They had taken everything from me. With faces like mine and yours but teeth like a snake, they came at sundown. There were screams but nothing could halt their blood lust.Blood was a must for their survival and I was next but fate had other plans for me. It was something much crueler than death. •~•"What are you writing there?" My brother nudged me with his elbow, stopping my pensive thoughts.I didn't answer him but looked ahead instead. We were parked in front of the university gates. The grey bricked castle, with cobblestones and long green lawns was a sight for architectural sore eyes. The country's blue and white flag was holstered at each high tower, flapping proudly in the harsh winds.The large silver gate with a raven on it was almost symbolic. Once inside I knew my life was going to change yet again, but I felt numb. Fear, shock, and maybe realization that this moment I had anticipated for months on end, was finally here, but I had nothi

Streaks of purple lightning lit up the dark and gloomy night sky as rain poured down relentlessly. There was not a star or moon in sight, just darkness above and thick fog below.I attempted my walk back to my dorm room. The flashes of lightning were my only guidance through the darkness. The day my family was slaughtered in cold blood was the day I met a peculiar woman who I had grown to love during my brief stay with her.Though she was as wicked as some of the creatures she killed in her lifetime, she believed she did the right thing by not trusting monsters and putting human lives above theirs.She saved me and my siblings from monsters. But her hatred for something that wasn't human had no bounds. I feared I'd become like her with the hatred I had for vampires.The thought was disconcerting and one I never shared with my family. I cast it to the deepest pits of my mind and the next ten years of

On Monday morning the school became the center of all focus in the small town as three students who were last seen attending the Valentine's party on Saturday night went missing.  I felt regret and disgust. I was angry at myself. I should have killed them. There was no time for morals when it came to monsters. I was being naive. We were all food at this point.  Levi's reaction to me after I asked him about Seth's death should have been enough for me to see that he and his family cared nothing for the students at the school.  We were all walking blood bags as far as they were concerned.  I couldn't live with myself anymore. Something in me was breaking every second they stayed breathing. I had thought about it the entire morning and I knew what needed to be done.  I was going to kill a Vampire, starting with Levi. I needed to separate them from each other —which was easier said than done— considering they were always to

It had started to rain heavily as we walked through the forest. Thick grey clouds covered the sky, making it appear to be evening though it was only noon.  "Could you walk any slower," Levi called back to me.  "Where are we even going?" There was an air of regret in my voice for trusting him. I couldn't explain why I was so stupid to follow him into the forest after he tried to kill me twice.  There was a little voice in my head screaming in the background that I tried to kill him as well but the truth remained the success of me killing him on my own was twenty percent and him killing me was a hundred.  I was less a threat to him than he was to me and Alex and I needed to have an advantage. It was the only way we were going to have peace of mind at this school. "I want to show you something. If you could be patient that is," he said in annoyance. The answer had been the same every time I asked. "How you murder me on

"Firstly, what's a wendigo?" Alex asked. We were sitting in the middle of Levi's dorm room with Hannah and Joshua as we explained to Alex the things we learned over the weekend.Levi closed his eyes tightly. "You're focusing on the wrong part of the story, Merlin."Alex shrugged, examining her plain cuticles. "Morbid curiosity and besides it would be better to know exactly what we going up against here."Levi sighed, shaking his head at her. "It looks like a zombie," he threw his hands up in frustration, "I can't really tell you which depths of Tartarus the creature crawled out from." "It sometimes has deer antlers," Hannah said in thought and looked at Joshua. "When Joshua and I were discarding the bodies of the ones you killed, we encountered four more of the creatures. We killed them at first glance." "The ones you killed, looked human," Joshua stood and crossed the room, "and might I even say zombified. Could it be possible it's two
