You jolt out of bed to the sounds of your blaring alarm. Struggling to hit snooze as the loud noises pierce your ear drums almost making you go def.
I feel the strain of my muscles as I struggle to comprehend where I am. I feel as if I am in someone's else's body.
I usually don't dream, but last night it felt as if I was really awake and everything was real. I'm glad it wasn't.
You hear footsteps trailing to your room as they get louder and louder with each step.
A women with long brunette locks and flawless skin walks in.
"You look like shit, don't tell me you were out drinking again"
Every night, for hours and hours on end, constant dreams and thoughts. The sense of deja vu floods your mind everytime you close your eyes. Each time you blink, just a quick flash that brings you back to your nightmares.

Your family isn't the most functional. Especially your brother.

You and your brother never had the best relationship. He would always tease you about how you looked, and would constantly terrorize you. He had so much anger inside of him, you wondered if it was natural. He beat every inch of confidence, and emotion you had. Until you were just a switch that could be turned off at any moment. This feeling brought back many memories all at once. Flooding your mind with tears, and all the suppressed anger you've had bottled up for all those years.
All those sleepless nights, tossing and turning. The fear that your brother is always going to be a threat. "He's in jail, he can't hurt me. I'm safe..... right?" "I don't like talking about him much or of what happened. I try not to dwell on the past. He was punished for his crimes"

I bet your asking, what did he do that was so bad. Oh just you wait. We will get to that.

Your ex Stefan. Now he was the real douche. What is it with boys and anger issues. Cause he had it the worst. He's a goodie two shoes one minute, then the next he's yelling and screaming at you. The only man in your life that you trust, is your dad.

You haven't heard from him in awhile. Last time you saw him he was leaving your front door off to a new job in LA somewhere. That was 5 years ago. You wonder what he's doing now. Is he an artist? Maybe even a director. Your dad  always had big dreams. Even though he was secretive most of the time, and would constantly be yelling on the phone. Sometimes you couldn't even understand the language that was coming out of his mouth. But you ignored it.

Emotional problems seem to run in the family. Your the one who keeps them bottled up tight, when everyone else just lets out those pesky emotions through anger and rage, and sometimes just plain sadness. You put all your emotions away, until the night.

Sometimes this pain gives you dreams. And not the good kind. Nightmares, they call them. Which sounds very unpleasant. These "dreams" would consist of feeling like you were being choked, or stabbed. Just getting the feeling of someone trying to get rid of you like your brother got rid of your mom.

As you drift asleep, the deepest sleep you have ever been in. You hear a voice.... Yelling your name.

Y/N! Time to get up!

A few hours later you are woken up, or at least you think your awake. This dream doesn't feel like a dream this time. You are starting to wonder where you are, "is this real"? Your getting a sense of deja vu. It's creeping right behind you, and there is something you need to say but can't think of it. You decide to get up and leave your room, but before you can you see a shadowy figure immerse in the corner of your room. It has a dark, slender form. It's red eyes are like fire piercing your skin, you can't help but feel drawn, compelled. To these mysterious and beautiful eyes. "Ok.. I'm definitely in a dream". The "person" speaks. He has a low, and very attractive voice. When he opens his mouth to speak, you notice two white teeth that are just peeking there way out.
"Step into the moonlight"
As he steps towards the very big window, brightly shining with a beautiful crescent shaped moon. His skin starts to give off a glimmer of light, almost like he is sparkling.

You start to see that those teeth, are in fact very sharp.
"Is this some kind of prank?" You start to remember when your brother would prank you. He had all the tricks up his sleeve. Was it him? Is he the mysterious figure in your room?
"Andrew... is t-t-that y-you? Or is it your ex, who has once come back to fuck up your life. S-Stefan? If that's you I swear to god I will kill you!
You can't seem to tell since it is so dark. You can only see the small bits of his perfectly curved face just glistening in the moonlight.

This isn't someone you know, so who could it be?

The mysterious man speaks once again, but what he has to say will shake you to your core.

Uhhhhh, yesssss?
H-how do you know him.

??? - He's a vampire
