I was born in a town called Merchandising Town, population 4,298. It was a town like Hustle Town. There were a lot of shops, and people selling products to survive. My mom was one of the women who let vampires drink her blood for money. She would get around 40 dollars a night, but most of it went on paying off my dad's gambling debts. My dad was addicted to gambling, and a good for nothing. My mom fell for him at a food stand when he gave an older lady free fruit. He was, at one point and time, a good man. Mother always took care of him, which is why he quit his job at the fruit stand. He would only make around 10 dollars a day. Compared to her 40 dollars a night, he figured he didn't need to work.         As time passed, he began spending late nights out with friends. Him and his friends would gamble on things like cards, or how good the harvest for both humans and food would be, or even on how many servants would be bough

       As the elevator left the 106st floor, I wondered what the queen was like. I did not know much about how the world worked, but I did know that we lived in a monarchy. The human race is ruled by a queen and a king vampire. My father told me that the world has been this way for 199 years; since 2102. humans went to war with the vampires in the year 2101. but lost. Thanks to Ms. Maria, I now knew even more about how we lost.  I stood in the back of the elevator, holding Maria's hand. There were 7 floors we had to go up to reach the Queen."Ms. Maria?" "Yes dear?" "What's on the 113th floor?" Ms. Maria looked down at me, smiling, then got down to my level. "Deary, we are going to the Royal Throne Room. Usually we need an appointment to go there to talk to

     Maria dropped me off on the 106 floor, and headed back to the queen. We said our goodbyes, but she knew she'd see me again. When I walked into the living room, there was a box wrapped in paper and ribbon. On it was a card.       Welcome to the family. I will be in my office all day today. Take this chance to explore your new home. I hope you will like it. You are my child now, but you will still have to do servant jobs.       I put the card down on the table, and opened the box. Inside were 2 different things. One was a movie, the other a book. The movie read 'Rava the last dragon', and the book read 'Green eggs and ham'. I was in awe. They were in good condition. To find a book, or to have a movie was rare. Usually you could only see a movie at the theater, which cost a lot. Books were even harder to get

        The elevator doors opened, and a teenage kid stepped out. His height was about 5'7. Seemed close to Prince Anthony height. He had ash black hair. It was nicely cut. He had a little bit of his bangs covering one of his eyes. The other eye I could see. It was a candy red. He was a dhampir. He had his hands in his pockets. He wore a uniform. It looked like a school uniform. He had a white button up shirt with a red jacket over it. It buttoned in the middle, just 3 buttons, enough to close the jacket but still see the shirt. He wasn't wearing a tie though. His pants were a darker red than the jacket; his jacket a cherry red, and his jeans a wine red. He had on orange sneakers for shoes.      Prince Anthony must have heard the elevator bing, because he was right behind me."Blake, glab you could come. I knew you just got out of school, but I did not want Asoka to go alone." He gave Blake a hug. Was it normal for dhampir to

       I woke up at 6:30 am. I had spent my night putting things away and getting ready for my first day at a real school. Carter elementary. It is an all vampire school, but I was sure things would go over well. I did have the fear of getting ate in the back of my head, but I didn't let it stop me. This was what I had always wanted; to go to a school with other kids. 1st grade was not the lowest grade. I figured the prince did not think I needed to start in kindergarten though. 6 years old was the age for first grade, but I was not sure if I was smart enough to start there.      I chose to wear the dress uniform for my first day. I had it laying out on top of my dresser. I was not sure if there was a rule against it, but I chose to wear purple stockings. Then I had my black polished dress shoes to wear.
