As days linger I am dying slowly breaking away would you like to hear my story?

Hi my name is Lilith

Times are changing day or well nights fly by I no longer have to worry about exams or school I am done finished no more samel school of death I only have to worry about other dark creatures who prey on the innocent am trying to defend them sometimes it is too late there are two worlds: the day world and the night world I ma from the night world there are other creatures tin the night world there is vampires wolves witches ghouls. No one can know what you are or who you really are any mortal who knows what you are will be prosecuted which I am trying to stop I have people coming to me saying they are having weird blackouts I cannot believe myself when they have pale skin with the darkest lips staring at my neck with eyes so white only then with I know how to deal with them the council is trying to find out why there are so many corpses around town it is because I killed them it was me I was turned I hated it I burned for days lost people I love and no one ever helped me through the transition stage no one so that is why I have to get go the ones who have just been turned so they don’t lose the ones they love like I did I lost them cause I cant control the desire the desire for blood yes I am a vampire I could not choose my destiny nor what is am I live with it help the newborns yes some don’t make it they do not take to the venom when that happens they cannot be saved the can not be reborn they have departed for a very long time. As the days go by I just can’t help but notice how much has changed I was turned in 1861 which was 149 years ago times have changed there was no phones or computers or no technology either it was all written by hand the clothes we wore covered our bodies unlike the clothes they wear now they show everything with their so called skinny jeans they are the grossest thing I have ever seen on people when big people wear them that is when you have to look away or run and the shirts they were they may as well have like a piece of material to cover up their bodies they show everything one girl wore a shirt that had a major cleavage gap it was nice on her though she was very respectful to her self and others she was very pretty and the guys oh well they were the best thing I have ever seen the had the muscles they had the nice hair they had everything and I loved every bit of it I would go down to the club and they would come up and dance with me and sometimes I would take them home and I would ask them if they would like to live forever but they always say no but one guy pauly he gave it a shot I told him I would be here for him and I would never leave his side through it all he was mine I was his forever we would take a stride day by day always alive but we really are alive but dead until we came across jay. Jay was as we though a horrible human who was a spoilt piece of meat she complained she winged everything she was vulnerable I was there I was angry and she was losing pauly could not stop me I was sick of this insane child claiming what she was not she claimed she was like me she claimed she was everything but everything she was not she was nothing she had her friends she had the girls who got everything for her there was Tory, Katy and Eva they were her toys what she didn’t know was she was about to become my toy everyday I watched as the boys looked and walked she thought she was everything but she had nothing on the other girls she was 18 and she still hasn’t been kissed and she never will be as long as she no longer lives because tonight I shall end her life for her no one can save her now not even her friends if they get in the road I shall crush them crush them all I have no feeling for them anymore they are no longer part of my life I shall lay and cry until my parents come home even then I shall no longer be happy all thanks to the girls who stole him Leo. Leo was my first human toy and those filthy mortal girls took him away from me they know about what I am and how I feed I don’t know how I shall condemn them because there is so many ways to crush a human one way I will do it one by one I will start with Tory and Katy then Eva then JAY. Jay needs to grow up and realise nothing goes as planned just as her life will never be full it will end on the 8/9/2010 all her doubts will be gone and so will she. When I arrived at her house her mother Sandra answered the door “Hi I am Lilith im here to see Jay” I said “sure she is just up in her room” Sandra replied. I followed Sandra up to Jays room jay was there sitting at her laptop and I could only guess who she was talking to.” I have to go Lilith has just turned up I will talk to you later love you more Leo talk to you later”. “so who is this Leo” I said “oh he is just this super hot super popular guy from school” Jay said “oh I think ive heard of him he was the one that was on that major drug high when you found him right “ I said knowing who it was “yea that is exactly who he is” jay replied ‘why are you here “ jay said “ cause you took Leo away from me he was mine and now you shall pay” I said “ how was he yours you cant just own someone “ jay replied “ I can own who ever I want shall I show you why?” I replied with after saying that I beared my fangs at her she screamed and I compelled her to do what I said when her mother came to see what was wrong she told her mother “nothing Lilith just told me she had no date to the senior prom” her mother looked astonished and said ‘Lilith how come you have no date to the senior prom you are gorgeous’ thank you mrs.wake that is something I get told daily by my mother” my mother is actually no longer alive I just need to keep up the human charade I can do it quite well they believe everything I have told them. jay’s mother leaves the room and leaves jay with me in her room which will soon have no sign of me and no sign of her, her mother wont know she ever had a daughter and she will move away to another city. If everything goes as planned. First I lay her on her bed I lean in and I smell her blood running through her veins like a stream flowing with delicious water just waiting to be tasted. Her blood smells of fairy floss and chocolate the best blood I have tasted when I bite into her neck everything flows into me how she feels about him me and her friends I cant bear the resentment towards Eva and Katy that is why she is so bossy and demanding towards them because she will never have what they have a loving family unlike her who comes from a broken family. \
