Why?!

Sleeping and eating are normal everyday’s chores that a human has to do, but my family and I have no needs for them.

It does sound strange, doesn’t it?

There is a simple explanation. We are not human. Humans have called us by many names in all sorts of languages. The titles bloodsucker and vampire tend to be on the more popular side. They even make up corny myths about us, such as we are the damned creature that God hates, or that we cannot see ourselves in the mirror for we do not have a soul. But what I found to be the most entetaining is that we will burn at the sight of daylight.

It is disappointing for lack of a better word. I bet you if they see us for whom we really are. They will shrink back in horror, not because we are ugly or anything, it would mostly be about how alienate we all are. Human nature is fascinating in that aspect. They always pride themselves in being the most intelligent and the most civilised of the animal kingdom, however, their inflated ego blocks them from seeing the truth. We are the true predator. Not them.

Since we are the true children of God himself and humans are just supply and entertainment provided by God for us. Grandmother once said things that be will be and things that won't, now that is something to look forward to. Maybe because of her long existence, her words sometimes create more confusion rather than provide answer. Grandmother, or granny, also loves to change it up every couple of centuries or so. I think her present name is Elizabeth Mergomiz, a mouthful if you asked me. Anyway she is not the oldest of our kind nor the most powerful, fortunately.

The most powerful of our kind looks after us. The Nameless helps us stay hidden over the years and provides our every need. Truthfully, we do not need to stay hidden for anyone sake, but it is better that way. Less hassle.

Why work when you can make others do it for you?

Human took over the control of the lands when we were idling, and so they should. We have no need for them. Too much trouble to constantly worrying about borders and who might take it from you, or what they might do to you. Why not let others think they are in control, when in fact, you are pulling a the strings.

Be the puppet master, not the puppet.

Now they make up all kinds of things to describe us and humiliate us, but why bother if we want to destroy everything they’ve built, we can just do it whenever and however we pleases. If there is a God, then I think we are the top predator. The proof for that is most if not all creatures on this world has blood, which is the only thing we need to sustain our lives.

“Hey kiddo, what are you think so hard about?” ask my elder.

“Nothing, sorry I usually daze out like that.” Here comes the nosy people.

“Well, you better concentrate or else you might just lose your meal for the day.” Tease another elder. I almost forgot, these elders are ten levels above me and my friends, today we are learning how to neutralized our ‘meal’ for the day from a distant using our mind. Obviously, we have to start out somewhere; we can't just get all those wisdom and knowledge in just an instance. Although sometimes I wish that is the case. I am ashamed to admit that we are somewhat similar to this race call human. That is not only my problem but it involves my whole race. They despise this fact and by all means trying to change it.

“Yurella concentrate!” the first elder hisses into my ear.

“My apology, but don’t you dare use that tone with me, Elder.” I strongly emphasizing. Each word is filled a hidden threat.

“If you keep apologizing I will be very pissed off, instead of saying those useless things why don’t you just concentrate on your prey!”

“Right away, sir!” I say sarcastically.
