I'm Sorry

I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. All I wanted was to put the trash out. Why couldn't it of happened like this? Why did these things always have to happen to me?I didn't mean for this to happen I'm so, so, so sorry.

What kind of girl would ever want to date something like me? I wonder while looking at my fangs in my full length mirror behind my door in my bedroom.

 As you guessed it yes I am a vampire. 

Now don't let me get started about how vampires can't see their reflection. Well I'm sorry, but your wrong. Same with the extra speed and strength. We still have super cool healing powers though which comes in handy quite a lot so thank you for that Mother Nature.

 How else to you think we could hide? Making up myths like that is just part of our disguise that we have to protect our kind.

I looked back at my reflection sighing. I was nothing much. I got told I was beautiful, but I didn't think that. My face was too round, my short hair just complimented my round face, my nose is quite big, which doesn't help how small my eyes are. My eyes are kinda grey with purple now and then. My hair jet black, the only thing I really liked. Sadly it's not naturally black, I dye my red hair every month. It just didn't match my eyes.

I was starting to get hungry so I went to the kitchen make a blood milkshake. Don't worry, not all of it's human blood just a little bit to get the flavour right.

"Rose come here," My mum called.

"Just a sec mum!" I replied continuing my blood-shake.

"No, Rose. Come here now!" 

"Fine!" I yelled back stomping my feet on the ground, stopping what I was doing for the moment.

I found her sitting outside breathing in the last bits of her cigarette. I hated how she and dad smoked, but hey I'm not them and I don't ever want to end up like them. I want to be an artist, to sell all my artwork and make my name known: Iris Vhia. 

I know my mum calls me Rose because that's the name I was born with, but I prefer the name Iris. I feel it suits me much better than Rose ever did.

"What do you want?" I ask once I reach the door to the backyard.

"Stop with the attitude Rose-"

"It's Iris," I correct her. It gets annoying when my family calls me by my wrong name, but you get used to after a while.

"Oh sorry, Iris." she said giving me a pretty small eye-roll, which was quite hard to see since it was quite dark outside, as the clock was coming up to 7pm.

"Thank you."

"Anyway, Iris. What I really wanted to tell you was if you could please put the bins out and then get your sister into bed and read her a story," she instructed.

"But it's dark outside!" I whined, obviously scared of the dark.

"Seriously, I never thought that I would birth the only vampire scared of the dark," she mocked.

"At least I am a vampire," I retorted.

Only Dad and I were vampires. Mum and my sister, Rihanna, were humans. It's funny how I take after mum with everything but being a human, and Rihanna takes after my dad besides the vampire part. That's our family for you. Weird and fucked up really, but it's my family and I wouldn't want any other one.
