The pain that soon followed was indescribable. With the rapid pulse of my heart rate, the venom quickly began to spread from my neck to the rest of my body. I screamed in agony as fire coursed through my veins, burning me alive from the inside out. “Make it stop!” I cried out, slumping off the wall and onto the floor. “Get the fire out of me! Put it out!” I thrashed about in pain and desperation, not even sure if the vampire was still in the shack with me. It was pitch black inside, and I was already blinded by the pain as it was.

Time passed by entirely too slow. Every second seemed like an hour, and it wasn’t long before my mind was convinced that I was in the black and fiery inferno known as hell. I had long since forgotten about all of the events leading up to this current state, for all I knew now was pain. No, pain and agony scarcely even began to describe what I was going through. I gnashed my teeth together in an attempt to distract myself with some other pain. Something other than this fire that continued to burn me but not consume me.

After what seemed to my exhausted mind an eternity, the pain slowly started to subside. After a few last feeble pumps from my heart, the pain stopped. I sat up a lot quicker than I meant to and froze, having startled myself with my speed. Although it was still dark inside the shack, I could now see my surrounding quite clearly. It seemed that I had caused a lot of destruction with my thrashing around. I stood up, at a human pace this time, and dusted myself off. After another quick glance around, I noticed that there was a note taped to the door and that I was alone. Mildly annoyed, I tore the note from the door and began to read.

Congratulations. If you are reading this then that means that you have finally awoken as a full-blown vampire now. It shouldn’t be too hard for you to locate your first meal. There is a small neighborhood only a few miles north of your current location in which you can find some easy pickings. Don’t get caught and happy hunting.
