Waking Up Dead Chapter 6: Let's Face It

My face...

My fingers gingerly trailed this new skin I was in. I looked around the room quickly though, in search of a mirror of some sort. Soon enough my eyes met a bathroom door.

I jumped out of bed, I heard a loud crack but ignored it. I ran into the bathroom, nearly dodging the toilet and looked at myself.

The first thing I noticed was my eyes. My once green-gray eyes become a velvet blue. I then looked at my hair, afraid to touch it. It was once a light brown now the darkest black I've ever seen. It mopped over my eyes some, shagging all over.

Not only was my eyes and hair different, so was my body. My once well-built body now became a lean, pale flesh-on-bone sort of thing. My skin, oh what happened to my tan?? I look nothing like myself, I didn't even look normal for a vampire.

Sighing, I walked back toward the bed. No point in hoping I could go back. What's done is done.

I looked down at the floor next to my bed. Planks of splinters shot of it. The faded carpet was ripped enough for you to see the original color. All of a sudden, looking down at this sight, I began to laugh.

I did this. I jumped off the bed and well...Broke the floor! I laughed so hard that I'd cried if I could.

But I stopped abruptly once I heard the door open behind me.

"Fallon?" I asked, still looking at the gaping hole.

I heard a low, dark chuckle. "So, it's true. She's turned him into a vampire."

I slowly turned around, somewhat nodding in the process. I stopped to face a man much older than me. He had cold, icy eyes. They were gray-blue. His hair was dark brown. He wore a long coat with no shirt underneath. Also torn up jeans with big black boots.

"Come with me child. I promise you'll be with Fallon soon. I just need to...sign you in." He chuckled once more.

I could feel his breath peel over my face, widening my eyes. My goal was to hold my breath, but I sucked in air to do so.

My eyelids fell and I felt my body sway.

I blacked out once more in the hands of a vampire.
