Frost
I was only ten when I was changed. I remember it all, a cold windy December evening. Me, small. Innocent. I wondered through the streets, heading home to where Id be safe. If only I had been home when my mother told me to. I still dont understand why I feel the need to disobey her. I should have ran when I saw the man walking towards me, but I carried on, blissfully unaware. That man. He was so beautiful. That's why I didnt run. He was beautiful, and beautiful people were never dangerous. So I thought. The man stopped and stood directly in front of me. His eyes scared me. They were wild, hungry. My heart raced and my legs ached, as if they were desperate to run away. He sniffed the air, then moved so quickly all I saw was a blur. I turned to run away but my legs wouldnt move. Before I even realized it I was being carried off into the winter night. I kicked, hit, and even bit the man while I yelled. He growled, lifted me high in the air, and slammed my body into the concrete road. I heard my bones crack as I screamed out in pain. He continued walking while I faded in and out of conscience.
When I woke up, I was in a small, dank room that smelled of salt and metal. I know now that smell was blood. The beautiful man was sitting in the corner with his legs stretched out, and a naked woman was lying in his lap. She was so pale. Too pale. Blood covered most of her body, as if she had been dipped in crimson paint. My body throbbed and it was too painful to move. I was stuck in one position, with my head turned to face the man, and my legs awkwardly bent beneath me. The man looked up, and smiled, blood trickling out the corner of his mouth.
"Well, look who's joined us. Ive been waiting all night for you to wake up!" He said, even more blood pouring from his mouth. "Theo! Ona! Get in here! She has woken up."
"We heard, and please, don’t be so messy when you eat." Some called out, their voice deep and husky.
Two silhouettes took shape on the gray wall, and materialized into a man a woman. This man wasn’t as beautiful as the one in the corner, and his presence made me instantly calm. A soft glow seemed to radiate from him. The woman ripped that calm away. Her eyes were like knives, silver and sharp .The two were like yin and yang, opposites.
"Charles, this is a child. Couldnt you have brought someone a bit older?" The woman said her voice like bells.
"Im sorry Ona, but she was the only one I could find." The man in the corner, Charles, said.
Charles stood up then, stepping closer to me. I couldnt take my eyes off of him. His face was so utterly beautiful. I wanted to touch his smooth, tan skin. Run my fingers through his spiky black hair. I had never felt anything so intense, being so young. As if Charles felt my intense stare, he walked over and stroked my cheek. I shivered.
"Shes a cute little kid. Smells delightful, too." He said, licking his lips.
"Charles, shes just a little girl. Somebody’s going to know shes missing." Ona growled. She bared her teeth, exposing a row of white teeth like small daggers.
When I saw her mouth, fear suddenly over took me, high jacking my body. I screamed, twisting my broken body, making me scream even more.
"Change her! Do it! Do it now Charles! Someones going to hear her!" Ona screamed. She was frantic.
Charles pinned me down, pressing his body against mine, making my heart race. My body felt like fire. I saw Theo licking his lips. Charles bent down and whispered in my ear.
"Its okay. Whats your name?"
"La..La..." I stammered, unable to speak.
"Its okay. Itll all be over soon."
Charles pressed his lips to my neck. I froze, shock by his actions. His mouth opened slowly, and something sharp ran across my neck. His teeth. I tried to scream, but it was too late. His razor teeth sank into my neck. Excruciating pain filled me, and my spine cracked and snapped as I twisted into impossible positions. Every bone in my body snapped one by one. Blood filled my mouth as I choked on my own teeth. I felt more razor teeth rip into me, and horrible noises of monsters filled my brain.
Finally, I passed out, spiraling into what felt like an eternal darkness.
