AN: Hey everyone guess what? On FanfFic I am a year old. *party* and it's all thanks to you guys. If it wasn't for your support and motivation I would be nowhere. So here is a bonus story. It's Maria's history. Oh and if you are thinking of skipping, I don't recommend it because there is something's that retain to the main plot.

Rose's POV

I always hated my younger sister Jenny. She had long blond hair like our mother, big blue eyes, and flawless skin. Me? I had black hair, like my father, pale as a ghost, and unattractive eyes. She was 12 and looked 16, I was 15 and looked like a widow. I was older, I was to marry first, I was to have a child first, ME!!! But that slut ruined my life in ways you can't begin to imagine.

I still remember the day it started. It was a nice sunny day where we lived. It was so long ago, I can't remember where exactly that was. My brothers were packing the carriage with the harvest and my sister and I were walking down the fallow land.

"Rose, my dearest sister, may I tell the something?" Jenny asked in complete innocence.

"Of course sweet Jenny." I replied smiling to her.

"You must swear on grandfather's grave you shall not tell a soul. Not even mother and father." She warned me.

"Jenny, what is it that I can not speak of?" I asked worried for my sister.

"Swear and I will tell you." She said.

"I swear, not come on. Speak." I said. Little Jenny, 13 now, smiled and looked at me.

"I met a man. And he is so kind, and gentle, and we're in love." She said spinning and smiling brightly.

"That's it?" I asked laughing.

"Not even half." She continued laughing. "He's…" she said before looking around. We were completely isolated but she felt a need to be sure. "He's a vampire." She whispered low.

All time stopped. The bright smile once painted on my sisters face fell to the floor. Nothing moved. The birds didn't chirp, the wind didn't blow, nothing. Utter silence.

"Your shouldn't say such things child." I said hoping, praying she was joking. "The town might think you mad, or hang you or worse." I said, not that I cared. Jenny pouted.

"You think I'm making this up. Well I assure you I am not." She said firmly.

"For your sake you better be. Now stop it." I shot to her. She then pulled her sleeves up to revile a wound on her wrist. I stepped forward and grabbed her arm and examined her. Two puncher wholes, stained in her blood.

"He made them this morning. He didn't have time to heal me." She explained. I looked my sister dead on the eyes as she continued. "He loves me. He would never hurt me. And I feed him in a display of my feelings." She said before pulling her arm from me. I was still frozen from shock. "When I turn 16, we will marry, have children and live together. Forever." She said. I did the only sensible thing I could. I slapped her across her face.

"IDIOT. Do you hear yourself? Marring a vampire? You are dealing with the devil Jenny. Not a human. He will kill you." I snapped.

"IF HE WANTED TO KILL ME THEN HE WOULD HAVE DONE IT ALREADY." She yelled at me.

"Why are you telling me this?" I cried.

"Because. I need your help." She said holding my hands. "This is all very confusing and complicated but trust me. He means no harm. And I want you to meet him." she said.

"So he can kill me?" I asked.

"So he can meet you. And have trust in my family." She explained before kissing my check. "But please sister, speak of this to no one." She begged.

"I will keep quiet. But if he ever harms you again, I shall have the town stake him." I said before walking off.

I knew then and there this was a bad idea. But the idea of my sister leaving me forever, or dyeing by a devil beast, well, that's pleasing.

That night he came to us. My sister opened her bedroom window and sat on her bed and I sat across from her. I was in my night gown, and she was dressed in a picnic outfit. We stayed silent until a man came in through the window. He had long black hair, fierce red eyes, and milk white skin. My sister sighed with joy as he entered, but I froze in fear. It wasn't his features that scared me, but the two fangs that hung from his lips.

"Mathew this is my sister Rose." Jenny introduced. The devil looked at me and smiled, his fangs suddenly hidden.

"How do you do?" he asked bowing to us. I was shocked a thing like this could be so tame. He swept my sister off her feet and took her into the night. And he did this every night, and I always waited for her safe return.

It has been 3 years. I am married now to a family friend and have a son, and I am expecting another soon. And my sister is engaged to his bother. My family did not accept Mathew, unknowing of his vampireness, and my sister would have none of it. But she needs to learn to grow up.

I tucked my child in and walked down the hall to my room. Then I hear a knock at the door. I walk there quickly and my sister burst inside. Tear staining her face, black cloak following her and she slammed the door shut, her back facing me.

"Jenny, what is wrong dear?" I asked. She turned around to show me something I did not expect. Her stomach swollen and larger than mine. "Jenny, what…. What's going on?" I asked.

"Mathew. I wanted to me with him. So he told me if I bared his child, we'd be inseparable. But now, his leaders are angered and want me dead." She cried. "But worst of all." She said holding her stomach. "I think it's time for the baby to be born. Please Rose, help me." She begged.

I held her hand and tired to calm her down, but my door swung open again. This time dark figures standing outside and Jenny began screaming.

"Stay back. They can not have my baby." She wailed to then. I can hear my son crying now from the noise but the next thing I remember, darkness.

I try to forget the events of that day. My sister dyeing, my family being murdered, and now all I have is my sister's demon child. And worse? I am forced to care for it. FOREVER. They turned me into a vampire to raise this thing. I hate it. Hate it so much. Its name is Maria, the name my sister called it when it was still in her womb. Now it's my niece and I must raise her.

Maria's POV

Life with my aunt wasn't easy, especially with what I was. I was a normal, healthy human girl, with a few added bonuses. Like I had dreams of the future and had a taste for rare meats. My aunt said it's because I have vampire in my blood, but who knows. Well know one did, until I turned 16 and stopped aging.

It's 1987 and I still look 16, but I don't crave blood, or need it. My visions slowed from every night to one in a blue moon and my aunt, more annoyed. "This could be a revelation" the vampires doctors and professors said when they saw me. I truly was a new creature, all the good things of being a vampire, minus all the negatives. Beautiful, strong, forever young, what more could a person want?

Well I was attending a special vampire college within our convent and I was, shockingly, an outcast. The others all hated me. They said I look, smell and act like a human, that I don't belong here. But as long as my blood says I am a vampire, I do.

I remember when I first met he man that is my husband now. He was first my literature teacher. He did always look at me differently during class. And one day, the day before summer break he asked me to stay after class.

I stood before his desk and he just looked at me. "Maria, what are you?" he asked. "I smell a human, but I can also find the smallest hint of vampire in you" he said.

"Both I guess. No one really knows what I am." I stated. He smiled at me and I melted there and then. He was so beautiful, not that other vampires weren't but this man was different.

"How old are you?" he asked.

"Over 300." I lied. I was more around mid 200. Then again you lose track.

"May I ask you something?" he asked.

"Certainly." I said my heat beating faster as his smile grew. He got up from his seat behind his desk and made his way to me. He stood, in front of me, leaving almost no room and he leaned in. I was in so much shock I couldn't react. He gently planted his lips on mine and I think my heart exploded.

"Was that alright?" he asked as he moved away. I could only nod in response. "Would you like me to do it again?" he asked. Again I answered with a nod. He chuckled and leaned forward. This time he snaked his arm behind my back and held me closer to him. I wrapped my arms around his head and tried to remain calm. Ever since that moment, we have been dating. And since it was a vampire school, it was okay for teachers and students to have relationships.

A few months later I started feeling ill. I was losing my glow, the light in my eyes, and could barely move. I lay in my door room bed gasping for breath as the vampire doctors tried to help me. They said my vampire half was trying to become a full vampire, but my human half wouldn't let that happen. They said I would only survive if I was turned now. But my aunt refused to. She wanted me to die. But Chuck would have none of that. He stormed in after dark and bit my neck making me his.

After I learned to control my powers, which came back at me with a vengeance, life become normal. Chuck and I married and got jobs in the vampire community. I never thought back to the days of my mother or father but there was a few questions always gnawing at the back of my head.

Why were they so cruel to my aunt and sweet to me?

If we mean no harm, why are we unknown to the world?

And, what do they want with the chosen children?

Lastly, is there more convents out there?
