was expected to die. The room was dark.
My vision wasn’t so good, so it seemed to be darker than normal. It was a stormy night, and lighting lit up the room, and the thunder kept me awake.
I had no idea where anyone was or if anyone visited me, since I was drifting, gained and lost consciousness.
I imagined everyone, all my friends, and family were outside my bedroom door getting some sleep, waiting for me to die.
I must have passed out again. When I opened my eyes the window was open. The lightning struck, and in front of me revealed a person standing in front of me. It was Ryan! “I’m here for you Annie.” he said gently. I couldn’t speak, I was too weak.
I could only whimper. Ryan came closer to my ears. “Would you like to see what’s out there Annie? I can make it all go away.
You and I can be together, forever, but you can never be the way you were. All you have to do is close your eyes, and this will all be over.” he whispered softly.
I gave in, and closed my eyes, I also felt my tears running down my face.
Ryan slowly came closer to my neck, and stuck his fangs into me. It did not hurt since doctors pumped me to death with their pain killers. I felt nothing more but a pinch. After several intense seconds, Ryan pulled his fangs away from me.
I was started to feel tingly, and I shivered since I felt a cool sensation. I suddenly opened my eyes, then took a deep breath , closed my eyes, and felt myself falling into a trance.
I was falling into darkness. Suddenly, I sunk into an ocean of water, which I felt refreshed. I woke up in paradise.
I found myself lying down on a shore. The sand was golden, soft, and the water was blue and cool. I opened my eyes.
There was a fresh breeze that felt great. There was not a soul in sight. I was alone in paradise. I suddenly noticed how starving and thirsty I was, but I wasn’t craving any food.
There was a man across from me on the island sands, naked, and fit. I walked to him. He seemed to be sun bathing. I sat beside him.
I suddenly had an urge to be closer to him. I noticed his vein forming in his neck. I made my way closer to him.
I suddenly felt my teeth lash out. I felt my fangs for the first time.
I looked at the man’s neck, through myself at his neck, and sunk my teeth into him.
I suddenly woke up back on the hospital bed, and I opened my vampire eyes.
Ryan held out his right hand, and I gave out my hand, and he held it. I didn’t know what was happening at first. I grabbed the mirror, and had a look at myself.
I was even prettier than I remembered, my heart was beating, and I was alive, but I wasn’t human.
Ryan smiled at me. “Are you ready to take on the world Annie?” he said softly. I looked at Ryan, and I smiled. It was still storming outside. “I’m thirsty.” I said. Ryan smiled. “I know how you feel, and we will go out to find you someone to drink.” he said. He took my hand. “You will love it, trust Me .” he said.
Ryan and I went toward the bedroom window.
We dropped right out of the window into the darkness. We ran all night in the rain. We ran without a care in the world. I was free, and I was happy.
We eventually made our way to Ryan’s home.
Ryan had an old cabin out in the forest, away from the town. We walked into his cabin, and it was very cozy.
Ryan loved to collect paintings. There were all kinds of collections up on his walls. He had many paintings of animal art, the wilderness, and nature. It was actually very relaxing to look at them.
Ryan had a fire burning in his chimney. We sat on the black leather sofas he had. Ryan and I talked the whole night. He told me about the vampire laws.
Makers and creators were never to be lovers; it was forbidden, and punishable by death.
Only one feeding per day was aloud. That was all that was required for any vampire. Going over one human per day was against vampire law.
Even vampires had laws and were tried to be civil.
