I was at my desk when I woke up, I knew I must have fallen asleep but I also knew that someone was watching me like a hawk. I looked at my watch and saw the time was 3 in the afternoon. I yawned and stood up and streched,"Mmmmmm....." I grabed my packet of cig and lighter and lit up a cig then I droped the lighter and packet on the desk, I took a deep long drag.

"You know I just love your hair, my dear, it's so punkish. It reminds me of the 80's." Auntie Elizabetha said from across the room. Her voice was like soft and sweet, like honey.

I jumped and turned to her, my heart was beating like crazy, but lucky I never dropped my cig cause it stayed tightly trapped bewteen my index and middle fingers on my right hand,"Auntie Elizabetha what are you doing in my room? While I was asleep?" She kinda found that weird but yet she liked it could her auntie was like her fairy godmother.

Auntie Elizabetha chuckles softly, it was like musical."Well I wanted to visit my niece before her birthday but I find her asleep at her labtop, so I thought I would wait for sleeping beauty to wake up. And look she did." her voice was full of sarcasm.

"Ha funny." I rolled my eyes and sat next to her on my bed, I leaned on her and she wrapped one cool arm around me. I never knew why she was always cold but I knew wanted to know that answer. "No but really why are you here? I thought you where coming on the day of my birthday not a day before. Not that I don't love when you come to visit but..." I just stoped talking cause I was making a fool of myself. I took a drag of my cig and looked at her.

"You shoud stop smoking, it's bad for you." she took the cig from me and put it out on my ashtray.

I shrugged."So...?" I've heard the stop smoking thing from mother, father and all my friends but I don't care because I can think of a lot more faster and slower ways to die. But I never told auntie Elizabetha that though because she would gave me that look I hate to get off her. It the you-should-known-better look. God I hate that look.
Elizabetha chuckles,"Oh my dear, I understand you want to rebel against your parents but really smoking, blue hair and the emo clothes is not the way to do it."

I blinked and was in shock that my auntie has just worked out my little evil plan to cause my parents hassle for leaving me with nanny after nanny after nanny. Sending me to an all girls private schools, too fencing club, horse riding club and extra classes after school. So I thought why not make there prefect daughter an emo, smoker, party animal? Which is what I did.

Elizabetha chuckles."Don't be so shocked that I know what your up to, young lady. I use to rebel against my parents too."

"Which left you with a red ass cause they spanked you for rebeling." I knew I must have looked smug for knowing that.

"Well they didn't spank me, they...well beat me until I behaved."she said so calmly but her eyes gave away her anger and sorrow. So I hugged her tightly, she smelled of roses from her body lotion I got her for chirstmas. Elizabetha hugged me back tightly but not too tightly. Her body was cool against mine, I have always wondered why her body was always so cool but I have never had the guts to ask.

"It's okay dear, it was just how children where treated back then." She smiled at me and pulled from the hug but ketp one cold arm around my shoulders.

"Okay then."I said lamely but I did lean on her and I layed my head on her shoudler.
She patted my arm gently."Now what I am going to tell you is real and it is important that you keep an opened mind, understand?" she asked me and I nodded as I wonder what she was going to tell me but I knew it would be important.

"Good." She too a breath."Now in the 3100 BC there was an old tribe of witches in England where looking for away to be immortal. And they made a potion and gave it to a young pregant witch, called Veron. When she gave birth it was to a twins, a girl called Aeron and a boy called Alun, they where the very first vampires born into this world. They grew up..." I cut her off.

"Vampires?" Has her auntie gone mad or something? Did she really believe that I would buy this crap? Vampires are not real, they belong on page or on sceen not in real life.

"Do not interupt me, child." Her words where sharp and harsh which made me nodded and look away from her. "Good, now where was I? Oh yes I remember. They both grew up in the coven but the twins never ate or drank anything but they did drink blood, onces every full moon they needed to kill a human to live because that blood would last them a whole month. They where much stronger and faster than anyone else, they had the strengh of 20 full grown men. " she took a breath.

"The men and women in the tribe lusted after the twin so very badly, the twins used there beauty to get what they wanted. They got married on there 16th birthday but found out that they could not that Aeron could not get pregant nor could Alun's wife. They where very upset by this, so they tryed to use the postion that there mother used to get herself pregant but it did not work. But on the blood moon, they year they turned 20 the twins went crazy and killed the whole coven, they where very upset with themselves that they burried the coven but the next night the whole coven rose up as vampires." she took another breath and she rubbed my arm like she was trying to keep me warm.

"The coven where like Aeron and Alun but yet they where different from the twins." She spoke like she was somewhere else.

"Different how?" I asked because I had to. I was really getting into his story cause it was getting good.

Elizabetha smiles lightly."Well the coven lost there magical powers but they found they couldn't walk in the sun for they would burn, they found that they could see and hear better that they where faster and stronger. But they could have children with each other which was a plus for Aeron and Alun. So the coven had many children and those children traveled the world making more and more vampires until the humans where all most wipped out. Historian's blamed that on a illness but others knew better.
Anyway the vampire thing got out of control and so Aeron and Alun had to kill most of the vampires until they only had 500 vampires left. Now over time the vampires have be under the control of Aeron and Alun for the past 1000 or so years."

I sat there waiting for her to go on but she didn't speak, I think she was giving me time to process all this, which I was greatful for. I just couldn't believe what she was telling me but apart of me did and I wanted to kill that part. Vampire twins? Witch coven wanting an immortal life? 3100 BC? Fucking hell this was getting to be too much. But I knew Elizabetha wasn't finished.

"In 1665 Aeron died in a house fire in Romania , the whole vampire community mourned her death but it was her twin that was most upset by this news. But he could not take revenge on the humans that had killed Aeron because he had to look after her new born baby girl, who was called Alin.
Now Alin was a well protected young lady, she was the most beautiful of all the female vampires. She married when she turned 25, to Emil who was only mortal and they had one child together, a little girls called Andra."

Elizabetha looked at me."Andra was last of the great line of many children to Aeron. She was the most beautiful and most powerful but yet she was always in danger. Alin and Emil moved into the country side but they knew they had to get Andra married to a vampire before she turn 18 for it was the law back the." she sighed.

"Her name was...Andra? That's werid cause Andra is a Scottish name, not Romanian."I frowned, trying to understand where Elizabetha was going with this but I all ready knew but I needed to hear it from her.

"Alin was a well educated young lady and loved to learn of other countries, like Scotland, England, France and Spain etc. Now Andra was courted by many other vampires and mortals but there was only one man she wanted and his name was...Vladimir Vasilescu. They married and since Andra was only a dhampir, her father was only mortal. So she would have died if Vladimir had not given her his blood on her 18th birthday because dhampir's never lived for very long."

"Ummm...auntie you don't accpect me to believe this bullshit, do you?" I had to ask her but I didn't want to be rude about it but I didn't care because this story...sounded to familiar to me. Like a part of me understood but other apart didn't.

Elizabetha chuckles."Oh my dear Andra you do have away with words." she patted my arm gently."And to answer your question, I think you already believe me. But the real question is do you want to believe it?"

"I just want to be normal. I just want to dress up for my birthday and go out drinking with my friend." I sighed. "But finish your story, auntie."

"Good answer, my dear." she smiles. "Now after Andra started to turn into a full blooded vampire a group of witch hunters came and started to kill some of Vladimir's family members but they sadly staked poor Andra but she still lived because she her was a fast healer, so when they took the atake out she started to heal. But she needed blood but there was no blood around at the time. So they had to do a blood promise."

I cut her off."Yeah I know I had a dream about that." I frowned and rubbed my hand over my heart. Had that been a dream or a memory? What had Vladimir said? Oh yeah he said it was memory of my past life...with him.

"You remember of your time there?" she asked with great interest.

"Yeah I do." Then I told her of my dream when my past self got staked and stuff. I knew my auntie was listening to me, she rubbed my arm gently as I talked and when I was finished, she kissed my forehead gently. Her lips with cool and they tingled my forehead a little and I smiled a little.

"I guess you really are Andra Albu Vasilescu, huh? Sorry that was her full name."she smileed at me.

"Wait Albu? Isn't that your last name?"I frowned then I pulled from her when I finelly figured out why her skin was so cool, why she always spoke in a royal maner."Your a vampire aren't you?" I couldn't hide my horror as I backed away from her, my legs bumped into the back of my computer chair.

Elizabetha looked at me with understanding."Yes I am Lady Elizabetha Albu that daughter of Alun Albu. And I have looked out for you your whole life Andra, so you have nothing to fear from me."

"But your are fucking vampire?!" I yelled at her. I knew she could kill me in like two seconds flat or just scare me to death. But hey she was doing a pretty good job on the last one. Good god I can't believe my lovely auntie is a blood sucking demon from hell!

Elizabetha looked at me was sadness. "Yes I know what I am, my dear, but I am not ashamed of it." she stood up and brushed herself off. "I shall go but I will be back for your birthday. But please talk to Vladimir and complate the blood promise or you will die." she looked at me with her warm brown eyes, her black hair was high in a tight bun that worked well with her cream suit. She picked up her cream leather hand bag.

"Are...you going to kill me if I don't?" I really had to ask her if that is what she was going to do because I love my auntie dearly but if she was going to kill me for not talking to a guy then she was going to find out how dangerous I am.

Elizabetha laughed at me."Oh dear god no, I am not." she chuckles."Andra why would I want to kill you when I have looked after you my whole life? Why I have ketp a watchful eye on this family. I love you as if you where my own daughter. So no I am not going to kill you. But please talk to Vladimir Vasilescu, it is important that you do." she smiles at me. "Now I must go, I will see you tommorrow." She walked out my room and she closed the door softly behind her.

I just stood there in shock, I didn't know weather to cry or laugh. I didn't even noties I was on the floor shaking until my cat Luna crawled onto my lap and purred. I looked down at her."What the...How did I get down here, Luna?" I asked my cat as I pet her gently. I just felt so...tired, I just wanted to sleep and never wake up but I knew I had worked to get to. I stood up on shaky legs as I held Luna close to me and I leaned on the desk that was behind me. My auntie is not my auntie, she is in fact my blood sucking cousin who is as old as the earth! God I must look really stupid to her...well to the whole of the vampire world! I thought as I put Luna on my bed.

I changed out of my leggings, baggie T-shirt and fuffy socks and into my black jeans, white blouse and black knee high boots. I left my hair the way it was because the mess hair look is in style right now, so I'm good. I sat on my bed with my make-up bag, I wiped off my make-up from last night with a face wipe. I sighed a I rubbed on my Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Foundation which felt nice against my skin. I put on lots of black eyeliner and eye shadow then I added just a tint of blusher on my cheeks. When I was done I put my make-up back in my SpongeBob make-up then I got off the bed and walked into my bathroom and looked at myself in the miorror. I looked so tired and lifeless. No amount of make-up could hide the bags under my eyes, my eyes looked darker than normal but maybe they have choosen to go a different color like they always do.
I sighed and walked out my door after I picked up my Hello Kitty hangbag and my black hoodie, I jogged down the stairs and all but ran out the house. I lit up a cig as I walked to my car, I could feel someone watching me but I didn't want to look like prey, so I just ketp to my normal paces as I walked to my car. I took a deep drag of my cig as I fished my keys from my bag, I unlocked my car and got in. I loved my car, it was a silver Ford Ka, which I bought myself for only £300 and that is pretty cheap for a second hand car.

I never let my parents buy me anything that I needed in life, I just did not want to be one of those spoited brats back at school. I just can't stand them acting like they are so much better than everyone else but the truth is everyone else is so much better than those brats. I got in my car and backed out the driveway slowly then I started driving to work and it started to rain lightly, the rain tapped against the car as I drove.
I sighed."Just what I need, fucking rain." I mubbled as I looked in the rear view mirror then I saw BMW M3 following me. I looked back at the road and shrugged, it's not like it was following me. God I was getting as paraniod as great uncle Arther. I parked my car at the back of the book shop, I pulled on my hoodie and put my hood over my head to protect my hair and face. I got out my car and locked it, then I walked to the back door of the shop and that is when I knew I wasn't being paraniod. My attacker slamed me into the wall.Hard. My head hit the wall so badly that I thought it would bleed but I was wrong. My attacker ketp me pinned to the wall, one hand was on my shoudler and the other was on my head, hold it to the side while his body pinned me to the wall. I looked at the person that had pinned me to the wall and saw it was a man that looked about 30 or so. His eyes where red, and I mean red. His whole eyeball was prue red against his pale ivoy skin. I wanted to scream but I couldn't, I just looked into his red eyes, it was like I was paralysed . He growled, no I mean he really growled, it was like a wolves growl or something like that. Then he pulled my head back and slamed it into the wall, very hard then I was out like a light.

I didn't know where I was, the last thing I remembered was I got attacked by that wearid guy with the red eyes. And now I'm in a field, which is werid but kinda cool too. I was standing in long lush green grass that swayed in the wind, I could smell the grass and the fresh air it was very relaxing and calming. It was very peaceful here and very beautilful too, I could see miles and miles of grass and that was it, the sky was a clear blue color and there where no clouds in the sky at all. Where am I ? Why am I here? Am I dead? Is this heaven?, I thought as I walked forward threw the long grass.

"Ah so you have finally arrived, Andra Wallce." A voice said but the voice sounded like my voice but only with a Romanian accent. Just like it did in my dream or my memory of my past life or whatever.

I turned around and saw her just standing there looking at me. It was like looking in a mirror, she had the same pale ivoy skin, the same blue, green, gold and grey eyes that change color in different lighting. The same high cheek bones, the same full lips and the same freckle on the left side of my or her cheek. She was wearing a pale blue silk dress that covered from the neck down, it looked like someone out of a Jane Austen movie. Her long pale blond hair was blowing in the lightly breeze, her hair was light moon and sunlight mixed together and it reminded me of what my hair use to look like becfore I dryed my hair electric blue.

We just looked at each other for the longest of time until she brush a lock of her hair behind her ear."I have been waiting a very long time to be reborn and I have in you. I must admit that I never thought I would have to wait for so long to see my Vladimir again." she smiles softly and she touched the locket that was around her neck.
It looked just like my one. The locket was made of silver which was on her a thick silver chain, on the locket was a single small rudy in the middle of it. I frowned because this girl that looks so much like me was pissing me off, big time.

"Who the fuck are you? Where am I? Am I dead and is this my punishment to be stuck with you for the rest of my after life?" I was glad that my voice sounded calmer than I felt. She chuckles at me, and I wanted to punch her for it.

"Oh I'm sorry I should of laughed at you. Well I am Andra Albu Vasilescu. And you are in your mind. And no you are not dead but you are stuck with me." She said calmy, like we where talking about the weather.

"Your...Andra Albu Vasilescu? Your the one who Vladimir loves, your the one my auntie Elizabetha has been protecting. Your the reason I am going to dye tommorrow!" I yelled at her. I was getting pissed off because the reason Vladimir and Elizabetha are in my live in because of this girl in front of me. The girl that looks like me!

Andra Albu sighed."There is not need to yell at me, Andra Wallace. I never wanted to do the blood promise with Valdimir but I couldn't say no to him, not with that look of great sadness in his eyes. You've seen it, haven't you? In your dreams, you saw the sadness in his eyes and on his face." She looked upset by the memory. And I could see why because I remember seeing Vladimir's face it was full of sadness but is more like he was going to lose his best friend in the world.I remember wanting to hold him in my arms and tell him that I would be okay, and that I love him more than my own life. I shook that memory and feelings from my mind and focused on getting out of where the hell I am. Wait didn't she say I was in my own mind? Yeah she did, so that means I have to wake up.

"Yeah I saw it. And now I'm going to died tommorrow all because you can say no to him." I snapped at her.

"I know it's hard to believe about vampies but it is true, Andra. Ever notice that you heal faster than other humans? That you have better hearing? Better sence of smell? It's because of the blood promise."

“Wait what do you mean?”I asked confusingly.

“I mean your mother, Maggie, she is from the Albu line. She is some what part vampire, but not by much. I think it’s because the vampire gene has been weakend over time from all the mating with humans.”Andra Albu chuckled softly.

“My mother is a vampire?”I whispered as I shook my head.“No way in hell is she! I don’t believe you!”I yelled at her.

“There is no reason to lose your temper at me, Andra. Now please when you wake up, go to Vladimir and tell him that Zeklos is after the family again.”Andra Albu said in a hurry just as the wind started to whisper.

"Andra. Can you hear me, Andra? Andra come on wake up, please!" A voice whispered in the soft breeze of the wind. I knew that voice but I couldn't remember who it belonged to. I tryed really hard but nothing came to mind. I looked around for the person that was saying my name so desperately, I didn't even hear what Andra Albu was saying to me I knew what she was saying was important but for some reason I didn't care so much I just wanted to find that person that was calling me. I just could see anything but green grass, blue skys and Andra Albu. Then it happened I was being pulled back, like someone was draging me backwards threw the fields of long green grass. I looked back at Andra Albu, she looked sad that she wasn't coming with me or maybe it was the voice that made her look sad. I wasn't sure what was going happen but I sure that I was going to punch the person that is still pulling me back, it felt like a long time of bring pulled , I could still see Andra Albu in the distance, looking alone and cold. I closed my eyes because I could stand to see anymore green and blue, I waited until the pulling stopped that's when I felt a warm hand against my cheek, my eyes snapped opened and saw the face of my best friend, Mac.

Tuesday, 11th of May 2010, 6pm.

Elizabeth Albu left my parent's hotel room just now, she told us what happened with Andra and how she reacted when she got told the story about the coven of witches wanting to live forever but insted they made the first vampires in the world. Also the history of the Albu's family history and the death of Aeron Albu and finally the truth of what Elizabetha really is a vampire. From what Elizabetha told us is that Andra didn't take very well to the news about her family past at all, I'm not shocked at that I'm sure she was thinking about those hollywood vampires like Lestat and Dracula and so on. I am very worried her birthday is tommorrow and if we don't complete the blood promise then she wil die and I will lose the love of my live. I tryed to call Andra but her phone must be turned off or she just dosen't want to talk to me, but who could blame her for not believeing me or her auntie? If I was her I wouldn't of beileved it because to humans vampires are just on page and screen thats all. But she must understand that she could die! God I swear this mordern women are so emotional but yet so strong and want to deal with everything themselves. I must go and find Andra and tell her I don't want to die and that I love her.
