A small pink book lays on the edge of Ana's bed.
(Ana, age 8)
Dear Diary,
Hello little book! Mother told me I had to write in you so when I'm older I can remember things as a little girl! I think I will like writing in you little book!
(Ana, age 9)
Dear Diary,
Mother took me ad Jim to the lake today! Jim taught me how to swim and mother made those little iced cookies I love so much, we all played and ran around in the sun until it got dark, then we caught fireflies! Jim caught the most, but he said one day I would catch more than him! I'm excited for that day. I love my life so much!
(Ana, age 9)
Dear Diary,
Things are bad, we were warned by a bad man in town the vampires were coming for us. I don't believe him. The vampires would never want to get us.
(Ana, age 9, tears stain the page, some of the ink runs.)
Dear Diary,
I was wrong, so very wrong. The man in the village was right, they did come for us. The vampires attacked our home, then Jim, he pushed my mother and I into the service quarters of our home and closed the door, he didn't come with us, and mother took me away. Jim didn't come out of the house, and I thought I heard him screaming. I want my big brother back..
(Ana, age 12)
Dear Diary,
Sorry I haven't written in awhile, working to the bone does that to a person. We ran away from our beautiful home in the country to a crowded village in Russia. I work in our neighbors mansion, I help my mother clean. The mansion owners are very nice and they treat me well, they have a son, his name is Jake and he is my age. I see him sometimes when I help my mother. I think he is rather handsome. My mother made a trip back to our old home to try and find Jim, but he wasn't anywhere near our home. I miss him, the vampires probably killed him. (a tear stain is right after the word killed) why would they do that to him? He did nothing to them, they're bloodthirsty and kill the innocent. I miss my brother so much it hurts.
(Ana, age 14)
Dear Diary,
Jake asked me to go on a date with him! My mother even made me a dress, it's beautiful, and I can't wait until we go on our date. I think he really likes me diary! Maybe we'll get married someday!
(Ana, age 14)
Dear Diary,
Our first date was magical, he kissed my cheek when he took me home. He was such a gentleman, he even had a special dinner made for us by his butler. It was really amazing, and I felt like a princess. He makes me feel so important.
(Ana, age 15)
Dear Diary,
Jake enlisted in the military. We've been together for almost a year and he still makes me feel like a princess. Ever since He enlisted, he's been very stressed, his job is very stressful because people always yell at him. I feel so sorry for him, he deserves to be treated better.
(Ana, age 15)
Dear Diary,
He hit me. Jake hit me today. I came to see him at work because he forgot his lunch, and I walked in on some general yelling at him, when the general left, he yelled at me and then he hit me across the face. Then he was really upset and started crying, I forgave him for hitting me, because he clearly didn't know what he was doing. The stinging stopped when I put ice on it later that night. I hope this never happens again.
(Ana, age 16)
Dear Diary,
Jake has been getting angrier and angrier. Whenever he comes home, if I say so ething wrong or do something he doesn't like he hits me. I have so many bruises on my arms, it hurts to move them. But I know he's stressing about his job, and he needs to put his anger somewhere. He still tells me he loves me, and he's sorry for what he does to me, and that he's just so angry at his job he slips. I believe him, a little.
(Ana, age 16)
Dear Diary,
Jake raised a knife to me today. I asked him why he yelled at a new soldier who tripped while in formation, and he said he needs to not be such a weakling, and I told him to be considerate towards him, then he grabbed the knife and pinned me against the wall. He told me not to step out of line like his soldier did, or I would regret it. I don't want to be here anymore. I want to run away and be far away from Jake. But I'm not strong enough to do it...
(Ana, age 17, just after her birthday)
Dear Diary,
My mother found the bruises on my arms and took me to her home, said I couldn't live with Jake anymore. She's nursing me, helping my bruises heal, its too bad she can't heal the mental bruises, but those will stay with me forever.I hope Jake doesn't find me, if he finds out I left, he might kill me. I cry at night, and sometimes don't sleep so I can hear if he were to come to the house. My mother says she'll never let him take me, bit she does t know what he's capable of.
(Ana, age 17)
Dear Diary,
Mother has been getting sicker and sicker. The doctors say she has pneumonia, but they don't have the medicine to heal her. I stay by her side every night, I read stories and play the piano fo her, hoping it would help just a little.

Dear Diary,
Mothers funeral was beautiful and peaceful, in the winter under a fresh blanket of snow, the snow fell peacefully as they burried her. Just how she would have wanted it. I miss her so much, but she will always be with me in my heart. Before she died, she told me to always keep my head up, never let anything stop my happiness. I promised her I would do just that for the rest of my life. I composed a song for her and played it at the funeral, it
brought everyone to tears. Including me. I'm the only one left in my family, the only person I thought of today was Jim. And how happy we all were when I was young. I miss that...
(Ana, age 17)
Dear Diary,
Today I woke up in a strange mansion, i have my own room, I looked out the window and found we were in the middle of nowhere. Then, Jim walked in. Jim, my brother, the one I thought he was killed. Hugging him again feels like a dream, he looks so young for how long he's been away, but then he tells me, he has become a vampire. I don't care that he is a vampire, just as long he is alive and I am with him.
(Ana, age 17, today.)
Dear Diary,
I have made so many friends! I met Hiccup first, he is very sweet and kind. There are many vampires with human "pets" and I am Jim's. But he tells me he didn't find me so I could be his pet, he did it to save me from my horrible life. I'm very grateful. Then I met Proteus and Marina, they're very nice vampires. Proteus is very nice to me, he reminds me a bit of Jake the way he is so strong and polite, well, the way Jake USED to be. Proteus says we're going to sail around the world since I haven't been anywhere. I look forward to that, I think I'm going to like it here with all my new friends. It's so much better here.
(*pants then falls over* sorry that dragged on forever, this is to get a good idea on Ana's past. well if anyone wanted to know. lol. sorry that it's so long and detailed. I'm a writer I can't help it.)
