Story Of My Life *Nevaeh Faith*

I was born January 16th, in Ohio. My whole life, I was keep a secret from everybody. Why, you ask? The answer is simple; because I should not exist....

My dad was a vampire. He was everything my mom was not, cold and hard and frozen one way forever. My mom was a shapeshifter. She was always warm and soft and could take the form of an animal, but remained the same age for a long time. She grew up with the fact that vampires were her enemy drilled into her head. My dad was always told shapeshifters were his enemy. The shapshifters have an imprinting thing. This is where you find your soulmate. I was told it's like love at first sight, you see that person and want to be with them forever. You love them and care for them deeply and do everything you can to make them happy. This is how it was for my parents. They ran into each other one day in the forest and my mom imprinted on him. I do not know my parents' names and i regret that deeply. They knew they were not to be enemies, but soulmates. This went against everything they were taught, but they didn't care, they were in love. They both knew they would have to keep their love a secret, for fear of the punishment. I was born after my mom had been pregnant for three months, I grew quickly. They told me my name has a meaning. Nevaeh, for Heaven speeled backwords, a place theyh were sure they would never see. Faith, because they said they would always have faith in me to do the right thing, no matter how hard it is. I try to live up to my name, and so far, I'm doing an okay good at it. My parents would hide me in the forest where they had a small house. I never understood why I couldn't go with them when they left. I didn't know anything about the outside world, or that there was one. One day, a person, who was so beautiful it hurt me to look at them, stumbled into the house. This person reminded me of my dad in so many ways. They were carrying something that resembled a body, but i wasn't sure. This person spoke to me like they knew me. I wasn't sure what to think of them, so I kept my distance. They explained to me why my parents hadn't come to see me for so long. The horror of the story I was told that day still haunts me. That day was the day their secret had been discovered. This beautiful person, whose name i soon learned but forget, told me the Volturi, the royal family in the vampire world, had destroyed my parents and were wondering if they had any children. I would never see my parents again. The Volturi were going to come find me, and there was nothing I could do, but run. Run and hide like a coward. The beautiful person set down what they were carrying and I finally saw it was a human. The human was still alive, but barely. The vampire part of me struggled, trying to take over to tell me to kill the human, but my shapeshifter part was telling me to protect it. The thirst burned in my throat while I fought with myself. This was the first human I was ever around. The beautiful person explained what happened, this human had been attacked by a coyote and needed help, fast. I picked them up then, and ran to the hospital. One human life saved, regardless of my vampire side. Aftger running back to my house, the beautiful person told me about a small town called Forks in Washington. I decided it was the place for me and I took off running. I found the forest and lived there, hunting only animals or eating at the diner. If I saw any humans in danger, I would rescue them, except one. She was always in danger, as far as i could tell. Her boyfriend was a vampire and her best friend a werewolf. After she married her vampire boyfriend, and they came back from their honeymoon, she had a daughter who was half vampire, half human. Another vampire saw this child and the Volturi came to destroy her. I watched in horror as the Volturi came to take more innoccent lives, I couldn't stand it, but there was nothing I could do. They all came to an understanding and left, I was so happy, except the fact that one life had been lost. I stayed in the shadows where nobody could see me, I was good at hiding by now. Recently, I went on a run and ran into a girl. Her name is Anna May and she is like me. Her and I are close friends, I was so happy when I met her. She is a 50/50 like me, half vampire, half shapeshifter. I have no real family, but she's the closest I have right now and I'm grateful for her. If not for her, I would have given up by now. The Volturi gave up looking for me, or a least I think they did. I watch familes everyday, longing for the days I missed growing up, kowing I'll never get them back. I refuse to kill innoccent people, instead, I protect them. I always knew I was different, but how I wasn't quite sure. Now, I know, and so do you. Please don't judge me because I'm different, it's not fair to me. There are still times I want to kill myself, want to rip me to shreads and burn myself, but it's just not possible.
