Chapter one of my story:
My Girlfriend's a Vampire!
Many hundred years ago lived vampires and humans a like. They got along until one day a young vampire completely drank a young woman’s blood. A large war broke between them. Only one family of vampires escaped. The family was called the Lombardi family. There were five in the family, but on the way to the ancient city of Selona, Lanna and Sori, the two youngest, died. The only child left was Anna, the eldest. Anna’s parents, Jonathan and Sarah, were devastated from their loss but they knew that Anna would carry on their family name if they should ever be killed.
After the war the Lombardi family thought that they were safe in their wooden cabin in the woods, but months afterward, they were found. Jonathan and Sarah were captured and were burned to their deaths. Before they were found Sarah told Anna, “Anna my darling, flee from here before they find us. They’ll find us soon, I just know it. Go on, go!” Sarah shoved Anna out the door and locked it. Anna heard the townspeople coming through the forest.
She ran quickly, but not getting far enough from hearing the townspeople’s yelling and her mother’s screaming in fear. There were crashes and things thrown around in the cabin. Then things suddenly got quiet and the townspeople left. She ran back to the cabin to see if her parents were still there, but only lay four bodies of the townspeople and much bloodshed. She looked out of the window and saw her parents being dragged back to the town. She wanted to help her parents but she knew she was to weak to do anything. Tears fell from her eyes and she didn’t notice the sun coming up.
A ray of light touched her arm and started to burn her skin. She got up and ran quickly, trying to find a place to hide from the sun’s light. A few hours later the sun fully came up and Anna had barely found a place to hide in. She didn’t know what to do, she was all alone, no friends, no family left, she may have been the only one left of her race. “What am I going to do now?” She asked herself.
“I’m only five years old, I have no one to help me out when I’m in trouble. I was never taught anything besides the basics of survival. I’m all…..alone now….” She wiped away her tears. Even though she was alone, her parents and little brother and sister will always be with her.
Anna had turned six years old. One hundred years had passed and Anna got up to explore her hidden home. It was a dark, humid place, somewhat like an underwater cavern with all the humidity in the air. She went to turn a corner when she ran into a man, tall, brown hair, blue eyes and around sixteen years old. “I’m so sorry little one. I didn’t mean to run into you. Are you alright? Have you gotten lost?”
She nodded. “I’m fine and no I’m not lost, I’m just exploring.” Her voice sounded dead. The man kneeled down to her level and looked her in the eyes. “Is everything alright?”She was starting to cry again. “No, nothing is alright. I’ve just lost my parents and my younger brother and sister. I’m the only one left of my family, no aunts or uncles, no grandparents, no cousins to stay with not even any friends. I’m all alone.” The man hugged her. “I’m sorry to hear this little one. I wish there was something I can do.”
He thought for a moment. “Maybe there is a way. Would you like to come stay with me and my family? You would love my mother and father and my two little sisters.” She looked up at him, wiping her tears away.
“Yes, I would like to come with you.” The man smiled and stood up, taking her hand. “Alright then.” She smiled. “Thank you so much um…..I never caught your name.” The man laughs. “Oh, pardon my rudeness, my name is Logan, what’s your’s?” “It’s nice me to meet you Logan. My name is Anna.” “What a beautiful name for a pretty girl like you. It’s nice to meet you too Anna.” She blushed. Logan laughed. “What is it?” “I-it’s just no one’s thought of me as ‘pretty’ before.”
Logan smiled. “Well I think you are. Come on, let’s go home.” He started to walk out of the cave, taking Anna along with him. She remembered that the sun was still up, she couldn’t leave yet. She pulled back from him.
Logan turns around. “What’s wrong Anna?” “My eyes are really sensitive to any kind of lights. I can’t go out until sundown.” He smiled. “Alright I understand. I’m not due back home until dark anyway.” “Okay, thank you.” Anna sat down and Logan sat beside her.
“So…….um……” She couldn’t think of anything to say to her new brother. Logan smiles. “I can understand how you feel Anna. I’m an adoptive child too.” “Really?” She was surprised to hear that he was adopted. “Yes really. My biological family was killed right around when I was six.” “W-what were they killed by? A bear? A pack of wolves?” He shook his head. “Not a pack of wolves and much worse than a bear. They were killed by…….” He took a breath. “They were killed by the bloodsuckers of the night. They’re called vampires.”
Anna was silent. “The family of vampires who killed my parents were called the Lombardi family. They’re the most vicious vampires I’ve ever saw.” She became angry within herself. She thought that he had no right to call her family ‘vicious’ or ‘bloodsuckers of the night.’She wanted to rip out his throat for saying what he said, but she didn’t. She couldn’t risk of her heritage being noticed, as a vampire anyway. “Hey Anna, are you alright? Your kind of quiet.” “Oh, yeah I’m fine.” she said quietly. “Okay if your sure. Hey the sun’s going down. Can you come out now?” Logan asked. “Yeah I can. Let’s go.”
Logan and Anna stood and found their way out of the cave. “So Anna how old are you?” He asked. “I’m only six, about to turn seven in a couple of months.” She replied. “Why do you ask?” “Oh well I didn’t know cause I didn’t ask yet so, yeah.” He said nervously. “It’s okay. And how old are you?” “I’m sixteen going on seventeen in about a few days.” “Wow, your sixteen? I thought you were at least twenty from the way I first saw you.” He laughs. “Really now? You thought I was twenty? Oh my friends are going to love you Anna. They love people like you.” She smiles. “I bet I can’t wait to meet them.” She smiled lightly.
They continued their way to Anna’s new home. It took almost an hour to get there. Logan’s family waited for him patiently. It was dark, no moon lighted their way and Anna’s fangs began to extend for she needed to feed. Her eyes looked up at his neck then looked away quickly. She couldn’t feed on the person who was taking her to his own family. “Um….. Logan I need to go.” She said quietly. Logan laughs. “Alright, I’ll wait right up here for you.” He walks up to this old tree stump and sits down on it.
She ran into the woods, her fangs out and her eyes red. She looked for something to feed on when she found a nice plump deer. She charged at the deer’s neck and sunk her fangs into it. The deer struggled to get away but she kept a hold of it. The deer went down and it’s blood drained away. She got up from the deer, it’s blood dripping from her chin onto the carcass. “Now I need to wash this blood off.” She said to herself. She looked for a stream or something to wash the blood off. Nearby there was a stream that she had passed when she ran towards the deer.
She kneeled down, scooped up some water in her hands and washed the blood off. Logan continued to wait for her to appear but he was starting to worry about her. “Where could she be? It shouldn’t take her this long to go.” He stood up. “Anna! Where are you?” She heard him calling her name. “I’m coming brother!” She hurried and finished washing off the blood and started to run back towards her brother. She ran through the woods trying to locate where he was. “Where are you Logan?” She called out. “Do you see a light ahead of you?” She looks around and sees a the light a few feet ahead of her. “Yes, I see a light.” “Okay, come towards it Anna, it’s me.” He swung the lantern back and forth.
She started to run towards the light, but before she reached it, she had tripped over a tree root and fell flat on her face. He heard a thud close to him and he sees her on the ground. “Anna are you alright?” “I’m fine. I just tripped.” He ran over and helped her up, wiping off the dirt from her face and her clothes. “Are you sure your alright Anna? You took and real nice trip there.” “Really brother I’m fine. Let’s keep going.” He nodded and they kept walking until they walked into a small village. Not many houses were there, most of them were falling down or were gone completely.
She looked around the village, trying to study and take everything in as she possibly could. He looked down and saw how mesmerized she was by the village. “Like it?” “Like it? I love it brother. This little village…..it looks as if it’s been inhabited for centuries.” He laughed. “Not centuries, try a few years. My adopted parent’s parents built this place themselves.” “Oh wow, that’s amazing. How long ago was that or do you know?” He thinks for a moment.
“My parents now are in their 40’s so it had to be at least thirty-some years ago” “This village is that old?” He nods. “That’s cool. I know some places that are over one-hundred years old” “Oh really? And where are these places?” “I lived in an ancient city called Selona. It was said that vampires lived there long ago before the wars between them and the humans. It was the capital of all the vampire lands. Humans also lived in Selona, they got along with the vampires very well until that one night came.” Logan looks down at her. “What night came Anna?”
She takes a breath. “One night a young vampire, in his teens, fell in love with a human and the human fell in love with the vampire. They were forbidden to be together but they found ways to get past that. They met every night for almost a year. Their names were Lia and Christopher. On their year anniversary Christopher proposed to Lia, and she accepted. One night while they were having a picnic, Lia had accidently cut her finger." She took another breath.
"Christopher froze, but the aura coming from her blood was hypnotizing him. He bent down and started to suck on her finger, drinking her blood. With the first taste, he became addicted and continued. She tried to get him off, but he was latched on. For two hours he continued to drink until he stopped suddenly, realizing what he had done. When he stopped, he was to late, Lia was dead. He felt horrible with himself. He cradled her body in his arms until the sun came up. His body burned and he died after being in the sun for a half hour. When the humans found out what had happened to Lia from an autopsy, they raged war against the vampires and the humans were driven out of Selona. The humans buried Lia and the vampires poured Christopher‘s ashes over top of the casket before it was put into the ground so that they would be together for eternity. That was how the war‘s between the humans and the vampires started.”
He just stares at her for a long time, stunned by her story. “A-and how did you know about this?” “This happened 600 years ago Logan, it was passed down by word of mouth from my great grand mother, my grand mother, my mother to me.” “Well that story was quite interesting. I’ve never heard of a forbidden love between a human and a vampire before.” She nods. “Yes I thought it was an interesting story as well when I was told.” They continued on their way in silence.
They finally arrived at his house. He opened the door for her to walk through. She looked around the first part of the house she was in. It was old, almost like an old Victorian home. She was astound by the features. Logan smiles. “You love the house don’t you?” “I absolutely love it.” “I thought you would Anna.” He whistles. “Mother, father, Abby, Hanna, I’m home!” She looked at him strangely. “Who are they?” “You’ll see.”
Only moments later did they hear the giggles of two little girls coming from the top floor. They appeared at the top of the staircase and ran down. The one looked around seven and the other looked around eight. “Who’s who brother?” Logan points to the first one. “That one’s Abby, she’s seven and the other one is Hanna, she’s eight.” “Okay.” She smiles as the two girls run down to their brother. “Brother your home finally! We were beginning to wonder about you.” “You don’t need to worry about me you two, I can take care of myself.” Hanna smiles half heartedly. “Sure you can.” They all laugh. Abby looks past Logan and sees Anna. “Who’s that?” “Abby, Hanna, this is your new step sister Anna. Anna there are my two sisters, Abby and Hanna.” Anna smiles. “Nice to meet you both.” Abby looks up at Logan. “Brother you know mother and father don’t like strangers into the house.” Hanna cuts in. “Yeah she’s really pale too. For all we know she might be one of those bloodsuckers!”
Anna cringed at the name. Logan became angered. “Hanna! You never know what might’ve happened with Anna before I found her. Maybe her parents were killed by the bloodsuckers just like my parents were when I was her age!” Anna cringed the name again, she thought to herself. “Say ‘bloodsucker’ again you will be paying the price for it.” “Besides you guys, she may be pale because she saw her parents death and was about to get killed herself, but she got away from her killers.” “Okay what ever brother, think what you want.” Abby and Hanna giggle and they run to the meeting room where their mother and father were sitting by a warm fire.
Anna studied the mother and father. The father was muscular, in shape and was tall for how ever old he was. The mother was small, thin and slightly pale like herself, she also loved to knit quilts to keep the family warm during the frosty winters. Logan took Anna’s hand and walks into the room. “Mother, father I want you to meet someone who I found while I was out in the caves today.” “Okay my boy, who is it?” His father asked. Anna noticed that his father’s voice was very deep. “I want you two to meet Anna. She’s six years old and she was wandering the caves. She was all alone too. She told me that her parents were killed only a few hours ago so I felt bad and I thought we could take her in like you took me in when I was six.”
His mother had a shocked expression on her face. “Dear god take her were you found her Logan! She’s horrid looking and we can’t have a reputation of looking horrid!” Anna noticed that his mother’s voice was in the middle range. “Mother please! She needs some place to stay! If we just let her wander around surely enough her killer’s will find her!” Logan’s father stood up, his eyes filled with anger. “Listen to what you are told boy! Take that, that thing where you first found it!” “Father please I’m begging you. I don’t want to take her back up there! Please if you won’t take care of Anna then let me. I’ll take the blame for everything father. Please just let her stay!”
Logan was on his knees, pleading to his father for her to stay. Anna looks up at what may be her new step father and he looks at her, he sighs. “Fine my son, but you promise me if she is not a human or of a living thing on the Earth and your protecting her for it, I curse you from this home and I hope you burn in hell for it.” Logan nods his head slowly then stands. “Yes father.” He turns around and pushes Anna away, heading upstairs. “Time for bed Anna, you need your rest. You’ll be sleeping in my bed, I can sleep on the floor.” She shook her head. “I want you to be in your bed brother, I can sleep on the floor.” “No Anna now please do as I say.”
Anna stood her ground and sat on the floor. “I’m not sleeping in your bed Logan.” He sighs. “I see your going to be stubborn with me, eh?” He picks her up and places her softly onto the bed and tickles her. She starts giggling. “L-Logan please s-stop!” He shakes his head. “Nope, your getting my wrath now!” He continues to tickle her, a deep voice is heard from downstairs. “Logan it’s not time for fun and games! Go to sleep now!” He nods. “Yes father.” Logan and Anna look at each other with smiles and he covers her up. “Time for sleep Anna.” He turned around and was just about to lay on the floor when she sat up and folded her arms. “I won’t go to sleep unless your in the bed too Logan.”
He looks at her and shakes his head, laughing softly. “You just won’t give up will you?” She shakes her head. “Alright, alright. I’ll sleep in the bed.” She smiles and lays back down. He get’s up from the floor and crawls into bed beside her and wraps his arms around her. “Goodnight Anna.” “’Night Logan.” They both close their eyes and they slowly fall asleep.
