I was running through the twisting halls. The walls curved at the end. As if they were preparing to swallow me whole. I could hear the clatter of the pans and thuds of the vampire fighting my eldest sister. I clung to the limp bunny plushy in my hands to my chest. The door was swung wide open, revealing the crescent moon and the snow covered pine trees. As I rushed out the house the scent of blood and pine sap slapped my face. The snow was a bright cherry red color around the house.

Rushing around I tripped and flung to the ground. The snow engulfing my body. Suddenly a cold hand grabbed my throat. I squealed in fear. In front of me was a pale blue face. His mouth gapping open revealing long sharp canine teeth. My arms flared up as I struggled underneath the vampire. His bloodshot eyes focused on mine. He slammed my head to the ground as he tried to rip my skin.

I could see my bunny plushie far off in the distance. I was panting and crying. Hot tears streaming down my face. The vampire was laughing. My older sister, Abigail by a couple years slammed into the vampire.

She toppled over him and fell to the ground. I tried to push myself up but my elbow had a huge gash along it. The vampire tried to grab my arm but Abigail jumped onto his back. Screams shot through my ears. I turned my head to see the old house. Fear prevented me from even thinking about moving. Abigail was screaming at me to run away from behind though. Yet my body refused to even budge.

As I turned to meet her eyes I saw her golden skin flying across the snow covered land. The vampire slammed his arm into my back. My breath was knocked right out of me as I crumpled to the ground. I looked up at the monster that loomed over me. My siblings sometimes picked on me that I was a monster. But I wasn't anything like this. 

Was I really such a monster? Deep down I had always thought of me as one. Like the wolf from little red riding hood. A scary predator looking to hurt the humans. But as I looked up at the horrific nature of the vampire I realized me and him were nothing alike. This whole time I had been nothing more than some human. Only my blood being monstrous. But the being in front of me was a true predator.

"Why..." I softly sobbed to myself. The vampire just rolled his eyes. Blood dripping from him. His eyes gleamed with distaste as if disgusted such a weak thing could exist. But how could he blame me? I am nothing more than a mere child. How in the nine realms was I ever supposed to be strong as a child? Was that another thing that set me apart from other monsters?

"I'm doing you a favor. The real world is much scarier. Little prey." His voice echoed through my ears. The mere malice of it all was so much to bare. My mind couldn't even rap around the concept of such beings of immense hatred and coldness. It was as if he had no heart. Killing everyone I loved and held dear to me. 

My shoulder were  grabbed and as he went to slit my throat open a bullet sliced through the air and the vampires head. The membrane of his brain splattering onto my face and the snow. The vampires words echoed in my head. "Prey". My body crippled to the ground as the vampire went lifeless. I let out a loud shriek. I couldn't grasp anything anymore. My body shuck and trembled violently as I tried to quickly get all the blood and other disgusting things off of me. My pupils mere slits as I felt my oxygen depleting. It still felt like I was being strangled. No air coming in or out of my throat anymore. 

A man I hadn't seen before was running over to me and the vampire. Abigail was close behind sobbing with our very young sister behind. Odette. She was 4. Her big eyes round and crying. What did everyone else feel? Did they resent me? Did they consider me no better than that monster? Where all vampires even like this?!?! I tried to scream more. To make sense of it all. But as I went to only a wheeze of air was let out. 

I wasn't breathing. I started to crawl around searching for my bunny plushie. "Why must I be so weak if I'm a monster." I thought to myself. My eyes wild. The man grabbed me and pushed my to my sisters. Abigail quickly grabbed me and held my emotionless body down. I could no longer wield my body into moving. Not when my world had shattered within a brief moment. 

"Your families dead." He didn't even try to sugarcoat it. Just this morning everything was normal. Mother even said we would go into town tomorrow and buy me a pretty new dress since school would start again soon. I had thought of that dress all day long. I'd imagined it as a shiny yellow sundress that would reach down to my calves and have puffy sleeves. Now all I could think about was my blood stained bunny plushie and that vampire. He plagued my mind. His words stained like raspberries on a white piece of cloth.

The man was explaining about what would happen to us now. It's hard to pay attention though when your whole family practically just died. My vision started to blur and I let tears fall down my cheeks. I learned latter on that the man wasn't taking us in. He was selling us of to a circus. They were the only people that would take us in. No orphanage wanted three girls all under ten who were attacked by vampires. And then Abigail made me swore to never tell a single soul I was a monster. But in my eyes already I was no better than the prey humans were.
