Chapter one

My eyes flew open. I was freezing and something was surrounding me. I pushed my hand against it. It was cold. Harder, I pushed. My hand broke the top of it and soil rushed in, but my hand was free. I kicked the box as hard as I could and more and more soil rushed in. Slowly, I pried my self out.

I felt connected to everything. The worms in the ground; to the birds flying above me. All around me was a pulse. Something scurried across the ground, I turned quickly. I was amazed at my senses.

A new feeling, something clawing at me, telling me to feed. I felt the lust, for something. When a raccoon emerged from a bush I lunged at it. I was shocked at the power behind it. When I grabbed the creature I felt its blood rushing through its veins and the steady, but increasing beat of its heart. I lowered my mouth down to the creatures’ neck, and I felt my teeth extending. My hand flew to my mouth and I dropped the raccoon.

I ran backwards and hit a tree. Then a sound from the trees behind me, two people. A boy and a girl, walking. I felt their pulses, the girl faster than the boy. As I heard them near me I hid behind a headstone.

When the boy fell behind the girl to make his move on her, I leaped at the boy. Ignoring the girls screams I bent my head down to his neck. I felt the feeling of my teeth extending but I felt the monster inside begin to take over. As my teeth pierced his neck and I felt his blood begin to fill my mouth, the craving, the lust began to die down. The girls’ screams slowly got quieter and turned into weeping.

When I felt his body go limp and his pulse slow down to a stop, I dropped his body. The crescent moon shone through the trees and shone on the boy’s body. When I saw the weeping form of the girl beside him, I was over whelmed with the guilt of what I had done and fear of what I had become. When I reached for the girl she scooted away, with more tears pouring down her face.

“Get Away from me, you monster!” she screamed and stood up.

When she fled into the graveyard I felt something. I knew that I couldn’t stay here. I walked away from the body and stuck my hands in my pockets. I stared up at the sky and wondered what I had become. I wasn’t human, that I knew. Still I couldn’t help but wonder.

The stars glowed above me. With my new heightened senses, the pulse of the world around me seemed so alive. I was amazed that before, before the change it was not as obvious. Soon I hit that forest lined path that I had been on just a few nights ago.

Painful flashbacks hit me. Two men, fighting. The still curved lamp post stared at me. Evidence to what I had become. The answer chilled me to the core. I ran. I felt myself become shadow as I ran through the forest. When I felt the smell of dead, I halted. There lying on the ground was the dead boy I had killed. Grief hit me like an anvil from a cartoon. I had killed, this boy was innocent. But I had ended his life when it wasn’t deserved.

I knew I couldn’t stay by the body. So I ran further still, to the place where I had risen. There was a tombstone, one with my name on it. It read:

A bright spot in the world

I stared at it in horror. My friends, my parents! I fell to the ground, tears streaming down my face. When I looked up, I noticed the sky was turning a pale pink, sure signs of sunrise. I wasn’t sure how it would affect me but I knew it wouldn’t be good to get caught in it.

So again I ran, searching for someplace to hide. The trees in the forest provided little shelter from the light. When I felt the sun start to warm the earth, I ran faster, it seemed like I would never out run the sun. Then when it seemed like all hope was lost, a cottage in the forest. Quickly I checked for any signs of life. There was none, so I rushed in and closed the curtains, but as I shut the last one the sun briefly touched my had. Over whelming pain consumed me. I yanked it out of the sun to see flames starting to form. I dunked my hand in the sink and then the pain stopped.

Well it looked like now I knew what sun would do to me. I looked around at the cottage. It needed work, but it would work. I shuddered, as I remembered who had condemned me to this life with out sunshine. Only one thought ran through my head.

‘I have to kill him.’

Only one problem with that though. I didn’t know how to kill him, or what I had become. I sat down on the ragtag bed. Many thoughts ran though my head at that moment, but the only ones I was concerned were about that night, the night I had become this, creature. I put my head in my hands. Then I remembered. Sunlight, the sunlight that had burned my hand. I looked at my hand in remembrance of the pain. That same thing that had provided me with a glorious tan, now was something I had to fear.

Another thought came to mind, the thing that had killed the one who was trying to protect me, or so I thought. When my, sire, flipped him onto an overhanging tree branch he had turned to dust. But how? Then some thing from an early childhood memory ran across my mind. A wooden stake though the heart.

Soon an overwhelming amount of exhaustion racked through my body. I laid my body down on the bed and shut my eyes. Sleep didn’t come easily though. Guilt from the death of the boy still haunted me, and I doubt it would ever leave.

One thought lingered in my head.
