Jasper's life

Chapter 1: the start and the change

I was a respected person in the military I followed orders as well as I gave them which got me to high places. I was assigned in Galveston in charge of helping the women and children out of the cities and villages to safety while the war was on. I was on my horse at the back of the crowed making sure we didn't lose anyone.

We had finally gotten everyone to the camp and I was making sure that all was well, when in the distance I could see three figures in the distance I had no idea how they had been left behind but seeing as I was about to ride back into Galveston anyway I decided to help them on their way. I rode out to them and unmounted my horse to greet them and make sure they were ok.

"Hello good sir" one of the three girls that stood in front of me they were so beautiful so delicate, but something was wrong very wrong. Their very presents made the hair on the back of his neck stand on ends, and yet I could not turn away because I thought that they were my duty.

"Hello ma'am" I replied politely "what is your name sir?" she asked smiling at me with red eyes that sent chills down my spine "Major Jasper Ma'am" I said just barely keeping my voice from showing my fear.

"I think I like him" said one of the three girls "I think I agree with you, but the question remains who will do it?'' one of the other two said to the first girl "I will Nettie, I won't kill him, I promise'' the last girl smiled to the one called Nettie."Ok Maria" she nodded

I stood there confused. What did they mean? Before I knew it Nettie and one of the girls who name was still unknown where gone. Maria stood in front of me smiling "This will hurt just a bit Major Jasper'' she smirked

I took a step back and she lunged at me pinning me to the ground. My feeble struggles did nothing to her iron grip. I tried to yell for help but she put her ice cold pale hand over my mouth. She pushed my head to the side so I was looking away from her. She licked the column of my neck and giggled.

She bit into my neck I felt her teeth sink into my flesh. It hurt the pain started to spread. My screams muffled by her hand. It felt like hot lava was in my veins, my body arched in pain my breath faltered catching in my throat. I felt her pull back, but the pain continued to spread getting worse. She stood up but before I could scream darkness took me.

I woke up in a small dark room, I don't know how long I was out but I still hurt so much I started to scream and my body arching and thrashing unwillingly. "PLEASE MAKE IT STOP" I yelled over and over again begging for it to end but no one seemed hear my pitiful shrieks for mercy.

After a few days the pain started to recede staring from my fingers and toes slowly working its way back to my chest till only my heart felt like it was on fire. My heart thudded inside my chest getting faster and faster my breath becoming erratic along with my pulse and then my heart gave out but I didn't die like I was supposed to. I blacked out for what seemed like a second, I reopened my eyes to see Maria.
