Feeling different, I steadied myself, looked around, and saw Demetri. Suspecting that he had heard the collapse and raced up here to see what had happened, I said, "I'm fine, I must have collapsed". Smiling, he said "It is now time for you to fix your thirst". As he walked me down to the kitchen for the Coven, I urgently asked "what do we have if not human blood" expecting some sort of raw meat, or something with blood seeping out. "Animal blood" he gently spoke to me, and ushered me into the kitchen. As I was taking in the new surroundings he walked into the pantry and was looking for something. "Here you go" handing me a living chicken "it won't hold you for long, only long enough to show you how we hunt". Uneasy with the thought, I was thirsty, very thirsty and could hear the beating of the heart of this chicken. I pushed my teeth into the chicken, and instantly felt a release of the undying thirst. Demetri decided there was enough time to show me around the rest of the house before we went for the hunt. The rooms of the house were beautiful, each the same but different in their own ways. I found out the room I was in is the one that adjusting new coven family stays in. The second kitchen is for staff. "We try to keep up appearances by having human staff to clean and to prepare meals for our guests" explained Demetri. I was in awe of all I saw. "Now that you have been fully changed, you will need a new name and identity" said Demetri. "Well, that shouldn't be hard, I have no family, and really don't have many friends" I started, with a slight hesitation "What did happen to my friends that were here". Demetri looked down at the ground, "They didn't make it, some of our guests went too far the other night." I was taken with the fact that I didn't feel much when I heard the news. "Why don't I feel much with that news?" I asked Demetri. "You do not have a soul anymore, it is something that I've grown to know since I was changed, and have a way of knowing feelings." "How long have you been changed?" I asked. "150 years" Demetri replied, "it took me atleast 100 to feel this way" smirking at the expression on my face "don't worry, you seem in control, it may not take you as long. "Soon your mortal expressions and thoughts will fade and you will be able to eat without realizing it ever bothered you" said Demetri. "Now back to the name, what would you like me to be called?" I asked. "That is your decision, one we cannot make for you" Demetri explained. Wondering why they cannot make the decision for me, why I have to figure out a different name for myself to begin a new identity, I started to think of names. I had always thought Rachel was a name for someone stable in their life, which I was not, here is my chance to change it and I can't think of a single name that I would love to have. As I rummaged through names in books and names in my mind I've heard before, I suddenly realized a name that would suit me and would be wonderful to be called, "Jasmine". Demetri suddenly turned to me, "Did you say, Jasmine?" looking amazed. "Well, Yes, I said Jasmine, is there something wrong with that name?" I asked. In an instance, Demetri grabbed my arm and lead me into the front room. A collection of books was before us, as Demetri pulled out one of them I was thinking about what he was looking for, and the sudden quick movements he was making looking through the book. What could all this mean, the response to me choosing the name Jasmine. "Found it", he said, "right here, you must read this!" As I read the page he had flipped to I began to understand. I was HIS Jasmine. Foretold by the beginning coven members was a vampire match, so powerful, so strong, that it can make mortal-like life. I read of reproduction possibilities, the ability to take out a coven by ourselves, an ability to feel love, hurt, and passion of 1,000 people. Still immortal we would remain, but with a human life. Un-foretold is how to get that life. "What does this mean? Instantly we can live like the human's around?" I asked. "Yes, but it does not say how we get to that" said Demetri. "Is there a way to find out? I mean, a normal mortal's life for an immortal must be something coveted." I explained. "It is long told before, that when a mortal turned immortal, of the name Jasmine, can unlock the power for all of those" said Demetri, "it never says how, but you will have the power to unlock that power." Wondering how this can be, how can I be the key to unlock what most covens only dream of, how can I ever be that important.
