Dearest Journal,

Today, I finally arrived in Harper Rock, and let me tell you… it is as beautiful as the pictures on the internet made it look. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it my home. Sure the people are a little odd (and by odd, I mean pale and only come out at night. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that they were vampires or something. Imagine… me a red-headed Sookie Stackhouse! HA! I wish I was half as desired and bold as she is.), but it seems like if I just keep to myself I will be fine. That is unless that lady at the desk here at the hotel gives me anymore trouble about my American money. I wonder how long I can stay here? I’ll worry about that after next week.

Dearest Journal,

Well, I’m finally home after riding the train all day. Thank God for room service! I’m starving! I ordered a sandwich and some ice cream. What a dinner! Momma would likely be telling me that it will go straight to my thighs… she’s always said that and its never happened. I miss them terribly… I wonder if I did the right things after they died or if they would be proud of me for moving. I just couldn’t stay in that house anymore… it felt like they were still there and I have to realize that they aren’t.

Dearest Journal,

I don’t have a lot of time to write today, I’m very tired. I just wanted to mention that some strange man sniffed me today on the train. Wow… these people are weird indeed! I ran off that train as fast as I could! I was TERRIFIED!!

Dearest Journal,

Believe it or not, I actually just spent almost the whole night with a strange man! His name is Elliot Lancaster, and man is he tall! He was playing a song I knew on the train with his guitar, and I accidentally started singing along. How embarrassing! Anywho… he said hello, and I actually talked to him. I wish I wasn’t so darn shy and backwards. He said he would show me around the city and we went to the library after we had a hotdog in the park. I think he thought it was silly that I just like mine plain with no ketchup or nothing, but you should have seen all of the stuff he put on his! Anyway, I digress, the library here is fantastic! Its HUGE!! AND I gave found him the first Sookie book to read. I wonder if he will like it? I think he will make a great friend.

Dearest Journal,

I know it has been a long time since I have written you, but believe me when I say that its not without a good reason. I was stupidly looking around in an abandoned building (my curiosity always seems to get the best of me), and I was sort of…. Attacked? Yea that has to be the only word for it. This man, who’s name I later found out is Niklaus, turned me into a Vampire! An evil, bloodsucking, Vampire! Can you believe it?! I don’t know how happy I am about being dead and all, but at least my life wont be boring anymore. Niklaus turned out to be very nice and very determined to take care of me, which is good because I don’t honestly know what I would have done in this big city all alone. It’s not like I’m a kid or something, I’ve just never been on my own. He keeps telling me to stop being so shy… I just don’t know any other way to be is all. But can you believe it?! Maybe instead of being like Sookie… I can be like Jessica or something! Yea right… I’m scared of my own shadow.
You should have seen the man I fed from the first time! It was like I put him under a spell and he just let me do it! Maybe he’s weird and even liked it? I don’t know, but it was scary at first until I tasted him… then it was like WOW!! I felt so alive and happy! It’s all so peculiar. I cant believe I’m saying so, but he tasted better than anything I have ever even eaten! What have I become? At least he didn’t die. That would be horrible.
Niklaus says I have a family now. It was always just me, my momma, and poppa. I have siblings now and a huge family of kind of… cousins? I wonder if I’m brave enough to meet them? Time will tell, I suppose. Well, I suppose I better close for now. Dawn is coming and I’m not supposed to be in the light.

Dearest Journal,

Yea yea yea I know its been a long time. But you would not even believe the craziness my life has turned into! I have friends now! I've never had those before, but I do like them. I really like my Jonah! He is HUGE!! He just picks up all of my stuffs for me like they dont weigh nothing! I have to drag them if I wanna move them. He's very nice too. He seems like he likes to protect me and stuff and thats good cuz my Niklaus is a very busy man. Too bad I haven't seen that Jonah for a while. I miss him so and he loves to tell me about his family and I like to listen to him. He has what they call "Childer" here and a lady of his very own. I hope to meet her someday because that Jonah says she is very nice. I dont like girls though too much. Some of them are ok, I suppose, but most of them are just dumb. Anywho... I also have that Julien. He just got his very own apartment! How exciting for him! I stopped by for a visit and gave him a games console so that he can play it when his other friends come for a visit. I think that Julien is shy like me so we get a long pretty well.

Also! I make stuff! I make lots of traps and I'm pretty good at it! I just wish more people would buy them so I can build more stuff. I kind of ran out of money. That Niklaus gave me this special phone so that I can keep track of the auctions and my bounty when I am stealing stuff. I'm pretty good at that. There aint no lock I cant pick! I dont know how I got so good at this stuff but at least I have something to do. Only problem is, I dont have much time for reading latey. I do so miss it very much, but the things I have been doing have been fun too. Matthew and I (my lime green teddy bear) went on an adventure the other day. I'm sure people think I'm crazy carrying him around, but he smells like someone very special to me. Speaking of him.... code name.... Spiderman.... (I will use codenames in case Niklaus finds my journal) I really really adore him. Sometimes I get scared because of his childer coming over all the time, but he makes it ok and less lonely. I stay with him at his house most of the time because I dont like staying in the morgue now that so many other people do too. No privacy. That and... well... I know I shouldnt admit this, but I like sleeping in his squishy bed. Especially when he is in it with me. That spiderman has me in his web, I tell you! He's very patient with me, which is good because I dont know nothin about being someones lady.

Anywho... I think that sums up most of the madness. I'll write more later.

Sincerely,
Rose Worthington
