a leather book lays hidden under Jim's bed, its worn and tattered from being touched so much.
(Jim, age 8)
Dear Journal,
Mother told me to write in this book, so I can look back on my life. Ana turned 5 today, I got her new sheet music for the piano, she is learning really quickly on the piano. I think she's going to be really good when she gets older.
(Jim, age 9)
Dear Journal,
Today, someone picked on Ana when we went to the park. He called her a "musical freak" because she was trying to write her own song. Then he tried to take it from her, I know I shouldn't have, but I punched him in the face. He ran away crying, but I didn't feel bad about doing it, I had to protect my little sister.
(Jim, age 10)
Dear Journal,
I started playing the guitar today, Mother says I'm really good. I'm good like Ana is good on the piano, sometimes we play at the same time and neither of us can hear our own music, then we stop and laugh till our bellies hurt. I love my sister, I don't know what I would do without her, she's my best friend.
(Jim, age 12, theres a little picture of Jim and Ana when they were young tucked inside the page, in the picture they're laughing.)
Dear Journal,
We went to the lake today, Mother gave me and Ana more sheet music for our instruments. I really like mine, I'm starting to get into the harder stuff now because I'm older. Music is the one thing that my family can all relate to, my mother sings, Ana plays the piano, and I play guitar. I'll never stop playing my music.
(Jim, age 13)
Dear Journal,
I never thought this would happen to us. Today a coven of vampires attacked the house, the man in the village was right, they WERE coming for us. I managed to get Ana and Mother out the service quarters, but they grabbed me before I could make it through. Their leader, Dimitri, told me if I gave myself to them, then I'd live forever, and that he would teach me everything he knows. I asked him in return, if he could watch over Ana if I went with them. He agreed, and he turned me into a vampire, I feel so horribly cold now, I only want blood.
(Jim, age 13, a few days after the last entry. the words written are shaky and quickly written.)
Dear Journal,
I can't control myself, I attacked 3 deer today. My thirst for blood still isn't quenched, Dimitri said it wouldn't be fully quenched until I drank human blood. I smell everything, I hear everything, I can sense things that are hundreds of feet away. Its so strange, I can feel myself growing stronger. I'm afraid I'm going to lash out at Cale or Meg or Dimitri, but I'm slowly starting to be able to control myself. Cale came a few days after I did, we're kind of like brothers I guess, closest we're ever going to get to brothers anyway.
(Jim, age...I've lost track.)
Dear Journal,
I drank from my first human today. He was unconscious, so he was okay, and I didn't kill him, Dimitri says we're not sucking them dry, we're just feeding from them. I like that we don't have to kill humans, it makes me feel a little better.
(Jim, who cares how old I am.)
Dear Journal,
We were traveling in Europe today, stopped in a small town in Italy, saw this girl, she's really beautiful, green eyes, long brown hair, she's really nice from what I've seen of her. I'm too shy to talk to her though, she's just so beautiful I think I'll make an idiot out of myself.
(Jim, lost track.)
Dear Journal,
I finally got the guts to talk to her, her name is Leslie, she's really amazing. I even asked her to go to dinner with me later this week. Is it too soon to say I'm in love?
(Jim, *shrugs* 18 or so.)
Dear Journal,
Journal, I'm in love! Leslie and I went to the lake today for a picnic, she's just so happy and carefree, I'm so lucky to have her. Meg likes her a lot, Dimitri likes her too, he's just less open about it. I'm going to tell Leslie tonight, that I'm a vampire, I hope she loves me enough to accept that its a part of me, I think she will.
Dear Journal,
I told her....and she freaked out. I thought she would understand and be more considerate about this, I told her I don't hurt people, but she was too scared to care. She said she was leaving, leaving to go to the United States, she takes the train in the morning and she said I could come and see her off. I'm going to miss her, this stupid vampire thing has ruined my life.
Dear Journal,
She's gone, gave me a picture of us and left. This is the first time I've cried in years, I keep thinking of Ana, and how much she would have liked Leslie. I know she would probably tell me that, everything would work out in the end. She's probably right, I miss Ana so much.
Dear Journal,
Finally decided to settle down we did. Dimitri bought this HUGE mansion, said we were gonna take in other vampires. Cale's really happy with his fiance, she's really nice, they're really in love. Reminds me of what I had with Leslie, but Katara actually accepted the fact that Cale was a vampire. Leslie left because she was afraid of me, afraid of a monster...
Dear Journal,
Been a few years, doesn't help that I lost you. Dimitri says now we can have 'pets'. We can go and retrieve our own humans for 'entertainment'. I don't want entertainment though, I want Ana back, I thought of going to find Leslie, but she has most likely moved on from me, but you can't forget your first love, its not possible. But the second thought that came to my mind was Ana. I need to find her and bring her here. I haven't seen her in years.
Dear Journal,
I finally found Ana, I was able to knock her out quietly and bring her here. I just sat in her room for awhile, just watching her sleep. I made sure we had a piano in the music room for her, because she still plays. Found out my mother is dead, Ana wrote a song for her, I brought all of Ana's possessions here with her. I hope she's happy here, I'm just glad to see her again, I finally have my little sister back.
This picture falls out of the book, its kind of worn, but its still beautiful.
