The tears, they stopped, but the regret... It didnt go away, it was part of me. "I... I killed a person..."
These thoughts didnt left my head, " please... just kill me... someone."
I was on the floor, absolutely destroyed... i knew this feeling, it wasnt new.
Suddently, i wasnt on the sewer anymore, it was a familiar room... it was my old bedroom.
I looked around me, I started touching things, but i couldn't, it was like... I was a ghost. "A... a memorie? Time travel?"
I heard and felt someone from the hall, "my mom...?" I tought, then, a noise came from my bed. "Mommy! Mommy is it you?" said young Hill, that was 6 years old at the time, who just woke up, scared.
I had realized what was going on, I was on a memorie, and I knew what memorie, It wasn't my mother on the hall. "Hey, hey, it's okay Hill, dont scream more." was what I wishpered to him, scared, knowing what happend that day.
I kept wishpering desesperately "Please Hill, don't scream."
But he screamed, "MOMM!" He couldn't hear me after all, or see me. I didn't went back in time, I had no influence under this.
I felt the man who was on the hall coming closer, It wasn't a presense like that woman on the hospital for sure, It was the oposite, while that woman had a kind, weak innocent presence...
This one, was a strong, demolishing, and scary one, he opened the door slowly. "There you are, I guess you have some similarities with him... he's going to be really happy."
Back then, I didn't payed attention to what he said, but know I did, "Have similarities with who...? Who is going to be happy? Wait, something's off, he doesnt look like a robber."
I remembered very well that a robber broke into my house, but he didnt look like one at all, he was all dressed in black, and had a black coat that almost reached his knees, he looked more like a model than a robber.
Young Hill was scared to death, "mommy... MOMMY!" and started crying, the man instantly went near him and placed his hand on his mouth, to shut him.
He was fast, he looked like me when I ran out of the hospital. "He's a Vampire... The person that killed both my parents was a vampire." I was sure.
I felt someone else, a stronger, scarier and more demolishing presence than the man's... I remembered that it was my father who came after my shoutings and... died. "My father had a stronger presence than him? Then... How did he died?
Then, a stake went straight from the door to the man's back, piercing his body and coming out at his chest. "AHH..." Blood came out of his mouth, as he fell on the floor.
I didn't remembered any of this. "What... What is going on?" Young Hill went to his father running, scared. "Papa..." And kept crying.
My Mother was behind my father. "Come with me dear, everything will be fine." They got behind my father, the man had taken the stake out of his body "You missed ahah, you have to pierce me on the heart. And instantly went after them.
He was really fast, almost invisible to the eyes, but a wall was there, it was my father.
My father grabbed his neck and throwed him to the ground, leaving cracks on the floor made of wood. "What do you think you're doing? Who do you think you are...? "Blood came out of his mouth again, he had broken his back.
The man looked up to my father, "You are joking around with the opportunity that I gave you to live? You are joking around with my mercy?" Said my father, standing still, looking at him directly in the eyes.
The man was terrified, i know that he could feel the same presence that I can, a terrifying, horrific presence, consuming you, entering in your mind.
I saw the scene in complete shock. "My father was stronger than a vampire? No... I remember very well that nothing of this happend."
"I'm... I'm sorry..." Said the man in despair, as my father pierced his heart with the same stake that he had thrown at him before. His presence was gone.
My mother came to my father, "We have to get out of here as fast as possible dear..." He answered "I know, but he can't live like this, he can't live with us. I need to compel him."
"Compel...?" I had absolutely no idea of what was going on, "Why don't I remember anything of this?"
My parents crounched on the floor near young Hill and proceded to say as my father's eyes turned blue: "Son, you are going to forget about everything that happend here, you woke up with some noises from the hall and you screamed for mommy, but a man that was robbing our house entered your room and..."
"I get it now, my parents were vampires, and they killed that man. But why? Why didn't they told me? Shouldn't I also be born a Vampire?
Why did they ran away? Why was a vampire hunting me, a 6 year old?"
"...from now on you are going to live with a friend of ours, live a normal life Hill..."
My Mother was crying, she looked at my father, " Say it" He smiled. "Your mother told you to not give up, no matter how hard it gets, sleep."
These were the last words of the compulsion, as his eyes went back to it's natural colour, young Hill slept.
Three people on that room were crying, and you know who I'm talking about.
But they didn't left the house yet, they said one more thing: "If you are listening or seeing this, it means you have turned into a vampire... as when you turn, compel has no effect anymore. I really hope you never get to see this, but if you are son, go look for a woman called Ashy, she's going to help you, you can trust her, she's a friend of ours, also a vampire..."
My mother stepped into the conversation: "I'm sorry son, if you ever see this, be careful, it's going to be really hard for you once you get involved with other vampires, let's just say that... you and a very well known vampire look alike..."
"So that explains some things, why did the vampire came to kill me and what he said about me looking like someone, what I didn't understand was... I was a 6 year old, how old is this vampire physically for me to look like him?"
"...Thats why we have to run away, this man, he wants you, but he wants us even more, we will be going to a peacefull country, far from here, Ashy will know where we will be."
"If you are seeing this, everything will be fine dear, we know that being a vampire is hard, you probably have already killed someone didn't you? It's okay, you just have to let go of the regret, it wasn't your fault, it's impossible to resist to the urges when you turn into a vampire..."
"...Be aware that you are strong son, I know that you are going to be okay out there, but be careful, and... don't be surprised if everyone recognizes you." said her, laughing a bit."
"Go look for ashley, and come to us son, I wont be able to live without seeing you... good luck dear, remember, you are strong."
They both cried as they picked up young hill and the body of the vampire, and left the house.
I wasn't on the bedroom anymore, I was back at the sewer, but the tears were still there. "I got it, my parents, they never died huh?" Said I, smilling and crying at the same time.
"Ashy, I have to find her, and find my parents, if I was with them, life for sure, would be better."
"I just... I just hope they are fine" Suddently, I wasn't sad or anything like that anymore. I was determined, I wanted to be with my parents, i've lived my life thinking life didn't had a meaning but, It for sure had one now.
"I have no idea of how I'm going to find Ashy, but I'll do it, i will find her, even if it's... Even if it's the last thing I do."
