Chapter One

My life and death all started when human life was coming to its full potential, it was in the beginning when my life ended, and began again. I had seen 17 winters and was the most beautiful woman any of my people had ever seen; I was envied and lusted after by many. I had many lovers and even more enemies. My hair fell to my mid back and was almost black but when the sun hit it just right it would shine a brilliant brown. My eyes were murky gray, I had curves in all the right places, and I stood at about 5'6". I had yet to lose my youth and never lost a chance to use its power to help me. I would play games and tricks on others to please me and sedate my boredom. And although they could be wicked and cruel it never stopped a man from begging on his knees for me. I was sneaky and seemed to be able to blend in or hide from anyone who was looking for me; many said I was lucky for this gift that came naturally to me. I took no notice of them though, this was my game and I was always the winner, not for any ability but because I am the best. Then suddenly my life was drastically altered because of one weak, pathetic man, that I came to know as a vampire named, Clode.

When I first met Clode I only took notice of him because he was new and so very handsome. I thought I could use him in a game of jealousy I had started with my favorite man I had, but the tables turned quickly. I made friends with Clode and quickly got him to bed, I manipulated him into thinking I loved him. He wanted me to leave my village with him forever and be only his, when I refused he left me and the village, and although I was frustrated to have lost my new play toy I was glad he left so I could go back to my many other men who were waiting for me. I had let my guard down, and it was the last time I ever will, for that night he came back for me and stole me away. No matter how hard I kicked or cried he never even flinched, like he didn't even feel it. I was shocked after hours of running at speeds I didn't think anyone could possess, when he put me down gently, looked at me with that sappy look in his eyes, whispered he was sorry, and bit me! He drank from my body till there was nothing left and then gave me his blood. It was one of the few times that I had ever been truly confused. When I woke my throat burned and I found myself in the arms of Clode. I went to sit up and get away from him when I realized where I was; in the dirt, underground. I began to scream and wriggle around trying to get free of his binding grip, when he seemed to of awoken. He started to pull me upwards toward what I hoped was the surface, and thankfully it was. When we broke free I was suddenly at the first tree I saw, my back pressed against it firmly, facing Clode, I then realized that my feet had carried me here without me realizing it at the same speed that Clode was carrying me last night. Clode started to walk towards me; I was frustrated and wanted to know what was going on, so when a growl suddenly erupted from me I wasn't as surprised as I probably should have been. Clode stopped in his tracks, and just smiled at me, I almost attacked him then, it almost seemed like all these new traits were just a part of me, so I decided I needn't worry anymore about them and let them have me. So I growled and another menacing noise came from me, showing Clode that he needed to explain what he had done. So this time when he took another step toward me I let him, and he began to explain.

"I am a vampire, an eternal creature of the night, who lives off of others life force; their blood. I have been around for a few years and I had become very lonely, so when I found you and realized how much we love each other, I knew we should be together forever. So I changed you into a vampire, I am your creator, here to teach you the ways of being the creature that we are and to love you with everything I have." He said a sentence with each step.

All I could think was how badly my game with him had backfired onto me; he thought I loved him! I stood there for a moment with Clode standing directly in front of me waiting for my response. He thought I'd be surprised but would accept it because it meant I could be with him forever, how sorely mistaken he was. But on the other hand I really didn't know how to be, or how to get by as this new creature, and he did say eternal, so does that mean I get to stay this young and beautiful forever? How could I object to that, so I guess there is no real reason to be angry at him? This could be a whole new game, I could be what he wants from me until I learn enough and then take care of him, in this new mindset killing just doesn't seem like that much of an issue. So I smiled and looked up to Clode who had be patiently waiting for me like the good boy he is, and I jumped into his arms kissing him and rubbing my body against his, until he smiled back thinking I was just happy to have him. Then we had sex right there on the forest floor next to the hole where we had come to the surface only a short while ago, all night long. Adapting quickly to this new body, every move I made felt right. This is what I was meant to be; now I was complete.
