I'm Julia Moore, 16 years old and alone, and when I say 'alone' I don't mean 'I don't have a boyfriend' alone, I mean I have no one. I'm alone, I don't have any friends or family members that I know of, they've all either left me or they died, most of them died. The ones that left me had a very good reason to leave me, I'm not normal, I'm the reason those other people died.
I don't ever try to make new friends or look for my family members, it's better if they don't know I exist. I usually run away from friendships and relationships, I've been running away from people for a few reasons. One reason is because I don't want to hurt anyone. Another reason is because I don't want to get attached to anyone, if I do get attached to someone they're gonna die, I don't wanna see people die anymore.
Saying that I don't wanna see people die anymore is weird to me because I kill everyday, but it's not like I enjoy killing people, I kill people to survive. I kill by drinking their blood, it's the only way I can survive. I only drink human blood when I really need to, sometimes I even starve myself to keep others safe. Sometimes I can't help it, sometimes I just go after the first person that I see. This is why I'm never going to be normal.
I had an older brother who was like me, a Vampire, his name was Steven, he disappeared, I have no idea what happened to him, well I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure about them, I mean they could've took him, I don't know, hopefully not, if they did he'd probably be dead by now, ugh I don't like thinking about him being dead, I really miss him.
He was a little bit over 22 when he disappeared. He disappeared almost 5 months ago, only a month after his birthday, I've been on my own ever since. He would take really good care of me a lot, sometimes I would get annoyed at how overprotective he was of me, but now I miss it, I miss his hugs, I miss being with him, I miss my parents, I miss being a kid, being a kid was much easier, it's really sad that mine had gotten ruined.
I was almost normal, well not really I started off normal, normal parents, normal school, normal life. Everything was so much better back then, and then I started having problems with my heart, it slowed down, and it stayed like that. My parents were worried so they took me to the hospital. The doctor couldn't find out what happened, they kept me there for a few more hours so they could give me an X-ray and I had to wait there in the hospital for a few hours for the X-ray results. I don't why we had to wait so long but I overheard the doctor say something like "I've never seen anything like this before, I don't know what made her heart stop but we are going to try our best to find out what happened and how we can fix it but it's not going to be easy so we are going to be awhile and she has to stay here at the hospital just to make sure nothing else happens to her and if something does happen to her we can take her in right away." So I took a nap in the hospital bed.
. . .
I woke up about an hour later, exhausted from sleeping on that hospital bed, it was not a very comfy hospital bed, which was the reason she only had an hour long nap.
Her dad was sitting beside her hospital bed. "Good morning, sleepyhead"
"It's not morning" I said, covering my face from the bright lights on the ceiling.
"You're right, it's 5:36pm, you didn't sleep very long"
"Yeah I know, these hospital beds aren't as comfy as they look" I said, sitting up on my butt.
"Ah yeah, to be fair, they do look pretty comfortable"
"But they're not" I said in a singsong-ish voice, while smiling at my dad. He let out a chuckle and smiled back at me.
A few seconds passed by and he finally said "So, uh, are you okay?"
I replied with "Yeah why wouldn't I be?"
"Uh, your heart slowed down?" He laughed at my forgetfulness.
"Oh yeah, haha almost forgot about that part." I laughed at myself
"You woke up in the hospital bed, how could you miss that?" He chuckled.
"I don't know, I guess my mind was somewhere else!"
"Okay, but are you feeling any pain?" He asked, with a concerned face.
"I'm fine, I promise" honestly, I didn't feel any pain at all, my heart didn't hurt.
"Really? Maybe you passed that stage already" he said the last part under his breath.
"Wait what stage? For what?" By this time I was really confused, a bunch of questions flying around in my head, ready to burst out any second.
"Oh uhm, did you ever happen to have major headaches or stomachaches or heartaches yet? Or maybe even pass out-" I cut him off.
"Wait dad, you're scaring me, what's going on? What stages?" I replied.
"I think I know why your heart slowed down."
"Wait why did my heart slow down? And why don't I feel any pain?"
"I think your like my mom"
"What do you mean your mom? I've never even met your mom! I have no idea what you mean!" I yelled at him, confused.
"Shhhh be quite there could be other patients sleeping!" He yelled very quietly.
"Fine! But what do you mean I'm like your mom?!" I yelled back at him quietly.
"I mean your a Vampire!" He yelled quietly back. Silence filed the room, my jaw was wide open. What did he mean by Vampire?! How did I become a Vampire?! I thought Vampires didn't exist! All of these questions flying in my head getting ready to birthstone out of my mouth, but nothing came, I sat there with my jaw still wide open, staring at my dad in disbelief.
"Wait your mom was a Vampire?!" I asked, surprised, I mean I was just wondering what she would look like now, like most old people look old, but apparently my grandma does not look old, I think.
"Yeah, you're a Vampire, she's a Vampire-" I cut him off again.
"Wait is she still alive? I mean of course she is a Vampire right? Then she must be alive! But do Vampires grow old? If these real life Vampires are anything like the Vampires in movies, this should be fun! Or not because some Vampires are mean-" he finally cut me off
"Yes, your grandma is alive and she looked like she is in her 20s the last time I saw her. And no, Vampires don't grow old. AND Vampires on tv are ALMOST like real life ones."
"Awesome!..... About the not growing old part, I don't wanna grow old" I said.
"Yeah okay, awesome!" He mocked me. "BUT you have rules and you have to learn how to control the hunger and you have to learn to protect yourself" protect myself? How was I going to protect myself? I was 11!
"What are the rules? Who is gonna teach me to protect myself? And who do I have to protect myself from?!"
"Well your brother is gonna tell you the rules, he is going to teach you how to control the hunger and he is going to protect you and show you how to protect yourself"
"Wait why Steven?! Why can't you teach me?!"
"Because Steven knows more than me" my dad said.
"What do you mean he knows more than you? About what?" I said.
"About the Vampires, Good Ones and Dark Ones. He will protect you from the Dark Ones."
"Who are the Dark Ones? What do they want?!"
One of the doctors walked in with the X-rays and some other stuff
Who were the Dark Ones? What do they do to people? Why do they hurt people? What do they want? I needed to talk about this with my dad again later. But I never talked to him about it again, we never mentioned it to each other again.
