Six - Sam

The log cabin in the woods is perfect. It’s simple, away from the others, and it is like the house I’ve always wanted. I have little, but it’s home. Decor has never been my strong suit. Not only am I a vampire, but I’m also part of the biggest vampire clan in all of Dahlia. I like to keep a low profile no matter what, but it’s hard to do that when you are someone like me. The job I got is simple; patrolling. We have territory that cuts through an old amusement park. Humans like exploring abandoned buildings and other places.

Vincent is a vampire that I find to be a little of a friend. He’s like a brother to me. I don’t make friends easily or even at all. I like to be alone. Being alone is something I get because I’m never interacting with people. If I'm being honest, I like it this way. If we walk into the sun, we burn slowly and will eventually die. It’s not instant, but sometimes I wish it was. Being turned was never something I wanted. William told me it was okay if I wanted to be alone, but I’m still part of the clan.

The house is big enough for me, but if I'm always alone, there’s never anything happening. Family. When there’s family, they're love and an unbreakable bond. This cabin is one I've always wanted; In the woods, away from people. As much as it’s amazing, no one visits unless I’m in trouble or something. That’s rare, though. I grew up on a farm when I was a kid. Call me stereotypical, but country music is amazing. Around my eighteenth or nineteenth birthday, I moved out on my own, my parents a faint memory. I don’t remember nothin’ about them. Maybe it’s something stupid to say, but that doesn’t bother me.

Around my 25th birthday, I became a bit of a wild guy. Having one-night stands, getting drunk, going off on drives whenever, and blowing everyone off. There was one girl, Alexis. She’s my maker, but can go F right off. She turned me against my will. She has zero hold over me. We were a fling and now we’re strangers. That’s all I want; her to leave me alone.

William is a leader, but he can only do so much. He brought me into the clan and, for anything, was glad when I said I’d stay in Dahlia. He told me about times when he was the first clan leader. The people he turned were all he had. Then he took people in and soon enough accepted me. I’ve got nothing against thee but, he can’t do anything for me to help when all this crap is in my head. He’s a good guy.

Love. Nothing I want. I don’t trust easy; I can thank Alexis for that. If a relationship is something that can happen, it scares me actually. Falling in love with someone means letting down your guard. I’ve built walls that ain’t coming down for no one. Sure, I’ve turned someone, but somehow ended up with two newborns to deal with. The blood lust so far is terrible. Gotta watch them closely, so I have no time for love. Now, it may happen, but I ain’t praying for it. I can wait for whatever the world throws at me, but two newborns need all my attention right now. In a year or two, my eyes can rest on something…or someone.

In a few years, I got no clue what I want. Maybe I’ll die. The world is always changing, but it’s not something that bothers me. Change is a damn blessing; sometimes. As I lay in my bed, the ceiling mocks me. Sure, I sleep, but not enough. It hurts to sleep and fail. That’s why I don't know what I want. Or maybe I do and just don’t want to admit it.
