I'm standing in total darkness, all I can see is myself. I take a step and plunge into the darkness. As I'm falling I hear a voice saying, "give yourself to the dark, it is the only way to learn what you are." But I can't. For I feel if I do there will be no returning from it. All seems lost, and just as I'm about to give in, I woke up in my bed in a cold sweat.
I knew I wouldn't get anymore sleep that night. I had been having the same dream for around a week. I grabbed my jacket off the back of my door and quietly climbed out of my window, careful not to wake up my sister in the next room. I made my way to the roof of the library near my house, and noticed someone already sitting on the roof right next to where I usually sat.
It was almost as if he knew I would be there and was merely waiting on me. I went and sat down, mainly because I didn't feel like he was a threat. As I grew near I saw that he was around my age maybe a year or two older. I had never seen him before which struck me as odd. He said he had in fact been waiting on me. When I asked him what his name was he said he didn't remember, but I could call him 13. He told me when I was born it had been written that I would have a great destiny. He said I would have to one day embrace darkness and use it to rule.
We talked until the sun started to rise, at which point he asked to see my hand. I gave it to him and he took out a very old looking knife. He cut both of my palms and both of his. He grabbed my hands and said, "This is going to hurt." I remember a tingle starting in my hands and moving throughout my body, then the searing pain. It felt like liquid fire going through my veins. Then I felt the roof rushing up to meet me. I must've blacked out, because I woke up about an hour or so later judging by the sun, with two fresh scars cut into my palms. I ran home, crawled back through my window (thank god nobody was awake yet) and immediately wrote the events of that night in my journal.
And that is how I discovered I was not quite...normal. Ever since I have experienced strange things and I am not quite sure how to fully control myself or my cravings for blood. I don't know if it means something or if I am just going crazy. If you have any advice, please message me.

I've never experienced what you have. I'm sure if I did, I would be a little scared. Not by what happened but because I wouldn't know anyone else who was like me then. But I have always been attracted to the darkness and vampires make my breathe catch and my heart to stop just for a moment. To be able to experience what you have would mean freedom for me. For who I really am.
