water and half on dry land.
"Oh and sorry for your lose" he laughs and slowly walks away.

As I watch him leave I turn my attention towards the lake.
The lake looks so beautiful, with the little waterfall and the moonlight reflection on the water.
The cute little rocks with perfect grass and moss.

I slowly breathe in and out and I smell the grass.
Nostalgia.

11:30

I take all of my strength and push myself in the water.
I float, and I slowly sink. I felt as if I was floating in the sky in the middle of nothing.

I close my eyes and breath. My last breath escaping my mouth and lungs its like I just let my soul and entity release.

12:00

Then I'm hit.
Everything is sucked in.

Its as everything becomes tens times stronger and I find myself floating on the top of the water. I stand up and walk away with these red gleaming eyes and a black aura surrounding by eyes. Veins pop out and my teeth, white with the sharp fangs. I was soaking wet in my tight gown.
My skin ten times whiter and all my features and senses are stronger and I was hungry and knew how to take care of that.
I fist my hands and heavily breath in and out.

"Wait till they get a load of me"

Reality

"Beatrice, well welcome to your new home honey!" the annoying preppy social worker tells me. She holds an umbrella. I forget it was raining. I open the car and we start to walk to my new home.
