All Chapters of The life I wished for: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

     After reading the letter I was more confused. It did answer why the cooler said food... Its just what was in it. It did not look anything like food. I opened the cooler and saw the drinks. They were more like a a syrupy textured liquid. Inside the cooler were plastic bottles. They were the size of coffee cups; clear and filled with this bright red syrup. These bottles had lids on them so you could not smell what was inside. After reading this letter though, I had a feeling I knew what was in them. The thought scared me. I did not dare open them. I was sure this was a joke. Me a vampire? I knew I was missing my memory, and now knew my name... Asoka; but I kept thinking there's no way I am a vampire. They don't exist!     I decided not to open the container, but to instead take a look around. I walked outside first. I hoped this would tell me

     I sat on the bed staring at the cooler. I was hungry. I felt I could not deny The truth any longer. I had too many things pointing out I was not human anymore. If the cooler had the answer, I had to know. I needed the truth. I got out of bed, walking to the cooler, every Limb of my body shaking. I kneeled down next to the cooler, taking the lid off. There they were; 24; 8-ounce sized coffee cups of what I was sure to be blood. This was the same amount of blood that was in a human body.      This took me off Guard. If I was a vampire... was I going to drink human blood, or could I just live off animals. "Hahaha!" I laughed out loud at myself, still hoping this was all a bad joke. I picked up one container, held my breath, and opened it. Nothing bad happened at least. As I released the air I was holding, breathing in new air, it all hit me at once.

     I looked around the town for a vampire with a car. I did not know how to tell who was a vampire, and who was not. I remember the lady wearing a worn down dress. Assuming that all humans wear that, all I needed to do was find someone in nice clothes. I looked at all the apartments as I walked. They were 2-4 stories high. Some were run down, while others looked nice. As I got to the end of what seemed to be the main street, I saw it. He was standing next to his car. His skin shined like a tourmaline gem. A lime green, shiny, but not sparkly. The light seemed to hit his skin like stained glass. I found one! I was not sure if he was a noble or a dhampir, but I needed to get to the capital. I needed to find Anthony so he could explain to me why he did this. The things the lady told me popped in my head. Humans as food. Was this why my past was not worth it, because I was a human? Vampire food.     I walked as slow as I could to the man. He c

     It had been two days since we had stopped in Hustle Town. We only had 2 more days before we reached the capital. Helium and I haven't really talked since we left the town. I do not know if he could tell I wasn't in the mood for talking or what, but he kept quiet. We had made a couple of stops since Hustle Town, but I did not get out of the car to see what the places looked like. Helium only stopped to get something to eat each day. I was starting to realize when Helium drank 24 ounces of blood, he would stay full a whole day. I did the math in my head. 24 equaled a day, so double that would be 48 ounces for 2 days. If I go off this, and double that then to stay full 4 days, I would need to drink 96 ounces. To stay a full week.... I'd have to kill a human, 192 ounces. That was all the blood in an adult blood. How much I had drank the night before I was considered a full blooded noble. There was 24, 8 ounce bottles. Thats 192 ounces.  &nb

         The elevator moved at a seemingly slow rate. It seemed like it stopped at every floor. Humans and vampires were getting on and off what seemed to be every 2 or 4 floors. I don't know how long it normally takes to get to the 100th floor, but it took me about 30 minutes. I stood in the corner trying not to talk to anyone. There were a few people who seemed to know who I was though. They would turn around and say hi, or ask me how I have been. I kept my answer short. When they would ask where I had been, I would say I tried going to the ocean but got home sick and came back mid-trip. No one seemed to miss me, but a few were worried about why I hadn't been there. I even heard one of the vampires saying they thought the prince had drunk my blood and killed me. It seemed like it was normal not to talk about where people went if they were missing. I could tell who the vampires were, because they talked in a low voice I wouldn't have been able to hear if I
