The Life of a Teenage Vampire by Cody Brinkerhoff (best books to read for teens .txt) 📕

need to learn to fight as I have not caused any problems that required physical confrontation. One day Sarah came up to me and asked me how I was doing this was odd because she never asks that. At that point I looked at her puzzled and that’s when she held out her hand I asked her what she had and she opened her hand and in her palm was a small black rock with fiery red lines on it. She had told me it is called a blood stone and she threw it at me I think she was testing my reflexes because when I caught it she seemed strangely impressed. When I asked her what that was for she simply said , “the stone is to help you my mentor gave me this when I first joined this world it makes it so you do not need to feed as much.” I never let that little stone out of my sight as I still struggle with the hunger. Take it from me the hunger is hard to resist it is intoxicating the smell of blood it fills your senses and it just seems to completely take over. It’s like the best smell in the world when you are a vampire one drop can make you utterly lose control. Soon will be my first hunt and I have to go alone because we are not allowed to hunt together for some reason. A few days after I had received the stone DJ came up to me and told me to follow him he would not say why but I trusted him so I followed he led me into the forest just outside of town. I followed him for what seemed like hours until we came to a clearing. He nudged me to get down as there was something out there we both could smell it. I urged him that we need to get closer to know what we were dealing with when suddenly there was a rush of wind and we dropped to the ground as we did not know what just happened. When we regained our stature we slowly got up only to find something we both feared greatly. In the clearing was cave dweller a monstrous creature that was far from what it used to be. You see a cave dweller is a human that has been trapped and enslaved by a witch and they have been put through so much suffering that they change into a man eating creature that has no mercy and no sense of pain it will never stop coming until its dead. DJ and I looked at each other knowing running was not an option because if we ran this thing could harm anyone that it wanted to and there would be many casualties. It had spotted us and I looked at DJ he became angry and his entire being was changing his mouth became long and his teeth all grew sharp. His ears grew longer and his entire body enlarged and became very muscular. His shirt was torn to shreds from the transformation alone. His legs grew longer and stronger his shoes became tight and his toenails became black and ripped holes in his shoes. Those eyes of his became yellow and he towered over me. I was never trained to fight yet so I was unsure what to do. DJ charged at the beast he had leapt at it but the creature rolled under him and charged me. I had no idea what to do so I braced for impact the creature cut my arm with its claws and made my arm bleed very badly when I saw my own blood I felt a surge through my body and I almost lost control and blacked out but I fought that and it became easier. My vision blurred and the only thing I could see was the creature that had the audacity to injure me. I started running at it I had no idea how fast I was running until I had caught it and jumped on top of it pinning it to the ground it kept slashing and biting me trying to get free which must have angered me because I felt a rush of power and grabbed its arm and almost snapped it off when I slammed it into the earth so deep that I felt blood on my hands it bit me right in the side I yelled in pain as it was feeding on me. I became so angry that I must have blacked out because the next thing I knew I was standing over the mangled creature and my entire body was covered in blood. DJ woke up and staggered over to me I had no idea what happened to him I think he leapt right into a tree and knocked himself out. I needed to talk to Sarah about what just happened. I helped DJ get back to his house as he was very weak. The talk with Sarah would have to wait until another time time before I went to bed that night I wrote Dear Journal I saved someone’s life today.
Sunset of the Dweller

I had gone to see Sarah to inform her of the confrontation with the creature. She was surprised to see me because it was the first time I ever went to talk to her she has always come to me when she needed to talk. Sarah asked me, “Why have you come to see me this is unlike you Azazel.” I told her, “There has been a fight and something should not have been out.” She became worried that I had hurt someone I could see it in her eyes. I told her that DJ and I had come across a cave dweller during the day time and she looked at my arms and nearly fainted when she seen the scars. She insisted that I show her where the body was. So I took her to the clearing and when she seen the mangled body she turned to look at me and she hesitantly asked, “Did you do this or did DJ.” I said that it was me and DJ knocked himself out on a tree. She patted me on the back and told me that I fought well. This was the first time that my vampiric powers came out to their fullest. She poured gas on the body and set it on fire apparently that is the only way to completely destroy a cave dweller and she grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the body and led me home and told me she would come get me tomorrow. The next day she came to me with a strange man I have never seen before. He introduced himself as the informant. His job was to report any conflicts that occur with creatures. He led me to a strange house and unlocked the padlock on the gate. We went inside and he sat me down at a table and asked me to tell him exactly what happened. When I started the story of what happened he seemed impressed that a hæf vampire that was untrained could take on such a creature on his own without taking serious injuries. He slid a vial across the table to me and said it was a solution that would help my injuries heal faster. The solution tasted terrible and it smelled even worse. I drank the entire thing even though it was difficult. I watched my injuries and they began to grow very red and burn like hot oil and then they cooled down and they damn near disappeared entirely. Sarah led me home and told me to get some rest because it will help the scars heal as well and then she told me to take a rialú before I went to sleep. I took it and went inside and when I laid down I felt sleepy almost instantaneously.

The Awakening

I remember waking up in a dark cold room I do not know who I am the only thing I have other than the clothes on my back is this old tattered journal next to me and a pencil. The room smelled like mold and the floor was wet. I wonder if I’m near a lake it is weird I remember everything but my identity and how I got here. I believe this journal belongs to me I think I need to see the contents of it maybe it holds any clues to who I am. As I open the journal I hear something strange coming from the corner of the room. I closed the journal and went over there but found that the noise had stopped so still standing there I open the journal again and the noise was back. I was curious I closed it and again the noise stopped I began to realize that the noise was somehow connected to the journal. So when I opened the journal and when the noise started again I looked around for the source of it and I came across a small crevice in the wall. I reached into the crevice and pulled out a strange amulet.The amulet was a dark blue and had two stakes going through a heart one was vertical going down another horizontal going across. As I stood there holding it in my hand there was a loud rumbling sound and suddenly the ground began to shake as soon the floor began moving and revealed a staircase. I hesitantly went down the stairs as there was no other way out of the room. It kept getting darker and darker and they seemed to never end when suddenly there was a burst of light and I was standing outside. When I turned around there was nothing there I was standing in an open field. I was very confused as to what just happened when suddenly there was a soft whisper I decided to follow it so I put the amulet in my pocket and followed the sound as I followed it the whisper became louder and louder until I came across a young girl. She was very beautiful she did not look like she could be much younger than me. She had long brownish red hair. She was wearing it up in a ponytail and she had a white sweatshirt on and blue jeans. She
