Kyrie Baptiste Dupres

[Kyrie]

My name is Kyrie Baptiste Dupres. By some astonishing occurrence, I've been turned into a vampire. Whether or not I'll ever be brave enough to release this, or whether it'd even be the right choice to do so, I want to have it written down so that it'll exist in the future. My story is not an impressive one compared to many I think, but I think I should write it down anyway. I'm just not sure I'm ready to completely explain everything, and draw attention to myself like this. I came from Louisiana, I'm a bounty hunter. I track down people that law enforcement is looking for and in return they give me a reward, sometimes I get help from others, sometimes I am the help. I was following someone up here to Harper Rock. But once I got here the trail stopped. Not because there wasn't any signs, but because there were too many. Too many strange things were happening in this place.

Everything went downhill for me the first time, well that I know of, that I was fed on. I was nearly killed and for whatever reason, whether it was something I did or something the vampire did, I didn't fully die. Instead, I was turned. We didn't really know how it happened, but it did. And neither of us really knew what to do from there. Apparently we were both new at this whole vampire thing. And I was new to its existence at all.

Since then, I've been trying very hard to survive. Instead of people I hunted down zombies mainly, it helped keep people from messing with me. Feeding was...troublesome. And I admit it's been very hard. I've had a number of problems since being turned, I got thrown out a building...twice. One of those times I ended up being out at sunrise and suffered some nasty burns. That's another thing that's awful, I can't go outside at all at daylight let alone wake up. It's awful. I discovered I can still eat and enjoy normal food, but I can't seem to get anything from it. Just the enjoyment of it. For some reason I still look pretty human aside from the whole...not being alive thing. I'm not pale or anything.

I also may have made a bit of a mistake. This really is going to sound weird so I'm going to try and not overdo it. But I was trying to talk to a woman and convince her to dance with me. I'm honestly not sure how it happened but...I ended up "enthralling" her apparently. I...well I chose to not continue that really. It hasn't happened to anyone since but it was still very frightening and morally questionable. It wasn't intentional but it still happened. I've avoided letting anyone know that that was what happened.

I've tried to obey all the new laws, not like there's much choice in the matter without causing problems for myself. But I don't really display that I'm a vampire unless I have to. I also finally ran into someone called a 'blood thief' it was a really strange experience. He didn't seem to know what he was initially either. Since then there have been others, but nothing is quite as intimidating as someone who looks like they were hit with a truck of nails suddenly heal after sucking your blood. Or maybe I just haven't been around this place long enough.

I'd honestly go back to being human if I could, being a vampire isn't awful, but there are a number of problems with it. Some of which involve soldiers and cops and the current laws about it all. What I do know is that that isn't an option, and even if it were, I feel like there'd be consequences. I'm hoping maybe one day at least I can do things I could do as a human, like walk around in daylight again. Well, that's all I can think of at the moment. Maybe I'll just keep this updated in the future. Keep recording what has been happening to me here.
