April 27, 1663

Last time I wrote I was thinking about moving to somewhere in Africa. Since then I have. It actually is very nice out here. I hunt when I need to and I can run anywhere I want as fast as I can, without being caught by humans. I have run into a few other vampires while out here and I noticed something different about them. Their eyes were red, unlike my golden and sometimes black eyes. I guess vampires’ eye color depends on what they feed on. When I met the other vampires they told me about this group called the Volturi, they are the “Royal Family” of the vampires. They supposedly keep the vampire laws in order, which I had no idea vampires even had laws.

One of the laws that I just figured out is the secret of our lives. If any human was to figure out about our existence then that person is to either die, or become a vampire themselves. Another is giving false information to the Volturi. That is punishable by death, and apparently the only way a vampire can die is by being torn apart and all the body parts burned. Also we are not aloud to hunt in Volterra, the city where the Volturi live.

Vampires are also not allowed to form alliances with werewolves due to Caius, a member of the Volturi, almost being killed by one. He spearheaded a movement to kill all werewolves. There are also immortal children, who are young children being turned into vampires, and they are not to be created. That also is punishable by death for the child and the creator, along with anyone trying to protect the child. These are all the laws that I know of so far. Now it is time for me to go hunt.

Until next time,
