All Chapters of The Vampire In Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

We're moving the DAY AFTER TOMORROW?" I yell at my mother in rage. My hands slide disoriented through the room. It's full of boxes and papers. Everything was so familiar this morning. My forehead wrinkles and my cheeks are glowing, if I didn't know better I would think my whole body is on fire. I'm hot, too hot.  But she ignores my loud outburst and continues where she left off before I appeared. She takes the small ceramic vase out of the tall oak closet, wraps it in old newspaper and puts it in the gray, open moving box. The discussion that has not yet started is already over. Nipped in the bud. With clenched teeth pressing my jaw, I stare at her in horror. She just goes on without being irritated by me. One memory after the other disappears into the gray box. It's awful, I'm trying to calm myself down, but my body is shaking with anger. I knew it was going to happen soon. I just thought she would give me

The door of Lisa's parents' house pulls me back into the present. I ring the bell. The passage opens immediately. Lisa still has no idea what to expect. On the phone, I just told her that I had something important to tell her.The evening passed quickly, but parting felt like an eternity. We were both crying and looking for a way to stay here but we couldn't find a way out (of course she doesn't know the real reason for our move. I told her my mother got a great job offer) after nine hours It is Alan's turn to say goodbye to my best friend.I wave Lisa one last time and head towards the street. I quickly get my cell phone out of my pocket and call Alan and tell him that we need to meet, it is important. It is already ready at the agreed location.The farewell was quick and painless. After telling him that I'll be gone tomorrow and won't be back, we part as friends. We immediately agreed that we didn't want to try a long-distance relationship. I have

A small smile plays around her full pink lips. "And the cars?" I follow up. Whereby I quickly lose interest in the answer. "They'll follow up with the transport plane." Ashamed, she looks to the side because she taught me to always be economical with my money. But what should I complain about? This makes the journey, or rather the flight, all the more pleasant and it is not my money that is so wastefully spent there. After the check-in, you can board the plane. I only took my purse with me. We got first class seats on the plane. It seems natural to John. I'm slowly starting to like John ...just kidding, my opinion was only bolstered.Despite everything, there are advantages to Mum choosing him (her last boyfriend kept pumping her for money).Afte

 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 hi

 bubbles out of me even before I have put down the empty glass. "Yes of course honey, help yourself." My mum's voice sounds much more relaxed now. I take the bottle and fill my glass to the brim. I am so greedy. I would like to drink straight away from the bottle, but I still have that much control. After the second glass the thirst stops and I put the bottle aside. That should be enough for now. I don't even want to know how strong this urge will be once I'm fully awake.  It has now been four days and my thirst is getting bigger and bigger, I need a lot more blood than on the first day to satisfy the desire. My heart beats very rarely now. Barely. And tomorrow it will stand forever. As if my 'vampire' problems weren't enough for me, part of the evil brood comes from John today. The oldest son is supposed to come home straight away. I just hope he won't cause me too much stress, unfortunately I can hard
