My Vampire

Chapter 1

We are in Minnesota in the time-line 24/8/5098. I am a normal girl who gets bullied every day by some random idiots. I don't even care who bullies me or why he is doing that. All people in my age thinks that bullying someone is a game or something. However, I love being hated by everyone because I have my own private. Every friend gives so many advices and this is freaking spastic! One day, I went to school (unfortunately) and everyone was making fun of me again. I ignored them, they were a waste of time.

???: Go to your mummy, freak!

I never answered. I never told them to shut up. I was enjoying it. Other girls now would cry but I am not this type. Finally, school finished for Christmas holidays. My teachers never wish me "Happy holidays" like the others and I don't know the reason. When I go home I always pass out of a house that it is said to be haunted. I don't believe in stories that parents say to their kids. But, I was feeling something strange when I was walking out of this place. I was scared. I never scared anything except this very old house. For example: One Sunday my mum saw a big snake in the kitchen and she started screaming. Then dad came but he was more scared than mum. I heard these noises from the kitchen and I was really annoyed so I took a knife and I killed it with only one move. My parents looked at me with their mouths opened. But this house was making me sick of fear. During the holidays we visited my grandparents. They are taking care of someone who is my cold cousin. He is the only cousin  I have, his name is Leo and he is 4 years older than me. He has short and messy black hair and big and deep blue eyes like Pacific which are unusual for a human to have these colours. I have never talked to him and I don't know what his voice sounds like. Very scarcely I hear him talking with my mum. He is very mysterious. He is also getting bullied in his work, not school. He finished college last year. When we arrived to my grandparents' house Leo greeted my parents apart from me with no smile in his mouth. He is absolutely my type. My mum and dad do something weird when they see him. They cry and I don't know the reason and it seems neither Leo understands why. I have asked my parents several times but they refuse to tell me. When our grandparents welcomed us they had already prepared so many foods. I helped my grandma to bring a special red wine. But while I was holding it, its smell wasn't like a normal wine. Maybe that's why she called it "special". I put it on the table and I was going to sit next by my mum. She didn't let me to sit with her.

Jennie: Mum, why don't you let me sit next to you?

Mum: Today you will sit next to your beloved cousin.

Jennie: My beloved what?!

Then, Leo looked at me with a murderous look.

Mum: Don't you hear what I am saying Jennie?, mum said angrily.

Jennie: I unfortunately hear. Fine!

I had no other choice so I sat next to my "beloved" and cold cousin. I didn't look at him during the dinner until I was about to get a fork when he wrapped it faster than me. He really got into my nerves. I looked at him with a scary look that I do it to my bullies when I am tired and I don't want to get bullied for a while. They always run away like I am a monster and I enjoy it. But it didn't work when I did it to my cousin. So I stood up and I said to everyone "night". After that, my mum's voice stopped me.

Mum: Oh Jennie, before you go to sleep, I have to tell you that you are going to sleep with Leo tonight. Grandpa wants to sleep alone and grandma doesn't know where to sleep so, she will stay at your bedroom this night.

Me and Leo looked mum shocked. As if! I had to take my revenge!

Jennie: Mum you are not gonna tell me what to do! I will sleep in my bed!, I said loudly.

Mum: SHUT UP! I AM THE BOSS HERE, YOU WILL GO SLEEP WITH YOUR COUSIN!, said and screamed at the same time.

Mum: And for your punishment you will sleep with him until the holidays stop!

I saw Leo looking at my mum with this murderous face again.

Leo: Auntie, I will sleep with her only for one night! I am not gonna sleep with her all the Christmas.

Mum: You are both punished for talking back to me!

Leo: But this is how a conversation works!

Mum: GO AND SLEEP YOU FREAKING VAMPIRES!

Then, Leo stood up and left. She called us vampires? What was that? After saying this, my mum covered her mouth with her hands and said calmly to me to go and sleep wherever I want. Phew! Thank god! But the word "vampire" what stands for? Maybe she was too angry that she forgot to call us "monsters". I went to my bed and slept.

In the middle of the night, I felt some hands around my neck pushing it. I couldn't breath. I couldn't scream or make any sound. I opened my eyes and I saw two red eyes above me. I tried to make a move but I wasn't able. I was almost dead when someone entered the room and took this scary thing from me. I couldn't see anything. Then I switched up the lights and no one was there. Was I dreaming? I went to check if everyone was okay. But I hesitated to enter my cousin's room. I finally entered and I saw him sleeping. Then I calmed down. I was about to leave when I saw a scar on his face that he hadn't before. I went closer to him but then he opened his eyes.
