After a few days of time on my own, while Myrnin sits in the abyss of a vampire prison, I find myself incredibly bored. Claire came to check on me yesterday, well when is say check I mean make sure I haven't killed any poor Innocent human.
I told Claire when Amelie came to my rescue that I am her granddaughter, but she promised not to tell anyone without my permission We have become quiet good friends and I have told her a lot about my short life.
Amelie told me that I am and was allowed to go out around the town, but to be completely honest, I'm scared. I'm scared that they will see me for what I am, a blood sucking killing machine. But I don't want to be seen like that, I'm kind of like a vampire vegetarian, I don't eat Human.
But I have nothing else to do and there's no harm in just checking things out, anyway I'm a vampire they couldn't hurt me. But what about the danger Amelie is so worried about, I haven't a clue what it is, but I'm terrified that it's something truly deadly.
But she told me that it's ok to go about the town, so there wont be a problem with me going out, if there was danger of me being hurt out side then she wouldn't have freed me. Ok, I have made my decision, I'm going out, hopefully everything will be ok. Maybe I'll even make some friends.
I sit on the bank of a riverbed, my white blonde hair flowing behind me, like silk in the wind. The cool feel of the clear rivers water feels like heaven on my bare legs. My white dress is wet, but I don't care. I know we don't usually feel things like this, but I am a child in the vampire world, so I feel more human than vampire at this time.
I glide my pale hand through the water, fish and other earthly creatures flee as they feel the ripple my hand makes in the water. I smile freely with my white blue eyes closed in ecstasy. It's so good to be free, to be able to touch the earth, and feel the wind on my shoulders. I have waited for this for years, dreamed about it, I have even prayed for it.
I can't believe that I was so scared of this, there arn't many humans out at this time and Amelie would never set me free if this was dangerous. I stand up from the water and slowly wade into it, until its up to my neck. Then I dip my head under and dive to the bottom of the river.
I wave my delicate hand through the weeds and smile at a tiny minoe that swims past my face, unafraid and unaware that it is directly in front of a death trap. I swim further until I find a tiny cave. I sit inside of it and watch the river life swim past carelessly. I don't have any need to breathe so I can stay here as long as is needed.
It's funny to think that I was killed by a river and now the first place I go on my own after freedom, is to a river. I guess it's because I feel my life in the water, the life that I lost but in some way am still in charge of. After awhile of calming serenity, I push up and out of the water, without even a breath.
I walk out of the water without looking back, and onto the desert like street, houses are quiet with lights sometimes on in the bedrooms. One house in particular has every light on, I find myself intrigued by every movement inside the house, though I can't see it I can feel and hear it, because of my vampire skills.
I rudely walk onto their lawn, not meaning to trespass, but trespassing anyway. I can feel 3 heart beats but hear 4 different patterns of movement. There is another vampire like myself behind those walls. I cock my head, and stare at the walls like I can see through them.
My body moving like a strange undead cats, I walk closer to the house.
Eve Pov.
After my long scream at my loving corpse of a husband, I walk out of the house for some cold fresh air. I need it to let of the hot steam curling up like a tight fire ball inside of me. As I let go of a big hot breath, I turn my head, making my middle length black and pink pigtails bang against me face.
A girl with long white hair and cool bright whitey blue eyes stands staring up at me, with fear and excitement shining in her moon like eyes. I freeze then as soon as I take another breath I have my silver nitrate super soaker pointed at her pretty face.
She moves back a little, her fast vampire reflexes making it look like she was there in the first place, but I know different. She's wearing a long white summer dress, that clings to her body, soaked right through. I wonder what the hell she's been doing.
"What do you want Fanger!" I yell, hopefully alerting the rest of the house. She looks absolutely terrified of me, not of the super soaker, she doesn't even notice that, but of me. "I-I-I'm so s-sorr-y I Didn't m-mean to trespass. I-I'm sorry." She says tears in her bright eyes. Her accent is soft like an angels, but with a French tint.
I lower my soaker slightly, and yell a little quieter, "We're protected by Amelie, you can't touch us, corpse." She looks shocked and completely horrified, but with a spark of recognition in her eyes. "A-Amelie, she is my re- friend. I lower my purple and black soaker and relax. "oh, Amelie has friends?" I giggle "You mu-."
"Get on the ground fanger!" Shane screams as Michael grabs the girl by the neck and lifts her into the air. Shane holds a silver BB gun up at her chest, and Michael begins to growl ferociously at her. Claire runs out of the house a few seconds behind them and prepares to attack the girl with a silver tipped stake.
Recognition glints in her eyes. "No, Wait, you can't hurt her." She yells pulling Shane's arms down. "Why?" Shane asks turning to look confused at his girlfriend. The girl shakes like a terrified child while she looks down at Michael, he puts his fangs away.
"Her name is Celestia, she lives with Myrnin, she's very important." Claire yells slightly anxious. Shane turns and rolls his eyes at the mention of Myrnin. Michael gently puts her down and Celestia flits over to Claire hiding behind her as everyone turns to look at them.
"Why is she important?" Shane asks. Claire turns her head to whisper into the frightened girls ear, the girl nods her head wearily, forcing her hair to hide her eyes and Claire turns back to face us. "She is Amelies great granddaughter, if anyone hurts her Amelie will kill everyone involved.
Michael shuffles uncomfortably and Shane takes a step or two back. I thank Gaia that I didn't shot the poor girl. "Wow, I'm so sorry I nearly soaked you, I feel like such an idiot." The girl smiles and says, "That's ok, I understand, I'm sorry if I frightened you, I really didn't mean too."
Michael walks closer and kneels in front of her, his eyes scared but the rest of his face sollum. "I'm sorry for my actions Majesty, I am a blood child of Amelies, In a way we are family." He says with a respectful smile.
Her whole face brightens and she moves away from Claire and closer to Michael. She motions for him to stand and wraps her arms around his stomach. "Nice to meet you cousin." She says happily. She then lets go before I get concerned and smiles at everyone else, including an extra friendly smile directed at me.
I can't help but smile back, then Shane pipes up and asks. "So, how are you related to Amelie? Can Vampires have kids?" He looks at me then Michael and I take a glance at Michael, who is looking at me. I refuse to get my hopes up but my heart beat turns funny.
"No," She says sadly, which shatters my heart but I don't show it. "Before Amelie was turned she had a child, whom she left human. Through the century's she watched us all, until it was just me and my mother left." Her eyes turns sad as she mentions her mother.
"Then how are you a vampire now?" Michael asks, confusion and what looks like sadness arches his brow. "Well a man took me to a river and tried to kill me. But Amelie got there in time and turned me, so she wouldn't lose her only living connection to her child.
"Why did the guy try to kill you?" I ask being a bit nosy.. oh well. "Well," She mutters. "He fell in love with me and couldn't have me in a way he wanted me, so he took me to a river in Chicago and beat me to an inch of my life. I would have died if Amelie didn't have people watching me, they told her that I was kidnapped and taken to that river and she came to my rescue."
"Wow." I exhale. "Well you are absolutely stunning, I can understand why someone would want you so bad." I mutter which gets me strange looks from everyone but Celestia who just smiles. "Have you always looked like this?" I ask, if she could I'm pretty sure she would have blushed. "Um yes pretty much, the only difference is my skin, I wasn't this pale." She mumbles looking at the ground.
We stand all a bit shocked, how can anyone be naturally that beautiful, well I guess she is a descendent of Amelies, and she's French... I think. "Are you French?" I ask, she smiles warmly. "Yes I was born in France, but me and my dear mama had to move here. My father was abusive, we needed to get away." She explains.
Michael changes the subject by saying "So, where have you been? I have never seen you about and I know every Vampire in Morganville." She glances at Claire and then back into Michael's deep blue eyes. "Grandmother locked me away in her house, it was to protect me. But when she found out there as danger she moved me into Myrnins." She says, with a small sad smile.
"What's the danger?" Shane asked excitedly, oh that guy.. always up for a fight. "I don't know." She says concerned. "She said that nobody could know that we are related though." "But you told us?" I ask/say. "Yes because Claire told me I could trust you. C-can I trust you?" She says looking at each of us nervously.
Yes we all tell her easing her nerves. We ask her in and she comes inside and explains a little more about her life. She tells us about her long lie locked inside a room, it breaks my heart a little bit and makes me hate Amelie just a bit more than I already do. She is such a sweet girl nothing like the other vampires.
She tells us of her fear of other Vampires that she Doesn't know and that she never wanted to be what she is know. We soon become friends, but then she tells us she has to go before the sun comes up and leaves.
Celestia Pov.
I walk back to the shed, slowly or a while then I rush when I feel the sky become hotter and hotter, as the sun begins to come up. I dart into the shed and hold myself up against the wooden side. I let myself breath and I let my body heal the little that was burnt. Then I jump down the hole and into the Laboratory.
Where Myrnin stands. His warm eyes shining with guilt. "Hello Princess Celestia." He whispers just loud enough for me to hear. "Hello Myrnin." I mutter in return. "I'm sorry about the other day, I wasn't well. I am so very sorry my dear, please I hope you can forgive me?" He says his voice low and desperate.
I stand in silence for a moment not knowing what to say. He notices and changes the subject. "Where have you been my dear? Your clothes are very wet. I am quiet again but then I answer the pitiful man. "I went for a swim." My voice is unusually cold as I brush past him. Before I leave I look behind my shoulder.
"I'm going to bed, you may not enter in the morning, you may not touch me again, and if you attack me again, I will have you locked away forever." His eyes lower, I know by the sad look in them that what I just sad hurt him very much, but I'm angry and I want him to know that. I do not completely mean what I said, I just want to hurt him.
