It's the year 2500. The world happened to get worse.

We need to bring this to awareness. Life's not a Disney movie anymore. Love does not exist. Marriages are shorter. Divorces seem normal. The world is ruled by a lifeless ongoing hell. A hell where just a smile can give ones whole world to another.

A smile is supposed to symbolize strength and happiness but in these times is represents desire.

Do you understand? Lust is the new 'I love you'. Drinking is the new 'Marry me'.

Music now is all about brainwashing 4 year-olds. The older generation died. And we thought it was bad before.

No one gets it but me. This world is fueled by hate and lust. And I think this is all due to our new friends who came to live in this world. Our friends called the vampires.

Mom always told me vampires exist. Everyone just seemed to forget about them. Anyone could be one. Maybe I'm just crazy.

I'm out to destroy them all. Then maybe we will sort everything out. ~Ashley

Who are they?! The guys in trench coats that keep following me. I don't know anything! They must be Vampires!

This isn't just a teenage outcast project anymore. I'm stumbling upon a secret. I've met 2 other people who think the way I do. Rico and Angelina.

Something doesn't add up. Rico and Angelina think so too. I'm scared. I'm going to get to a library as soon as I can-- something there should help me.

Wish me luck ~Ashley

Rico's a vampire. Angelina is dead I think. I'm too far in. The vampires are planning an attack soon. Don't you see we are enchanted in a spell?! Lust can kill. ~Ashley

Jasmine I know you will read this! I have to go into hiding. It's not safe I know too much. Please remember this date! March 12, 2506. Lust is a terrible thing! ~Ashley

I've hid for a long time but they seemed to have tracked me down again. This is my last note Jasmine. If I die you have to know this:
"Death can kill roses but can wipe out ignorance.
Beyond the pidgeons lie your last chance.
Lust is powerful, but only as powerful as you let --"

Everything ended there. All the notes. I couldn't understand why lust was such a bad thing. All I knew was that my older sister Ashley had been missing for 6 years now. Mom has been missing for 14 years. Freedom doesn't exist. We live by lust apparently. And I was afraid. 6 more days until March 12, 2506. Call me crazy but I secretly knew one thing from Ashley and her notes. Vampires are attracted to lust and blood. ~Jasmine E. Brooke
