vamp

I am writing my life story down so I don’t forget who I am, and were I came from. My name is Kara Mathews, and I am a vampire. I was born January 23 at 3:30 in the morning in 1966. My mother died 2 hours later. She hemorrhaged and bled to death, her name was Marie. My father David raised me he never remarried. He used to tell me that his Marie gave him all the love he could ever want. He was all the family I really had except my uncle Ken Strickland he wasn’t really my uncle, but a friend of the family.

We had always been financially well to do so I almost always got what I wanted. On my 16th birthday party my dad invited almost the entire school. My next birthday I would spend alone crying in my bedroom. My father had run off the road and hit a tree he was dead on impact. My uncle came and told me the news. Uncle Ken took me into his home and took care of me. I went of to collage four years and I got my degree in political affaires. For a graduation gift my uncle bought me a horse ranch. It had a lavish brick manor house that had 15 bed rooms two guest houses, a pool and a stable that held 50 horses. A caretaker came with the estate his name is Devon Lockshiel. He adores me his job is to take care of the estate. Devon is also in charge of hiring staff, taking care of the books just about everything that needs to be done and he is my protector.

I had a normal life until my 25th birthday. My uncle held a party a quarter of a century celebration is what he called it. I was to be at his house at 8:00pm. He had bought an old school building in the old part of town. It was 3 stories, brick and square he built a 15 foot chain link fence around his grounds. He has two dogs that guard the property. He had had them for as long as I could remember and still does. I had never feared them and they always greeted me happily but this night they were no where to be found.

I hurried up the stairs. The two front doors were open. Over to the side of the house was the drive way were lots of vehicles a few limos with drivers a hum-v and a Harley Davison Motorcycle the one thing that I noticed was that all of them had window tint that was so dark it would be impossible to see though. I put the thought out of my mind and hurried inside.

On the first floor to the left of the main hall was a full gym: weights, sauna, and such. On the right was his library he had all types of books like a first edition of Tom Sawyer and Huck Fin signed by Mark Twain and a table with a glass top sealed air tight with old manuscripts. He claims to be hand written by Aristotle, Michael Angelo and Plato. He also had a few pieces of the Dead sea scrolls. I went past these two rooms in the center of the building it opens up to where you can see the upper two levels. There are two stair cases leading up on either side of the room. They twist around into a semi-circle and at the top it opens up into the ball room. This is where the party was being held. The 3rd floor held about 15 suites style bedrooms.

I started up the stairs on the right and at the top was a man he was large and well built with raven black hair tied neatly it looked to be about shoulder length. He had a beautiful tan, and the most stunning blue gray eyes I had ever seen. He smiled down at me. “The guest of honor is here.” he called out behind him.

I blinked and looked around the room I was almost at the top of the stars. The decorations seemed rather inappropriate for a birthday party. They were a flat black and gray. My eyes fixed themselves back on the man that was now in front of me. “Well your even more beautiful than your uncle had told me.” He held out his hand I put my hand in his he smiled “Let me introduce myself. My name is Drake Donavan and it is a pleasure and honor to meet you.” He bowed and kissed my hand It was at this moment I realized I had been holding my breath I looked around at the crowd I didn’t recognize anyone here. Drake stood up right

“I am very flattered my name is…”But he cut me of before I could finish.

“Your name is Kara Matthews.” I blushed everyone here must know who I am “Here let me show you around.” He still had not let go of my hand and neatly placed it on his arm as he started to lead me around the room. Everyone here seemed very old, they were all very beautiful people in fact I had never seen so many handsome people in one room. But, they all looked very pale except three and myself. Who for some reason couldn’t stop blushing. My uncle strolled over and gave me a huge and kiss.

“Drake you haven’t been making moves on my baby now have you?” Uncle Ken said it very casual but something told me there was more to it. I told myself that I would have to talk with my uncle later. I was introduced to so many people that I couldn’t remember names. It was close to midnight when My uncle set me in a chair near the back of the room at that moment the guests all seemed to go to the other end of the room. This worried me bad things always happened on my birthday.

“Listen very carefully This is very important.” I must have looked a little distressed because he put his hand on my shoulder and smiled reassuringly. “It is your 25th birthday and I have been given a very special gift to present to you. He paused for a moment “I am going to give you a choice. Have you ever wondered why I have never seemed to get any older?”

“I never thought about it . I chalked it up to good living.” I said numbly waiting.

“The reason I have never aged always healed at unusual rates and have never been sick . It is because I am a vampire. The prince of this city has given me permission to sire you.” He stopped again watching me intensely.

I looked up at him “sire me? What do you mean?” I asked rather confused was he joking a vampire?

He smiled “ Your choice is simple. You can become a vampire and become my daughter or I will give you 20 million dollars. If you take the money I will understand, but I must break all ties with you, and you must forget everything.”
I looked at him dumbfounded. He couldn’t possibly expect me to forget him or what happened tonight I had gone pale all the blood drained from my face. I looked into Uncle Ken’s eyes he looked near tears. I could never leave him. He was all I had left in the world. I would have all sorts of opportunities as a vampire living forever never growing old no sickness it sounded like a good deal.

“I would be honored to be your daughter.” I finally said making up my mind. My uncle looked at me joy running over his face.

“You have just made me the happiest person in the world but I must go over the rules and present you to the prince.” He hugged me very tightly “I promise I will make this as painless as possible.” He straitened himself up. “Now here are the rules : Everyone of us must follow them to the letter. Go you under stand? I nodded.

My uncle contiued "The first is the Masquerade we never let the humans know that we exist. They don’t take kindly to us and could put us all in grave danger.” I shook my head in agreement. “The second rule you can only create another vampire with the promotion of your elder or in this case the prince of the city you live in. If you sire someone without promotion then you and your child will be killed. The third rule is that those you make are your children and you command them in all ways and as such you are responsible for everything they do until they are released the next rule.” He stopped “are you alright so far any questions?”

“Oh no I understand everything so far.” My mind was spinning with joy, fear anxiety and a number of other emotions. My uncle really was a vampire I use to think things like that when I was a child, mabe thats why I didn't seemed so shocked

Uncle Hen started again “If you go to other cities or areas then you must present yourself to the prince of that area and the last one is you can not kill one of your own kind only an elder can condemn someone to death.” He stopped and let all he had said sink in “Do you understand and swear to abide by all that I have told you.” I swallowed hard my throut and mouth were dry and I could feel myself start to tremble I had not noticed until now but the prince had walked over to us and was waiting for my answer I liked my lips and whispered “ will abide by the rules and serve without question.”

The prince smiled just slightly “Welcome to our family.” The prince then turned and joined the group they all seemed to be pleased with my decision. Especially Drake.

I tore my eyes away from the waiting group and looked at my Uncle. A single tear ran down his face and I now knew why he had never cried in front of me before the tear that trailed down his face was blood. He took me in his arms and I felt warm and safe as if nothing bad could ever happen to me again than I felt my head lean back exposing my neck. I felt a sharp pain for a split second like a needle prick then shear joy and as close to ecstasy as I had ever came before. I could feel my life draining from my body there was no pain at this point but I felt cold and then darkness. An eternity later I felt a searing pain like a hot knife had just ripped though my stomach. It was then that I had my first taste it was rich and salty on my lips the pain started to subside and a hunger replaced it. The hunger was all consuming. It was all I could think about as if it was a part of me now.
