Two Of A Difference

Turning

It had been hours since the full moon and honestly it scared me!

People at school made fun of me when I hid under the desk, only because of the howls. But they don't know what I do! They aren't just wolf howls, their something much worse, something dangerous to my kind. Werewolves.

The feeling inside me still lingered, how long would this moon last!?

I had locked myself in my small cupboard sized bedroom and switched off all the lights.

My heart was racing, I never understood why this happened to me, I mean I wasn't even a supernatural creature!

Diary entry:

20 minutes left! Only 20 minutes until I Vanessa Merrell get turned into a vampire! I have been waiting for this moment for as long as I can remember! I'm scared, I'm not sure if this will hurt! Will what happened to Jackson happen to me? If it does at least I will have my diaries to help me remember.

A knock on the door caused me to quickly hide my secret diary.

"Vanessa! Open up! It's time!" I heard my older brother Mark yell.

Mark frightened me, I obviously know the powers you inherit when you become a vampire, but he made them look super scary! He would compel me every so often, if it wasn't for my special necklace filled with vervain my father gave me I don't know if I'd still be alive. Mark has been a vampire for about 50 years, pretty much everyone in this family has been a vampire for several centuries but that's the problem, I don't understand how I'm part of this family because vampires can't have children.

"Vanessa!" He shouted, distracting me from my stray thoughts.

"Coming" I replied nervously.

I slowly walked over to the door unlocking it carefully, these are my last few minutes of being human.

As I opened the door I saw someone super speed into a nearby room.

"Mark we discussed this already! Your powers don't scare me!" I stated.

"What powers?" He replied, he was standing behind me holding my diary.

"H-H-How did you do that, vampires aren't that fast" I whispered.

"Do what? Read your pathetic diary?" He laughed chucking it behind his back, I heard a faint giggle from the same nearby room.

"Come on! We don't have all night" he ordered,

"I'm able to be turned whenever you guys want!" I corrected.

"But you think father will break a simple stupid tradition" Mark stated.

We began to walk down to the basement, I forgot about the strange super speed creature I just saw.

I stood at the door of the basement, my mind was racing, 'do I really want to do do this?' I thought.

Without a second thought Mark shoved me inside the big stone walled room.

"Ah Vanessa my darling" my father greeted.

"Good evening father" I replied.

I glanced around the room, I guess the tradition was to have all the family here because I saw some siblings I haven't seen in years.

"Abbey!" I shouted running up to my sisters arms, I remember abbey from my young childhood, she was definitely my favorite sibling, she was always so kind to me and she always protected me when Mark and his brother Jackson threatened to suck my blood and turn me on the spot.

We hugged for several minutes until father called me over.

"Good luck" Abbey whispered in my ear.

I slowly walked up to my father,

"Vanessa my dear you understand there's no turning back after this is done ok?"

"Yes father, I understand the consequences" I replied.

I stood in the center of the circular stone walled basement, all my siblings sat cross legged in a circle, my father and mother sat in large throne like chairs in front of me.

"Are you ready" my father questioned.

I gently nodded my head.

"I need you to remove your vervain necklace and replace it with this daylight ring" he ordered.

I nervously did as I was told.

"Goodbye human Vanessa" he whispered.

What I saw next horrified me, he dug his sharp fangs into his wrist and pushed his gushing blood wrist into my mouth. There was a tinge metal taste in the blood, at first I refused to drink it but then I felt forced to.

I stared into fathers eyes, blood curdling veins appeared under his eyes.

"Did you drink it?" He asked.

I nodded terrified about what was about to happen.

"You have two choices! I can snap your neck or suck your blood!"

I was shocked "I have to die?" I stated.

"Snap the neck I guess!" He shouted loudly.

He reached his hands forward and grasped my neck, his hand began to tighten uncomfortably, my wind pipes slowly crushing. My eyes teared up with pain.

"I'm sorry Vanessa" he whispered.

He suddenly grabbed the sides of my head and twisted it in a 360 degree angle.

I heard a loud crack and then all went black.
