Around 5 a.m., I woke up again. I have been waking up from these awful nightmares about killing my family even though we are all vampires. I did scream when I awakened. My sister who is older than me came in. "Again Violet?" she asked. I nodded with a frown. She came over and gave me one of my sleep pills. "Last one, time to call for a refill sis" she smirked. I rolled my eyes and swallowed the pill with my water. She left my room and turned out my light. I curled back up in my bed hoping to fall back asleep but it took me another half hour before falling asleep again. 


After falling back to sleep, I did not awakened again until 10 a.m. because it was the weekend. I got up and checked my phone. It was a Sunday that means I have no plans. Tomorrow was school so I was going to have a lazy day today. My parents had a dinner date they planned so my sister and I was on our own for dinner. She invited her boyfriend over so she was going to be distracted with him. I just hid in my room. I texted my best friend to see what she was up to today. Of course she had church and then tennis games at the country club. I guess I will be seeing her tomorrow. We never hang out anymore outside of school since she is so busy. I wish my childhood years were not over. As I have grown up, everything has changed. My body, my mental health, more pressure to have my first bite, and much more. October is right around the corner. That is when my whole family plans a big massarce ball on Halloween. Now that I am older, I am expected to find my true love and have my first bite. My sister met her boyfriend at my age and bit him the night of the ball. I am a person who wants to bite someone who I won't be in love with. It is hard being different from my family. I want to have a normal life but being a vampire makes it hard. I have not found my crush or true love yet. No boys at my school has attracted me which makes things worse for next month. I need everything done so my family can see I have grown up. My fangs are bigger and my hunger for blood has grown. It's a part of puberty basically for vampires when we are teens. I am 16, I will be 17 at the end of the year. My sister is 22 and thinks she is better than me. Being younger does suck at times but at least I get treated better by my parents.

 Octavia and Bruno are my mom and dad. They met in high school and got married two years after graduating. My mom is a vampire and my dad is a normal human. I was shocked to know my family accepted normal humans as partners. My dad has learned our vampire traditions and ways we act. My mom is the new queen of vampires since my grandma has stepped down from the throne before I was born. That makes my dad king, my sister princess, and I am a princess too. I just never told any of my friends to hide my identity. If the school finds out, I could be expelled or bullied. I was a good identity hider in elementary and middle school but puberty has made things more obvious so I have way more to hide. I have major mood swings and awful nightmares all the time. It must be a part of my hunger for blood. My mom always tells me if I do not bite soon I will get very sick. My sister was close to being sick before her first bite but at least she found her true love in time. No one in my family has became sick yet and I would hate to be the first. That would ruin and destroy our family legacy. 

As the day continued, I watched television and read my books while my sister was spending time with her boyfriend. They are not engaged yet surprisingly. Hopefully they will be soon so I can experience my first wedding. I did make myself some lunch and helped my mom with some chores before their date later. After that, they left and my sister made dinner with her boyfriend. We all ate together and then I went back into my room for the night. Watching more movies and played on my phone. My best friend told me she won all her tennis games so that made me happy. I packed my bag for school and took my bedtime medicine. I laid down and read some of my book before I finally fell asleep after my alarm was set for school. I am not ready for another day of hiding my identity but I had to go. Let's hope I have peaceful dreams and not wake up.
