My vampire life by Hannah Lyles (microsoft ebook reader TXT) 📕

It was dark but lights kept flashing. I had to keep running. It was chasing me. It hurt me already but it wanted more, so I have to keep running. A horn honked, making me stumble. It reached out for me but I kept out of its reach. I ran, lights blinded me and I fell. It caught me. I got half a scream out and then nothing but black.

        Sunlight poured through the window. It was blinding. My heads throbbing. The alarms blaring. I slam down my hand on the sleep button with a thud and hear a loud crack! I feel a sharp pain in my palm. I got out of bed. Went into the hall. Lacey our golden retriever growled as I passed which was a first ever. But I ignored it and went into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and screamed.

“Ally, Ally what’s wrong?” My father yelled.

He came to a short stop in doorway along with my mom and sister a few moments behind.

“Who are you?” he demanded

“It’s me daddy Ally” I replied tears rolling down my cheek.

Cold looks were given to me.

“You look nothing like Ally! Stop lying and tell us who you are!!!” My mother screamed.

“I am Ally” I replied sobbing.

“Prove it.” Mia said

I had never heard such a harsh tone from her before.

“Fine.” I said tired of this “Last Saturday when mom went to her book club dad went and played poker at the Johnston’s when he said he would never do it again.”

“Daren!” my mother scolded astonished. My father looked surprised.

“Last Wednesday mom bought a three hundred dollar pair of shoes.” I stated.

My father and sister looked at my mother shocked. My mother looked down in shame.

“On prom night Mia lost her…” I paused staring directly into her eyes her face was full of fear. “Her purse.” I finished.

“It really is her.” Mia said. Probably still doubting.

My mother came over and hugged me.

“I’m so sorry sweetie. What happened?” My mother asked me concerned.

“I..I..I don’t know.” I said mumbling starting to feel numb.

“Honey it’s going to be ok.” My father said with a distant look in his eyes.

“Ally your hand.” Mia exclaimed.

I then remembered the reason I came into the bathroom to begin with. I looked down at my hand and there was a steady flow of blood coming out of a large wound on my palm. My dad was in motion he grabbed paper towels and started cleaning up the blood and my hand. He washed out my wound and wrapped it up.

“We have to get you to the doctor.” My dad started pulling me off the ground.

“No I don’t think I should.” I replied knowing that it was a bad idea whatever was wrong with me I don’t think a doctor could fix.

“Even if we don’t have your strange new appearance checked out we should get that cut looked at.” He kept pushing.

“Please dad I’m tired can I just rest and we can go to the doctor’s later please?” I begged my eyes pleading.

He sighed “Alright I’ll make an appointment for tomorrow since you have your first day of school in three days. Go get some rest.” He told me.

Taking my mom out of the room to discuss and try to figure out what was wrong with me. I walked into my room closed the door and stood in front of my floor length mirror. My looks had changed extremely. My dark reddish-blond hair had turned into an icy blond, and instead of it being shoulder length it came down to my knees.

I had lost a lot of weight I’d say about fifty pounds or more. I wanted to know exactly so I went back into the bathroom and got on the scale. The last time I weighed myself I was a little over two hundred. Now I was one hundred and twenty. I let out a small gasp. I went back to my room.

I sat in front of the mirror. My greenish-gray eyes had now turned into an icy blue color with a small ring of red surrounding my irises.

I had grown taller and my face had more of an aristocrat look with now high cheek bones. My skin was visually paler. My lips were as rosy color. My eyelashes were darker and my eyes popped out. I was beautiful for the first time in my life. My skin was clear and all my freckles were gone. There was no hair anywhere except for my eyebrows, hair, and eyelashes.

A soft knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. Mia peeked her head through the crack .

“Ally can I come in.” She asked.

“Of course” I replied smiling and laughing softly.

She came in but she stayed by the door. She looked around nervously not focusing on anything. She looked at everything but me.

“Mia. What’s wrong?” I asked softly.

“I’m scared.” She said in a flat tone.

“What for? I’m the one with a changed body.” I said with an eyebrow raised.

“Yes, but you’re not you. You look so different and it’s all so messed up. I’m scared because something’s going to happen to you but I don’t know what. I’m so scared.” She told me at the end she was balling.

I came over to her and wrapped my arms around her. I guided her over to my bed. She clung to me and cried. I held her. We laid down still with my arms around her and her still crying. She fell asleep in my arms and I followed soon after.

I woke up about midnight. Mia was still in my arms. I moved her out of them carefully not to wake her. I went to the double glass doors opened them and walked out onto the balcony. It was a clear night and the moon was full. I could see farther and clearer than I ever could it was amazing. I could see so many more stars. It was as if the billions of stars had tripled. It was a breathtaking sight.

I heard a small gasp from behind me. I turned and saw Mia standing there mouth agar.

“Mia what’s wrong?” I asked

“Ally your glowing.” She stated as white as a ghost.

“What???” I said to no one in particular. I looked down at my skin and it looked like my skin was reflecting the moon giving off a glowing appearance.

“Are you scared of me?” I ask my sister because she looked like she could faint at any moment.

“I’m not scared of you. I’m scared for you” She replied replacing her look of fear with one of determination. She came over to me and wrapped her arms around me.

“Don’t cry” She whispered. I realized I was crying with relief. I was so scared she would hate me. I was so relieved I was crying. I wrapped my arms around her and started laughing.

“I think we should go inside it is late” Mia told me after a while. We go to my bed and I lay down she stayed sitting up. She stood up getting up to leave.

“Don’t go.” I told her. Grabbing her shirt.

She sighed “Alright” She said. Then laying down. I intertwined our hands. Soon she fell asleep. I followed after what seemed to last forever.

“Wake up Ally” someone said gently pushing me

“Five more minutes” I mumbled.

“No get up now.” My mother told me. Nudging me once again.

“Fine” I replied rolling over.

“Ally” She said in a warning tone. I sat up and looked at her grumpily.

“Don’t look at me like that your sister was up hours ago. In fact she made breakfast and it’s getting cold. And you have a doctor’s appointment in an hour” she finished leaving the room.

I got out of bed and looked in the mirror, my eye’s flashed a crimson red. I blinked and it was gone.

‘Ok weird’ I thought to myself I shook my head and went to my closet. I grabbed the smallest pair of jeans I had and they were still too big. I then grabbed a belt and pulled it as tight as I could get. I took my favorite tee-shirt out of the closet. I looked in the mirror again. My clothes were way to baggy.

I brushed my teeth and my hair, and went down stairs. Mia sat at the table across from a plate of food which I guessed was mine. I sat down and ate the eggs and bacon along with some grapes and a banana. As I finished up my orange juice and put my dishes in the sink. Mia came up behind me.

“ Want me to braid your hair?” She asked gathering my hair in her hands.

“Sure” I replied I went and sat in my chair while she went and got the hairbrush and hair ties. My mother walked into the room but stopped in the doorway. She looked long and hard at me. With a frown on her face.

“Were gonna have to buy you new clothes huh?” She asked walking over to me

“Yep” I told her “At least we haven’t bought the back to school clothes” I continued.

“I guess” she replied. Mia walked into the room. Stood behind me and braided my hair. We chatted and giggled mom joined in and soon my dad walked in.

“You ready we gotta get going.” He said to us.

“Yes I’m ready.” I announced. We headed out to the car and got to the doctor’s office.

My dad checked me in and we sat and waited. My sister played on her phone my dad and mom talked and I read the book ‘Storyteller’. A nurse came through the door.

“Ally Wood?” She called we all got up curious and anxious to find out what’s wrong with me. The nurse gave us a questioning look but didn’t say anything. She lead us to a room and asked a few questions which of course I left to my parents. She told us the doctor would be in here in a few minutes and left.

A tall brunette came in and set a folder on the counter. She stood and stared at me. Looking over me she smiled which made her even prettier.

“Hello I’m Dr. Lancer” She stated. “And you must be Ally” She finished once again smiling. I nodded.

“Umm… Dr. Lancer?” my mother said.

“Yes Mrs. Wood” She said turning to address my mother.

“Our doctor is Dr. Hale where is he?” My mother told her.

“He has too many patients lined up for today and I offered to help him. So I got your daughter and a few others.” She smiled. My mother was silent. Dr. Lancer turned to me “Can I take a look at your hand?” She asked. I nodded and unwrapped my hand. The doctor moved and blocked my family’s view. I looked down at my hand. The large gap had drastically shrunken. I let out a small gasp. The doctor gave me a small smile.

“Ally what’s wrong?” My mother asked. I looked up at the doctor. Something in her eyes told me not to tell my mother. I turned to my mother and smiled.

“Nothing mom.” I told her. She looked at me and nodded. Dr. Lancer looked over my cut and turned to my parents.

“This cut will heal up quickly in a couple days we’ll just have to keep it wrapped up ok?” She told them.

“Are you sure?” My father asked her “It was pretty deep cut yesterday.” He finished. She nodded.

“It’ll heal quickly. I guarantee it.” She told them. “Now I understand there has been some major weight loss and change in appearance.” She concluded.

“How’d you know that?” I asked. Knowing that not one of my family members had said anything about it. I was suddenly wary of this person.

“Your file describes you heavier. Also in your picture your hair is darker and you have different colored eyes.” She told me giving me a
