The Vampire Girl

Chapter 1

“It’s a girl!” cried my father. I know what your thinking how did I know that because when I was born I should just be screaming my head off but instead I turned out to be a part vampire baby so I was about the size of a two year old and could hear fine. I climbed out of my father’s arms. Then walked over to my mother she smiled kissed my hand, forehead, and cheek and told me she loved me. Then closed her eyes and never opened them again. My mother being only mortal didn’t survive my birth. After two days my father died because of a tumor in his brain. He was a vampire. But a very controlled one. Most of the others are just drinking blood forever. I learned about this from my grandmother a extra old vampire. After I was a few weeks old which means that I was about twelve. I lived in the woods. I went to school everyday. (My grandmother insisted). This is were our story begins. Now I will warn you I was taught to only hunt when hungry. I mostly feed on wildlife but sometimes I lose control and bite someone. When I was running in the woods on a warm, Texas summer day(that is one of my hobbies) I am really fast and I usually could read minds I usually don’t cause it’s boring. It’s a vampire thing we find the mortals dull and boring. I also look incredibly hot. My grandma told me and I have to admit I agree with her. I have really golden brown hair, hazel eyes, and beautifully tan skin. Now I know people think the sun kills us. Well they’re lying in fact we can walk in the sun just like a normal person but, we try to avoid doing it. It makes us uncomfortable. Now back to the story. I’m going to save you the sob story of myself and skip to my middle school years. That’s where I met someone who changed my life completely.

Chapter 2

I was a quiet kid. Kept to myself. Since I exceeded way past the other kids getting A+’ s all the time the teachers would let me do pretty much what I wanted (I pretty much read and sat quietly or working). It was there where I met him. It was a cold day at school. I was sitting at my own table sharing brief glances with other kids. It was like I was the plague. They always looked away quickly. There was a new kid that day. He moved from Michigan to Texas. Well he looked pretty lost. Now I didn’t invite him over but, I didn’t deny his presence. He sat across from me. Then is when I realized he was actually very handsome. He had golden brown hair, brown eyes, and was well muscled. I was curious I admit I mean I’m still a girl. He smiled at me to reveal shiny, straight, and white teeth. I smiled back. I considered tuning into his mind but, then decided not to.
“So what’s your name?” he asked. I thought for a minute I mean I don’t get asked that a lot because there is no family for me. I hesitated.
“Angelica.” I said
“That’s pretty. I’m Adrian.” he said.
“That’s nice”
“What’s your favorite type of music?”
“I don’t have one.”
“Oh. Okay. Well do you mind telling me where the library is? I really need a book.”
“Sure. Go down the hall make a right then walk a few yards and turn left and there you go.”
“Will you show me the way?” he asked with a sly/shy smile.
“No! I mean, no thank you. I will just stay here.” I said getting uncomfortable.
“Oh. Well see you later.” he said with disappointment written all over his face. Then he ambled away. The bell finally rang for lunch to be over. I hurried out of there pretty quickly. Luckily I didn’t have any classes with Adrian. I knew I had to get out of school quick. Then I heard his voice “Hey, Angelica! Come back!” he called. I started to run but I couldn’t run at my fullest speed or things would get messy so he caught up quick.
“Hey what happened ? I was calling and you didn’t slow down. What’s wrong?” he asked.
”I have to get home right now or I’m in trouble.” I said.
“Can I walk you home?”
“No, sorry. Now I have to go.” I said starting to walk away but he grabbed my arm. Then he jerked back like I burnt him.
“You are freezing.” he said with a shocked/worried expression.

Chapter 3

I am so STUPID! I shouldn’t have let him touch me. What am I going to do? I turned and ran into the woods that was straight a crossed from the school. Once I was hidden in the trees I ran harder than ever before. I heard him calling for a few minutes but then his voice faded. I dreaded facing him tomorrow but I knew I had to even though my grandma was dead she made me promise to go to school every day so I do. It felt like I was repaying her for taking care of me. The rest of the night I did homework and listened to the nighttime music then I heard something in the distance I jumped down from my perch on an oak tree and ran in that direction of the noise. Did I mention that vampires can hear really well. I came across a house that I saw a few years ago it actually was my grandma’s house before she died. Now a family of four lived there. I saw the mother and father in the living room watching TV. I walked around and hopped lightly on to the roof I peaked into a room that used to be mine. Now there was a little girl in there. She looked like she was about 10 or 11. I could hear the sound very clearly now. I climbed to the other side of the roof and there it was the sound I was following the room was empty so I climbed in the open window. I walked over to the sound maker. I looked at it curiously then I heard some footsteps outside the door. I quickly jumped out the window. Then I turned around an peeked into the window. There stood Adrian in his blue jeans and a muscle shirt. He was laying on his bed reading a book. I looked closer at the title page. I was astonished he was reading ‘Pride and Prejudice’. I looked at his bedside table. There were a lot of classical books. “Angelica? Angelica? Is that you?” he asked in a confused voice. I quickly turned and vanished. I mean like disappeared. He got up out of his bed and looked out the window. “I must be imagining things.” he muttered. I climbed the tree that was next to his house I watched him as he slept. I was trying not to but finally I relented and read his mind. He was dreaming about me. I did a double take. He was wondering if he really saw me tonight or if he was going nuts. He was also thinking about my hair, eyes, and personality. When it was morning I ran to the house I borrowed clothes from. It was a pair of dark blue jeans and a pretty tank top.

Chapter 4

At lunch he sat a crossed from me again. He gave me a friendly smile. I returned it then I turned back to my book. I was reading ’Pride and Prejudice’.
“Oh. I love that book!” said Adrian.
“Me too. Who’s your favorite character? Mine’s Elizabeth.” I said.
“Um… actually mine is… promise you won’t laugh?” He asked me.
“Sure.”
“Mine is ……Elizabeth too.” he said he suddenly looked like the shy boy I saw yesterday.
“That’s cool.” I said
“Really?”
“Yeah. What do you like most about her?”
“You want to know? Really?”
I nodded. He took a deep breath “Well, I like her ‘cause she reminds me of you.”
“I guess I should be flattered.” I said with a worried expression. Before he could answer the bell rang and I jumped up and ran out of there. I finished my classes as usual and was able to avoid Adrian. I ran through the woods to my favorite oak. I climbed up and started on my homework. After I was done I ran around and listened to the forest noises. Then I heard the music again. I ran toward Adrian’s house. He was eating dinner this time. He sat with his family. He joked and teased his little sister and talked to his mom. At that moment I envied him. I missed sitting with my grandma. When she was alive we would talk and learn about the world together. She was the one who taught me how to tune out peoples thoughts. She was really special. Then Adrian glanced at the window and a look of confusion crossed his face. I didn’t duck in time he knew it was me. He motioned for me to go up to his room. I did so reluctantly but, I knew I owed him an explanation. I jumped on to his roof and climbed through his window I waited about fifteen minutes while he finished his dinner. I tuned into his thoughts. Lots of them were of confusion but, some were of excitement that he tried to shake but, kept nagging him. Finally I heard heavy thumps coming up the stairs. I knew it was him. When he opened the door he looked surprised. Oh, I guess I was supposed to wait outside his window. I thought.
“What are you doing here?” he asked.
“Do you want me to leave?” I asked avoiding his question because I had no idea.
“NO! It’s just... I want to know why you avoid me at school and then show up at my house?” His eyes showed the hurt. He liked me! Mostly like a friend but still…he like me!
“Well mostly because I like the music you usually listen to.” I said.
“You like my country music?”
I looked at him in confusion “That’s what it’s called. Wow. They use to come up with better names for songs.”
He looked at me for a long time then asked me the question I dreaded.
“Where’s your parents? Aren’t they worried about you?”
I averted his gaze and said “Can we listen to some country music now? I really like it.” I moved toward the machine and then realized I didn’t know how to turn it on.
“Can you please turn it on?” He stared at me astonished for a second then spoke. “I will if you answer my questions.” He had me in a corner, but I wouldn’t give away my secret so easily. I turned toward the window and ducked out then disappeared into the night. I ran to the house where I borrowed clothes. I took a quick shower since they were somewhere else. Grabbing the clothes I wanted to wear, throwing them on, and disappearing into the forest again. I sat at my favorite oak. What am I going to do? I was restless till morning. At the first light of dawn I got up and started walking toward school. It was painful seeing Adrian again today but, he started
