You and Me
Hi, my name is Abby, Full name Abigail Smith, but please call me Abby. I just turned 17, and the vampires have decided to make themselves heard and known to the world. They seem to be taking over slowly, but it's becoming a problem, considering now we humans are classified as "pets". I am no pet, I have black hair piercings and watched my family get killed in a matter of 20 minutes by a man who wanted me for his "pet store" for the vampires. Vampires are horrible creatures, if you can even call them that. Or from what I heard, they are. Anyway, I have been in here since I was 7. Long time, if you ask me, and I have been tortured ever since. I don't take no for an answer. I've been in a holding cell for too long. I miss the sunlight, and I miss the cool air that I would have to breathe in while walking to school every morning. It's been 10 years, and it's been a very long 10 years. It's hard when no one cares about you and you're beaten because you're scared for your life. You don't know fear until you have this lifestyle. I just need to be saved by anyone. Travis, that's my name. I lost my mother to human hunters. Never have I forgiven humans, even if they had nothing to do with it. They are devil creatures, and we thought we were bad. I have dark brown hair and sky blue eyes, which change to red when I feed, but no need to get into detail. They have no idea what their own kind has brought to themselves. As my father gets older, he's getting me more prepared to take his place on the throne. He's also demanding I find a wife. That I am not looking forward to. I haven't wanted anything to do with a woman since my mother, but my dad also wants me to get a pet. Great. See what happens!! Will he be her knight in shining armour, and will she steal his heart and show him the love that he's been missing from his mother for generations? Or will he just throw her away or kill her? Read to find out!!! This book is under edit! Please be patient!Complete

|5X FEATURED · SPOTLIGHT STORY| Learning to cope with death is one of the most challenging obstacles any of us has to face, especially if that death is unexpected. When your whole world has changed, what do you do to overcome grief and keep your loved one's memory alive? *** I never knew how much trauma could affect a person until after my older brother died unexpectedly on August 17th, 2021. I came out of the experience as not the Victoria I was used to, but the Victoria who now had a massive hole in her heart. I come from a long line of fighters. My family and I pulled off different strategies to help us move on from such a devastating death, strategies that I am going to share in this book. Sometimes, the best way to overcome grief is to write about it. After all, writing is an escape to a different world where I still have my Green Guardian. These pieces and pictures I'm going to share with you are not meant to depress anybody, but to illustrate just how wonderful a person Matthew was. His story is sad, but it's a story of hope. His legacy remains in my heart today, and I want to share it because I know I'm not the only person who has lost somebody so unexpectedly. *** Ovid (on when his brother died): "iamque decem vitae frater geminaverat annos, cum perit, et coepi parte carere mei."
