Welcome To Violet Valley
Night falls and I awaken. Ten years ago, I was alive. I was human. Now? I’m a Vampire. My name is Violet Batt and this is a continuation of my absolutely batty life.
Okay, so, last I left off…hmmm… Oh yes, I told you guys of how David and I found Violet Valley. Yes, the valley is named after me. Those of you who weren’t here when I wrote my first journal, I recommend you go check it out first. That’s the one I titled ‘My Appsalootly Batty Life’.
I’m 20 years old, which is honestly kind of nuts. I slept for 10 years after David drank all my blood so I never got to experience the later half of my childhood. Well, as David puts it, I get to live my childhood forever, but I also get to do adult stuff. Who doesn’t love waking up and going to work? Ugh…
Hang on, hang on… Let me get off the cave wall and give you a tour. (It’s beautiful, trust me. You’ll want to see it all.) The sun has set anyhow. One important thing to note about being a Vampire. I can only be up at night or else I will get severely burnt and possibly even die.
(I climb down from the cave wall) Welcome to Violet Valley! We have tons of lush green grass as you can see… Wait, journals don’t have eyes, please pretend you can see what I’m showing off… (I would appreciate it)
To one end of the valley, we have a dense forest! That’s where David killed me and my friends. He says he killed us so he wouldn’t have to live an eternity alone. (An eternity definitely is a loooooooong time!) A bit selfish, but, honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The rest of the valley is surrounded by towering mountains! One of the mountains has a really cool waterfall. We love that waterfall. Despite a lack of sunlight, the waterfall pours a curtain of rainbow colored water.
No, it’s not oil slick, either. The water is clean and drinkable here. The water flows crystal clear once it hits the river. The river winds its way through the valley.
Oh, oh, and over here? We have an entire orchard of edible fruit trees! I love the orchard! The apples are absolutely the sweetest, most crisp apples I have ever eaten.
A few of the others agree with me. Oh, right, you may not know who the others are. So there’s me (Violet Batt) and David Batt, right? My twin brother, Voice (he doesn’t speak much) lives here with us as well.
Next are the twins, Ashley and Austie Marlow. Ashley is very hyperactive and inquisitive. Austie is a bit more mellow and confident. Next are the twins, Becky and Boston Martel.
Becky is a creative genius. Boston is the brains of our clan. Then there are the twins, Cassy and Christafur! Cassy is my biggest rival, but I love her like a sister.
Christafur…well… He’s afraid of everything. I think he’s even afraid of himself. Cassy constantly has to fish him out of tricky situations. Sometimes I wonder how he has survived this long…probably helps that we are technically immortal now.
That means most things can’t kill us! We could live thousands of years if we just avoid a few critical things. Those things include garlic, sunlight, and wooden stakes to the heart. (Oh, David is approaching!)
“Hey, Violet! What are you writing this time?” David asks, glancing at my journal. “Wait, are you writing what I’m saying at this very moment.”
“Yes, yes I am,” I reply, writing that down as well.
“And this?” David asks.
“Yyyyep,” I reply, twirling my pencil.
“Write this down,” David says and farts in my face before running off laughing.
“DAAAAAAVIIIDDDD!” I screech, nearly throwing my journal at David in my rage.
“You sure you wanna marry that guy?” Voice whispers behind me.
“I love him, but I just wish he would stop farting on me,” I say with a sigh.
“I can go beat him up,” Voice whispers.
“No, thanks,” I say. “Wedding is tomorrow, by the way!”
“Right…” Voice whispers and slinks away.
Where did I leave off? (Ugh, the smell is still lingering…) Oh yeah… I mostly eat fruit, but the others tend to eat a lot of bugs.
I gag at the thought of eating bugs. Like, if you bite into it and its guts burst like a fruit juice filled gummy snack? Ugh! I can’t stand it!
Now, David… I gotta keep an eye on that guy. He likes human blood. He was able to drink EIGHT human children’s blood in one night! He is a threat to society. An adorable threat. Gosh dang it…he’s lucky he’s cute…
“AAAAHHHHHHHHH!” Christafur screeches, running around in the field.
He’s being chased by a moth. A little tiny moth. I can barely even tell it’s a moth that’s how tiny it is! I watch in amusement as Christafur falls into the river.
“CHRISTAFUR!” Cassy screeches and runs to retrieve her brother.
Almost all of us have jobs. After all, SOMEONE has to be in charge of maintaining our Vampire paradise. (Think if it like living in a vacation resort…) The only one who lacks a job is Christafur. He’s afraid of working.
I don’t mean to bore you. I probably already did that. In brief, I tend to the orchard with Ashley. David keeps robbing the local gas station store of food. (I told him stealing is wrong and he said. “So is murder, but I did that already, too.”)
Becky is on design duty and has been trying to design a store house for us. That way we don’t have to waste so much uneaten fruit. Cassy and Voice are on security duty. They are making sure the humans don’t discover us.
Boston and Austie are on groundskeeping. They keep the grass from getting too tall. They also clear out dry and dead plants to prevent fires. On dry days, they water the grass with river water. How’s that for an introduction? I think I may have blabbed too long…
