Chapter 2

~1615
small country in the middle of Europe.

Joseph Kostantin, Duke of the small country has an oldest son named Josef who is currently sixteen years of age. And since Josef is the heir he has a wife, actually his same age, all set to be married to. Her name is Carmen and she was a beautiful sight to be seen. One of the most beautiful maidens in the country. She came from on of the highest families.

At first it was an arranged marriage set by their fathers at the time of their births, but it seemed that the two of them were fated to be together for their whole lives. The two of them fell in love; it was love at first sight. Carmen was living at the Kostantin manor for about a month and the wedding is set for the beginning of fall, which was about three months away.

When Carmen moved in she brought one maid with her and the maid's name is Luscinda Quil. Luscinda had been with Carmen family ever since Carmen was born. Luscinda was more then just a maid. Carmen was an only child so Luscinda was like an older sister to her.


"Madam it is time for breakfast," Luscinda entered Carmen's bedroom to the sight of her mistress sleeping in thee middle of her huge bed.

"Ten more minutes Lucy," the sixteen year old said snuggling back into her pillow.

"But Madam Master Josef is waiting for you downstairs to eat with,"

This made Carmen sit right up in bed, her long dark hair being a tangled mess. She was currently wearing a pale pink nightgown. "What,"

"He is waiting for you in the kitchen for breakfast," Luscinda answered pulling back the blanket that was tangled in Carmen's legs.

Moving to the edge of her big bed Carmen practically had to drop down to get her feet to touch the cold floor. A shiver went up her back when she did this. Luscinda opened the heavy drapes that covered the huge bay windows in the room to let in the bright sun light in. Carmen didn't notice the wince that Luscinda had when the bright sun rays hit her face and bare arms.

"I have your bath all ready for you," Luscinda told Carmen turning away from the sunlight.

Carmen rushed through her bath not wanting to let Josef wait any longer. Carmen then made her way downstairs wearing a very simple pink dress.

"Josef," Carmen walked into the large kitchen that was located on the bottom floor of the manor. The cook and over kitchen servants were moving all around the room while Josef was just sitting at a small table for two in the back corner.

Josef turned to see Carmen and motioned for her to come over.

The two young teens ate a simple breakfast of different fruits.

Josef and Carmen then made their way outside.

The two of the spent the whole day together. Even when it was time for Josef's lessons, Carmen followed. Josef believed that he should have intelligent woman by his side. Just as Josef learned to read and write so did his wife to be. This thought to have been a bad thing by the Duke at first Josef had taught her in secret, but after awhile they were caught and the Duke even threatened to get rid of Carmen, but Josef cleared it up with a threat to not be his heir.

After the lesson of the day they were both ate dinner, but this time they were with Josef's parents in the big hall. Josef is the younger splitting image of his father. This fact was true except for the fact that Josef did have his mother's lighter hair. His mother Duchess Catherine Kostantin was a beautiful woman in her younger years. She still looked distinguished even in her old years. Josef has one older sister, Elizabeth, more commonly known as Beth by her younger brother and his younger sister Anastasia.

Carmen sat next to her future sister. While Josef sat across from he. Diner consisted of meat that Josef had caught just the other day and bread that Carmen made in the kitchen with one of the many cooks.


After dinner Josef and Carmen parted. They lived in opposite wings of the manor. Luscinda was waiting up for Carmen when she entered the large room.

"Luscinda," Carmen called for her maid when she walked into the room.

Luscinda looked up from where she was pulling down the bedding. All seemed normal to young Carmen. She enjoyed a delightful day with Josef and was just going to be happy with a good, long night sleep. But little did she know there have been missing maid and other different servants and slaves that have been going missing ever since she moved in with Lucy. Also the rat population has been down even though the rat catcher cats have grown thin.

Joseph believing that the slaves have just been running away decided to put a guard at the servant's quarters starting just the other day. Because of this Luscinda had to find someone else to eat.

"Here we go Miss," Luscinda helped Carmen out of her dress and into her white nightgown.

"That is all Lucy," Carmen dismissed her maid as she laid down in her bed.

Luscinda then left the room after taking the last lit candle with her.


Luscinda had actually been planning a little something like this for months. She knew soon someone, probably Carmen, would notice that she did not age. Luscinda hadn't been aging for about a century. She had gotten quite bored with traveling and that is how she had ended up become Carmen's maid. But, she knew that it was going on for too long and decided that she need to leave and she wasn't going to go alone.


~15 minutes later~

Luscinda opened the servant door to Carmen's room and took notice that the teenager was indeed already asleep. She then walked into the room with a small candle that she held in her hand, even though she could see the small figure curled up in the heavy blankets that covered the bed. Luscinda moved to the bed not making much noise, she didn't want to wake up anyone else in the manor. She then put the candle down on the table next to the bed. Luscinda leaned over and placed her right hand over Carmen's mouth.

Carmen woke up suddenly and tried to scream, but the strong cold hand stopped her. Luscinda put her left index finger to her lips to tell the girl to be quiet. Carmen nodded her head; she really wanted to know what her maid was doing in her room.

"What is it Lucy," Carmen asked in a whispered voice after the vampire removed her hand.

"There is nothing wrong sweetie," Luscinda replied leaning forward kissing the younger girl on the check.

"Oh okayy," Carmen gave out a moan as Luscinda kissed her all the way down to her neck.

And then back up to her ear where she whispered, "Just be quiet."

Carmen nodded her head not knowing that she was agreeing to a different new long life.

Carmen let out a little squeak as Luscinda made her way back to her neck and gave a bite. Which quickly turned into a moan as Luscinda worked her magic.

Carmen let out a whimper when Lucy broke her hold on her neck and leaned back and licked her lips of the blood of the girl. "Lucy," Carmen gasped barely able to say the word for the weakness that she was feeling from the loss of the blood that Lucy just took.

"Carmen, would you like some more," Lucy asked giving the still bleading wound a lick.

The girl gave a feeble nod with a shiver. The century old vampire then bit into her own wrist until the blood flowed.

"Drink my darling," She said putting her bleeding wrish over Carmen's open mouth.

At first Carmen just let the blood slip down her throat, but as the blood gave her strength that she had lost she grabbed her maid's arm and started to drink with a thirst that she thought would never be quenched.
