Untill Then...

Chapter 2: Her Past

Lie, awake
and Watching you run through my head
I'm alone again
but not for long my friend

"So Marceline, how did you get into this trouble in the first place?," I asked her. If I haven't seen a vampire before, why would this one be in so much trouble? Shouldn't they be masters of disguise or something?

"I was born," Marceline said, "but I wasn't always a vampire. I've even overheard my dad say that I was an accident..."

"That explains the bite marks on your neck," I said.

"Yeah, about those..." Marceline put a hand over her neck. She stared at the floor in silence, with a frown on her face, like she was lost in a bad memory. "My father is a demon. Demon lord actually. We lived in a demon realm called the Nightosphere. My mother was human like the rest of you. Naturally, a demon isn't a very good dad. So when my mom broke up with him and left him when I was five, my dad was caught in depression. He abandoned me in the forest. A camper in the woods saw my dad open the portal, and came to see what was going on. He called the police, and I was taken in with them. They put me in a glass cage; for 14 years. I was a secret file. I was mistreated, and abused. They'd make fun of me, and treat me like a freak. I tried to impress them with my powers to see if they'd find mercy, and let me go. But that just made things worse ," Marceline said.

"Apparently, a group of vampires heard about me. They broke me out one night. It turns out they were the vampire council. They said that their king had been killed by the same police department that held me hostage. They broke into the sheriff's office and looked through their files. They found my file, and formed a plan to break me out. They promised to protect me with their lives, but only if I agreed to be turned like them, and if I agreed to be their queen. I agreed, and they did protect me well, but I didn't know what hell I got into."

"They moved me to the south; where they had a small vampire village. It wasn't even half the size of a small town, but the council said that it was the largest group of vampires in the United States. There were about 200 residents there, including me. I made good friends there, and everyone treated me with good respect, but not how you'd think they'd treat the queen of England. I lived there peacefully for 300 years or so, then the air force saw our little village. They started spying on us, and soon realized our weird powers and behaviors. We were raided one fateful day. Most of the vampires died there; because of their lac of medical help, and their disability to catch food. The council protected me from the raid, and led me to a safe place to escape."

"I returned the next day when the raid was over, to see the village in pieces. I was torn. This is the only real home I've ever known. I looked around to see my people dead, suffering, or confused. I felt horrible. I couldn't help but feel like the raid was my fault. But I wasn't the only one who survived. Two of five council members were unharmed. And a vampire around my vampire age and his two younger sisters survived. The rest died in about two weeks."

"The other vampire's name was Malcolm. His two sisters were six in vampire years. Their names were Ruby and Alexis. The two council member's names were Fredrick and Carlton. The six of us became close. We stayed around the broken village for three weeks, then we started a traveling camp around America; to escape the government's watchful eyes. Fredrick even thought we should move to Transylvania, but we all agreed that it was too dangerous."

"Malcolm was a nice guy. He had dark brown hair and amber eyes. He was around 6 feet tall. He was a vampire I didn't really notice in the village, but after awhile, I wondered why I didn't notice him. He was so kind, strong, and handsome...," Marceline trailed off. For the first time I payed attention to her hands. She was twiddling her fingers, and she was playing with a silver ring on her ring finger. The ring had a black diamond in the middle, and two white diamonds on both sides of the black diamond. There were tears falling down Marceline's cheeks.

"Malcolm and I fell in love. We'd spend almost every hour of our lives together. I guess he was so, fun to be around. He made me feel right, like nothing could go wrong in his arms. Everyone that heard of us thought that we were the cutest couple." She smirked. "Unless they were Malcolm's sisters. They thought we were gross. But they still saw me as an older sister. Malcolm was my first love, and I was planning for him to be my last. After five years of knowing each other, we were going to get married, but again, the humans messed it all up." I looked back at Marceline's hands. Her ring must have been her engagement ring.

"The Air Force found us once again. One day before my wedding day, we were raided on again. Fredrick and Carlton shrouded me from their attacks, but it just made me feel guilty. I just sat there watching my finance writhe in pain. We were screaming for each other, but I couldn't do a thing. After the planes left, I sat by Malcolm's body for his last few moments. We shared a tender kiss, then he left me. It was after that moment that I gave up on love. All it's brought me is pain in the end. I cried beside him for what seemed like hours, then left for another place. And I was on the run like that for years, alone, and in pain from my past memories. And I guess I'm still like that now..."

"But then I met yet another vampire. Her name was Samantha. Sam for short. We were good friends, and we'd share the tales of our pain. She was a bit older than me, but we got along fine. She went through a bit more suffering than me. She's seen her whole family, children and all, get murdered in a gory blood bath. I forget what else she went through, but I remember that it was a walking hell. Sam showed me that I don't have to kill to survive, but my blood-lust never died, but over the years I've gotten used to it. She was also the one that told me there weren't anymore vampires than the two of us. The thought scared me. I almost knew that vampires were doomed that day. And it's not very easy to turn someone. It still hurt, but it didn't surprise me much when I returned to camp to find Sam dead on the ground in a pool of blood. She had a bloody stake deep inside her chest. Dead as a doorknob. Then I was on the run, yet again, untill I met you. And here I stand," Marceline said with tears in her eyes.

"That sounds, rough..." I said. I truly felt sorry For Marceline. I never thought a creature like this would have so many feelings...

"Rough doesn't even start to explain..." Marceline said as tears fell down her cheeks.

"It's OK, Marcy," I said to try to make her feel better. I hoped she'd like her new nickname.

All she did was smile and wrap me in a hug. She stuffed her face into my shirt. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders.
