The beginning story of the first vampire to ever live.

Hello everyone, my name is Izzy Daniels. I recently stumbled across an ancient set of writings, and found it quite fascinating. A vampire that goes by the name of Tobias Zeling, left a stack of journals in a cave outside a random forest. Upon reading them I thought it would good to share my knowledge of what he has written. It was composed over the period of what looks to be almost a millennium or two, so I plan on putting it into the best language I can. Here is his story by means of journals.

10/31/1666

Today was my 13th birthday. Mom says that I’m growing into a good man, whatever that means. I really wish dad could have been here, it’s rough not having him around. I was the only one at school who had to pass on carrier day, because mom is so busy all the time.

A few weird things have been happening lately. I’ve grown over 30 pounds in the last week, no height, and I’m not getting fat. It looks to me what seems like muscle, as I can lift a lot more than I used to be able to. It’s rather funny, I somehow managed to beat up Bernard this morning. He is always picking fights, and since no one else had the guts, I kicked his butt. What weirded me out the most though was that this evening the black eye I had disappeared. The cuts, and bruises went away, and I feel absolutely great. It’s as if the darkness heals me up, or something.

My teeth keep growing back in now. Mom says the Tooth Fairy is bringing me money, but I saw her putting some coins under my pillow after I got up to go to the bathroom, so I know she is fake. One thing I don’t get is why these two teeth are longer than the others. It’s like I have a pair of fangs of something, growing out of my mouth.

I’ve also got a curious new love of blood. Not looking at it, but the taste. My body is usually fine throughout school, though it can be tough at times. I just have to make sure to feed on the rats around the town center at night, otherwise the bullies start to look really tasty.

As far as dad is concerned, mom has told me all the stories. He seems like an excellent man, I just wish I would have gotten to meet him. If only he hadn’t sold his sole to Lucifer, this whole problem would be here…coarse then again, neither would I. I do see why he did what he did, mom is an amazing women, and I would have done the same. I just wish she hadn’t had to leave because of me.

Victoria is pretty cute. She sits next to me in English. You should have seen her today. Fredrick was doing his best to hit on her…didn’t really work. She is too smart to fall for a guy like him. It’s a shame she doesn’t notice me, cause she is the smart most good looking girl at the school, and that is saying a lot since there are over 200 children there.

Crap, I can hear mom coming up the stairway…I think she saw the cadle. I’ll add more to you tomorrow journal, till then…goodnight.

    I decided to give this a read, as you seemed excited about showing me it. Here are my thoughts.
    -The approach to making it seem like journal or diary entries is a good idea.
    -Where is Tobias Zeling? What country is he in, exactly? Just curious, that’s all. It’s not a bad thing to hide the location of your protagonist as it can create suspense and mystery, but it may limit Tobias’ character in terms of depth.
    -500 AD is pretty ancient. I think it’s when the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) empire was still at large. For some reason I get the feeling that this is taking place in some European country in a far later time because of the public education. In 500 AD, apprenticeship was still the main method of education. Perhaps, say, the mid-1600’s/1700’s would be a more suitable age? Just my opinion, again.
    -The flow of the story is rapidfire and it quickly developes. It’s a great story at heart, but it feels compressed if you know what I mean.
    -It kept me interested, as I went to page 2 without hesitation.
    Good story, I think it’s going somewhere, although maybe not in sync with your other vampire story.
