The Double Life Chapter 1: The Past and the Present

I am a normal girl when I look in the mirror, I see a Pranda dress

clad girl with long wavy brunette hair, extra shiny due to a lot of

shine spray. A porcelain white face gone over many times by

make-up artists. I hurl my fancy Christian Louboutin pumps with

force against my mirror and it shatters, That was the biggest lie I

have ever committed. I am NOT normal . I am the complete

opposite of normal. Why me! I mean why not someone more fit

for the spot the fame, the stardom, the spotlight! And my deepest

darkest secret of all I can’t tell anyone. Because if it gets out the

outcome would be unfathomable, terrible, sinister. I am a blood-

sucker other wise known as a VAMPIRE. The raw truth is that I

am a celebrity and a vampire. Glamour and blood pretty much

sums it up! I know epic right? I just go a day at a time. I really

try not to drink from the source . I go on blood bank raids. It’s

pretty easy really. Take a running jump up to the top of the 5

story hospital then go to the sun roof pry it open , jump down

and there you are. You have to control your thirst, turn it off, but

it’s not easy let me tell you! No one really knows me for who I

really am. Oh my mentor, she’s a vampire but she has her own

ideas and I have mine, she is also my publicist and my BFF Zoe.

I live in a mansion , it’s quite prestigious! But the mansion is

really only the crust inside is really a sort of headquarters for

vampires. Yes it’s hard, it’s tuff , my mentor Cassandra always

says “ Melantha this is what you were born to do”. I mean give

me a break! I have no parents . I do but none that I ever knew of.

I was left at the doorstep of Cassandra’s house. She has raised

me fairly. One day I was at the mall singing to myself and got

spotted by a talent agent . My dreams came true , or so I thought.

I made my first album and it sold like wild fire to all ages. I walk

the red carpet regularly , I do concerts to screaming fans it’s

normalcy to me. Then I stared in a few movies and they were

hits. Before all this when I made my choice to follow my dreams

Cassandra made me promise with my blood that I would protect

my secret with my life, so I wouldn’t expose my kind. I will

Have to be going to my first day of ninth grade in a few minutes.

Oh no, it’s not a regular it’s a school for you guessed it

Vampires. I am not a celebrity there. I am a out-cast an

abnormality. I get reminded everyday that I don’t fit in here.

Will I fit in any where? I slam the door of my sleek black

Porsche and look up at the ancient castle filled with secrets. Oh

yes I’m back at Gamorath’s Academy.

Well ,well , well what do we have here? The little nuisance

herself!

It was one of the many bullies. Bullies are in vampire schools

too! He was wearing a band t-shirt and black jeans.

“Get your filthiness away from me ballerina boy.”

Ok I have to admit I can say so pretty out there things but to be

truthful I was frightened! This vampire could and would over

power me any moment.

“Melantha how is everything? Would you like me to walk you to

the doors?”

OMG if there’s anything that makes me blush it’s being rescued

by the hottest, sexiest boy in the whole school! With his sexy

green eyes, his hard muscles, black wavy hair and soulful eyes.

Oh I got it.” I mumbled and ran up the stairs to the door.
