The Silenced

My name is Anna. This isn't something you'd want. The media convinces people through books and television, they convince people that it's okay. But it's not. It's not a game, it's not fun. They glorify it as though it's beautiful, when in reality it's sickening. I survive through a hideous way. Being what I am, having the virus that I have, none of it is something you want. You don't want to be a vampire. No, I don't sparkle in the sunlight. I burn. I am a woman trapped in a teenagers body. I wanted to grow up, get married, have children. But the woman in red ruined my life, no- she took my life away from me. Anything I'd hoped to do, all my dreams, shattered. For years I searched for her, wanting answers, I wanted to know why she changed me. Then I wanted to kill her. But the company and the answers I attracted were anything but good. The people who came into my life wreaked havoc upon me, they ruined me. They turned me into the monster I'd always feared I'd become. This resulted in me making the worst decision possible. I killed myself. I jumped off of a cliff into the endless black waves of the pacific ocean. I couldn't swim and I knew this when I made my everlasting mistake. A common misconception about vampires, we don't breathe. But trust me, we breathe just like humans. Until someone else found me.
