From the world of shadows and blood, light is very rare. No, let me restate that for you. Light...is impossible. It is so impossible that it just doesn't exist. There, i said it. Light does not exist.
And thank god!
Don't take that the wrong way, I'm sure light is wonderful to all you fragile humans that bask in it every single day. I see you walking by, laughing and chatting about nothing while those rays of absolute fire attack your various skins and-and i wonder how you even survive. Every time i stumble upon you guys, you are glowing with the heat of the sun.
And have i experienced the sunlight? On many occasions, if you must know. But unlike you fragile animals, it is not pleasant. The rays hit my pale skin and suddenly it feels like I'm a burning corpse. Yet when i try to put out the flames i find nothing but air. I think it would be funny to name it: Invisible Fire.
I'll have to run that by Alec...
Throughout my short existence i have found only one cure for this disease i carry: the shadows. I guess i shouldn't be surprised. I mean, I am a vampire. Shadows and darkness comes with the title. When you think of vampires do you think of fairies and bright sunny days? I think not.
Tch, and all those stupid movies and books that claim to know my race. Don't believe any of that crap. It's all garbage that Hollywood loves to shove down people's throats and watch 'em reenact the impossible.
As you might of noticed the sunlight does not kill me. Sure, it's painful to endure, but it's not fatal. I will not drop dead or explode into flames and dance around like a madman. No, sunlight is just...just painful light.
Holy water means nothing to me. I'll be honest i haven't tried throwing holy water onto my skin to see the wonderful effects, but if holy water was a threat then something would have been done about it a long, long time ago.
Yes i have a reflection and i am beautiful, if i may say so myself.
...and yes...i drink blood. I live off blood. The world is a dinner plate and everything that moves is a selection. A choice. "What to have tonight?" Yup, nothing better then living on your plate.
So, i know i am a creature born into darkness and a monster cast to the shadows for eternity, but i just don't quite understand something. I've been growing up as the monster i know i'll be fated to be, but i think something went horribly wrong.
One night i happened to meet someone brand new. She looked like a human and she had that glowing heat from the sun but-but she wasn't just a human...she was a witch. I don't know what happened but before i knew it we were friends. Suddenly i was trusting her with my secrets and she was telling me all of hers. Time became my enemy as we aged. But 90% of the time i had no idea how cruel time was being to us.
Vampires aren't known to befriend people outside thier race. Now i wish i could turn back time and redo everything. For the first time in my existence...yea, my existence...oh God, for the first time all i wanna do is live like her. I want to know what it feels like to smile. I want to be near people without feeling a lust for blood. I-I want to walk out into the sunlight and feel human.
Yes, something went terribly wrong. Somehow, in my eternal world of shadows, i have stumbled upon...light. But not just light, but a path to reach that light. On that path i see her leading the way and all i want to do is follow her.
But my world of shadows are chains and i know that i will never reach the light with her. My sins are large holes of sinking sand that i just cannot escape. My enemies are stronger and older and-and want to hurt the light. They're seeking the off switch.
In my world light is impossible. Blood drives everything, even the dead to keep existing but never living. I'm trying to reach the light she is leading me to, but it's hard. But i reach...i'll reach a thousand times...
...and she'll stand there, waiting.

Making up the Silence
To the past, or to the future. To an age when shadows find the light. From the darkest corner, from the brightest light at the end, from a vampire...greetings.
