Chapter One: Pain

Mother had met a pair of vampires along the way as we wandered from place to place never really settling down. She said he was the oldest ever, at 2000 years of age yet he looked our age, 15, and not a day older. Mother was never one to accept help or even ask for help unless she really needed it.

So when she had asked the young man to allow us a place to settle, it had surprised me. He gladly answered yes and since then, we lived with Godric and his child Eric.

I watched the world pass by as a wandering bystander. Mother had warned us to stay near the home and to only wake when the others did. She didn't want us to be found out she said it was dangerous but I didn't understand how. I never got to the a rebel so when I woke up exactly half an hour before the others usually did, I went out into the sunlight.

The sun was warm against my usually cold skin. I wasn't pale like the others since I occasionally got sun, like then. I would only look slightly darker than usual compared to them.

I sat on the porch, staring up at the sky. It was quiet, I remember, the sky was getting darker and the wind harsher. I felt bad for the others, they wouldn't get to remember what the sun felt like on their skin, or the cool breeze, or even see the sun again. Yet I could by some miracle.

"What are you doing all alone?" Startled, as only a half-breed like me could get, I searched for the voice. I found a pair of men standing near the trees that crowded the home. I knew something was going to happen. The twisting in my gut told me so. I sat up straighter and glared at the men from my seat on the porch.

"None of your business now scram." I demanded, looking away from them. The men laughed and the knots became bigger. "You're so pretty…" One murmured so low but I could hear, I could always hear. I felt like gagging and then running up to him and ripping off his neck. The thoughts in his heads were so visible and it made me angry.

"Are you alone?" The other finally spoke and I knew I was in trouble. "No, my parents are inside, cleaning up." I had to get them away, the sun was still up. The pair walked closer to me and I gulped. I should had stayed asleep.

"Oh really? It's too quiet to be cleaning." I was caught. I rushed up and to the door. The men were close and in no time, they were grabbing me by the hands and trying to haul me away. I screamed terrified. I had no strength to fight them off, I hadn't had blood in a long while.

The man's blood was calling me and I knew if I fed, I would be safe. So I maneuvered and latched onto the man's neck. I forced out my fangs and cut into his neck. Blood dripped out almost immediately. I drank the blood greedily even as the man screamed in pain and the other punched me repeatedly.

When I had satisfied myself, I let go. The blood coursed thru me and I felt differently. The other man had turned and ran, a loud plea falling from his lips. I waited a few seconds until chasing after him. When the prey ran, it was more interesting. I followed his scent of fear and blood. He tried to run faster but no one was faster than a vampire.

I zigzagged constantly making hid heart pound faster anticipating what was to come. I jumped at him, knocking him to the ground. I laughed when he struggled. I grabbed his hands with one of my own and stared into his eyes. I didn't know how to glamour, it was a trait only full vampires had.

He had the look of fear that I had just decades ago, when my home had been raided by men thinking the same he had thought just moments ago. But I ignored it. I placed my hand on his head, I had acquired strange power after my transformation.

I could hear thoughts that were projected at me from the living and with a touch, I could see everything they did bad in their life. I could choose to set him free or kill him.

I placed my hand on his forehead, I was pulled into his mind. Flashes of women screaming made my blood boil. Cries of women begging for it to end, laughs of the man as he repeatedly hurt the women as he planned to do the same to me. I decided then, he was guilty.

"Please…" He begged and I had to laugh. "Is that what the woman asked?" He was too shocked to answer thinking how I had known his secrets. I bit into him, the blood of a monster not tasting as good as I would have liked. "No!" He screamed.

Pain.

Searing pain in my arm caused me to break contact with him. I jumped away, my hand hovering over my left arm where something was burning my skin. The area smelled like burnt flesh and I tried to pull it out but the more I tried, the deeper the pain became. "What is this?" I screamed at him. He watched me struggle until he laughed, a laugh only the insane could make.

"You're a vampire. So the rumors were true." Looking at him was impossible as my attention was on the still burning flesh. "Its silver."

Mother had warned me about getting to close to the element. I didn't know why until then.

Then I realized how dark the sky had gotten and I let out a sinister laugh. "What's so funny?"

"My family is awake now." I licked my lips, cleaning the blood from my mouth. "Help me!" I screamed loudly smirking at his terrified expression.

In a blur, three figures appeared. One of whom I recognized as my mother. She looked pissed at me. I knew I was in trouble but I couldn't wait to see the bastard die. Eric, Godric's child, was at my side in seconds and then another painful burning. He had dug his hand into my arm and pulled out a small piece silver, a cross that usually hung on a chain around a person's neck.

He tossed it aside, his burnt skin healing in seconds. I glanced at my arm but the healing was taking much longer than normal. "Goodbye." Mother grabbed the man's neck and twisted it to the side, breaking his neck.

Suddenly the air went tense, all eyes went on me and I bit my lip.

I was in deep trouble with Mother.
