POV SAVANNAH

You may find this a tiny bit weird, but I am a vampire. Now, I'm sure you are laughing right now saying, 'That's a good one!', but now I can hear your dies of laughter as you figure out I'm being serious. Now before you run away, please hear me out.

Yes, there are some bad vampires, but that is only because they become addicted to human blood. We call them Addicts. Not the point though the point is, most vampires are good. Like me. I'm young, I'm only 16, but soon I'll be a full-fledged vampire.

Well, it is. It means I'm fully certified to drink blood. Yes, I know, you think I'll become an Addict or something, but no. I need blood to survive. Twice a week I have to go out and suck some blood out of people. They only get a fuzzy memory from it though, but they go through a hell lot of pain. Heard it hurts like a bitch. Oh well, they are keeping us alive.

Humans owe us though, even if they don't know it. They have killed 20% of the vampire population. Including my parents. My father died when I was 9 years old from a car hitting him, 70 miles an hour. I was devastated, I shut down. He wasn't just my dad, he was my best friend. He was so sweet, bold but gentle. He had a sense of humor that I got. My brother, John, looks like his twin, the same green eyes, with a broad smile, but he acted like my mother.

My mother was the sweetest person, always there for you in hard times, she knew what to say. She was always positive, looking on the bright side, even when things seemed bad. I loved her.

When I was 14, my mother was going to her car, and a man who was mentally ill was waiting with a gun and shot her in the stomach, then shot himself. We rushed her to the hospital, but they couldn't do much, she lost to much blood. My brother and I were both in the room when she passed.

Since then, we took care of each other. John helped me and I helped him. We are both turning 16 tomorrow( by the way, we are twins) and we will be part of the official vampire society. Now, we aren't full vampires. We are like humans, we can't suck blood. We don't have to until 16, also drinking blood under 16 is against vampire law and you will be bitten to death. I might be a total sweetheart but that doesn't mean all vampires are.

There's a special ceremony, the day you turn 16. The ceremony starts with a long boring speech. Then, they take in a random human and you must suck his or her blood, making you a full-fledged vampire.

I didn't know that the ceremony would change my life drastically.
