Vampire Kiss Holy, majestic cup of blood beckoning approaches me with great power and glory. The crested cup touches my bare lips. I am hungry. Hungry for blood. As the day begins to fold away its burning light, the#moonappears out of the utter darkness. It is as if I am so devoted towards this precious time yet nothing is special about it to anyone else. This is the time when spirits creep out to play their games of torture, when the week, crooked branches of the dead trees seem to blossom into mighty towers above everything. And there hidden behind an army of ashes and stone, is the church. However it is not just a place of worship, it is a place of both peril and sanctuary. In order to be excepted into this community, you must be immortal. That is the key to being excepted by the council. The dead, the undead, and even living, all come to transform into highly respected and feared creatures. Since it is so arduous to join, a group of about ten all become apprentices to vampires. Merciless, bloodthirsty vampires. The reason I know this, is because I am one. Monday 1st of January "Right now settle down please. Get in your seats before I loose my temper!" Mr. Major, all round horrible guy. I never wanted it to be this way, I never wanted to be a vampire in high school, but that is the law ( well the law for the dead anyway). Any vampire under the age of 116 must attend the common human school. Me, I've got one year to go, one stressful, patronizing year. I demand rights! I don't want to spend another year with these idiotic teenagers. One bite here and there is all it would take, then I would be free. But no. I have to. Finally after one whole day of school, all I can think about, is getting to that church. With my velvet cloak in hand, I race to the ground with my crested broach to show who I am. My third lesson as an apprentice begins. No going back now. The lessons usually consist of the following: biting practice, escape situations and many other things. Unlike the rest of the pupils, in school and here, I pay attention, so that I am eligible to transform. If not, then I have no more opportunities left."
