Chapter 4: Welcome to Hell
"Well," Elise explained to me. "There is the basic history, the ages, the renaissance, the crusades, and that's just Europe. There is still the history of Asia, the Americas, Africa, all of the colonies; oh there is just so much to say, but you and I have eternity to speak, Master Raziel."
"Raziel, its just Raziel," I said as we walked down the street, the early morning darkness showing the coming of the sun. I turned to her and gazed her appearance a second time.
She was indeed a beautiful young woman, her height a bit shorter than my own, and her limbs appearing to move as ripples in water. Her hair was long and the color of tree bark, and her eyes the same. She wore a pair of dark blue pants that were cut in a very attractive fashion, the fabric clinging to the curves of her legs and buttocks, her feet trapped in black sandals with large needles at the heels. On her torso there was a small coat made of dark blue cloth, the bottom of the jacket cut short and exposing the roundness of her derrière. Indeed, she was an attractive young fledgling, wrapped in midnight blue.
"Why are you so enthralled with me Elise?" I asked, continuing from what I had said before. "I killed you and made you an undead rogue, how could you not despise me with all of your being?"
She stopped.
"I'm thankful," she murmured. "I have been afraid of death for years, my mind unable to believe faith. The abyss has brought chills to my spine and has made me collapse time and time again." She looked up at me and whispered, "but now, Master Raziel, you have given me eternity to live. I can be conscious forever."
I was speechless.
"You actually want immortality?" I asked coldly.
"Yes," she replied, smiling. "I wanted forever, and now I have forever."
"Well," I said as I turned and walked on in search of a new hotel. "I suppose you can have forever then to lose yourself and disconnect from your body."
For a while the two of us walked in an awkward silence, the morning showing the first signs of the sun rising.
"We need to hurry and get you into a dark place that can protect you from the sun. Being one of my fledglings, you will quickly become a strong being in comparison with other young vampires. But just because I made you does not mean you are indestructible by the sun at this point. You will need to stay in darkness before I can train you to resist the sun's horrible ray's."
"Yes Master Raziel," she replied. "I'm getting tired anyways, so lets find a place to sleep."
"Well, all we need to do is find an inn that has some vacancies and we will be fine."
"Hmm," she said as she looked around. "Wait, this is my neighborhood, I live very close to here."
"Do you live alone?" I asked.
"Yes, I live all alone in an apartment that my parents provide for me." She looked up at me and smiled, "I'm the daughter of very rich parents!"
"Are you?" I asked her as she moved in front of me and led the way. She grabbed me by the wrist and began to run, her speed becoming a bit too quick for human speed, and heads were beginning to turn.
"Slow down, you're drawing attention," I ordered, and like a well trained pet she agreed, her fast run becoming a vigorous skip, my arm moving upward and downward with each little jump she took. I could tell that this young woman would become an annoyance very quickly, possibly such an irritation that my most horrible of rage might become unleashed upon her. I would have to guard Elise from my own self, as she was my responsibility and my repayment for taking her life.
"C'mon Master Raziel, lets go have some fun before the sun comes up," Elise cried out in curiosity of her new powers.
"Were you not just feeling weary a few moments ago? How is it that you have become so lively in such a short time?" I asked. I could not recall ever having such a reserve of energy, but then again, there was so very little for me to call memories that it seemed pointless to try.
"I don't know," she mumbled as she attempted to compose herself, her arms extended at her sides like two immovable poles, her posture straightened momentarily. "I guess I'm just weird," she sighed and reached into her coat pocket. She pulled out a very small key, no larger than a coin and with sharp teeth on one side.
"Why do you have that?" I asked as we stopped in front of a door, all the windows dark and without the magical illumination orbs that fill every place I've seen.
"We're here," she said smiling, her small key inserted and then twisted into a tiny hole. She opened the door and then invited me in, the darkness of her dwellings making things difficult for even myself to see. I was astonished when she clapped her hands together twice and all of her illumination orbs powered on.
"What was that?" I gasped, pulling out my dagger for caution of an attack.
"Oh calm down," she mocked. "It's a little device that turns lights on and off whenever you clap your hands."
"Really," I said, amazed. After a short instant of debate I decided I would attempt the same feat that she had just done. With my shaking hands I made a clapping noise in the same manner that she had, the two slaps with the sort of timed rhythm. In an instant all of the illumination orbs became dark, making her dwellings the image of darkness.
"Amazing," I laughed as I again clapped my hands twice, the illumination orbs using their magic to make everything visible. I repeated the feat several times until finally young Elise grabbed my hands, preventing me from clapping my palms together again.
"You really have been out for a long time, haven't you Mr. Raziel?" She asked as she guided me to a table in the largest space in her dwellings. She sat me down and walked to the corner opposite of me. "Are you hungry, Master Raziel?"
"Hungry?" I asked as I gazed around the room, seeing all of the technological magic and the various pieces of art taken from the ages.
"You don't know?" she asked as she opened the door to a large white device that made a humming noise. She buried her head into the mechanism for a moment, then stood up and closed the door, a large vase with a clear-green liquid swimming around the inside of it in her hand.
"What is that odd liquid in you vase there?" I asked, confused as to what she wanted to do with it.
"This? Well, basically it is flavored water, and you drink it when you're thirsty."
"Drink? Elise, we cannot drink any liquid besides blood, and we cannot devour any food. Our only source of nourishment is blood."
"What? So we cant eat or drink?" She asked as her body became motionless, the green liquid spilling from the edge of her vase.
"No. We are not mortals now; we are vampires. Do you understand Elise?" I asked.
She stood in stillness for a moment, then her body began to convulse, the vase slipping from her hand and shattering into a thousand fragments on the ground. She shrieked loudly, her voice shaking all of the little objects that stood on the shelves. She began to cry, clear tears falling from her eyes and onto the floor of shattered dreams.
