Please be nice this is my first time ever posting anything I originally wrote on the internet, But I would like some helpful critique on this sweatdrop biggrin And this is just the begining... there is a lot more I'm going to write to this.
A Message to those reading right now:
Your probably thinking “Great... just another vampire wanna be writing a story about them... boring... next” Wait! Don’t put this book down yet, you may just want to read on... this is going to be my story about the good points and the bad points of being a vampire... I can’t guarantee you’ll get anything out of it other then maybe a story you like, or another one to sell on e-bay for half price, at least check it out? Okay thanks. Well now that I know your going to keep reading I’ll start with this Message: If you do read on, I want you to know... this book has much more meaning then a fictional story and you may find yourself caught up in it more then you intended. Now, that being said... this is going to be a bit more then just my story as well... so if your ready... turn the page and read on.
Lesson One: Vampires are more then just fangs
I won’t bore you with the details of my early life, because frankly... it was rather boring, so I’ll start with a slightly more interesting time. I was 18, and I had an arranged marriage to a wealthy man that my parents loved, yet... I had never met him. I did want to go through with the marriage until I had met the guy at least once and spent a while with him. So, as usual it was about 10 at night and everyone in my family was asleep, I dressed in one of my less expensive dresses and snuck down the stairs and out of the house. Its not like I did anything bad, I just went to the port and watched the ships bob and watched the late night ones leave or come to the dock. I walked out onto the dock. A sailor walked past me with a crate in his arms and bumped into me and I felt myself fall, but a hand grabbed mine and yanked me back, I found myself looking into the dark brown eyes of a nicely dressed gentleman. “What’s a lady like you doing out here this time of night?” He asked quietly, helping off the dock. “I... I couldn’t sleep well, so it thought I’d get a breath of fresh air” I quickly said, moving away from him. “I see, same for myself. I’ve been a little worried lately about the woman I am going to marry, I haven’t met her yet” “Oh, I know how it is, I have an arranged marriage as well” I nodded. “Well I better head home I’ll catch cold if I stay out here.” I curtsied and walked off with a wave, I didn’t feel right talking to him, So I went home and changed back into my nightgown and went to sleep.

It was pretty cool. I liked the intro paragraph; it was pretty catchy.
You're missing several commas in the quotes. I think it really just needs some editing work (maybe fixing some odd words here and there, fixing any small errors, etc.). It's not really long enough for me to give a detailed critique sweatdrop
^^
