What's Happening?!

Arion
I took a shower right after I got to my penthouse suite, in the heart of Manhattan.
I looked in the mirror and examine myself. I do changed a lot physically. Then I got thirsty. I grabbed bottled water from my mini fridge in my room and drank it. I already finished the whole bottle but I'm still thirsty. My throat is still dry, like it’s the Sahara.
What the hell is happening to me?
I looked at my reflection again, and I stepped back with what I saw. My eyes are glowing yellow! I opened my mouth and saw two sharp protruding fangs! I touched them and I accidentally pricked my finger that caused it to bleed. For some reason, I find the scent of my blood, sweet like caramel frappe.
I looked at my wound and it quickly heals right in front of my eyes. I watched until it was fine without any traces or scar.
"Holy f*****g s**t!"
I breathe in and out to ease thus panic attack. I’m a freaking vampire. I am dead. I was sot. I am a vampire.
"f**k!" I exclaimed and punched the wall right beside me.
To my surprise, my fist was buried in a hole, my punch created. I pulled my hand out and stared at the damage.
"I'm screwed. "
I sent to my room and grabbed my cellphone. I called Marc to let him know that I will be gone for a day or two, and to hire someone to replace Nicole as my secretary.
After my phone call, I took a shower and put on my pajama. I lay on my bed with an arm over my eyes.
''I'm just tired and the hang over is taking a toll on my mind. I'm just hallucinating. '
I repeated it in my kind until I fell asleep.
When I woke up, the sun is still up. Did I sleep for just a minute? I looked at my digital clock on the side table. My eyes widened when I saw the time and date. It was 10 in the morning three days after I went to bed.
'What the f**k?!'
I cursed in my mind. I slept for three days. I rubbed my palms on my face and got out of bed. I went outside my room towards the kitchen. I don't know why but I'm thirsty and hungry as hell. I opened my fridge and looked for something to eat. But no such luck. My fridge is empty. Just bottles of water that I already drank half of it.
Then I heard the house phone ring. I went to the living room to pick it up, and answered it.
"Yes?"
"Arion?! Thank God you're alright! " It was my younger sister Kate.
By the sound of her voice, she seems to be frantic and relieved at the same time.
"I'm so happy that you are fine! I was so worried of you!" She said between sobs.
Great. She's crying now.
"I'm fine Katy. What is it again?" I asked her.
"I had a dream. A dream of you." She paused and sniffed.
"You got shot thrice in a dark alley. " she explained
I paused with what she said. You see, my sister often had this dreams about other people's death. And they usually happen. One was our parents' death. And now she dreamt of mine.
I sighed.
"Don't stress yourself Katy. I'm fine. Don't worry. " I assured her.
"Arion, there's more. " she whispered, and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"I saw a girl saved you. You are bonded to her. She just didn't save your life, but she gave your life. " she said.
Again I was silent.
"What else did you see?" I asked.
"Nothing else. But Arion, be careful. The girl, she'll be a part of your life. More danger will be coming your way. " she said.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. You take care of yourself. “I said.
"Okay. I'll see you soon Arion. “she said and ended the call.
I put down the phone and took a seat on the couch. It’s official. My life sucks.
My thoughts drifted towards my sister. She and I have a very tight relationship ever since we we're kids.
I became her guardian since our parents died. Now she's attending her MBA in Stanford University. I can't stop thinking about what she said. She already saw what happened to me.
I stood up and went to my office. I need to do some of my pending paper works, and to take my mind off all the things happened.
Hours have passed yet I can't concentrate on my work. Charlie constantly pops in my mind and this indescribable thirst and hunger.
I gripped my hair in frustration and I slammed my fist on the table. I abruptly got up my chair when I accidentally split my desk in two. I gaped at what happened. I looked at my hands. Then a smile crept to my face.
"This is wicked!"
I wonder what else I can do with this new found ability. The light bulb turned on as an idea popped in my mind.
From where I'm standing, I ran towards the door. And I got there in a blink of an eye. I smiled like a maniac with my new discoveries.
I'm a super human!! On second thought, I'm no longer a Human. I may deny it all the time, but i know deep inside, i know the truth. Oh well who am I complain?
