Welcome to Vamperism

December 24th, 2041~

     It was the day before Christmas and mom was cleaning up after dinner. Dad was sitting in his chair smoking a cigar reading the paper.

    "These damn vampires are getting out of control." He scowled at the paper. We lived in a time where the vampires had taken over the human government in 2035. I was only a baby.

    "Calm down dear, Scarlett is still awake and doesn't need to hear about it." She said. He gave her a look but kept his mouth shut.

    "Scarlett why don't you go and brush your teeth and get ready for bed it's getting late. You don't want Santa to skip our house if you're still up do you?" She asked sweetly.

    I smiled at her and rushed to the bathroom. I couldn't wait for Christmas the next morning. It was my favorite time of the year.

    I finished brushing my teeth and met my mother in my bedroom. She smiled at me. I loved her so much with her graying hair and vibrant blue eyes.

    "Ready for bed hon? You have a big day ahead of you tomorrow." She said. I nodded eagerly and jumped into bed.

    "Will you read me a story please? I'm too excited to sleep yet." I questioned. She chuckled at me but said yes. I raced to my bookshelf and picked out my favorite book. I made my mother read it to me every night. It was a book about a princess needing rescued from a tower by a prince.

    My mom was halfway through the book and I was starting to doze off. Just as I was almost asleep I heard a loud crash.

    "What the fuck?" I heard my father exclaim.

    "Stay here I'll be right back." My mother said nervously. I nodded a little fearful as I've never heard my dad speak in such a manner. So I watched as she left the room. I waited for her to come back but she never did. I heard her scream and more crashing sounds coming from downstairs. I jumped at the sound.

    "Mom?" I called for her. No. Response. It all of a sudden got very quiet. Then my door burst open almost coming off the hinges. I let out a scream as a tall scary man walked in. He looked at me sweetly. But even as a child I could tell it wasn't genuine.

    "Well aren't you a cutie." He said with an evil smirk. He was in my face in an instant. I let out a yelp as he moved so fast I couldn't keep up. He scooped me up in seconds and I started kicking and screaming. Calling for my mother but to no avail. The man carried me down the stairs as I thrashed against him. My little body not deterring him.

    "NO!! Let her go you leech!!" My mother cried. She was forced to the ground by another man. My father sat unconscious beside her. She had blood dripping from her neck, her hair a mess.

    "You're in no place to make commands here." The man sneered. "I just didn't want the little one to miss the show that's all." He chuckled darkly.

    "Why are you doing this." She cried helplessly. "Why my family? Why me? I don't even know you!" She yelled. The mans face changed. His eyes darkened and he flashed his fangs at her. Without warning I felt his teeth in my neck. I let out a blood curdling scream. The pain washed over my body in an instant. Fear clawing at my chest. I tried to get away, but it was useless.

    He finally released me. Dropping me to the floor as my eyes rolled. I felt dizzy, really dizzy. I didn't understand what was happening. Tears streamed down my cheeks. Neck searing in pain. I looked to my mother and she was fighting to get to me. I started to crawl to her when I was snatched up again.

    "Where do you think you're going?" He asked with a smirk on his face. My blood dripping from his lips. "You're going to watch, you'll feel my pain. You'll know my wrath." He said smiling. It wasn't a genuine smile. It was so evil.

    My eyes widened and I cried out more as my mom wailed. My father groaned next to her. Starting to come to. He looked to me, eyes widening.

    "You son of a bitch what have you done to my little girl!?" He yelled enraged. He went to get up and was thrown a punch to his face knocking him back down. All I could do was watch.

    The man looked to one of his men and gave him a nod. He grabbed my face and forced me to look at my mother and father. The other man reached down and grabbed my fathers throat. He sank his fangs into his neck and my dad let out a scream.

    "DADDY!!" I cried, struggling against the man. The other man kept going. Kept biting my fathers neck. He squirmed until he lost his fight.

    The man brought me closer for a better view of the scene before me. Before I knew it I heard a snap as the man ripped his fangs from my fathers neck and watched as my fathers head came off his body. His blood splattered across my face as I looked on in horror. My mother let out a vilifying scream.

    The man started stalking my mother next. She tried to get away but wasn't strong enough. He bit into her neck next and she let out another scream. She took one last glance at me with tears in her eyes.

    "Close your eyes baby. Don't watch. I love you ok, always remember that..." And with that the man plunged his hand deep in her chest, ripped her heart out, and threw it toward me. It landed with a splat at my feet. No longer beating. I let out a cry of despair as I looked to my mother and father. My mothers lifeless eyes fixated on me. Her once vibrant, beautiful, blue eyes. Once filled with warmth, now empty with nothing behind them.

    The man holding me loosened his grip, and I scrambled to my parents.

    "No, no, no. Mommy, daddy please, PLEASE get up. You can't leave me. It's Christmas tomorrow! You have to get up!" I pleaded. But I got no response.

    The man that was holding me walked up next to me and patted my back.

    "Merry Christmas Scarlett." He said like he didn't just murder my parents before my eyes. And with that he left. Left me alone as I cried over my mothers lifeless body.
