The Life of a Teenage Vampire by Cody Brinkerhoff (reading well .TXT) 📖

Hi there this is the story of my life and those of you who are saying oh boy just another biography stop that right now because this is not just a biography of some normy as my friends call humans. This is the story of a teenage vampire. I remember that day like it was just yesterday it was hot out and the sun was shining. My friend had just gotten back from a trip to see the council. The council is a group of vampires that make the rules for the rest of us. I personally have never met the council as I am only half vampire and they deal mainly with full vampires they call those like me the hæf otherwise known as half vampires. Before I get ahead of myself I should explain how I became this way as I was not always a hæf. Well it was about six months prior to that day and I was very sick I was dying. No one could figure out why I was sick I went to all kinds of doctors no one could figure it out. I was on my deathbed it was two in the morning and I heard a noise and suddenly there was a dark figure at the foot of my bed. Before I could ask who this person was I heard a girl’s voice. It took me a few minutes to realize it was the person in front of me talking as I was out of it from all the medicine. I remember she had said, “You are dying aren’t you kid?” I had no idea how she knew that but I had no time to think about that I replied hesitantly, “yes I am no one knows why.” The dark figure came closer out of the shadows and I seen her face she was a young girl couldn’t be any older than sixteen she had long crimson red hair her eyes were a captivating brown I couldn’t look away from her eyes. She was tall I couldn’t tell how tall though she had the kind of smile that just seems to make everything else around you disappear. She had come to the bedside right next to me and she had leaned over and she whispered into my ear, “Do you want to get better? If you do tell me how bad you do.” I looked at her confused and said, “I’m not ready to die yet I would do anything to get better it doesn’t matter what it is I will do anything.” This girl she smiled and said to me, “My name is Sarah and I am someone who can make you better but you will never be the same again if I help you, you will become like me you will become a vampire are you ready for this?” I looked at her with disbelief until she opened her mouth and I seen the teeth and she just barely touched her thumb to them and blood started running down her arm. I was very scared but I was desperate to get better so I said in a scared raspy voice, “I’m ready…” This girl I barely knew bent over and turned my head ever so gently and I felt a slight pain it felt like someone pricked me with a needle. I felt something strange like I was drained of all my strength I could not move and then I felt cold but suddenly stronger. Before I knew it she was standing over me again this time she was on my bed and she laid down on top of me her face right next to me I remember feeling something wet and warm on her chin. I had fainted at this point because the next thing I knew I had woken up and she was gone. My neck was very stiff but I was sitting up which I wasn’t able to do in such a long time it had been weeks since I had the strength to sit up. The doctor came in in a panicky rush he looked scared to death. And he said the camera in my room was black and he did not see a pulse on my heart monitor.

I apologize if the title is misleading no it was not the end of the world just the end of my old life. I had started going through changes after that night I no longer craved the food I used to love. And I felt weak anytime I was in direct sunlight. I began to wonder if I’d ever see Sarah again. She had saved my life and I never got a chance to thank her. I was still in the hospital still no pulse and I was cold. They had officially assigned me a personal nurse as they began to worry that they couldn’t find a pulse anywhere in my body. I was allowed to walk around again as I was getting stronger. They kept telling me I must have a guardian angel because they have never seen a turn around like this before they would never know that I was visited by someone the night before. As I was walking through the hospital I happened to look over as they were giving blood to some little kid and as soon as I seen the blood I felt strange I felt hungry and I was having difficulties staying conscious for some reason I felt my canines getting sharp and I started to run for the door to the kid I felt like a passenger in my own life when suddenly I felt something around me and I turned around to see Sarah she pulled me into the janitors closet. It was dark and I felt trapped and I couldn’t move. And just then I felt something warm, wet, and dark on the side of my face the smell was familiar, I lost control at that point and I was fighting trying to find the source. I had found my mark the warm liquid was dripping on my lips at that point I found myself licking my lips and enjoying the taste way too much I opened my mouth as wide as I could my eyes had rolled into the back of my head and I was loving ever last drop of this sweet nectar I found. Then I felt wide awake and stronger than ever before the liquid had stopped coming at that time I looked up to see a mirror my face was covered in blood and I seen Sarah she had a cut on her arm that was dripping blood. I asked her, “Sarah was that blood that I just tasted?” Then she shook her head up and down she looked deathly pale. And then she spoke softly, “you needed the blood more than you could ever know at this time you were about to kill that kid I’ve seen that look many times before.” I wanted to ask her why she did it but before I could she had ripped a piece of her shirt off at the waist and she wiped my face and neck dry before wrapping it around her arm. She took me in her arms and said you look so much better than you did last night. I found out that the night before was the very first time she had ever turned anyone. She told me that I need to control my hunger and then she gave me this small bright orange container it looked like a tic tac container with a few modifications. She said to me that this is your best friend never lose it. If you need it refilled give it to me I will get you more it is filled with a drug it is called rialú use it as a last resort it will give you the edge you need to keep control. Do not give it to anyone if a human tastes it, it will taste like candy. It is a safety measure so that if a human gets their hands on it they will never know the truth about it. Keep control as long as you can you need to learn control only use this as a last resort. Then she told me that I am only half vampire and then said what you are called is hæf that is the species you belong to now. I am also only half vampire and you must be very careful who you tell about this change there are people out there that seek to hunt us down and eliminate us. Even though we have done nothing to them the humans fear what they do not understand you must be careful. Not even family can know about this they will be the most fearful of this change in you my friend Dear Journal I almost killed a kid today and found out I need to work on controlling myself.

It has been one month since that day that I tasted my first drops of blood as a vampire and much has changed. I’ve become stronger as well as faster. There are times I miss my old life but there is no going back I have only the memories of being human now. My new life is exciting though I have been born into a whole new world filled with things that I only thought to be myths or the things that you come up with in your dreams but I have found out that they are oh so real. My friends have started calling me Azazel they tell me that with a new life in a new world one should have a new name as well. I do not mind it so much but I still wonder how they came up with that name. I have met many new people in a little over a month after being turned into a vampire. I have even had become close friends with a werewolf his name is DJ. I will start training soon to learn how to fight and to control my hunger. I often wondered why I
