The work of a veterinary technician and a veterinarian are often thankless jobs.  

The veterinary team are tireless advocates for animal health and animal rights.  Many don't realize the heartache that is encountered each day at a veterinary clinic.  The work day is not full of cuddly puppies and warm, fuzzy kittens.  Many days are filled with the reminder that life is short and fragile and nothing should be taken for granted.

This is the story of how one bright-eyed little girl with a desire to save all sick and injured animals grew up and came to learn that not every animal can be saved.  This is the record of one veterinary technician turned veterinary student.

My thoughts are mine and mine alone.  All names have been changed to protect the privacy of those involved.

88 parts Complete Mature
The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake

Almost every night, I cry myself to sleep. Almost every day, I am reminded that I am not loved. Almost everyday, I am made fun of. Almost everyday, I go through an emotional night mare. I can't escape because my tormentors. The very cause of my night mares, live under the same roof as I. They are my brothers and no matter how much I try to avoid them, I am always the target of their abuse. {I don't own any pictures or media used in this book}
