ALTHEA
They never get vampyrs right,” Simon, my closest
friend, complains as he tosses popcorn into his
mouth, groaning when one catches on his new fangs
and sticks there like a hilarious Vlad the Impaler.
I turn away in jealousy, running my tongue along my teeth,
wishing I already had mine.
Soon, I remind myself.
“Yeah, but Wesley Snipes sure is hot,” I reply.
“That he is.” Simon sighs, and we cheers to that.
You see, vampyrs are born, but we do not become true
nightwalkers until the change. For sixteen years, we are
neither human nor vampyr. We are stronger and faster than
humans, but we have no fangs or thirst.
At sixteen, we either change or die.
Well, either way we die, but if we are strong enough, then
we come back as a full-fledged vampyr or, as we call
ourselves, sangui, which means blood in Latin. It’s not very
original, I know, but what can I say? Our race is a dramatic
bunch.
My sixteenth birthday is only two days away.
Two days until I either die or am reborn and plunged into
the night world, just like Simon.
They call us halfies until then, and we are not permitted to
attend gatherings held by full-fledged sangui. We do not see
that side of our society—well, he does now. He went to his
first one last night, and I can already see the changes wrought
by drinking blood.
He’s now almost six feet tall, where before he was a
measly five feet, and where he was once wiry, muscles are
now growing. His blond hair is darkening and growing,
becoming thicker and luscious, and his lips are plumped up.
Simon is becoming the perfect hunting machine, made to
seduce and kill.
If he didn’t like men, I’d jump him.
Foolish, I know, but I’d do anything for a taste of that life.
“Althea, you’ll be fine,” he murmurs, taking my hand like
he knows my thoughts. “Two days of unimaginably agony,
sure, but then life will be amazing, you’ll see, and we’ll spend
our nights hunting and partying with the others.”
“Until we turn eighteen, that is.” I huff, and he rolls his
eyes.
“You don’t want a mate?” It’s not the first time he’s asked,
and until now, I haven’t really explained why. Maybe it’s my
impending death, but I finally do.
“No, I do. It’s just … eighteen is so young to have to
choose who to spend the rest of your life with,” I mutter, not
telling him my deepest fear, which is that I might not make it
to eighteen, so why worry about who fate may or may not pair
me with?
“Hardly anyone finds their mate that early, sausage.”
Simon grins, making me groan. “Some go hundreds of years
and still never find their mate, so think of yourself as lucky if
you find them that soon.”
