Anna Vitae
t was a warm summer night. eleven year old Anna Vitae was enoying supper with her mother and father. Her father had once been an assassin. He was telling about his journey to get revenge on the one who killed his mother. It was Anna's favorite thing to hear. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Her mother got up to answer it. Two seconds later there was a gunshot. Suddenly the house was invaded.
"Anna!" her father screamed, "hide! Quick!"
Anna was frightened. She ran to her room and locked the door. All she could hear was the sound of boots on the ground and gun shots. It went on for about ten minutes. After the men left the house, she unlocked her door and ran out to find her parents. Her father lay there on the ground, bleeding. Her mother already dead.
"Dad!" she yelled.
She ran over to him. He had been shot and stabbed in the side.
"Anna," he said softly, "here..take these.."
What he handed her shocked her. His knives. His assassin knives.
"Treat them well..don't lose them.."
Choking on her tears, she couldn't say anything. It was at that moment when he gave her the knives that she knew what to do.
She ran and got some clothes and her father's guns. Filled with rage, she set out to make sure the ones who killed her parents were found and murdered.
She searched for years. On her sixteenth birthday, however, her life changed forever. She had run into a young vampire who really captured her attention. Not knowing what he was, she allowed herself to be taken advantage of. It was when she had a searing pain in her neck that spread throughout her body that she knew she was cursed with a forever youth. But she knew she was stronger.
A week later, she found them. There were five men. All off them drunk. She led them all out to a forest, tied them to a tree, and murdered them. When done she drank their blood, and ran off. She thought that after doing away with them would satisfy her. But the urge to kill remained.
She continued to assassinate for hundreds of years, now thankful for being forever young. To this day the urge to kill still remains with sixteen year old Anna
