All my 300 years on earth, I have always wondered what it will be like to finally find her. My other half,be complete,to be made whole.For the past century,I have been looking for her.But I haven't found her,or perhaps she isn't born yet?My thoughts circulate.

Three hundred years on earth,I have seen other vampires finding their mate,shortly after they turn a hundred years.I am aging,and I am aging alone.People say the only thing we vampires have is time.It is true.But I still wish I can find her now.

They say when you find your other half,you become complete,you become whole.You feel perfect.

How long will I have to wait?!

A hundered years on earth without my mate is pure torture!Its agony,and I don't know if I can survive for long.My entire body longs for him.To be finally whole.

Its been centuries,and I still haven't found her.I have searched far and wide.Been to every country,but I can't find her.Is she dead? No! I refuse to believe that.I will find her,even if it means searching,till the end of time.

I feel paralyzed.My entire body aches for his touch,for his bite on my neck.For his kisses,the way they would feel on my skin.All am feeling now,is emotional pain. I had always knew that vampires feel no pain.But then again,what is this am feeling?The continuous ache on my chest,doesn't mean good.I feel my heart,breaking everyday,like its been torn apart,literally.

Humans have this belief, that vampires are cold-blooded killers,and that we deserve no happiness.The vampire-hunters are the worst.I wish the rumors were true,I wish I was cold-blooded,then I wouldn't have to feel this constant loneliness. I wish I knew exactly where he was.Too bad,wishes don't come true.How long can I endure this?

Today,I have decided to settle down,and live life alone.I have lost all hope.There is no finding her.Perhaps the 'Fates' didn't create my mate.They decided to send me alone to this cruel world.

The suburbs of Ohio,is peaceful.But it doesn't calm my soul.The 'Fates' did this,they have decided,that I get to live alone for all eternity.

Its been 17 years,since I've been in this peaceful environment.But it seems that the peace is playing mind games on me.I can't function well.I need her.But since I can't seem to find her,I have decided to do the only thing left:To Die!

September 18 2016

Ava

No!Please no!If I had known that,they were vampire hunters lurking around Ohio,I wouldn't have come.I had thought this place would be safe for me.Clearly,I was wrong.

Whoosh!

The arrow flew right past my cheek,landing on the tree at my front.Using my full vampire speed,I run past the tall trees,trying to lose the three vampire-hunters,that are trying to kill me.

Once outside the forest,I see a cottage,with smoke coming out of the chimney.

Finally,shelter.

This is it!At last,I get to die.I know I won't be dead forever.A stake in my heart,is enough to make me inmobile for a long time.A silver knife will do the job fully,but I can't seem to find any.I can only hope no one decides to wake me up,from my lonely slumber.

I hold the stake,with both my hands,ready to seal this deal.I don't know why I had never thought of this.Maybe it was because I was still having flickers of hope,that I might still find her,but now I've lost hope.

I move the stake very close to my heart swiftly,when I heard a banging sound.

Thump!Thump!

"Please,open the door."The voice pleads.

Just when I am about to die,someone decides to disturb me.Why can't the 'Fates' let me go from this dreadful life?

I proceed to end my miserable life,then I hear it again,this time,more fervent.

Thump!Thump!Thump!Thump!

"Please,let me in."The voice pleads again.

I groan loudly.I walk towards the door,my boots making creaking sounds,echoing around the little cottage,I had grown accustomed to for these past few years.

I open the door,to see a pair of green sparkling eyes,moving frantically.

Her scent overwhelmed me.Her eyes were so perfect.They shined so bright.Our eyes stayed fixated on each other.The way her hair scattered all over her face,made her more perfect.

Then I felt it.The completeness,they spoke about.The perfection in her eyes.The way the wind blew her hair.Her pink lips looked so smooth.I can almost feel myself, caressing it.She looks so beautiful.

"Mate!"We voiced out at the same time.I guess,she felt it too.

I can't believe it,the day I finally decide to die,that is when I find her.No,she found me.

Her face lifts,as she smiles.Her smile was just so beautiful.I return back her smile,nothing seemed to be able to break us,from this perfect moment.

Just then,her smile drops,it turns to uncertainty,her face becomes pale.Her bright green eyes,becomes dull.I eye her frantically,trying to see what's wrong.Then I see it,an arrow,shoot right through her heart.I see it,and its silver.

She drops to the ground,with her loud thump,I go down with her,and she falls so perfectly into my arms.

"No,no,no,no,no,no,no."I mumble incoherently."I just met you,Please no."A tear drops from my eyes,and my mate,reaches her hands up,and cups my cheeks,cleaning the tear with her thumb.Blood were coming out through her nose,her ears,and lips,and her perfect eyes.

She smiles,this time it didn't feel lively as before.It felt as if it was her goodbye.Then,her hand drops to the floor,hitting it,making a loud sound.

She's dead!My mate that I had been looking for.She had only just found me,and now She's gone.I never even knew her name.What she likes doing.How she grew up.How she likes her blood.Nothing at all.And it hurts,more than silver being pierced through the heart.

With my mate,still in my arms,I look up to see the bastards who did this.They are still here.Since they killed my mate,they should just kill me too.

I know I am supposed to fight for her,avenge her.But it doesn't matter.There is no need to live without her.

"I am a vampire too.Kill me."I scream at them.

The trio look at me,as if am crazy,they probably think I have a death wish.And I do.To show them,that am serious,I scream.My fangs came out,my eyes bloody.

"Killlll Meeee!"I yell,this time more loudly,and demanding.

Then I felt it,directly in my stomach.Then another,my shoulder,both shoulders.Then through my heart.The arrows piercing me.I splutter out blood from my mouth.

Blood were flowing out of my openings on my face,the effect of the silver.I fall to the ground,right beside my mate.I try so much to reach her.Our fingers just touched.Our faces facing each other.

In that moment,I realize that life doesn't always have happy endings.I can only hope to be with her in the afterlife.I would have waited for centuries,if it would have meant that she wouldn't die,the first day I saw her.I never got to rub her toes,kiss her goodnight.Tell her,how beautiful she was everyday.I guess we'll never know what the 'Fates' have in store for us.

My eyelids shut on thier own accord,and I feel myself slipping into the darkness.
