Hello! This story is something that I have been working on for a long time. It's my fantasy world and I've always wanted to write something like this. Everyone in the story is 18 years or older. THIS STORY CONTAINS DESCRIPTIVE VIOLENCE and is not intended for readers who are easily offended. As violent and brutal as it may be, I am actually happy reading my own story.

Chapter 1 - A Forever Change
The world is an uncertain place. People are erratic and unpredictable. People have no respect for one another, and this is how my family was killed. My family was nothing like me, they were normal human beings but for what I am now, was the cause of their death. I kick myself every night for their loss and to know it's my fault, it hurts even more. I have no control of what I am, I never asked to be this way, and I most certainly never asked to fight this battle. I am a vampire.
I sat there, in my haven, thinking about what I should do next. I have never killed anyone but now that my life has changed, there is no turning back. My eyes filled with fire and fury. The fire and fury weren't from hatred, they were from what my life had become. I picked up one of my daggers on the table and picked under my fingernails.
One thing that irritates me is that I can't go outside during the day because I'll burn to death. It's a real shame because I loved being out in the sun with my friends and I loved going to school. Things are so much different now and it's not in a good way. My feelings were shattered because I have "disappeared" from everything I know and things won't be the same.
My friends don't know where I am, no one knows where I am. For all they know, I died in that pile of rubble in which my family did. My house was set on fire and the enemy surrounded the exits. There was no escaping it. How did I escape it? I dove out of my front window at the very last second before the roof collapsed in. I had eight cuts all around my body and three of them were deep.
I got away to the haven and that's where I lye right now. How did I become a vampire? It all started with a dream. I was down an alley and I wanted to go to the corner store to buy myself a drink. Two figures were standing down the alleyway and approached me. I got really scared and just gave up right there. They weren't after me for my personal belongings, they were there to take my life---for what reason? I don't know. After my life was taken in cold blood, I woke up in a room where five other people stood. My eyes slowly opened and everything was blurry.
"What's your name, young one?" A male voice asked me.
"My name?! My name...My name...is...Melanie. Where am I? What happened?" I asked nervously.
"Calm down, girl, you're safe now. Your questions will all be answered within due time. My name's Mike. How old are you?"
"I'm nineteen years old...please...just please don't kill me," I pleaded.
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you or anything." He told me.
I was extremely freaked out and I could barely move. I slowly inched myself up and there I was in the mirror...
"Oh my god!" I shrieked.
My neck was stitched all around and my face was pale white. My eyes were full of blood and blood seeped out of my neck very slowly. What had happened to me? Did those two people in the alleyway do this to me?
"Calm down, please, it looks worse than it really is." I heard a female voice say.
"Melanie...you were attacked because you have the heart of a dark soul and you are capable of taking down the enemy."
"Why me? Did I do this?" I asked nervously.
"No, very, very few people are born with it. It's the energy from the black sun that strikes into few souls."
"What is the black sun?" I asked.
"You shall find out in due time, Melanie."
I started to cry because I felt so terrible.
"Awww, sweetie, don't cry, please? My name's Lana and you'll be as good as new before you know it." She said.
"Please! What happened to me?" I pleaded.
"Do you just want me to tell you flat out?" She asked.
"Please do,"
"Those people in the alleyway killed you. They cut your head off. We were hoping to come to you before they did but we were too late. We made you come back to life, you can't be killed, sweetie. You are like us, brothers and sisters, we are immortal."
I started sobbing a bit more. The girl came over to me and put her hand on my forehead. Her eyes had a strong feeling in them. She was a European girl. Her hair was a beautiful dark brown and her lips looked very glossy. I noticed that when she talked, she had fangs.
"Are you...a vampire?" I asked in a scared tone.
"You're one too, sweetie!" She laughed.
"Wow...really?"
"Smile in the mirror, hunny, you'll see!"
I raised my cheeks and there they were! I had fangs! I was so surprised! I couldn't believe it one bit. I really hoped that my neck would heal because I looked so ugly with the stitches on there.
"Will my neck heal? Please tell me it will." I pleaded.
"Yes, of course it will sweetheart, but you're changed forever now, we'll see you soon!" She told me.
