The Vampire's Heart (Gregory's Love Story)

Episode 1: The Beginning

Her POV:

I was forced into a car, then into a plane, and then into another car. 'Why the hell are we even in Scotland anyway? It's not like we need to be here. 

I lost my friends in America and now I have to start a new school, learn new faces, my life's gonna be a living hell.' I thought to myself as I reread the same page.

"I swear Melina. I don't know why you or your brother read those creepy books. I don't know why you do any of the things you do." My mother said, causing me to roll my eyes. It's not like she ever accepted me. 

Ever since I came out as emo, ever since the death of my grandma, me and my parents have had a pretty distant relationship. And my distant, I mean it's like I don't exist to them anymore.

Time passed, and finally, we arrived at what looked like a medieval castle of some sorts. Along the side of the stone were vines and the stone itself was degraded by weather and wind. I found it beautiful; it was like a castle in one of my stories.

"Melly, why don't you go pick out a room, we'll get the truck." I groaned at the word 'Melly'. I've hated that nickname since I was a child, why won't they understand that every time I hear that word, I want to punch their faces out.

I grabbed by bags and entered the house. The inside was just as beautiful. Climbing up the stairs, I made my way down a rickety hall and found a door closest to a window.

I entered the room, there was already a bed inside, as well as my own fireplace. I even had a mini chandelier over my head. I could picture where everything would go. I just put my suitcase down and claimed my spot.

================================================================================

Her POV:

It was later in the day and I was out in the market with my father. After making sure he was buying extra bananas, I had to sneak out for a minute, the father being too much and I was just leaning against a random wall.

"Damn, I could go for a smoke." I sigh out, looking up at the sky. Suddenly, a smoke was handed to me. I looked over, it was a girl dressed in black clothing with spiked hair. I smirked, accepting as she lit me up.

"So, you're new to town?" She asked, taking the cigarette out of my hand and smoking some.

"Gee, what gave it away? My accent, the fact I can't use your money, or the face you never met me before. It's a small town." She chuckled lightly at me.

"I'm Drue."

"Melina."

"You look like someone who enjoys a night out on the town." I was handed a flyer. It was a club, some underground club. "Special Invitation. You'll have a blast, but you need this to get in." I was also handed a bracelet.

"Kick ass band plays every weekend from after sunset to before sunrise. Trust me when I say, you'll never want to leave. I have to let management know you're on the up and up. See you Saturday at around 8." Before I had a chance to thank her, she was gone. I just put the bracelet around my wrist. At least I had a few days to plan my outfit.

================================================================================

Her POV:

My brother, Tony was in the room next to me. I feel like he's the only person in the house who truly understands me, someone who is kind and caring. I feel like a vampire. Constantly misunderstood. Someone who people judges based on their looks and stories. My phone went off, and it was from Drue.

"Party Canceled. Cops snooping around. Party next Saturday."

I just shrugged, I still had to plan my outfit anyway. It was a lot and I had to from unpacking to planning what I had to do for school, which is next week. I was not excited in the least, I was gonna get bullied and the teachers are gonna hate me.

The clock read 2:32 am and I sighed, deciding to go to bed. Closing my book, 'Dracula', I turned out the light and went closed the blinds.

"Goodnight love." I say before collapsing on my bed.

================================================================================

3rd POV:

In a graveyard, a young boy around the age of 13 years old was playing in the grass. His hair is a midnight black and he wore a cape. His skin is pale white and a little girl around age 12 walked up to him.

"Rudolph, you know if you keep coming out here, father is going to yell at you." He sighs lightly.

"It's cramped and boring in there. I want to be able to explore the world, or at least a little bit of Scotland. We've been in here for decades and we haven't left the place. 

Only Gregory has been able to leave and it is so unfair." He groans out, lying back on the tombstone. The girl sighs and looks at the boy, petting his head.

================================================================================

3rd POV:

It was Monday, Melina was getting ready for school. Her parents aren't gonna like her outfit, but she doesn't give two shits about what they think. Her hair was combed back and spiky, exposing her thick eyeliner and black lips.

She put on a white shirt with a black angel wings design on the front. She wore her favorite black jeans with black lace-up boots. With her grandmother's ring on, she wrapped her messenger bag around her shoulder and made her way down the stairs. She came face to face with her family; only Tony smiled at her.

"Melly, what are you wearing?" She growled at that nickname.

"Mom! For the hundred time, I hate that nickname. And I'm wearing clothes. Unless you want me to go to school naked." She counters, taking a bite out of a piece of toast.

"Why can't you wear normal clothes like your brother? He looks so handsome, and you... you look like a vampire." Her mother said, making the teen girl look up.

"Maybe, you should have only had him if you are not happy with me." She says snarky before leaving the table, walking out of the house. The mother reached out before putting her hand down in defeat.

"There is no getting through to that girl!" The mother cries out before pinching the bridge of her nose.

"Maybe it's less getting through to her, and more understanding her. " Tony says, finishing his milk before running after his sister. The mom was left in shock, her heart dropped. Her son can get through to her daughter better than she ever could.

Melina was steaming, angry. Her mother never really approved her look. "Hey sis!" She looked back to see her little brother trying to catch up to her. "Don't let it get you down, remember that grandma always loved you just the way you are. It's gonna take time for mom to understand you, so give her a break." With that, he ran to the car, taking the back seat.

He wasn't wrong; grandma loved her so much. She was really the only one who understood Melina, and when she died; her style hit the roof. She became who she was today.

"Grammy... I miss you." She sighs and heads to the car.
