Disclaimer: I own nothing but my cat, and the accidents she gets into take up all my money, so ther's no point in suing. Hah.
What I was… it doesn't matter anymore. I know… it doesn't matter.
I am myself. What I am… I suppose you would call me a vampire. A creature of darkness, set to serve evil. The devil's spy. Except I'm not. Oh, by far I'm not.
Too many years ago, to think of, I was human. I was like you… just like you.
I was a scout for the Elders, the council of my village. Before I Awoke. Then they used me as a weapon, and in return for my use they didn't kill me. Not that they could anyway. Lucky for them, I was just a child. I delighted in the power, the strength within me. And I was foolish. Who isn't? Some take to killing and murder like a duck to water, others… they regret or they simply just hate it.
The taste of blood and the scent of fear. For me that was a vampire. The matter of humans using me - was only a small detail, one I found amusing. Weakling humans… searching for power, I fell nicely into their structured world. Don't look away child, just because I smile. I know you forget what I am. I know, but you must always watch. Someday your forgetfulness will be the death of you.
My duty was set, to observe the pitiful creatures grow old. I found it Just, since I stayed young. Sometimes, I saw the women look at me, envying my looks. I would not wrinkle, or turn grey. A bittersweet justice it seemed to my childish mind.
They scared their children into behaving. Be good they said, be good or, the demon spawn will eat you! As time passed, rumours and fear spread. If I walked down the street looks of terror would cross people's faces, children were rushed indoors. Be good, or the demon will eat you alive, and you shall never go to heaven. Little, pathetic fools, I will never even see heaven's gates.
Newer leaders sought to bind me – more completely than the first one had. A few succeeded, but I fast grew to know their tricks. I'm no idiot.
I watched the centuries pass. So slowly, sometimes I wondered if standing in sunlight would solve everything.
In a way, I was unique. Working for humans. Some would consider that pathetic in itself, but I had stopped caring. Now the race of my people has almost vanished. Thus the reason I watch you now. You've had your questions answered, so go to sleep… or I really will bite you.
