We finally left his beautifully decorated house to hunt and to make me
stronger.We walked to a beautiful park, with many benches and a continuous
flowing fountain. Even though it was late and only the street lamps lit the
streets, there were many people who walked around, looking and pointing at
certain things that caught their eye. I had to admit, it was quite dazzling
with the moon reflecting off the silvery water in the fountain.
"Now watch closely," Amir instructed. He silently walked over to where a tall, middle aged, blonde was observing the towering oak trees. Slowly, he made his way up behind her and then quickly grabbed her head and bent it back to expose her neck. I watched in horror as he sank his fangs into her milky white skin. I saw a line of blood cascade off her cheek, therefore I had to look away. As soon as I did, I heard the lifeless thump of her dead body hitting the ground. Tears welled up in my eyes. I could not beleive this was my destiny: to hunt by night and kill innocent people. They had their whole life ahead of them, and we, we were just taking it from them.
"Now it is your turn, Claudia," he spoke in a hushed voice.
It all went by in a blurr from that point. I slowly walked up to another woman, who was sitting on a bench with her back to me. I studied her for a moment. She had thick black hair that fell past her shoulders. I wondered if she had children; if she had been married for many years. Finally, I did as Amir had done, and quickly grabbed her head and tilted it back. Now, I sank my new sharp canines into her neck and felt them pierce her skin.
As I drank from her, I saw many vivid pictures from her life. I saw birthdays and weddings. She seemed to be a wonderful mother and wife. Then, the blood came more slowly, the pictures faded away to blackness, and I dropped her body as well onto the cold ground. I couldn't beleive what I had just done. It seemed unreal, like this was all a dream. I wanted to wake up, to be in my home again, with my family and friends. This was happening too fast and then I started to become dizzy.
"You did well for your first hunt," Amir met me with a small grin. I could still see the blood around the edges of his mouth, as I knew there was some around mine.
I stayed with Amir for many years in his marvelous house. He told me of his wanderings to exotic places. Of his beginning, when he was first introduced to the Dark Blood. He told me many things about the other vampires who roamed the earth, and their beginnings also. I was amazed at how good a teacher he was, and how willing I was to learn from him. I think I even came to love him. I never imagined I would actually become content with my dark life. I slept in my light colored wooden coffin during the day, and hunted with Amir by night. It was a ritual I become quite accustomed to. But sadly, destiny came along and took from me what little life I had.
