Chapter 5- The telling of the past- part two

Katherine was looking into the eyes of Marcus when she noticed that he was different. Very different. She decided to ask him.

There's something about you that I can't put my finger on. Do you mind sharing it with me? And please don't lie. I hate it when people lie.

Marcus hesitated then began with a question.

"Katherine, do you believe in vampires?"

"Are you joking?" she looks into his eyes and said, "You're serious aren't you?"

"Yes"

She looked into his eyes and answered "yes and no."

Marcus was surprised with the answer.

"Why?" she asked him.

"Because, I am one of them."

She was stunned. She looked at him again, but this time she looked at him but really looked at him. She noticed that he is what he says he is.

"You really are a vampire aren't you?"

"Yes. But why aren't you scared? Most people would scream and tell me that I'm crazy and run off."

"Yes I imagine people doing that, but I'm not like most people you know."

She was already standing by this time. And Marcus was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Besides, I know you wouldn't hurt me" she said softly to him.

He only looked at her.

She saw a lot of emotions race across his face. All of which she could not difine.

"Tell me about yourself. Tell me how'd it happen. Please?"

"Only if you tell me about yourself as well. Deal?"

"Okay. But you go first."

"Alright let me start when I had just turned of age…"

Rembering the past

It was the fifth teen century. My parents where kind people to everyone and to everything. My mother's name was Victoria Winchester before she married my father. My father's name was Jean-François Devereux. My mother was English and my father French.

They both met when the king of france commanded my father to wed an english girl to strengthen the bonds between england and france.

So my parents married and became very happy. My brother was born twelve months after they got married.

Afterwards in thirteen months time I was born. Then in another fourteen months my sister was born. After her my other sister was born. In total my parents had four children together. We were a happy family.

My father was a very rich man. And naturally most of his wealth and his home would go to his eldest child.

I would be given the chance of studying and become a rich merchant or someone of a very high status.

But my brother died tragically in a carriage accident. So when my father died all would go to me.

My father died a year later of my brother's death. We were all very devestated.

By then it was up to me to take care of my family. I didn't know what to do but i took care of them one day at a time. Two months after my father had died i took his place as head of the household and the business.

The business was in the family for many generations. We bred the best horses and we trained the best horses. And we sold them to anyone who had money.

That was where our wealth came from. We were very rich aristocrats. Added on by my mothers dowry. For she was england's queen's cousin.

My father was a very powerful man. He was the third man in line for the throne of France. In his eyes that was nothing. But to everyone who knew him that was saying something.

So i took over as head. I'll have to admit that all was very difficult. So i hired a steward to help me make the choices around the house.

Slowly but surely my mother died as well. She died of a broken heart.

So now it was just my two sisters and me.

I decided to marry off my sisters. But i would let them marry for love. It was what my mother would have wanted.

So my sister Sarah was married to a duke of england by the name of Nathaniel St. James. I saw that she had chosen well so i gave them my blessing and watch them leave to start a family.

Now it was the my youngest sister's turn to marry. Jaime took her time in choosing her husband. But in the end she chose a scottish man by the name of Alec Kincaid. I gave them my blessing and watched them leave for the highlands of scotland.

So now i was alone with house full servants and my steward.

One night I went to a tavern to meet a couple of friends. We drank and they left to go corousing somewhere else. I on the other hand wanted to stay and have another drink.

I must've been sitting there for almost thirty minutes when i noticed someone looking at me.

I looked across and saw a blond pale white man looking at me. I noticed that he wore all black with the hint of the color red on him. He had shoulder length blond hair and blue and green eyes. I wished at that time I had eyes like that. I had chocolate brown eyes that i had inherited from my mother.

I watched the man walk over to my table and sat down. We looked at each other for while when he finally spoke.

"My name is Xander. And i wanted to ask you something. But i'm afraid you will laugh at me. May we go to your home and talk more private? I do not want people to know what i want to tell you."

I didn't know what to do. I looked into the eyes of the man and saw only kindness there. So i decided to trust him.

We left and arrived at my home. We went to my library and sat there. The maid arrived and served our drinks and silently left.

The man spoke of where he came from and how he became what he is. He told me of his life as a vampire.

I didn't know what say afterwards. But as we spoke i came to relize that i believed him.

We spoke for several hours and he finally said what he wanted to ask me since he first saw me.

"Marcus I have come to you to ask you if you wanted to become a vampire like me and live forever. I will give you the choice just like i was once given the choice.

I was stunned and speechless.

"You do not have to answer right away. I will give you two days. Then i will come and hear what you have to say."

I finally spoke,"Two days is a very short time don't you think? I'm making the choice of changing my life forever."

"Not for me. But i will be generous and give you five days. Then i come will for your answer."

I escorted the man to the door and watched him disappear into the dark night.

I spent the next five days actually thinking on his proposal to become a vampire.

In the end i wanted to become a vampire. So when Xander came in to my library on the fifth night i told him yes.

Xander was pleased that i had chosen to become like him.

So he then proceeded in making me a creature of the night.

Xander watched as I died inside. And watched my transformation from human to vampire.

He saw me as my hair grew very fine. And my eyes begin to change to look just like his.

I watched with my newfound eye sight as my skin began to pale. I was in pain for several hours. Xander assured me that the pain would soon go away.

So when the pain finally subsided i was very glad. So I begin to tell Xander that i wanted to leave and go far away where no one can find me. I asked him if we travel the world for a while.

He said that we would anything i wanted. So asked my mentor if we could fake my death and leave all of my possessions to my two sister's sons. He agreed that would be for the best. So I got some of my money that i had put aside for the traveling.

We proceeded with the plan. Everything went well. My sisters returned from their homes to attend my funeral.

Afterward me and Xander went to travel the world for many many centries. He showed me his world and what was needed of him to survive. And he showed me what it was to be a vampire.

We slowly but surely departed to go our own seperate ways. He was sad but agreed that it was indeed my time and for the best for meto live by myself.

More centries passed and i occasionally saw my mentor from time to time. Then i decided to come here to the colonies where i traveled back and forth to England.

I decided i wanted to settle down for awhile and decided upon this town where i have lived since. This is how i met you.

Katherine was silent for moment thinking about his past.

"It's your turn now Katherine. I've told you how i became a vampire. Now it's your turn to tell me about your past."
