Chapter 3.

Whisps

Whisps

Whisps are rare creatures in the supernatural world, in and around themselves. The best way to describe a Whisp is they are kind of like a shield (see Shield for more information). The Whisp is a person that can protect their thoughts from vampires and humans with abilities, such as reading minds. There are some humans that can have unknown abilities, which do not show until they are turned into a vampire. A Whisp is not one of them. They can be known as a Whisp when they are born or in their teen years.

The History of Edmond "Running Wolf" Hamilton:

Early Years–

The first known Whisp in history was named Edmond Hamilton. This Whisp was the one only in history that was not like normal Whisps. No one really knows why. People think it was the way he was turned at around the age of thirty-two, which made him the way he was. Many have tried to get him to tell them more about his capture and the night he forced into the life of a vampire, but he never gave in. He wouldn't even tell anyone the name of the vampire who had turned him. All that is known about the vampire was he was European. Mr. Hamilton did tell us the history of his life before the change.

Mr. Hamilton was from the Cheyenne tribe where he was born in the year 1572 to a chief and his wife. They named him Running Wolf. He lived as a human Whisp till sometime in the early sixteen hundreds. As a Cheyenne, he was taught at a young age how to be a warrior brave by his father. Come to find out he took to it rather quickly and seemed to be better than anyone around him.

Running Wolf was different from the people in his tribe from the time his was born. His skin was a lot paler and his black hair was streaked with white. He was made fun of as a child, but he was a strong even as a young boy so he didn't listen to the children making fun of him. The animals treated him different as well, but instead of staying clear of him, they always seemed to want to be around the young Cheyanne boy.

At the age of about fourteen, Mr. Hamilton was already hunting by himself and he always seemed to bring food home to his tribe. When he turned eighteen people started to stay clear of him because of his eyes. They were starting to change color and no one knew why. At the age of nineteen he had locked eyes with a young girl and fallen in love. She was just a few years younger than Running Wolf was. Her name was Little Fox and he wanted nothing more than to make her his one and only wife. But he wasn't the only one who was after her.

Running Wolf's cousin, Fighting Bear, from his mother's side was hoping to win the heart of Little Fox. Fighting Bear was a big Indian Brave that was almost as good as Running Wolf at hunting. Fighting Bear challenged Running Wolf to a fight to the death. To win Little Fox's heart, Running Wolf accepted the Fighting Bear's offer to the fight. Where Fighting Bear was big and strong, Running Wolf was fast and clever. Within in fifteen minutes Running Wolf defeated Fighting Bear in battle and Little Fox was his. After the battle, everyone in the village respected Running Wolf and they didn't seem to care about his eyes or his other gifts.

After the change–

Running Wolf was never the same after what the vampire had done to him, but whatever it was is still a mystery to this day. He walked to the ends of the earth looking for the one who did this too him and his people. Every chance Running Wolf got, he fed on the humans. He had great control on his hunger so he would take a human one at a time from each time he got a chance. He choose not to use it.

Once a unknown vampire took over the all of North America Running Wolf changed his name to Edmond Hamilton to blend in. From time to time he would run into a vampire that knew nothing about what he was. Edmond would ask the vampires about the vampire that killed his tribe and turned him. A few vampires remembered running into a vampire who would talk about killing a whole tribe and he said he turned the Chief Running Wolf of the tribe because of his abilities. This vampire had called the Chief a Whisp vampire. Once Edmond got the information he need he would leave just as fast as he had come.

Edmond didn't seem to like anyone. Human and Vampire a like seemed not to be a bother to the old Indian Chief. One vampire in particular Edmond seemed to tolerate – more than the others – and he even seemed to like his company. This vampire named Dr. Carlisle Cullen.

Edmond had spent a lot of time with Carlisle. He told Carlisle about his life and about what happened to him in his last years as a human. Mr. Cullen had said Edmond did not know the name of the vampire who had turned him. He told Carlisle he just called him Pale Face because that's all he knew about him. The whole time this vampire had Edmond he never told him about himself. He just wanted to know what Edmond could do. Carlisle had told Edmond, he would look out for this vampire and let him know if he runs into Pale Face.

"I will take revenge on Pale Face because of he did to my people. I will show him, he has only made me stronger. He will pay for what he has done to me. If I can't kill him I will go down trying."

– Edmond "Running Wolf" Hamilton

Carlisle had traveled with Edmond for a short amount of time and had learned so much about him. There are been so many privet things about Edmond that Carlisle never spoke to anyone about.

"The old Indian Chief, Running Wolf, is my friend and I will never betray his trust."

– Carlisle Cullen

Disappearance–

Around the year 1883 Carlisle had ran into his friend one last time before Edmond "Running Wolf" Hamilton disappeared. Carlisle said that Edmond looked distressed. When the Doctor had asked Mr. Hamilton what was wrong, the Indian Chief had said "I have found him", and that was all he said before he turned around and left, never to be seen again.

Some say Edmond had really found Pale Face and they both had died in the battle of Running Wolf. Others have said Edmond had killed Pale face and once his purpose was complete he had walked away and buried himself somewhere never to see the light of day again. No one has ever found out what the real name of Pale Face was and no one has ever heard of a vampire talking about killing a whole Indian tribe and turned the chief in a very long time.

No one really knows what happened to Running Wolf, also known as Edmond Hamilton and if they do, no one is coming forward. Soon after Running Wolf had disappeared there have been a few Whisps found in time. In history, there have only been six known Whisps confirmed. Two of them have been human and stayed that way till they have died of old age. The other have been turned into vampire in different stages of life. Each and every one of them have been in Native American tribes. None of them have had the temperament of Running Wolf. They all have been happy and caring as humans and vampires.

"No one has ever been like the first Whisp and no one ever will be."

– Carlisle Cullen

Running Wolf will always be known as the first Whisp ever recorded in vampire history. Even though no one knowns where he disappeared to, there was a lot to learn from him and how determined a Whisp can be.

Genders:

For an unknown reason the Whisps who were found were only male Native Americans. There has never been a female Whisps in recorded history. It may be in a gene, carried on from father to son. Oddly enough now two Whisps have ever been in the same family. No one has been able to figure out either of these two mysteries – out of many – about these rare creatures and it looks like no one ever will.

Where Whisps are found:

As said in the section seen above, Whisps are only found in Native American Tribes. The Whisps also has to be pure Native American. There is no mixed raised Whisps ever recorded. Again, the reason for this is unknown. Even though they are rare we know a lot about them, unlike some of the other abilities humans and vampire have, but there are still a lot of things we do not know about these creatures. The only reason we know so much about them is the Whisps who have been found, were forth coming in their information about themselves.

Whisps and Mother Nature:

Considering Whisps are only have Native American blood they are one with nature and they are attuned to her. They say that Mother Nature talks to them and they can understand what she is saying. No one knows if this is true or not but no one dares question a Whisp because who knows what might happen to whoever does.

Animals seem to be attracted to Whisps. If they are in the words or forest – anywhere in Mother Nature – animals won't be far behind. All Whisps are good with animals and can even interact with them out in the wild. Even as a vampire Whisps are one with Mother Nature and the animals.

Human Whisps:

Abilities–

Like all different creatures on earth some Whips are stronger than others. We don't know all of their abilities there are. What is known is a Whisp can protect their thoughts from a vampire who can read their minds. They can also shield themselves from other vampire's abilities so they won't able to be injured in a fight, by the ability itself. As humans, Whisps can have better sense of hearing and sight. Their reflexes are also better than the average human being. Even as a human some Whisps can expand the shield in their minds to protect anyone from any harm. Even if they aren't turned into a vampire they can still be used as a powerful weapon.

Appetite –

As a human, there is nothing special about a Whisps appetite. Their appetites are quite normal. They may eat more than an average human being, but other than that nothings really special.

Defenses –

As a human, a Whisp is very good at hand to hand combat but they are also good at other things. Considering they are fast learners, someone can to teach them how to use a weapon, and it wouldn't take the human Whisp to learn how to use it.

Healing –

The healing of a Whisp is twice as fast as a human. It depends on how bad the wound really is. If it's deep it takes about two to three weeks for it to heal fully. If it's a shallow cut it will take three or four days to patch up completely. If it's a bruise it takes a week for it to go away entirely. When a Whisp gets a broken bone, it takes half the time to heal as a regular human.

The only time that a human Whisp can heal fast is if they are really in love with their mates. Once their bond is strong and they are inseparable the Whisp can heal at a faster rate than they would if they didn't have a mate.

Vampire:

Difference between a Whisp and a Normal Vampire –

The best thing about a Whisp is when they are turned into a vampire they are still like a human. Their hearts still beat, but it depends on what their mates are. If the Whisp's mate is a vampire their heart beats are really slow, mostly two beats every ten seconds. If a werewolf is the Whisp's mate then their hearts will beat the same speed as its mate. Now if a human is a mate to a Whisp, the Whisp's heart will beat a little bit slow than the humans.

Appetite –

The unique thing about a Whisp is that they can eat human food, but not very much. It also depend on how much they have fed on before they decide to eat human food.

A Whisp is when the human Whisp is turned into a vampire they have great self-control when it comes to their thirst. If a human walks in their path while they are hunting – even for the first time – the human is never in any danger. The Whisps never go after a human unless they want to. Whisps can pick what kind of blood they want to drink, human or animals.

Defenses –

When a Whisp is turned into a vampire they really don't need weapons anymore because they have really fast reflexes and they are stronger than the average vampire. Some Whisps still use whatever weapon they were happy with when they were human.

Healing –

The healing process of a vampire Whisp is simple. Instead of a taking a few days to a few weeks of healing it only takes a matter of seconds for the wound to clear up no matter how bad the wound is. The only wound that takes a while to heal is a wound to the stomach. That takes about a week to heal up completely.

Other –

As a vampire, blood runs through the Whisps veins still. the only difference between a human and a Whisp vampire blood is the vampires bleed blue instead of red. Considering blood it's still in their veins if they are hurt they still bleed.

The Whisps skin complexion as a vampire isn't as light as a regular vampire. It is the same shade as the palest human's skin. The heat of their skin is a lot colder than a human's; it's the same temperature as a vampire's. They can also breathe; they just don't need that much air. The last thing a Whisp can do like a human is cry, but only if they are in excruciating pain mentally or physically.

Humans and Vampires:

Abilities –

Human and Vampire –

Whisp human's and vampire's alike are faster than any other creature and they are also stronger. Vampire's abilities are more intensified than a human's though. Reflexes are a lot faster than when they were human, but when they are still human they are still faster than a normal one. When they become a vampire there are some who can also use two of the four nature elements as a vampire. Elements such as fire, air, water, and earth.

It doesn't matter if the Whisp is a human or a vampire. They are the aliment weapon for anyone who knows about them and wants to use them.

Appearance –

Human –

The appearance of a human Whisp is quite odd. Even though they are from Native American heritage a human Whisp is not as tan as the rest of their tribes. They are as pale as the lightest tan human. Their skin is soft and never gets rough, but they do scar more than the average person does.

Another different thing about a Whisp is their hair. The hair can either be black or brown like their tribe members. The thing that's unusual about it is there is one different color mixed in with the black or brown. The different colors can be; red, blonde, gray, or white.

Vampire –

The appearance of a vampire Whisp is different than a regular vampire. Their skin is the same as it was when they were human. The hair is the same as it was as a human, it just the other color mixed in gets darker and almost takes over the other color the Whisps hair.

Human and Vampire Eyes –

Abilities –

Considering Whisps come from Native American Tribes they are very stealthy. You won't even know they are around until they want you to or until it's too late. They are also very observant. Whisps like to be in the background so they can observe their surroundings, which means they have to be very quiet to do this. This is one of the reason why Whisps make perfect spies against creatures they see as their enemies.

Eyes –

Normally a Whisp will have black eyes with flakes of gold and another color, which their eyes would have been if they had not been a Whisp.

Once a Whisp becomes of age (18) or finds their mate – which ever one comes first – you can practically read their moods by looking into their eyes because the flakes that are gold will change color as their mood changes.

Colors:

Gold – normal

Blue – sad

Black – depressed/lost

Gray - Hungry

Red – angry/irritated

Green – jealous

If a Whisp finds their mates before they become of age it may take a while for their eyes to change colors. When this happens, their eyes start changing color for the first time mostly then they are angry about something.

Even as a vampire the eyes of a Whisp are never like the eyes of a normal vampire. They keep their normal black eyes with flakes of gold. The only thing that is different is the other color their eyes have turns gold like the normal flakes.

Senses:

The senses of a regular human aren't much to talk about, but the senses of a Whisps – even as a human – are wondrous. They can sense animals and other creature – such as vampires, werewolves, and humans – before those creatures know the Whisps are there. As a vampire their senses are ten time stronger than when they were human. Considering this a Whisp vampire can be absolutely lethal. This is how a Whisp, human or vampire, make such great weapons. They can kill without anybody knowing they are there.

There is also the Whisp's sense of smell. Even as a human a Whisp can smell is very strong. Unlike most humans that can smell blood at all, a Whisp can smell blood from animal or human from a mile away. If a human Whisp doesn't know what they are they may not know that they can smell the blood of anyone or anything, much less know what they're smelling.

Temperament and Personality:

Most Whisps are easy going and laid back. They are head strong and once they up their minds to something they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. They are normally happy and will do anything in their power to keep the ones they hold dear to them, content. If their loved ones are in danger they will do everything they can to keep them safe till the danger is over.

No one should ever get in the way of a Whisp and the ones they care about the most. Even as a human they are deadly and will not hesitate to hurt or kill the one who is causing the danger to their family.

There was only one Whisp who didn't carry on the temperament of a normal Whisp once it was turned into a vampire, but if we really came to know, how and what happened, then maybe we would understand that Whisp better.

-E&E-

I had no words to explain how I felt about all this, after I was done reading about what I was, or what Carlisle thought I was. My mind was spinning fast than I ever thought it possible could. Was it possible that I was one of these supernatural beings? Was I really a Whisp? I need to talk to someone who knew about these things than I did, and there was only one person who possible could.
