I didn't know exactly what was going on, but when I woke up with a start, the first thing I thought about was how cold I seemed to feel.

"Oh wha-! What-!" I panicked now, but then felt a hand on my arm that made my head snap up. The boy was crouched before me, then he said. "Calm down. Everything's ok."

I looked around now- it looked like we were in the back of a cave, and I could hear each little drop of water falling from the ceiling very clearly, could smell the decay that was heavy on my nose.

All I did was stood up and back off, panicking as the noises hit me from all direction, the smells... everything...

"Freyr, calm down."

It was a familiar voice now, and I opened my eyes to see Eric stood before me. I hadn't even heard him move... what was going on-? Why was I so hungry? Why did night seem so much brighter?

I had completely shut out the world around me now, Eric included, but now the boy spoke.

"I know it's daunting for a start. But you need to concentrate. Everything's going to be ok."

For some reason, his calm voice did the trick and I started to calm down. Everything did seem so strange and loud... brighter too, and I could see that Eric had been the same when he woke up too, but now he was calmer and it was starting to rub off on me too.

But now I realized Eric was alive, and me too, and I pulled him into my arms for a hug. He kissed the top of my head, and I was looking at the boy around his arm.

Who... and what was he exactly-?

"Eric, Freyr." he said now, and Eric let me go and turned to the boy who said. "How are you both feeling?"

I nodded, and Eric said, rather curiously too I had to admit. "Hungry."

With that, I nodded in agreement, then asked. "Who are you?"

"I'm Godric." the boy answered, and I nodded. "What are we?"

"That-" Godric chuckled. "Is an interesting question. But I feel it would be better for you to watch and learn. But that will have to wait until tonight."

Eric frowned, and he wasn't the only one. He asked. "Why tonight?"

"You cannot step into the sun again." Godric explained. "It will kill you."

We were both shocked into silence by that, then I spluttered out. "Is that a joke-? Never-?"

He looked rather sad as he shook his head. "No trick. You move by night, sleep by the day."

Eric scoffed, then walked forwards towards the entrance of the cave that was a minuet or two away, but as I followed him, the light particles started stinging my eyes a little, and Eric said with a smirk. "So this will hurt then?"

I glanced behind me at Godric who was safely in the shadows. He just rolled his eyes and said. "Yes. I suggest you don't do that."

Eric laughed, then stepped outside into the sun. He spred his arms out and shrugged. "Well? What is- ow. Ow!" He soon ran back inside, and I saw burns all over his body and face, but as I watched, they healed up.

Godric hadn't been lying.

But Eric wasn't done, and he said. "Forever-? Never see sunrise... or light of day again-?" he looked totally shocked, and Godric walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Immortality has its sacrifices."

Eric was motionless, his expression frozen. I wondered if I was the same; live forever... but in the darkness-? It seemed so... oh God this was really happening. I'd never be able to walk along the beach in the sunlight again, see the flowers and those golden tones in Erics hair.

I sighed now, then walked further back into the cave, but I could see everything as if it was day. All my senses were better, and as if Godric knew what I was thinking, he said to me. "Everything's enchanced when you change. Don't worry, you'll get used to it soon enough."

Was that why everytime I saw Eric, I was reminded by how much I loved him-? Wow, intense.

And now Godric explained to us what had happened... that we were vampires.

Vampires-? That was impossible wasn't it-? It was a story we were told when we were younger over a fire with the adults.

But this was what we were now... monsters of the night.

And we always would be.

Eric was fast asleep now as the day went on, and Godric was sat with his eyes closed, but I could sense he wasn't.

"How old are you?" I asked now, genuinely curious. He looked so young... but I could feel he was much older.

Godric chuckled, but didn't open his eyes as he said. "Have a guess Freyr."

"Umm..." I didn't know what to say, truly. So I said. "I can't."

Godric opened his eyes now and said. "I am a thousand years old."

That shocked me, and I stuttered out. "Wh-? That's impossible-!"

"Nothing is impossible." he told me now, and I nodded. "I think I am starting to believe that now Godric." but then I felt that wave of hunger hit me once more, and I groaned, sitting back and frowned as I felt something sharp on my bottom lip. I raised a hand and felt two sharp teeth on my upper mouth.

"What-!" I said now, and Godric sighed. "It's ok. Just concentrate." I calmed down now, and they receded back into my mouth and were gone... for now.

"Fangs-?" I said now, and Godric nodded, and I was faced with his own that he was showing me, making me flinch. He snicked them back in now and closed his eyes once more.

He was a strange person, but I liked him already.

When night fell, we emerged, and the world had changed around us.

Eric walked beside me now, his head snapping to wherever he heard something, and he wasn't the only one. Suddenly, Godric jumped and I jolted as he peered down from his perch in the tree.

"Come up." he smirked now, and I said. "How?"

"Jump." Godric just said, and I glanced to Eric who looked skeptic, but then I closed my eyes and jumped, feeling foolish, but I felt Godric catch me and I sat next to him. "Well done." he said, then looked down to Eric. He was almost gaping, but then jumped himself and almost missed, leading me to grab him, Godric too and pull him onto the branch.

"Very good." Godric said, then he was gone in a flash and was on the ground, but then was back up again. The speed he had done it was amazing, and I saw Eric try the same, but ended up almost losing his balance as he landed back on the ground. I landed neatly next to him, but then Godric appeared next to me and said with a dark smile. "Still hungry?"

Me and Eric nodded, and he led us forwards through the forest, and I could tell he was in a hunter mode that was much like a wolves.

He stopped us now, then said quietly, but yet still clearly to my ears. "Go ahead."

Eric stepped forwards now, and I heard it too- people... a group of them. The ones that had essentially killed us.

I snarled ferally, and my fangs came out once more. Godric seemed a little conflicted, like he wanted to let us loose on them... but he also didn't want us to attack them. Like he didn't want us to kill... But he gave in now and sat up the tree, letting me and Eric hunt down the group of humans that were now about fifteen.

We teased them at first, flashing past and put the fire out so they were plunged into darkness. But now we started singling them out and picking them off.

Eric was the first to grab one, and I heard the man scream as he ripped into his neck, missing the vein the first time and ending up biting him about three times.

I caught my own now, and felt unsure, but then Godric appeared next to me and before I could bite into the man I was holding, tapped a part of his neck, indicating where I should bite. He was actually a rather good teacher, and I got it right first time. The blood seemed so horrible for a start, like a metal blade, but then it was like sweet berries, and before long, he was dead and drained.

Whereas I was feeling unsure about biting these humans, Eric was enjoying himself, snapping them apart and not biting them. It was when he had killed eight of them, he finally grabbed one and started to bite into it with the intent of draining them.

Eric made short work of him, then walked over to me, face covered in blood. He grinned at me now, then he lent forwards and kissed me, the sweet blood on his lips were more of a draw.

I was wondering if he was blood drunk now, but as Godric appeared and said. "That should last you until tomorrow."

I let Eric go now and asked, looking at his spotless form. "Did you have any?"

He nodded, and I was suddenly envious how he was so neat. Not a drop of scarlet was on him.

"Shall we move?" he asked now, and I looked to Eric who nodded.

That murderous rampage wouldn't be the last, I was sure of that.

We stayed with Godric, our friend and teacher. Our maker.

A few months later, things had changed.

We were in the south of Germania now, and the change in scenery was so very different. The towns were... so big and advanced from our community in Sweden.

The buildings were massive too, and so bright, even in the darkness.

And a new set of rules and lessons arose.

Godric explained this form of mind control to us, and showed us on a young woman that let him bite her without complaining or screaming. She was so calm, and when Godric finished her off, he let her drop and said. "It takes practice, but its relatively easy afterwards when you do it."

It was so much fun when we did get the hang of it.

Eric certainly relished in it as well, and I didn't actually mind him sleeping with someone else for once- sex these days hurt rather alot to begin with, and when Godric told me it always would, I was incredibly pissed off.

What was the point in living forever, never able to get pregnant if you couldn't enjoy it-?

Lucky fucking men... I was a virgin forever.

But apart from shitty sex experiences, life was rather good.

Roll on the future, and both good and bad times were coming.

And the next, hope you like and drop a review. thanks.
