Afraid of the Dark

Vampire family and a bit of hisory about me

Chapter one: vampire family and a bit of history about me

Most people say that there are no vampires.

But there are.

We are everywhere. At your school, on the playground, in the pool.

We exist. But we are not the same vampires that are in story books like Dracula.

I mean we do drink blood, but we can also eat human food. But the difference between us and the storybooks is that we are afraid of the dark. We don't sleep in coffins and only Come out at night. We sleep with the lights on, or the television. That is why the shutters and curtains are closed. Not because we want more dark. But it is because we hate it. That is how the rumor we sleep in coffins was created. Dark house must equal closed curtains, and dark house must also equal sleeping in coffins.

Something in our minds trigger or fear. Humans don't mind the dark, even though there are a handful of them out there who are afraid.

In the books and movies people refer to us as creatures of the night, but actual we are creatures of the light.

Now you are probebly wondering how we feed if we only come out at in the day time. We usually eat in allies or somewhere people don't look. And I happen to be very good at luring people into my house.

I live in a house with 10 other vampires not including myself. I am 16 in human years but 150 years old from the time since I was turned. I haven't really ever fit in with the rest of the vampires. I am short. Like a whopping 5'0" tall. I was faster than most of the other vampires so they didn't like me for that. And then there was my style, most vampires are very elegant. But I wasn't. I am a trouble maker from my punk\gothic style to my attitude. Don't get me wrong I am very nice, but I just don't like to follow rules. My parents died when I was 6. They were humans. I was turned 10 years later. And I have been 16 ever since then. I knew my parents wouldn't approve of what I was now. But then again, they were never there for me when I needed them most. Being an orphan was hard. I got depressed. I was 16 when I tried to commit suicide. I stabbed my self in the abdomen. A vampire must have smelled my blood and changed me before I died. I woke up the next morning feeling really strong. I was hungry though. And that is when I killed my first human. A stranger, I didn't even know. I had a weird sensation. Like the hairs on the back of my head were raised. And if my heart was still beating, I bet you would have heard it. A mile away. I had a lump in my throat. And an awkward feeling in my stomach. That was when I figured out a vampires worst fear. The dark. I watched the sun set soon it started to get darker and I was panicking. I lit all the candles. But I survived. Now it is 2014 and full of technology and terrible popular music.

I should tell you about myself. My name is Drusilla Greenleaf. I love guitar and music. I love to run and just escape the world. I have dark brown hair that is mostly shaved off except for the top. My eyes are black and I have pale skin. I have 2 best friends who are named Vivian Purton and Verena Williams. Vivian is loud and a thrill seeker. She has black hair down to her butt and it covers her black eyes. Her skin looks like white paper and she is always wearing a smirk. Verena on the other hand is just mischievous. She has purple hear to her elbows and always wears a truckload of blac makeup around her black eyes. Her skin is also pale. She will go nowhere without her leather jacket and her beanie.

Don't underestimate us jsut because we hate the dark. Because we are strong, fast, super sight and hearing, and we drink blood. You can call us monsters but we are just people..well, not exactly....

The memebers of our house are: me, Verena, Vivian, Jennifer-17human year but really 50 year old preppy control freak with dirty blonde hair, jake- 14human year, 73 year old genious with shaggy blonde hair, Christian-27human year, 890 year old leader, knows everything about everything, with short brown hair, jade-16 human year and 68 year old depressed ever since her little brothers head was ripped off, loves candy and had jet black hair down to her shoulders, jasmine- blonde stuck up jerk 18 human years and 109 years old, Jamie 23 human, 89 years, flappy brown hair and a nice smile, kind and musical, and Andrew(andy) 17 years human, 138 year old, ginger hair and dimples, we used to hang out all the time but he got a job at a recording studio so we don't really hang out that much.

That's is it. My family. Even though we don't get along all the time I love them. We all love eachother in our own way. We are all orphans, Christian is an amazing leader. Even though he is really bossy. He just doesn't want anyone to get hurt. Jennifer is the newest member of the group. She was turned only 50 years ago. She is bossy and a perfectionist so we didn't get along...at all. But we loved eachother in our own way we are like sisters.
