short one good place to stop

Chapter 5

The memory of me here is still strong. I look out the alter is still there and gifts are still being placed. I go unseen to the city it is thriving with a road to the east out of the mountain vally to other cities. My people have expanded again but they do not encroach on my home, this makes me happy. I go home it's time to see what the three new gifts do.

The first one was a real gem. It let me see and understand how to fully use any gift. I spent time studying my older gifts and learned how much more I could do with them. How I could expand them to hide others increases others strength.

The second was a mirror shield, any gift would bounce back on the caster. It would allow me to move past any other shield. I always wondered why Anubus ripped that young one apart by hand. Every other time he just turned them to dust. How he knew was unknown to me. If he used his power on her he would have been the one turned to dust. This power I would leave on all the time, no gift would ever be used on me without my permission.

The last power was a strange one it allowed me to bind matter. I experimented with it on the stones of my home first. After locking them together I used my extra strength hitting it I could not even scratch it. I used it on the glass then hit it as hard as I could it didn't even flex. I was not sure but it might even survive a nuke. This made me happy, I did not have to worry about my home any longer. The weather could not touch it, it would remain water tight, and no immortal could enter without my help.

I spent a few decades learning my new gifts I found I could only use five at one time but the ability to store them seemed unlimited. I had to admit even I was a little scared. I had used the last power on myself to bind every molecule in my body together. It had taken me over ten years of doing nothing but feeding and working but now I could never be ripped apart. I tried to bite off a finger, nothing. I felt pressure but my teeth that can sheer through anything finally found their mach. I was truly immortal short of killing myself I saw no way anyone else could.

The people have noticed the glass in the tower. More come leaving gifts I have even talked to a few, the languages has change but not enough that I can't figure it out. Then one day I see them carry a young girl, she has been badly hurt her legs have been crushed. She looks to be around fifteen. She is begging for them to kill her. Her father is left to stand with her as the rest run away, he looks to my tower. What does he expect me to do? Who is he to demand anything from me? I will go down there if only to put the girl out of her misery.

He is in his fifty's. He looks me in the eye. I have to admit he has stones. Before I can speak he begins to talk.

"Great Hunter I am lamk. Descendent of Torick my daughter is the last of our line. My family has kept faith these many years. Tending your alter making sure your home was left alone. I am an old man my sons have gone from the trees. My daughter will not last the night. I will take my own life after she is gone. We come to ask for your blessing as our line leaves the mother."

I look down on the girl and remember I still have a debt to Torick. I have never given any thought to changing anyone, although I had worked out a way to do it without having to bite anyone. Making a decision I take her hand and use Aro's power. Smart, fair, loyal, and independent; she is her own person. I look at her with tears in her eyes she is trying not to scream.

"I can save you. I can make you like me. It is very painful and after for the first ten years you must do as I say until you are ready for the new life I can give you. Do you wish me to change you?"

Fighting out one word through the pain "PLEASE!"

It comes out almost like a scream. I look to the father. "She is dead to you do not come back here, do not seek her out, she will walk with the immortals as if she was my own daughter. Tell the people not to come here for it most likely will be there deaths. Say good bye to your daughter."

Tears steam down his face. I know I was hard on him but I will not take the chance of his own daughter killing him.

Kneeing by her side he takes her hand. "Walk tall my little sunshine." He kisses her head and bows to me getting up he heads back to the city to tell the people not to come to the sacred place.

I picked her up and bound to my door four floors up. Laying her on the bed I had made. I have never used it before but I thought I should have one. I got the crude hypodermics I had made years ago, never thinking I would uses them but just in case. I had worked it all out three would be needed one for the jugular vein and two for the arterial veins. Her legs were a lost cause. I would have to give her two in the neck, and one in the heart. I forced myself to create the venom I would need putting it into the shots.

"Are you sure, you will become a blood drinker?" She nods her head and squeezes her eyes shut bracing for the pain I warned her about.

I will be responsible for her for the rest of my life. My hand shakes. I look at it, this is the first time I have felt fear since after my own attack and change. So be it. I push the first one in her neck and wait ten seconds, and push the second one in. Then use the last in her heart hopping it will speed up the change.
