Transition

- By Tokyo_teacher

I see the sunlight barely coming through my curtain covered windows and I have never wanted the sun to go away more. I live all alone and I usually hate being inside, but I just can't seem to get out my dark house.

Last night is a blur and it wasn't because I was drinking, I know what that is like. Today feels so different. Everything is heightened, my hearing and smelling has never felt like this. I can hear the dripping of the water tap in the bathroom down the hall. I smell everything from every single room even if I'm not near it. I'm hungry all the time, but everything I eat tastes disgusting to me. I'm craving something, I just don't know what that is.

This is so unexplainable, I can't comprehend why all this is happening to me. I have no idea why my senses are so heightened and why everything I eat is so nasty. From my back bedroom I can hear a car door slam and footsteps walking up the sidewalk to my house. I walk to the door making sure I don't walk through sunlight. Then it hits me. This smell I've never smelled before. I don't know what it is, but I love it and the smell weirdly satisfies my hunger.

I open the door and I feel my blood rush to my face, my mouth begins to water uncontrollably and my eyes burn for some reason. Without thinking I leap towards the salesman and bite his neck. I find myself drinking him dry and I'm not hungry anymore. As he falls lifeless to the ground I return to my normal self and instantly my body over flows with remorse. That's it!

I'm a vampire and I have no idea how. This can't be real I need to bring this body inside before the sunlight gets to this side of the porch and I can't get to him. I grab his cold body and drag him inside. I am surprisingly really strong and I don't struggle bringing his body in. All this is a lot to take in.

Just yesterday I was a regular woman and now I'm a vampire that has killed someone. Once the sun goes down I will go and find answers to how this happened to me. As the suns going down I get ready to leave the house. When I get outside I hear all the cars, animals and anything that makes noise. Hearing everything alone is enough to drive someone insane. As I'm walking down the sidewalk I see someone walking by them selves.

Instantly I attack and leave them bloodless. I can't control myself around anyone. It just happens and no one will be safe. I can't kill another person, it's slowly killing me inside. I move the body and put it in bushes next to a tall building. I have no idea where to get answers on what I've become. Who could I go to? Who can I trust with something as big as this? I keep walking trying to clear my head of what I've done. I've killed twice! They could've been someones parent or wife/husband. I don't see how people that have killed someone can live with themselves.

Once again I feel the blood rush to my face as I smell a group of people walking about 200 yards in front of me. I need to fight this, I have to! My breathing increases rapidly and I charge towards them. No! I stop running and notice I'm already more than halfway behind them. I'm so fast, I know they won't be able to run away, but I still tell them to run. When they turn around and see me they scatter. I give in to the monster inside me and chase them. I capture the first and rip right through her neck. One by one I kill all of them. Blood. Everywhere.

What have I become? Before anybody can see the pile of bodies I take them to the nearest dumpster. I run home and lock myself inside to keep anyone else from being one of my victims. I want to find out how I can go back to being a regular human. Of course, why haven't I tried the internet, it has everything. I'm searching how to get rid of being a vampire and only one way shows. It's to stab myself in the heart with something wooden.

I may hate the fact I've killed innocent people, but I can't kill my self. I won't. I go to sleep trying not to think of all the tragic events that has happened today. As I sleep I dream of all the people I've killed and how their face showed complete terror as I ripped their neck apart. I wake up in a sweat and can't fall back asleep. I just sit there in my bed watching as the clock slowly changes from three to four A.M. and so on. While I'm sitting there I hear someone running by my house. I can hear the blood pumping through their body and I'm tempted to eat. The urge to feed on this person is too much to handle.

Suddenly, I begin running out the door to fulfill what I have become. I jump on the helpless runner and drink every last drop of blood she has to offer. When she's falling to the ground I notice something. My whole body shakes and I can't control my hysterical crying. I've just killed a pregnant woman. I hear the unborn child's heart beat begin to gradually slow down. Then stop. That's it, I can't live with this. There is no way I can control it. I flee the murder scene and run inside my house.

I grab the wooden leg of the dining room table and break it off. I sharpen it with a knife and put it through my heart. As I'm falling to the floor I am satisfied that I cannot kill anyone else. Finally, I'm free.
