Steve woke with a start. He's hair in disarae, and sleep clothes in shambles. It was 6:45am, Steve groaned and fell back on his pillow trying to get back to sleep but he knew it was usless. He sat up again and reached for his black framed glasses before looking over at his clock radio. The red numbers read now 6:47am. He was trying to remember what woke him. As Steve rubbed his forehead it slowly flooded back. His dream. Not in full detail but bits and fragments came back..
A man... No a boy, a little older than him long black curls, a deep honey tan, but what he remembered most was his teeth. There where two that where longer, sharper than the rest. Vampire? Steve shook his head again and threw his covers back, got up and went for the door. Since he was up he might as well eat.
Estephon Maveric Eclar( or Steve to his friend) is the son of one Mavis Eclar and the grandson of and English Nobleman James and Gertrude Eclar. Steve is the 75th Eclar born to a long and glorious line of Noblity. But in a long line of nobility there is always a few black bloches. It was the talk for many years that Steve's mother Mavis was in love with an America writter Alphonso Davis. Mavics and Alphonso met in Italy Mavis freshman year of college. They fell in love and in Mavis's jouionr yerar of college they moved in together. James and Gurtrude where ferious but despite this Mavics was quite happy with living with her lover away from her tirent parents. Months later Mavis became pregnant, by the time the news met her parents ears she was well into her 7th month. James had to stop this before it shamed his family any more. He journeied to Italy and confronted Alphonso. He offered the man a handsom sum and land in America to leave his daughter and there child. Sad to say Alphonso accepted without a second though. He was gone within hours. Heart broken her lover left her Mavis returned home. Mavis gave birth to her son Estephon. Naming him such because that was his fathers main character in many of his novels, but James gave him his last name. So the Eclar's would have a male hare. Threw the hurtful, shameful, and gossip filled years to come Mavis was slowly loing her grip with reality. One day as she was giving her 5 year old son Steve a bath Mavis snapped. She began to accuse Steve of ruining her life, of driving her only love away. In her fit of rage and sorrow she tried to drownd Steve in the bath tub. A passing maid heard the comoation and raced to help the almost frowned boy. It took 2 maids to controle her.
After Steve was rushed to hospital the doctors came to find that Steve hearing and vision had been severly impared from this insadent. A week later Mavis was given a small wing on the other side of the Eclar mannor house with a doctor and two nurses to care for her. Steve was only allowed to see his mother with supervision.
Ten years later and with much work Steve has now almost perfect hearing but his vision is still impared from his mother's deed. Steve has been raised by the same tirent parents as Mavis had not so long ago. But unlike his mother Steve a thurst for knowledge and wisdome that can never be quenched. From the time he was 8 years old Steve has won awards in English and Science. In school his has been in gifted progeam after gifted program, with even an honorary award from N.A.S.A in America. But nothing can silence the gossip and whispers of upper societies snobby and nosie. Steve has been to may privit schools, all witht the same results. Everyone finding out about his past and eventually him having to leave. One school in Wisenton a boy went so far as to call him a "Little bastard". Steve just pushed his glasses and walked on, but when the same boy continued by calling his mother "a crazy whore" Steve went livid. He had three fingers broken from the fight. Steve didnt care about himself of his sketchy past...which he only found out from the maides. But no one was allowed to talk about his mother. The bullies from school, the teachers, not even his grandfather... Steve was now about 6'3 155lbs. He had shiny, sholder length, bone stright, black hair (Only becaues his grand father would let him grow it out.) He had a slinder build like his mother. With a soft, round face and alabaster skin. His eyes we're a smoky grey but it changed depending on his mood. His mother would sometimes joke that his he grew his hair out they could pass as twins. The rest was pretty much average.
With a large tray full of food and a a pitcher of orange juice Steve balenced it all the way to the East wing of the mannor. He reached the door when a maid came and opened the door for him. "Thaks Nora, How's mom today". Nora was the head maid of the mannor house and took care of Mavis's quarters. The woman was short with greying hair but was not to be messed with. She kept everyone in line and the mannor running. "Quite well Master Estephon, go on in." Steve nodded a thank you and walked into a small living room. He set the tray down and looked for his mother. She was in her house coat on the balcony. Steve moved quickly to her, knowing that more often then not his mother was a jumper. When Steve opened the sliding doors his mother turned and smiled. Mavis was a small petite woman with long black stright hair and pale skin she had a round face. Everything about said tired. Her eyes where now a dull grey and her shink a dull sick grey insted of a healthy glow like her son. When Steve was younger the remembered when his mother was happy anf full of life. Now it was like she was a prisoner of her own mind. "Hi Steveie" Steve blushed. Before his mother had to be comitted Steve always rememberd that his mother was a wonderful mom. She read to him, took him on outting all the time and told great stories of Italy. She walked over and hugged Steve's middle, her head only coming to Steve's chest. "How's school?" Steve smiles a wide perftect teeth smile. "Hi mom. I got us food." She smiled as Steve ushered her in to eat. Once sitting Steve went into perfect detail about his week of school and home. Because it was saturday Steve had the whold day to spend with his ever pasent gossiping mother. They sat for hours hashing out many of Steve's problems, questions and concerns. Or sometimes he would have nothing to say and he would just sit and read with or to her. No matter what anyone said Steve knew the smartest person he knew was his mother, and that's where he got his intelegence.
"I had the dream again" Steve said slowly putting his soy milk and tea down. His mother looked up and streched out on the little love seat. "Was it different this time?" Steve sat back on the couch he was on and nodded. "He looked at me." His mom smiled. "Well come on dish." Steve smiled and started. "Well it started like the last ones did. I was running. It was dark and I started running on two legs then shifted onto four. The I got to a clearing. H was scrouched over a pond. It was frozen over but he was just looking. The he turned to me and I could smell him...Or atleast I thought I could." Mavis nodded listening intently. "He smelled like the forest it was a wooden and flowery smell." He spoke up. "Then I look into his face. His eyes are two toned one Hazle and one a dark grey almost black. He was wearing a suit, with a smudge of blood on his cheek. I head his voice. It called me...by name. He said Estephon. " Steve sighed "and then I woke up." Mavis now perched on the couch leaning in to ketch every word nodded and blew. "Wow kiddo, I dont know about that one. It seems like its a glimps of your future but then not." She looks up "Where you a wolf when he looked at you?" She questioned "Yea" Steve nodded slightly. "Did he make any movement to you?" Steve sat for a moment and thought. "When he finally noticed me he stood and held his hand out for me. I was still a wolf then." Mavis was about to say something when Nora came in. "Please excuse me Ms. Mavis but Lord James is awake and looking for Estephone." Steve groaned and stood. "Its saturday.." Nora nodded "But he wishes to discuss your trip to Rome on Tuesday." Mavis snickered. "Should be so bright love then he wouldnt bother." Steve hissed his mother on the forehead. "I will try and be back soon." He said. "I doubt it deary, but id you can please do." Mavis gave Steve a quick squeeze as Steve left.
