Dream Of A Vampire

Chapter Five

I could feel the power of the vampire blood coursing through my veins. It felt warming but it was painful at the same time.

I had blinked again and my eyes had changed back to normal.

“What does it feel like?” Max asked

“It warming but it’s painful”

“That’s good, let’s try and stand up” He said whilst helping me up from ground

I stumbled when I was standing but soon got stable. I could still feel the blood running through my veins as we walked back to the park.

“You may feel a bit of pain as the blood is going through your veins changing you. Some days you could have headaches as this is because of the blood going into your brain. It’s perfectly normal. As I explained before you will sense new things happening to you. Just look at your hair, it’s slowly changing.” He said to me

I looked at my hair and of course it was going brighter. It was happening so slowly so no one would notice it. I could hear animals scurrying across the ground. The distant chirping of the birds in the trees and the brushing of leaves as the wind pushed past them. It was just magical. I wanted this moment to last but it slowly drifted off and I could now only hear the crunching of the leaves beneath our feet as we walked closer to the park.

“You just give me a message when you feel stomach pains. This means that you’re going into hunger and that means you will have to leave until it has stopped.” He chirped

“What am I going to say to my parents?” I looked up at him

“Well, you can say you’re going round you friends for a bit of time and will be back soon? At the end of the day it is really your choice of what you say. I don’t know when you’re going to start your hunger. It depends on each person and how quick the process happens according to how your body reacts with the blood. So far it seems like your responding well which is good.” He replied

“Yeah I suppose. Who knows about this? What happened today?” I asked

“Only my parents know as I had to get permission to do it. I am really meant to get permission from the high council of the group that I am in but I felt like you needed to be changed. An answer from the high council could take from days to weeks or months. I could feel it inside of you. Your burning desire to become a vampire was just too much for me to handle. I had to ask my parents and I literally begged them Clarissa. For you.” Max confided in me. I could feel the emotion in his voice. I swear I saw his eyes water and if he did blink he would of have a single tear roll down his cheek.

I nodded and hugged him knowing that he needed comforting. He hugged back, holding me tight into his chest he muttered,

“When you start your hunger you will need someone to feed from. Me. For you to say thank you, you can feed from me when it’s time.”

I pulled away and looked up at him.

“You don’t have to.”

He looked down at me and smiled.

“Well, message me later just to keep me up to date on things. See you soon.”

“Thank you” I whispered

I smiled at Max and started to walk home still feeling the pain. It was starting to die down now as I could feel the blood reaching the last parts of my body. I didn’t want this feeling to go but I could feel it slowly burning out just like candle.

I walked into my house and bounded up the stairs and going into the bathroom. I looked into the mirror and saw that my hair was a light brown; lighter than it was before. A huge smile grew onto my face. I ran into my room and loaded up my laptop. I loaded up Facebook and messaged Teagan.

Me: OMG! I am a vampire! Creepy right?

Teags: OMG really! Yeah it is. Gonna be weird at school tomorrow you know!

Me: I know! Only I, you and Max know that I and he are vampires!

Teags; Yeah! Do you like burn in the sun or something? What about your ‘addiction’ to blood and your eyes?

Me: Ha-ha-ha Teags! Nope I don’t. According to Max I have a period of hunger which is where I want to drink blood. My eyes turn when I ‘activate’ my fangs. They don’t come until later though, just before my hunger. Yeah so if I feel off or look off then it’s me changing. It won’t be visible but I have slight twinges. He said I may have headaches as well because of the blood entering my brain so I’ve asked my mum to get me a few packs of paracetamol. She thought I was going to kill myself. I just said it was stomach pains lol. So yeah, I’m a vampire!

Teags: Ohhh explains everything! I better stay away from you then when you start your hunger lol

Me: Yeah otherwise it would get pretty ugly as I wouldn’t have control over it...

I trailed off at that message. I remembered what Max had said.

“You can feed on me”

What if I can’t stop myself? I may drink him dry. I can’t, I just can’t feed from him. I wish this hunger will hurry up.

Beep

Beep

Beep

I slammed my hand down onto my alarm clock. I heard a crunching noise when I lifted my hand up. I sat up straight and looked at my clock.

Oh shit.

I looked at the remains of my alarm clock which looked like it had been smashed with a sledge hammer. I should not do that again when I eventually get a new alarm clock. I did my morning routine and stopped mid flow of me brushing my teeth when I noticed a change of colour in my eyes. They had changed from my blue to a blue-purple colour. I can’t go out with my eyes like this.

I messaged Max on Facebook.

Umm so hey but my eyes have changed colour, WHAT DO I DOOOO!!!!

I looked at the time on my phone and it was showing 7:30. I went downstairs, purposely not making eye contact with my sister and grabbed some food from the kitchen cupboard, walked back upstairs and stuffed it into my bag. I also remembered that I didn’t have time to sort my bag out so I put all my books I had on my desk into my bag.

Ping!

I grabbed my phone, unlocked it and looked at the message.

All you have to do it change them with your mind.

WHAT!
