Ignorance

Dedicated to: Clara Griffin. She was there for me when I was stuck, when I was down, and knows how to make me laugh, without even trying. She is awesome and deserves to be noticed. She was a friend that no body else could or can be: She was there for me.
Thank you Clara.


Prologue
Invention of Living Death

Running. Panting. That’s what she was doing. Scampering from the deranged man. She was sprinting fast; her breath was labored and now soar to exhale or inhale. She had long-gone kicked off her shoes, letting her tiny feet slap against the marble floors of the large, seemingly-endless house.
She heard his demented laughter echoing behind her, causing her panic to increase.
Finally! She had reached the enormous doors. Grasping them, she yanked hard awaiting to be freed. But terror engulfed her. She was locked in! Horrified, she heard him enter the room over her panting breath.
Suddenly, nausea clouded her, and she dropped to the ground, making her dress poof about her. She clutched her neck where his lips had touched her, for it suddenly pained her. She gasped aloud, both at the pain and at him. He was sitting right next to her, smiling evilly, or more correct, psychotically.
The pain started traveling throughout her, at the exact moment the handsome, sick man said, “The venom is spreading now, is it not?” and he laughed.
Before she could scream her disgust, she suddenly smelt something intoxicating, but it made her grasp her stomach and begin heaving violently.
“Ah, you smell it now, don’t you? Isn’t it,” He inhaled deeply, “mouthwatering?”
She wanted nothing more than to smack this man she once loved and simply have this pain over with. But the abrupt agony in her eyes made her scream. What had he done to her? She fell on her side and began in hysterics, sobbing uncontrollably, the pain too much.
“My darling,” The man cooed, “Please don’t cry, for the pain will soon be over with, please. Don’t cry.”
A moment before she lost consciousness, she asked or pled, “Why? Wh-what have you done to me? I loved you!”
He simply smiled, “Darling, I have found a way for us to be together for eternity,” He whispered, ‘We are… Vampires.”
And with that, she blacked out.
