Hopeless

Introducing new characters, took me the longest to write.

Matthew stared at the moon from his bedroom window, he liked being alone, it was quiet.

 

He brushed his black hair out of his fiery red eyes. He got up and looked in the mirror in hope for change, but there was none, he was still a 345 year old with the body of an 18 year old, he hated what he was and he wished he had died years ago when he was supposed to.

He lied down on his bed and looked up at the ceiling.

His expression distant, he was lost in thought, thinking about his human years.

 

 

Though she knew Mathew preferred to be alone, Arella, a 319 year old with the appearance of 17, crept down the cryptic hall toward his room. She stopped silent at the door and pulled a strand of her long blond hair behind her ear. Bracing herself, she pulled open the door separating her from her brotherly like friend.

Matthew" She called in a whisper. "Matthew?" Arella sang again.

This time creeping up and laying her delicate fingers on his icy shoulder. He was in a trance gazing out at the moon, and Arella was worried for him.

 

Matthew sat up in bed when he heard his name, "Yes?" "Matt...are you okay?" She asked sitting down beside him, "Something feels wrong with you."He looked at Arella, "Yeah, I'm fine." He said looking down.

"...But you aren't." She sighed. "You want to die don't you. You want death yet there is so much to live for!"

Arella shook her head then turned her attention toward the window.

 

"That noise... I think it was Althea... maybe she only tripped. I swear she is SO uncoordinated." Arella laughed lightly then stood up.

 

Get better Matthew I'm going to check on her." Matthew rolled his eyes at her comment, it was nearly impossible to get better.

 

Arella paused at the door and sniffed the air. "I don't know but do you smell that? The smell... it seems to be human but is it?" Arella asked." Matthew stayed silent as Arella backed out of the door.

This chapter is your strongest yet. It starts out pretty well and it almost seems like the place you felt most comfortable. I'm thinking at this point Matthew is also a key figure and maybe the one your basing the story on. To me, it needs work, but maybe this is where your story should've started.

I don't, though, get why Arella questions whether the smell is a human or not. If she's been a vampire for over 300 years, she should know it.
