The Vampire

Chapter 1

I just came home from school. I walked through the door and get news slapped in my face. My family and I are moving to Germany. What the fuck?

"It'd be better living there, you'll make new friends. You'll love it!" my mother tells me while she's packing her freaky china dolls in a box.

"It's not fair. You guys didn't have a sit down talk with me about this." Should I be mad at this type of conflict? Bet your ass I am.

"Aleera, calm down. Your dad found a better job, he wants whats best for all of us." Yes Aleera is my name. Aleera Dawn Nelson, Ha. Enjoy that name people.

"For us to be miserable where people only speak a certain language?" Now that part is a lie... I took four German courses in school, why? cause I love foriegne language. Hey, i'm quite good at it too.

"Sweetheart, you'll get use to the fact that you just might like Germany."

"We'll see." I went up to my room and decided to pack some of my stuff, might as well get it over with before the head hog comes home and gets the beat down on my older brother Kurk and I. My dad is a super freak when it comes to moving or doing whatever he wants us to do. I got a box and started to put some regular stuff in it like; my DvDs, CDs, books, anything you could think of. (i dont have dildos or vibrators you sickos:P)

I went through my closet and drawers cause technically were leaving at two in the morning for the airport. I was shuffling through the drawers until I saw the shirt. It was my grandfathers memorial t-shirt; It said "In Loving Memory of Harold H. Nelson" my dads dad, he recently died of cancer. I was really close to my grandpa and when he died, I didnt take it well. I almost killed myself by doing a russian roulett but I new I shouldn't do it cause my family doesnt want to lose another family member. I carefully tucked the shirt in a backpack and went to the bathroom to get my, well..... girl needs. Unfortuantly, Kurk was in there singing his Slipknot albums.

"Aleera, are you pshyced that were moving across the globe? Fucking rightous man!" Kurk is kind the heavy metal/hippie type.

"Sure, but i wouldn't say that i'm all happy go lucky about it."

"Cheer up, I hope there are people like me that are there. Cause you know, im that awesome."

"Whatever you say Kurk, whatever you say." I squessed by him and got my girl nessiessities and quickly left.

At dinner, our last supper here in the house, we had spaghetti. Yum. It was kinda a awkward feeling cause dad was home and was talking about his new marine biology job, mom was obviously stoned fantasized by the talk, and Kurk just listing to his ipod, kinda head banging and mouthing the words at the same time white slurping the noodles and getting spaghetti sauce all over his mouth. I just sat that there, like a memorial stone, just sitting perfectly still and not paying hardly any attention to anything or anyone when I got shocked back into reality.....

"Aleera..... Didn't you hear a word I just said?" My dad asked.

"What?...... Oh, no sorry. I was spacing out. What was it?"

"I said that Germany has some fine schools and that you and Kurk would do fine there than here---" he looked at Kurk and back at me. My brother and I are almost failing all of our classes cause in Maine's high schools are all hard. We moved all over Maine to every single high school they had and we still failed. Sucks right? Don't anwer that.

"We'll try harder," we both said.

"Good. Get to bed early tonight cause we have a big day ahead of us at two in the morning and head on." When does mom ever have a say so in the matter?

After I took a shower, I layed in bed and stared at my ceiling thinking 'is this going to be fun or is this going to be like every single place we've been in Maine?' I was dozing off when Kurk comes in and does this scary psycho head bang and runs off down the hall back into his dark room. Good lord, please help my brother on our journey to this place.
