• I felt different. Yes, there was the burning in my throat, but there was something else. Hmmm… I got distracted then, and looked at him, for my gaze had wondered off.

    “And you thought that you could just make me you little friend” I said, starring up at him, it was daytime now. Hmmm, wonder why we aren’t burning… oh well.

    He stared at me furiously, but then relaxed. “Guess so” he said casually, and kicked a rock a good 300 feet a way. I stared after it, wondering how he had got it to go that far, then I realized yet another thing. Oh, that feeling coursing through my muscles was strength, and lots of it. I reached down and pushed at the dirt, it gave way easily, though it was very hard clay-like dirt, as I had reason to know. I lived here.

    “Hm”, I murmured, and stood back up. All of a sudden, the burn in my throat was all I could think about, and I tried to stifle it. No I couldn’t hunt a human…. But I had to! What else was I going to do?

    I started walking away from who ever that was, sniffing at the air. I was trying to find a scent that would promise to satisfy this ache. I heard footsteps following me. That’s just fine; he can follow all he wants.

    Around 2 hours later, two hours of walking around, I came across a sent. It was wonderful, a beautiful scent, and it overtook my mind. It was so delicious smelling, that it could only be human, so I stalked toward the smell, not in control of myself.

    Then I saw a young girl, around 12 or 13, sitting at the side of a river, all alone, just as I had been…hmmm how long ago? Whatever. She looked so innocent, so sweet, that it stopped me cold. I couldn’t hurt this young girl, who’s life had just begun to start off. I remember when I was that age, a hard age. I was 20 now.

    I walked up to her, completely aware of someone behind me, and sat down next to the girl. I had to protect her from the other vampire, but this would be a hard feat. Her smell was over wellming, but I pushed it back, tried to ignore it.

    “Hello” I murmured to her. Her head snapped up, and she looked startled, then she relaxed, and looked at the river again. I looked behind her and I, and saw him getting ready to spring at the girl. No! I thought. I jumped up in the nick of time and stopped his attack.

    “No!” I screamed to him. His fangs had come out and he was trying to get past me to the girl. The girl, I might add, who was now cowering in fear. I tried to hold him back, but I was no match for him. He slid by me and jumped to the girl and then her life was gone.

    “What did you do that for?” I screeched at him. He had just murdered someone. I jumped on him and pounded him with my fists, he just hurled me off and when he was done, turned around toward me. His eyes were bluer then they were before.

    “I was thirsty” he explained, confused. This got to me; he had just killed a little girl, and didn’t even care. Rage overtook me, and what happened next, happened in a blur.

    What had happened, was I had lurched for his throat, and he was so surprised that he had fallen over. Then my teeth had ripped into his skin… well, lets just say he now did not have a head.

    I was sitting in the shade of a tree, horrified at myself. I had never killed anything other than the occasional spider, and I felt horrible. I had just killed a vampire, who had killed a girl right before my eyes. How sad. Two lives had been lost, in a coarse of a couple of minutes. What was I to do now? I would not kill a human, that was for sure, but how long could I last without blood? I didn’t know.

    My first route of thought was to kill myself. I hated what I had become. This course of action did not go well. First, I tried jumping off the cliff that was near my old house. I had hiked to the top, a good 400 feet off the ground, and leaped over the side. I had felt like I was flying, not like I was falling. I had jumped feet first, and I landed feet first.

    All I did was make a dent in the ground, no harm done to me. Humph. After that I tried for days, and couldn’t find anything that worked. Finally, I became too weak, and moved nowhere.

    I was sitting in the shadow of a tree, when a thought came to me. No, I would not kill a human to drink their blood, but what if I found a blood bank? Drinking donated blood didn’t hurt anybody, plus I had given my fair share to those company’s, its time they gave me something back.
