New Life

Chapter 1: Beginning


  Hey, the name is Isabelle, call me Izzy. The date is April 5, 2010 and I am one hundred twenty one years old. Yet I look like a modern day thirteen year old. I am a vampire. That is the only way possible that I AM 121. I have a friend named Vinny, who is also a vampire. We can be considered good vampires. Yes, we drink blood, but if we didn't we wouldn't survive! But we are pretty good, behavior wise. Normal vampires rape innocent humans, kill them, or even use their vampire powers to make them do whatever they want.Vinny and I don't do any of that. Especially the rape stuff, cause 'cmon! The two of us LOOK like thirteen year olds. Of course, we’re older than most people in the town. We live in Paramus, New Jersey. The two of us are considered kids in the secret vampire world. A lot of vampires live in the south mostly in Virginia, Georgia, and North Carolina. You can say that there are …conventions? of vampires. We all meet at least once a month to see who has been killed and who hasn’t. It’s also mainly a social gathering. Southerners have wised up and realized that vampires are in their area. They have found out how to kill us, and how to torture us for information.
    Today was the monthly meeting. I met a newborn vampire from my area. She was created by one of the elders. The elder knew she has potential as a vampire. So she created her. A few days knocked out, and in agonizing pain and bada-bing! A vampire! The girls name WAS Margaret. Once you’re a vampire, you have new life. And therefore you are eligible to change your name. I hated my original name. It was Morgan. But the new girl’s new name is Jade. That is a pretty name though. I talked with her, and she was upset. As soon as her woke up she had to leave with the elder. Jade was asking her all these questions, and apparently Elder Simon didn’t give her many answers. So Jade is going hysterical because she doesn’t understand her new life and misses her family already. I felt bad for her, she was kidnapped by Elder Simon at her birthday party! Of all places! Elder Simon doesn’t show his emotions much, most of the time he’s just rude.
    The day she was taken it was her twelfth birthday party. She is a year younger than us, sort of. But believe me, when you were just changed, you feel weird. Poor Jade, she doesn’t realize that she’ll have to drink someone’s blood soon, or she’ll go mad. It sucks that we can’t go into the sunlight. Vinny and I don’t attend school. We wouldn’t be able to though. That brings me to something I didn’t tell you. How I got changed! Well, in 1889 I was kidnapped, just like Jade, and the vampire (curse the name he changed it to) and raped me. After that he changed me. He left me in the woods in  agony for three days. I knew what I became since I woke up in the sunlight and started to burn. Lovely, right? But my mistake I went to Vinny after I got into shade and waited a few hours. He had been my best friend since I was a human. He told me that my parents were looking for me, they put posters all over the city and have police around looking for me too. As I said, when you wake up, your thirsty I mean really thirsty. And he looked very good to me. So I bit him, and after I realized what I was doing I stopped. I didn’t kill him just yet. Instead I accidentally turned him. When I let go of him, he fell to the ground and passed out. I knew I had to get him out of there and away from the town. So with my strength and speed, I carried him out of the state into New York. We actually hid on the coast of the Hudson. Lucky me, I found a cave. Even though I wasn’t thirsty, I knew I had to get someone for Vinny. Just a newborn vampire, I knew it would be tough getting someone, and killing them. It would be on my conscience. But I thought it would be easier to kidnap some of the local homeless people. I figured no one would look for them and they’d put up less of a fight. A few days later Vinny woke up, and almost immediately he had blood in his system. So since then we’ve been best friends. Vinny was never mad at me for changing him, even by accident. Now he knows how I feel, and understands the craving for blood.
