This is the first five chapters of my first novel in "Mortal Trilogy" aptly named : "Mortal." What am I? I mean I know what a vampire is. A vampire drinks blood. But a vampire is immortal. I certainly am not immortal. Am I just a killer? Am I a serial murderer? That can't be. I crave the blood. And sometimes I even need the blood. So what does this make me? I didn't ask for the craving, but it is there. I didn't ask to be this mortal who needs blood like a vampire in a storybook. Maybe this is what a vampire really is, someone like me. Maybe a vampire is only a mortal with an unnatural need to feed on the blood of humans. And how do I deal with this now? Do I continue to be a cold blooded killer? Or do I kill people who deserve to die? God knows there is no shortage of those in the world. Take a journey with me, from mortal to immortal. Maybe you can decide if she is a monster, or just a being different than most.
