Chapter Two

I walked away from my old life. I did not know what was to befall
me on the path ahead, nor did I care what was to happen to me. I just went
my way, and prayed to my gods that I would not be taken in again by that
man, that I would not be waylaid or deceived by him anymore. I did not know
what could happen to me on the road, either, or in the next village. Surely the
tales of the plague would spread... and my name would spread as well. I
wished that there was a safe way that I could escape them.
"There is." I turned around at the voice, but no one was there.
I checked all around me, then had the sense to look up. There, perched in
the tree in front of me, looking all the world like he had been waiting there
for hours, was that young man...
"What did you say?" I asked. He jumped down, as easily as if he
was half a foot above the ground, instead of several feet. He stepped close to
me, and I closed my eyes at him being so close to me. It wasn't an
unpleasant feeling, and perhaps that was why it disturbed me the most.
What magic could this man work that could throw all my senses out the
window, and my reasoning along with it?
"I said, Serenity....there is. I do not promise thy revenge..." Here he
paused, and smiled again. "I promise you your safety. A way to escape. I
can offer you eternal escape."
I froze. For a moment I thought he was stating, in a kind manner,
that he was going to kill me, end my life. I did not want that. I wanted to live
still. But opening my eyes and looking deeper into his, I saw that he promised
much more than death, if I would only take it. There was a mystery in those
midnight blue eyes... and a soul there that cried out for... something. That
bit of humanity in his eyes convinced me that he was not a monster, that
there was something in him that made me trust him. I put my hand in his,
and walked closer to him.
His eyes darkened at my acceptance of my fate. His smiled
deepened, and with a gentle touch, he brought my chin up, so that I
was facing his eyes directly. I saw the surprise in them when I didn't
flich away from the despair.. the black pit.. and the truth about what he
was.
I didn't recoil though. I just stared in fascination. I heard tales
about his kind. How they took life from the living to survive. I never
gave credence to those tales, though. I believed that there was something
more to the story... Something that was inside of them that still had a soul,
and here was my proof.
"Before anything else should occur, my beautiful Serenity, I
would like to introduce myself to you. I am Endymion." He saw my
surprise, and his lips curved into a knowing smile.
"Ah, young one... then you have heard of the legend of Endymion,
the peasant, and the goddess Serenity.. or Selene as some call her..."
I nodded, and finished the story. "Of how she fell in love with
him, her, a goddess, and loved him so much he was put into an
eternal sleep so that he never grew old, and he gave her fifty sons."
He titled his head to the side. "Correct. I did not think that
mortals studied the Greek legends any longer." He observed me
for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. "But, as I have suspected
before, you are no ordinary mortal. You still follow the old paths."
I nodded. There was no denying it, and nor would I ever
deny my heritage, my life.. my religion for a new one.
"Then now that we know eachother... and you know what I
am....then let us not taint what we have with vulgar statements of the
obvious. Let us commence with what is willed to be done."
His lips kissed my forehead gently, and he caressed my
hair, as a lover would. I shivered at the sensation, letting him pull
me in his seductive weave of magic. His lips traveled down, and
they traveled over every inch of my face. I licked my lips, and I
felt him hesitate, but his lips did not touch mine, instead they
grazed my throat, and I hardly felt when his lips parted and his
fangs plunged into my throat.
My eyes opened at that point, and I stared into his. I
saw regret... and some deeper emotion that I could not place
at that time deep inside. His eyes searched mine, and then he
turned his head. I closed mine as well, and let the world that I had
known for nineteen years drift away from me.
I came back to myself when I felt a feather light touch
on my throat, above what should be the main pulse... but I could
not feel my own blood.. my heart had ceased to beat. I struggled
to open my eyes, to speak a word, but none could come out.
Endymion kneeled at my side, though, with something warm
trickling from his wrist to my lips. I hesitantly licked them, and
was rewarded by a sweet taste like nothing I had ever known.
It warmed me through, and I could feel, and hear the faintest
stirrings of a heart trying to beat... powered by Endymion's...
blood? I realized that's what it was, and I did not care in the
least. I knew, though, as I drank his blood, and his blood
alone, I was bound to him forever. He had marked me before,
but now it was sealed. No escaping it. i closed my eyes and
blocked off the thought, and lost myself in the total bliss of
connecting myself to someone, to a new life and power...
and safety. I knew, by the bound that now held me to
Endymion, that he would protect me. As I would protect him,
if the need ever rose to do so.
I must have drifted off after the first initial taste of
blood, and my new way of living. I awoke in a darkened room,
with my head pillowed on someone's chest. It was Endymion.
I had finally come out of my daze, and realized what I had
done. I had become a vampire. No... it still did not bother me.
I knew the choice I was making when I looked into his eyes. I
wanted to make this choice. I also knew of the deeper ties to
him. I leaned over him, and his eyes opened slowly to stare
at me, before he sat up, and kissed me gently on the mouth,
then walked away.
He looked once over his shouler. "Come now,
Serenity. We have much to teach you, and the speed to
get away from this area. I do not wish any harm to befall you."
Before we could go very far though, the sun started to rise...
There is the end of that chapter! I know! A little short, but I give
you lots of chapters! I hope you liked this one, and I would like feedback!
