Before I start my story, there are some things you should know. First off, vampires exist. We're not like Dracula though. Not all of us anyway. We're good people who are born, live, and unfortunately die. Don't get me wrong, death is a natural thing, it just kinda sucks. Especially when there are vampires who don't have to die, but I'll get to that in a little bit.
Second is that we're everywhere. Really! We have our own government and our own police and medical services. We have to because our crimes and our illnesses aren't the kind that can be handled by mortal police and doctors. We have whole towns filled with just vampires. I'm from one of them, a city called Acadia. It's in Upstate New York.
Third, our government is a monarchy. Kind of archaic if you think about modern day democracies and stuff. Even modern day monarchies are less primitive than us. At least the king or queen doesn't make every decision basically by themselves. I mean, we have a council, which is great and all, but all they do really is advise the royals. Every country has their own set of royals. I'm the American Princess. Did I forget to mention that? It's not something I'm used to saying.
There aren't many ways to kill a vampire, even one like me. Stopping our hearts, decapitation, starvation, and fire are the only way's to murder us. Fire is the best option, it's the favored form of death by the Faction.
The Faction. The Immortals who can't die. It's not just that they won't, it's that they can't. Immortals are strong, they're tough, and they're, well, immortal. Immortals can only die by starvation or by another Immortal ripping their heart out. Rumor has it that they can die by fire if they're stuck, but it's never been proven. They're evil, they're cruel and they have no souls. Every vampire is raised to hate Immortals and the Faction. It part of the reason why a lot of Venoms hide what they are. Venoms make Immortals.
Oh, did I mention that vampires have powers? Well, we do and they're pretty cool too. There are Dreamweavers (that's me!), Clairvoyants, Manipulators, Empaths, Elementals and a bunch of other types. My best friend, Sam, she's a clairvoyant. It's totally awesome that she can see the future. Her visions aren't always right though, the future isn't set in stone. She's cool though. I'm a Dreamweaver. It means that I can get into people's heads when they're asleep and mess around. It's kinda cool if you think about it. I try not to though. I learned my lesson when I hopped into one of Adrik's dreams a few years ago. Let's just say I found out what my brother liked in girls.
I go to Hellfire Academy. It's this really cool vampire school. Human's don't know about it, or about our city. Hellfire is the school all vampire kids in the northeastern US go. We start at kindergarten and end at twelfth grade - rumor has it they're gonna build a college though! It's big, it's old and it's Headmistress is a former noble from Russia. Isn't that awesome! I've never been to the high school part of the campus. The twins always said it was awesome though.
My name is Rozalinda Lilya Ivankova. I'm fourteen years old and about to start my first year of high school at Hellfire Academy. Wish me luck.
