I have become what I was born to kill.

I am tainted.

The blood that flows through my veins is no longer pure and good.

I am now a vampire.

***

When I opened my eyes, I expected to see Zander hovering over me. But, he wasn’t there. What I did wake to was a burning in my throat and the overwhelming urge to quench it. The intensity of the thirst was unlike anything I’d ever felt before.

I launched myself forward into a sitting position, grasping at my neck. I knew why this was happening to me. I had turned … I wanted blood.

Panic began to set in even more when I realized I wasn’t in my bed. I wasn’t even in my room. I sat in a king sized bed beneath a soft, light blue comforter. Pillows were piled high behind me and the sheets felt softer than any sheets I’d ever slept on.

Where was I?

The walls were white and fans hung down from the high vaulted ceiling. A dresser and an armoire were the only other furniture, aside from a comfortable looking chair by the window. A window which was heavily covered, I might add.

The sight of that window which blocked out the light set off an entirely new feeling. Fire traveled a spider web through my body, spreading out wider and wider until I could feel it in my fingers and toes. Unknowingly, I flexed my fingers and then clenched the comforter into both my fists. I would never see daylight again. No more sunrises or sunsets. No more swimming in the lake or playing at the falls on a hot summer day. It was the end of my human life.

I pushed the blanket aside and swung my legs over the side of the bed. My feet sunk into the plush white carpet. I wiggled my toes. It was as if every fiber of the fabric tickled against my skin. I’d never really paid attention to what carpet felt like before.

Silently, I thanked the heavens that at least I was wearing my own clothes. I had on a pair of loose black shorts and matching tank. It was nice to have one thing that was familiar since nothing in this place, so far, was mine.

Did I look different now that I was a vampire? How much of a change would there be in my appearance?

I pushed away the burning in my throat and searched the room. I found an open door on the far side of the room where white tile flooring could be seen through the opening, so I assumed it was a bathroom. The short walk felt a bit like walking on clouds. It felt like I didn’t weigh a thing.

I entered the bathroom, expecting the tile to be cool against my bare feet and was surprised when I didn’t feel any chill. It was soft and slick, but not cold. Gliding across the small room, I made my way over to the mirror above the bathroom sink.
