Chapter 1

I really did love my parents more than life itself.

Not that you would think that by my actions.

I had no idea what I was doing or what I had done until it was too late.
My mother was just about to call for an ambulance when I tore out her throat.

So I guess I was lucky in a way that she hadn’t actually called them yet.
I don’t think she even realised what happened to my father until she was already on the ground.

More about that later.

Now back to the present.

It has been about ten years since then and I am still not sure how I ended up like this.

I am sure I was not bitten. I even checked myself over multiple times to make sure I hadn’t missed anything.

The last year though, I had been feeling a bit down, not what you would think of when you thought of someone like me.

I live in a basement apartment. I haven’t really left it more than once a week recently.

I just spent my time laying in the dark and looking at the ceiling.

I know boring. But what would you do. It’s not as if I am going to age. So I still look pretty good.

Tonight was the first time in more than six days I had left my domain.

Last time I went out I picked up a man and took him home.
I had sex with him and then I drained him. Enough so he was still alive. But also enough so he wouldn’t wake up anytime soon. But last night he finally died, that’s why I’m out again tonight.

To fill up my fridge.
Sex was never very satisfying with people. But it’s better than nothing and at least its company for me even if they are knocked out ninety percent of the time.

I could never go to the same bar more than a couple of times, just in case someone recognised me.
So tonight I was going to a club I’ve never been to before. So I wasn’t sure what to expect.

I heard about it from few people who I met on the Internet for the blood letting and trying to find real vampires. So as you can guess I was a little cautious.

I had just come to the road which the club was on.
I looked around for a club called ‘Mortensons lust.’ Apparently named after the owner great love.

After about twenty minutes of searching a short two hundred foot long road.

I finally found it hidden in a dark corner on the south side.
It had a tiny sign above with a big locked door in front with a little hatch.

“What the hell?! Am I on fucking movie set?” I said out loud in the almost completely abandoned street. “Is it closed?” I walked up to the door and looked around again for any signs of life.

I couldn’t see or hear anything from behind the big steel looking door, so I knocked and waited.

I was just about the go to my next bar location when I heard the hatch open.
Some eyes looked out at me and closed the hatch again and proceeded to open the door.

This made even me a little nervous.
As soon as the door opened I heard loud live sounding music coming from inside and a beautiful woman with pink hair and a piercing just below her lip greeted me.

“Well, hello, I haven’t seen you here before, Come in, I’ll lead the way,” She said smiling and grabbing my hand.

She almost dragged me through the door, past a quite large scary looking lady in a black suit, probably the bouncer.

“Hang on, all the people we seem to be passing are females,” I thought to myself.

“Is this some kinda lesbian club?” I asked the pretty pink lady trying not to sound too abrupt.

She just laughed for a few seconds. She then stopped and grabbed hold of my face like she was going to kiss me. She pushed me up against the wall and looked deep in my eyes.

“There is a lot of women here for sure, but it’s not a lesbian club. But for you…” She looked me up and down again. “I can be.” She then leaned in and pressed her lips deep into mine.

I think I was actually starting to like it.
I was kissing her back, when I heard a cough behind the pink woman.
She suddenly stopped.

She turned to look at the person, with an annoyed look on her face, but that quickly turned to what looked like sadness and disappointment.

She looked down at her feet and just said, “Sorry.” And pointed me towards an arched doorway and she left.
While I was still in the same position when she left.

I looked to see what had stopped her so suddenly, But all I saw was a black figure disappearing through the archway.

I straightened myself up and took myself into the ladies which was just before the arch.

That man had annoyed me and I had to calm myself down. I could feel myself turning rabid.

I went into the stall and placed my head between my legs, when I heard the door open.
There were only two stalls in here and one was out of order, the person who just came in knocked on the door of the stall I was in.

I tried to ignore her, but she kept banging. “Is anyone in there? Can you hurry the hell up?!”
It was like I just snapped, I felt nothing just blood lust. I stood up and opened the door.

“Finally, took long a fucking ‘nough!” She then went to push past me.
But it was too late I grabbed her by the neck and pulled her towards me and dragged her in the out of order stall, kicking the door closed behind me.

She seemed to turn mute, too terrified to move or anything.

I stared at her pulsing blood vessels in her neck with my now red eyes and razor sharp teeth.

I couldn’t take it anymore, I sank my teeth deep in her neck draining her completely within minutes.

I pulled myself off her now she was dry and taking a mouth full of flesh with me as I went.

I just ate it and exited the stall, making sure the out of order sign was still up so she wouldn’t be found until morning.

Walking over to the sink I looked in the mirror, I still looked pretty good considering.

I checked my teeth now normal and my eyes. “All clean,” I smiled.

Brushing my hair and I put lipstick on. Yes, real vampires can still see themselves in the mirror.

Another person came in the restroom. I just smile and walked passed her normally and went out the exit.
Now time to find that man.

I walked down through the archway and towards what I guess is the main room.

This is not in the slightest what I was expecting it to look like.

I stood with my mouth slightly open. At the top of a small set of stairs that lend down to the main room which was not the normal dark dirty place like the rest of the building.

It was bright, with white walls, gold edging and decorations. It had a light grey marble floor with red rose petals scattered everywhere and the ceiling had an interesting pattern and a crystal chandelier.

It is a ballroom. “What the hell?”
Everyone had a venetian masquerade masks on, the women pretty gowns and the men smart style clothes.

A lady dressed in a maid style outfit walked up to me and handed me a pretty red venetian masquerade mask and pointed to put it on. Yes, I love red, I am a vampire and a girl after all.

Lucky I was dressed in a pretty red dress today, so I didn’t look out of place.

I placed the mask on and headed down the stairs.
I stopped at the bottom and looked around. There was a stage on one side what a rock band on and a Bar on the other side, even the staff had masks on.

Apart from the obvious the club seemed like a normal club. People drinking dancing chatting and of course making out.
I was taken back a bit by the whole thing that I forgot for a minute why I was there.

Then I saw him. He was the only one in full black clothes and mask – very Gothic – almost white skin.
He was standing by the bar, speaking to the man behind it.

Having heard about it from the people I did I guessed it was probably some kind of vampire style or gothic bar. Which would explain the dark man, but It surely couldn’t be looking like this?

It looked more like I had gone into some weird parallel universe.

I stood for a second thinking what to do. I wouldn’t walk over and make a big deal of the whole kiss thing, I wouldn’t mention it at all.
I would just be nice, take him home and that would fix everything from the week.

Walking other towards him, I felt a wave all of a sudden engulf me. Frozen to the spot, what was that smell and that feeling.

I couldn’t get rid of it or figure out what it was. So I just tried to shake it off and ignore it. I started walking over again to the bar.

“Can you get me a Tia maria and coke, please?” I asked getting the barman’s attention and the dark man. I had after all just interrupted their conversation and I look hot.

Pasting me my drink, the barman looked me up and down spending extra time on my chest area, then bring his gaze back up to my eyes.

“I haven’t seen you before, where you been hiding?” Trying to flirt with me.
“Around,” I just gave him a one-word answer and turned around on my seat and looked at the stage while drinking my drink.

Out the corner of my eye, I could see someone coming over.
“Fancy some fun?” A quite handsome looking older man asked.
But he smelled really bad. I cover my nose a little, “Sorry, I’m waiting for someone.”

“If you change your mind, I’m Edward, hope to see you soon,” He kisses my cheek and walked off.

I was sat there for quite some time and asked by dozens of men similar question, but I had my eye on only one. So they all got similar answers.

It was starting to look like I might have to go to him myself.
Not sure if he would be interested though, because the same as me, lots of people came over to him, but were sent away.

It was coming to the end of the night, so I had to get someone soon.

Turning to the barman, I ordered another drink and went to pay my tab, which I hadn’t all night.
Holding out a handful of cash, “I would like to pay my tab.”

The barman pushed my hand back to me, “It has already been taken care of.”

This often happen. A man would buy me a lot of drink and expect to take me home in return.

I rolled my eyes thinking it was probably Edward or one of my other admirers.

“Thanks,” I said standing up and started to leave, not wanting to be forced to feel indebted to anyone.

After all I had fed already tonight, so I will just come out again tomorrow.
I know I’m a little feely for a vampire. But that’s why I need help.

Coming to the top of the stairs, I went to take off the mask and hand it to the same woman as before. “You keep it. We’ll see you tomorrow,” She said stopping me and smirking.

I smiled nervously back at her and exited the building.

Walking home, I swear I was being followed. Probably just worried about the sun, which was due in an hours time.

Now outside my apartment and could still feel someone watching me.
I stopped at the door and began to take my keys out and in a second I could feel and smell it again.

Still feeling like I was being watched to I knew in a second that it was connected but how.
