A Vampires Kiss. *1

 June 10th 1997

                It’s 9:45pm and they just took my mom away from me. Leaving me with my alcoholic father, alone, like I’ve been for my whole life. I’m cuddled under my cover waiting for those men to retreat. I finally hear the door slam. Their gone. Maybe now I can sleep. I’ll write again later, good night.

 

                That was the last thing I wrote into my journal before they took me. Those men, the same men who took my mother. At the young age of 12 I was taken away from my family, and forced into hard labor because I “was strong and confident, and would make a perfect youthling” whatever that meant. After four years I finally figured out what that meant.

                “Kira HeartFell please report to the station guide immediately.”

 My name is Kira HeartFell, I am a sixteen year old girl who wishes she had a normal life. I was taken at the age of 12, from my home in Miami Florida to live in Michigan, and to work for vampires. Not as a blood slave, but as a laborer.  Apparently for my 17th birthday I was to become a youthling. I was born with vampire blood inside of me, which is why they took me. I had no cravings for blood yet until I gained my fangs at the age of 17, in a year I will become a vampire.

I was standing in front of a burgundy colored door, already knew the topic of this discussion- I was to go to public school. I sighed and walked into a medium office with a black leathered couch behind the wooden chairs that sat in front of a huge desk. I saw Ralph sitting at his desk with his head in his hands, he heard me enter and looked up, with a frown on his face.

Ralph is very good looking, but he’s an asshole. He has short brown hair, and piercing blue eyes, that always seem like they’re looking into your soul.

“Sit” He commanded. Well then. I looked at him, “Say please.” I ordered.  And as quick as a flash he was standing in front of me growling. I didn’t even flinch, this was so not new to me. Ralph was never my friend, and I don’t think he will ever be, but i wasn’t going to give up the opportunity to be a bitch to him.

You see, my kind is low on numbers, and for one of our own to kill another…let’s just say the consequences aren’t pretty.

“Kira, I’m in no mood for your bullshit, so will you just take a seat it will make me life so much easier.”

“When have I ever been one to make your life easy?” I asked skeptically. He just looked at me. I sighed for the umpteenth time and sat down ready to hear his rant.

“Kira as you know, we have been informed that a social worker knows that you’re here and demands you to go to school.” I just nodded my head.

“Well, she came by while you were out, and told us of a few schools that could be chosen. As you know, our kind is a very beautiful race, and so we decided not to send you to a public school.”

That was a shock.

“But RALPH! We’ve already talked about me going to one! I don’t want to go to a snotty private school!” This was so not okay. My first shot at a somewhat normal life, and he’s taking it away from me.

“I’m sorry Kira, but it’ll be easier this way. Tomorrow you’ll take a tour of three private schools, while classes are in session I should mind you, and you will get a choice of which you like better. Okay?”

I sighed. There was really no use in fighting with him. “Okay.” I started to get up but he put a hand up to stop me.

“One last thing Kira. Because you have vampire blood in you, your senses are keener than a humans, and you are faster and stronger. You need to be in control at every minute of the day. You may hear things you don’t want to hear, smell things you don’t want to smell, but you can’t say anything. Also, you will get a lot of unwanted attention because of how you look. We are all beautiful, and I do want to warn you of this. Am I clear?”
