The Story of Tammy Armstrong

“I’m not! I track down and kill your kind! My only interest is finding out why Lucian wants you so badly,” said Selene, the heroine of Underworld. I watched the movie intently on my bed as I unconsciously rubbed the spot where I was bitten when I was six years old. I gazed down at my left shoulder, even though the bite marks had faded long ago it had left something else behind in return. Just like Blade from the movies, I am classified as a Daywalker. Meaning, I can walk freely around in the sun without worrying about it burning me into ashes, but I still craved human blood like any other Vampire. Vampires didn’t have to face my evil torture though; school. I felt a cool breeze ruffle my hair and I got up to close the doors to my balcony, but not before enjoying the breeze on my face. I shivered, closed the doors to my balcony, and crawled back on my bed. My thirst was coming back stronger every night it seemed, the shivers were a good indication of that. The more hungry yo

“Hey, Paul,” I cried. Paul looked over his shoulder at me, quickly turned around and started walking faster. "What an ass," I muttered as I picked up my own place to catch after him. “Did you not hear me when I called your name,” I asked as I finally caught up to him. He shuffled his feet. “I did… but after last night, I didn’t want to see you again…” “I know what happened last night was really bad. But look, he wants me to invite you tonight. As a special guest… join us!” “I’d rather not,” he mumbled. I grabbed him by his collar, finally losing my temper. “Look, I know that Thomas almost drained you of your blood last night, but that doesn’t mean that you can just shut out the world of Vampires.” “Sure it does. All I have to do is just be safe in the sunlight,” he grinned at me. I smiled back and leaned in close to his face, “oh really now? Then how do I go to school?” His smile disappeared and he looked horrified. “That’s what I thought,” I said as my smile grew big

I watched my sister go down the stairs, holding her head up high. She thought she knew everything there was to know about Thomas. But that wasn’t true, I knew him a long time before she did. I sighed and rubbed my eyes as I fought to hold back tears. This was a lot harder on me than I ever thought that it would’ve been.I went into my parent’s old bedroom where I slept at night, ever since I made it my own. I picked up my cell phone and pressed number three for the speed dial. The phone rang, and rang, and just when I was about to give up a groggy voice picked up, “Hello?”“Thomas? This is Annabeth. What did I tell you?”I could hear chuckling over the other end of the phone and I growled and felt my fangs prod out. “Oh, Annabeth, don’t you remember what we did to her? She thinks that her only supplier can be me, and unless she figures it out or breaks it, only then will she realize what we’ve done to her and then she’ll wonder why.”“And when will that be? You’ve messed wi

"Annabeth, your sister here is out of control. We found her smoking in the bathroom, we took away one pack of cigarettes, but then she wiped out another cigarette from her bra. Is she getting these from you?” the principal asked. They found me smoking. Come on, who cares anymore?It was after school hours now, and it was starting to get dark out. Who has parent-teacher conferences this late? Oh yeah, that’s right. It’s a Friday, so they want to keep you from doing something fun. I rolled my eyes at my balding principal.“Yes, I know this. It’s still a little hard trying to keep her from doing bad things when I go to nursing school, and then trying to balance the job that I have as well. I’m thinking about hiring a babysitter for her,” my sister said as she gave me the evil eye.“Is there something else that I should know?” This guy obviously didn’t have kids. I looked at his finger. Huh, there was a wedding ring on there before Ann came in.My sister hesitated, looking th

Later on that night after my sister had finally gone to sleep, I snuck out to meet Thomas and Darien. When I got there, the first thing that Darien did was throw a bag of A negative at me. As I drank my bag of A negative blood; I realized it didn’t taste as good as O negative, but it would have to do.“Now Tammy, while I was away I was having reports done on you. Both Darien and… another source both informed me that you were not drinking human blood anymore. That even when Darien offered you a bag when you invited him inside, you still refused it and kicked him out… Even after you told me you would start drinking normally again,” Thomas said quietly.I could tell that I had really upset him. He wasn’t yelling or even looking at me, rather talking to me like I was a child in trouble. Which I guess I was, in a way.“I was not feeling myself, I guess you could say. I… just didn’t feel up to it.”In the darkness of the woods Thomas said, “Depressed, Tammy, is more like the word to
