Dimitri
"You really believe that putting clips in your hair is going to make you a professional hunter or a skilled fighter, and or maybe head of this house for when I can no longer? Do you think that your skills are going to grow by wearing pink and wearing girls clothing is going to fix your head?"
"There is nothing wrong with me! I like what I like!" I snapped at my father. His eyes were a deep red and his features grew monstrous. He was more than a little upset with me.
"Vous êtes stupide! Tu es une déception! I brought us here to further our safety and teach you kids to grow up trained and ready to protect your lives. And you come here, acting like a little b***h!" He said pushing me back into my drawers. I growled and looked up with anger.
"Get out of my room." I hissed. "Before I use my training for a better purpose." I licked my lips and tilted my head. My father crossed his arms and laughed.
"Your training? What training? Because you've won a few games and fights makes you a warrior? That makes you a skilled fighter? You lack confidence, you lack patience, and most importantly you lack the brains to fight an opponent that could easily tuer you, kill you." He snapped at me. He was serious about everything that he was saying. I couldn't even believe the fact that he was screaming at me for my hair clips. I was overwhelmed with the fact that he hated me for CLIPS.
"I don't care what you think! I am a good student, I do my duties, and I do what you ask of me." I said between his breaths. " I am a good son to you and this family. I do what is asked of me."
"You do what I ask of you?! I ask you to be a man. I ask you to grow up. I've asked you to make me proud." He said taking a step towards me. I took a step back readying for whatever he may throw at me. I didn't understand what he wanted from me. I give him all of those things. He turned to my desk and towards my small collection of hair clips and small colored hair ties. His lips curled into a smile I've seen often. He walked over to my clips and with speed that any vampire would be shocked for. He gripped them and looked at me.
"I want my son to be successful, I want my son to be a skilled fighter, I want you to be able to protect your self and your sisters when the time comes." His hands smoked and the clips melted within his hands. I felt my heart twist and my eyes started to sting. Why! Why did he have to ruin everything that I liked?
"STOP THOSE ARE MINE!" I said trying to run up to him and grab them but his other hand pushed me back and his strength out ranked number one. I could do nothing but watch as my prized possessions were melted to my floor. I felt a sharp twist in my chest and stood there holding back tears. I could even feel the monster in me stir and awake and it scared me.
"Honey please just stop fighting with him. Please." Mother said. I looked up and closed my eyes for only a second.
"Tonight is a hunt night. I will be watching you. Now get out there and be a man." He said gripping the back of my shirt. I turned to my sisters whose faces were bloodied and they stood there licking their fingers. I looked away in disgust.
"I don't want to kill or harm anyone." I snapped trying to get out of his grasp. He pushed me out side and stood up straight.
"You will be punished if you do not come home with at least one kill. Remember you can go after bums and the homeless. They have no one to remember them." He said and pointed behind me.
The anger was almost to much for me. I growled and punched the ground. I dented it only a little and turned and ran. I made sure there was more than enough distance between me and him. I ran to school. He can't find me there with all the students and such. I put my hood up and zipped up.
I'll show him what a fresh kill really looks like then he can never bother me again. Then he wont f*****g take everything from me and he can LEAVE me alone.
I ran all the way to school. On my way, trees zipped passed me like blurs. The grass was barely touched or harmed by my run. I didn't want any trace of me here besides maybe my scent.
I felt the anger and sadness cloak my brain like a wave. I felt nothing else but that. I let my claws out and I let myself turn into the horrid creature I hide away. I felt the fangs dip in my mouth my gums felt numb but yet so tingly. My brain started to revert to what I push to the side everyday.
Blood.
And that was it. I growled hating myself but loving the freedom that came with this form of mine. I had such a disrespect for myself in this form.
I got to the school and found my way to the campus middle square. I climbed quickly up into some thick trees and sat and waited. I smelled so many people and so many things. There were a group of girls with some guys just around the corner behind me. That's too many at once they'll see. I cant attack with so many people around. They will see me, I cant have that.
Not many bums come about the campus but a guard wouldn't hurt. I sat hunched on the tree branch perched like a cat waiting for a kill.
My father and his pathetic ways. Those were mine. Not his. How am I suppose to buy those without people get suspicious!
I heard a small step behind me and I whipped my head around feeling the training snap into place. I met eye to eye with vivid green eyes with a tints of yellow.
"What are you doing here?"
"I felt your anger. Why are you upset?" Forest said sitting beside me. I hissed and grabbed his wrist.
"I am not angry. I'm pissed. I'm proving to my father I am a good little servant and I will have him off my back tonight." I snapped. Forests eyes held a worried look and he pulled his hand back.
"You could hurt someone you love."
"Yeah? Like who? None of them have meaning in this life. Pathetic waste of bodies. They could be enhanced yet they think we are bad. Humans are pathetic."
"You don't think that. Your father has just hurt your feelings. Let's go back to my dorm. I'll make popcorn with cream cheese! " Forest smiled. I growled and turned away.
"I'll get my fill I'll meet you after." I went to step off but his hand was placed on my shoulder.
"I have bags you can have Dimitri." He said persisting.
His insistence is annoying me greatly. I understand his values but he isn't the son of my father. He wouldn't know.
"Just f**k off. I'll see you later. I'll clean up too before I go."
"You know who you are." He said before disappearing. I sat there for a moment but anger filled my mind again. f**k Forest and his stupid advice.
Whatever.
Then there it was.
I smelled it.
The sweet tang of blood filling the air like the smell of fresh coffee. It filled my senses and I felt a part of me suddenly go numb. My brain turned off yet turned on at the same time.
It's go time. I hopped down.
Everything was heightened, all my senses were sharpened and it made my own cold dead blood rush. I felt so alive but so dead at the same time. It was like life was death and death was just death. The air filled my lungs as I took a quick breath for the fun of it. I liked the fact that I was a predator. I was the hunter and nothing was hunting me. I was the only one right now in the dead of night. AS much as the feeling uplifted me there was apart of me that screamed to stop and realize what I was doing. But I wasn't doing anything no one my kind hasn't done before. As I ran to the source of blood I the chase was almost invigorating. I hated that I loved this feeling. I hated that I loved being the monster. How I could I just try to kill someone?
Because the one who told you to would be the satisficed one and you would be free of their grasp for at least a little while. Wouldn't that be amazing Dimitri? I asked myself.
Of course it would.
The blood was getting stronger and stronger as I neared it. The absolute pureness of the blood rushed to my head.
Get it..
Get it...
Get it...
I must get it, I must find it.
As I ran through the tall grassy areas I jumped from different walls to move faster and faster. I jumped through the air with the rush of chilled wind below me like waves of water. It was euphoric for me. I knew the reasons why vampires hunt and why they do what they do. But I cant condone it, but I love it so much.
"Where are you." I growled. I sniffed again and searched. The wind was pulling me in certain direction and I needed to find the right path right now. I jumped again through the air and searched quickly below me and then I saw them. It was a small human, walking alone in the dark. They had just left the bar and they didn't stop to think they should go with someone else. Silly humans.
"Got you." I jumped down and quietly followed them to a more secluded area where people cant come to help. They were so dainty and fragile looking. Easy kill. They smelled so yummy and so sweet. Their blood was so pure and yet so damaged. I could smell the natural fear in their body.
"I got you now. you are mine now." I whispered to myself. I crept up behind them and used my training to an advantage. They seemed so oblivious and so absent minded. They surely don't know what's coming.
The intense feeling of their body dead beneath mine was so exciting. The fact that I can just kill someone so simply was... crazy to me. I couldn't believe that I was doing this, will I regret this? I don't know but I do know that this feeling was amazing. How could I ever hate this feeling?
I wanted more and more. I wanted to explore this power and I wanted to know how it felt to be stronger than those below me.
Ha, what a power trip this is.
But I liked it.

Forest
I watched as he disappeared and shook my head. What a kid I swear. I smiled and sighed. I took my own detour to my room. I wanted to take a walk and just relax after a long day. Humans tire me out with their out door activities. I sometimes wonder if they ever considered just not doing anything and letting the world turn for only a minute. But the humans don't have a minute to spare when their whole lives are flashing before their eyes.
I took a small detour through the forest by the campus and decided I would just walk until I felt the need to find Dimitri. I couldn't believe he was going to kill someone in spite of his father. I cant fathom the fight was over probably Dimitri not being the prefect son and he caught him with his bunny clips. Not to sure why his father cares so much. My parents told me that I can become anything I wanted and I wanted to be a nice person but still go through training and such. As a vampire, you should be able to defend yourself and at least two other people if something were to happen. Its good to be able to help and defend rather than hunt and kill them. Humans are our source of food unless you're from the cold region, then it would be humans and animals blood. But as a vampire you need blood to live and in order to continue to have blood you have to protect the food. You should not be killing it and dwindling the population.
But that's the differences between our own kind and its not a pretty picture either. But oh well, you cant control everyone then you stay in your own lane. At least that's what my father and mother told me.
As I was walking through the woods I smelled a very wild scent and it wasn't any type of animal that I have smelled before. I felt my body hairs raise on my arms but I wasn't too alarmed. It could just be a wild dog. I was continuing my walk thinking about tomorrows class and tomorrows home work. I was wondering if I could honestly just skip tomorrow and make brownies and sit and watch some movies.
Suddenly I heard a small huff from behind me and I froze in place not moving. I smiled and shook my head. The presences was big, strong, wild, and in rage. I chuckled in my head thinking it was Dimitri and his stupid anger at his father. But this was different.
"You are a shadow of the woods and yet you're showing yourself in the moonlight? For me to see?" I said glancing behind me. The creature didn't move but it was hidden well beneath the brush. I didn't mind that I was being followed, it actually made me feel less alone if I am honest.
" Silly creature." I smiled and continued walking.
After walking to my apartment I had already knew what was coming.
I felt it in the air, but the night has only begun for a few of us.
...
(NEW POV ANNONMOUS)
Its been a few years since I have seen him and it kills me everyday knowing I am not there to make him feel better and comfort him, punish him, caress him. It made me shiver at the very thought of holding him again.
"Mister? Are you paying attention today?" My nurse said. I looked at her a little tired and nodded.
"Yes, I am fine."
"We are going over a few back fire type activities. Finding a root that's exposed." She smiled. I nodded and lifted my head up even more.
"Okay, here are some pictures of children that are playing at the park. How does this picture make you feel?" She said smiling. I shifted a little uncomfortable in my seat at the fact that she was showing me children at the park as if I would want them and want to hurt them.
"Nothing, why?"
"We want to expose any and every root that's hidden deep within you. We want to fix it that way when you can have leave with parole you'll be able to enjoy more of your life."
"If I ever get that. I am stuck here on many charges of-"
"Yes, Mister but at the same time you are here to be given a second chance and give a chance to be fixed. Lets get back to the activities." She interrupted. I nodded and continued to look at the photos.
"Now I have certain photos and the photos are of children in a class picture. Are you ready to look at it?"
"Yes."
"How does this make you feel?"
"Nothing. Its not the fact that its the photos, its the fact that its not my boy that I cared for so deeply. Every thing was ruined and honesty it makes me upset that you think that I would want just any kid off the street."
"Which do you prefer?"
"I wanted my boy. He was the best boy."
"Ah, because he listened?"'
"No, because he obeyed my every order and then even after he started to listen to everything I said and then it became his life and I was his life. I was his world and I was his person. Nothing can compare to him."
"I have a picture of him and I want you to identify all the marks on his body."
She took out a small picture of my boy and I felt my body heat up and my head get fuzzy.
"That's my boy, I love him so much." I said leaning forward but getting restricted only a few inches forward by straps.
"Yes, now can you identify what had happened to him this day?"
"Yeah, he was disobeying me. And I taught him that his actions have consequences."
"I see, did he understand?"
"eventually. I don't know why he wanted to leave me so bad to a bunch of people who didn't care at all about him." I said leaning back to my spot and just sat there. The room was quiet and yet loud at the same time.
"You realize he was about nine here right? It also seems in this photo that was taken... By you- that he has bodily fluids down his legs. Did you know anything about that? He was fairly young in the photo."
"I-No, I don't. It could have been his own. But the body marks are from me hitting him and being a bit to rough on him. He was my boy and I wanted him to be boyish but soft at the same time. He would be so easily hurt and it made my own heart jump for joy knowing I could hurt him but make him so happy at the same time."
"I see, I understand. I think this activity is going to be over. Tomorrow is going to be pretty intense and I highly suggest you get some rest, Mister."
