Hey guys ok so this is one of my short storys i had to write for my English class and i decided to upload it .I dont think it is any good but if you read it i would like some feedback :) Thanks xx
I walked through the forest taking in every little detail of my surroundings and I thought to myself ‘Why can’t my life be easier?’. My parents were fighting constantly and i just needed some space so I went into the woods behind my house where I always go just to get away from the shouting match that goes on most of the day. I walked deeper into the woods and took the pathway that lead to the most magnificent meadow, my meadow that nobody knew about except me, well at least that’s what I thought.
I just lay down on the soft grass and stared at the sky thinking about how my life would be if my parents didn’t fight all the time, or if my dad didn’t lose his job would thing be better?’ I watched the trees sway from side to side as the wind slowly picked up speed and scattered leaves all around the woods. I noticed a flock of geese flying high up in the sky shaped liked a ‘V’ and listened to the beautiful sound of the birds tweeting. I sung quietly to myself, music was the one thing that kept me sane and the one thing that I loved to do along with reading. As I watched the sun begin to set I felt a presence behind me. I quickly turned around but there was nothing or no one there, I shrugged it off and put my attention back onto the sun set.
I looked at my phone and I noticed i had three missed calls from my mam and a text from my dad. I decided it was time to start heading back to my house because it was getting late and starting to get dark. I walked my usual path home, and as I neared the gap in the trees where I used as my exit I noticed a figure standing there. I got a little scared due to the fact that I lived far out from the town and my nearest neighbours were a mile away. I walked a little closer I noticed it was a boy of about seventeen, he was wearing all black but it was his eyes that stood out, they were red, I never seen anything like it before and if I’m honest I was a little scared. I didn’t want to pass him but I had no choice so I kept my head down and walked faster to the exit. I walked closer to him not making eye contact but as i passed him he grabbed my upper arm and dragged me deeper into the forest further away from my house. I tried to scream but he put his hand over my mouth to keep me quiet and I tried to escape but his grip was too strong on me. My house was now a spec in the distance and as my eyes tried to adjust to the now surrounding darkness the boy came to a sudden holt and left me go. His grip was so strong on my arm it was now red and painful to touch.
“What do you want with me?” I shouted at him but go no answer. I was getting worried now because he was just staring at me with those piercing red eyes.
“ My name is Jake and I took you here because you are the chosen one” He finally said to me.
“Erm... what do you mean I am the chosen one?” I asked him
“ I’ll explain when the others come here” He informed me as he walked away leaving my vulnerable to what or whoever was coming.
A few minutes later Jake returned with two other boys slightly older looking than him. Even though it was dark I could still see the colour of their eyes. One of them had Yellow eyes and the other guy had a light shade of blue they both really stood out. As they came closer to me and I slowly backed away but was stopped in my tracks as I bumped into a tall muscular figure that was now standing behind me. I was afraid to turn around due to fear as to what I would see. The person that was standing there walked around me and joined the other boys, now there was four of them and now there was no way I could take them on now.
“ Sophie I’m Barry and this is Luke, Mark and you already meet Jake. We are part of a secret group of vampires, do you know why you are here?” one of the other boys asked me.
“Well apparently I’m ‘the chosen one’ according to that Jake guy over there” i said to him as I pointed to Jake who was now leaning against a tree.
“ Yes you are the chosen one but the important question is do you know what being the chosen person means?” Luke one of the other guys asked me.
“Not really would you care to elaborate?” I said in a sarcastic tone.
“Basically you have been chosen to become one of us by our father who is like the King of our group. He has noticed how unhappy you have been for the last couple of months and he wants to offer you an escape from your old life and to start a new one as one of us”.
I was a little shocked as to what he was saying but i was seriously considering it, i thought to myself what could be better than what my life is like at the moment what was there to lose I had no friends and I doubt my parents would miss me they fight too much to notice I’m there anyway.
“Ok then whatever gets me out of the train wreak that is my life now I’ll take anything and becoming a vampire sounds fun” I told him with a smile on my face.
“Sophie becoming one of us is not fun, believe me” Jake said as he walked towards me. He was now standing facing me looking straight into my eyes.
“ But this is what I want and im not changing my mind. So what do I have to do to become a vampire?” I questioned Jake.
“ Firstly you need to relax and it will soon be over” Jake said as he grabbed my wrist as dug his fangs into the vein and sucked the blood from my arm. Then he cut his own wrist and told me to take some of his blood to change. His blood tasted different, it was like a mixture of vanilla and lemon. I took some of his and as it made its way down my throat a burning sensation began to start. I felt a little sick and began to feel woozy, my vision began to blur and the next thing I knew I was in an house I didn’t know and with people surrounding me I never seen before.
I noticed Jake standing amongst the people looking at me thank god a face I recognised I thought to myself. I tried to sit up but I couldn’t, I tried to move my legs but I couldn’t I wonder what I was wrong with me.
“Why are you all staring at me and why can’t I move?” I asked the people in the room but all I got back was silence. I asked the question again and finally someone spoke up.
“Sophie as you know Jake tried to turn you into one of us this usually is just one of the affects of turning into a vampire but there is something wrong. You took too little of Jakes blood to complete the process so I’m sorry but you will be paralyzed from the waist down until we figure something out, I’m sorry.” He said to me as he took my hand.
A tear escaped the corner of my eye and rolled down my cheek, I was devastated and now my life was worse than it was before but it was my choice in to long run and I had to face the consequences and changes that’s going to come with the life changing decision I make.
