" It's not a big deal my child.. We're normal people just undead" smiles sweetly
later that night as I walk around in the woods
The full moon was high in the sky as aunt Kathy stood watching over you with a worried look on her face.. She knew what she had to do but that didn't make it any easier for her
So you’re saying I’m part vampire? I look at her
she nods
" Yep.. And tonight the full moon will rise and your transformation will be complete"
sitting in a rocking chair, I'm an elderly woman now that was quite the life wasn't it?
looks over at you with a smile
It was.. You were always so strong through all of it.. Even when we were hunted down by the humans who feared us
he looks confused undead…as in…we’re immortal?
She nods "Yes we're immortal.. We eat human flesh to keep our bodies from decomposing."
i look at her so i’m like a vampire?
she chuckles
No sweetie we are ghouls. We eat the flesh of the dead, and yes we have heightened senses but no flying or turning into bats..
"What's that look for kiddo?"
I look at her with my red eyes
She smiles and pats your head
"Yep.. You're a ghoul through and through. Now come on we have much to discuss before the full moon rises."
looks at her so I'm gonna turn into a... zombie?!
shakes her head no and pats your shoulder gently
" No my child.. You're gonna turn into a ghoul! Zombies are mindless corpses who eat brains.. Ghouls retain their sentience and can live normal lives"
I’m excited to become a vampire I smile
Aunt Kathy chuckles and smiles "Oh honey.. I think you're a little confused.. We're ghouls, not vampires.. We eat the dead. Not drink blood"
i look around I can feel it in the air...its happening.
"Yes.. the change.." She says with a smile.
You feel the change starting.. Your teeth become more pointed and fangs drop from the roof of your mouth.
Your skin starts to go pale almost ghostly
i look at my hands so im a monster
"No! No! You're not a monster dear.. I promise. We are just people who's souls are bound to our undead bodies. We feel just as human as anyone else.. We just have a few special traits"
So I'm like a vampire? But we don't drink blood right?
"Nope no blood we're ghouls.. We eat raw flesh"
looks at self in mirror seeing fangs
stands behind you with a warm smile
"You look beautiful my child.. Now come the fun part"
