22-year old Lucille Paradis was dying in her bed. She only had minutes left to live, as she glanced at the full moon outside her bedroom window. Everything was quiet and melancholy as Lucille knew that she was going to leave the beauty of this living world. Leave to darkness and nothing, of a grave in the ground.
But suddenly, Lucille heard the sound of creaking in her bedroom. She weakly looked about, as she could barely hold up her head.
Then she saw. A glowing figure of a man, standing there by her death bed.
"Who are you...?" Lucille said, weakly.
But the figure didn't answer. Instead, he leaned over her, pressed his teeth to her neck and instantly, Lucille felt her little bit of life being drained out of her. With every second that passed, Lucille was burning within her veins, until everything went black.
Lucille woke and found herself, walking alone in the woods. The moon was still shining, and she heard wolves in the distance.
Her heart was cold and dead. She didn't feel blood pumping, she walked with no pulse at all. "What happened...I must be dead?" Lucille thought, as she stared at the moon.
"You were dying..." she heard a steady voice say from behind her.
Lucille turned and found that the man, whom she saw before her death bed. "Who are you...?" Lucille said, as she was fearful of this man.
"Do not be afraid," he said, as he came close, "I'm Edward. I've changed you to another world. You will not die...ever..."
"What are you speaking of...?" Lucille trembled, as she backed away.
"You are now, as I am...a creature of the darkness..." Edward spoke.
"What did you do to me?!" Lucille suddenly, felt an uncontrollable rage of anger, and she grabbed Edward by his throat.
"Stop...Lucille..." Edward said, as her grip was so strong.
Lucille didn't though. She was too angry, and by the second, she became more and more angry.
"Lucille...I turned you...because I love you..." Edward tried to say.
"You turned me?!"
"You were dying...and I...I...I couldn't be alone anymore..." Edward finally admitted. He changed her, because he was alone. He was so tired of being alone, and now his loneliness consumed him.
Lucille was gifted of extreme power, as she was now changed. "What am I...?" she growled, as she whispered to Edward, and her green eyes sparkled red.
"You're a...a..." Edward tried to make out, "You're a vampire..." he finally said.
Lucille hissed, as her worse expectation was true now. "You monster!" she screamed, and she threw Edward against a tree.
Edward howled, as he was in so much pain. He had never dealt with such a strong vampire. Lucille ripped a branch off of the tree, as she began to approach him.
Edward moaned on the ground, as he tried to sit up. "I'm sorry...I just couldn't be alone anymore...I needed someone. This can work!" he tried to say.
But Lucille had nothing for him. Her heart had no love left, and she grabbed Edward by his throat, and with no force, she flung him a mile away. Then she jumped in the air, flying for the first time.
She set out to find Edward, but as she passed over the town, she smelt blood. There were humans walking around on the road.
Lucille felt a lust strike her and she swooped down, grabbing one of the humans. And with no hesitation, Lucille ate the human.
Lucille spent many years in an underground cave, as she hid from the world. She could never get the poor beings that she had killed, out of her mind, and the more she scorned herself, the more she lusted for blood.
Lucille cried and raged, as she held herself down, in the ground, and away from humans. She couldn't be that. How was she a killer? She had a soft heart when she was human, fragile and innocent.
How all the faces of the poor people that she had killed, their fright and horror rang through her memory.
"...But not anymore..." she thought. And in that moment, she decided, "I'm going to be the way I was before. I'll use my strength to fight off evil and never kill a human creature again.
And with all her determination to be good again, Lucille spent many years, training her mind to never lust for human blood. She fed off of animals as she felt thirst, and with every day that passed, she became stronger and stronger.
It was the year of 2015. Lucille had spent 122 years saving people from danger, and never being a harmful creature again.
Lucille sat in a tree and watched, as a boy walked through the woods. He had dark red hair with sun bleached gold streaks through his long messy locks. His skin was fair and his eyes were blue, and his curious, youthful, mind looked about as the woods were peaceful and wondrous to him as he walked along.
Lucille stared intently at him. His eyes were the most beautiful she had ever seen. She watched and watched, as she followed, silently and unnoticed by the boy.
But suddenly, Lucille heard something in the woods. It was two miles away, and it was headed, in the near future, to the boy that was walking alone.
Lucille saw in her mind, as a large bear would come and tear the boy into pieces, and with that, Lucille flew off into the direction of the danger.
Sure enough, two miles away, Lucille found a grizzly bear walking along the river bank. Her eyes turned red as she grew fangs and she pummeled the bear, drinking it's life out.
The bear lay dead and harmless, as now Lucille saved another life. She was a gardian to all, and when she was near, no one could fear.
Lucille flew back to the forest that the boy she saw was still wandering in. She found that he was sitting by the brook, still alone, and listening to the stream go by.
Lucille smiled, with fascination as she could feel, almost as if she were right beside him, the warmth of his blood, flowing through his body.
Lucille climbed down from the tree, and crept up behind the boy. She was so close now that she could almost touch him. And it had been so long since she had talked and communed with a human, that for a moment, she didn't know what to do.
"Why am I even doing this...?" she thought, "something bad might happen..."
But before she could decide any farther, the boy turned and saw. He jolted a little, startled, but then smiled at her. "Hi, there..." he said, a little confused as he didn't hear her approach him.
"Oh..." Lucille sighed, as she felt like she had entered paradise, looking into his wondrous blue eyes.
"Are you okay...?" the boy asked, as he grew a little concerned, "are you lost?"
"No..." Lucille said, soundly, as she still stared at his eyes. His were so innocent, so pure. They were fresh and with love, as that was what he was. A creature that still could feel love.
And Lucille felt even sadness, and loneliness, as his rosey skin of his cheeks were bright and alive, because they still pumped blood.
"Well...do you need help...?" the boy interrupted her thoughts, as he was still slightly confusing. Lucille was a bit strange to him, as she stared and stared.
"Oh...I'm sorry..." Lucille said, "I was just looking at your rosey cheeks," she admitted.
"Oh...?" the boy said, still curiously.
"I think they're wonderful," Lucille said, still staring.
"Well..." the boy was even more confused now, "well thank you..."
"I'm sorry," Lucille said, as she stood, feeling awkward now. "I should introduce myself. I'm Lucille Paradis," she said.
"Oh, Lucille..." the boy smiled, "nice to meet you. I'm Kurtas Conner. Some call me Kurt."
"Well...Kurtas...or Kurt..." Lucille smiled, nervously, "it was a pleasure to meet you."
"Where did you come from?" Kurtas asked, as he was still curious of this individual.
"Oh..." Lucille said, not really knowing what to say, "I came from...just...around..." she said. She didn't really ever have a place that she lived. She would live everywhere to be precise. "Do you like the woods?" she asked, Kurt, changing the subject.
"I do. I come here a lot, just to relax, most of the time...and to give my mom a break," he laughed.
Lucille's heart, that had been down for over 100 years, now filled with happiness, as his laugh rang through her ears. It had been so long, she was alone, in the darkness, in sadness and with no light.
Kurt's laugh sounded like music and his face was angelic, as it shone with light and purity.
"But other than that," Kurt continued, "I just love to come here. It gives me time to think. How about you? Do you come here a lot? I've never seen you."
Just at that moment, the wind blew, slightly. It flew across Kurt, blowing his hair and causing his sent to cross over Lucille. Lucille's eyes opened wide, as she smelled his sent. Suddenly, all of her world went dark, and she gazed at Kurt, lusting him with nothing to be said.
She wanted to tear him to pieces, and suck his blood that blushed his rosey skin.
"Lucille...are you okay...?" Kurt asked, as he could see something was wrong, and he even stepped closer.
Lucille covered her mouth, as she turned her face. "No...stop!" she screamed.
Kurt stopped in his tracks, and looked on, very bewildered. "I'm sorry..." he said.
"No...no...just, go!" she yelled, and she ran away.
"Wait!" Lucille heard Kurt call after her, "What's wrong?!"
But Lucille never looked back. She continued to run and run, till she came to a large tree that which she climbed to the very top.
Lucille sat on the highest branch and sobbed. She was seconds away from puncturing Kurt's perfect body and turning him into her tasty meal.
"Oh...Kurtas..." Lucille sobbed, as she couldn't bare to think of him...dead. And dead because she would have killed him. She cried for a very long while, as she watched the moon lift high in the sky, as night fell. Night. The only thing she knew. And here it was again. She was left in the darkness, with only the light of the moon. And the wolves howled, as she stayed, for hours and hours.
