The Darkness

Prologue

"Whose side are you on Mike?"

When Angela asked me that yesterday, I was taken aback, my mind exploding with all sorts of thoughts. I'm not sure exactly why she asked that, but maybe it has something to do with my holding on to my humanity. Mr. Robbins always said;

"You'd never be what you are till you let go of who you were."

However, what can I say; I was a human before I became a vampire. You cannot just erase the years of mundane habits. I mean, It's not like I even asked for this...fangs, awesome eyes, overwhelming strength, heightened senses, and off course, the immortality. Well, I can't deny that it has been awesome, although, every sword has two sides; the advantages-which I have named for you, and then the disadvantages, which you already know; vervain, wolf venom-that's why we aren't besties just so you know-stakes, the excruciating thirst and then, what do vamps hate the most? "Sunlight" Well, you know, that vamps, we have many enemies. There are werewolves, our worst rivals-trust me, a bite from those dogs is a one way ticket to hell central to us-By the way, have I ever told you guys about my girlfriend? Let's just say that she is nice-but not so nice. She's totally hot, just in case you were wondering but, that isn't the important part. My girl is a werewolf. Crazy huh? She is named after some actress from 1923, Amara. She goes by Mara now though. According to her, Amara is just too old fashioned but, if you ask me, I think Amara is a pretty hot name. Oh, before I forget, this year, my girl will be three hundred and ninety one years old and am just 18. Talk about age difference. We're centuries apart. Well, it's not as messed up as it sounds; she was turned in 1941 when she was 18 and wares don't age, so, physically-which is most important to me-she's 18 too. I'm sure you guys are probably, most likely, wondering why my dearly beloved is a werewolf; a creature that could and most likely would murder me if I forget her birthday again....opposites attract I guess. So back to our haters; Witches; yeah they are bad news to vamps. I don't get why though. History says they are still pissed about a vampire dude who killed lots and lots of them in the beginning. Since then they passed on the hatred from generations to generations, centuries to centuries. Well, I don't blame them for hating us because, sometimes we vamps can be a pain in the ass. In fact, I like witches because they keep us in check; of course, I am only referring to the good ones. The evil ones are downright nasty. After werewolves and witches comes "the hunters". They are mundanes i.e. humans, who fight against paranormal stuff like witches, succubus, werewolves, and us. Well I don't blame them either but, it sucks when am fighting for them and they still hate my guts. Either way, this life isn't fair so I just have to deal with it. The hunters are taking precaution for a rainy day; like a day when a paranorm(that's what I call our kind and the other supernatural beings) creatures-wakes up and starts killing everybody. They have to be ready. Once in a while, a bunch of the paranorms get mad, So humans attack because they are afraid of what they don't understand; well, I understand us quite perfectly now and yet, I would still stand with the humans any day. The final weirdoes are the succubus; men they are nasty. They go all sucky sucky on your powers so they can feel alive and have strength to toss you around. The reason for our rivalry, I don't get. I just think it's stupid. But don't tell that to Mr. Robbins; he says the fight is all about territory. It's just land dude, we aren't in the Dark Ages anymore! The succubuses are actually the weirdoes I hate the most, despite the fact that most of them are smoking hot.
Yes, we have so many enemies; people who fight us for good reasons, those who fight us for bad reasons and those who fight us for no reason-I seriously don't get. But like my dare devil Professor Mr. Robbins usually says "if you don't have enemies, you are nobody". So, let's rewind back to that obviously confusing question that was thrown at me so suddenly last night. Dressed as charming as ever in my tux, I was ready to go out on my date with Mara-the girl I have had a crush on ever since she moved into the house opposite ours, when Angela, my cute, red headed, extremely annoying, 30 year old vamp pal-who still looks my age by the way, decided to ruin my night. Maybe I should also mention that she has had a crush on me for a while now, even before I was turned which is kinda sweet but, unfortunately for her, I'm madly in love with Amara. Anyway, Angela's dad is a big time vamp, and they treat her with so much love that she still thinks that the world is full of only nice people. It's a pretty naïve and stupid way to think but that's what I like that about her; that why she's my friend.

"Hey" I said when she appeared out of nowhere. "What's-"

"Whose side are you on Mike?" she said abruptly, cutting me off. I guess you're wondering where a question like that comes from. To answer that, let's take a walk down memory lane.................................
