I watched as two boys ran, playing and prancing through the forest. I listened to their bell like voices, which numbed my ears. It was beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Their pale faces gleamed in the clouded sky, and their laughter was in harmony. Perfect harmony. I couldn't see the features on their faces; only two little black haired youths. They looked to be about 14, in human years. But if they were purebloods, they had to of been at least 900 years old. It charmed me that they were so young. But what really got me going was that they looked almost exactly alike. Twins? No, that's impossible. Twins have never been born from pure bloods. But, if it is so, I will take them both. How nice, two more prizes instead of one. Of course, I only needed one. Maybe I could sell the other one. My little brother would more than likely take the other. Yes, he would have to thank me for this later on.
The two boys were reluctant to turn their heads so I could properly see their faces. But from where I was standing, they were already more beautiful than any thing I had ever seen. Truly, they were to be marveled on. As I was watching, the first boy turned his head. What I saw surprised me. Not a killer, like I imagined. But a beautiful, smoothed and flawless face; it looked completely innocent. Those features blended into an expression which had no flaws. I could only imagine what kind of person he was on the inside. He continued to run past the trees, his soaked frame dancing through the air. But the thing that caught my attention the most was those beautiful green eyes. They were like marbles in a toy shop; shined up and ready to be bought. I was the child that wanted the entire box of marbles, the entire body of that boy. I wanted it. I really wanted it. And I would stop at nothing to have it. As the youth ran into the distant trees, the other turned as well. Yes, It had the same pale and beautiful complexion, but with deep violet eyes. How strange, I have never seen that shade in some ones eyes. Yes, purebloods truly are magnificent. I jumped off my horse as the other youth disappeared and followed their path. They were running in different directions; I could hear their steps ring father from one another. This was my chance. I searched for the boy and found him resting in a near by tree. He was on the lowest branch, swinging his feet back forth, enjoying himself. His eyes reflected the rain that drops that fell before him. He truly was a beautiful being. As I continued to stare at the youth, I noticed a small glint of sorrow in his eyes. Maybe I could get to know him better, and trick him into giving me the blood. I really don't want to hurt him. It would be such a shame to lose sight of fragile being such as this. Oh, it truly would be. I gathered up my courage and stepped forward, making sure not frighten the young little thing. He jumped and attempted to run, but I stopped him. He froze and turned his head in fear; his emerald eyes were giving off tears of distress. How interesting. The thought fascinated me.
"A young boy such as yourself shouldn't be out here like this. Where are your parents?" I asked, grinning. The boy griped the tree branch and looked away; his face was blushed. His eyes stared down at the ground with uncertainty; he acted as if he was in trouble.
"Well uh… I'm not supposed to talk to outsiders…" he said. Funny. I was expecting him to say strangers. His clan must have taught him well.
"I would call myself an outsider. So tell me… what are you doing out here in the middle of the forest?" I asked, trying to let the little thing relax. It blushed even brighter; I could tell that he was nervous. He must have never seen a human up close like this before.
"Well… I was playing with my brother… and I can't find him. I think he went back to the palace…" it managed to choke only those words out. I smiled at the little thing. I didn't see it as a boy. I saw it as an object to take. Like a… pet, you could say. Some thing that seemed lower than me, or the same as me, but really had higher levels than myself. It was hard to explain how I felt about the boyish little toy.
"You're right. He probably did. So, are you older than him?" I asked, even though I knew the obvious answer; it seemed impossible to come across such a site.
"Uhm… No… well… yes, but he's my twin. I'm older than him by a little…" The little toy tried to talk its way around me; trying to escape a cage that had no bars, but walls. How strange.
"Ah… I see. How interesting. Are you lost, then? It's getting late." I said, trying to coax the little thing with me. It nodded as it held back the tears. I could feel the sadness that it was radiating. "Come with me then. My tent isn't that far from here, and it has plenty of room." I whispered as I tried to entice the little thing to come along. My offer was simple. I did not wish to harm him yet; it was too soon. The little thing looked away again, thinking. I heard it whine. The young vampire turned around and scooted off the tree, only to face me again. The same sorrow lingered in its eyes.
"But… my mother… she's going to worry… and… my brother… I don't know if I should…" It whimpered, still trying to comprehend the out comes and consequences. I was surprised to hear that its mother was alive. Especially after giving birth to twins, let alone one child. She must be strong. I smiled at the cute toy and told him that I would take him home tomorrow. The little thing smiled and looked down, blushing. I held out s hand that the boy gladly took. It latched onto my arm roughly, trying not to trip on the rock and stone that flooded near the tree basins. I asked the boy how old he was, and the only reply I got was '14.' I was right. He was about 14, in human years. But of course, the little toy was not human, and advanced me by centuries. It was hard to see that this little bird was older than me, not to mention by that much. I laughed quietly at that thought.
When we reached my tent, I led it inside and set out the blanket for it. The toy blushed and refused to look at me the entire time. I got frustrated after awhile and pulled the little bundle in my lap. It whimpered and asked what I was doing. I smiled.
"Just go to sleep. Okay?" I asked, reassuring it that every thing was going to okay. The thing smiled and blushed as it shivered. I smiled again and took off my coat, wrapping it around those thin shoulders. The toy took it gladly, eventually falling asleep in my lap. I watched as those green hues seemed to disappear under those pale lids .It truly was a treat to see this. I savored every moment of it.
