I felt emotionless. I felt tired. I felt nothing... When I was fully human, watching the trees zoom by blurred my vision. Now as I'm slowly dying and giving out into a new life as a vampire, everything is different. I can examine every tree although we are speeding by them on the highway. The night seems so beautiful. The rest of John's wake made me feel so weak. My hands wouldn't stop shaking so Evan held onto them. My thoughts were racing and my heart was beating against my ribs. The feeling of passing out as if I haven't drank water in days made my body slumber. I push myself out of the car with all my might. I stand on my two feet but my knees quiver. I shiver at the light breeze and I cling onto the car door. "Adeline?" Evan softly whispers and when I turn to him, I was falling in oblivion. Everybody watched me tensely as I let go of the car door and I grab onto his chest. My frail feet drag on the concrete and I hold onto Evan's body tightly. "She's gonna die." Chandler mutters and I gasp for air. I start to sweat and bile forms in my throat. The worst feeling is being sick on a winter day and this is ten times worst. I can't walk and my body starts to grow numb. I wrap my arms tightly around Evan's neck and he picks me up. They all scurry into the house and I try to stay awake but can't. I yelp out in pain when my body aches. It's truly terrifying that I am dying. They say death is peaceful but who the hell knows the truth? Evan places me on my bed and I clench onto the sheets. He runs his palm over my forehead and collects the sweat. There's pain in his eyes when I look at them but for some reason they seem so beautiful. He gingerly takes of my shoes and tosses them on the floor. "I'm scared." I breathe through my dry parted lips. Chandler stood at the doorway with a glum expression. "I can't do this." I add towards him and he clenches his jaw. "We'll be here when you wake up don't worry." Tears run down my face because I'm afraid. I've never been this afraid of waiting for my heart to stop and my body to shut down. For some reason I hope I don't wake up after. I grab Evan's hand and I tangle my fingers around his. I squeeze tightly and he kisses my forehead. My chest rises and falls slowly and I stare up at the ceiling. My body is tensed from the pain erupting through my bones. My nerves are electric. I shut everything out and my grip on Evan slowly loosens. I let out a long exhale and my heart beats are faint. I slowly close my eyes and for some reason I think of my life. The years that flew as a young child and when I grew up with the kids I went to school with. It was the best things in life and the saddest. It sidetracked me from Evan's voice and his soft strokes on my arms. It pulls me away from reality and slowly shuts me down in darkness. My body relaxes and I hear my heatbeat fade. And stop. From then I hoped during my short time of death, I would see John. ~*~ The quick period of being dead felt like a couple of seconds. However I know it was longer because the sun was seeking through the curtain. When I open my eyes I'm not afraid. I wasn't gasping for air, my body wasn't trembling in fear. I sit up and I'm still in my black dress. I'm by myself in my dark bedroom. From standing I don't feel tired or weak. My body is wide awake and I feel powerful. I jump when I see my reflection in my mirror. I don't look sick or skinny. My skin is a pale but my eyes are light and large. My hair is back to it's full blonde color which is wavy. I turn to the curtain and I creep to the corner of it. A bit of sunlight is pinching through the open space. For some reason I want to stay away from it but I inch closer. My eyes are burning from the light but I can't look away. Gingerly raising my hand I bring it to the light. My fingers hit it and I slowly watch in terror. My eyes widen when my fingers start to burn drastically. For some reason I'm amazed, watching my fingers lose it's beautiful white skin and turn into a dark pink crisp. I wince and pull away when it started to burn. Slowly, my skin on my fingers start to heal back into my normal color. "Wow," I mutter to myself with a smile on my lips. I lift my dress up and I look down to see the vampire bites still on me. The scars never healed even when I became a vampire. I pull my dress down when I smell a strong disgusting scent of melted skin. It was when my skin was burning in the sun. I gag at the smell because it's so strong. I move away and I go through my closet. I take out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I change out of the dress and I hear people talking downstairs. Suddenly, a pain urges in my stomach and I clench it. My throat is burning and my skin feels like it's on fire. Something pokes at my gums and I bring my hand to my mouth. I run to the mirror and I look closely, gaping my mouth wide and staring at the fangs that grew. They are long and sharp, deadly. They're the things vampires need to feed and kill their prey. My eyes glow a dark red around my bright blue irises. I try to calm so I start to take deep breaths. I turn away from the mirror because I wasn't able to look at myself. Suddenly my fangs fade back to my normal teeth. That means my red eyes are gone. I go down the stairs and I bump into Evan. He stares at me before laughing and engulfing me into a hug. "You're okay." He whispers in my ear and plants a kiss on my cheek. I smile but it fades when I smell something so powerful. So amazing and mouth watering. I turn my head and I see my mom in the living room on her phone. The scent is coming off of her. A power over takes me and I quickly march towards her but Evan tugs me back. "No Adeline control." I stare at my mom who isn't paying any attention to us. I grit my teeth, trying to ignore her heart beating and her blood pulsing through her veins. "I'm hungry." I whine and he holds onto me so I don't go after her. My mom turns her head when she hears my voice. "Adeline? Oh my goodness how are you feeling?" She stands from sitting on the couch and I gulp, stepping away. "J-just stay away from me." She stops at her tracks and my dad comes out from the kitchen and wraps his arms around her. Chandler also comes out and stands besides Evan. "It's better if you guys just stay away from her until she has control." There's pain in my mom's expression but she nods her head. My dad smothers her and takes her out the front door. I watch them silently as they get in the car and leave. "How are you feeling?" Chandler asks me and I swallow the lump that formed in my throat. "Just hungry that's all." I admit and he frowns. "When the sun goes down Evan will help you out with that." I furrow my eyebrows and turn to Evan. "I'm going to teach you on how to live like a vampire." Oh god. ~~~~~~
