Description

Personality

Dani loves listening to her music. Although she prefers not to get on anyones bad side, she will stand up for herself. She loves animals. She just discovered that she is a vampire and made a plan not to eat ANY humans and only eat animals. Yes, she got this from Twilight, but it seems reasonable. She hates it when people mention what she is. If she feels she has started a fight or argument, she has no problem admitting to it and apalogizing. She likes to have fun and dance around not really caring about what others around her think. She only cares about what people say about her being a vampire, it really bothers her.

History

Dani lay in bed, trying to sleep. It had been that way for the past week. After about an hour of laying there, she got out of bed and crept around the house. To her surprise, there were no snores coming from her parent's bedroom. In fact, it was silent. Danielle guessed that her dad got tired of her mom complaining about his snoring. It was about time. As she passed by their bedroom, she caught the scent of something good. Eating this early in the morning? Whatever they were eating smelled really good. It seemed to lure her right to the doorway. Then something sharp sunk into her bottom lip. Ouch, did I just bite my lip? She licked her lip where it was now bleeding and felt the tip of her canine teeth. Maybe she was just that tired, but it felt as if they were longer than usual. She knew it was ridiculous, but she went to the bathroom to check just to prove how silly she was being. Danielle looked in the mirror and froze. Her canines did look longer. In fact, they looked a lot like fangs. She heard someone coming down the hall and quickly turned out the bathroom light so they wouldn't see her reflection in the mirror. Her dad stood in the doorway, looking down at her.

"Can I help you?" Danielle asked sarcastically.

Her dad seemed highly unamused. Actually, he seemed different. Something in his posture gave away that he wasn't in any of his normal moods. She had never seen him this tense. He blocked the whole doorway. Danielle raised a brow.

"Um, I kind of need to get through that, dad." she said, gesturing at the door.

He didn't even look, just kept staring at her. That was when she knew something was seriously wrong. She took a step back and stared at him, trying to figure out what she should do. He came toward her and flicked on the light. Danielle saw a bloody knife in is hand. She gasped. Danielle was never the type to scream, even if she wanted to. Her dad continued to come closer, hand tight around the handle of the knife. Danielle was trapped. She couldn't even take another step back without falling over the bathtub.

"Dad. What are you doing?" she asked, voice barely above a whisper.

She was filled with panic. The knife in her dad's hand raised. He pushed her against the wall and held the knife to her throat. Tears slid down her cheek.

"I should have done this a long time ago. You don't know what you are, do you, Danielle?" he asked angrily.

Danielle swallowed and took a deep breath so she could answer.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

Her dad put his hand at the base of her neck, the knife right above it, ready to slice her throat open. She swallowed again. It hurt against the knife, but it didn't pierce her skin. Her dad looked very angry. Danielle didn't know what bothered her the most. The fact that her dad was about to kill her or that the blood on the knife made her hungry. The sweet smell taunted her as she stood there, panic stricken.

"Vampire, Danielle. They exist and you are one of them. So was your mother." he said through gritted teeth.

A knot formed in Danielle's throat. Did her dad just talk about her mom in past tense? She shook her head, deciding that her dad was crazy. It was impossible. Vampires weren't real. They didn't exist. She was too scared to shake her head.

"It went wrong. You're a failure." he shouted at her as if it were her fault.

Danielle felt him apply more pressure to the knife. It started to sink into her skin. She kicked him in the knee as hard as she could and darted from the bathroom as he dropped the knife in reaction. It was only a few seconds before he was barreling toward her again. Danielle ran to the front door and yanked it open as fast as she could. She ran across the yard and kept running, straight down the street. The adrenaline pumping through her entire body allowed her to keep going. It wasn't too long before she lost him. As she went on, she met others like her. Not vampires, but teens with abilities that their parents tried to kill them for having. Ever since then, they have been on the run.
