I’m in love……..
“As is always the case…….”
and this is where my story begins…….

She’s beautiful, my heart used to beat at one hundred miles an hour every time I saw her. I never understood why? Even though it can never be. One day it just may!

The time is now…. What date is it???? I don’t know……

I never knew or cared too much about what day it is or what time it is. As from where, I understood things. Time just goes on and then I had to be at school by 9:00 am everyday. I hated school and I hated studying despite being a little bit cleverer then the rest of the students. But that was beside the point as against her I was always a ‘nothing.’ Keeping up with the other students wasn’t the challenge. But getting close to her was a real strain as sitting behind her while our legs were crossed and listening to the stories that the teacher used to read to us, was always a chance for me to one day get to know her, other than her being, just a name in the classroom role book.
Every time the moment came. I would just stare at her long beige blonde hair and just wait until she wasn’t noticing to gently pat or even get a feeling of what her hair must be like.

But I had a small problem. I was also in love with her girlfriends. However none of them could compare to her.

I was always a good kid, a little bit weaker then the rest and I never ever let her know that I liked her. Besides the fact that her mother used to teach at the same school and every time we had her for a teacher I was the best student in the class. Surely, I was the one to get all the lollies and presents. However, her daughter never ever became close to me as she could probably get the drift from ten miles away. Every time we had to be good in class and be the quietest and the best student. I would always participate to always get the blue ribbon that her mother was going to give at the end of the day. That is how I knew that I was always the favourite.

I went shopping one day and saw her with her mother and I tried to keep as quiet as I could so it wouldn’t be obvious that we all knew each other as I had problems of my own and I couldn’t wait to get out of the shopping centre as soon as possible.

Then I would go home and wait for the weekend to quickly come to an end and hope to see her again the following Monday.

I used to catch spiders in my playtime and with friends I would be the ‘leader’ and show-off and hope for her and her girlfriends to see me in action for catching the most dangerous spiders of all. During the school days their used to be numerous visits by, ‘Zoo keepers,’ that used to bring dangerous snakes and spiders to present to the school and I would always participate in letting the snakes and spiders ‘slither’ and ‘crawl’ all over me. But that was in primary school all to please my self-satisfactions.

However, I never participated in sport. As I was afraid she and her friends may end up laughing at me.

What I loved the most in life were ‘Werewolves and Vampires.’ As I felt I was one myself. A ‘Vampire’ I mean. "A real-life living ‘Vampire’ hidden from the world and possibly my past." Meaning, before this life. However the thought of this never crossed my mind until later years to follow. Meaning until I had grown up. As there were a lot of mysteries about myself that I had yet to ‘unravel’ for myself. About myself. Watching horror movies late at night. I would wake up in the middle of the night to watch a real scary ‘horror’ movie, when I was a child.

Why did I ever think that I was a real ‘Vampire?’ Unfortunately, that I cannot mention. As I am sworn to solemn secrecy of my own vows to God whom every time I look in the mirror I see as myself. However, I was never evil and am solemnly condemned to fight for good and to protect for eternal life. ‘Eternity’ I have called this. What I always enjoy or enjoyed the most in life was fighting against evil. Which backdates to my previous life. 'My eternal fight for love.' The struggle or the fine line of ‘good’ and ‘evil.’ “I am the dark Angel amongst the living. As there are other Angels that are all females. I am the only male amongst the females.” ‘I am the darkest of the angels. The Angel of Death. I am the last of the Vampires and am classified, an Angel. As when I bite with my fangs into the living or the mortal flesh I am not drinking their blood but removing their soul from the world of the living. To take either to heaven or hell while they are encapsulated in their dreams fast asleep.’ In case you ever wondered? Heaven or hell does exist my dear friends, as I will prove it to you ‘maybe,’ if I need to, later on further down a few chapters. However I may not as my obligations do not cater for me to ‘frivol’ or ‘quarrel’ over major issues that concern the living as it distracts ‘mine’ and ‘their’ frame of thought. As usually during my schooling years I have constantly been told ‘to just get on with it.’

My story now continues….

It’s a nice sunny day….. I’m only a kid and haven’t grown up as yet……
