THE STRANGER
All my life I've waited for someone...
All I wanted was someone to love and care for a reason to be alive but I'm not. My pale skin and cold hands with the thrist of blood in my throat compels me to hurt the ones I love. The only way is to remain hidden, away from people I love the most. There has to be a way to see them again...
I wasn't always this way I was born a human. My adopted parents William and Miranda always wanted a child. Desperation got the best of them, when they made a mistake that couldn't be undone. I was just a child growing up they were the best parents any one could ask for. I was so happy living in the best way possible in a wealthy respected and honored family. All of France knew the names that made history scientist they were. My life changed when I stumbled upon the study lab located in the mansion where we lived. All of my parents work were conducted at home and little did I know they were very dangerous. I ended up playing with a needle that contained animal blood which affected me in the worse possible ways. My parent's couldn't detect anything until it was already to late. I was already in transition I felt differently but never paid any attention. I would do things of a regular child not knowing what I was becoming. One strange morning the house maid came into the room to wake me, I was supposed to attend school that day but when she opened the curtains I felt as if I was on fire the burn was so intense I screamed. My parents who were in the other room heard my screaming and immediately rushed into my room, they questioned the maid as to what had happened but she couldn't answer their questions. She was immediately asked to leave the mansion. My parents rushed me to the hospital as quickly as possible but not even the doctors knew what was wrong with me.
I was so scared lost and out of control. My eyes turned red and my teeth turned into fangs, the thirst for blood was the only thing on my mind but I didn't want to hurt anyone my parents noticed and rushed me home they locked me in my room. I could heard hear the arguments taking place in the room next door I knew something was really wrong with me. I was only a child, I got scared with the changes I never wished to hurt anyone. My parents kept me hidden trying to find ways to reverse what had happened. It took years for them to come up with a solution but unfortunately they didn't didn't have much time. The vemon I had touched was already spreading through my body it was to late for a cure. My parents did find ways to keep me from dying, they trained me to be around humans by feeding me animal blood. They would put me to bed during the day and let me stay up all night. Some days were hard on my parents when they had to sleep at night they took turns in watching me. When I turned 21 my parents felt comfortable that I could be around again I had made a lot of progress in my training over the years and now they wanted to test their theory. Dad invited a few people from work and mom invited a few neighbors to attend a party hosted by us. I was excited to meet people after so long being locked away. Before heading down the stairs my mother warned me to be careful. During the party things seemed to be going well my parents introduced me to alot of people. I miggled with everyone until I came across a girl. She was mesmerizing, her eyes were green with long blonde hair her rosy lips and pink cheeks made me nervous. I looked from afar I didn't want to draw any attention to myself. As I looked on I watched spoke to my parents and I happened to slipped myself into their conversation just to introduced myself I was eager to know her name. My parents realized how interested I was in her and feard the worse. She said her was Isabella Walker.The night continued going well everyone was having a great time. Isabella and I kept talking she seemed interested in me as well, we took a stroll through the garden as she talked about how she grew up and the places she have visited. I hardly spoke for all I've known was the walls of this mansion. Isabella asked alot of questions but my answers were mostly NO or I haven't been. She got confused for a bit, I was getting nervous I didn't want her to know what I was. She ended up spotting a white rose that my mother loved and had planted a few years ago. Isabella was drawn to its beauty and tried to pick one where the thorns of the branches pricked her fingers. The smell of her blood got to my head my eyes turned and my hands got cold I knew I wasn't supposed to hurt anyone so I immediately ran away from Isabella. My parents saw me rushing into my room and followed me, by the time Isabella turned around I was gone she started asking everyone if they had seen me. My parents calmly talked to me and controlled my thirst for the blood with medication. shortly after my parents announced that the party was a success and would kindly like everyone to leave. Isabella thought it was very strange and confusing she was eager to know the truth about me. The next day I while was out writing my journal in the garden, I saw the back gate of the mansion opened. I decided to close it when encountered Isabella. she was trying to sneak into the mansion I got angry and asked her to leave. she said that I left before she could of asked if we could of been friends? as much as I would have loved to I told her I could only be a stranger to her and it would be best if she leave now. Her eyes were filled with desperation to know me I had to do everything to keep her away. Months passed and I haven't seen Isabella I think about her everyday I was becoming obsessed with seeing her again but my attempts would fail. my mother realized my misery and decided to find Isabella, she found her a nearby plant shop where she works and asked Isabella to come over to help her with some roses she bought. Isabella immediately agreed and came home with my mother, in shock I looklooked from my bedroom window hopelessly because i knew i couldn't go near her. my heart opened to see her it made me wanted to spend time with her hold her hands or hug her at times but I couldn't. I was helpless in my situation. My mother pushed me to talk to her everytime she came over and I would shyly talk but not many words would come out. Until one day Isabella stumbled into my room while I was asleep. she read my journal by accident, she had figured everything about me and my family. In fear she ran away and never came back. I tried calling her but I got no response my mom went to visit her a the plant shop where she worked and the manager said Isabella never came back to work. my mother got scared she realized she had made a mistake by allowing Isabella and I to get to know each other she rushed home and found me asleep as she was to walk out the door she managed to kicked my journal which was lying on the floor after Isabella had read it. my knew she had to find Isabella so she went to her house. Isabella was alone her parents were in Paris for the weekend. my mother talked to Isabella about what she read in my journal and she understood well but didn't realize that Isabella's friend jess who lives next door was listening their conversation and immediately ran home to tell her parents. Isabella came home with my mother that evening and I could see a bit of fear when she came out the car but my mom assured her that she would be safe. Isabella looked at me differently and my mother explained to me what had happened I felt horrible and angry at myself I apologized to Isabella but I also opened up for the first time I felt comfortable to talk to anyone about the way feel. We talked all night Isabella swore to protect me and my secret she stayed the night and I could have never been more happy. in the morning we were all waken by loud screams an shouting neighbors protesting they wanted us to leave and never come back they feared what I was and threatened to kill me if I stayed I feared my happiness was over my parents tried to explain but no one wanted to hear that they chained my hands and dragged me out onto the road my rage got to the best of me I started to fight back Isabella fought with me trying to protect me my parents informed the police and everything was quite for a while since my parents and the authorities were good they let me go. Isabella and I packed I was leaving I couldn't let anyone get hurt because of me . without telling my parents I escaped with Isabella through the back gate of the mansion and went to the northern mountains it was cold and had alot of animals for me to feed on there were nearby shops and a small town where Isabella could find food as well we hid in forest and build ourselves a small house and lived together for 2 years. Isabella and I got more close and we began to fall in love with each other but I still couldn't go near her without hurting her so I choose to keep my distance until she made it happen. Isabella and I had just got back from hurting she made bond fire and we both sat closely together she put her hand on my face and looked deeply into my eyes and slowly pressed her lips against mine i couldn't help myself i kissed her back and lifted her onto my laps, running my cold hands up her back she gripped my hair and kissed me continuously I began to remove her clothes and she removed mine the next thing I know I was staring into her eyes the connection I felt made me love her more made me want to go further and I did. The morning after we both woke up in each other's arms and the feeling of happiness was all around I had never felt like this before and I wanted it to stay. My parents who was looking for us had found us an begged me to come home. Isabella told me it was time to go back but what happened next I wish I had never went back. The villagers and neighbors around my parents house ambushed us mid way to the mansion and snatched Isabella from me they stabbed my parents and came after me my rage of seeing my parents I began to crave the blood. I killed anyone who got in my to save Isabella I got blood on my hands for the first time and I became more aggressive and I didn't care for felt any remorse for anyone I didn't spare a single soul when I got to Isabella her father pointed a gun at her head threatened to kill if I moved and in fear I stepped back but he shot her anyway my world fell to the ground Isabella fell into my hands and whispered her last words an they were I LOVE YOU MY STRANGER! I never told Isabella my name until this day I cried and whispered back my name Damon! she smiled and said my name before she closed her eyes. by then her father had gotten away. it took months before the incident became quite I went into hiding an realized the I was not aging years went by an still I never changed my abilities got stronger and I became more confident I started to work and I made my way up as a businessman I owned 2 companies and I built my own mansion to honor my parents and after 40 years I looked like if I was still 21. I threw a huge party and invited alot of guest from around world and I realized I wasn't the only vampire in the world I met a whole new world with people like me and I found my love again by looking at a picture of Isabella. I went outside into the garden while the party was in progress I wanted to be alone for a second when i realized a beautiful woman who looked exactly like Isabella but her name Clara Matthews she was interested in picking the roses I have planted for my mother. she said I have never met the most loving stranger in my life before I couldn't help think about Isabella but something felt as though Isabella had returned into my life so I reply by telling her my name I'm damon but I don't mind being the perfect stranger from then on clara an I spent alot of time together and got married now we have 2 kids clara knew everything about me an kept my secret till the day she died.

ONES WHO CHANGE US.............🙂
