Forbidden Sunrise

Va-Vampire

I finished my lunch and I didn't move even when the bell rang, I stayed in the small boxed room. I tried to occupy myself by writing down lyrics but I kept getting frustrated when I couldn't think of a rhyming adjective.

I tried mentally accessorising my wardrobe, then I got carried away and started jetting down a plan on a scrap piece of paper.

I thought about decorating my whole room and then I came back to reality and realised Uncle Val doesn't like bold colours and he certainly doesn't like pink.. My plan had failed and gone down the drain before I knew it I heard the halls scatter with students. Either it's a fire drill or it's home time. I slipped out of the room and closed the door shut. I was casually walking trying to blend in with the crowd. I did it. I survived my first day of High School... Kind of.

I ran straight out of the building and got into the car and slammed the door behind me. "So how was it?" It was great. I lied. ..

We set off for home, the ride wasn't long thank god for that. I just wanted to go home and cry. I've never felt like this I'm normally so bubbly.

The BMW glided into the garage and I stormed out of the car and ran downstairs and slammed my door shut I sprung on my bed and burst into tears.

*****

At some point I must of fallen asleep Uncle Val knocked on the door. I stayed where I was "Laura. Do you want any tea?" I'd lost my appetite "er, no thanks!" I replied.

I climbed into my bed and under the covers shortly after that I was asleep.

I woke up not sure what time it was I got out of bed and went to get a drink of water, I rinsed my face and then pattered it dry. "what the? AHHHHHHH." I screeched at the top of my voice. I was looking into the mirror but I couldn't see myself. I couldn't see my black hair or my pale white face. Nothing was there at all. The bathroom door banged open "What's wrong? I heard you scream."

I just stared blankly into the mirror patting and pulling my face hoping it was some sort of mirage. "Laura, we er need to talk." Uncle Val said calmly. How on earth could he be so calm about this?!?!

He walked out of the room. Was I suppose to follow? I followed through to his study area he picked up a remote control and clicked some buttons a huge screen came down out of nowhere it flickered and then my farther was on the screen. "Laura,La-aura can you hear us okay?" He stood proudly with my mum by his side. "Hello dear, by the time you see this you will be becoming of age."

"You will be experiencing new things before you transform" - Darling will you let me handle this? My farther cut my mother off!

"Right *cleared his throat* In the last year we have been keeping you safe from many things in the world. We are very proud of you and we love you dearly, You are coming up to seventeen and you will then gain our traits." He paused. "When I first met your mother, I couldn't marry her without marking her. She was my mate. Do you understand what I mean?" I shook my head. "Er so I marked her and she then transformed into a young vampire such as yourself. We was very young. Your mother was just coming up to seventeen just like you." - "Laura look" My mum was flashing her teeth the camera zoomed in and two thangs appeared as if by magic. "You have many traits of ours one of them is mirror transparent.You can't see your reflection no more. This may come of a shock but until you fully transform at midnight on your seventeenth birthday you will no longer be able to see yourself."

"W-we have to go now, you have questions you're curious but Uncle Val will take over from here, we will see you soon, goo-goodbye"

The screen turned to black and I was still starting up in disbelief.

"Laura..." Va-vampires "Yes, er it's been a long day how about you sleep on things." Va-vampires. I trailed downstairs into my bedroom. I sat on the edge of my bed I still couldn't believe it.
