We never lived without blood, it controlled me. My body temptations were dependent, "I need blood" I said to myself. But why, it's terrible what i do to people, innocent humans. I guess the reason I feel so bad about it is because I was once one of them. Thats right, as i wipe the leftover blood away from my lips, it stirs in my head, I'm basically killing my own kind but I need it to survive, I'm a cold blooded killer. I don't turn them into what I am, I take what i need, then snap their necks and drag the cold bodies into the forest to dispose of them. I know it's cruel but why would I do this to them, there is no way to take it back. You can't go back to your family, you have to live without them, no one knows my kind exists, all exept for the person who wrote a book about it. But he is long gone, no one knows what happened to him, lets just say he is buried amongst my other dinners, people say vampires are myth now and it better stay that way.
Back to when i was human (10 years ago) I was 19, I just finished highschool, my sister Caitlin and I were living together. Ofcourse she owned the house, she was 26 years old and engaged to Bryce, her now fiance, they have been together 7 years. I was so happy for them, they were my only family, my mother had died during my senior years at highschool. All I can remember is her calling my name when i left for school that morning "Liz" she said "have a good day, i love you" I said that I loved her and I went to school. She didnt look her best but I thought she would be ok and that I will check on her when I got home. I was so shocked when I was told what happened and the funeral arrangements were already set up, so that was soon.
The funeral was located near a peaceful forest, I was asked to say a few words, drawn to tears I ran into the forest unknown of the dangers lurking inside. As I was running through the trees I hit spiderwebs and I tripped over a root in the ground and just to my luck it was right over the edge of a small drop, I fell and landed on my stomach, then gained the strength to turn around but everything was blurry and fading to darkness but before I was completely out I saw a grey figure and then blackness. I woke up in an abandoned house, I felt so drousy but I could stand. I saw my coat and things resting on a chair across the room, aswell as a note that said 'You are not to return to your sister, your new status is superiority. Blood and lust will rule you, you will learn to control these naturally but sometimes it takes you for a joyride - from a friend'. I was confused to what was going on, it was obviously a dream I thought.
I walked out the front door, the light hurt me so I ran up the dirt road to the highway and followed it back up to where my mothers funeral was held, the flowers I picked for her were brown and dry and almost disintegrated, but it wouldnt have happened overnight. I must have been out for weeks, but how is that possible. I didn't know what to do, so I started up the highway I felt cold tears running down my cheeks. Two hours later I make it to my sister Caitlins house, she is sitting on the lounge with Bryce, she is crying uncontrollably, he is holding her tightly and saying its going to be ok, they will find her soon. I'm not so sure about that, I lift up my coat and a terrible smell comes off it, I need a shower and fresh clothes so, once my family is asleep I will make my way into the house and take my clothes and find a shower elsewhere.
It was 1am Bryce and Caitlin were sound asleep on the lounge, a good time to move I thought. So I sneaked around the house to my window, it was locked and so were all the other ones. So my only hope was the back door I pushed it open, trying not to make any noise and stepped inside. Once I got inside I felt a cold shiver of fear come over me, but its only my imagination. I made my way over to my room and went in, my room was spotless i opened my drawers and all of my clothing was folded and tucked away neatly. I sat on the edge of my bed to go through my drawers, I started packing a small bag with warm clothes and some other things. I felt so empty, I was starving but thats not exactly what it felt like, it was more of a desperate thirst, so i went quietly into the kitchen after shutting my bedroom door gently. I opened the fridge, I guess after I went missing they didnt really cook, they just ordered takeout, all that was left was some garlic bread it was always my favourite. I went to grab a piece but the smell was somehow making my ears ring, my vision was blurring as I lost balance and fell to the cold ground, I knocked the glass jars out of the fridge door. It made a terrible sound, I heard them getting up off the couch and storming in the kitchen, I used my speed to escape out the door quick enough leaving dust and memories behind but I knew it was safer to never set foot in that house again, incase I hurt them.
Which brings me here to today, I'm standing in the same spot I was when I was first turned into this 10 years ago. I see Caitlin everyday but she does not see me, I hear her cries of joy every day because she now has a young daughter, I do not know her name but she is beautiful. Its time for me to go home to my new family as of 6 years ago, we live deep in the forest in an abandoned house, sometimes we get visitors of the human kind and we make the most of them because they are very useful when we decide that we dont want to go out hunting today.
