I have been in my room for only half an hour and I am already dying of boredom. Who knew locking yourself away could be boring. Well I guess it's not meant to be fun because you are hiding from the world. The cruel world that judge people for what they are. Not who they are.

Most people would think that being a vampire would be amazing. I'm telling you now it is fun but there  must always be rain for a rainbow.

Being a vampire means you're different. You act differently. You live differently. You also eat differently. Humans eat fruit, veg and meat. While us vampires live off blood of animals but mostly humans. Thinking about it makes me th-

No. I can't. I just can't. I live in a world full of humans. A world full of humans and blood. I live in a cruel world where people seperate living and non living people. Not for who they are but for what they are. Monsters.

As I was deep in thought I didn't realise vamp walk in. He could read my every thought about this cruel world we all live in. He slowly placed a hand on my shoulder which made me jump.

"Don't worry buddy. I understand. All you need to do is stay strong and keep your head held high."
"Vamp did you ever feel like this? Did you ever feel judged in the cruel world?" I asked him. If vampires could cry I would but we don't.

He slowly sat down next to me. Then moved my head so I was looking in his eyes.
"Listen Dusty. Don't let the world judge you for what you are. Even if we are-"
"Monsters." I finished for vamp.

"You are not a monsters. Anyone can choose to be a monster if they want to. You're not. You have chosen to live a life monster free."
After vamp said that I started to wonder whether he was a monster.

"Yes I was. 300 years ago when I was 16 my dream was to be part of the Shanti. Shanti is like a vampire army. They rejected me. They said I was not made to fight I was made to love. Being the 16 year old I was I wanted to prove I could fight. The only way I could do this was to become a monster. That was the only chance the cruel world gave me and I took it.

I killed many people. Young and old. Then one day I found a Forrest outside a house. Your house. I made my own house there and killed anyone who entered. The one person I couldn't get was your dad. He was strong and brave.

Then one night I saw you. I saw your beautiful blonde hair. Then I saw your parents. Being who I was I killed them. Soon realising what I did I took you with me. I wanted to save you. There was something about you that made you special. Now you're stuck with me." Finished vamp.

I stared at him in disbelief. I couldn't imagine vamp being a monster. He is such a loving man. He would never hurt anyone.

I tried to look at his emotions but he blocked me off. I kept trying but he was stronger. I soon realised he wasn't stronger. I was weaker. I needed to hunt. Hunt animals because this cruel world has made me what I have become. A bloodsucking monster. I guess Daniel was right. I am a leech.

"Don't tell yourself that buddy. Also who's this Daniel guy. Wait was that who you went to meet?" Asked vamp. I could now read his emotions. He was angry but he felt protective over me.

"No. Well not really."
"What do you mean?"
"I was meant to meet his twin sister alone but he came along. He came to tell me about his mother and her dad."
"What do you mean Dusty." Asked vamp.

I told him about Niamh and Daniel.
"Listen Dusty. I won't  want them getting you into trouble so I would like you to stay away."
"No da- I mean vamp. Niamh is fine. She's nice." Vamp smiled when I said that. I think it was because I almost called him dad.

"Dusty you do know I've noticed your eye. What happened there?"
"Well. When I first saw Niamh she got a bit scared and slapped me across the face." Vamp just laughed.
"What?!" I asked getting frustrated.
"Well it's kinda like my first encounter. She punched me in the face and I broke my nose and eye socket." I couldn't help but laugh at that.

"Well what do you know." Vamp started." In a cruel world you find cruel people."
"Not everyone is cruel. Our gang are not cruel." I said.
"Oh? We're a gang now?" Asked vamp smiling.

He got up and placed a hand on my shoulder again.
"Well son how about you get ready then 'the gang' can go hunting."
"Sure." I said as vamp left.

I decided to take a hot shower then get changed into some clean clothes. I felt like wearing a jumper. Even though I can't feel the cold. It's just in case we come across any humans. Apparently they all find it cold today.

When I was finally ready I went down stairs to find the rest of our gang here. Hyde was in her normal form.
"Am I part of your gang?" She asked.
"Yes Hyde. Also it's not my gang. It our gang." I said as we all walked out to the Forrest.

The next thing I knew I was out running in the wild. The cruel wild. I loved this though. I loved the feeling of air blowing in my face as I ran. It made me feel chilled out.

We stopped when we found a family of deer. There were three of them. It reminded of me of us. There was a mother, father and child. We all lunged at them. I got the child.

We drained them. We drained them like hungry vampires. Like leeches. This was what I thought. I couldn't take this anymore. The words vamp said played in my mind.

In a cruel world you find cruel people.
I thought for a bit forgetting vamp could here everything.

"Hey what's up with Dust-Dude?" I heard Hyde ask vamp. This made me smile. I loved Hyde's creativeness.
"I don't know?" He lied.
"No vamp. She can know. What I wish Hyde is if I'm not who I am in this cruel world."
