Author's Note: Heh....guess who's bored again...ME! This is about Selene's life immediately after Viktor turned her, please review, it helps me to improve my writing. Thank-you.
Disclaimer: I'm broke, I didn't create Underworld just the plot line of the story I'm about to write.
Part 1: The Turning
It was the winter of 1777, I was 17. About to be wed to a landlord's rich son. Then tragedy struck. I was asleep that night, tired from my long walk home from the village. I woke to the sound of my niece's screams. Something was in the house. I heard musket shots and ran to the front windows. I saw my father, dead, my mother too, butchered like animals. Something was coming up the stairs. I ran into my room and locked the door. The door was broken down. I saw him come in, he was tall, dressed elegantly but he was covered in blood. He approached me and he smiled at me. A sad soft smile, almost as if he was about to cry. He raised up a hand to my face, I cowered into a ball.
"Child", he said, his accent was dark and rich, English as far as I could tell, "I do not wish to hurt you."
"Then who..."
"I chased them away, your family is dead. Where are you to go now?"
"I don't know." I started to tear and I was scared, those eyes of his. Blue like the afternoon sky, yet cold as ice.
"Will you come with me? I chased what was killing your family away, please?" he reached out his hand. I thought for a moment, I could go to the landlord's son but I decided against it.
"Yes", I took his hand and he helped me up and then embraced me.
"My child, this is going to hurt, forgive me." He bent his head down to my neck and sank what I believe was his teeth into me. It stung like hell. He began to actually suck the blood out of my neck. I felt very tired. My thoughts drifted as he was doing this. Back to my family. My father, my mother, and other members of my family. I saw the sun setting across the horizon. I remebered my father warning me about Vampires. I was awakened and came back to reality. And fell into him, my arms draped across his neck.
"I am sorry but that had to be done." I let go and went to the window to see the stars, it was a clear night. I pulled down the collar of my night gown, two identical circular marks, bleeding.
"Are you a...Vampire?" I asked timidly.
"Yes. Those who attacked your family are known as Lycans. They are on the prowl again, we have been having a certain 'difficulty' in keeping them at bay lately. Come with me, before the sun rises. You are now....like me." I followed him down the stairs and onto the back of a horse. I held onto his waist and drifted off to sleep again....
