Trigun Fan Fiction ❯ Fallen Angels ❯ forgotten past ( Chapter 1 )

The year is 1800 and it is an icy winter's night. Lighting flashes through the pitch dark sky, and thunder roars giving the illusion that a thousand lions are roaring at the same time. Far away from humanity in an ancient castle where no mere human dares to enter an important event is taking place. Inside a large white room candles are burning brightly so that all can be seen. The entire castle is covered in dust and the smell of death

reeks inside its cold stone walls. Inside the large room a wedding ceremony is taking place. The bride has platinum colored hair, blood red lips, steel grey eyes, and angelic white wings. Her beauty is more then that of the legendary Helen of Troy. She is wearing a long silk white dress that is highlighting her beautiful figure in the moonlight. Her dress cuts off at her shoulders and goes straight down to her hands where it becomes narrow and pointed ending at her fingertips. She is wearing glass slippers that shine when the moonlight hits them. This magnificent creature is the angel queen of the hidden kingdom Oceania. She is Sonia de Winter.

The groom has shoulder raven colored hair, pale skin, ruby colored eyes, pale lips, and a well-formed body of a man. He is wearing onyx dark pants that seem to disappear with the midnight sky, and a long sleeved shirt that has a large ruby on the collar. He is the fearful and legendary Count Dracula and the wedding is taking place in his castle, Castlevania. A passionate deep kiss finishes the ceremony for they are husband and wife now.

Around the length of two winters has passed since the wedding took place and now Sonia is the mother of three very beautiful girls. But although the girls are barely a year of age their bodies represent them as beautiful 15 year olds because of their inhuman genes. Natalie, the first born has long golden hair that touches her back and dark purple eyes that seem to search for something into your soul. Roxana, the second born is an exact duplicate of her mother except she has sky blue eyes. Meryl, the third born is the perfect blend of both parents with her mother's eyes and her father's raven colored hair. Sonia loves her daughters deeply while Dracula only cares for them and their hidden powers.

It is a cold night and when the wind bellows by it seems to try and whisper forbidden secrets in your ear. But it is hard to catch the wind's voice as a large mob of vampire hunters tear down the huge castle's gates and bring havoc with them. While the last man is leaving the burning Castlevania he sees Meryl standing alone in the woods. She gapes in disbelief at the sight and starts crying tears of hate and sorrow which run slowly down her beautiful face. Her long black dress is floating in the air untamed by any human hand. The man suddenly feels a strong desire to have his way with her any way

He can.

The sound his footsteps make as he gets closer to her are lost to her ears and she does not notice him in her despair. Seeing him she starts to run but he stretches his long, strong arms and grabs her. Fear starts to take over her and sweat starts to run down her forehead. Her tears of sorrow and hatred now are changing to tears of fear and self pity. She is staring into his dark brown eyes with horror meanwhile he is ripping her cloths off. She is screaming so loud for someone to help her that her lungs feel like they are on fire but everyone who is hearing her pleads for help ignores them. A horrible pain goes through her lower body as if someone is ripping her inside out. Losing her self to pain she faints listening to her rapper talking to her in gasps "your long hair and skin is as soft as a baby's skin. And oh god it feels so good being inside of you!"

The sun hurts her eyes as she slowly opens them. She finds herself alone laying on the ground naked, her dress a few feet away from her and a puddle of dry blood underneath her. An image of her family flashes through her mind but the though is too painful for her so she sets it aside. Slowly with trembling hands she puts on her dress and starts walking through the dark forest with all her remaining strength.

A few days have passed since Meryl started wondering and the sun is burning on her skin as she slowly walks through a small, uncaring, crowed town. Silently she lays down by a lonely corner on the hot ground, closes her eyes, and tries to forget. All the people that pass her look at her with eyes full of hatred. When night came a group of drunken men walk up to her and the leader speaks with a mocking happy tone "Well little lady I bet you that when you woke up this morning you didn't think that you would have the pleasure of our company tonight." Looking into their eyes Meryl knew what they wanted since she recognized that hunger look in their eyes. "Please leave me alone I beg of you." The tired voice of Meryl said with an effort and a pleading tone. Laughing at her they took hold of her and carried her to a hotel.

When the sun came up she found her self in an alley and her dress was on her but it looks like a rag now. Meryl stayed there since her body didn't have energy to move and the sun was making her weaker. That night the town's people gather and came to the conclusion that for them to be happy (especially the jealous woman) they have to kill her.

Her head slowly rises up and she sees with her now empty and hopeless grey eyes the multitude of people gathering around her. They grab her arms and drag her outside the town. She is slowly opening her eyes while her body is still hanging. Her eyes now blood thirsty red look at the night sky and then at a pair of jungle green eyes that are staring at her. The jungle green eyes belong to a boy that looks about her appearing age. He was white short untamed hair, and pale lips that match his skin color. Gracefully and slowly he walks behind her and unties the rope. She lands on the ground without making a sound and asks him "Your scent, your not human is that why you helped?" Grabbing her hand he tells her "you're right I'm not a human I am a vampire just like you, though your different I can sense it. But I don't care because I just want to be your friend." "I would like that a lot and I even know the perfect place to feast tonight" Meryl said with an evil smile while looking towards the town.
