If I were her

Remember when I said I hated romance and I only had a few exceptions? Well anyone heard of Wattpad? So this book was really popular on wattpad and it was one of the first few books I ever got to read there and guess what? This writer got published and when I saw her book on the shelf, in the spur of the moment, I bought it. I still question myself to this very day why I did that. -.-

Anyway, I finally got the chance to start it and in the first few chapters of the book, I found myself questioning the girl's actions. No offense but it seems to me like almost every girl in a vampire novel is either useless, weak or uninteresting. In my opinion, I found Bella in both the novel and the movie, such a boring character.

This book about some girl who is kidnapped by a vampire prince and then tried to resist his good looks etc and eventually falls in love with him. How original. The book is really not my cup of tea (again I ask myself why did I ever buy it).

There was this part where this guy asked a really stupid question and he's really cocky. I'm already hating him. He asked "Do you lust for me?" Oh man, what kind of question is that. This girl then proceeds to say "No" (duh) and then this vamp started saying "Oh then why is your heart beating so fast and your palms are sweaty etc etc".

Then he says that he has good looks etc. (see? cocky) and that the girl was resisting his charms etc. He went on about how the girl doesn't fear him and he was going to make her fear him. Really retarded, I know.

I was already rolling my eyes at that chapter. Anyway, the vampires trapped the girl in the house because she had witness them commit a crime and they would detain her in their house forever until she decided to become one of them. So why I decided to blog about this was because I began to think of what I would do I was in her position. I swear, I am smarter than most heroines in vampire novels (self praise).

Imagine Carmen Chan being whisked away to a vampire's home because I just witness a bunch of vampires murder a bunch of people, what do I do? Being a sensible human being, I would question them about it. You can't expect me to jump to conclusions just because they're vampires, right (btw, the girl in the book accused them of murder and how those vampires were jerks etc.)?

Anyway, the girl tried to escape. What a dumb move. If I were her I wouldn't even think about escaping. We're talking about vampires here, what idiot would try to run? Everyone knows you can never outrun a vampire.

Again, I would never try to defy them. Instead, I'll try to be friends with them. Come on, being friends with vampires have its benefits. Vampires are rich, no? Since they're trying to detain you in the house forever, I thought maybe being friends with them would mean I would get to their soft side. I get to hear vampire history (who isn't interested in that) and I would definitely ask them to buy me gaming consoles to keep me company because obviously they're not going to give me a laptop or any kind of device capable of communicating with the outside world. And yes, they confiscated the girl's phone.

So apart from a laptop or phone, gaming consoles would definitely be one of the things that will kill my boredom. Oh, it'd be fun to play hide and seek in a big mansion too. They have a lot of vampires living in their mansion. Playing those human games would bound to excite them too. I wouldn't mind playing board games with a bunch of blood suckers.

Like the main character, I was given two choices. Either I stay with them forever or become one of them. I am really not keen on giving up my humanity because I really hate the taste of blood but with those two choices, I would try to negotiate on something reasonable but if it fails, I would then choose to become one of them.

Why? Because I want to go home! The mansion is cool but I would obviously be homesick so becoming one of them would solve most of my troubles and I would get my phone back so yeah. Besides I would be able to join them on hunts and I would hunt down bad guys! Talk about killing two birds with one stone. Ridding the world of crimes and filling my thirst for blood.

After I become a vampire, I'll be almost immortal then I'll head home and turn my whole family and close friends into vampires and we'll be immortal together and live the rest of our days together. What a perfect plan.

Am I the best heroine in a vampire novel or what (self praise again)? I swear, if I were to write a vampire novel, it would be like that. Minus the romance. ;)
