Two Hearts One Soul

Chapter 1 cont.

I woke with a splitting headache. I heard my phone ringing so I dragged myself off my bathroom floor into my bedroom. The sun was shining through my windows as usual but when I stepped over to grab my phone from the charger, my hand began to burn. It literally burst into flames.

I shrieked and jumped back into the shadows of my closet and put the flames out on my hand. I saw as the burnt flesh began to heal its self right in front of my eyes.

"What the fuck?" I muttered as I stared at my once charcoaled hand.

I ran around my bed, making sure not to step in the sun, crawling over and as quickly as possible, I grabbed my phone.

Seven missed calls from Sapphire. I looked at the time, twelve thirty. Well its too late to go to school.

"Hey sorry. I wasnt feeling good so I stayed home." I text her.

"And you couldn't answer your phone?" she replied.

"Just woke up really. Killer headache." I sent.

"Ok girl, but I'm coming over after school."

"Ok chica." I sent back with a smile on my face.

I layed my phone on the bed and went down stairs to get something to eat. I was starving! I dug through the freezer and grabbed the pack of steaks. While I was cooking them, my mom came into the kitchen.

"Hey mom. Thanks for dinner last night. It was delicious." I said as she passed me to get to the fridge.

"I'm glad you liked it sweetheart. How are you feeling?" she said, looking at me like I was a science experiment.

"I feel fine just starving." I said as I pulled the steaks off the burner and onto my plate.

"Oh ok, well here is something to drink with it." mom said pulling a glass of the same red juice she gave me last night.

I could smell it as I moved passed her to the table. It smelt so good that my mouth started to water as my eyes latched onto the glass.

"What is that?" I said wanting to go to the store to get more..

"It's what you're craving." mom said in a dismissive tone.

Shrugging my shoulders as a what ever sign, I grabbed the glass and sat down. Cutting a piece of steak and plopping it in my mouth, it turned to ash. I spit it out, it tasted awful. I quickly took a long swig from my drink as my mom sat next to me still staring in amazement at me.

"What?" I said after I finished my drink.

"Open your mouth." she said, stunning me.

"Huh? Why?" I said.

"Just do as I say and open your mouth." she repeated sternly.

Skeptical, I did as she said and opened my mouth wide so she could peer in. I seen her prick her finger and come towards me with a drop of blood pooling up on the tip. I closed my mouth immediatly.

"What are you doing?" I asked frantically.

"Does your gums hurt any?" she diverted my question.

"A little but what does that have to do with what you are doing with trying to put your bloody finger in my mouth?" I said.

"Open your mouth again dear and trust me." I did as she asked.

She rubbed her blood on my gums over my canines and my mouth exploded with pain more as I felt my teeth enlongate.

"What the fuck? My teeth are lengthening? What the hell is happening to me!" I thought as my mom stared in amazement at my fangs.

"I did it." It sounded like she muttered.

"What? You did what?" I said awkwardly around my teeth.

"How do you feel when you step in the sun?" she said instead.

"No mom! Anwer the question. What did you do!?!" I said jumping out of my chair and raising my voice.

"I turned you into a vampire."
