Why is it that people find a fascination in vampires? Why are they drawn to beasts that lurk in the night? Is it the power?  Or is it to make up for the fact that their lives are so incredibly boring.  Humans.  They have no idea that the vampires in their imaginations are actually my reality.  Vampires are apart of my everyday life simply because I am a vampire as well. 

Vampires live peacefully and silently with humans.  To keep this operation running smoothly we have a single strict government that keeps things in order.  It is run by pure-blooded vampires.    

        Humans cannot be vampires and vampires cannot be human.  Being bitten has nothing to do with it.  Its something you're born into, it's not a choice you get to make. Vampires cannot feed on other vampires either; a bite from another vampire is fatal.   These are basic laws and rules for us.  The most important, of course, is to not let the humans know we exist.

            I’ve learned not to feel sorry for my pray anymore.  One bite, some blood lost,  then they go unconscious.  Nothing special and tonight is no different.  I see my pray, Caucasian, male, around 23 or 24 years old, height 5.9ft., brunette, brown eyes.  Frankly walking in a park at 2:37 in the morning seems kind of stupid to me.  I jumped down from the tree that I was perched at to get a better view of him.  I stood on the ground peeking from behind the tree I jumped down from.  Hmm, by the way his pupils are dilated id say he’s been out drinking.  He’s starting to stumble, on his own feet no doubt, ill make my move now.  I sprang from behind the tree and grabbed him from behind.  I covered his mouth with my hands and slowly sank my teeth into his neck.  His warm, sweet blood filled my mouth and he soon pasted out in my arms.  He was a blood type O, the most delicious is blood AB but it’s only about once every two months when I capture an AB.  We vampires have to drink blood at least once a week.  Some have tried to go longer than this but their carvings are far too great.  I pulled my teeth at of his neck and pulled his limp body over to a park bench.

            A branch snapped.  My head jerked to the trees, someone, no, something is out there, watching me.  I got into a defensive position and let my eyes search through the trees.  I heard a familiar small giggle and knew it was safe.  I quickly got out of my defensive position and braced myself for a hug.  Sure enough it came.  My best friend Selena jumped out from behind a tree and threw me into a huge hug that nearly knocked me to the ground.

             “Selena?  What are you doing out here?  I thought you hunted yesterday.” I asked.  “We will be officially 12^th graders starting tomorrow!” Selena said excitedly, “I want to have tons of energy!”  “Oh yes school, what a joy” I said. “Don’t be such a party pooper!” Selena said, “Lets just have fun with it.” “Whatever…did u finish hunting yet?” I asked. “Uh uh” she said shaking her head. “Ok then I won’t keep you; try not to stay up to late kay” “Kay, later” she said turning around.  And with that she disappeared into the night.

Before I go any further let me tell you about Selena.  She is my best friend and I’ve known her since I was 7.  Selena is also one of the most beautiful vampires I have ever seen.  She has long shiny black hair and flawless skin. She could pass off as a model if she wanted too.  Her eyes are the main source of her beauty though.  They are a magnicent light blue, I believe that they have the power to hypnosis her people but it’s not exactly hypnotism.  Her pray basically get lost in them, their mind just goes blank. It’s rather interesting to watch. And yes we still go to school despite the fact that we aren’t human. The sun will not burn vampires to ashes.  This is just another myth made up by extremely bored humans.

            I looked around the deserted park then yawning and I set off towards my house, which was only a few blocks away.  I just reached the big gate at the end of the park when I felt someone’s eyes on me but the gaze didn’t feel dangerous.  It felt curious.  I searched through the night but saw nothing.  It must be a cat or a stray dog or something.  I disregarded it and continued on the sidewalk for 3 blocks then turn into a small ordinary house.  As I walked up to the door I still felt the gaze on me but thought nothing of it.  I never felt a need to lock the door, I figure if someone was going to break in when no one was home I would rather them walk in through the door then break a window.  It just seems like less trouble to me.  I headed for the stairs were my room and bathroom is.  Mom and dad’s room is downstairs; they should still be in London right now.  I have no idea why they’re there they just got up and left one day leaving me a note on the kitchen table.  It’s fine with me though, I like being by myself. 

            I should probably take a shower and get some of this dried blood off me, I don’t want it to stain my skin (Ha, I’m sure that would go over nicely to tomorrow).  I threw my clothes in to the floor and stepped into the shower.  I was apparently more tired then I thought the hot water almost put me to sleep.  I quickly got the blood off me, got out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel.  Then I went into my room and passed out on my bed naked and soaking wet.

            I never remember my dreams and tonight was no different.  Once again though I woke up screaming and struggled to breathe.  The only thing I can remember, the only thing I ever remember is blackness. I felt something wet run down my cheek.  I touched my hand to my face. A tear?  I’ve never cried before. Just what was I dreaming about?

            My thoughts were interrupted by an odd scent in the room.  Whose scent is this?  It wasn’t here when I fell asleep last night.  Which means someone came in my room when I was sleeping…but why.  I looked around my room to see if anything was missing or out of place.  There was.  In my lime green chair that sits by the window there was someone sitting there.  The instant my eyes landed on it the guy sitting there disappeared.  I got just enough of a glimpse of him to see what he looked like.  He had black hair that had blonde streaks in it and it covered one of his eyes.  He was smiling.  The one thing that stood out the most was his eyes; they were red, blood red.  I have never seen a guy with red eyes.  I know should be kind of scared right now but I’m more curious. 

            I sat there for a few minutes and tried to process exactly what had just happened…yeah I can’t figure it out.  While thinking these thoughts it finally hit me why I felt so, well, necked.  The answer was simple, I look down at myself and I was.  I forgot that I fell asleep in a towel last night.  My head jerked back up, I now know what that smile was about.  If I ever see that pervert jerk again I am going to beat the crap out of him.  “What’s that?” I said out loud while looking at the chair.  I causally got out of bed and walked over to the chair.  There was a single black rose that laid there.  I reached out and picked up the rose in disbelieve.  A black rose is a simple of marriage. In my world, only pure-blooded vampires can give other pure-blooded vampires black roses and since there are very few pure-blooded vampires still alive you would have no choice but to except it.  My jaw dropped to the floor and I started blushing like crazy. Oh my god.  I just got proposed to by a guy that I don’t even know.  I, I, I, I think my brain just shut down. I cant, I don’t…I need to talk to someone.  Dad’s still out of town, I know I’ll talk to Selena!  Selena….what time…is it? I slowly turned my head towards my nightstand were my clock lies.  Holy crap!  Its 7:30! School starts in 10 minutes!  Instantly my brain started working again. I flung myself into my closet and got dressed and ready to go at a speed far from human.  I emerged from my closet wearing a blue and black skirt that had a few chains hanging off of it and a black, tight t-shirt that had the shoulders slashed.  I topped it off by putting fishnets on my legs and my arms. By the time I was done and ready to go it was 7:33.  Perfect it will only take me 2 minutes to get there if I run, I just have to make sure no one sees me.  I ran from my closet opened my window and jumped out.  I hit the ground with ease and ran to school.
