    Introduction

    You just never know what life is going to bring ya. Take me for example; I am a typical 17 almost 18 year old girl. I have two very loving and yet over protective parents, and even have a standard poodle named Liza. See, I am a typical girl of my age right…. I so wish! Yes all the stuff I just stated is true, and yes that does sound rather normal, right…well I did leave out a few things.

    I live in Northern Colorado, My house sits tucked into the Rocky Mountains and is quite lovely to look at. It has 15 bedrooms not counting staff rooms, 20 bathrooms, a grand ball room, and a 12 mile long driveway. It is a 250 year old castle built by a mining VP to look like an old English castle, or so I am told. Even though I think my home is way over the top, I have to admit it is beautiful. The gray stone aged to a fine dark green in spots gives it character and the high towers at the 4 corners area amazing. It sits on 425 acres of deep forest and sweeping lawns with 5 two story guard houses that can hold up to 100 guards and oh ya both an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. I know what you’re thinking, ya I am privileged but it’s not like it’s abnormal in the USA for people to live like that right.

    I guess I should tell you we live in the middle of nowhere in this fortress of a home because my mother and father are the leaders of the most powerful vampire clan in North America and maybe the world. Not so normal now is it. My name is Angel Dark Horse and this is the story of my life as I come of age and become a part of the Vampire world.

    Chapter 1

    I knew something was going on the second I walked in the door and could see both my parents waiting for me in the entrance hall. I was having such a good day to, I spent most of the morning on my favorite mare Hilda riding the property lines enjoying the cool fall morning. The second my father sees me he says, young lady we need to have a family meeting. Go clean yourself up and meet me and your mother in the Den. That’s it and they both turned and walked away from me. That more than anything else let me know something was going on and that I had better move my ass.

    I ran up the stair way to the third floor where my suite was. I love my bedroom, it’s larger than most apartments I have been into and has its own master bath. I have been known to spend hours looking out my large picture windows at the animals that call my family land home. My room is decorated in what I like to call Goth sheik. My 4 post bed has strands of black and purple braided silk wrapped around them. My bed side tables are large dragons holding glass tops, and above them recessed into the walls are electric torches. The furniture is all black suede with purple and red throw pillows that match my black walls with bright colored dragons and fairies flying around a medieval forest, yes I loved my bedroom. Too bad I was not going to get to enjoy it today. I rushed into my bathroom and washed my face and hands changed into my dinner clothes and headed down to face whatever had my parents looking as if someone had died.

    Entering the den I could see both my parents sitting side by side on my dad’s favorite love seat by the fire place. Sitting there anyone could see them and tell they still loved each other very much. My aunt told me stories about how when my folks stated to date none of the clans figured it would end up going anywhere. My father being the leader of the Dark Horse clan and mother a member of a nomadic South American tribe it did not seem like a likely match. A person could look at them and see they come from different worlds, my father a very light skinned, blond hair blued eyed German, and my mother with her black hair, brown eyes, and very tan skin. My mother’s parents are some of the last surviving Mayans left in the world so they all look like; well think Native American and you would be close. Dad stand at 6’4 and is built like a warrior should be, broad shoulders a narrow waist and arms covered in enough muscle to make anyone think twice about starting anything with him. Mom is only 5’8 and very slight of build, in an evening gown most people would call here delicate or petite but all you have to do is look at her arms and her legs to know she is still a force to be reckoned with. I remember when I was young asking my dad if there was anyone in the world who he would be scared of, he looked at me and said only your mother if she is good and pissed, laughed and walked away. I know my mother has it in her but I have never seen anything but love and care from her or my father, but I have always believed there was a lot in their life’s I was not a part of or been allowed to see.

    The other concerns both my fathers and mother’s people had was their age difference. Dad was 600 years old when he met mom, and mom was only 240. In the vampire world mates usually had less than 100 years difference in their ages and more often than not met with in their first 150 years of life. So two vampires of such ages not having mates, most thought neither of them would ever be coupled but the second they met they both knew they were met for each other, and 200 years and a daughter later they are still very much in love.

    Walking up to them I could see the concern in their faces so I rushed to where they were sitting, lowered myself to the ground taking both their hands and asked them what’s wrong, why do you both look so sad. Father looked into my eyes and said, My beautiful daughter, you will be turning 18 in two days and your mother and I are concerned about what the change will bring about in you. We have been trying to prepare you for this since you became a teenager, but one is never truly ready for what becoming a full vampire will do to them. You have no mate, and with your parents being as powerful as we are the changes will be very unpredictable in you.

    Father…mother, you have raised me to be a strong and capable young woman, and I know that between the three of us we can handle whatever will happen.

    But dearest handling the change is not what we are scared of, it is how the rest of the vampire community will regard an unmated female with the power you may have that concerns us my mother stated.

    We agreed when I was 15 years old that you would not subject me to an arranged marriage, that I would be given the chance to find a mate and fall in love on my own.

    We did my father said, and we are not changing our minds it’s just that the other clans will think we are holding out on them, that either there is something wrong with you or that you are so powerful we do not want the other clans to know of it.

    Mother looked at me with such emotion in her eyes and said, Angel we love you more than anything in this world, and we just want you to be prepared for what it will be like after the change and how the unmated males will be towards you. You are the only daughter of the leaders of the most powerful clan there is and to have you as a mate would be a great boon for any young vampire. Daughter you will have to be strong and wise in the years to come, in time you will want a mate and you deserve a man who wants you for your heart not for the position you were born into.

    I will be careful mom, you know I am never easy on a guy and let’s just hope that after the change some of my powers will help me select a proper mate. I will also have my two wonderful parents to help me out, and between the three of us I know everything will turn out just fine. That comment seamed to lessen some of the strain lining their faces and lighten the mood a lot.

    Mom and dad went over the arrangements they have been making for my change. The secure room in the lower basement we will be using, the guards that will be at my room for the 5 days it takes for the change to take place, and most important the feeding schedule I will be on till I have control of my thirst. I have been hearing about the change for years now. I was so excited when I was younger, so ready to be like my mom and dad, ready to be like all the mysterious and beautiful adults I have been seeing in our home my whole life. I wanted to fit in with them and have these amazing powers they all have. Now that I am almost an adult I don’t really want my whole life to change. I like the person I am and I like being able to fit in with all the humans I have met throughout my years in school and at parties. Almost all my close friends are human and I wanted to stay as much like them as I could, but I know there is no stopping the change. It is a part of who I am and what I was born into so I am going to put on my big girl panties and deal, but I don’t have to be happy about it.

    I may not want to be a full vampire but if I am being honest some of the powers they get are very cool. All vampires get to stop ageing at about 25 so if you don’t get dead you get to stay young forever. All vampires are also faster and stronger than humans, just not all at the same levels. Now there are many other abilities a vampire may get after the change it just depends on blood lines and family history. Some can fade, that’s where the image of your body fades out so that you cannot be seen, and others can fly. Let’s also not forget the ability to read minds, see into the future, telekinesis, and to control others with your mind. Of all the vampire powers those are the more common. The rarer powers are a lot more awesome but kind of scary as well. There is the power of elements, being able to control earth, air, fire and water. You may be able to control one or all of them, you just never know. There is the power to change a human into your slave for life with just one bite, see what I mean by scary. Then there is the rarest of the abilities, to be able to change shape. This power is not seen very often and is one of the most sought after. Think what a deadly foe you could be being able to change into anything you have seen and can hold a picture of in your mind.

    Now the thing that is the most uncertain about the change is you will not know what powers you will have till after you change. Most have an idea knowing that only one or two of these powers run in their blood lines so they can somewhat be prepared for it. But lucky me, my parents come from two such different blood lines that between the two of them all the powers are in my blood line.

    Dad is considered to be one of the strongest and fastest vampires on earth. That in itself is one of the reasons the Dark Horse clan is as powerful as it is. No one who has challenged my father has survived it. Dad is also a very strong elemental, he is very powerful with earth and fire, but he can also use water to some degree. Now mom is strong but not like supper strong for a vampire, but she is as fast as my father and that is rare for a female. Mother is also an extremely powerful shifter. Now if that was not intimidating enough for powers to look forward to, if you count grandparents, aunts, and uncles all the powers are present in my blood line so who know what will happen when I wake from the change. As if the change was not already scary enough without worrying about powers.

    The change takes place in every vampire between 3 and 8 hours after the time you were born on your 18th birthday. I was born at 10:35 in the morning so two days from now between 1:35 and 6:35 in the afternoon my change will start. To start that day off my body will begin to get rid of all the waist it has in it, so the change starts pretty much with me puking and shitting my guts out. Around 1 p.m. that day I will be taken down to the secure room in the lower basement, in that room is a bed ready and waiting for me. The first part of the change is a coma like state; you just get very tired and drift off….no big right. I will be in that state for 5 days; if a doctor was to check my vital signs at that time they would think I was dead. All of my body will go into a state of deep statuses so that my body and all my organs can change into what they need to be to keep me going as a full vampire.

    The one thing a vampire needs to stay strong and healthy is blood and I do mean human blood. If anything I do believe that is the scariest part of the change…the thirst. A person gets to go through all this to become a vampire and when the wake up they get to go crazy with blood lust. A new vampire will attack the first viable blood source in the room and drink it dry, so there will be no humans around. There will be a few packets of blood on a desk in the room and after I tear into them one of my parents will come in with more to help me deal with the blood lust. I am just thankful it only last for a few hours. Blood lusting vampire sounds normal right, ya not so much!

    I can tell you right now most of what people know about vampires is all wrong. We can go out in the sunlight but our eyes are very sensitive to it. We can go into a church, touch holy water and a crucifix and nothing will happen. We are not going to burn from garlic, and a stake to the heart will not kill us. The only way to truly kill a vampire is to burn them to ash and scattered the ashes in moving water, remove our heads or completely remove our hearts otherwise we just keep on going. Vampires can eat food just like any human but we do not get any nutritional value from it, everything a vampire’s body needs to stay healthy is gotten from blood. I know gross but true, it’s not like we go around biting people to feed come on it’s the 21st century blood banks deliver.

    Now that my parents are in she will be fine mode, I excused myself from them. I am way stressed out and just want to go for a swim, then go relax in my room and get lots of sleep. I am going to have a ruff week and just want to enjoy being the me I know wile I still can.

    Chapter 2

    When I got up and looked at the bedside clock I was shocked to see what time it was. I went to bed right around 11 p.m. and it is now almost 11 a.m. I never sleep more the 6 or 7 hours so being I have been in bed almost 12 hours was kind of a shocker, and with me having got all this sleep why do I feel so sick. My head feels like it is full of cotton, my stomach is twisting in knots like I am going to be sick. I have never been sick before, even being just a Halfling vamp I have never had to worry about cold and flu time my kind just never get ill and now I feel like I have the mother of all flu bugs. I know that the start of the change is ruff and can make a person ill but none of that should start till tomorrow some time. I have no idea what’s going on maybe it’s just nerves so I am going to get dressed and go down for some lunch with my folks.

    I get down stairs and see that my parents are eating in the sun room today so I go to join them. I hardly ever leave my room without being fully dressed but with how I am feeling a robe over my night clothes will have to do, hey I brushed my hair. The sunroom is a beautiful place to eat the carved out stone walls on three sides and on the far side of the room, a wall of glass looking out over our back lawns. From here you can see our flower garden wilted in the November chill, you can also see the water fountains that are on the walk ways that lead to the edge of the woods that surround the land and the guard house. The guard houses look like your typical stone family house but all I know about is the outside because I have never been allowed inside one before. Now I know there is always guards at the houses but I could not tell you how many or any of their names, father has always insisted that they stay separate from my life. I will run into a guard from time to time when I go for one of my walks or ridding but the second they see me they disappear, it’s weird but it won’t stop me from exploring the property. I have always loved the land my family home is on, I could spend weeks walking it or ridding on horseback to see all the different trees, flowers and animals that are here. As long as I live I do not believe I will ever tire of the majesty of our Mountain home.

    My parents have always been very open with me about their abilities and what they can do with them. I have grown up thinking that it was normal but I swear at times I think they held back for me their ability to read minds. When I walk into the room both my parents look up at me and within a blink of an eye are at my side asking what is wrong. As my parents walk me to the dining table I tell them I am fine, I am just nervous about the change and am a bit out of it. My poor mother looked so concerned my father had to lead her to her seat. My dad looked at my mother and said, Michya, the girl is about to go through the biggest change of her life of course she looks worn I bet she did not sleep a wink last night, did ya Angel.

    Well actually I did dad, I got close to 12 hours sleep I just woke up not feeling well is all.

    How exactly are you not feeling well mom asked.

    My mind is all foggy, it’s hard to get my thoughts straight and my god does my gut feel like hell, it’s like I ate something that it did not like at all. I am just going to have a cup of tea and some dry toast, I am sure that will help. Mom and dad kept on exchanging weird looks with each other than looking at me and it was starting to piss me off. You guys what’s going on? Stop looking like that and just talk to me. Instead dad looked at mom and said it can’t be, not this early.

    Conrad you forget my great grandfather mom said. He started his change the night of the day before his change.

    Mom that can’t be what is happening, you have always said that your great grandfather was one of the most gifted vampires to live and that is why his change started early. It’s still the morn of the day before my change…it’s just nerves that all.

    Baby, I know it is scary for you but the change is starting, listen to your father I am old and have seen the change in many a young person. Angel you are strong you can do this. My mom started to walk to me; I could see how upset she was. That change was starting too soon I was not ready for it, I did not want this at all.

    I stood before she could reach me and started to back away, I blamed them both for this. Growing up was hard enough without having to change the very core of your being. How could they do this to me, how could they expect me to be ok with this? All I wanted was to stay the person I am and wake up and be a human girl who only had to worry about college.

    Mom looked at me and said Angel darling, just sit down and try to eat something you will feel better. I was so angry I looked at them both with rage in my eyes. This is your fault both of you, I just want to be normal and because of your guys fucked up gene pool I won’t even be a normal vampire. I know only death can stop the change but come on I did not ask for this and I will not forgive ether of you for making me go through it.

    I ran from the room to the sound of crashing metal but did not stop running till I got to my room, shut and locked the door and buried myself in my bed and cried. I had never spoke to my parents in such a way but the anger just had to come out, it’s not really there fault but it is there blood lines making this happen so they can shoulder the blame for now.

    It must have been at least two hours before I heard a knock at my bedroom door. Yes I had cried and punched pillows but I was still not ready to talk to my folks so I just screamed go away I want to be left alone. The voice at the door said well tuff shit woman, I hulled my ass down here you will damn well talk to me. I could not believe it I ran to the door open it and launched myself into the arms of my best friend in the world.

    Riza lifted up my shacking body and walked into my room and placed me in bed. She grabbed the box of Puffs off my end table and handed them to me saying girlfriend wipe your face your snotting everywhere you big o ball bag. It was the right thing to say at the right moment so of cores I lost it laughing my ass off, with Riza joining in.

    Why are you here? My parents said they did not want anyone who was not a vampire to be around me when the change started.

    And the second you go into your little sleep I am out of here, I am so not going to be around when you go all Countess Suckula on folks. I know I look to tasty for ya to resist so I will let your folks handle that part.

    But do you know what it will be like for me up till that point.

    Yes, yes I do. Angel you are my best friend and you need me right now and your parents know it. They called and explained things to me so I hopped in my car and drove straight here. I can handle it till the sleep, then I will bow out till you get your mind back, then I will be here for you through whatever will come. Just tell me what ya need and you got it.

    Thank you so much Riza, things are happening to fast and I really needed someone who is a part of my life, Someone who reminds me that even after I change I will still have friends by my side. I just hope you are ready for it, because girl it is going to get gross.

    Oh your folks told me about the puking and the body emptying itself of waste. You just better have some damn good air freshener in that bath room or a gas mask for me, either will work.

    All I could do was grab Riza in my arms and tell her I loved her. How do you tell your best friend that she may have just made one of the worst moments of your life a little better? Well I don’t know how but after this change is done my BFF and I are so going shopping…on my dime.

    Chapter 3

    Riza and I sat on my bed talking for about half an hour before the cramping in my gut got so bad I had to go to the rest room and puke up what little was in it from the night before. I walked back to my bed and said Damn my parents were right the change is starting.

    Riza looked at me, squared her shoulders and said, then we will deal with it, we are two bad ass women of the new millennium we can handle this shit. I smiled at her then turned and ran to the toilet, I had barely sat down when my bowels let lose. It was horrible, my body was empting so fast it was like boiling water pouring out of my ass and when I got a break from that I was puking into a garbage can Riza was kind enough to hold for me.

    The pain was so bad; it felt like I had razors cutting up my stomach and passing into my bowels. The bouts were so bad that 20 or 30 minutes would pass without me knowing. At one point I felt a cool wash cloth on my neck, I looked up to see my mother holding it to my neck and holding my hair so it was not getting puked on. The first break I got I looked at my mother and told her how sorry I was for what I had said in the sun room, I was just scared and needed someone to blame for it and well they were there. She just laughed and said after seeing what the change is doing to you I had been kind. Then she said I just wished that the suits of armor in the sun room had not been so dented. I looked at her with confusion obvious on my face. She just thought that was funny as hell and started laughing, she said that sometimes the powers will come to a changing vamp if the get upset, and well I was pissed when I left the sun room. Mom said she believes I will be telekinetic when the change is done because the second I slammed the door on them all the suits of armor in the room slammed into the door behind me. It took my dad 10 min to get them out and try to save the armor. being telekinetic would be cool I guess, I just wish it did not take all this pain to get there. Then it all just stopped, the pain and cramping all just stopped and I was so thankful I started to cry. Mom and Riza were asking what was wrong I smiled at them and told them that it stopped, they both gathered me into their arms and we all cried with relief.

    Mom said; a hot bath would ease the muscles in my body so while Riza ran the water mom helped me undress. I asked mom how long she had been here, that I did not hear her come in; she said she had been waiting in the outer room from the moment I entered the bathroom, and then waited and hour before she joined us. I just hugged her and thanked her. I tried to stand and would have landed flat on my face had my mother not been there to steady me. There was no way I was walking to the bathtub but before I could sit down my little mother lifted me in her arms like I was a little girl, carried me to the tub and placed me inside. This was the first chance I had to look at her since this all started. Her hair was all flying away from the neat bun she away keeps it in and she looked like she had not rested in days. I looked at Riza and she too looked worn down and ready to drop. I looked at them and said to both of them how sorry I was that they had to go through this with me, I said I know it has been a rough couple of hours and thank you so much for getting me through it, both of you."

    You are my daughter it is my job to see ya through the change, but Angel we have been in the bathroom almost 7 hours.

    No way, it does not feel like it has been that long.

    Oh it has Riza said; trust me it’s not something I am going to ever forget.

    I guess so much was going on it just did not feel like it but now that you have told me my ass feels like it spent way too much time on that toilet. They both just smiled at me and dropped to the floor to rest. After a few moments mom got up and said I have to leave you for a few but I am leaving you in the very capable hands of Riza. Your father is going to be beside himself worrying about you and I am going to go put him to bed now that you are not hurting so bad. Riza assured her she would call if anything happened and sat down by me while I relaxed in the hot water.

    I do not know how long I was in the tub because I drifted off and the next thing I knew was that I was wrapped in a towel being carried into my bedroom by Riza. When I was placed in my bed I could see my mother coming from my closet with my night clothes, she and Riza both helped me get dressed and ready for bed. Mom kissed me on the forehead and told me to get some rest she would see me when I woke. I told her I loved her and watched her leave the room. Riza asked me if I needed anything, I told her I just needed to rest, she shook her head and climbed into bed next to me and was asleep in moments. I laid there looking at my best friend; my last thoughts before drifting off were of how this amazing woman came into my life.

    Chapter 4

    I met Riza when I was 10 years old, her mother and father had a meeting with my parents so they were to be our weekend guest. Riza has three older brothers but she was the only child her folks brought with them. I think they did this because of me being my parent’s only child. The second I met Riza I hated her, she was all prim and proper standing with her parents, and I was a hot mess having just got done with my riding lessons. The look that girl gave me, and my wind swept hair and dirty face was as if I was trash and should not be in front of her or her parents.

    I was raised well, with manners so I apologized for my appearance and explained why I looked the way I did, Riza’s dad thought it was a good idea for me to show his daughters the grounds and stables so the adults could talk. I already thought Riza was a total bitch but I did want to learn more about her and her family.

    Looking at her folks I could see they were not human, they did not move right and were on hyper alert but I did not think they were vampires. Both of her parents were dressed well, her mother in a deep blue gown that made her dark black skin glow, and her hair was up in such and intricate design it was breath taking. Riza’s dad was dressed in dark black slacks tightly belted at the waist with a shirt of the same color tucked into it. He looked much underdressed next to his wife but I understood why. He was dressed to fight if need be, not enough clothing to get in the way of battle. I know this because my father was dressed the same way. I wanted to know why they were here but I knew I would not be allowed to attend the meeting so I lead Riza out of the room.

    As we hit the entrance hall I asked Riza if she would mind if I cleaned up and changed before we went out to see the grounds, she gave a curt shake of her head as an ok. Now I know my parents would want me to make a good impression on our visiting guest but this girl was not going to be fun to be around so I was hoping that if we had words it would be away from our parents or the staff.

    When we reached the top of the third flight of stairs I told her my room was just around the corner, she just looked at me and asked if all this walking was for her benefit so she could see how large the house was. I just told her it was the most direct way to get to my room and proceeded onwards without saying another word.

    When we entered my room I could tell she was impressed by what she could see. My room was a lot different with me being 10 at the time but it was still awesome. Riza was just taking everything in from my large canopy bed done in woodland colors, to the walls that were painted floor to ceiling with horses in full run in different landscapes.
