A Bit about My Life
So I was born back in August 1861, and I lived in Mexico City with my very loving devoted parents, my mother Elizabeth Barrera and my father Alexander Barrera.
We lived about a mile outside of the busy street filled city, in the most tranquil of areas. Our house was situated amongst what seemed like a valley of trees, it was heaven. My father was a banker; he worked very hard to provide my mother and me with everything we could ever desire. Every day I would walk the bustling streets of Mexico City to visit my father at work and then I would make the mile long walk back home to my mother.
One day in 1881 I was walking back home through an empty narrow street, nothing out of the ordinary really, but then I was confronted by sometime very unordinary. I turned the corner only to be confronted by two of the most mind blowing beautiful people. I was mesmerized by their beauty. One was female, she was small with long dark hair, her skin was pale as snow and she was breathtaking, the boy was young, perhaps the same age as me, he was tall and muscular with golden honey blond hair.
The boy did not speak, however the dark haired female promised me the world, she promised to look after me and take care of me. Her voice was hypnotizing, she did not speak she sang.
I had so many emotions running through my body I was scared, confused, excited, what was happening I did not know. All of a sudden I felt a calming sensation flow through my body then suddenly a sharp piercing pain and cold lips at my throat. A burning sensation soared through my body for what seemed like an eternity and then it was over.
I came to know the dark haired female as Maria and the boy as Jasper; they both had a strong bond. For the first few year or so of my immortal life we fought together, a large group of around 23 of us, we were strong very strong, fast and powerful. We began to defeat other groups of vampires and take over their land. This was where my life began again. I found a new way of life and I fell in love.
Peter was a young man a close friend of Jasper who appeared to "baby-sit" us newborns. Peter and I formed an extremely powerful and unbreakable bond. Many of the others fought between themselves and died, newborns were very violent and thirsted for one thing. For a newborn I was more civilized, I rarely fought with my fellow vampires and never once did I fight with Peter, WE fell in love.
One night Jasper and Peter called on me, I was worried, many of my other friends had also been called on and did not return. When I entered the room I knew my time was up, my strength had been lessening and I was no longer as fast. I lost my use. Peter looked worried, angry and in pain as if he could not hurt me. He told me to run and I did and he came with me.
For 5 years Peter and I roamed through North America until the day when Peter said he had to leave. To my surprise Peter returned with Jasper. Together the three of us roamed through America, civilized as we were we still hunted humans but only enough to satisfy our thirst and we knew no other way to survive. Jasper was still unhappy and left to find another way of life.
I have been blessed to have seen so many stunning places with my darling Peter over the years on our I have still had the desire to settle down and set up home, I just have to convince Peter, which hopefully won't be too hard.
Although I miss my old life, my human life, I cannot begin to imaging my life without Peter. I believe everything happens for a reason and I know I was meant to be in that street that day where they were waiting, waiting for me.
For now my loves, take care
