A normal day. It was all perfect. I was walking home from the most prestigious high school in Japan, UA. I didn't have a care in the world. Little did I know, my life would soon change, for the worse.

The sun was on the verge of setting and I put in my earbuds after waving and bidding goodbye to my friends Uraraka and Iida.
I turned a street that I walk down everyday to go to and from school. I walked pass the alleyways between the apartment buildings in the complex me and my mom lived in. But this time there was something a little different... in the corner of the alleyway next to my apartment, was a middle-aged man. He was digging through the garbage bin that stored me and my neighbors trash. I decided to talk to him.
"Um... sir? Hello? Do you need help?" I ask confusedly.
He pauses digging through the trash and then turns to me.
"Yes, young man... indeed I do..." He begins to walk towards me slowly... creepily almost.
"Oh... o-ok then, how can I help?" I ask shakily.
"J-just come here..."

Now I really don't want to help this guy anymore, he's really scary, and honestly, he's scaring me.
"Uh-um... maybe I should go..." I say, backing away from the alley.
"Oh no no no no no NO!" He Shouts.
I can't move... I'm frozen in fear.
"YOU WILL STAY WHEN I TELL YOU!" He screams, walking towards me, faster than before.
IM GOING TO DIE I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE OH MY GOD.
I finally gain enough courage to start running. As fast as I can, back to my apartment... to safety. I can feel my green hair becoming even messier in the wind.
I JUST NEED TO GET AWAY.
I'm running as fast as I can until I reach the entrance to my building. I stop and take a few breaths. I look around, no sign of the creepy guy.
Whew!
I turn to open the door but am one again frozen from fear.
A hand touches my shoulder. And then another hand on my other shoulder. I can feel my self sweating through my clothes.
I can hear him breathing in my ear as he whispers to me.
"thank you, for helping me"

I'm confused at first and attempt to break free of his grasp but immediately regret my decision.
I feel a swift and sharp pain in my neck.
"AGHH" I scream out in pain.
The pain continues as it feels like the person behind me is withdrawing my blood.
Then, my vision starts to go funny and the world fades to black as I fall limp.

Agh.... I don't feel so good... what... happened?
Ow... my neck hurts...and so do my teeth.
I feel something soft and cushiony beneath me.
I slowly open my eyes, and to my surprise, I'm on my bed in my room.
Then it comes back to me... I gasp.
Was it all a dream?
I reach and touch my neck where it hurts, and when I see it again, there's blood on my fingertips.
Definitely not a dream.
I slowly get up and realize just how much my teeth hurt. And then, just like that, the pain was gone.
That was strange...
I decide to go to the my bathroom and see what happened.
I yawn, which hurts the wound on my neck, and then turn and look in the mirror.
No...n-no...

The person in my reflection.. wasn't... me.

I stumbled backwards and hit my head on a shelf behind me. I almost knocked over my deodorant, but I caught it just as it fell. I can't make any noise, and risk catching the attention of my mom or anyone who she could have invited over.

I look back at the mirror and flinch at my reflection once more.
It wasn't me. Is this a prank?
I scan the room for hidden cameras but find none.
This was real.

The reflection that I saw was a boy with red eyes. But this wasn't even the part that I was scared of.

I had... Fangs.

No no no... this can't be real... I-I'm still dreaming... I must be! I-I just. THIS ISNT ME!

I continue to stare at my reflection. It just didn't add up... what could this all mean... what could have caused it? Will I look like this forever?

These kind of questions start to fill my head and tears start to stream down my freckled cheeks.

I turn away from my reflection for a second, to wipe my tear soaked face, and when I turn back, it's gone. I look around the mirror, making faces and waving but it's no use. It's gone. I can't see myself.
Then I finally piece it together...
The red eyes, fangs, bitten on the neck, and no reflection...

Could I be...




a vampire?

No! That's crazy! Vampires don't exsist!
Or do they.....

I feel my eyes well up with tears for a second time. No... I don't want to be a monster...

I'm about the fall into another sob when I hear footsteps coming up the stairs.
I love my mom, she can't know about me... being a... monster.

I dive back into my bed and hide under the covers as she opens the door.
"Izu? Are you awake sweetie?" She asks.
"Y-Yes... I'm a-awake" I mumbles from underneath my comforter. I hear my mom walk closer to me. At the same time, a sweet aroma fills the room.
Ahh that smells good. Maybe mom is cooking dinner.

"Hey, what's the matter, why are you under your sheets?" She asks, nicely trying to pull back my blankets.
"No." I say, not answering her question, but instead, insisting on keeping my bedsheets in place over top of me.
"Ok sweetie... I'll give you sometime to rest, you know they found you in the front lobby, unconcious. If you need anything I'm right downstairs." She says as she begins to walk out my bedroom door, but I stop her.
"Hey mom?" I ask
"Yes Izuku?" She replies
"At you making dinner?"
"No, but I can if you like! Why?"
"You smell... good..."
