Vampire Tears

The was inspired by the "House of Night Series" by P.C. and Kristin Cast. Vampire school. Two words that sum it up pretty well. The students are separated from their parents and can only see them once a month during parents night. It would kill me. See mo

My hands are shaking.

It's been a month

A very painful month.

I see my daddy first.

My heart gives a tight squeeze.

I can feel my eyes fill

He looks older.

More fragile

The strongest man I've ever known

My throat feels as if it may close up.

My mom is with him

I struggled to choke back a sob.

God I miss them so much.

They don't see me at first

Then daddy turns to see me.

I see his hazel eyes rimmed with red.

He was crying in the car.

He yells my name and they rush over to me.

Only then did I notice the army flanking them.

My brothers and sisters and their kids.

I can't hold back crying anymore.

I sob so hard my whole body shakes as daddy wraps his arms around me.

I can feel my mom stroking my hair reassuringly.

He still smells the same as he use to when I'd wake up from a nightmare

Then their room was just down the hall.

Not a long walk for a scared little girl

Now they were two hours away, just as my nightmares were getting worse

I regain myself

No need to ruin our time

It's all we have

I smile and hug and kiss everyone

They tell me stories

About the family

I'm not in these stories

That stabbs me deeper then any knife ever could

I hear the class bell

The visit is over.

The hard part starts.

I give each of them a part of my heart as I say goodbye

I don't want any of my heart left.

I watch them all cry as they leave.

I hold it in until I get back to my dorm.

I collapse on my bed and my breakdown started.

Author's Note

In the books, which are set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Vampires are out and everyone knows about them. To be "marked" is considered to be a horror among humans. When the student becomes Marked they are taken to The House of Night to live with adult Vampyres. The teenage almost Vampyres are called Fledglings. The Fledglings are legally emancipated so they can live at heir school where they are to complete their "change", well, they complete it or they die. Their classes are 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. so the parent visit is at about Midnight. While I was reading the book it got to a chapter about the Parents Visit night. It made me cry thinking how it would go with my parents.

[Mr. Lopez]

The institution of marriage is taken too lightly these days. Many believe that if it doesn't work out that there is always divorce. This kind of attitude toward something that should be a life long unity affects so many lives when taken so lightly. I admire a couple who can grow together , knowing that change is a constant and that compramise will become second nature. There is no such thing as a perfect marriage but two willing hearts can go the distance.....till death do they part. Very touching write.
