The day Charlie became a vampire

Charlie was born back in 1984 in Willow Creek, a nice little suburb in California. Her mother, Yanyan, was from China, while her father Roger was from New Jersey, though his ancestors were also from China. Growing up was pretty lonely, her parents often at work, no siblings to speak of. She did had a half-brother, from her father’s first mariage, but not only did he remained in New Jersey with the first wife, he was a decade older than her. As a result, they barely saw each other.

At 21, she was living a pretty average life for a woman her age, had some friends, going to school. Her lifelong dream however was to have the big happy family she craved for as a child, and have a romance straight out of a fairy tale. The first step to do that though is to find Prince Charming, which she thought she did after barely a month of online dating. She met a man named Thomas Kirk. He was her age, at least physically, as he was a vampire who had been bitten more than 200 years prior. This was not really a problem to her, this was the mid-2000s, if anything, dating a vampire back then was trendy, even though, sadly, vampires were quite discriminated against. An example of that is her parents, who kept on telling her to not trust vampires, and if she did turn into one, it was over.

After dating for a while, they went on a date, it was like a dream come true. Once the bills paid, Thomas brought her for a lovely walk at a local park, near a wooden area. Charlie was certain he was already going to propose to her, naively...Instead, he bit her, sucked most of her blood, then left her for dead. She never heard from him again.

In spite of being in a nightmare of a situation, she still had some luck left, as a teenage boy passing by came across her. He rushed her to the nearest hospital, it was already too late. Charlie was already showing signs of vampirism, which meant an antidote couldn’t work. The strain which infected has no cure once you’re showing symptoms. On the inside, she still has some sort of blood-like substance flowing through her veins, though it does look clear compared to regular blood. While not 100% accurate, the best way to describe it is that she’s “rotten” on the inside. It’s just meat that barely does anything. Her brain obviously still works, and she needs to breath cause not doing so is actually painful, she can eat food for pleasure but can only absorb nutrient from fresh animal blood. However, her heart doesn’t beat and she would be unable to get pregnant. Anyway, even if she wasn’t infertile, it’s not like she could trust anyone to be the father of her children after such a traumatic event.

She had to make the annoucement to her family, it’s impossible to hide, her skin literally turned blue! Maybe they’ll have a change of heart and realize not all vampires are bad if their own daughter is one, though it’s a hard sell considering the circumstances under which she became one. They stook to their guns. After a heated argument, where they reminded her they told her this whole “dating a vampire” was going to end badly, she got kicked out.

Charlie sat in front of the door, crying. What did she even do to deserve this? She doesn’t know, but while 14 years has since passed, easing the pain a little, it’s no secret she often wished she could go back in time, and make sure all of this never ever happened.
