Red is the Coolest Color

chapter 5

hai penguins :3 i ment to post this chapter yesterday my dad turned off the wifi...so, here it IS!!!

I look at my new teeth/fangs and immediately start crying because I'm scared and it hurts. I turn on the sink and pick up a cup and fill it up. I swish the water in the cup around my mouth to get all the blood out and then spit it into the sink. the water I spit is pink with blood. I've mostly stopped crying by now and go back to bed hoping that I will wake up and it will all be a dream...

***

It's not. it's not a dream. when I wake up the fangs are still in my mouth. I want to stay in bed all day because its saturday but I think I should go to the library and do some Research on what is going on with my body.

so I shower and put on a faded Pretty Reckless shirt and a pair of ripped jeans that are really loose and unflattering but I don't care because i am in pain and im hungry because theres no raw meat in my house. I dont feel like styling my hair so I put on another beanie. I put a gray paint stained hoodie on that covers  my neck holes and old converse and then I leave the house. I text my parents where im going so I don't get grounded again.

the walk to the library is short and uneventful. I'ts cold since its late fall. I get inside the library and go to one of the computers. I type in 'im turning into a vampire' and begin looking at the links. theyre all so unhelpful! its all Twilight fanfic and otherkin stuff and goth blogs. I get angry and ex out of google. I walk around the library looking for vampire non fiction books and find a big black one called "Vampires: A Study" so I open it and read it.

At first it's just about the history of vampires according to different legends. the next chapter is famous vapires. the next one is how to tell if you're turning into a vampire and I read the enitre thing. it says tha t the first obvious sigh is puncture wounds. I touch teh wholes on my neck and shiver violently. Check. the next one is a craving for raw meat and blood. i think about the raw steak and hamberger. Check. the last one is the teething of fangs. I run my tongue over my new sharp sharp teeth. Check.

Well.

Looks like I'm a vampire.
