Hey this is vamp! I wrote this story because I got it off the idea of "Interview with the Vampire" I hope you guys like.
It was a dark cold night rain was coming down hard, but the neon lights shown through the blackness to where it almost blocked out whatever you could see of the moon, people lined the wet streets with parasols and rain jackets. The sound of cars and talking was enough, but alas a little pent house window was open and there peered a man with long black hair and pale skin, his crimson eyes scanning the streets as people walked on.
"So this is your place I take it?" asked the young man sitting down in a chair, his tape recorder out and a smile across his young corpulent face.
"No." said the dark stranger still looking out the window with a blank face.
"So what are you?"
"I'm a monster, and an employee."
"Pssh. Right like a werewolf am I correct?" asked the young man laughing.
"You can call me that. Most though call me a vampire, or maybe a fallen angel."
"So what are you doing here if this isn't your house?"
"I lead you here. I can't trust you in my real home for reasons I will not explain to you. But we can't start out this way, I suppose I'll introduce myself. I am Vincent Valentine, former Turk of ShinRa; now I am in charge or a small yet booming business. I was born about one hundred twenty-five years ago, back before all this machinery was improved." Said Vincent as he turned around, his face ageless like an angel carved out of marble, his eyes as piercing as vulture eyes, and a smug smile across his delicate face.
"You look younger than me."
"Ah, but like I said I am a monster now, not some normal being like you are."
"How?"
"That will come in time. Now how shall I begin my story from birth to present or shall I start off the remaining days of my human body and my path of redemption?"
"How you became a monster I want to know. And what do you mean redemption?"
"Ah I'll tell you then… It was one hundred years ago, oh so long ago as my memory can reach, I was still a young man back then in my twenties wasn't I? Even younger than you are now at this current moment, and even in love as it seems. I was doing my work, and committing a sin that would send me deeper into hell every day; although I didn't know back then, and now that I think of it I really didn't care. I was still as I said human, and had a while to worry about these sins I had carved into my soul."
"I remember these days like a precious dream to me, oh the only thing that keeps me from having nightmares as often. I ran all around the world doing assassinations, dirty jobs, and body guarding the president or whomever I was assigned to. Oh I did my job so well and with so much pride until she showed up; the most beautiful angel I had ever seen in this damned world of ours and probably will ever see again. Her name rings like a silver bell in my mind, Lucrecia, such a magnificent being, so kind and open hearted."
"Ah but I wander off my tale now, like I said I was a Turk, and a rather good one. I was alive back then more than I am now, I was doing my average job of killing as I normally did; The building I worked in was so large, but I suppose I was used to it, I can't say I truly remember my thoughts back then. The president had ordered me to his office since I was supposed to protect those who worked in the science lab on a trip to a little town called Nibelhiem, ah but it's a rather large and industrious town now anymore isn't it as we can see."
"' Vincent Valentine of the Turks,' said the president to me, 'we have a new member that will be your responsibility, her name is Lucrecia Youngston.' He said to me and the young woman turned to me and her smile was as warm as the sun or so it felt. 'It is a pleasure to meet you.' She said to me. I remember myself saying hello and looking away rather quickly. I could say I was embarrassed or maybe even stunned by her, rather it was her beauty or maybe her attitude that made me look away with a swoon but I am still not sure to this day."
"So the woman you fell in love with was a scientist?" as the young man looking to Vincent.
"Yes that she was and a rather beautiful one at that. I cannot explain how beautiful she was I guess it's from my heart saying that she was indescribably beautiful, an intoxicating beauty that could get you drunk off by sight."
"Sounds like you were quite fond of her?"
"Ah love at first sight you can say? You having trouble seeing no doubt?"
"I'm fine. We could use some more florescent light but I'm fine…" said the young man trailing off as Vincent stood up and turned on a light, then the young man jumped, Vincent was as beautiful as any woman and as handsome as any man could ever hope to be. He was perfect, like a living sculpture but he wasn't.
"Shall I continue with my tale?" asked Vincent looking to the man his face, blank, devoid of emotion and yet so full of life or so the man thought.
"Y-yes! I'm sorry I should've…"
"No it is alright, even I need light sometimes. But I am wasting your tape, I remember after meeting her that day went uneventful. All except Hojo warning me to stay away from the woman, saying I would pollute her mind with lies, and thoughts of pain and ignorance. But I ignored these warnings, curses I went on as any normal man without a care in the world. I remember the next day heading out along the road to the little town, oh it was beautiful back then as beautiful as it is now, and ever will be as seen though the eyes of an uncursed man with nothing but virility and love on his mind, oh it was peaceful indeed, little houses one or two shops and a hotel, they no longer stand today. But a large mansion at the end of the town was there, and in a matter of fact it still stands today, only it is rotting, collapsing in on itself and I laugh at it's condition and mourn it's memories."
"The sun was setting as we arrived, Lucrecia asleep against my breast, she was like a sleeping angel to me the only love I'd ever known in this life. Hojo glared at me all the while and inside I laughed, he was madly in love with her no doubt but she chose me… Or so I thought, but then I cannot tell you what she thought I'm not a mind reader."
"I remember walking out into the city, oh it smelt so clean back then and the sun still shone on it, but it seems no matter where I go it rains anymore. Ah but I trail off my story, Lucrecia, Hojo, Ghast , and I were heading off the old mansion. I had known Lucrecia for quite a time before that though, I hope you don't mind I skipped a few months we were there, but I found a ring and I was going to propose to her that night. But as fate would have it, without my knowing Hojo, that fiend, had already gotten to her."
"She seemed uneasy, being around me, and she looked rather sick but I thought she had come down with something. She seemed very ill and yet dedicated she was as trying to escape me in her own way, not with my adolescent mind I had back then I thought she was playing "hard to get" with me."
"'Lucrecia, I have something I wish to ask you.' I said to her, she smiled at me and walked over her eyes looking at my figure. 'What is it Vincent?' she asked me, and it made me smile. Then I pulled out the ring, she looked horrified and yet she smiled, she didn't need to know what I was asking, tears showed in her eyes and she shook her head and then ran away like as if I had tried to hurt her, 'I can't Vincent, Hojo and I… We have conceived and the experiment will go on… I can't, I'm so sorry!'"
"Oh… I became furious Hojo had done something unforgivable he had committed a sin and I still curse him for it even it even to this day so long after his death, but also his sin was my sin as well. I ran and ran till I was out of breath outside town, I guess I needed to collect my mind. Rage, sadness, and so many other emotions all at once swelled and busted inside of me. I had never felt this before, and I think of it now, I had come to tears. I stormed into the lab in the basement of the building, and in fury I entered the room, but I entered it like a gentle man. 'Hojo, I cannot let you do this! This is wrong!' but I didn't know Lucrecia had come there to stop the experiment as well."
"You both had come to stop the same thing?" asked the young man.
"Yes, ah but part of it was done it was to late, no… I was to late to save her, to stop this madness Hojo had cursed us with. But no, it didn't end there it had to get worse with my interference… 'Ah Vincent so glad you can come, Lucrecia and I were just having a little proposal chat.' He said to me and it made my blood boil, but for him not Lucrecia. 'Vincent it's not as it looks like!' said Lucrecia but I shook my head and she ran I think it was from grief. 'Vincent now look at what you've done. You've scared the poor woman away.' He said. 'You finish this and finish this and end it now! You sick son of a bitch!' but I did not receive an answer, but a bullet to my chest. But I remember awakening during my "operation" my "fall from grace", I remember Ghast muttering about my interference will end now. Oh how I wanted to kill him, drink him dry oddly enough but I think that was due to my operation, but I couldn't move, my limbs were heavy as if tied down. I couldn't cry out, scream, anything I was paralyzed and then I started to fall into sleep again, my heart was racing and I felt like I was dieing."
"What happened then?" asked the young boy his eyes fixed on Vincent, his flesh pale with the gruesome detail of his death and fall from grace into hell and then to life.
"I think your about to run out of tape to record." Said Vincent.
"Oh crap!" said the young man reaching in his bag and pulling out a new tape to insert, he sweat uncontrollably and his heart pounded. Vincent smiled a small little smile and stood up, and walked towards the door to the house.
"I'm going out to buy a drink would you like to come? All this talking is making me thirsty." Said Vincent.
"Yea… Yeah." Said the man running out after Vincent into the rainy dark streets of Nibelhiem of that cold rainy night.
Hey this is vamp, more chapters soon to follow as told by Vincent. I based this off Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire" as I have said so the build is almost exactly like this and watching the movie while writing this too. I hope you all like this just as much as I enjoyed the book and I hope maybe I made a few fans out of you all.
