It all started on April 18th, 1988 when I was just turning 16. Everything was great. My life was fine and dandy until I blew out those candles....1
that was something I should have never done. I wished that I didn't have any parents and that they didn't have me. See, I never really liked my parents and I always wished that I was dead...well, looks like I finally got my wish.2
It was a nice normal day and everything seemed fine. I had my party, opened my presents, and had some cake. When the day was all done, I thought I would take a little stroll outside. I came across a cemetery and thought I'd take a look around. Little did I know that it would soon be the end of all. 3
I came across some gravestones of teenagers that were just like me. I was wondering why so many teenagers died in that cemetery. I kept walking along and reading the different gravestones. Each gravestone was that of a teenager. Trying to put two and two together, I started to hear a noise. Then, all of a sudden, a black shadow appeared in the darkness. 4
I was scared and didn't know what to except, until the black shadow came up and began talking to me. 5
"You know that you can be just like them, right?"6
"What do you mean?", I said startled and confused.7
"You can become dead, just like them. It's not that hard. One simple bite and you will live forever but your parents will not have you anymore and you will not have them. You will be free as a dead spirit that lives forever if you just let me take you under my wings".8
The black shadow was now standing face to face with me waiting to hear what I had to say next. I was no longer confused. I knew what he meant. He wanted me as his own....he wanted me to become a vampress, devil of all night. Perhaps my wish would come true, I thought. I always wondered what it would be like to be a vampire but was I ready to become one.9
"I don't know....I mean my parents will look for me and I'm too young to die and leave them behind. Maybe you should find someone else...I'm not interested", I said as I started to walk away.10
Next thing I know, the black shadow jumped in front of me and snatched me under his wings.11
"What do you care if they look for you...you made the wish. You wished that you didn't have any parents and that they didn't have you. Now, I bid you come with me...for your own good"12
"No, I will not. I told you I am not interested. Now, leave me be", I said with a push to the black shadow standing before my eyes.13
"Yes you are...you are interested. Now come with me", the black shadow said as he started to suck for blood deep within my neck.14
When he was done draining me of my last drop, I fell to the ground. Unconscious, not breathing...I thought this to be the end and I was right. I started to flinch and jerk about as my body turned fragile and cold. I didn't know what was happening until next thing you know I have fangs, wings, and a black cape. So, I guess this was what it was like to be a vampire...feeling as though you are a fragile little soul who is consumed by darkness. Tears dropped done my face as I started to think about my family and friends. This started out as a normal day until I made that awful wish.15
"What is wrong, my dear? Why are you crying like that for? Vampires don't have feeling. You shall not have any feeling anymore. You are my daughter...consumed by the darkness of her fathers bite. Now, I command you to stop crying. I must show you how to be a vampress of the night".16
"But I don't even know your name. How can I be your daughter if I don't even know my fathers name. I understand why now that you took me as your own. I wanted it this way and that you did know. I shall be forever yours, my dark knight", I said now as the feelings and memories of my parents and family started to drift aside. I was a vampire now and I knew that. I had no feeling left, no love at all except...I had love for the night.17
"My name is Bronwen. Sure, you have heard of me. I've been around for centuries and for centuries to come. I know you understand why I have taken you as my own. We shall rule the dark kingdom together. You as Rene and me as Bronwen. With our capabilities, we will drain this world dry."18
I knew exactly what he was talking about. He wanted the world to be savage beasts of the night and rule under our kingdom. He called me Rene....for I am reborn. His name meant dark and pure for that is what he was. Everything came together. The teenagers that died in this cemetery were his. They were his victims.19
"What happened to all of these teenagers? Why did they die? They were your own....your victims of the night. So, why did they die?"20
"They weren't fit for the night like you are my dear. They drained themselves dry and some wanted nothing to do with me. So, they starved themselves to death just to get revenge. You, however, are different. You have love for the night. You have love for me".21
He was right. I was different. I was very different and now it was my turn to be the vampire that he is. 22
We left the cemetery late at night. It was reported the next day that I was missing until a police officer found my body and told my parents I was dead. It wasn't my body they found, just a figure of their imaginations....but was it even that??? 23
Me and Bronwen set out then to find what we needed to find....human flesh. It wasn't hard to find any either. Every human we found, we drained them of their existence. Every one walking with the other, right behind us as we sucked them of their human form. 24
It didn't take long for me and Bronwen to take control of these new vampires and to set them free into the night of the world. They all wanted to be free of something. Soon, this whole world will be nothing but vamps, I thought to myself as Bronwen looked at me and nodded slightly.25
"This marks our final mark. We set out tonight to finish this world off. Then, maybe we will be appreciated, my dear Rene".26
"So, we kill them all and make them vampires like us...that way we all rule the land and there will not be a human left to spare...but what do we do when the humans are gone? What will we feed on?", I asked Bronwen with a sincere look of concern. 27
"We die....we all die"28
Now everything became clearer than it used to be. Bronwen lied to me at the cemetery. He killed all his victims and I was next. We were all supposed to die under his command....every one of us vampires. I didn't understand that though. Why kill something you made and why kill yourself. I looked at him then and he started to cry.29
"I thought you said that we do not have feelings. If that is true, than why are you crying. You meant to kill us. You took me upon yourself so that this world could die, didn't you?"30
"Yes, I did. I wanted the world to be free from their human form. I wanted them all to die but I think I'll have to finish the job myself...my fair sweet Rene."31
With that, Bronwen came charging after me. Was I ready for this, I thought....but have I been ready when he bit me? The answer was no. I didn't wanna die the first time and I didn't wanna die again. So, I attacked him as he charged after me. 32
Knocking me on the ground, Bronwen looked like he was about ready to charge again. So, I picked up a stick that was behind me and stabbed it straight through his heart. 33
"May you always live in peace, you beautiful creature....", I said as he grabbed his chest and flashed his fangs for the last time. 34
He was dead and I knew it. What have I done, I thought to myself. He was my creator, my father....he meant everything to me. Everything meant everything to me. What was to come next. Was I to die or was I to live in this after life of the dark. 35
"I didn't know but I guess I would soon find out....", I said to myself as I walked away from his corpse and as I walked away into the night. What started out as a normal day became a night of all disasters just because of a simple wish............36
