Day: 11. September 2009

It was like any of those normal days. Those average days where I had to spend my dull day in a burning hot school and learn absolutely nothing. But unlike most people, I have to be on consist alert of any danger, or a threat….. of me. I have to be careful about not showing my fangs, or my vampire powers by accident. Imagine how hard it is to be able to run as fast as a car, and have to be as slow as I can during a stupid gym race and have to purposely lose, so I am the last person to think who can run effortlessly fast. Or how about being so used to being as quite as a bug and have to stomp my feet on the ground like an elephant just to match the other human kids in my school? Yeah, it is difficult. But I have managed for 14 years. Fourteen long, long years. But once in a while, I can slip.

It was a bright sunny afternoon, just like any other day. Birds were singing, flowers bloomed cheerfully, and the grass rustled as the wind blowed by. I stepped out the front doors of Joan Willers Middle school, and listened to the people wave their friends good-bye. I stepped down the stairs and heard many “See ya at school tomorrow” ‘s and “Bye bye so and so,” ‘s, but not one person called my name, Luna, to say a farewell. Not one said, “Bye Luna, see you tomorrow!” Well, unless you count a jerk calling out, “See you later, Loser Luna,”  as I walked on the sidewalk.  They are lucky I don’t bite them.

However, I didn’t mind and brought my attention toward the wonderful and fine day. I kept on walking home, but couldn’t help think what stupid rubbish that humans made up about vampires burning painfully in the sun. Vampires may prefer the darkness, however, they are not effected by sunlight in anyway. I began to smirk at the ridiculous myths about vampires! Sleeping in coffins, no reflection in mirrors! Not much of the myths were correct, except for maybe the garlic, which most vampires are allergic to, but they certainly have never killed a vampire (unless they had an extreme allergic reaction),  living a long time (max amount of years is 300 years old), and oh, yes. Vampires will some times drink human blood. But I have not taken a scent or a drip  of human blood, or any blood ever in my mouth.

I began to giggle a bit at a funny vampire joke, and became unaware of what’s around me and where I had gone. It took me a few minutes to realize the echo of foot steps behind me that whispered in my ears. The pattern demolished as I stopped laughing, but was replaced by a soft voice.

“So what were you laughing at?” A soft serious voice of a young girl rang. I stopped walking and stood there for a minute, then turned around to face a familiar girl. She was a tall, skinny with long dark brown hair and nearly black eyes.

“Nothing,” I replied as I looked at her for a moment and remembered she used to be in my school last year before she transfered. I couldn’t remember her name, but I think it was Emma.  Looking at her serious frown on her flawless pale skin,  I remembered what a downer she was to the school, and how excited I was to have her gone, despite that I have never talked to her. If you knew me (If anyone actually knew me!), they would know how different…umm….. Emma was from me. I have a clear sense of humor and usually perky  like no one has ever seen and maybe if people gave the time to talk to me, they would no that! However,  Emma was a serious and depressing person, who could even make the sun go dark.

” Yeah, I don’t think so,” The girl gave a smirk, which was the only time I seen her smile, “You are Luna Starel, correct? I am Enola Dolly.”  Emma, I mean Enola suddenly seemed more cheerful, or which was a large shock that gave me a shiver down my back. What was she playing at? She has smiled before at school last year. I wasn’t sure what she was up too, but I didn’t really care to find out

“Yes, I have seen you before. You were at my school last year. And I am pretty sure I have seen you walking on the opposite sidewalk, ” I told Enola. I gave her an awkward smile and explained to her I have to get home. I turned around and began to walk away.

I heard a strange giggle from Enola’s throat as she said, “All right, but watch those fangs of yours, vampire.” I stopped dead and turned to face her. A pair of white fangs could be seen from her mouth.
