Now that I had left Godric and Eric, there was one obstacle that was in my way all the time- loneliness... and it did hurt. Some days I wondered whether I should just have returned to them, but I knew they wouldn't be there.

Looked like I was on my own.

The wold was a big and strange place no matter where I went. The North was always the same however- cold and snowy. But the South annoyed me at times- the lengths of sunlight far exceeded the night, so I tended to stay in the Northern regions of wherever I went. One place I went to had no sun at all at that time of year, and I lay on the snow all day, and at night the rainbow lights came out, dancing their way across the sky, mingling with the shimmering stars.

I wonder if Godric had seen this on his own travels? I hoped he had.

To be honest, I rather enjoyed Egypt with its massive pyramids and Sphinx, fascinating stuff- history was an amazing subject, and I was soon more knowledgeable than the local historians.

Whether it was the deep jungles, rivers or mountains, nature continued to amaze me. When I saw a monkey though, it was like I was looking at Eric. Good likeness and actions (!)

The year was 1776 now, and I had been on my own for longer than I had been with Eric and Godric. The world had also changed, but people never evolved- they got more brutal.

I was in America now, and the cities were bigger and better than ever. But humanity were at war with each other once more, and I found it rather pitiful- Godric and I's views on vampires and humans co-existing were looking beyond shaky now. But something else happened that year as well-

I wasn't alone anymore.

As I walked through the darkening streets of New York, I was thinking on what to do and where to go- the world was mine, just like Godric had promised me before turning me.

How was Eric as well? Strangely, I hadn't actually missed him. His childish moaning and arguing wasn't missed... and I felt saddened by it. My oldest friend and lover, and he had totally changed from that man I had once known.

Maybe forgetting him was the way to go from now on...

It was as I thought all these things and went down the back of a building towards the beach that I heard something... something stalking me on two feet, but to a normal human, it would have sounded more like wings from how fast they were going.

I turned around now and surveyed the area- someone or something was there, for I had heard it. And my hearing was impeccable.

There was a very light thump as something landed behind me in the shadows, and I spun round in a flash and slammed the would-be-attacker into the wall with a crunch that would have killed a human.

"Good evening." I said now, staring at the young man that seemed so much younger than me. Age and looks. He looked rather scared as I bared my fangs at him, but then he said, getting excited. "I knew I couldn't be the only one!"

That bemused me, and I asked. "Only one what?"

"Vampire." he said excitedly, and I let him go and he stood there, a big grin on his face. In looks, he was about twenty three, his hair was a light brown that fell in slightly long soft waves. His eyes were a deep dark green like an emeralds. He looked so young... and he was a vampire.

Where was his maker-?

"Are you on your own?" I asked curiously now, rearranging my dress that he'd managed to crease. He nodded and I felt saddened by that- his maker hadn't given a shit that he had made a new vampire, and now his progeny was 'wild blood' as I called them.

The young man nodded, and I sighed- poor bastard.

"Are there anymore vampires?" he asked me now, and I nodded. "Yes, yes there is." but then added. "Where is your maker?"

He shook his head at that. "I don't know Miss. I woke up alone just over two years ago, and here I am." he smiled sheepishly, and I felt my heart go out for him- he had been alone and wild all that time? God... what was his maker playing at-!

"What is your name?" I asked him now, and he replied. "Dorian Abberline."

I nodded. "Freya Eden."

Dorian took my hand now and pressed his lips to it. "A pleasure to meet you Miss. Eden."

A little warning came up in my head now that the sun was rising soon enough, and I asked Dorian. "Where are you staying?"

"The old mill on the edge of town."

All I could do was nod at that, then he hinted dawn arrival and asked. "May I see you again tomorrow night?"

"You may." I smiled, then said. "I am staying at Carlington House just around the corner. You know it?"

"I do."

"You may come over at dusk." I told him, turning away from the vampire.

Wow, I'd finally met another one.

Dorian arrived on time, and he was looking rather nervous- maybe he had sensed how old I was. Goodness, I was well over seven hundred now. Maybe eight hundred... yes, that was right. Just over eight hundred.

Oh my god I was ancient-!

He came in and sat on the sofa, and I wondered why he seemed so afraid- I wasn't going to hurt him.

"How were you changed?" I asked him now, and he explained. "I was on the way back from work at the jewelers and I was attacked on the way back, my work stolen. I just... woke up in the hospital and the sun started burning me as it came through the window. The nurses... nuns, thought I was possessed and put me in the cellar where it was dark. When night came, I escaped when they opened the door. I connected the clues about what I was from my abilities and my fangs. I thought I was the only one..."

I was saddened by his change- some vampire that wanted his gold for money, that was it.

Looked like I had gained a progeny of my own now, and even though I hadn't turned him myself, he was as loyal to me as I had been to Godric.

I kept Dorian with me now, showing him how being a vampire didn't have to be all bad. That his start in life had been rather brutal and cruel, especially to leave him to fend for himself.

He was a rather fun and intelligent young man too once his complaining stopped. He reminded me of a young Eric to be honest.

Dorian was fascinated by my own history, and I showed him the sketchbooks of my travels, and he thought it amazing- he had never left New York, so the outside world was a new world.

"Who are these people?" he asked me now, and I frowned, looking over, then realized I'd accidentally put my personal sketchbook in with the others.

I walked over now and seated myself next to him, looking down at the page with the beautiful and accurate charcoal drawing on. Dorian passed it over to me, and I chuckled as I saw Eric and Godric, a time when we went to the dance house- the only time I had managed to get the pair of them in suits. Godric looked rather amused, but Eric was looking sulky. But the funny sulky.

"Oh, this is Eric and Godric." I told him, and he asked. "Is one of them your maker?"

"Yes, Godric." I replied, pointing to him, and Dorian laughed. "He looks like a boy!"

"He was changed when he was sixteen." I explained, and he gaped. "And how old is he-?"

"Um..." I had to think a moment, then I said. "About one thousand eight hundred by now."

Dorian just gaped even more, and I laughed. "You never even asked me my own age."

"I thought that would be rude." he said, mumbling a little in embarrassment. I chuckled, then told him. "Just over eight hundred now."

"Wow." was all he could say, speechless until he turned over the page and saw another picture of Eric, this time fast asleep and looking like the old one I had known in our village.

"You liked this Eric, didn't you?" he chuckled now, and I nodded. "I did. We grew up together in our human lives up in Scandinavia. You could say we were childhood sweethearts."

"What happened?" Dorian asked now, and I sighed. "I left him. And Godric. Eric just cared more about being a vampire than me. He changed..." I felt tears in my eyes now, and Dorian looked saddened. "He was a fool to let you go."

I chuckled at that, getting out my handkerchief and dabbing the blood from my eyes. "I just hope he's grown up some more. Grown a pair." I laughed at the last three words.

Life could be a bitch at times.

I stayed with Dorian, traveling around with him. He was the missing part that I had been searching for. Godric had been right- it was a rewarding experience to be a maker. Well, I wasn't a maker the traditional way, but the way he obeyed me was exactly how a progeny would obey a maker.

We did have a relationship, but not of the sexual or 'kissy kind' as he liked to joke. More on the lines of me and Godric- from an outsiders view, it was like I did love him, but I didn't in that way.

Close, but not that close.

1890 now, and it was going to be proven to be an eventful year.

We were in Britain now, and London was a big and beautiful place. It was winter too, and the place was covered in snow. All that was needed to complete the picture was Eric and Godric to be here.

But for once, my thoughts had pulled through it seemed.

I'd sent Dorian to the dressmakers to pick up my new dress while I picked up dinner.

Dinner was found in a back alley, walking around looking tired. A young woman in a truly beautiful dress that looked my own size. Hmm... maybe it couldn't hurt?

Dorian scoffed when he returned with my new dress, seeing me in yet another new one. "Frey, did you go dress hunting again?"

"Not intentionally." I chuckled, then asked. "Could you be a sweetie and do up my corset?"

That was a joy when you didn't breathe. Corsets didn't hurt.

"Of course." he said, walking over and starting on it, pulling it tight around me. "Oh, theres a nice little lunch in the drawing room." I told him now, and he told me thank you. Such a polite young man, but god she could be so stubborn at times.

As he finished, I sighed and said. "I have to go over to the jewelers and collect my order before it closes."

"Why didn't you tell me? I could have gotten it for you." Dorian sighed, and I chuckled. "This is kind of personal."

"Oh, of course." he said, taking my hand and pressing his lips to it as he finished off the bow and went off to the drawing room.

The snowy streets of London were a beautiful picture as I walked through, a kind of twinkling ring going through my ears as the snow fell.

The jewelery shop was in the high street area, and as I went in, the shop keeper smiled. "Ah, Miss. Eden. Here for your order?"

I smiled and nodded, walking over and he vanished into the back, then bought out a little red velvet necklace case.

"No silver as you ordered, all white gold." he told me, opening it and showing me the little bracelet with a certain five restored wooden charms hanging from it. A charm bracelet.

"Oh, a wonderful job!" I smiled, letting him put it on around my wrist, untwisting the wolf charm as he did so. I paid him the money now, then left, hardly able to stop my free hand from playing with the white gold charm bracelet that was now adorning my right wrist.

But now I heard something... someone, flash by, and my attention was snapped back to reality- that was way too fast. It was a vampire, but a very old one.

My fangs shot out now, and I looked around, listening for the sound again, but then I heard it again, but before I could turn, something grabbed me from behind, and I went to ram back into the wall, but then I heard a familar laugh and froze as he kissed my cheek.

"Good evening Freyr."

I was let go now, and I turned with wide eyes to see Godric, still the same as ever. "Godric-!" I said in shock, then he let me hug him tightly for too long, but I didn't care- it had been too long.

"I thought I recognized your voice in the shop." he said when I let him go. Only I could get away with greeting him like that. Then again, I had always been rather playful with him. Maybe it was his young appearance that made me feel so young.

"What are you doing here?" I asked now with a smile, but then it faded the tiniest fraction as I saw a tall figure walking forwards behind Godric... and I knew who it would be.

"Hello Frey." Eric said now, and I sighed. "Eric."

But the thing was, he wasn't alone. A woman followed him now and she was blonde too and dressed in a dress like my own. Who was she?

There was a woosh now, and Dorian appeared next to me, probably thinking I was in danger or something. But now he frowned at the two men and said. "You two. You're Godric and Eric?"

Godric looked to me now, then asked, obviously knowing he was a vampire. "Who is this?"

"Oh, this is Dorian." I explained, and Godric smiled a little. "You really have grown up."

Dorian frowned a little, then I asked Eric. "Who's your friend?"

I wanted to say whore, not friend. But she was probably more innocent that him.

"This is Pam." he said, eyes not leaving me once, as if he didn't know what to say or think about the sight of me. I looked to Pam and smiled. "Lovely to meet you."

She smiled back, and in that instant, I knew she was going to be a bitch in later life. Huh. How nice of me (!)

"Shall we all return to my home?" I suggested now, the snow landing in Godrics hair was making him look much older. Godric smiled, then nodded. "Thank you." then took my arm and let me lead the way, the others following us.

What Eric was thinking at this moment, I would have loved to have known.

And the only update for today, hope you like and review.
