Death of a human, birth of a vampire

THIS IS MY ATTEMPT AT THE CHALLENGE THAT YORK LANE PUT IN CHAPTER 05 OF HIS STORY 'OVERSEER POTTER'

HOPE YOU ENJOY IT, AS THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT THIS KIND OF STORY

Chapter 01

Ten year old Emerald potter was slowly walking to her cupboard with a limp to try to sleep the day away. She was wearing a thin, ragged dress that covered her mass of scars and bleeding cuts that varied in how far along they healed. Her black hair was messier than james potter's and had fleas, lice and was incredibly matted, as she had been unable to wash herself for over three months. Her green eyes, once as bright as the emeralds she's named after, were now almost as dull as poor quality diamonds.

Why was she limping? It's rather simple: her 'cousin' dudley pushed her into her aunt's prized flower bed.

(flashback to earlier)

"MUM, DAD, THE FREAK DECIDED TO TRASH MUM'S FLOWERS," dudley called out. In response, her aunt and uncle rushed towards the flower bed, and saw that emerald was in the flower bed. Her aunt shrieked and her uncle roughly grabbed her, dragged her into the kitchen and proceeded to brutally beat her, yet again. "YOU WORTHLESS FREAK! CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT?!" her uncle yelled at her. He then grabbed his cricket bat and proceeded to beat her leg until it broke, causing emerald to scream in pain. Her uncle grew angrier at that. "WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT SCREAMING, YOU BITCH?!" he yelled at her, before he started to beat her harder.

After 45 minutes (surprised that her uncle lasted that long) he then snarled "go to your room, you freaky bitch. There will be no food for you for three weeks!" with that said, her uncle then left her there, bleeding out a she managed to stand, and began to walk to her cupboard.

(flashback end)

Emerald then managed to open the door and fell onto her bed. Or rather, the thing that's SUPPOSED to be her bed. It was simply one of those mattresses for the crib of an infant. "Why did i have to come to this hell?" emerald asked herself. She was being sarcastic, as she perfectly remembered what happened that night perfectly. The day her birth giver and sperm donor decided to give her up on the word of an old man.

(flashback)

The room for emerald and her younger twin brother harry was in complete shambles. Emerald and harry were crying, their grandmother, andromeda potter, was lying across the top of their crib and wasn't moving, or even breathing. Andromeda was dead. On the ruined floor were two things. The first was the one that led andromeda's killer there: peter pettigrew. Next to peter was a pile of ash, a cloak with serpent designs, a hooded robe and a bleached wooden wand. The pile of ash is what remained of the killer of the grandmother of the twins.

A few minutes after andromeda died, lily, james, sirius, remus and albus rushed into the room. "MOM," james yelled out, seeing his mother's corpse, before he fell to his knees and openly cried in despair. "MY BABIES," lily called out, just before she picked up emerald and harry into her arms. Just then, sirius and remus noticed peter on the ground. ""PETTIGREW"" sirius and remus snarled. "It looks like peter was the traitor," albus said.

James snapped out of his despair, got up from the floor and gently took harry from lily. "Seems like it," he said softly. Albus looked at the pile of ash in the room. Looks like voldemort's been defeated, for now," he said. "For now? Don't you mean 'for good'?" lily asked. "Sadly, no," albus began, before he knelt next to peter and showed the dark mark to them all. "Peter's mark faded, but it's still there. Therefore, voldemort is incredibly weak, but still alive," albus finished.

Albus then stood up. "I need to scan the children, to see if they're fine," albus said. "Go ahead, albus," jame said. "please do it," lily said. As long as the children were healthy, james didn't care. Lily just wanted to make certain that her babies her safe and healthy. Albus waved his wand over the twins, and got some rather surprising results. "Harry's magic is still full and he's healthy, despite an injury over his eye" albus declared. "What about emerald?!" lily demanded. "While emerald is healthy, with a similar scar over her eye, she has little to no magic," albus began. "Emerald is a squib," albus finished.

James grew disgusted that his daughter was a squib. Lily was simply happy that emerald was healthy, magic or no. "albus, get that useless squib out of here," james said hatefully. "JAMES/PRONGS/PRONGS," lily, sirius and remus all protested at the same time. "Lily, give her to me. I'll take her to a place where she will be safe," albus said in his grandfatherly tone.

"NEVER!" lily declared, while having emerald in a hug, while holding her away from albus. "Lily, she will more than likely grow to resent her brother for having magic, when she does not," albus said. "Not to mention, voldemort's followers will more than likely try to attack her in retaliation for what happened to their master, whether if she did it or not," albus finished.

Lily began to cry at the thought of her baby being killed. She looked at emerald and gently kissed her forehead. "My baby, know that i will always love you," lily said in a soft tone. She then VERY reluctantly handed her beloved daughter to albus. "She stays safe, you hear me?!" she ordered albus. "Of course, lily," albus said, before he vanished with a *pop* sound.

(still in flashback, number four, private drive)

Albus placed emerald on the doorstep of the house. He then places warming charms on her, to keep her warm in the morning chill. "Good riddance, you useless squib," albus said. Albus then vanished into this air, leaving emerald where she was. She would be woken up by the shrill shrieking and angry yelling of her aunt and uncle.

(flashback end)

"I wonder… if mama… still loves… me…" emerald tiredly said. She then went to sleep, hearing a man's echoey scream, never to wake up again. Or so she thought. When she woke up, it was to a bright light shining on her body. Thankfully, it was not blinding. When her eyes adjusted, she saw a guy that had messy black hair with red tips cascading down the back of his head. His face was protected by a golden mask that had solid white eyes and a large beak where the mouth is supposed to be. His body was covered in small feathers and wore an odd outfit. There were three notable things about him. First, the guy had four large bird wings coming from his back. Second, instead of the regular hands and feet of a human being, he had claws and talons. Finally, he wore odd golden armor, most of which covered his waist, hands and feet, with the remainder of the armor covering the outside edges of his wings.

"Welcome, my daughter, to the world of the living," the man said, while also trying to make a joke. "Who… are… you…?" she asked weakly. "I am peroroncino," he introduced himself, before he put a hand on her cheek, "and you are my daughter, shalltear bloodfallen.

Emerald, no, shalltear looked at the man that called himself her father. "Where…?" she weakly asked. "We are in my lab, in the tomb of nazarick," peroroncino said, before he removed his hand from her cheek, and helped her sit up. He then went to his worktable, grabbed a bottle and uncorked it. Shalltear smelt a delicious smell. Her father then brought the open bottle to her. "What is that, father?" she asked.

"This is what i got for you, should you awaken," he said before putting the bottle to her lips and helped her drink from it. Once she got the taste of the drink, she grabbed the bottle and started to drink earnestly. As shalltear drank from the bottle, she felt her strength returning. Before she knew it, she had drained the bottle of its contents.

Shalltear took the bottle from her lips and looked inside it. "Aaah, there's no more left," she whined. Her father simply chuckled as he gently took the bottle from her. "Now that you've regained your strength, let's get you some clothes," her father said as he helped her off the lab table and steadied her. Shalltear took a few steps, stumbled, then straightened herself and began to walk. Peroroncino gently clapped in joy. "Nicely done, shalltear, you can already walk," he said cheerfully. He then led shalltear to a mirror, where she saw her new appearance for the first time.

She saw that she had extremely pale skin, a beautiful face, long silver hair reaching the base of her spine, slightly glowing ruby eyes with slit pupils and pointed fangs sticking out of her upper lip. For her body, she saw that she was about 5'2 with a slight athletic build, a large B-cup chest and slight womanly curves. All in all, she looked like a beautiful pre-teen girl that's about to go through puberty.

She carefully ran her hands over her face and body, marveling at how soft her skin was, compared to when she fell asleep as emerald.

As shalltear was admiring herself, peroroncino brought out a wardrobe full of clothes for her to try on. "Shalltear, i brought the clothes," peroroncino said, catching her attention. She went over to the wardrobe and went through it. Just then, she remembered that her father was there. Shalltear looked at her father. "A little privacy, father, please?" she asked in an embarrassed tone.

Realizing that she was embarrassed, he set up a black changing wall between him and shalltear. "Thank you, father," she said before she perused the clothes available in the wardrobe. Selecting what she liked, she put them on. The first item she put on were purple panties, followed by a purple dress with a bell bottom with white ruffles on it. The top half of the dress was a dark purple with black and magenta ruffles. She then picked out a bonnet with dark purple and magenta ruffles. She selected a long purple-pink ribbon, which she tied on her waist to serve as a belt, the knot on the left side of her dress with a healthy amount of excess ribbon hanging from the knot. For the final item of clothing, she selected a striped dark purple bow with magenta stripes, which she tied her hair back with.

shalltear looked in the mirror and saw that her outfit was finished. "I'm dressed, father," shalltear said. Peroroncino then put the divider away, and saw what his daughter chose. He then gave her a big hug, which she tried to struggle out of. "You look adorable, shalltear," peroncino said. Shalltear then, reluctantly, gave her father a hug.

About a month after shalltear woke up, peroroncino finished his latest creation. "Shalltear, come here, please," he called out. "Yes, father?" she asked. Here you go, i finally finished it," peroroncino said, giving her the creation. Shalltear took it and looked at it. It looked like an odd lance. It was mostly dark blue, had a dull point and a lavender colored orb. "Thank you, father," shalltear said, looking at her father. "You're welcome, my daughter," peroroncino said.

A month after that, he decided to give her another gift. "Shalltear, i made something for you," he called out. Shalltear approached. "Yes, father?" she asked. Peroroncino simply gave her what was in his hands: a dark purple umbrella with black frills on the outside edge of it and multiple thin magenta strips running from the center to the edge of the umbrella and a hook bottom. "Thank you, father," shalltear said, before she quickly hugged him and left.
