Animal I have become, me [good inspirational books TXT] 📗

against the current, doing my best to get to the shore fast.
After a minute of swimming, I finally made it to shore. I laid her down gently on the sand.
I felt for a heart beat, but theere was nothing. I contemplated on what to do. If she died, then I would be killed. If I turned her into a vampire, than there was the possibly a chance I wouldn't be killed.
Either way she couldn't die. People were counting on me. She was counting on me.
I cut my wrist. Putting it to her mouth, letting it stay there for a few moments. Letting my blood flow through out her body.
For several heart pounding minutes nothing happened. No heart beat, no breathing. Only death.
I gave up. My mission was done and over. "I'm sorry Tess." I kissed her lips softly. I lifted her into my arms. Just then I heard a faint beating. Something small, but it was there. There was going to be some help after all. "I'll take care of you Tess. I won't let anything hurt you again." I ran off into the woods.

I was having this really weird dream. In it I was a vampire. I had a pile of dead bodies layed off in front of me.. On bottom people I didn't know. On top my were my parents. The sight of this didn't send me screaming. Instead I wanted more.
I turned around aand saw Ashstanding there. He smiled at me, fangs glinting in the light. He came forward, and kissed me hungrily. I kissed him back with just as much feirceness.
At that point I was on fire. My screaming echoing through the hall. Ash was saying things in a forgein language. "Usted estara bien." Or "No puedes morir. Te necesito." At this point I didn't know if I was dreaming. Parts of it seemed so real.
Suddenly I woke up. I tried sitting up, but I was strapped down to something. On either side of me was blood baggies connected to IV's, running into my arms.
I swung my body around, trying to get free. The table flipped down onto the floor. One of the IV stands broke, I grabbed it and cut one arm free. Then the other, finally the rest of my body.
I kicked the door down, then took off running. I found a tall wooden door. I tried kicking it, ramming it, anything else I could think of. But nothing would work.
I found a chair, I picked it up and tossed it at a window. It shattered into a million peices. I jumped out of it and took off running.
I ran a few miles before stopping.
There was a man on the side of the road changing his tire. Suddenly he swore loudly. Dropping his tool on the ground. I could smell the blood before I saw it. I walked next to him. "Sir, do you need some help?"
Thw man smiled kindly at me. "No thanks sweet thang. Injust cut my finger here, the bleeding should stop in a minute."
"Trust me. I can fix it, you won't feel a thing." I knelt down and took his finger in my mouth. I sucked down the blood. Enjoying the warm sweet flavor.
After a minute I stopped. I looked down at the man. He was dead. I stood there horrified I was that terrible creature from my dream.
I ran down the road, the surrounding world ablur to me. People didn't see me. Twice I almost ran into somebody.
As I ran across a street, I got hit by a car. I went flying through the air. I landed on the ground with a hard 'thud'.
People were screaming to call the police. The person who knelt down on the ground. "I'm sorry miss. I didn't know you were there." The lady had tears running down her faces.
I didn't feel any broken bones, so I sat up. The woman screamed at my movements. "Yeah. RUN. GO. NOW." I screamed at the lady and who ever else was close by.
I got up and ran to the nearest alley way. I hid behind some old crates. And finally let myself cry.

I was out rying to find the vampire from my past. The one that had attacked Tess. But I couldn't, he was long gone.
So I left Tess at my house by herself. She wouldn't be waking up anytime soon, so I was alright.
When I found one of the windows smashed open. I knew something was wrong.
Immediately I ran to her room. The door had been kicked out from the inside. The bed was flipped over. Her bonds had been caught.
She had escaped, woken up ahead of scheduel.
I followed her scent down the road. It stopped by a truck. I didn't bother to stop because I already knew what was there.
When I arrived in town, everything was up in a frenzy. Some girl had gotten hit by a car and had gotten up and walked away like everything was ok.
I walked into the nearest alleyway, careful not to draw attention to myself.
The smell of rotten garbage was overwhelming to my senses.
I found Tess behind some crates. She was crying and shaking really bad. Oblivious to me. I touched her shoulder.
She fell backwards. "Stay away from me."
I tried picking her up. But she clawed at my face. Then took off running.
She was fast. But I was faster. I grabbed her by the shoulder and spun her to face me. "You need to calm down. I'm not going to hurt you." I used my commanding tone.
She stopped crying, but continued to shake. "Ash?" She said to me through teary eyes.
"Yes its me."
She punched me extrenely hard in the jaw. I was pretty sure she fracturedd it. "Yoou did this to me. You turned me into a monster."
"I'll take you back to my house and explain everything to you."
"No." She said calmly. "You've ruined my already crappy life. I have nobody left. Now I can't even die normally." She whispered the last part.
"That's not true. There are people out there who care for you. I'll tell you who, just come with me."
"Tell me something first, are you like me?"
"Not completly."
*****************************************************************
My mind waas all fuzzy. The world was spinning. I had collapsed into Ash's arms.
When I came back to the world, I was lying on a couch. Another IV running down my arm. I reached to take out the needle, but a cool hand stopped mine. "Leave it."
Ash was sitting in a chair next to me. "Where am I?"
"My house."
I sighed. "How long have I been out?"
"Three days the first time. After you got hit by that car, another four."
I just nodded my head. I remembered what he said earlier this week. "I sked if you were like me, and you said not completly. What did you mean by that?"
"I was born in 1657. I met a man named Eugene. He said I could live forever, as long as I served him. I was foolish enough to accept. He turned me into a vampire that very night. For a hundred years I served him faithfully. After my time was up with him, he let me go. I wondered around for a while. Roaming the country. Discovering new places. Then I came across a couple named Ivan and Rosa Cantu. They offered me me immunity for my past sins I helped them." He stopped for a moment and pulled out his wallet. "For about nine months I had no contact from them. Then one day they called me. They told me to watch and protect a girl named Tess. She was supposed to be just like any other assignment. But you were difficult. I had to track you down. The family that was taking care of you had died. I barely got there in time." He handed me the wallet. I saw a picture of me lying down inthe grass a fe weeks aftter the accident. "Then I lost you again. Then six months ago I found you. I enrolled in our school. And I got to know you." I raised an eyebrow. "Not very well obviously. A week ago you were attacked. I was forced between choosing you or your attacker. I chose to save you. You were dead for several minutes. After your heart started again, I knew everything was going to be alright."
"So you turned me into a vampire?"
"Yes."
I shivered. He put a blanket over me. "For some reason I'm not surprised. But who are Rosa and Ivan Cantu?"
"Your biological parents."
"No. They died after I was born."
"Trust me. They're very much alive."

All things considered, she had taken things pretty well. She didn't spek for several minutes though. "Since you turned me into a vampire, am I still a witch?"
"Yes. You're a full vampire. But also a full witch. You're more powerful than any other creature in the supernatural world."
She just nodded her head. Closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep. She said one last thingbefore falling asleep. "Too much power can destroy a person."
For the threehundred and fifty-fiveyears I've been on this earth, I gave not ever met a person who didn't want more power. What she said had hit me to the core. Made me think of the choices of my past.
I pulled out my phone and pressed one. They answered on the first ring. "I got the girl here with me. There's been a slight complication, but it's been resolved now."-"Yes. I'll bring her to you. Just give me a month to prepare."-"Yes. I'll bring her on the twenty-third."-"See you soon."
I turned my phone off and set it on the bedside table. "I'll be back soon." I kissed her lips softly. "Don't go anywhere."

I came around fully this time. I didn't freak out. I was calm and collected.
I stood up. My legs were kind of shaky. ButI still stood.
I was in the same room as before. The door had been replaced. I smiled gladly at the thought.
I grabbed the IV stand and walked to the door. I jiggled the handle slightly and opened.
I looked out and saw a dark hallway. The lights were all off, but I could see everything perfectly.
I heard music playing somewhere down the hall. I followed it down to a set of swinging doors. The music was louder and more pronounced.
It was the end of 'Bring me to life', by Everescence. It really fit the situation I was in. I kept coming back to life. "I've cheated death to many times. Their not going to let me go again."
Just then Ash walked into the kitchen. "Oh. Nice to see you up. wasn't expecting you for a few hours."
"I can always leave."
"No, no. I didn't mean it like that. I was going to fix you something to eat."
I wrinkled my nose. "I'm not hungry."
"You need to eat. You haven't eaten regular food in a week."
"You can't make me eat." I saidcrossing my arms.
"Fine. let me put it this way. If you don't eat willingly, I'll blend it up and make you eat it."
I laughed. "When I was fourteen I broke my jaw. I had to eat like that for two months. Try something else."
He thought for a moment. "Ok. I'll put it this way. If you don't keep your diet balanced, you'll go into withdraw."
I squinted at him. "Fine." I picked up an apple and bit into it. "I was trying to be a smart ass."
"Something other than fruit." He pushed forward a plate of eggs, bacon,
