I stared at Endymion, my eyes wide and my slight frame
trembling. He loved me? I knew of the bond between us two, between
the one who was created, to the one who did the creating. Endymion,
with his blood, did create who I was now. He changed my body, and
the way I would forever live. That bond would never go away. No matter
the way he kissed me, or held me... I never thought that he could love
me. And after knowing me only a short time?
He gazed at me, and smiled, seeming to know the inner
turmoil. "Yes, Serenity. Why I do love you. You recall the legend of
Selene and Endymion?" He asked. I nodded, not sure where this
was going, exactly.
"I was that Endymion in the legend. Selene was the goddess
of the Moon, and held great power of life and death. She did not want
me to grow old and die, she wanted me to always be by her side. She
is the one who created me. The reason why the race created from my
blood does not harm those we choose to feed from. They do not die,
they do not rise as one of us unless we willed it to be so."
I stared at him. "That explains how you came to be a vampire,
Endymion, but what does that have to do with me? And why you love
me?"
He reached out his hand, and ran it through my hair. My white
blond hair, that was so light, it seemed to be streaked with silver strands.
"Serenity... Selene made me what I was.. but we could not
be together forever. She was in danger of losing her essence. Part of
her went to me, and then she chose to start on the Earth. She became
a mortal, and born into a family that still upheld the traditions. She has
returned to the heavens, but she said to me that one day we would meet
again, when a young maiden was born that still walked the old path,
still looked to the gods for help, and was created in her image. You,
Serenity, are that girl. She knew that she and I would never find happiness
together. I did not love her as fully as she did me, and her love changed
over the years to a love that is reserved for parent and child, or friends.
She gave me the clues that one day her "daughter" would appear for me,
and that I would be able to find my destiny in her."
I was almost in shock this time. I, created from the image of
the goddess Selene? It seemed shocking, impossible. I could not throw
away what Endymion said so easily, though. He may have been lying, but
he already had me... why would he need to make up a story? I believed him.
It was the only sensible thing for me to do.
"Endymion... what do we do now? We can't stay here forever.
We have to confront my past sooner of later."
Endymion looked at me with shocked eyes. "You want to put
yourself in danger?" He asked, surprise in his voice. "Why would you
want to put yourself in danger when you can be safe with me? I want
to protect you." The last statement was spoken in a whisper, and my
heart went out to him.
"I do no wish to go to them quite yet... I want to learn about
what we can do... what the legends say.. and how I can use my powers..
like you use yours. I understand the traveling, but what of others?"
He smiled again, and then brought me into his arms.
"I will teach you like this....."
What we did I can not say in words. The best words I can
think of is that we became one.. no.. not of bodies... we did not know
eachother well enough for that. Our minds merged... all that he had done
throughout the years, all that had been taught to him by Selene.... he gave
to me as well. It was an experience that I never forgot, even to this day.
The teaching took more out of me then the *expected*
activity would be for two so bound as the innkeeper thought we were,
but I still managed to make it down with Endymion for dinner. I was not
sure if my body could take in the same foods as before... my new
memories were telling me no... but how could we get away with it?
Endymion took my hand, and I felt his voice whisper across
my mind. How did he manage to do that? I thought my mind had been
closed off. He himself had "locked" the doors from any invasions. I guessed
that if he locked it, he had to key to unlocking it as well.
"Relax... all will be fine, love. The trick is what you order, and
how you order it."
I did as I was told, and allowed myself to be led to the table.
I could barely keep my eyes open as it was, and heard Endymion order
for me.
"My lady and I will have the roast, rare, please, and a mug of
your best wine." Endymion's voice seemed almost dreamlike to me, and
the innkeepers even more distant.
"Are you sure the blood in the rare is fine for the lady? She looks
a little pale, sickly."
I almost panicked at this, but Endymion wasn't worried. "Serenity
has a blood problem... she needs the extra to help her. She gets very faint
without it."
I felt the woman move away, and I awaited the return when she
came with our meals. I knew that animal blood would be enough to help me
somewhat, but it could not overcome the entire cravings. Sooner or later,
Endymion would have to teach me how to hunt. I knew after that line was
crossed, the last vestige of my humanity would be gone as well.
I ate my meal in silence, trying to seem to eager for the rich
taste of blood. The animal had been freshly killed... and the taste was so
warm and alive to my senses... it seemed to awaken me once more. I
was feeling... I mentally shook my head inside, unable to piece together
what I felt at that moment. Surely... surely... there had to be a part of me
that said no.. that it wasn't right.. I could hear no voice, though, just the
echoing emptiness of what should be there, and wasn't.
After the meal, we went back up to the room, where Endymion
fixed me with a stern look. "As much as I would love to continue feeding
you, Serenity, I myself would feel the effects very quickly... I need you to
make your first hunt... to find your first prey.. take their lifeblood, but not
their life. Do you think that we can do this tonight?"
His blue eyes bore into me, utterly serious, utterly intent on
my answer to his question. I swallowed before answering. It was as if
Endymion had changed... now he was Master again... the head vampire...
and I was just one of the ones that was under his control. If he wanted
to, he could bend my mind to his will. To my surprise, he smiled at
the moment the thought went through my mind.
"No, Serenity... i could never do that. I don't have the amount
of power that you have sleeping within you. I would never want to order
you, either. I understand that you may be frightened, but you have to
understand that this is vital to you. You need to learn this as soon as
possible, to know how to survive. You already know the basics of the
tricks to deceive people, to run, to hide... but you need to refine those
skills, and you need to know how to feed, gain your life, so that you
do not sicken and die. Just as a human can not live without food for
a long amount of time, we can not live without our lifeforce as well."
I nodded numbly. I understood, and I held my hand out to
Endymion. He kissed my wrist gently, then pulled my face up to his, and
kissed me gently, then released me. He pointed out the window, and I
knew my first lesson in "catching my meal" would begin now.
That's the end of that chapter!! I hope you liked, and FEEDBACK

are enjoying this, and that you are aware the Sailor Moon does not belong
