Walking to the train station took about three hours, and thats pretty long considering i'm a tireless leach. By the time i got to the train station it was almost light out again and that wasn't good. See, at first i dfigured it was like those legends, vampires couldn't go out in the sunlight or they burn. Really it was more like vampires can't go in the sunlight unless they want to look like diamonds surrounded by thousands of oil lamps.
So, as the sun started to rise i ran to the station and bought a ticket to Italy.
" I'm sorry sir. You're going to have to wait for a few more hours before you can board your train." The blonde licked her lips. "But i sure wouldn't mind you hanging around to pass the time." she winked.
" I'm okay thanks. Here, is there one earlier tommorrow?" Fuck i just want to bite your succulent neck and suck out all the gooey red liquid. I need to go before i loose control. The back of my throat was burning so bad it felt like it was on fire.
" No hun sorry but if you need somewhere to stay the night..." she bit her tongue and it was just a little too hard. "Shit! that hurt!" the red liquid started to oose.
I smelled it and i marked her as my prey. My blood was rushing in my ears and her blood was all i could think about. I tensed myt muscles and was about to pounce when i saw her face. Her eyes were wide and i saw my reflection in the mirror. My eyes had gone red and my fangs had come out. They retracted and i felt horrid. What have i become? Is anyone safe anymore?
" I... I must go i'm sorry." I stuttered.
" I turned around and ran. Like, flat out vampire sprint. I heard a faint gasp that meant that it must've seemed to them that one second i was there and one i wasnt. I didnt know where i was going. All i knew was that i had to get away from here. Away from the monster i had become. When i stopped to hunt i saw a sign saying "Volterra" and was curious so i went.
When i reached the village i saw and immense building and was quite curious. There were never buildings like this in my village. Before i had even gotten up all the steps i sensed something, or someone.
The doors opened and a man stepped out.
"Aro. that is my name, now what is yours son?" He asked
I shivered, "Carlisle, Aro and are you a... umm... well are you like me?" I stuttered.
" Yes" he smiled, "I am like you Carlisle. Why don't you come in? Have a snack." he fllashed his fangs " It's almost lunch time anyways."
" Oh. Okay. As long as it's not humans. Deer. Bear. Goat. Those are all good."
" I beg your pardon? Did you say 'not humans'? Are you trying to say that you are a-correct me if i'm wrong- vegetarian vampire?"
" No thats about sums it up."
" Proposterous. Completely and totally insane. Oh well. We'll just change your mind in due time." He gestured into the hall. " Follow me. Now, what did you come to Italy for?"
" Well i wanted to study music but isn't italy a long way from here?"
" You are in Italy Carlisle. Where did you think we were?"
" Somewhere in France.."
" Well anyways what instrument would you like to learn?"
" Umm well i like the organ. That was always pretty during the church services, you know before i was changed."
" How exactly were you changed?" He gestured to a seat that was in a small parlor.
I told him the whole story, getting a little stuttery when i said her name. Just as i finished a girl came in.
" Ah! Jenine so good to see you!" Aro exclaimed. She simply nodded in return.
" Caius is looking for you Master there is someone to attend to." The girl was beautiful in a different, dangerous way. Her long brown hair waving as she walked.
" Of course of course. Maybe Carlisle would like to come too?" Aro inquired.
"Ya i guess i could. I mean i wouldn't want to impose. but ya that would be cool Aro." I answered.
" Ignorance! Imbecile! Do you know who you are talking to!" Jenine yelled. " This is one of the three high vampires of the world!"
" What? Wait how come you didn't tell me that Aro?" I was shocked. Normally people would boast and use the power for thier own gain.
" It wasn't important at the moment and you never asked anyways." He said
Well, nice to know that i am the only one that doesn't know what's going on.
With that we got up and I was led by Aro and Jenine through an unfamiliar hallway, somehow sensing that we were going deeper and deeper into the building. We went down and made too many turns to keep track of so i gave up and just followed, knowing that i probably would'nt have to escape these people.
When we entered a large room i noticed three high-backed chairs, the two on either side holding a blonde and dark haired man. The middle seat was then filled with Aro. He gestured to his left, to the blonde"Caius" and " Marcus" to the dark haired man. On the floor held by a thickset burly man was a red haired vampire who was struggling and not very happy at all.
" So, Aro, you were not here when Tame was brought in by Demetri here. He was caught after being sighted by humans. Do you know what happens to vampires when they let slip our secret, son?" Caius asked.
" Umm no sir i don't sir." I said
Caius nodded to Demetri and Demetri snapped Tame's neck and then demetri and Janine proceded to rip him apart limb from limb and burn him. I think that maybe i was wrong about these people when i thought that they would be civilized...
" Now i do believe lunch is much overdue. Don't you Marcus? Caius? Jenine, will you go out and get today's batch? Get another one for young Carlisle here too" He smiled.
Jenine just nodded. She swayed out of the room and the last bit of her i saw was her long brown hair as it swept out of the room. I turned to Aro and looked at him for a couple of seconds. I hope that Jenine knew to bring a deer or something because if not i will starve, i will not kill a human so that i, an unatural immortal, can live.
Jenine swept in followed by six humans and i knew that i wasn't going to get a deer. She shut and locked the door, licking her lips and smiled. " Dinner is served. " She pounced.
The screams i heard then i knew were going to haunt me for a long time to come. The burning in my throat was immense and i almost lost control. But then i thought of her Amelia. No. I can't. I won't. I'm doing this for her. For them all.
When they were done and the one that Jenine had brought for me was drained thier eyes were scary red and i was no longer comfterble. My throat was still burning but i ignored it.
" How can you drain people's lives. How can you live with yourselves taking these lives?" I was disgusted.
" Impertinant! They are no more than parasites! We let them live!" Marcus spoke.
" I think it best if i go and hunt now. If any of you would like to accompany me and try out my 'vegetarian' ways then come along." I said. "Oh and if any of you would be so kind as to show me out that would be amazing."
"I will" Jenine replied automatically.
" Okay but i expect you two back by tomorrow." Aro winked " Don't have too much fun you two! Bye!"
And we set off.
Guess what? REVIEWS ARE STILL GREAT! Thnxxxx!3 3
