Instead I am tiny, scrawny, eternally prepubescent, quiet and invisible. I have naturally dark green long hair which always sits in tight curls. Big brown eyes and pale skin. The complete opposite of my sister. My fraternal twin, she got all the good genes. She is taller, curvier, with blue long pin straight hair, big baby blue eyes and olive skin. Vampires are naturally pale, so olive skin is envied to blend in with humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She and I have never gotten along well. Mainly due to the fact that she see\u2019s herself better than me because that is what others have told her. \u201cOh, poor Zelda, she\u2019ll never get a good husband, not like Zayda.\u201d I am Zelda and my sister is Zayda. I\u2019ve heard things like that a lot over the years. But I always thought my parents loved me, thought I was beautiful since that is what both my daddies have always told me. But that was until I overheard my mother and sister speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zayda basically ignores me at home but at school is my bully. Despite this I love her deeply. I can\u2019t help or stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My parents are always kind to my face. My daddies always defend me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve gotten even more beautiful,\u201d I over heard my mother saying to Zayda one morning. Around a born vampires eighteenth birthday they go through a growth spurt. After that vampires hardly grow and stop aging all together in early adulthood. It is rare but occasionally vampires stop growing and aging younger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are eighteen and I haven\u2019t grown in years. I knew everyone &#8211; me included &#8211; thought that I had stopped already. But again, I never thought it mattered to my parents until I heard my mother and sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo self-respecting vampire would imprint on your sister,\u201d My mother says making my sister laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes. She\u2019ll have to settle for a human,\u201d Mum adds though forgetting our maternal grandfather was human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To a human I am beautiful but to vampires I am average. But that\u2019s not the problem. The problem is I have the body of a child. I\u2019ll probably struggle to even get a human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I honestly would be happy with a human or vampire. Only my mother and sister have something against breeding with humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only they don\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour sister will be awake soon.\u201d I am up earlier than normal. \u201cDrink the AB negative quickly.\u201d I listen in shock. \u201cDon\u2019t forget the synth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flashes of memories, not my own, run through my head. Memories of my mother\u2019s from when I was born to current day. Hours of memories, but only seconds past for me. I have always been telepathic. But it rarely happens and I cannot control it. As a child I thought it was normal so never mentioned how I knew things I shouldn\u2019t, so no one knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as I grew I realized it is not a common power and only works for me when I am stress, scared or angry and the person I\u2019m reading doesn\u2019t realize it\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally it happens with people at school. Never my sister or mother before now and never so much information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I see her memories, secretly favouring her first born, my sister. She only ever wanted one child, but had twins since our daddies are twins. She fed me half real blood and half synthetic, while giving my sister only blood, plus the second half that should have been mine. This continued until I turned thirteen which just so happens to be when I stopped growing all together. Hence why I look like a child. I was already aging slowly, so I look like a preteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From then on I was exclusively fed synthetic blood but always in real blood containers. My sister has been drinking double and replacing my blood since then. All to help her grow powerful. Synthetic blood is exclusively for adults because this reason, it doesn\u2019t have any of the nutrients to aid our growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stand there for a minute in a daze before snapping out of it and going in search of my daddies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knocking on their office door I head inside and they both greet me with bright smiles. I really love them. I\u2019ve always favoured them over my mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood evening Zelda. We were just about to come down for breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMother\u2019s been feeding me synthetic blood and giving mine to Zayda,\u201d I blurt out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They sigh and images of me tattling on Zayda comes to me from them. Every time I was telling the truth but they never believed me but humoured me. But not this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cZelda, this has to stop! You know we have never and would never buy synthetic blood. It is filth!\u201d One says then the other. \u201cYou know we love you, but-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I try to interrupt but they continue. \u201cNo! You can\u2019t keep telling tales and lying about your sister because you are lesser than her.\u201d My heart broke in that instant and I see regret cross both their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m lesser?\u201d I ask angry and upset, forcing myself not to cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, angel. We didn\u2019t mean that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe love you.\u201d They try to move closer but I exclaim \u201cSTOP!\u201d My voice holds a power I didn\u2019t know I held. They stop and their eyes glaze over. Before they have another chance I run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I leave the house and don\u2019t look back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With no friends and only my parents and daddies parents I take to the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t even know what I planned. I went dazed and confused, depressed and crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humans don\u2019t know about the existence of vampires and in the night light my hair appears black, so I am always mistaken for a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That night wasn\u2019t any different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sobbing on a bench an elderly woman, the grandmother type, approached me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter, honey? Are you lost?\u201d I stopped growing at thirteen but only look about eight. I have no curves, pubic hair or period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I broke down saying my parents don\u2019t want me. Instead of doing the norm and taking me to the police station, she took me home with her. I think she was lonely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She cooked me dinner and I ate it before I drained her of all her blood. I had the biggest rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_3127\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"3127\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/mazimai.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prologue A child of the dark, aka a vampire, I am meant to be beautiful, elegant and powerful.
