I have to admit that I am bit daunted by the new perception of a vampire. Romanticism has created a parody of the legend: gaunt and sickly has been replaced by prim and sensual. The creature is more Don Juan than Vlad the Impaler, more passionate kisser than frenzied blood drinker, more dreamy than nightmare, more sentimental lover than cold solitary hunter.
I am baffled by this overt need to change a fiendish anomaly into some kind of avatar of love. At its best, a gifted vampire can appear suave and debonair, but this is merely a masquerade, a deception to dupe the unsuspecting and easily charmed. This ability to interact with society is a tool and nothing more, as much a hunting mechanism as a tiger’s claws. And like a tiger in high brush, the vampire possibly uses an air of nobility to ambush its intended prey. I view it as an adaptive response to its environment. Meet a vampire in the woods and geniality and etiquette will be replaced by ravenous hunger and perverse delight. Make no mistake; the beast is always waiting to pounce.
I guess I can understand the eroticism of blood drinking and the allure of immortality, but why erase the drawbacks? In doing so, authors have created a near perfect creature, that when compared to a human, seems a divinity. I find this deplorable. Whether it’s because of interactions, deals, and unions or in becoming, the repercussions make the monster. Take those away and you no longer have a vampire… You have an angel, with a penchant for drinking blood.
Apparently words have a more profound effect on a creature of the night than any crucifix, vial of holy water or clove of garlic. I guess I am out of touch with trends, and my revelry is dragging…
This is a paranormal romance of sorts, yet it isn't. More of antithesis to what is considered mainstream and popular. It’s a short piece, but I believe that the narrative packs quite a punch... or in the case of you vampyre aficionados, a bite.

***HIGHEST RANKING IN VAMPIRE*** #3 - 26-9-2018 #4 - 13-8-2018 and 23-09-2018 #5 - 29-8-2018 and 5-9-2018 "What happened?" It's all I can muster at this stage but I figure it's a place to start. "You had a head injury and passed out. I cleaned you up and put you in here to rest." His voice is now calm, much different to what I heard from the other room. "You said you cleaned me up. Did you also change my clothes?" I recall his words and am almost too shocked to ask about his invasion of my privacy. A devilish smile crosses his lips as he coyly looks at his feet. He is enjoying my embarrassment. "You're clothes had blood on them and I wasn't about to put you in a clean bed with dirty clothes on. Trust me; you have nothing I haven't seen before." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vampires are real and after an eternity of hiding, they have chosen to let the world know of their existence. But when they emerged from the shadows, they were met with hostility and discernment. It wasn't long until they were segregated from humans and forced to live in Vampire Only areas while the rest of the world went on with their lives. Fed up with this malicious arrangement, the vampires waged a war on mankind and came out the victors. Mankind were forced to retreat behind concrete walls designed to keep vampires at bay and this is where they stayed for decades. Evie is a human that has just fallen victim to a trap set by vampires so that she can be used as a source of food or even a plaything for a high bidding vampire. But to her bewilderment, she is taken to Alex. A dangerous and high ranking vampire that enjoys toying with his victims. Knowing how precarious this vampire is, Evie still can't shake the feeling that his striking blue eyes are reminiscent of something but what. But what lengths will she go to find out more about him and every other vampire? I guess it's true what they say. Opposites really do attract.Complete
The Book of Voltaire: Descent To Madness
I'm an emotional dependent vampire. I do not need to feed on mortal blood, all I need is people's energy. I give them a good laugh, and I absorb that positive energy. If I were to absorb negative energy, I would feel worse than they do. Not only that, I am also a delusional psychic. Being a delusional psychic gives me pros and cons of my daily life. 50/50 of my premonitions are either delusion or any actual foreshadowing of the future like a seer and the way I could read people's minds so easily. I have this profound power of knowing things instantly that is impossible for me to even know, to the point that I shouldn't even know them. It is a creative and intuitive talent that helps me write books as I could use clairvoyance around the surrounding area and beyond, in order for me to write as much as information as I can. Such as "auto-writing" while astral projecting.Complete
The Ice Around His Heart MxM Twilight Fanfic
The ice surrounding his heart could only melt in the right hands, but you can't blame him if those hands are the hands of a werewolf. Winter After being left for dead in the cold snowy forest I was offered a choice. A second chance, or a cold numb death for animals to scavenge. I chose the first. I was never the same. I built a wall thousands of feet tall and as cold as ice. Nobody has ever seen the true darkness that lurks within me besides Carlisle, if only because he was front and center to watch it unfold. Now I lock it up. Stuff it in a box that I refuse to open. Many years later, when my family has grown and flourished, the border that the treaty prevents the Cullen, my vampiric family from crossing starts to call for me like a moth to a flame. I try to resist it, but soon I no longer can. That's the day that I see him. Jacob When wolves turn 18 we gain the ability to scent our mates. When my birthday hits, I know she's close by. I can practically taste her smell on my lips. When I follow the delicious scent that's supposed to lead me to my future, I'm not expecting what I find. My mate. Not a gorgeous woman. But the most beautiful man I've ever laid eyes on. We stand just a few feet from each other, but we can't touch. Can't feel. Can't mate. Because it stops us. The border that separates the Cullen's, a family of "vegan" vampires, and my pack. We are mortal enemies. So how is he destined to be mine? This book took inspiration from cold-hearted by Salem Cw- non-detailed sa of main character chapters 1
Transcendent Thirst
"What I was going to say was selfish..." He mumbled. I edge closer to him until my hand slowly cradled his cheek. Tilting his head up to look at me. "Please let me know what it was." I beg him pathetically. He begins to chew his lip and that's when I knew he was nervous. Nervous about what? I'm not exactly sure. "With everything I said...I was going to say at the same time...never...leave me." He confessed painfully almost. That's when I lost all sense of control and pressed my lips onto his. Kissing him with all my strength and all the built up desire that's accumulated. I continued to kiss him until at some point my tongue made it's way into his mouth. Tasting a sweet flavor that I've never encountered. As I got deeper in the kissing I feel myself fly back into a tree. Slammed against it that I felt myself lose my breath. Trying to catch it, I look up at Achille. His eyes were now a crimson red that intrigued me. He shook his head and suddenly he was gone in a blur. Confused, I stood as I had to pop my back from the hard hit into the tree. Looking in the direction Achille ran off, I knew I couldn't see him because it'd be a blur. Always thought it was fascinating how when he runs you can't see it. Being a vampire must be...fascinating. Yet he makes it out to be hell. I can't understand that kind of complicity of being a vampire and the issues. I get it, they drink blood. Though there's multiple things beside humans that offer blood! He acts like it's so horrific. I would love to know what it felt like for a day. Just one day...Complete
Her Seduction | ✔
• N O T A F A N F I C T I O N • The things I do are not for pleasure or entertainment. I do them for the sake of revenge. I seduce Vampires, drink their blood, take their money and leave them in an uncomfortable situation. Of course I can drink their blood, as long as they are not an original, a Pureblood. Purebloods are very dangerous, very strong and very beautiful. They are the ones first born and cannot be killed. They can kill anything, even normal Vampires, with just one finger of theirs. Their blood is extremely dangerous to normal Vampires, it can kill us starting from the inside and finishing on the outside. That's what I was taught. So one night, when a beautiful, supposed-to-be Vampire caught my eyes, I decided to make him my prey. But catching his attention was the biggest mistake I've ever done. Bad move. He was a Pureblood. ~ ✧ ~ ✧ ~ ✧ ~ ✧ ~ WARNING: I WROTE THIS STORY WHEN I WAS 14/15! THIS WAS MY FIRST STORY ON WATTPAD SO IT WILL BE VERY CRINGE!

The Dark Rose 🌹 {18+}
[COMPLETED] ೋღ🌹ღೋ He stands roughly a few feet away from me, his body towering over my crouched one. I bring my legs up to my chest, pushing myself further into the wall as he kneels down towards me. He brings his nose to the crook of my neck, my face grimacing as I await for the pain. He breathes in, "hmmm, you smell so delicious." He coos, his breath fanning my neck, causing me to shiver In disgust. If only my brothers were here... "Wheres a delicacy like you been hiding this whole time?" His use of words has me on edge. His implementations imply that he's some sort of cannibal and judging from what he did to that other man I fear I may be right. I refuse to answer him, spitting in his face. My face bounces of the wall, the sting of his slap left behind on my cheek. I shake the pain away, placing a facade up to hide the fear within. You fucking bastard! I narrow my eyes at him, taking note of his features in case I miraculously survive this encounter. His hair is a dark auburn and his eyes that watch me with amusement are a dark blue. His attire was a black suit which seemed out of place considering he was standing in an alleyway. If I manage to escape I want to be confident that'd I'd be able to have this bastard put behind bars. Again if... His eyes shift, my eyes widening as his eyes turn from a dark blue to a pool of black, red veins trailing along from his pupil to the edge of his eyes. His voice is dark as he commands, "Show me that pretty little neck of yours." ೋღ🌹ღೋ ⚠️ Warning!!! This book is extremely dark and has depictions of Mature language, violence, sexual activity, sexual and physical abuse, including rape. Rape is a serious crime often overlooked where the victim is made to believe it is their fault. I do not condone rape however, it's a reality. Please only read if your 18+ and with caution. This book will be updated weekly. Possibly sometime more or less depending on how busy I am.Complete
The King's Queen
#7 in vampire #1 in queen The world has gotten boring to him after living for many centuries, through many generations. He thought of it as a curse. His gift was anything but a gift, in his opinion. He loved killing people. He always has. He enjoyed seeing the life being drained out of them, quite literally. He always drank every last drop of their life essence, he didn't have mercy. Though he was the king there was something he could never have unlike others of his kind. A soulmate. He hadn't been turned or born from vampire parents. No, he was born a monster from human parents. The first of his kind. Why he was born like it, he didn't know. He didn't care. All he knew was that he wanted to die already, since he had no mate to look forward to. He lived because he couldn't die, at least not physically. He had no reason to live, but many reasons to die and even though he tried many times by many methods, none of them suceeded. He staked himself, on multiple occasions. It felt like a needle piercing his skin. He hung himself. He didn't die, but he hung there, very much conscious. He went on the gillotine. It made his body dissapear and reappear in the same spot he was born in. He took his heart out. He grew one back. He bled out. His blood regenerated. He used silver stakes. They burned his flesh. He overdosed. It did nothing since drugs, alcohol and other dangerous things do absolutely nothing to him, except get him under the influence to a certain level. But none of them filled the emptiness in his heart. He just needed her. But all he got were unimportant girls he used and forgot about. He never felt anything for them. He couldn't. But then on that day while he was walking around a small town's forest, he felt the emptiness slowly being filled up a bit. He stood there in shock. He couldn't believe it. He almost cried of happiness, right then and there. He had her. He had a mate. His mate. His one and only mate. His Queen.Complete
