 feel so weird this morning. My eyes are sharper than ever. My whole body feels different. My gaze rests on my hand, which clenches into a fist. Stronger. It's like mum explained it to me. My senses are much more pronounced. And ... I'm thirsty. But it's not so strong that I can't control myself. It's just a light scratch in my throat and an uncomfortable need. It's like craving for candy when the house is empty and all the shops are closed. Mum said that in the first few days the desire still grows. The hand that was just clenched lies down on my chest. I also feel that my heart is beating much slower. It takes 5 days for me to fully awaken as a vampire. Then my senses will be 10 times sharper and my current slow heartbeat will fall silent forever.

I should go down to the kitchen to see Mum and John, they'll probably be waiting. To find out how my first night was.

Luckily John's sons aren't here yet. When we got to the house yesterday, he told me, on a tour of his kingdom, that he has three sons. The eldest is called Conner and is currently traveling. He's coming here in four days, to himself, or rather to us, home. The other two are called Adam and Jayden, they still have a week of school and then they go straight to Italy for four weeks, so luckily it still takes me to get to know them.

I quickly gather my hair in a braid, run cold water through my face and brush my teeth quickly. A jogger and a simple t-shirt should be enough for both of them. Once at the bottom, Mum immediately rushed towards me with open arms and a big smile on her face. Your loving hands embrace my body.

"Happy Birthday my darling"

She screams in my ear and at the same time presses a kiss on the cheek. She slowly lets go of me again and takes out a small cherry-red box. She hands it over to me with feeling and calm. Gently, as if I could destroy the box, I open the little thing. Inside is a beautiful golden, old chain.

"This is my darling for you, this necklace once belonged to my mother."

When she mentions my grandmother, you can briefly see the sadness on her face. I never met my grandmother because my mother's family was wiped out by hunters about a hundred years ago. Only she managed to escape. But I don't want to think about that now, because despite all the circumstances, today is my birthday and I love holidays. Mum seems to be of the same opinion, because the little spark of sadness has already been wiped from her face and she shines again up to both ears when she tries to put the chain on me. She gestures for me to turn around. I put my braid aside so that it can better reach my neck. 

"Thank you mum. She is beautiful."

With a kiss on the cheek, I thanked her. And also wrap my arms around her neck. When we break out of the hug, John comes up to me. Relaxed as always, he stops about a meter in front of me. He looks as usual, perfectly styled. Even so early in the morning he wears suit pants and a black shirt with a tie. When I look at him like that, my outfit seems a bit sloppy. His lips form a slight smile that draws dimples from his cheeks.

"I congratulate you Jenny. I have a little something for you too."

He says as kindly as he can. After a quick reach in his pocket, he also hands me a small box. This is black. Another chain? I take it and opened it, full of tension. At first glance, I don't quite understand whether this is serious or whether it is just a bad joke. I really didn't expect such a gift. No that can only be a joke. He'll be laughing at me in a moment and say something like "tricked". But before I can think any further, I'm already talking.

"A car key? You haven't given me an A .."

I can't even pronounce it, but John helps me out. He takes a step closer and taps the key in the box with his finger.

"Yes, a car. It's in the garage, I hope you like it. It's a BMW 325 i convertible."

I can not believe it. I still look at the box. I have never received such an expensive gift. I feel a little bad just taking it. I'm always so ignorant of John and he actually seems nice enough. He took us in, he's always good to my mother and now he's still doing something like that. Am I doing him wrong by thinking so badly of him?

I close the lid. Look at John and hand it back to him.

  • The Vampire In Me   Tempting

    Around four o'clock at night I am torn from my dream world by dull noises that come from below into the room illuminated by the moon. Mum and John are sure to be on their way. I can still hear her whispering and I can also hear Conner's voice, didn't he get up to say goodbye? The words cannot be understood by my drowsy mind. Yawning, I straighten up in bed and let my good and bad side argue in my head about whether I should get up again to say goodbye to both of them. Or rather let me fall back into bed and snuggle up under the cozy blanket again. Since my good side is too tired to fight, the bad side wins a battle that has not started. My body sinks down onto the warm, wrinkled sheet. The eyelids contract again. I'll take care of the spell, don't worry. Are these really Conner's words? What is that supposed to mean? What spell? And it's getting dark again. My dreams peacefully fill the rest of the night, as always, I dream of him, whoever he may be. The bright rays of the sun that

    Notices Conner. The impassive head was in his crossed arms, which are resting on the table."Discuss less than you tell my son."John answers with a slight smile. Ooh dear, if John smiles it doesn't mean a good thing. One of my brows goes up, tense and skeptical. My body tenses and seeks eye contact with my mother."Mum."I address her in a threatening voice. But she still doesn't look at me. Her eyes move a little frantically in John's direction. What's wrong with her. She wriggles back and forth in her chair, acting like a child who has broken something. Then John pushes his hand to my mother's and asked a question in a lowered voice that we can hear."Do you want or should I be my love?"I look at the picture in front of me. I keep my arms crossed in front of my chest. Something is wrong. What do they have to say? They shouldn't excite us so much and

  • The Vampire In Me   Discuss

    It has now been three weeks. I got used to the house. It is beautiful here. I don't think it's so bad living under one roof with John either. He usually leaves me alone. Conner has proven to be a good friend and even better teacher. He taught me in such a short time to keep my thirst under control. Everyone was thrilled that I managed to hold back a little so quickly. I have to admit that Conner's method of inviting women home almost every day has worked for me. Even if he didn't think of me first when he was invited. He told me it was a win win situation. We have even been outside among people, just briefly so as not to overstrain our luck. I was so happy to get out again, even if I'm only allowed out with observation, I think it's great. Since I don't have any friends here, except for Conner, I'm very happy if he finds time for me. It was fascinating, I could stand against the desire and control myself. I found it difficult to concentrate because the sweet smell of blood stung my

  • The Vampire In Me   I agree

    `` My mother died about 40 years ago. I also had nothing to do with my father for a long time because I just wanted to be to myself after her death. He quickly found a new wife whom he married after 10 years. I hated him for forgetting my mother so quickly. You have to understand, when you have such a long life, time goes differently. 10 years are nothing. I found out that she became pregnant. It was mean of me that I didn't even want to see the little one. Then they had another child. And my hatred grew over time. I sank formally in it. I hated them all. This woman, these children, and especially my father, who simply built a new family for himself after swearing his love to my mother centuries ago. My only wish was that they all die. But when I heard that my father's new wife had actually died. I felt dirty. I wanted her death from the start. I understood that she wasn't the cause of my anger. About a year after her death, I pulled myself together and went to my father. It was bro

  • The Vampire In Me   Dead

    Sorry little one, that's not how it was meant, sit down on the sofa, I'll just get dressed and then we can talk."His voice is suddenly very gentle and serious. He's like a changed man. His hand comes off me and he points to the black sofa that is in front of the window. I do what he says and sit down. He quickly digs a few items of clothing out of his chest of drawers and quickly disappears behind a door. It must lead to his bathroom. My body is still very tense. It calms down a bit when he comes back wearing a gray t-shirt and dark jeans. He sits down next to me at some distance."So what's on your mind?"He rests his elbows on his knees. I feel his eyes scrutinize me and seek contact with mine. I'm slowly feeling more comfortable around him again. Now that he's wearing something and it seems that he really wants to get into a normal conversation with me. I start with my request."I just had a few

  • The Vampire In Me   Warmth

    Only when I got up from the meadow did I notice all the dead people around me, all of them were covered in blood and I understood that it was my work. My hands were smeared with blood, the white dress I was wearing on my body was covered with red spots and I could still taste the blood on my lips, the metallic, slightly salty and yet sweet taste. The sweet smell was in the air and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it? Isn't that really me? No it was just a stupid dream, I'll learn and I'll control myself, I'll make it. I am not going to kill anyone. I promise myself that no one will ever die for my thirst. I know I can do it!There is a knock on the door, which opens immediately. My mother peeks in. When she sees that I'm awake, she walks into the room."Hello Darling."Like an angel, she slides over and sits down on the bed with me. Without another word, she hugs me tightly. The tears are rolling down my cheeks and I can't stop it. Again I can
