Forever 17

Then I look up.

At first, I think it is a person.

But it isn't.

Its skin is pale and hairless, stretched tight over something inhuman. Its ears are pointed, its eyes are bloodshot red, and its mouth is lined with razor-sharp teeth. Claws gleam in the dark as it crouches over me like an animal.

My scream catches in my throat.

Before I can move, it lunges.

Its teeth sink into my skin.

Pain tears through me, white-hot and blinding.

This time I do scream, a sound so sharp it rips out of me into the empty park, but no one comes. No one hears.

The world starts to tilt.

The ringing in my ears grows louder until it drowns out everything else.

My arms go weak.

My body goes cold.

And then, slowly, I feel myself slipping away.

My last breath as a human, anyway.

Because after this, I become something else.

A vampire.

Forever seventeen.
