The girl with the sharp teeth
By: Lillith Black
   

I love walking under the moon, I love scaring kids, but most of all; I love drinking human’s blood. In case you haven’t understood, I’m Lillith Black, a vampire. Vampires are the scariest thing in the world. We love to kill, not only for fun but because we need food. We don’t drink or eat; we suck blood. Sucking blood, of course, kills humans. Relax… our species is getting extinct, so we can’t kill too many people. We attack at midnight, when everybody is sleeping. We have different tactics not to get noticed. I get in the house at night, walking very silently. I then hide in a tomb, or in any other places where I could hide in the house. When my time comes I get out and go to the person’s room. Once I’m in front of the my prey, I pause. Everything is silent in the house, all you can hear is a person breathing. Soon it’ll be over, the person will stop breathing and it will be the end. First, I smell him to understand the quality of the blood. I open my mouth to show the world my sharp beautiful teeth. I bend forward, towards my enemy’s neck. I breathe on it…. I put my mouth on it….and suck….. The blood is mine.

Us vampires are very attractive. We have white, ice-cold skin. Our hair is very dark, mine is black, as my surname says. I can’t tell you what my eyes color is; one day it’s green, one day it’s black, and one day it’s blue. Our eyes change color because of our mood. But our most distinctive characteristic is that our teeth are sharp and white. They need to be sharp, for us to be able to suck enough blood. Have I mentioned that we don’t sleep? Yes, that’s important. How could we go out at night and bite? We still have to hide, though. If somebody found out the reason why million of people disappeared, we - would – be – dead! 

Even though I love being a vampire, I hate my story. I was born in 1845. Ooops… have I forgot to tell you we don’t die unless we’re killed? If I was a regular person, I’d be dead. By now I’d be 164 years old. It all started one night. I was seventeen years old, and my mom was sick, very sick. I was staying up every night until late to cry, because my mom could die of that disease she had. I just was so sad; I couldn’t sleep at all. Sometimes I’d fall asleep at three in the morning, my heart was broken. At that time I was a human so I had feelings too, and I needed to sleep anyway.

One night, while my mom and dad were sleeping, I heard a noise coming from the hall. I was scared. I went to check I somebody was in there but all I could see was my house; there was a tomb, my coat rack, and my shoes. Everything looked normal, so I went back to my room. I was spending my evening thinking and eating, as every other night. Outside the weather was miserable as in the past three months. There was a very big, terrible storm; lightning and thunders were animating it, making me even more upset.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaargh,” I heard all of a sudden. It sounded like mom’s voice. I rushed to her room. My dad was still sleeping, but my mom, oh my mom was awake. Her eyes were begging for help, her body was about to explode, and her hands were sweating so much, I was afraid something bad could happen to her since she was in those conditions. I didn’t need to be scared, because next to her there was a young girl, probably my age, with her mouth wide open. That’s how I sow her sharp teeth.

“It’s not possible…” I never believed in vampires, I always thought they were mythical creatures. I looked at my mom’s neck, blood was coming out like crazy. A red liquid, my mom’s blood, covered the floor. “Noooooooooooo,” I yelled, but it was too late my mom was already gone, sooner than I expected. I was weak, very weak. I fell in my mom’s blood crying. I was about to explode. I was sad, because my mom was dead, and incredibly mad at that stupid vampire.

I stood up, and jumped on her back. I’d do nothing for revenge. So after I attacked her, I bit her on a neck, as if I was a vampire. That, though, was the biggest mistake of my life, or the best thing I’ve ever done. As I bit her, I fell on the floor loosing all my strength. The poison she had in her body was passed to me. I felt as if I was changing, my skin became white, my eyes gold, and my teeth sharpened, I was a whole new person… Oh no, not a person…a vampire!!!!! Ah, ah, ah, ah!!!

And so this is my story, my sad story. Right now I love being a vampire, but I hate life. Sometimes, I go out under the moon, and think… think about my past, which will be always richer!!!

The End,

not of my story; of your life!!
