Vampire heart:chapter one. Painful past.

Dark sweeping skys above and his hand in mine. I felt no warmth.
Stars shone bright above us as we walked through vast empty fields
lit with the moons pale glow. Dead tree branches danced over our heads
in contrast with the smokey faded sky. I was unsure, of myself,of my choice
to leave my safe home and leave with my new found love. Thats what
i had wanted was love, someone to care and he did. someone who cared
was a very rare find. But this is not the begining.

They were killing me. The real me. I had never been a perfect daughter
so they were constantly trying to alter me and my ways. I was helena. Named after the bride of a vampire helena alexandrea. I was thick grey stone
and they were acid, breaking me down. They cared only for the public
appearance. They were so afraid that i would shame them. Ruin the
family name. It seemed to me that they should love me if they tried so
hard to make me the same, but they dident.Not once had compassion or pride glimmered in there eyes They loved their money and their reputation. I was helena, fasinated with the things that others feared. Thus my story begains.

The "vampire plague" was spreading fast in europe as were peoples concern
and ignorance toward them, the vampires.I sat by my window, the only beam
of light in my life and watched the smoke rize. Men were burning villages where
vampires were thought to be thriveing. I prayed that no such trouble would befall
our town.

Once in church the priest had told tales of vampires, human like demons
that consumed the blood of mortals, defeated by anything pure, but growing
stronger through the darkness and hate. This brought to my attention a new
fasination. Vampires. The priest told of how they were heartless monsters
who sold there souls for extreme strength, dexterity,and immortality.
Of how they seem to be able to control wild animals such as bats,crows,and
wolves. Of there tainted blood that urged then to kill and nothing more of
how they were abomination and were terribly dangerous.

I woke one morning to my mothers shrill commands. "Get dressed for church we
have a meeting today concerning the war" I knew that it was no normal war it was
a war with immortals. vampires.such misunderstood beings. I know such now
that i have suffered a simular fate. But that will be soon to come. As we walked i
was alone, my parents stayed as far away from me as possible. They were ashamed
because my father, alvidor, had adopted me so i had no real familey. I knew no
familey but i found one. The ones that you think are so savage and wrong, sometimes
they care for you the most.

The priest said the hate in our town was atracting the vampires and that
our streets and homes and children should be purefied as soon as possible.
I knew that they were overreacting. Vampires to me did not sound menacing
at all but fasinating. Immortal beings that consumed blood.human blood.
What was so wrong. We "mortals" consumed animals such as cows,chickens,and
pigs. How was it that the consumtion of human blood was so cruel. Everything
could feel. And vampires dont kill the victim.

The preist had continued his speech. When one is bitten by a vampire the
results are not always fatal. The victim, if lucky will be able to escape alive
but will have to bear the memory passed through from the vampire to the human.
Every night, when darkness falls and the stars shine bright above they will shut there eyes to rest and also they will have to view the terrible scenes of shocked victims like
themselves being drained. If one is killed however they will awaken...as a vampire.
The whole church gasped loudly. I did not. The vampires what was so wrong with
them, i thought once more. The gift of immortality was not a curse. I had thought it
then.

A boy said to be the desendant of vampires lived outside of our town in a thin dead
forest. The members of the church were planning to bless the ground and murder
the family. The boys name was kraig voss and his father was siaten voss. Kraig's
mother was victoria voss many other vampires lived in the mansion at least sixteen of them other kids used to tell storys about them in school.They were going to run the vampires out of the house just as the sun was rising and let them burn to death. These plans angered me. for it was unholy to kill these people they were the heartless ones. Kill something because you dont understand it. I knew i had to stop it."you.." i stammered. "you say such things about these beings you call vampires but do you understand them.
you plan to slaughter a family that you know nothing about only that they are the said decendants of vampires" my parents leaped up in frustraition.

"please father, she is ill i do belive or posessed some spector, please spare her" my mother pleaded. The whole church looked shocked but the priest looked angered. "you dare question my judgement child i am doing this for pathetic
people such as yourself the voss familey will be eliminated it is past your judgement"
My parents had stared down at me, with hate and some other emotion i identifyed instantly. Shame. I had seen that more than once. More than i had seen love in there eyes or in there hearts. Prehaps they are the vampires.

later that night after my mother had bedded down i slipped out my window into the
darkining sky. My father was still at the church prepareing for the raid apon the voss
familey. I ran barefoot across the moist earth, running with all my heart till i reached
the slinder jagged forest in which there house was built. Fear had taken effect. I did not
know these people. I had never seen any of them not even once. What would they do
to me even if my invasion of there territory was only to warn them of the churches plans
would they understand. I stood frozen and shaken for two long minutes till i thought to
myself. What the priest had said even if the vampires did attack me the results would not
be entirely fatal. He had said something about dreams and waking back up. I struggled to
remember what he had said as i approched the large rusting gate in front of their massive
house.

The stone path leading to the decaying front door of their house. Moss clung to the steps
there were at least fifty steps leading to their porch which was completely shaded.
I took a few more agonizeing steps until i reached the top. I stood completely still in
front of the door in silence and fear and just as i slowly reached my shaking had out to
knock the door swung open and a cold pale had grabbed me and thrust me into the
darkness beyond the door frame. I opened my mouth to scream. "silence" a smooth,
beautiful voice snapped. I obeyed. It was a girl. She looked directly at me and my heart
raced. I swore i heard it beating. A sound that a clock makes when eveloped in cotton.
Soft, sudden,sharp,steady,constant, were all words that described it. Was i about to lose all that? "is that so..." she said steady and sure. I did not reply because i did not know what she exspected.

"look, i will not hurt you, you are spared for now, thank you for the information." huh what had i said. She stood in front of me her hand still gripped around my arm. She was so cold.
"oh,your in shock. I suppose you know who i am, what i am. Vampires can read minds and i would like to thank you. You are not like a normal mortal yet i sense that you are no vampire either" she looked at me as if expecting an answer. I warely opened my mouth to speak but stopped when i heard footsteps nearing me. "kraig" the girl..,vampire said.
"what is this" the voice questioned, a deep, soft,mysterious voice. I began to feel dizzy
and then i felt myself falling toward the sky, or was it the floor. I hit hard and tasted blood
in my mouth. Salty and thick. Nausea set in and after that, I heard low talking but not from kraig or the girl, from outside. Bright yellow and orange shadows danced on the wall.

It seemed to revive me. The busting glass and the intense heat. The vampire hunters had arrived. "get the girl, helena" the female vampire yelled to kraig." and get father hurry kraig" "ok virgil" he replied. I felt my body being lifted up and pressed against a cold strong body. I dident look up i only burried my face in his unbeating chest. No heartbeat. I felt myself moving quickly but where to.I closed my eyes and listened to screams. Screams. Kraig came to a halt and i lifted my head. We were in a darkened forest. A large orange flame rose over the trees and i smelt deep, thick, smoke.
"noooooo" A yell so deep and loud and pained escaped kraig. If vampires dont have a heart then how can they love. "virgil" he yelled as we speed throught the trees. We reached the clearing after about ten minutes of running and found a scorched pile of ash and bricks.

Kraig lowered me to the ground and i stood on shakey knees. He cried silently and without tears. such sorrow and now he was alone. To walk a lonely road alone. A road with no sure destinaton. Burned alive. I looked up at the fadeing darkness. Wouldent kraig be burned to death by the sunlight. Thats what the original plan had been to destroy the vampires.
Kraig still stood in the same spot. "..im...im so sorry th-.. that your alone now" I said to him. He looked at me. His pupils were liquid coals. Black and blank, but sad all the same
I could not help but feel responsible. If i had not come to warn them he would have perished to and would not suffer now.It was my job to stay with him and comfort him,
so he would not be alone. How could me, a mortal, stay with a vampire. It was my doing it was always helenas fault. I would have to become a vampire.

One glance confirmed my request. Kraig looked shocked. "are you sure". OOPs i had forgotten that vampires could read minds."wha- what" i said though i knew exactly what he was saying. Where do i go from here i wondered. It was decided. I had known this PERSON
for only about thirty minutes but i had already decided to live the rest of my life with him.
I nodded and he walked slowly over to me. Wrapping me in a cold embrace. Love. It was there. I knew this even as his fangs sank into my throat and warm blood flowed out turning cold. As did I.Then what came after to put it bluntly was black. Black like a beautiful rose. The most beautiful rose in the garden because it knew love. The others knew only lust and pride. But the black rose had made the sacrafice. The red would soon fade to black and then maybe understand.

My path had been set. It was time to walk it, by now my feet were already sore.
But again dark sweeping skys above and my hand in his. All he had to do was lead.
My heart had found love at last, My vampire heart had found love.
