"This is it," I told myself as I slowly walked along the street, heading towards my home. This is the day my amazing and normal life gets turned upside down. I hung my head while hooking my hands around my backpack's shoulder straps. It usually takes me about ten minutes to get home... it had been twenty and I wasn't even close yet. I slowed my pace even more, dreading my future.

Today was the last day I got to see my completely wacky and lovable friends, my boring school, my annoying classmates. The last time I could ever yell or laugh with any of them. It's not that I didn't appreciate my time with them, I have had the best life possible so far. A plus of knowing your demise in a long-term advancement is you appreciate the little things and don't take anything for granted.

I just didn't think sixteen years would go by so fast.

I need to face the facts: I am half vampire, I turn into my vampire form on my sixteenth birthday, my sixteenth birthday is in a few weeks, and I am moving to a whole other world.

If only other worlds could be a few minutes away! But the truth is I probably will never come back to the human world. I have to take a very special plane tomorrow to meet my brother (whom I have never met before) and his friends. I will be living with them in a dorm room at a boarding school. I really don't know too much about any of this because my parents are both human and they are not allowed to know too much.

You see, my brother is a few years older than me, but we were both adopted after something happened to our parents. I don't remember them whatsoever and I don't understand how I ended up in the human world and him in the other one. But while he was over there doing his thing with his pure vampire parents, I have been rotting with questions ever since I was itty bitty.

It's kind of complicated, but from what I know, if a person is half human and half vampire, they turn into their vampire form on or after their fourteenth birthday for boys and sixteenth for girls. Going through the change is supposedly very scary, and few people can deal with it. Not many even know how because a vampire/human relationship doesn't happen very often.

Unlike half vampires, pure vampires are just born as a vampire and don't have to go through any transformation crap. Also, if they are turned into a vampire after being human then they transform at whatever age they are at.

"Gosh, why me?" I thought as I kicked a large rock. My parents told me everything they knew right when I could talk so it wouldn't ever shock me. But, even with all their information, it's still not enough!

My straight dark brown hair fell over my shoulders as I looked up into the bright blue sky. I hope the sky there is pretty. I hope it has stars at night.

A tear rolled down my cheek as I rounded the wooded bend to my humble street. I had never walked home so slow in my life.

As I walked up to my house I made sure to memorize everything I could. The three big trees out front, the shrubs beside the red door, the flowers lining the white house, the old blue car sitting on the short driveway. Everything.

I paused there for a few minutes and just... looked. I looked, and I memorized. "The last time," rang through my head over and over again.

Sighing, I looked to my black converse-covered feet, willing them to move forward. Slowly, they did. One, two, three, step, step, step. Deep breaths.
