The World According to LaTaeya

               Everyone knows that the supernatural community is crawling with hundreds of various races of creatures.  All of them unique in their own way but the truth is, the most popular consists of the Vampire and Werewolf.  If this world actually had those type of creatures in it, which one would you rather be?  So many people already would trade places to be one of them in a heartbeat without truly examining their way of life and consider the costs of such a transition.  I too would want to be one, but which is the real question.  We all have a pretty decent knowledge of both races through various literature, and other forms of entertainment such as movies and even music.  Our society has created this attractive world where they both dwell and shaped it in such a way where all we desire in our dreams is to be someone and thing else. 

            Lets start with the luscious Vampire.  He or she is an immortal being, (pretty much immortal)  Forever young, beautiful, sexy, dangerous, interesting and most definitely intelligent.  The abilities they demonstrate are superhuman.  They have the opportunity to do what they will and learn lifetimes of information from traveling the world.  The are dark and mysterious, convincingly erotic and extremely sexual.  Everyone wants to be this.  The modern world is obsessed with looking young and staying young.  Everyone knows someone who has had plastic surgery or some type of cosmetic enhancement, even Botox or  even your self considered it.  I thought about it a few times but never made that call to make an appointment.   Smile!  There are lots of people who join groups and go on excursions for adventure and danger.  Some of us, create characters and act out roles to be that dangerous vampire.  Some of us also have to take pills to enhance our libido. Natural death and disease no longer haunts you  Think about how your life would be once you were turned.  Would it be all fun and games? 

            I can answer that.  First if you made the choice to be a Vampire, did you even realize that you have to give up sun light.  The sun will be become a deadly enemy to you.  You will fear wood, peering over your shoulder watching out for anyone that has a grudge against you that wants to drive a stake into your heart.  Ladies forget about those pure silver ear rings.   Toss them away.   You are now a Blood drinker.  Can you even stand the sight of blood?  Do you think you could drink it without gagging?  Your body can no longer handle solid foods.  Living in a society that practically worships burgers , fries and fine dining the life of  the Vampire is not always what it seems.  Let’s not even think about your blood lust and deadly intentions.  Every Vampire has it in their genetic make up.  The blood of humans will make a Vampire do just about anything.   How could you handle having killed for your blood lust?   Giving up your family may be the most difficult part.  There is no way you can live with them and be a member of the undead.  The thirst for blood is always a risk for them.

          Now the Protective Werewolf, having two forms has its advantages.  Whether human or wolf, he or she is, fast, strong, determined, intense, and very charming.  They have the opportunity to lead normal lives, start and maintain families and social relationships.  They are not limited with the interactions of the outside world.   They do not have to give up or sacrifice anything.  These hot-blooded creatures are very sexy, and more relatable.  Overall they can lead a very normal life.  They have the power to change at will, but for the most part the shifts happen automatically when the moon is full.  They love to run and packs and are in tune with the elements of nature.  Not bad.

        So after much consideration and thought, living for a little over thirty years,getting married, moving out, having a career, growing up “IS” hard to do.   The challenges of life, and the threats of disease and death are all around us.  With age comes both and I have to admit that those things frighten me terribly.   The life of the wolf is tempting and desired but  I would choose to live the life of the Vampire, despite the sacrifices I would have to make I would turn my family and we would live as immortals walking the earth as creatures of the night.

PS.  We would not be killers.  Hopefully the market would produce a substance like “TrueBlood”

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
