Born a Vampire

17 years later Emiry Marie " Bye," I yelled to mom as I walked out of the house into the cold dark morning, not even sure why I even bothered to say anything. A cold -brisk wind greeted me as I carefully stomped on the snow avoiding sinking into deeper piles. It felt like January which tended to get beyond cold in this little town but it was only December meaning January would be colder. I quickly unlocked my car door, well actually my mom's car. I took it over a few years ago. Thinking of why did make my shoulders sag, I took it over, or better yet she can no longer use it. "Why is that Em? " I said to no one in particular. " She's a drunk!" The plainest and simplest answer was that she hasn't driven it since dad passed away 5 years ago. She hasn't done much of anything just drink day in and day out. It has been hard fending for myself, but after 5 years I think I might just be a pro at scavenging and cooking up a few things here and there. Hopping into the small two-door Honda I

We arrived at Corrie's house pretty quickly. She honestly did not live far at all. As I got out of the car and glanced down the sidewalk, the memories of us walking to school popped up in my head. I miss those times of gossip and not caring about things. The carefree ways of our youth, before I was forced to grow up. " Are you coming daydreamer?" Corrie asked as she slammed the car door. I quickly followed her, she opened the front door to be greeted by her mom. He mom helda tray with some amazing lavender cookies that ingulfed the house with a pleasnt smell. Her mom stood at the foot of the stairs holding a tray and welcoming us in. My heart leaped with love, she was my other mother, that acted more like a mom than my real one did. Ever since Dad passed away mom started to drink, and I mean drink. I never see her anymore ,if I do she is either drunk or hungover. Fresh-baked cookies were never a thing at my house, hell food wasn't even a thing. For the most part, I could go withou

The night was full of thoughts and no sleep, my emotions were haywire and I had no idea why. I was exhausted but got up for the day anyways. Dragging my feet into the bathroom I quickly shed my PJs, letting them fall to the floor. The bathroom was cold-causing goosebumps to appear rapidly over my legs. Without even thinking I hopped in the shower before feeling the water. It was cold at first making my grogginess fade quickly into irritation. As the water warmed I let out a long sigh releasing the tension slowly from my body. My eyes closed only to hear Sean's husky voice against my mind as the vision of his muscles came into focus. " Get a grip already!" I irritatedly said to myself as I grabbed the face wash and started to scrub my face a little harder than normal. Once again his words rang in my mind, " why would I do that?" as his calloused fingers rubbed my chest. My hand automatically traced the same space his hand had. The feeling came back from that night, a throb below my be

By the time I got home, I was truly exhausted. My mind ran all over the place. The only thing I could think to do was drown my body in a hot bath. I started the bath and lit a few candles to make the room dim and peaceful. I submerged myself in a mix of Epsom salts and lavender bath bombs. The hot water surrounded my cold frozen body leaving behind a quick sting before warming me up to its fullness. " Maybe it's all a bad dream, I actually am sleeping and still dreaming, that could be plausible right?" I said before taking a deep breath and plunged my head under the warm water. I opened my eyes under the water feeling a sting before I let the air out of my lungs making small bubbles escape my nose. I rose out of the water inhaling cool air trying to still process everything. I brushed the drops off my face accidentally touching my lips. A flash of Sean's lips on mine pulsated through my body. With the feeling of his strong arms pulling my waist closer to him, my nipples hardened wit

" What a way to enter," Corrie said immediately seeing Ellis caring me in. My cheeks felt feverish, and I knew I was blushing up a storm. " One must never let a lady walk barefoot in the cold," Ellis said as he carefully set me down. His warmth lingered on my body making me want to jump back into his hold.Corrie's eyes sparkled as she looked at me, we had an unspoken language, "I know, I know so stinking cute!!," were the words she was communicating to me. I grabbed the shoes she was holding and slipped them on. The night couldn't get any better, I thought as the shoes fit just like Cinderella. " Let me know what you think, it took me forever to get it all worked out in there," Corrie said pointing to another set of metal doors that lead into the gym. "Will do and I am sure it's great." I smiled at her. The doors opened as Ryan walked out. " Hey guys, it looks amazing in there Corrie." " Thanks, I tried my best. I just have a little longer at door duty, sorry Ryan" " No worries, I w
