The Curse of The Vampires (Book 1)

Chapter Two

Two thousand years ago:

Am I dead? I ask myself.

I feel numb and lost and all of a sudden I feel cold and lonely and like there is a ton of weights on top of me. That is when the piercing pain in my neck hits me and reminds me of what happened.

I was r***d and turned into some demon thing.

I open my eyes, and see nothing but darkness. Maybe I am dead, but I am in some type of hell. But I am a good person, so why wouldn't I go to heaven? I think to myself forlornly. I turn my head and see more darkness. I try to move my hand but it hits something hard and wood.

I realize I am in a coffin, but how am I still alive? I am six feet under the ground in a wooden box with no way to get air.... Wait, I can't get air..... But I can still breathe just fine?

Now is the time to try to figure out how I am going to get out of this stupid coffin. I kick my feet up and bang my hands on the top as well and with the first hit I break the top of the coffin with my hands. Whoa! I shouldn't be able to do that! I think to myself in shock and delight.

I claw at the dirt that lands on top of me and claw and claw and break some fingernails and am bleeding from the tips of my fingers. I don't know how long I go at it, but eventually I am able to claw and dig my way out of the ground. I look up at the sky to see that it is pitch black and I crawl out of the hole that is my grave.

I stand up and look around and see the headstone that says:

Aurora Aliston

Loving daughter and sister

Nineteen summers old

I can't believe it, I am dead to everyone. I look around to figure out where I am and notice that I am not that far away from home.

I walk all the way there, but I stay in the shadows of the trees that surround my home and watch my family through the window. I see Joshua walk by the window and he looks older from when I last saw him. The day I died. I remind myself in sadness, tears build up in my eyes and I let out a sob, knowing I have lost my family even though I can still see them, I won't just be able to walk up to the house, go in, and show them that I am still alive, that I am still me.

But I'm not the same person anymore. No, I am a monster now, just like the guy that attacked me! I just want to scream out all of my anger, frustration, and anguish. But I can't, not with me being so close to my family.... not my family...... Not anymore anyway.

I continue to watch them through the window and see that Joshua has a new baby sister. I start sobbing again. I have a sister that I'll never be able to fully meet. I see that Mother and Father both have sadness and distance in their eyes. Joshua tries talking to Mother but she ignores him.

"Don't you dare ignore your son. He, your new daughter, and husband are all you have left now." I whisper out loud to no one but to the empty air around me.

Mother looks at her son and they both hug each other and start crying. A tear slides down my cheek and I wipe it away. I notice that my tears aren't clear like they should be, they are crimson red, they are blood.

I hear someone take a step behind me and turn around. I look to see who it is and it is the man that has attacked and killed and turned me into whatever I am.

"Why did you do this to me?" I ask in anger.

"You remind me of my wife that I was taken from." He says with sadness in his eyes.

"So, you took me away from my parents? My brother?" I ask.

"I know now, that what I did wasn't right, but I can't change you back." He bows his head in shame. "I'm sorry."

I turn back to look ar the family that is no longer mine anymore, one last time before I turn and walk away.

"How long have I been dead for?" I have to know.

"All winter long. That's how long the process takes for your body to turn from human to vampire."

"Vampire." I whisper to myself.

"Yes, that is what we are called."

"What happened when you were turned?" I ask. I don't even know why I am talking to him since he turned me into this.... Vampire.... But maybe it is because I am able to talk to someone about all of this.

"My wife, Carla, and I, we had just gotten married and she stayed home and I went and got wankered. As I was on my way home, it was in the middle of the night and I was stumbling around and some woman had come up to me and, since I was too wankered to even think and when she offered me a good time, I accepted. She took me to her place and she had s*x with me and fed off me all the way to kill me, and when I 'woke' up, I was in a river naked and everything came back to me and I had tried to go home hoping that I hadn't messed anything up. She looked lost and dead inside. I went over to her and she looked at me and she screamed and I tried to calm her down, but she said that making myself look like her dead husband was a cruel and sick game. I told her that I actually was me, but she didn't believe me and then she started throwing things at me and accidentally cut herself on a piece of glass and as soon as I smelled the blood and liked the smell of it, I knew something was wrong, but I didn't care, all I care about was getting that blood."

"So, you got drunk, cheated on your wife with a vampire who turned you and you killed your wife by drinking her blood because you smelled it?" I ask shortening what he said.

"Yeah, that about sums it up." He says.

"And you had to turn me." I say sarcastically.

"Yeah."

And before I even know what I am doing, I have him up against a tree and he tries to kiss me on the lips, but I move my head out of the way.

"You are a f*****g idiot." I say and let myself turn to my vampire-self and bite his neck and drink his blood, and then I slam my hand into his chest and wrap my hand around his heart and yank it out of his chest and I watch as he burns to ash.

After that, I drop the ashes of his heart and turn and walk off. I continue to walk until I come upon a home and go in. I draw a hot bath and take off my dirty dress and get into the bath and wash all of the dirt off. I go into the bedroom where I find two people, a man and a woman, not much older than me, in bed and I go over to them and I get in bed.

I bite down on the man's neck first and drink his blood and like the blood off of his neck. I do the same thing with the woman and get into one of the woman's dresses and hide in the closet and go to sleep.
